Wallace co-chairs UW Health Robotics Steering Committee

Congratulations to Sumer Wallace, MD, MS, associate professor in the Division of Gynecologic Oncology! Wallace became co-chair of the UW Hospital and Clinics Robotic Steering Committee in January, beginning a two-year term in the role. 

In this role, Wallace helps oversee robotic surgery programs across UW Hospital and UnityPoint Health-Meriter Hospital, making sure programs have access to robotic operating rooms, and helping service lines expand their robotic surgery offerings. 

In the near future, Wallace and the steering committee will lead the process to bring more robotic systems to UW Hospital, as well as guide the transition to incorporate robotic surgery into a transplant program. 

Incredible work, Dr. Wallace!
