Meet 7D FLASH™. 🩻 Spine surgery used to mean radiation: a CT scan before, X-rays during, all adding up in the body over time. Now, 7D FLASH™ Navigation turns a standard MRI into a detailed, CT-like image. No radiation required, and it matters most for kids, who are more sensitive to it and often need imaging again over the years.

Maria Fareri Children's Hospital is the first pediatric hospital in New York, and the only one in the Northeast, to offer it. Link in bio to learn more about pediatric orthopedic care at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital.

Meet the therapy changing brain cancer treatment. 🧠 Dr. Simon Hanft and the team at WMCHealth helped lead the Phase III ROADS trial studying GammaTile therapy, delivering radiation directly at the surgical site instead of making patients wait weeks for treatment. The results: a greater than 50% reduction in risk of recurrence or death. 🔗 Link in bio to learn more about this incredible milestone.

🍂 Fall is here, and so is an important reminder.

Today is National Falls Prevention Awareness Day.

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury, especially for older adults, but many can be prevented with simple safety measures.

✅ Stay active to improve strength and balance
✅ Check medications that may cause dizziness
✅ Schedule regular vision and hearing exams
✅ Remove tripping hazards like loose rugs and clutter
✅ Improve lighting in hallways and stairways
✅ Install grab bars and handrails
✅ Wear supportive shoes

Small changes can make a big difference in helping keep you and your loved ones safe.

💙 Learn more about fall prevention from the Adult Trauma Program at WMCHealth.

🧸🍪 Teddy bears, treats, and lots of smiles!

Our Teddy Bear Cart recently visited patients, families, and staff with teddy-themed snacks, coloring pages, crayons, and a new favorite: Teddy Grahams.

Thanks to Compass Healthcare, these fun visits continue to bring comfort, connection, and joy throughout the hospital. Because sometimes the smallest surprises make the biggest impact. 💙

A historic first for epilepsy care in Kenya. 🌍💙

WMCHealth neurosurgeon Dr. Carrie Muh and chief resident Dr. Sabrina Zeller helped implant the first vagal nerve stimulators (VNS) ever placed in Kenya and, according to local partners, the first in Central or East Africa.

The devices were implanted in five children with medication-resistant epilepsy, while local neurosurgeons and neurologists received hands-on training to continue the work and expand access to care.

This is global medicine at its best: treating patients, sharing knowledge and creating lasting impact.
