Celebrating Leadership and Gratitude This Holiday Season As we approach Thanksgiving, I’m feeling especially grateful for the incredible people in my life who have supported me and my family through the years. I’m proud to share that D Magazine recently featured an article highlighting my wife, Dr. Neeraja Kikkeri, DDS, and her exceptional leadership in healthcare. Her insights on “Five Strategies for Running an Ambulatory Surgery Center” showcase her dedication and expertise in the field. You can read the article here: ?? Expert: Five Strategies for Running an Ambulatory Surgery Center If you find it valuable, I’d be so grateful if you could share it with your network. To our friends, colleagues, and supporters, thank you for everything you do. Your friendship and encouragement mean the world to us. Wishing you all a joyous Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, and a wonderful New Year! #Leadership #Healthcare #AmbulatorySurgery #Gratitude #Thanksgiving #Holidays

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men!?The silver lining is that the 5-year survival rate in the U.S. for men diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer is greater than 99%. This #Movember, we’re highlighting the importance of men’s health and early prostate cancer detection. Our colleague Brien Ott recently faced a prostate cancer diagnosis. Thanks to his wife and his care team, Brien was able to get a diagnosis and treatment quickly. When he got the news that he was facing prostate cancer, his care team was able to act quickly through MRI imaging, a biopsy, and eventually treatment. With GE HealthCare’s portfolio of tools—from imaging to patient monitoring—Brien saw his life’s work come full circle and experience the true value of connected oncology care that empowers both patients and healthcare teams. Here’s to supporting the entirety of the patient journey and enabling early diagnosis when it matters most! #ProstateCancer #ProstateCancerAwareness #ConnectedCare
