Virtua is First in Philly/South Jersey Area to use Innovative ‘Safe Zone’ Technology for Robotic Spine Surgery

Spine surgery is among the newest procedures to advance robotically.
 
Virtua is one of the first to offer it – and the only one regionally to provide a unique,
GPS-like navigation system that improves safety and accuracy.

(MARLTON, N.J., January 21, 2026) Virtua Health, southern New Jersey’s largest health system, has achieved another milestone in its robotic-surgery leadership. The Marlton, N.J.-based organization is the first in the Philadelphia region and South Jersey to provide robotic-assisted spine surgery combined with a GPS-like navigation system that enhances safety and enables better outcomes.  

The navigation software, called Spine Guidance by Stryker, enables surgeons to create “safe zones” where the surgical tools can be blocked from entering, minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding structures.

“It’s the only software on the market that allows us to set up safe zones, which enables us to relieve pressure on compressed nerves more safely and efficiently,” said Dr. James Sanfilippo, vice president of clinical operations for musculoskeletal services at Virtua Health.

Rep. Van Drew Delivers New VA Clinic for South Jersey Veterans

Staying true to one of my commitments for the new year, I am proud to say we have officially opened the new, expanded VA clinic in Northfield. This clinic will serve veterans across South Jersey and the greater region, and it is something I have been fighting for, for a long time.

This effort goes all the way back to 2019, during my first term in Congress. When we learned the lease for the old clinic was set to expire, I knew we could not risk any interruption in care for our veterans. Instead of just replacing what we had, I pushed to turn this into an opportunity to do more. Too many veterans were being forced to travel to Pennsylvania or Delaware for basic care, which is not right.

UFCW Applauds New Jersey’s Historic Labor Protections for Cannabis Cultivation Workers

UFCW Locals’ Cannabis Worker Advocacy Instrumental in Making New Protections Law

The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW), which represents 1.2 million essential workers across North America, including thousands of workers in the cannabis industry, released a statement in response to New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signing legislation that establishes new labor protections for cannabis cultivation workers.

UFCW Local 152 President Daniel Ross Jr. said:

“Today’s signing is a victory for all working people in New Jersey. Cannabis cultivation workers were building a new industry without labor protections many take for granted. Local 152 made it clear to lawmakers that fairness should not be avoided, and Governor Murphy’s signature ensures these workers now have the rights, dignity, and legal clarity they deserve.

“This law should be viewed as a significant step forward for other groups of workers in New Jersey who are not fully protected under federal labor laws. It is my hope that this legislation serves as a springboard for further conversations about addressing gaps in worker protections that still exist in our state.”
