💙 Meet Jerry Novak — A True Inspiration! 💙

After nearly 50 years of serving his country as a Marine and his community as a police officer and bailiff, Jerry wasn’t ready to slow down. Unfortunately, knee pain was making it harder to stay active and do the work he loves.

Thanks to Dr. Brad S. Cohen and the amazing team at Poway Surgery Center, Jerry had successful joint replacement surgery on both knees. Now he’s back on his feet and doing what he loves most!

We’re so proud to be part of Jerry’s journey and grateful for the care teams who help patients like him get back to living life to the fullest. 🙌

Way to go, Jerry! 💪

🧡 Celebrating 35 years of access, inclusion, and care!

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law 35 years ago, making a powerful promise: equal access to the spaces, services and support everyone deserves. This includes outpatient surgical care.

At AMSURG centers across the country, we honor this legacy every day by ensuring our facilities are welcoming, accessible and designed with every patient in mind. To us, Care Deeply means always putting people first.

05/26/2025

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage and dedication allow us to live with freedom and peace.

At , we are grateful for their legacy and are thinking of the families and loved ones they left behind. We join our community in reflecting on their sacrifice and the values they fought to protect.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
