South West Florida residents can now look forward to improved healthcare services by establishing a new in-patient and outpatient center for orthopedic surgery. NCH, a reputed healthcare provider in the region, has collaborated with Dr. David Helfet of the highly acclaimed Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) to bring this state-of-the-art facility to the community. Thanks to this development, patients can expect access to timely medical care to enhance their quality of life. Dr. Helfet’s vast knowledge and experience in his field will be instrumental in ensuring patients receive quality treatment and care. The new facility will significantly promote orthopedic health in the region and beyond.
Dr. Helfet is a world-renowned trauma surgeon known for his expertise in sports injuries, traumatic injuries, and surgeries for those wounded in war. With over 30 years of experience in his field, he is the perfect candidate to lead this new orthopedic center. As Jon Kling, Chief Operating Officer at NCH, points out, quality of care means better patient results. With Dr. Helfet leading the way, patients in South West Florida can expect to receive top-notch treatment.
His focus on minimally invasive procedures sets Dr. Helfet apart from other orthopedic surgeons. As we move towards the future of healthcare, procedures that can be done without large incisions or lengthy hospital stays are key. Dr. Helfet’s expertise in this area means he is well-positioned to lead the development of new techniques that can change how we approach orthopedic care. Patients can now go in for a total knee replacement with a minimally invasive scope and instruments and go home that same day, walking.
One of the most significant benefits of this new facility is that it will be accessible to patients in the region. Typically, those seeking specialty care must travel long distances to receive treatment, but this new center makes care available locally. As Dr. Helfet put it, “Having an orthopedic center in Naples means the community can access our surgical experts here rather than traveling outside the region to access care.”
Another exciting aspect of the new orthopedic center is that it will hire a dozen surgeons by 2025. This means that patients in South West Florida will have access to a team of professionals who are experts in their respective fields. With the best talent available in the region, we can expect to see advancements in orthopedic care that will benefit everyone.
The groundbreaking of the new orthopedic center represents a significant advancement in healthcare in South West Florida. With Dr. David Helfet of HSS leading the way and the accessibility this new center provides, patients can now receive top-quality care locally. The focus on minimally invasive procedures and the plan to hire a team of talented orthopedic professionals mean we can expect to see advancements in orthopedic care that will benefit us all. NCH is excited to bring this new facility to the community, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds.
