March 22, 2019. Wabash General Hospital’s President & CEO Karissa Turner is delighted to announce, “We have found a partner that is committed to providing high-quality pain management to our community starting in May 2019. We identified the need to add pain management services after we realized many residents were traveling out of town for services. Commonwealth Pain & Spine was chosen due to our mutual values of serving our patients with compassion and respect. Their values represent whatwe are looking for in a partner. Commonwealth is dedicated to delivering the best care with highly trained professionals. This is one more example of how WGH is committed to bringing more services to our community to increase access to quality care in our area.”
