record number of spine surgeries and remodeled the children’s ward.

During the trip, a total of 16 life-changing surgeries were supported by Anton Thompkins, M.D., Justin Bundy, M.D., and Thomas Lee, M.D. In addition to changing lives, Dr. Lee’s family renovated three rooms in the children’s ward, a project funded by NuVasive® Shareowner-driven events.

The children’s ward was revived with a fresh coat of paint and updated with wall decals. Hospital staff was amazed by the quick transformation and formally dedicated the remodeled ward to the NSF as a token of their appreciation.
