THE Cardinal Santos Medical Center (CSMC) Brain and Spine Institute recently organized a series of educational webinars entitled "A Legacy of Innovation, Education and Service." The webinars covered numerous topics on the innovations in brain and spine disease treatment and care and how doctors can best put them into practice. The event was held from May 24 to 27 via Zoom.
This weeklong series of webinars was set up not just to share the latest advancements in neurological disease treatment and care to the attendees of the said event, but also to commemorate CSMC Brain and Spine Institute's former chairman and pioneer, the late Dr. Eduardo Mercado, whose contributions to the field of neurological disease treatment set an example for younger generations of neurology practitioners to follow. He served at CSMC as the Chief Medical Officer in 1993 to 1995 and 2011 to 2012, and established the hospital's corporate social responsibility arm, Cardinal Medical Charities Foundation in 2011.
