Laser Spine Institute Recognized Among the 2010 Top Workplaces in Tampa Bay

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- As the leader in groundbreaking spinal care, Laser Spine Institute (LSI) proudly announces their inclusion by the St. Petersburg Times as a Top Workplace in the Tampa Bay area. The honor recognizes LSI's innovation in minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery, as well as its dedication in crafting a work environment that values compassionate leadership.

The company's CEO Bill Horne understands first-hand the emotional and physical affects of chronic pain. After experiencing severe neck pain for 30 years, Horne received a life-changing surgery in 2004 from LSI co-founder Dr. James St. Louis. Following his surgery, Horne formed a close relationship with Dr. St Louis and his co-founder Dr. Michael Perry and later joined the company as CEO.  Horne describes that, "I truly understand what our patients have gone through and how difficult it was to live life. To date, I can honestly say that being involved in LSI is the most gratifying experience I have ever had. I strive to fulfill our company's mission to help as many people as possible." This ultimate personal connection and strong partnership has led to the development of an institution that serves an increasing number of people while continuing to provide individualized care to each and every patient.

This March marks LSI's 5th anniversary, and the company has grown significantly with seven facilities in four states, including Florida, Pennsylvania, California and Arizona. Stacey Danahy, Laser Spine Institute's director of nursing, explains her pride in LSI's evolution by stating, "As I look back on the past five years, I love the difference we make in people's lives, whether it is surgical, educational, medicinal or personal. I strongly believe in our leaders and surgeons, assisting people who have often tried so many alternatives finally find real relief."
