In
accessing health care, there’s often a notion
that patients needing highly specialized medical
treatment must travel to major metropolitan areas
or seek out an academic-based health system for
care. Luckily for residents in and around Jefferson
City, highly trained specialists are available close
to home.
In 2009, the Missouri Orthopaedic Institute
(MOI) at Capital Region Medical Center
(CRMC) opened its doors, addressing
the need for orthopaedic services in our
community. Staffed with University of
Missouri Health Care physicians, the MOI at
CRMC provides coverage for a wide variety of
pediatric and adult orthopaedic conditions.
The perfect addition to CRMC’s extensive clinic
network and physicians group, Capital Region
Physicians, MOI operates within the scope of the
clinic system. Patient records are electronic and
are accessible by providers, so all parties can stay
abreast of the patient’s progress.
Conveniently located in the new Capital Region
Physicians building, the MOI physicians are in close
proximity to the hospital, which means less travel
time for them and more time to spend on their
patients. Also located just one floor below is a state-
of-the-art physical therapy gym. Capital Region
Outpatient Therapy Services allows the orthopedists
the ability to keep a close eye on progress after
surgery during the rehabilitation phase.
Orthopaedic surgeons Lauren Cook, MD;
David Flood, MD, and Clayton Nuelle, MD, take
appointments predominantly at MOI at CRMC. Ajay
Aggarwal, MD; Jay Bridgeman, MD; Sumit Gupta,
MD; Daniel Hoernschemeyer, MD; and Benjamin
Summerhays, DPM, cover a host of specialties
through weekly outreach from the University.
They perform surgeries in CRMC’s operating
suites and follow up with patients in the clinic in
the new Capital Region Physicians building.
