Diagnosed and cured from the leading cause of cancer death in one day. At Hillcrest Medical Center (HMC), our thoracic oncology team is redefining what’s possible.

For the first time in Oklahoma, Dr. Kelly Nagasawa and Dr. Rachael Pattison led the team in successfully performing two single-anesthetic events in one day — a groundbreaking advancement in lung cancer care.

Two patients arrived with uncertain lung nodules. Within just a few hours, while under a single anesthesia event, our providers:

• Located the nodules
• Diagnosed the patients
• Removed the cancer

Both patients will go home cancer-free.

In 2025, HMC was named one of only a few nationally-awarded Comprehensive Thoracic Oncology Programs in the United States, recognized for excellence in thoracic oncology. With lung cancer remaining the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., our mission is clear: to change that statistic here at HMC and across the nation.

At Hillcrest, we’re not just advancing care — we’re changing lives. Thank you to our incredible team for making moments like this possible.

Dr. Edward Martin was awarded the prestigious Gold Medal by the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) at the 2026 Scientific Sessions in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, recognizing extraordinary service and lasting impact in the field. Often considered a “Hall of Fame” distinction, this award celebrates individuals who have advanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in truly meaningful ways.

Dr. Martin’s contributions have shaped the field on a global scale, including:
• Establishing the first cardiovascular MRI in a private cardiology practice in the U.S. (1999)
• Helping create and define the current cardiovascular MRI CPT billing codes
• Pioneering research on safely performing MRI scans in patients with pacemakers—changing practices worldwide
• Leading efforts to establish accreditation standards for CMR systems
• Training more than 80 physicians and technologists in CMR

He was also previously named a Master of the Society in 2021 — making this recognition even more remarkable.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Martin on this incredible achievement and his continued impact on advancing cardiovascular care!
