Furthermore, at this time our nation’s health care system does not have a solution in place for uninsured patients with this disease.” said Dr. Michael Yeh, Section Chief of Endocrine Surgery and Associate Professor of Surgery, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. “Given the current economic conditions, we are talking about a significant number of people who could be helped by this collaboration.
