Dr. Penny is a children’s orthopaedic surgeon who spent many years of his career operating at a charity hospital in Uganda and providing free orthopaedic care to families from that country. He is a world expert on neglected clubfoot and other conditions that are prevalent where children do not receive timely care. He has done extensive work on community based rehabilitation for people living with musculoskeletal disability. His contributions to surgery and to civil society have earned him an Order of Canada. He exemplifies the spirit of Mercer Rang who encouraged surgeons to think broadly and differently about how they can contribute.
