Parkland opened a new 56-bed unit today in what was previously unfinished space.
This opening, along with another new unit that opened in June, brings Parkland Memorial Hospital to more than 980 licensed beds — expanding our capacity to care for patients across Dallas County.

Excited for the launch of the Hepatic Artery Infusion Pump (HAIP) Program at UF Health! 🎉 A true multidisciplinary effort made possible by an incredible team. Grateful to have the best partner, Dr. Underwood, and an outstanding medical oncologist, Dr. Balasubramanian !
UF Health has launched a hepatic artery infusion pump program, one of only a few centers in the state to offer the specialized treatment. “This program expands the treatment options available to patients with complex cancers at UF Health and allows us to offer a therapy that was previously unavailable at our institution,” said Ibrahim Nassour, M.D.

Today in the lab… AI as a wet-lab tool
AI is widely discussed in dry lab and analysis/coding. As a surgical resident who stepped into a busy basic science lab, I’ve found a useful, less-discussed role: learning and troubleshooting at the bench

Timely as September is Desmoid Tumor Awareness Month!
Management of this disease has evolved significantly in recent years- if you’ve been diagnosed with a desmoid tumor, it is important to have a care team familiar with current treatment paradigms.
