“My team at Barrow has never given up on me; I am better thanks to their care, and that means absolutely everything to me. Without them, I wouldn’t be who I am or where I am today. For that, I am incredibly grateful.”
-Alison Coombs
Grateful patient at the Lewis Headache Center
This experience has changed my perspective on life in ways I never expected. It’s changed the career path I want to pursue, and it’s made me want to share my story to give others hope. I don’t think I would feel this way without the amazing doctors who cared for me.
-Brielle May

“I’m a warrior, and I refuse to lose.”
-Ann Rogers

🌍 #BarrowGlobal update: Our Barrow Global team recently visited Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Tanzania, East Africa, continuing our groundbreaking neurosurgical partnership established in 2022. Before, KCMC didn`t have a neurosurgical training program, meaning general surgeons handled complex cases.
