We are excited to share that Debra L. Palazzi, MD, MEd, has been selected as the next pediatrician-in-chief at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital and chair of the Department of Pediatrics and Dunavant Chair of Excellence at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Palazzi will begin her role on July 1.

Palazzi joins Le Bonheur from Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, where she served as division chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and professor of Pediatrics. She earned her medical degree from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, completed her pediatric residency at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C., and completed a Pediatric Infectious Diseases fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine. She also earned a Master of Education with an emphasis in Health Sciences from the University of Houston.

Palazzi’s recruitment is a result of collaborative effort between The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.

Palazzi’s experience, leadership and commitment to excellent clinical care, research and education align with Le Bonheur’s momentum as we continue growing programs, expanding advocacy efforts and increasing our community impact across the Mid-South. We look forward to the innovation and collaboration she will bring to this role.

We want to thank Terri Finkel, MD, PhD, for her leadership as interim pediatrician-in-chief and chair of the Department of Pediatrics during this transition.

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Palazzi to Le Bonheur. We look forward to this next chapter in our shared commitment to the children and families of Memphis and beyond.
