Michael Hoke (1874 to 1944) was an American orthopedic surgeon who helped advance the care of disabled children across the United States. He was the son of Confederate-era Major General Robert F. Hoke, grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, and attended the University of North Carolina, where he captained the first great football team of the school in 1892. In his medical career he took part in founding the first Scottish Rite Children's Hospital in Decatur, Georgia, served as one of five orthopedic consultants in the development of the Shriners hospitals for children, and served the Alfred I. DuPont Institute for Crippled Children in Wilmington, Delaware. In 1931 President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed him medical director of the institution for the treatment of infantile paralysis at Warm Springs, Georgia.
