Only a handful of surgeons in the world can do this surgery. One of them is at @UHN.
When Maria was 18, doctors found a rare tumour in her heart that had likely been there since she was a baby. Removing it required an incredibly rare operation, one that very few surgeons have the experience to perform. Dr. RJ Cusimano, a cardiac surgeon at @PMunkCardiacCtr, was one of them.
Today, he’s helping patients with some of the rarest and most complex heart conditions while also sharing his expertise with surgeons around the world. Because when it comes to rare diseases, advancing care takes a global effort.🫀

No scripts. No actors. Just people. We sat down with real UHN patients, researchers, clinicians and staff and asked them one simple question: "Tell us about UHN."
Their stories became the foundation of our new #UHNITED ad campaign A celebration of what's possible when extraordinary people come together around one goal: helping patients move forward. UHNITED, we make more tomorrows possible. 💙
