Floyd Center for Advanced Spine Care opens at FMC
The new 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.
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.

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.
