Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), a world leader in orthopedics, rheumatology and rehabilitation, announced the establishment of HSS Spine & Sport in Jupiter, Florida. This first HSS expansion beyond the New York region is a direct response to patient and physician demand.
"Florida was a logical choice," said Louis A. Shapiro, president and CEO of Hospital for Special Surgery. "As the number of patients who travel to New York from Florida for specialty care at HSS or split their time between homes in both regions continues to increase, HSS Spine and Sport is an ideal location for their outpatient rehabilitation."
"Our top priority is to provide all patients and their families who come in contact with the Rehabilitation Services at HSS with the highest quality of customer service and patient care," said JeMe Cioppa-Mosca, PT, MBA, vice president rehabilitation at HSS. "With HSS Spine and Sport, now local patients can be assured they will receive a seamless continuum of care."
HSS Spine and Sport, which specializes in non-operative and postsurgical care, offers the best professionals in the fields of spine, orthopedics and sports rehabilitation, massage therapy and performance training.
"We are proud to bring the world class care provided by Hospital for Special Surgery to the West Palm Beach Florida region," said Michael L. Reed, DPT, MSc, OCS, MTC, director of HSS Spine & Sport. "Our multidisciplinary team of physical therapists provide permanent Florida residents and those who come to spend the winter months access to the latest and most advanced approaches to return to and maintain an active life."
