By Dr. Gilbert Drozdow, M.D.
I am pleased to announce that Sheridan Anesthesia Services of Virginia, Inc. has begun anesthesiology services effective May 24, 2010 at Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Department of Anesthesiology will utilize a team of 6 physicians and 2 CRNAs to provide anesthesia coverage in approximately 4 operating rooms, GI endoscopy and the labor and delivery suite.
This state of the art, newly constructed HCA hospital has over 125 private beds and sits on a 75 acre campus in one of the fastest growing counties in Virginia. Sheridan's affiliated companies ("Sheridan") are also providing emergency medical and radiology services at the hospital under the leadership of Dr. Travis Jasper, Chief of the Department of Emergency Medicine; and, Dr. Daniel Radack, Chief of the Department of Radiology. Sheridan is also providing new born hearing services and will participate in the development and eventual operation of a neonatal intensive care unit.
I am pleased to announce Dr. Sam Afash as the Chief of the Department of Anesthesiology. Dr. Afash completed his residency in anesthesiology as well as a fellowship in obstetrical anesthesiology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. He entered private practice in 2003 at St. Francis Hospital in Wilmington, DE where he served as the subsection head of obstetrical anesthesiology services.
I would also like to welcome the following new members of the anesthesia care team to our group:
Dr. Steven Godfrey
Dr. Philip Strapp
Dr. Eric Miano
Dr. Jay Hacking
Dr. Bobby Shelton II
CRNA Andrew Madden
CRNA Carmela Robinson
Dr. Carey Weiss was the lead member of Sheridan's anesthesiology clinical start up team providing extensive clinical and managerial leadership to facilitate this complex start up of anesthesiology, surgical and obstetrical services.
On behalf of the Company, I want to thank all the administrative and operational Sheridan employees who worked day and night in support of this project. The official opening of the hospital in June will represent the culmination of one and a half years of work and investment by numerous people. Your efforts are both recognized and commended.
