SHINE
Winter 2015–2016
For years,
patients have traveled to
Methodist Dallas Medical Center
from across the country and beyond
for our lifesaving and life-changing
gastroenterology (GI) treatments.
Now all these programs — handling
everything from pancreatic cancer
and pancreatitis to indigestion and
acid reflux — have united under
one name: Methodist Digestive
Institute (MDI).
MDI draws on the expertise of
physicians, researchers, and other health
professionals from multiple disciplines
to achieve transformative patient care.
“It’s been exciting seeing MDI come
together,” says Paul Tarnasky, MD,
FACP, FACG, gastroenterologist
and medical director of the Institute.
“While we’ve had the physician talent
under one roof, it’s nice to have
the structure in place to help
these specialists collaborate even
more and to see our programs
expand and thrive. The end
result is happy, satisfied patients
and families,” he says.
MDI is guided by six principles:
