MyGeorgetownMD - Health Newsletter

MyGeorgetownMD will acquaint you with our renowned five areas of excellence: cancer, gastroenterology, neuroscience, liver and small bowel transplant, and peripheral vascular services. We periodically hold community lectures here at the hospital to provide an opportunity for attendees to learn more about these areas of healthcare and to have one-on-one conversations with qualified Georgetown University Hospital physicians. Look for planned dates for these events in our upcoming editions of MyGeorgetownMD.
