Foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon, Peter G. Mangone, M.D., is the new president of the Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS). The Foundation advances the Society’s mission by funding and promoting education, research, and humanitarian endeavors.
As president, Mangone will oversee the new Text to Give program that will make it easier for AOFAS members to give one-time and recurring donations to the Foundation. Mangone will prioritize working closely with industry partners as well as cultivating new relationships with non-traditional partners as the healthcare landscape continues to evolve. “I hope to increase the overall percentage of AOFAS-member donations to the Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Foundation,” he said. “No amount is too small. The fact is every donation helps the Foundation fulfill its mission to fund education, research, and humanitarian endeavors.”
Mangone earned his medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine and performed his orthopedic residency at Emory University Affiliated Hospitals, now known as Emory Healthcare, in Georgia. He completed his foot and ankle fellowship at the Center for Orthopedic Care in Cincinnati. Mangone is currently a foot and ankle surgeon with EmergeOrtho, Blue Ridge Division, in Asheville, N.C.
Previously, Mangone served on the Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Foundation Board of Directors as president-elect and a member-at-large. In addition, he played an active role in the AOFAS as a member of the Health Policy Committee and chair of the Practice Management Committee.
“I am excited about the opportunity to enhance current relationships with members, develop new fundraising initiatives, and work alongside the devoted Foundation Board of Directors,” Mangone said.
