Smithtown, NY — John J. Rush, MD, MBA, MHA, is being
recognized by Continental Who’s Who as a Distinguished
Healthcare Professional in the Medical field and in acknowledgment of his
work with Arthritis Knee Pain Centers.
Well-established as a physician and entrepreneur, Dr. Rush
is the owner, CEO, and Chief Medical Officer of Arthritis Knee Pain Centers
(AKPC), a nationwide network of medical practices focused on advanced therapies
to treat osteoarthritis of the knee. The practices offer state-of-the-art digital
imaging to precision-guide knee joint injections of a visco-supplement. This
FDA-approved injection of “visco” cushioning gels provides pain relief and
improves mobility for patients without the use of opioids or surgery. The
practices also offer knee bracing and lifestyle counseling.
Arthritis Knee Pain Centers have locations in New York, New
Jersey, Kentucky, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Arizona. In
addition, Dr. Rush plans on opening three new medical practice locations in
Georgia in the cities of Marietta, Alpharetta, and Lilburn.
As part of his work, Dr. Rush provides training to new AKPC
physicians and covers clinically, when needed. He and his team of highly
trained medical professionals are committed to providing the highest quality of
care to their patients and making them feel welcome and cared for during their
treatments. He states, “I am honored to be part of the hard-working Arthritis
Knee Pain Centers family. People all over the country look to us to relieve
them of the debilitating pain caused by osteoarthritis.”
In pursuit of his higher education, Dr. Rush first obtained
a Bachelor of Science degree in Integrated Life Sciences from Kent State
University. He went on to earn his Medical Degree from the Northeast Ohio Medical
University and completed his Emergency Medicine Residency at Loma Linda Medical
Center. Dr. Rush additionally holds Master of Business Administration and
Master of Health Administration degrees; both received from Pfeiffer University
in Charlotte, NC.
Dr. Rush has also formed the Arthritis Knee Center Political
Action Committee. The AKPC PAC contributes to legislators on both sides of the
aisle to raise awareness and seek legislative support of cost-effective pain
relief treatment protocols for osteoarthritis.
Dr. Rush’s latest venture is the Arthritis Knee Pain Centers
Foundation, an idea that sprang from AKPC employees. The Foundation’s mission
is to give back to the communities served by Arthritis Knee Pain Centers. The
Foundation raised $200,000 in its first year, 2020. The Foundation has
contributed to YMCAs and food banks in all the communities served by AKPC. The
Foundation also recently gave a $25,000 minority scholarship award to Dr.
Rush’s alma mater, Northeast Ohio Medical University. AKPC employees want to
give back and believe that business can be a positive force for the social
change that is needed in the country.
