❤️ Heart Health Month | Pearland Heart Walk ❤️

February is Heart Health Month, and our Pearland office team proudly participated in a Heart Walk to raise awareness about heart disease prevention and cardiovascular health in our community.

Regular physical activity — like walking — plays a vital role in improving heart health, lowering blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease, and supporting overall wellness. Walking is also a safe, low-impact way to promote joint health, mobility, and orthopedic wellness, making it one of the best exercises for both your heart and musculoskeletal system.

Let’s continue working together toward stronger hearts and healthier joints.

What a fantastic Grand Rounds today with visiting professor Mark H. Getelman, MD. 🙌

Our orthopedic residency and sports medicine fellowship trainees had incredible exposure to high-level case discussions, arthroscopic pearls, and real-world surgical decision-making. It was fascinating to hear Dr. Getelman share his expertise and engage directly with our residents and fellows.

With extensive publications on shoulder, knee, and ankle topics, national and international teaching experience, and his leadership as co-director of the Southern California Orthopedic Institute Sports Medicine Fellowship, his perspective brought tremendous educational value.

Days like this remind us how vital mentorship, collaboration, and continued learning are in shaping the next generation of orthopedic surgeons.

Nurses are at the heart of our care. They provide comfort during difficult moments, advocate for patients and families, and bring compassion and expertise when it’s needed most.

If a UT Physicians nurse made a meaningful difference in your life or the care of someone you love, nominate them for the Houston Chronicle's Salute to Nurses recognition.

Submit your nomination by Sunday, March 1, and help us honor exceptional nurses for their extraordinary care. https://ow.ly/RYf550Y88IW

Thumb CMC arthritis can affect nearly every part of daily life—from gripping and pinching to typing and texting.

UTHealth Houston hand surgeons recently completed early U.S. training on a new surgical technique designed to support faster recovery, preserve thumb anatomy, and improve patient outcomes. This training places UTHealth Houston among a select group of academic medical centers nationwide evaluating this approach.
