Growing up and discovering who you are is challenging enough as it is, but imagine finding your way in times that everyone around you calls “unprecedented.” That can’t be easy, and I feel hope and admiration whenever I see great focus and determination in any young person today. Kate Barber certainly fits that bill. An eighth-grader who fell in love with golf at age 6, Barber has already competed against junior golfers from around the world and even sunk putts in Augusta just before the 2019 Masters. Learn how far she plans to take her dream and why she likes the pressure in this issue.
Speaking of finding your way, robotics in healthcare continues to evolve, helping physicians move forward in ways that even they didn’t think possible years ago. Such is the case with the new Monarch Platform, a technology that integrates robotics and advanced visualization with bronchoscopy. This allows physicians to go further into the lungs to find masses and confirm a cancer diagnosis.
