This was a hospital and doctor effort to improve the care of spine patients through the establishment of a team approach to care. There is a dedicated spine unit with a dedicated nursing staff. It is an ongoing patient-centered process that is evaluated and re-certified every 2 years by JCAHO. This ongoing process ensures that our patients continue to receive the best care possible.
