UF Health is always looking for ways to enhance the care we provide to patients and families. As the community grows, so does our health system — not only in square footage and reach, but also through technology and the specialized services we offer.

We currently have more than 30 primary care practices and more than 100 specialty services. This summer, we are proud to add the UF Health Comprehensive Spine Center – North to that list.

Recurring back or neck pain is among the most debilitating conditions a patient can experience and can make it extremely difficult to work or function in daily life. Our multidisciplinary spine care team will be a valuable resource for patients and referring physicians.

The new center is located at UF Health North on the sixth floor of the medical office building. If surgery is necessary, the high-quality care and resources patients have come to expect at the north campus are just an elevator ride away. The hospital’s state-of-the-art surgical center is home to some of the most clinically advanced surgeons and latest technology in the region. In addition, there are 72 medical and surgical rooms that can accommodate patients who may need to undergo inpatient procedures.

Patient safety and quality continues to be our top priority. Our administrators and medical staff are always implementing best practices to ensure patients receive the best care and experience. It is because of this ongoing effort and vigilance that newborns admitted into our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit have been able to go home on average about a week sooner than expected.

These are just two examples of how our teamwork and specialized expertise positively impact patients’ lives, making us “the region’s most valued health care asset.”

Sincerely,

Leon L. Haley Jr., MD, MHSA, CPE, FACEP
