Advocating for the practice of neurosurgery in California to benefit our patients and profession
A Message From
CANS President
June 1, 2020
Recent events across the country have significantly impacted us all, particularly California Neurological Surgeons who are members of Black and Brown communities.
CANS stands in solidarity against racism, violence, and intolerance.
Our mission is to serve all with skill and fidelity, and that extends beyond the operating room. Racism, brutal attacks, and subsequent violence must end. We will help any injured, and we will use our voice in support of the health and safety of every person.
Sincerely,
Mark E. Linskey, MD

We survey neurosurgery ER coverage data in California to ensure fair reimbursement and continue work to defend MICRA.
