Pioneering pediatric surgeon hopes to train others at UNC on life-saving procedure

For years, Dr. Andrea Hayes-Jordan was the only person in the world performing a surgery to save children with a rare cancer. In June, Hayes-Jordan joined UNC Children's Hospital to head pediatric surgery. “These kids with cancer are amazing. They enjoy every moment. They’re always happy. You wouldn’t know that they’d been through chemo for months and years," she said. "I really believe God put me here to do this." (WRAL.com)
