August marks Neurosurgery Awareness Month and INTEGRIS Health is proud to join health care institutions across the nation in recognizing the vital work of neurosurgeons and the importance of brain, spine and nervous system health.
Established by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), Neurosurgery Awareness Month aims to educate the public about neurological conditions, highlight groundbreaking advancements in neurosurgical care and celebrate the teams who provide life-saving treatment every day.
“Neurosurgery is one of the most complex and critical specialties in medicine,” said Caple A. Spence, M.D., MBA, board-certified neurosurgeon with INTEGRIS Health Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City. “During this month, we not only celebrate our team’s expertise and dedication but also focus on educating our community about the warning signs of neurological disorders and the importance of early diagnosis.”
Each year, neurosurgeons at INTEGRIS Health treat hundreds of patients with conditions such as brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, aneurysms, epilepsy and stroke. With the support of state-of-the-art technology and a multidisciplinary team, the neurosurgery department provides both surgical and non-surgical treatment options tailored to each patient’s needs.
Educating the community about neurological disorders and their early detection can save lives. “Our goal is to empower patients and families with information that could save lives,” added Spence. “Awareness leads to action and action leads to better outcomes.”
