The most wonderful time of the year is even better when we celebrate with our incredible Semmes Murphey team! 🌟 Our 2024 Holiday Party was a moment to reflect on shared achievements, strengthen connections, and express gratitude for the extraordinary individuals who comprise the Semmes Murphey family. Here’s to another year of dedication, innovation, and compassionate care. 💙

Revolutionizing Brain and Vascular Care Starts Here! 🧠🤩 This year’s NREF conference gave senior residents the opportunity to refine life-saving techniques through hands-on practice with cadaver, animal, and simulator models. From open vascular to endovascular methods, this training is a critical step in preparing fellows to handle complex blood vessel challenges with precision and confidence. Why? Because the more skilled they are, the safer and more effective every procedure becomes. 💙

It was my pleasure to deliver a lecture on Neurosurgical Innovation at Barrow Neurological Institute grand rounds yesterday. I was met at the Phoenix airport by Dr. Brandon Fox, one of the senior neurosurgical residents at BNI. As my topic was innovation, Brandon thought I should experience an AI driving demonstration. Great call, Brandon!
