Dr. Michael Grant
Dr. Grant received his medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, DC and went on to complete his residency at Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center. Additionally, he spent 9 years in a variety of roles for the United States Army; one year of internship, two years as a flight surgeon, and two years as an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Grant is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Dr. Grant’s passion is to provide care for the less fortunate. He became involved with the St. James Orthopaedic Mission, a medical mission group comprised of various medical professionals and other volunteers who typically embark on one medical mission trip per year. The group has been participating in these trips for 10 years. Each volunteer pays his or her own way; air fare, etc. As a non-profit, their only source of income is through fundraisers and donations. St. James Orthopaedic Mission received a $1,500 grant from the Rotary Club of Estes Park.
