In the global quest to cure cancer, enhanced collaboration to advance patient-centric international clinical trials, education & quality care makes a world of difference. This week, I participated in the Asia Society panel on public health and US-China cooperation with Kevin Rudd.

Cases of omicron subvariant BA.5 are rising nationally

“Statewide, we’re definitely seeing an increase,” said Jeanne Marrazzo to NBC Entertainment

“Even if it’s not as severe as earlier variants, the number of people who are eligible to get sick is just higher.”

I'm very sad to see @DrVickersUAB leave the Magic City for other opportunities but grateful for his work as a top recruiter of medical talent for UAB Health Systems & as wise counsel as Bham navigated the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thanks for keeping us healthy and strong, Dr. Vickers.
