GVI to be Showcased on International Stage at CNS Annual Meeting

This weekend from September 9-13, several of Kaleida Health's world-renowned neurosurgical experts will be speaking and participating in the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) 2023 Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.

The CNS is a partner organization for neurosurgeons, trainees and industry innovators in neurosurgical disease, advancing the global practice of neurosurgery by inspiring and facilitating scientific discovery and its translation to clinical practice. Through myriad resources, the organization supports neurosurgical professionals through all stages of their career.

Kaleida Health's Co-director of the Gates Stroke Center and Cerebrovascular Surgery Elad Levy, MD, MBA, FACS, FAHA, FAANS, serves as current president of the CNS and is on the 2023 Annual Meeting Committee. He is helping to showcase the pioneering work being done at the first-of-its-kind Gates Vascular Institute on an international stage. Dr. Levy is also SUNY Distinguished Professor and L. Nelson Hopkins Endowed Chair at the State University of New York at Buffalo.

L. Nelson ("Nick") Hopkins, III, MD, FACS, will be an honored guest at the conference and will be presenting during the General Scientific Session and his Honored Guest Luncheon: "What We Can Learn From Failure" on Monday, September 11. More than any other single individual, the creation of the Gates Vascular Institute is attributable to the remarkable career of Dr. Hopkins, SUNY Distinguished Professor of neurosurgery and radiology, and chair of the Department of Neurosurgery from 1989 to 2013. He was among the first neurosurgeons to apply minimally invasive endovascular techniques to the treatment of cerebrovascular disorders, techniques that have since become the international standard of care.

This year's conference has a record attendance with almost 5,500 attendees and will feature several celebrity speakers, such as Amal Clooney, Safi Bahcall, Chris Cassidy, Martin Eberhard and Justin Tuck. The event also has a record number of abstract submissions as well as a record number of scientific talks.
