WELCOME
Dear Friends:
We hope this issue of USA Health Magazine finds you healthy and well.

In this edition, you will meet 11-year-old Carmen Hunter and learn of her extraordinary journey from falling at school to beating a rare childhood cancer to being highlighted by the Children’s Miracle Network. You will see the generational impact of the Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine via legacy families, as well as see where this year’s graduating class will be furthering their training. You will read about how the advanced care and techniques available through USA Health have relieved severe pain experienced by a member of the Coast Guard and gotten him back to his career. And finally, you will understand the extraordinary care delivered to our patients at the Mitchell Cancer Institute and the appreciation our patients have for that care.
You will see how every day, as the only academic health system in the upper Gulf Coast region, USA Health continues its mission to help people lead longer, better lives. We strive to transform medicine through educating and training the next generation of healthcare providers, conducting pioneering research that will generate new treatments and preventions, and providing innovative clinical care to all who come to us.
We hope you enjoy the magazine.
