"They've been working really hard, the nursing administration, especially the nurses, to get ready for this. That's a level of caring and interest and energy that I definitely have not seen anywhere else," said Dr. Theodore Spinks, chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida.
Combining dedication and expertise, Golisano Children's Hospital has partnered with Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital to provide a new service to families in Southwest Florida. "We identified probably over a year ago that there was a need in our community for neurosurgery to come to Golisano," said Lisa Dorcey, nursing director at Golisano Pediatric ICU.
Previously, children suffering from brain and spinal cord pathologies were either managed remotely by Johns Hopkins faculty or transferred to St. Petersburg for care. "It always kind of pains you to know that there's a patient that's being sent out. So being able to keep those patients close to home, those families together, and offer a service that the community really needs is really meaningful for us," said Dorcey.
Dr. Theodore Spinks transferred to Golisano from Johns Hopkins to work closely with the team. "It's a change that I think has been long overdue."
