With this transformative support from @yyc_health we can help patients recover faster after spine surgery and be able to offer ultra-minimally invasive spine surgery options to patients. This investment will lead to better patient care and research in spine surgery!.
Congratulations to Dr. Michael Yang @MichaelYangMD and Dr. Ken Tomas who will be receiving 8.2 million dollars from the Calgary Health Foundation @yyc_health to build a Calgary Endoscopic Spine Surgery Program and an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Program for Spine Surgery! 🙌
