Tampa, FL  (November 8, 2024) – World Spine Day took place on October 16,  and HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital was thrilled to finally celebrate during the month of November after recent hurricane activity forced postponement.  World Spine Day is the largest public health initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the global burden of spinal pain and disability.

Dr. Samuel A. Joseph, Jr., MD, board-certified spine surgeon, participated in the celebration and praised the multi-faced spine team at South Tampa Hospital.  “I am thrilled to recognize this team and celebrate the achievements of our spine program,” said Dr. Joseph.  “As proof of our program’s unwavering commitment to excellence in spine care, Newsweek Magazine included me on their list of America’s Best Spine Surgeons 2024, a recognition I could not have received without the collaboration and support of the highly-skilled caregivers at South Tampa Hospital.  Together, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of care and advancing the field of spine surgery.”
