Samuel A. Joseph, MD, founder of the Joseph Spine Institute in Tampa, has announced the opening of a foundation.
The hope is that the new International Spine Foundation will be able to make advanced spinal treatments and procedures more readily available for everyone. The mission of his original foundation is to provide patients with state of the art spine care.
Since the creation of his practice five years ago, Dr. Joseph has not only accomplished innovative spine treatment and pioneered surgeries, but has performed charitable and philanthropic work.
Through the foundation, Dr. Joseph and his co-founders Elizabeth Joseph and Uhuru Smith, MD, are aiming to broaden the impact of lifesaving spinal surgeries more locally, nationally and internationally.
The Make a Wish Foundation is also important to Dr. Joseph, as he is fully supportive of the goal of bettering the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
