Ryan Uitti, MD, an expert on Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders at Mayo Clinic and medical director of the Mayo Clinic Care Network’s Southeast Region, has been named to the board of trustees at Baton Rouge General (BRG).
“As a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, we have gotten to know Dr. Uitti over the past year, and his perspective and experience are second to none,” said Phyllis McLaurin, who serves as the chair of the BRG Board of Trustees. “As we continue to use Mayo Clinic’s resources on behalf of our patients, we will also have Dr. Uitti’s valuable input as we move forward as a hospital system.”
In January 2020, BRG announced its membership in the Mayo Clinic Care Network.
Uitti is also a professor and consultant in the Department of Neurology at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., where he has served since 1994.
