At UMMC, a team of surgeons took on a case others called impossible and gave one patient her smile back.

After surviving oral cancer and years without teeth, Dawn Hoge found hope through a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind procedure in Mississippi. Led by Dr. Ignacio Velasco and Dr. Laura Humphries, the team combined complex reconstruction with advanced 3D technology to perform the state’s first bi-maxillary implant using a fully customized system.

The result? She walked into surgery without teeth and woke up with a smile!

Stories like Dawn’s are a powerful reminder of what’s possible when innovation and collaboration come together to change lives.

Each year, the James Harvey Hendrix, Jr. Lectureship in Surgery gives us a moment to pause and reflect on the impact of Dr. Hendrix and the foundation he built at UMMC.

This year’s guest, Dr. Eduardo D. Rodriguez, shared what that legacy looks like in action today. From leading complex reconstructive cases to performing the world’s first successful face and double hand transplant, his work is truly life changing.

It was a special opportunity to hear his perspective, connect across generations, and be reminded why this work matters so much. NYU Langone Health

We’re excited to introduce a new multidisciplinary Jaw Clinic at the Stephanie & Mitchell Morris Center for Cleft and Craniofacial Research and Innovation.

Our teams in Plastic Surgery, OMFS, Orthodontics, and Pediatric Dentistry are working together to care for patients with cleft lip and palate, and other craniofacial and jaw-related diagnoses.

At this important step, when decisions about jaw surgery are being made, patients can complete imaging, exams, and consultations all in one visit to create a clear plan forward.

Our goal is simple: make this process easier, more connected, and less overwhelming for patients and their families.

Shoutout to Amy N. Parker, MSN, APRN, RN, Clinical Outcomes Coordinator, who presented at the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists (NACNS) Annual Conference in San Diego.

Her poster, “Thrombosis Prevention in Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease: A Multidisciplinary Quality Improvement Initiative,” highlighted the power of collaboration in improving patient care.

With over 700 attendees, 385 abstracts submitted, and only 96 selected for poster presentations, this recognition speaks volumes.

We’re proud to support and celebrate this work being shared on a national stage!
