Congratulations, Dr. Duggins. CMO for Ascension Via Christi. "Grief can be paralyzing. I could not allow it to do that to me, personally." 🙏🙏🙏

Former MSSC President Maurice Duggins, MD, spoke with the Wichita Business Journal about his decision to become a chief medical officer for Ascension Via Christi while grieving the loss of his daughter Kiah, who died in the American Airlines plane collision in January. Kiah, a civil rights attorney and community advocate, had encouraged him to pursue the position. “It was the fact that I knew that she was so supportive of me, why it was so easy for me to say, ‘Yes, I am still interested in taking this position, taking this challenge on.’” Dr. Duggins said. “Grief can be paralyzing. I could not allow it to do that to me, personally."

Welcome to this world!

We are thrilled to welcome a third African elephant calf to our herd! 🐘🎉

In the early morning of Tuesday, June 3rd, new mother Arusi safely delivered a healthy calf after 651 days of gestation.

Arusi’s calf joins Bomani (born April 10) and Kijani (born April 14). Bomani, along with his mother, Talia, and Simunye, were present for the birth and have been a supportive presence for Arusi. Bomani is already excited and curious about his new herdmate!

In alignment with breeding recommendations from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums African elephant Species Survival Plan, these additions to our herd are a reflection of the Zoo’s commitment to support the health and sustainability of African elephant populations in North America.

The gender AND name of this calf will be revealed LIVE on the Today Show tomorrow at 9:00am CST - so be sure to tune in! 📺
