"At Stony Brook, our faculty believe they have two jobs: providing excellent and innovative patient care, and always thinking about how the team can do it even better the next time.
In this edition of POST-OP, our Level 1
Trauma designation (new for New York
trauma centers) is a clear reflection of
excellence. The TCAR procedure being
performed by our vascular surgeons,
described here, is an example of excellence
and innovation applied directly to improve
patient care. These are but a few of many
examples in our department.
'Excellence and Innovation.' That is the Stony Brook Surgery way." — From the "Chairman's Message" by <a href="/surgery/people/faculty/dr-mark-a-talamini">Mark A. Talamini, MD</a>
