The Compass Wellness Alliance or CWA has been founded to provide assistance to patients in need of medical or surgical care and guide the population towards a healthier lifestyle. Compass Wellness Alliance seeks to provide education to the general public regarding wellness, health and fitness, while being dedicated to educating the general public for community impact. We also strive to advance, foster and promote the knowledge, scientific research and education in minimally invasive spine for the benefit of patients, medical professionals and the public. We seek to provide a wide variety of free medical assistance (ie, spine surgery and donated screwless implants) while supporting preventative medicine to those in need on a global basis. We endeavor to establish a nexus where doctors and surgeons ‘physicians’ come together to develop better, less intrusive healthcare procedures... and a platform for a society to collaborate, making in changing the complex, simple. The Compass Wellness Alliance mission is to promote advancement in disruptive minimally invasive spine surgery treatments and techniques through collaboration, research and education, and the promotion of new techniques and ideas, while shaping a better future for spine patients, physicians, and hospitals nationally and internationally. SLIF Society will provide interdisciplinary meetings to present, discuss and disseminate research, focusing on clinical and translational research, peer-to-peer education, and advocacy initiatives.
