A Mom couldn't find the answers she needed for her baby.
Cara Whitney said, "Once I started questioning the system of curing hip dysplasia I realized there was no system. No categories, no percentages. The only thing that has been agreed is that “We don’t know”. We need a place to learn, create and gather information about something that is curable but could be cured more efficiently with less harness hours logged and avoiding surgeries. Developing a system that all doctors with less experience can use confidently (avoiding “I don’t know”). The possibility of creating a universal harness and a website that is informative to doctors and parents who want the answers I was seeking."
The International Hip Dysplasia Institute was born. An effort to improve the health and quality of life for those afflicted with hip dysplasia through research and education. Sponsored by Dan Whitney (Larry the Cable Guy) and his wife, Cara, and the Arnold Palmer Hospital Foundation.
