CHI Saint Joseph Health in Lexington, Ky., has welcomed three orthopedic specialists, including spine surgeon Vincent DePalma, DO, The Sentinel Echo reported March 13.
Dr. DePalma recently completed a fellowship in spine surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. He specializes in the treatment of degenerative disc disease, spinal deformities, herniated discs and myelopathy, among other conditions.
The other two physicians are Kevin Magone, MD, a sports medicine specialist, and general orthopedic surgeon Adam Franson, DO.
"We needed to broaden the scope of services and that would allow us to keep more patients locally and create more access to that six, seven county area that we serve," John Yanes, CEO of the hospital, told the Echo. "This has increased the level of care in the community."
