The Hospital for Special Surgery recently announced the appointment of Frank Schwab, MD, as its new spine service chief. The move will be effective on August 1, according to a hospital press release.

Schwab will succeed Frank Cammisa, MD, as its new chief. Schwab comes to Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) from New York University’s Hospital for Joint Diseases, where he served as chief of spine deformity since 2007.

A California native, Schwab earned his undergraduate degree at Princeton and his medical degree at Columbia University, where he also performed his residency.

“Spine care is a top and growing population health need, and we are committed to providing the very best,” Todd J. Albert, MD, surgeon-in-chief and medical director at Hospital for Special Surgery, said in a press release. “There is no one better than Dr. Schwab to build on the great work of Dr. Frank Cammisa and lead the finest spine team in the world to a new level of excellence in patient care.”
