Neurosurgical Spine Program

Shore Memorial’s Lumbar and Cervical Spine Surgery programs have received the Gold Seal of Approval™ for healthcare quality by The Joint Commission. Shore Memorial was the third hospital in the country to receive this certification.

To earn this distinction, a disease management program undergoes an extensive, on-site evaluation by a team of Joint Commission reviewers every two years. The program is evaluated against Joint Commission standards through an assessment of a program’s processes, the program’s ability to evaluate and improve care within its own organization, and interviews with patients and staff. Shore Memorial's Neurosurgical Spine Program provides a multi-disciplinary approach to the diagnosis, treatment and care of spinal disorders. The program coordinates an exceptional team of specialists from the departments of neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, rehabilitation medicine, neurology, anesthesia and prosthetics.

Board certified physicians and specially trained nurses work collaboratively and seamlessly with psychologists, physical and occupational therapists, social workers and other affiliated healthcare professionals to deliver exceptional neurological care.
