Adam Kanter, MD, was named executive medical director of Hoag's Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute in Newport Beach, Calif.
Dr. Kanter is a neurosurgeon with fellowship training in spine and neurological surgery. He will lead a group of experts focused on conditions including Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis, according to an April 22 news release from Hoag.
Stepping into this role, my priority is to integrate the latest research and technology with the exceptional level of compassion that defines Hoag's care," Dr. Kanter said in the release. "I'm here to help contribute to meaningful improvements in our patients' lives, embracing innovation and AI, but not at the expense of the human touch that sets us apart."
