UF Health and Halifax Health are proud to announce a major advancement in specialized neurosurgical care with the launch of a new, dedicated Skull Base and Pituitary Tumor Surgery Program. This initiative marks a significant milestone for healthcare in the region, ensuring patients no longer need to travel far for highly complex and delicate procedures.
