ATLANTA, Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Village Podiatry Group, the largest podiatric medicine and surgery practice in Georgia, is partnering with the Emory Healthcare Network and with Emory's Orthopaedics & Spine Center in an effort to broaden patient access to podiatric care. "We are very pleased to partner with Emory Healthcare whose prestigious academic institution is known throughout the country," says David N. Helfman, DPM, FACFAS, CEO, Chairman of Extremity Healthcare, Inc., the owner of Village Podiatry Group. "Emory's partnership evaluation process was quite extensive, and it was a pleasure working with their chief of orthopaedics, Scott D. Boden, MD, and their entire management team."

By working on collaborative efforts with the Emory's Department of Orthopaedics, as well as other specialties within the Emory Healthcare Network, we can better integrate podiatric physicians and surgeons into patient care.
