When everything is changing around us, and we do nothing, we are most likely out of alignment! What does that corrective pivot look like for you? Will choosing to fear keep you from making that “caps lock decision” that could positively change the trajectory of your career?

2024 AAHKS President, Dr. James “Hutch” Huddleston!
Device Nation sits down for a most inspiring conversation with Dr. James “Hutch” Huddleston, current President of AAHKS. We talk about his amazing career, his experiences lobbying on behalf of surgeons, IQR, the future of joint reconstruction, why AAHKS has been so successful, and so much more!!
We then pivot to Vernon, New Jersey to visit “Action Park.” This waterpark during the 1980's was considered the most dangerous amusement attraction in the US, are there any teachable moments we can apply to our industry??
Lastly, what about offsite sterile processing for the ASC? I believe it be the future, as it's one of those rare services that brings value to every single stakeholder….especially reps. Device Nation visits the beta facility in Boca Raton, to give you a backstage glimpse of what's on the way!
