These strategic appointments mark a significant step in strengthening the hospitals' surgical services and expanding access to specialized care for communities in the Bronx.

Dr. Hyun brings a wealth of experience in urologic oncology and minimally invasive surgical techniques to her new role. Her leadership is expected to enhance the department's capabilities in treating complex urological conditions, including cancers of the prostate, bladder, and kidneys.
