📢 Advancing GI Education at DCEC!
In a collaborative effort to bring GI-specific education to nurses and ancillary staff, the local SGNA recently hosted an impactful event at our DCEC location. 🎓💡
With support from Dr. Merritt and Dr. Navas, both passionate advocates for nutrition and minimally invasive interventions, attendees explored cutting-edge endoscopic weight loss procedures like the Obera Balloon, gastric aspiration, and Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG).
We also looked back at the history of weight loss interventions and discussed the revolutionary role of GLP-1 medications in obesity management today.
🙌 With 23 nurses and GI professionals in attendance, the event was filled with insightful discussions, interactive Q&As, and incredible feedback.
Together, we’re committed to advancing GI education and improving patient care—one session at a time.
