Meet Tyler Mouw, MD, MSC!

Dr. Mouw is the Chief of Surgical Oncology and Hepatobiliary Surgery at UMC Health System and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. His commitment to cancer care began in medical school, where losing a close friend gave him a deeper understanding of what patients and families go through and inspired him to support people facing cancer.

He believes that effective cancer care takes a strong team. “Nobody can do this by themselves,” he says. “Patients need support, and providers must work together to give them the best care possible.” Dr. Mouw partners closely with medical and radiation oncologists to ensure every patient receives coordinated, comprehensive treatment.

With broad fellowship training across many cancer types, including esophageal and gastric cancers, soft tissue sarcomas, skin cancers, and advanced certification in pancreatic and liver cancers, Dr. Mouw fills a major gap in surgical oncology services in West Texas. He is committed to bringing advanced, high-quality cancer care to patients right here at home, reducing the need for long travel and strengthening cancer care in our community.

Meet Ricardo Franco, MD!
Dr. Franco is a Pulmonology and Critical Care specialist at UMC Health System and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. With advanced fellowship training in Interventional Pulmonology from Johns Hopkins University, he brings highly specialized expertise in diagnosing and treating complex lung diseases, including lung cancer. His training allows patients in the Lubbock area to receive advanced lung care without needing to travel far from home.

Dr. Franco is dedicated to caring for patients with compassion, respect, and clear communication. “For me, it’s not just about treating illness. It’s about walking with patients and families through some of their hardest moments,” he says. “Every patient deserves the same dedication I would give to my own family.”

He continues to strengthen lung care in the Lubbock community by helping diagnose lung disease earlier, expanding access to advanced treatments, and supporting patients with serious lung conditions. Through his expertise and commitment, Dr. Franco works every day to provide exceptional, patient-centered care right here at home.

The holiday season can bring added stress, especially for those already feeling overwhelmed. Remember that you don’t have to handle everything alone. Reaching out for help can make a real difference. Focus on being present rather than perfect, and make sleep a priority to support your well being. Above all, allow yourself to set boundaries. It’s okay to say no when you need to protect your mental health.
