Orthopedic surgeon Matthew T. Provencher, MD, of The Steadman Clinic, received the Col. Brian Allgood Memorial Leadership Award from the Society of Military Orthopedic Surgeons in December 2017 at the annual meeting of the society.
The memorial award was established in honor of Allgood, an orthopedic surgeon who died in combat in Iraq in 2007. According to a press release, recipients of the award exemplify selfless leadership, commitment to excellence in military orthopedics and loyalty to the ideals of duty, honor and country.
Provencher joined The Steadman Clinic in March 2016 and specializes in knee and shoulder injuries. According to the release, Provencher served as an orthopedic surgeon at the Naval Medical Center San Diego and was director of the sports medicine and surgery program. As part of his humanitarian and disaster relief work, Provencher also served as the director for surgical services on the USNS Mercy hospital ship and participated in the Pacific Partnership 2012, which focused on improving disaster response capabilities with partner nations.
“Dr. Provencher’s military training and the collaborative skills he has developed directly benefit his patients in Vail every day,” Dan Drawbaugh, CEO of The Steadman Clinic and Steadman Philippon Research Institute, said in the release. “He is not only a world-class surgeon, he’s a world-class leader and person. All those who have worked with Matt know that as accomplished and skilled as he is, the pursuit of excellence in both patient care and leadership are ongoing pursuits for him. We are fortunate to have him on the Steadman team and thrilled for him on this well-deserved recognition.”
