HALL OF FAME HEALTH EXPANDS SPINE ELITE CARE CENTER NETWORK

FIVE LEADING INSTITUTIONS JOIN NATIONWIDE SPINE CARE INITIATIVE

Scottsdale, AZ. (July 15, 2026) Hall of Fame Health, a healthcare concierge and care coordinator formed in partnership with the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020, today announces the expansion of its Spine Elite Care Center Network with the addition of five distinguished medical institutions. The new designees join The Carrell Clinic in Dallas, which was announced as the inaugural Spine Elite Care Center in January 2024, alongside the formation of the Hall of Fame Health Spine Advisory Board.

The expanded network reflects Hall of Fame Health’s mission to connect former professional athletes, combat veterans, and the organizations that serve them with the country’s most accomplished spine specialists. Each new center was selected based on clinical outcomes, patient experience, and institutional leadership in spine care.

“The Spine Advisory Board was assembled with network-building in mind, and today’s announcement is the direct result of that work,” said Jeremy Hogue, President and CEO of Hall of Fame Health. “Each of these centers represents the standard of care we’ve committed to delivering for our community. We are proud to have them in the network and look forward to continuing to grow.”

The Hall of Fame Health Spine Elite Care Centers are:

Barrow Neurological Institute – Phoenix

Represented by Dr. Fred Marciano

Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates – Charlotte, N.C.

Represented by Dr. Paul Kim

The Carrell Clinic – Dallas

Represented by Dr. Drew Dossett and Dr. Will Hotchkiss

Cedars-Sinai Spine Center – Los Angeles

Represented by Dr. J. Patrick Johnson

Florida Orthopaedic Institute – Tampa, Fla.

Represented by Dr. John Small

NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center – New York

Represented by Dr. Ron Lehman Jr.

Hall of Fame Health has partnered with Medtronic, a global leader in neurosurgical and spinal technology, to support the development and expansion of the Spine Elite Care Center Network. Medtronic’s expertise and deep connections within the spine care community have helped inform the selection process, though whether a center uses Medtronic technology had no bearing on the designation. Facilities cannot buy their way onto this list.

The Spine Elite Care Center Network is overseen by the Hall of Fame Health Spine Advisory Board and its chairman, Dr. Drew Dossett, which was established to guide the development and credentialing of designated centers nationwide. The network is designed to eventually comprise eight specialized centers dedicated to the treatment of back and neck pain, spinal conditions, and neurological disorders.
