GAINESVILLE, Fla., Jan. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Orthopaedic Institute has partnered with the HURT! mobile app to offer free virtual after-hours access to orthopaedic specialists for the treatment of sudden, acute injuries.

The HURT! app is a convenient way for patients to bypass unnecessary visits to the emergency room and receive the attention they need from an entire network of orthopaedic experts.
