Rehab center promotes pathologist
Deborah Zahn has been selected to serve as a lead speech-language pathologist at Florida Hospital Peninsula Rehabilitation, located at Florida Hospital Oceanside, 264 S. Atlantic Ave.
Zahn, an Ormond Beach resident, has 13 years of experience. The rehabilitation center cares for stroke patients, trauma injuries, amputations, neurological disorders, spinal cord injuries and orthopedic surgery recovery.
Surgeon publishes research article
Dr. T. Christopher Windham, surgical oncologist at Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center, has published an article called “Geriatric Oncology for the 21st Century: A Call for Action” in the April, 2014, edition of the Journal of Oncology Practice.
“Older patients with cancer tend to be under-represented in clinical trials,” Windham said. “Because of this, oncologists on a national scale lack evidence-based data for treatment decisions in older patients with cancer.”
Windham and his associates were asked by the American Society of Clinical Oncology to define future priorities for geriatric oncology.
