Palm Beach Research and Education Foundation (REEF)
Who we are
The Palm Beach Research & Education Foundation
We are a surgeon-led nonprofit committed to improving patient mobility, musculoskeletal health, and overall quality of life. Our team includes orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine clinicians, research fellows, residents, medical students, and graduate trainees who work together to push science forward and serve our community.
What We Focus On
Orthopedic Research
Clinical, biomechanical, outcomes-based, and data-driven studies that elevate the standard of musculoskeletal care.
Sports Medicine Innovation
Injury prevention, athlete recovery, performance science, and research that helps athletes of all ages return to activity safely.
Mobility & Healthy Aging
Improving functional independence, posture, joint preservation, and quality of life for aging populations and active adults.
Education & Training
Mentorship, clinical training, research development, simulation, and educational programs that prepare the next generation of clinicians.
