SPRING 2022
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Welcome to the Spring 2022 edition of the UTHSC Department of Surgery newsletter. With the arrival of spring, we finally have the opportunity for renewed optimism. We are seeing dwindling numbers of COVID-19 infections in the community and more importantly, in our hospitals and their ICUs. This, in turn, has led to the relaxation of restrictions and the resumption of in-person events at both the institutional and national levels. The ability to once again, personally interact with colleagues is indeed gratifying. Along these lines, this past month, we had the honor of welcoming Dr. John Tarpley, Professor of Surgery and Anesthesiology Emeritus, Department of Surgery, Section of Surgical Sciences, and Site Director and Associate Chief of Surgical Service, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, as our annual Global Surgery Distinguished Visiting Professor. Accompanying him was his wife, Dr. Margaret Tarpley, who also provided a lecture for the UTHSC Multicultural and Global Health Program.
With these many new developments, I look forward to a strong closing to the final quarter of the 2021-2022 academic year. I once again thank all of you for your outstanding contributions to the Department of Surgery. Sincerely,
David Shibata, MD, FACS, FASCRS Harwell Wilson Alumni Endowed Chair in Surgery Professor and Chair

UTHSC PHYSICIANS PROVIDE SURGICAL HELP IN UKRAINE Peggy Reisser, Communications Manager While UTHSC is not directly involved in Dr. Novick’s work in Ukraine, relationships built at UTHSC through these global outreach efforts stand to contribute to the surgical relief in Ukraine.
William Novick, MD, professor of pediatric cardiothoracic surgery at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, has operated on children around the globe as part of his mission to extend access to care to children in need wherever they are.
Nia Zalamea, MD FACS, assistant professor of general surgery, director of the UTHSC Global Surgery Institute, and associate director of the UTHSC Center for Multicultural and Global Health, has done medical mission work annually in the Philippines since 1999 with her family foundation, the Memphis Mission of Mercy, a nonprofit to provide health care in her parents’ home country of the Philippines. Dr. Zalamea and this organization are making plans to hospital supplies, surgical instruments, blankets, stretchers, and other equipment to send to surgeon partners in Ukraine.
He had operated on some babies in Ukraine in January, and when the war broke out there, even though he was on a surgical trip in the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the time, he felt compelled to return to Ukraine to check on them and help other children in need of surgery in the war zone. The Paul Nemir, Jr. Professor of International Child Health at UTHSC and the founder of the Novick Cardiac Alliance, Dr. Novick arrived in Ukraine on Sunday, March 13, and performed surgeries in the city of Lviv, working through his foundation, until leaving on Saturday, March 19.
The Memphis Mission of Mercy has for years been collecting medical supplies and equipment for the hospital it plans to build in the Philippines. The supplies are stored in a 5,000-square-foot warehouse in South Memphis, space donated by Methodist Le Bonheur Health Care, she said.
Dr. Novick has been leading medical teams to treat children with heart disease for more than 28 years. In 1993, he created the foundation now known as the Novick Cardiac Alliance, which is based in Memphis, to care for children with heart disease in underserved countries. He has recruited a team of clinical experts, including physicians, nurses, and other specialists in pediatric cardiac care, to make the trips with him as part of the work of the alliance.
Dr. Zalamea said the foundation board voted recently to send the supplies to Ukraine to help there with immediate life-saving needs. “We had a meeting, and with two cargo planes available, we decided we have to give everything, except for the operating tables (which are too big to transport and not yet needed), because they don’t have anything.” “We have the supplies and COVID has delayed us building the hospital,” Dr. Zalamea said. “It is really hard to say, ‘we are holding on to this for a hospital that’s not yet built.’ ”
Dr. Novick is also a leader in the UTHSC Center for Multicultural and Global Health. Its mission is to cultivate and leverage relationships with institutions locally, nationally, and globally to expand student, resident, and faculty access to multicultural health care delivery, address global health challenges, and train the next generation of global health leaders.
The planes would leave from North Carolina and land in Poland to get the supplies to Lviv, an effort being organized by a collective called Hope2Ukraine, a collaborative of charitable organizations with partners providing relief in Ukraine.
The Center for Multicultural and Global Health was born from experience gained through another global outreach organization at UTHSC, the Global Surgery Institute (GSI). Founded in 2018 in the College of Medicine, the GSI was designed to anchor and support surgical mission work that was already being done across specialties at UTHSC. Dr. Novick is also among the founders of this group, which has done surgical outreach with faculty, residents, and students providing health care in Honduras, the Philippines, Tanzania, Japan, Iraq, Zambia, and elsewhere.
Dr. Zalamea said, “One of our board members reflected, ‘It’s funny, we have been spending the last 10 years preparing for a particular moment in time when we might be able to fill a mission hospital with all of these supplies, and that day perhaps is to come. But perhaps the Lord has actually been preparing for this moment instead, with this need before us, and we happen to have an answer to that need.’ ”
