Hutchinson Regional Medical Center’s First Course speaker in April is Dr. James Lairmore, M.D., a Hutchinson Clinic orthopedic surgeon.

On Tuesday, April 17, 2012, he’ll address causes of joint pain and how to treat them. Opportunities to ask Dr. Lairmore questions will follow.

First Course presentations begin at 5:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month. Held in the Pavilion (former Horizons Building) on the Hutchinson Regional campus, each is free, open to the public, and do not require advance reservations. Doors open at 4:45 p.m. and light hors d’oeuvres begin at 5 p.m.
