NEUROSURGEONS TO ACCEPT AWARD FOR TOP RANKING
We at Healthcare Associates in Medicine, P.C. pride ourselves on the ability to provide some of the best and most comprehensive health care in the United States. We were gratified to receive recognition of this when our neurosurgery department was listed in the top one-percent of hospitals nationwide for Neurology and Neurosurgery by U.S. News and World Report this past summer. All three of HCA's neurosurgeons, Dr. Edwin M. Chang, Dr. John S. Shiau and Dr. Anthony J.G. Alastra currently have appointments at SIUH. In addition, Dr. Chang is the chief of Neurological Surgery for the hospital. This prestigious acknowledgement will be celebrated on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at the Vanderbilt in Staten Island, New York when all three neurosurgeons receive awards for their services to the patients of the community. "We are happy to see that our doctors are receiving the recognition that they deserve," said HCA CEO Paul I. Berkley. "This listing proves what the patients in our community already know: our neurosurgeons are three of the best in the country."
