Sovah Health and Spectrum Medical jointly announced today the health system will be acquiring the specialty group effective July 1. As part of the transition, Spectrum’s providers and staff will join Sovah’s medical group Sovah Physician Practices, and the practice will be rebranded as Sovah Orthopedics & Sports Medicine.
Established in 1948 as Danville Orthopedic Clinic, Spectrum Medical has a longstanding history of excellence in providing high-quality musculoskeletal care to patients across southern Virginia and northern North Carolina. Spectrum’s providers specialize in general orthopedics, sports medicine, joint replacement and spine surgery and physical therapy and provide an array of services to treat everything from musculoskeletal pain and injuries to complex fractures, spinal issues and pain management needs.
“Sovah Health is proud to welcome Spectrum Medical to our growing network of specialty providers,” said Steve Heatherly, Market President & CEO of Sovah Health. “Spectrum is a leading provider of musculoskeletal services, and this change will enable both our organizations to leverage our strengths and resources to expand services, recruit new providers and better serve patients across our region. Spectrum is a leading provider of musculoskeletal services, and we look forward to building upon their incredible foundation to advance our mission of making communities healthier and meet the evolving needs of patients across our region.”
Following the addition of Spectrum, Sovah Physician Practices will include more than 70 primary and specialty providers and 20 practice locations across Danville, Martinsville and the surrounding region. Its specialties include family medicine and pediatrics, gastroenterology, heart and vascular, general surgery, orthopedics, pain management, pulmonology, sleep medicine and urology.
“As healthcare continues to evolve, joining Sovah’s medical group ensures that our team can continue our legacy of providing high-quality musculoskeletal services for patients across our region,” said Mark Hermann, MD, orthopedic surgeon at Spectrum Medical. “We look forward to this new chapter as Sovah Orthopedics & Sports Medicine.”
