Team Philosophy
We are all part of the same team with the same goals. We all have a different role, but we are here to make sure our Associates can give the very best care to our patients, while doing that under the very best working conditions.

What Joe likes most about his specialty area:
The caregivers on Surgical Specialties have an incredible mix of expertise and caring that truly fits our patient population needs. We care for a patient population whose chronic medical conditions play a big part in their recovery from an acute surgical condition. Our team balances the long term treatment of those chronic conditions with the quickly changing acute surgical problems.
