Dr. Sourendra Raut of Resurgens Orthopaedics, the largest orthopaedics practice in Georgia, continued the practice’s commitment to serving others through his charitable work at the recent Our Hearts to Your Soles event.

Dr. Raut—who practices at the Resurgens Cumming office—participated in the annual outreach effort, in which he provided free foot exams to homeless men.

The 2012 Our Hearts to Your Soles event, held at the Central Night Shelter in downtown Atlanta, served more than 65 men. Each man received a foot exam, a new pair of shoes, and new socks.

Dr. Raut enjoyed the chance to give back this holiday season. “There are so many in our city that need a helping hand,” he said. “It’s amazing how something as simple as a new pair of proper-fitting shoes and new socks can drastically increase somebody’s quality of life.”

Nationwide, there are about 50 sites and the program provides shoes to close to 5,000 people each year. Buddy Teaster, CEO of Soles4Souls, said of the upcoming events, “We are looking forward to our seventh year of fitting homeless individuals with footwear and proper foot screenings.”

Dr. Raut is a foot and ankle and sports medicine specialist. He is certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Canadian Orthopaedic Association, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society, and the American Orthopaedic Society of Sports Medicine. He received his medical degree and completed his residency at McGill University Health Center in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
