Mildred T. Stahlman, MD, who pioneered the treatment of lung disease in premature infants and who was a tireless advocate of children of all ages, died over the weekend. She was 101 years old. During her incredible career, she helped establish the nation’s first newborn intensive care unit here at Vanderbilt, which used monitored respiratory therapy in babies born with damaged lungs. She also established Vanderbilt’s Division of Neonatology. “Dr. Stahlman was pioneering in so many ways. Refusing to accept the poor outcomes of babies born prematurely, she forged new methods to support their survival while upending the field of neonatology. Throughout her life, she generously supported numerous programs and services that have advanced our mission,” said Jeff Balser, MD, PhD, president and CEO of Vanderbilt University Medical Center. During a 2009 lecture to medical students, Stahlman was asked what advice she had for doctors in training. Stahlman answered: “What I would hope that I could convince you of is that if you are ever going to practice medicine, the first thing you have to learn is charity. What is charity? Charity is unqualified love.” According to Stahlman’s wishes, no memorial service will be held. You can read more about her life and career below. https://bit.ly/3zqNzaY

To encourage providers to address what some say is the “elephant in the room,” researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) developed a list of online vendors providing discounts and other selling options to lower one-time or monthly costs for patients. The compilation was published in an article in Urology Practice and has become a useful referral tool for clinicians. “We know that nine out of 10 patients want to discuss cost considerations with doctors, but there is stigma and embarrassment in bringing these topics up. We want people to be able to afford their prescriptions. Adherence leads to better outcomes," said Ruchika Talwar, M.D., a clinical instructor of urologic oncology at VUMC.
