Giving Back

We give back in our local and global community

Many doctors and therapists have chosen to volunteer, independent of their relationship with OSS.  

At High Schools, Places of Worship and Civil Service.  Our providers routinely volunteer at local high schools like St. Francis High School, Burbank High School, and Burroughs High School as the sports doctor for football games.  We also have provided free orthopaedic care to community members locally and abroad, worked in the California Special Olympics and served in the United States military. Dr. Stephan Yacoubian is part of the US Navy reserves. 

We do scientific research and serve on medical boards

All our doctors have voluntarily researched and written papers to advance their specific subspecialty. Some of our collective involvements include memberships on editorial boards (e.g., Dr. Shahan Yacoubian is on the board for the Journal of Arthroplasty), chair positions the Providence Health System, written publications for books (e.g., Case Studies in Pain Management, European Spine Journal, and a book chapter in Neurosurgery Tricks of the Trade).

We did knee replacement surgeries in historic Armenia

Artsakh, formerly referred to as Nagorno-Karabakh and part of historical Armenia, had a small population of 150,000 of Armenians and this group had great difficulty accessing adequate healthcare and medical services. Our doctors traveled with the Adventist Health Glendale mission and Armenia Fund to this region to provide orthopaedic help. 

In a span of 4 days, the doctors performed dozens of orthopaedic surgeries at the Stepanakert Republican Medical Center.  They performed 14 total knee replacement surgeries, which were done for the first time in this remote region, and 4 minimally invasive shoulder and knee surgeries (arthroscopy) along with other procedures.  Through their strong professional relationships with medical companies in LA, these doctors also secured an important donation - expensive orthopaedic surgery supplies - from DJO Surgical (total value of $200,000). 

All while delivering these treatments, the LA based doctors simultaneously coached a local orthopaedic doctor on how to do orthopaedic minimally invasive surgery and set protocols for orthopaedic operations.
