“After our first presentation by Spine Care Partners, I knew we had the right team to assist us with our spine and back care program. Tom Neuner and John Ventura are population health management visionaries. They have come up with an innovative program and hit the “Grand slam” for improving quality and access to care, lower cost and health improvement for our patients. Our experience with Spine Care Partners has been one of the easiest and most satisfying and productive experiences of any vendors or consultants.”

"..this should be a required CME for all primary care providers"
“The training presented by the [Spine Care Partners] was absolutely outstanding! As primary care providers are on the front lines, our knowledge can influence downstream chronicity of pain and decrease unnecessary costs, and it is up to us to rise to the occasion of this chronic pain crisis we face. This CME helps bridge the gap and helps prepare primary care providers for our current pain management crisis by equipping us with the tools and strategies to make an integrative management plan which encourages self-care at the outset.”
