Local people do good

Updates on how locals are working to help others and make a difference

Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Alexander Sah, a Fremont native and medical co-director of the Institute for Joint Restoration & Research and medical director of Outpatient Arthroplasty Program at Washington Outpatient Surgery Center, has performed the world’s first 50 knee replacements with the THINK Surgical TMINI® Miniature Robotic System paired with the Zimmer Biomet Persona® Knee implant portfolio. In 2024 Dr. Sah was selected to perform the first-ever Zimmer Persona knee replacement surgery on the THINK platform. The technology has received clearance from the FDA and will become available throughout the U.S.

Local schools were fundraising for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. On Friday, Oct. 26, Stratford School Milpitas conducted a cash drive in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation at their Stratford 25th Anniversary celebration. They raised a total of $3,010.

The Hayward Silicon Valley Lions Club also donated in support of cancer patients, in collaboration with SOLACE Charities USA. At a recent meeting, the Lions Club presented a check for $15,000 to SOLACE representatives. The amount will support 60 children battling cancer.
