SAN DIEGO, Oct. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- NuVasive, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NUVA), a leading medical device company focused on
transforming spine surgery with minimally disruptive,
procedurally-integrated solutions, is hosting the 2nd
Annual Spine Summit in San Diego
on October 4 – 6, 2017. This unique
educational event brings together hospital executives, healthcare
leaders, industry visionaries and surgeons to discuss the future of
spine care and build out solutions to deliver high-quality care for
patients. The opening keynote address features newly named NuVasive
spokesman Archie Manning.
The Spine Summit features interactive sessions on topics that
include employer-payer collaboration, service line partnerships for
spine, healthcare policy, and the clinical and economic value of
spine diagnostics. Speakers include industry leaders from health
systems, ambulatory surgical centers and clinics around the
country, and government policy experts from Washington D.C. These experts come from some
of the leading healthcare organizations including United
Healthcare, Aon Hewitt, Virginia
Mason Medical Center and The CORE Institute.
"As the largest pure play spine technology company in the world
and developer of market-leading innovation, no one is better
positioned to bring together industry leaders to shape and improve
the future of spine," said Gregory T.
Lucier, chairman and chief executive officer of NuVasive.
"Our goal in hosting the Spine Summit is to create the leading
platform for discussion and collaboration between those who can
better capture and measure outcomes while reducing healthcare costs
to influence improvements in overall spine care."
In addition to facilitating dialog among key spine industry
influencers, NuVasive is honored that Manning will share his
personal story on how the company's innovative spine procedure
changed his life. Manning, a College Football Hall of Fame
inductee, National Football League (NFL) inductee and former NFL
Pro Bowl quarterback, suffered severe nerve compression caused by
two collapsed discs on the left side in his lumbar spine. His
surgeon, James Woodall Jr., MD,
Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center, determined that
the NuVasive XLIF® procedure was the optimal solution to restore
height and stability to the collapsed disc space. XLIF is the
leading lateral spine procedure, supported by over 10 years of
clinical evidence.
Basketball legend and NuVasive ambassador Bill Walton will close the Spine Summit by
sharing his story about how the company's XLIF procedure relieved
him from life-threatening back pain.
