“Mercy Health and Cincinnati SportsMedicine & Orthopaedic Center share a similar ethos,” said Dr. Frank Noyes, orthopaedic surgeon and CEO of Cincinnati SportsMedicine & Orthopaedic Center. “We’re both very active in our communities, giving back to our high schools, local sports organizations, professional sports teams and more to help the people we serve. Together, we can leverage our strengths to do even more for the benefit of the Tri-State area.”
