Kerry Vaughan, MD, a neurosurgeon at and a member of the team, was recently featured by Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) in Siem Reap, , for her work.

The article highlighted the beginning of her journey in Uganda, her contributions to the World Health Organization (WHO)'s spina bifida prevention efforts, and her current work on a resolution encouraging governments worldwide to commit to tracking and treating traumatic brain injuries.

During her visit to AHC, she shared expert insights to help develop a protocol for children with head injuries. The learning was bidirectional, though. Dr. Vaughan was impressed by the teamwork, communication, and uses of technology in AHC's operating room. She hopes to incorporate that knowledge here at Barrow and at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre - KCMC, a partner site of Barrow located in Tanzania.

has received an additional $25.3 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to extend the groundbreaking Access for All in ALS (ALL ALS) Consortium for another two years.

With this additional funding, Barrow has received a total of $76.5 million from the NIH for ALL ALS. This makes the Consortium the largest externally funded study and program in the Institute’s 64-year history.

Established in 2023, the ALL ALS Consortium is disrupting the clinical research landscape through its open-science methods. This means researchers across the United States will have access to the data and biological samples collected by the Consortium’s 37 participating clinical research sites—19 of which Barrow oversees as the Consortium’s West Clinical Coordinating Center.

Even outside of the clinic and the operating room, our surgeons are working to ensure patients receive the care they need.

Shawn Stevens, MD, and Ameya Jategaonkar, MD, traveled to Washington, D.C., to join the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) Physician Advocacy Day. Alongside other representatives of Project 535, the surgeons lobbied for bills to support Medicare expansion as well as private health insurance coverage for hearing implants and for the screening of cytomegalovirus (CMV), a leading cause of in newborns.

This work followed the successful passing of Senate Bill 1741 here in Arizona. Along with Barrow speech-language pathologist Carolyn Abraham and the Arizona Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ArSHA), Dr. Stevens championed the bill, which allows adults with AHCCCS to receive and outpatient therapy services.

Thank you to our ENT team for all you do to improve the lives of our patients and others around the country.

The Department of Neurology at recently published a study that associated living near a dry cleaner with an increased risk of developing .

We were proud to see this study shared by several national media outlets, including People, Newsweek, Medscape, and U.S. News and World Report.

“This study adds to growing evidence that environmental exposures may play an important role in Parkinson’s disease,” said Brad Racette, MD, Chair of at Barrow and senior author of the study. “Identifying those exposures is an important step toward understanding how we might reduce the burden of this disease in the future.”
