Being a Lead PPN with @surgical_health has been so rewarding and illuminating not just because of the relationships we build with our patients but also for the privilege of working with the amazing volunteers (PPNs) and team at CSH. @PennMedicine pennmedicine.org/news/public…

None of this would’ve been possible without the support of our tremendous sponsors from both @PennMedicine & CHOP, including @UPennCGH, @pennsurgery, Penn OB/GYN, PSOM, Penn ENT, CHOP Plastics and the CHOP Global Health Center.

Truly spectacular talk by Dr. Gonález Martínez. I was completely in awe by his rigorous scientific approach to every single one of his patients and the eloquence by which he communicated his work. An absolute pleasure to experience.
We had a packed house this morning at our #Neurosurgery Grand Rounds! Dr. Jorge Gonález Martínez of @PittNeurosurg gave an excellent presentation covering anatomo-functional concepts in stereotaxic #epilepsy surgery.
