The 2019 Health Discovery Leadership Circle Recognition Luncheon was held Friday, Nov. 1 at noon at the Herberman Conference Center in the Cancer Pavilion of Shadyside Hospital.

• Digital Neuro-Fiber Tracking with the Department of Neurosurgery

Each station presented the opportunity to interface with the operators and their technology, ask questions and learn about exciting new developments in their respective fields.
