POTSDAM, NY – Licensed Physician Assistant Janice Shea has joined the General Surgery team at Canton-Potsdam Hospital (CPH), 50 Leroy Street, Potsdam.

PA Shea earned her degree in Medical Science from Alderson-Broaddus College, Phillipi, WV. She comes to CPH with extensive experience in assisting with robotic surgery, along with colorectal, orthopedic, urological and OB-GYN, and vascular surgeries. Most recently she was the Head Surgical Physician Assistant where she had been hired for the expansion of the hospital’s Robotic Surgery program.

“I have a comprehensive background in robotics, and I believe my skill set will benefit the people of the North Country. With the impending implementation of robotic surgery at Canton-Potsdam Hospital, community members can avoid the need to travel to larger medical facilities for such procedures,” PA Shea said.
