Neuro-spine surgery at Wayne Memorial

Wayne Memorial Hospital (WMH) is now offering neuro-spine surgery for the first time in its history, thanks to Philip J. Hlavac, MD, of North East PA Neuro Spine PC. The board certified neurosurgeon performed his first operation at Wayne Memorial on Sept. 23. Wayne Memorial worked efficiently to accommodate Dr. Hlavac and patients in need of his services. Referring to the area’s aging population, WMH’s Chief Executive Officer David Hoff said, “Dr. Philip Hlavac’s services meet a growing need.” Pictured clockwise: Miaya King, Surgical Tech (ST); Shawn Duffy, ST; Carol Hannon, RN; Sandy Flynn, BSN, RN, CNOR, CRNFA; Robin DeLorenzo, RN; and Dr. Philip Hlavac.
