Leading beyond the clinic. 💙

For more than 25 years, Dr. Atif Hussein has helped shape the future of cancer care at Memorial Cancer Institute. Today, his leadership extends beyond the bedside, championing philanthropy, groundbreaking research, physician education, and patient support through the Memorial Foundation.

From expanding access to advanced clinical trials and immunotherapies to helping patients overcome financial barriers to treatment, donor support is making a life-changing impact every day.
"Medicine alone isn't enough. Philanthropy bridges the gap between what is possible and what is truly transformative."

After 34 years in the skies, Spirit Airlines has officially shut down. Once the nation's most recognizable ultra-low-cost carrier, Spirit connected millions of travelers with affordable flights while maintaining one of the youngest fleets and strongest safety records in U.S. aviation.

Now, 17,000 employees are out of work, aircraft are being liquidated, and Fort Lauderdale is feeling the impact. But a grassroots movement called "Let's Buy Spirit" is already trying to bring the airline back to life.
Could Spirit 2.0 rise from the ashes? Time will tell.

𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐑 — but the 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 still matters most.

South Florida HR leaders recently gathered at 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐃𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬 to discuss how companies are implementing 𝐀𝐈, balancing 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, coaching, and culture. One thing was clear: 𝐀𝐈 is here to 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞, not replace them.
