The Hackett Hemwall Foundation
2532 Balden Street,
Madison, WI 53705 USA
www.HackettHemwall.org
In 1969, Dr. Gus Hemwall, a surgeon in private practice
in Chicago, established a foundation dedicated to providing
medical care to needy people around the world. He named the
foundation after his mentor, Dr. George Hackett, who was
a pioneer in the area of Prolotherapy and one of the first
physicians to perform the treatment in the United States.
Prolotherapy is often considered a new therapy, but documentation
shows that a very similar therapy was performed as early
as 400 BC. Although initially known as the Hackett Foundation,
the organization was eventually renamed in honor of Dr. Hemwall
and his wife, Helen, who dedicated their lives to helping
others in many ways. Their lives serve as models for those
of us who follow in their footsteps. With its many classes,
conferences, and clinical experiences, the foundation provides
medical professionals with an opportunity to further their
training and education. Another objective of the Hackett
Hemwall Foundation involves research concerning the effectiveness
of certain medical procedures such as Prolotherapy, which
is used as a treatment for chronic pain, and vein sclerosing,
which is used to help patients with varicose veins. Jeffrey
J. Patterson, DO, professor at the University of Wisconsin
School of Medicine and Public Health, Department of Family
Medicine, is the foundation’s director. Together, the members
of the Hackett Hemwall Foundation dedicate their time and
services to provide high-quality medical treatment to people
around the world who are otherwise unable to afford medical
care. Since the foundation’s beginning, each year, the director
has organized a trip to a third world country.
