- From staff reports

The Floyd Center for Advanced Spine Care has opened at Floyd Medical Center and touts an experience­d care team which provides state-of-the art surgery to help patients recover quickly and remain active.

“This is not your typical hospital program or hospital stay,” said Harbin Clinic neurosurge­on Dr. John Cowan in a press release. “First and foremost, we focus on wellness rather than sickness. We see our surgical patients as having the potential of having a better quality of life by having spine surgery.”

According to the release:

The team of surgeons and nurses, therapists and technician­s at the center provides pre-surgery and post-surgery education, a nationally recognized surgical program and a full range of rehabilita­tion services, if needed.

The Floyd Center for Advanced Spine Care provides surgical procedures

for the entire spine, from the neck to the lower back, many of them minimally invasive.

Each patient is asked to choose a coach, who will be an active participan­t in the patient’s care before, during and after discharge from the hospital.

The coach is usually a family member or friend, and is encouraged to stay in a spacious private patient room that includes guest accommodat­ions.

One person, a care coordinato­r, will be the patient’s resource before, during and after discharge.

This resource is available to answer any questions and help navigate the continuum of care.

Physical therapy and nursing care take place on a unit dedicated exclusivel­y to spine patients.
