Cerebral Palsy Care
Since January 2018, the Campbell Clinic Foundation has led a multidisciplinary outpatient clinic focused on children with cerebral palsy in partnership with Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, thanks to a transformational $1 million grant from the Children’s Foundation of Memphis. Led by Campbell Clinic pediatric orthopaedic physicians Drs. Stephanie Chen and David Spence, this one-stop shop is the only program of its kind that offers comprehensive care and resources. In 2024, CFOM made an additional $900,000 pledge to further expand services at the Center of Excellence for Cerebral Palsy Care & Research, which serves more than 500 patients annually.

Campbell Residency International Elective
The desire to serve extends beyond our borders to annual medical mission trips, where Campbell surgeons and residents provide care and training to high-need communities in developing countries. These experiences change the lives of orthopaedic surgeons and the patients they serve. The Molly Shumate Scholarship Fund provides funding for travel, training and outreach to patients and healthcare organizations in countries in Latin America and Asia.
Outreach at Regional One Health
The Campbell Clinic Foundation was an integral part of establishing the Elvis Presley Trauma Center at Regional One, bringing vital Level One trauma care to our region. Campbell Clinic physicians and residents provide expertise and compassionate care across all specialties to under- and uninsured patients throughout the Mid-South.
Foot Clinics
Every year, the Campbell Clinic Foundation brings compassionate foot care to men and women experiencing homelessness. Foot and Ankle specialist Dr. David Richardson leads a team of volunteers through the Our Hearts to Your Soles event at Memphis Union Mission in the fall and Healing Soles at the Hospitality Hub in the spring.
Each event serves upwards of 100 patients who receive basic foot care and attention for special issues and leave with new shoes and socks. RedWing Shoes partners with us in the fall, and Campbell Clinic staff hold a sock drive each year to support this effort. We rely on donor and volunteer support to see these efforts continue to grow.

Student Outreach
The Campbell Clinic Foundation has been committed to education from the start, with over 100 years of training surgical residents. Beyond excellent surgical education, we are building the pipeline for future generations of clinicians – working to spark interest with promising high school and college students who have been underrepresented in the field.

Orthopaedic Exploration Day
Orthopaedic Exploration Day is an annual event that reaches over 100 STEM and health-care minded students in the Memphis Shelby County Schools. Now in its second year, this event allows students to interact with physicians, meet medical device representatives and use instruments frequently found in the OR.
Campbell Clinic residents, fellows, staff MDs, physical therapists, and industry partners facilitate immersive and engaging stations that focus on the tactile operations of a facet of orthopaedic care. Their primary task? Get students to interact with the materials and ask questions! Participants learn about joint repair and the technology that contributes to patient wellness.
“I really enjoyed each of the stations, there was something to learn from each professional there and it was just eye opening to see the technology used every day to care for others,” one student shared.
UTHSC-Campbell Clinic Foundation Summer Internship
In 2025, the Campbell Clinic Foundation partnered with the UTHSC Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Biomedical Engineering to host the 2025 Summer Orthopaedic Internship program. Designed to encourage and support pre-med undergraduate students pursuing orthopaedic medicine, three interns spent six weeks shadowing orthopaedic surgeons in operating rooms and clinics, following current residents on hospital rotations, and working side by side with leading PhDs and research teams. These impressive students presented their research as a capstone to the internship.
We are grateful to Campbell Clinic alumna Dr. Lucie King – the first female orthopaedic surgeon to graduate from our program – for her generous support of this opportunity!
Research Scholar Program
Started in 2019, the Research Scholar Program is a “gap year” experience for young professionals interested in medical careers. During the paid, year-long program, scholars work across subspecialties and participate in clinical research, including study design, data collection and analysis, literature review, regulatory compliance and abstract/manuscript preparation.
Renn Eason, currently an M4 at UTHSC, says, “The research scholar position has been the most beneficial experience I could have asked for. It helped me achieve my dream of going to medical school. It is through the wonderful experience that I fell in love with orthopaedics.”
Nth Dimensions Summer Internship
The Campbell Clinic foundation has partnered with Nth Dimension to host a summer internship. It is a key initiative designed to provide hands-on experience, mentorship, and professional development for aspiring physicians. This internship exposes first year medical students to the specialty and equips students to be competitive applicants for orthopaedic surgery residency programs.
