Texas Heart Institute, St. Luke's welcome world renown surgeon, Dr. Joseph S. Coselli
Posted at 8:08 PM
Texas Heart Institute, St. Luke's welcome world renown surgeon - 2004-12-08 - Houston Business Journal: "Dr. Denton A. Cooley on Wednesday appointed Dr. Joseph S. Coselli to the position of chief of adult cardiac surgery for the cardiothoracic surgical program of the Texas Heart Institute and St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital. "


Does this mean Dr. Coselli is no longer with Methodist Hospital
in Houston?

Here is a quote from the article I just blogged above this one "Cooley's appointment of Coselli follows a historic split between Baylor and The Methodist Hospital earlier this year. After a 50-year partnership, the two decided in April not to renew their contract, and St. Luke's became Baylor's primary private adult affiliate. Staff members have been relocating since then."

To tell you the truth, I'm having a hard time deciphering it myself.
