Duke Pain Clinic Now Performing Balloon KyphoplastyBilly K Huh, MD, PhD

Kyphoplasty is designed to repair vertebral compression fractures and restore the vertebrae to the correct position, reducing back pain, reducing the number of days in bed, significantly improving mobility and increasing overall quality of life. The procedure generally takes less than one hour per fracture and has been performed under both local and general anesthesia.

Annual Holiday Canned Goods DonationJessica Meyers, MD

The Holidays are soon approaching and at this time of the year, when we all pause to give thanks for all of the amazing gifts that we have, we also think about those in the community that are struggling. Each year, the anesthesia residents/faculty/staff have collected canned goods to be donated to the Foodbank of Central Carolina. Boxes will placed in various locations around the 5th Floor of the HAFS building. We will be delivering the food on December 17th, 2011.

This year, in ADDITION to the Foodbank (via the suggestion of Dr. Wahl), we will be donating to PORCH (People Offering Relief for Chapel Hill and Carrboro Homes) which stocks the shelves of 6 local food pantries and helps those right in our own backyard.

We have a wonderful and generous group of residents/faculty/CRNAs/staff...please donate what you can!

For more information on PORCH - www.porchnc.org or the Central Carolina Food Bank - www.foodbankcenc.org.
