The Newport Beach Public Library Foundation in collaboration with UCI Health is pleased to present the 2024-2025 season of Medicine in Our Backyard featuring an extraordinary group of renowned doctors and researchers speaking on a wide range of topics. The UCI doctors present the latest studies and newest technologies in an engaging online forum. This series is funded in part by the generosity of long time Newport Beach Public Library Foundation members Mike and Polly Smith.

About 13 percent of women and 10 percent of men ages 60 or older have knee osteoarthritis. In osteoarthritis, cartilage — the connective tissue that acts as a shock absorber within the joint — gradually wears down with age, inflammation or other factors. Dr. DiGiovanni will present the most up to date treatment options for treating knee osteoarthritis.
