From the Front Court to the Front Lines

SALT LAKE CITY – Much like she did during her Lady Bulldog basketball career, Rebecca Rowsey Desso is making an impact. This time, it is in the fight against COVID-19.

As an anesthesiologist at the University of Utah hospital, Desso is living on the front lines of this worldwide pandemic. Everything has changed for this former women’s basketball student-athlete, who played at Georgia from 2004-08.

While she used to assist in both emergency and elective surgeries, these past few months have been filled with crucial procedures to help save the lives of those fighting this virus.
