James Brandt, MD, focuses his research on treating glaucoma in children, and Nicholas Marsh-Armstrong, PhD, focuses on glaucoma diagnostics and therapeutics, according to a Sept. 13 news release from the health system. 

“This incredibly generous gift from Mr. Geweke will serve as a catalyst to advance the understanding and treatment of glaucoma for generations to come,” Mark Mannis, MD, professor and chair of the department of ophthalmology and vision science, said in the release.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
