As COVID-19 began rocking the planet, Jonathan Loteck’s world was being shaken by news unrelated to the novel coronavirus. Jonathan was diagnosed with cancer, and then a second serious medical condition. The 27-year-old metal fabricator from Millville would need two surgeries and chemotherapy to eradicate the cancer.

In the last two decades, minimally invasive surgery has emerged as a popular surgical treatment option because it offers faster recovery times and smaller incisions.

Inspira Health is committed to expanding its minimally invasive capabilities not only to better assess and treat patients, but to change the perception around post-operative recovery.
