360 Orthopedics, an orthopedic practice based in the Sarasota-Manatee region of Florida, has been named one of the state's first Workers' Compensation Centers of Excellence, the practice announced Wednesday. The designation reflects the group's performance across several benchmarks tied specifically to injured-worker care.
