I will start-
Let’s not boast about residency weight loss after the infamous weight gain while preparing for competitive exams.
Let’s strive for balance in everything- in life AND in work…not just in between them.

The country’s first comprehensive “memory hub” with prevention, treatment, care, and research all under one big roof!
Today we celebrated the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the new Brain Aging and Memory Hub on the 5th floor of Callahan Eye Hospital. We are thrilled to be able to accommodate patients in this new comprehensive space!
