  • 🌸 Exciting Developments in Breast Cancer Treatment! 🌸 Dr. Richard Fine, one of our exceptional breast surgeons, is actively involved in groundbreaking research shaping the future of #breastcancer care. An FDA panel has endorsed the use of the ProSense #cryoablation system as a ✨ less-invasive alternative to surgery✨ for some early-stage, low-risk breast cancer patients. This technology uses extreme cold to destroy tumors, offering hope for patients seeking effective and less-invasive treatment options. While some questions still remain regarding recurrence rates and patient eligibility, Dr. Fine and his colleagues are committed to ensuring thorough research and informed decisions for our patients.

  • 🌎 Making a Difference from Memphis to Cuba 🌎 Dr. Michael Berry of our Margaret West Comprehensive Breast Center recently teamed up with Dr. Steven Cai for an incredible trip to Cuba! Together, they donated 2 ultrasound machines and taught 40 Cuban physicians how to perform breast ultrasounds, working closely with translators to make it happen. While teaching the course, they also identified several cases of breast tumors and were able to help facilitate next steps for patient care. This donation has doubled the number of ultrasound machines available at this 500-bed hospital, providing critical support for patient care. A huge thank you to our CEO, Mitch Graves, and Director of our Margaret West Comprehensive Breast Center - Breast Surgeon, Dr. Richard Fine, for their generosity in making these life-changing contributions possible.

    As the UK tech ambassador for ABHI, it was a pleasure to meet Mayor Paul Young of Memphis during our visit to Tennessee and hearing his vision. Memphis is one of the most diverse populations across the US with a population of around 600 000. There are a number of interesting facts. 🔸 It is the home of FedEx and the worlds second busiest cargo airport in the world. A mindblowing fact that I was unaware of is that, if a hospital within the 50 states needs a medical device, and orders by 2am, Fedex will deliver by 10am the same day. 🔸 Elon Musk has built the world largest supercomputer in Memphis called Collosus. This data center will supply the compute power for Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI. 🔸 Oracle will be moving its global headquarters to Memphis in 2026. 🔸 Ford Motor Company is also building a factory in Blue Oval City, a $6 billion, six-square-mile electric vehicle and battery manufacturing campus its largest-ever undertaking. We were fortunate to visit the Regional One Health and Le Bonheur Children's Hospital and also meet the team from the Memphis Chamber of Commerce to help with UK companies navigate the US health market. Further visits to The The University of Tennessee Health Science Center and West Cancer Center & Research Institute helped formulate an important network and potential opportunities for British companies. And yes, we even managed to get a visit to Graceland and dinner at BB Kings restaurant which was a fantastic experience. The visit to the National Civil Rights Museum and Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King was shot was an incredible highlight for me.
