WHY GROUP HEALTH? MEMBERS SAY IT BEST
Surgery Was Definitely Worth It

Jane Collymore and Dr. Cara Beth LeeWhile training with the USA Women's National Volleyball Team in 2006, I suffered a hip injury that resulted in a great deal of pain. I had a hip impingement, which occurs when abnormally shaped bone causes damage from repetitive contact at the joint edge. I finally had surgery last October, performed by Group Health orthopedic surgeon Cara Beth Lee.

The process of rehabilitation is about baby steps, daily consistency, and lots of patience. But the surgery was definitely worth it. For the first time in almost three years I can walk and move about without grinding pain. I hope to return to USA Volleyball this spring.
