I am excited to share that I have joined Baptist Health as Chief of Breast Surgical Oncology at Miami Cancer Institute | Baptist Health - Plantation, a Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center affiliate.
Although I am excited for this opportunity and the ability to continue advancing breast cancer care, this transition is also bittersweet. During my time at Broward Health, I had the privilege of working closely with an exceptional team across my office, the Cancer Center, the operating room, and the Womenโs Center. Together, we cared for countless women and families facing breast cancer, and I am deeply grateful for the relationships, teamwork, and shared purpose we built over the years. I will still be operating at Broward hospitals and helping this community!
The colleagues, mentors, nurses, staff, and patients I have worked alongside have profoundly shaped both my professional and personal journey.
I look forward to continuing the work I am most passionate about โ treating patients with breast cancer โ while collaborating with the multidisciplinary team at Baptist Health to provide thoughtful, compassionate, and evidence-based care for our community.
Special mention to Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School and for Innovative Leadership for being on this journey with me as I earn my MBA.
Thankful for the experiences that brought me here and excited for what lies ahead. Alia Abdulla, D.O., FACS, Fellowship-Trained Surgical Oncologist Alia Abdulla, D.O., FACS, Fellowship-Trained Surgical Oncologist
