Thanks to Victory Health Partners, cost is less of a concern for
south Alabama's medically underserved.
Upgrading the X-ray machine at Mobile's Victory Health Partners
(VHP) from fi lm to digital images recently proved vital for
one patient. "Having power access for the X-ray machine has
signifi cantly enhanced our pulmonary practice by enabling us
to obtain critical imaging that guides our decision-making," says
Dr. Phil Almalouf. The higher-grade and therefore clearer digital
imaging allowed Almalouf and his team to identify a small nodule in
a patient's lung that turned out to be cancer. "This early detection
allowed for a surgical intervention and resection of a stage 1 lung
cancer, resulting in the patient's complete recovery without the
need for chemotherapy or radiation."
This successful outcome exemplifi es the way VHP serves those
without health insurance or who face other barriers to affordable
