Construction on a new multidisciplinary head and neck cancer clinic will soon get underway on the 10th floor of Emory University Hospital Midtown. On Aug. 23, clinical teams and stakeholders participated in a process known as integrated facility design and gave input on how the design can be optimized to best serve Winship patients. During a break from the planning, Winship head and neck surgeon Mihir Patel, MD, and nurse practitioner Martha Ryan, MS, FNP-C, held a Facebook Live discussion and took questions from viewers on ways to prevent and treat head and neck cancer.
