他治愈了我们的战争英雄

在他跟随越战军队做了四年随军医生后，蒂莫西·米勒医生创建了一个开创性的项目去服务那些追随他的脚步的士兵。该项目始于2007年，这个叫做UCLA手术修补的项目是布鲁克陆军医疗中心，UCLA医疗系统和V.A.GRAETER洛杉矶医疗系统联合开展的项目。旨在为从战场上回到祖国的士兵提供修复外科手术和其他医疗看护。米勒长时间在UCLA任教，现已任UCLA大卫格芬药学院整容外科手术部门的终身教授，是项目修复手术的主外科医师。鉴于他的病人所作出的牺牲，他称他的工作为“特权”。米勒和他的团队已经做过上千次手术，帮助上千位战争英雄和他们的家人继续他们的军队服役。

Timothy Miller

MD 1963

He Heals Our Heroes

Four decades after he served in the Army in Vietnam, Dr. Timothy Miller helped create a groundbreaking program to serve the soldiers who had followed in his footsteps. Founded in 2007, UCLA Operation Mend is a joint program between Brooke Army Medical Center, the UCLA Healthcare System, and the V.A. Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System that provides reconstructive surgery and other medical care for military personnel returning home after combat. Miller, a long-time UCLA faculty member who’s now a tenured professor of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, is the program’s chief reconstructive surgeon. He calls his job “a privilege,” considering the sacrifices made by his patients. Miller and his team have performed hundreds of surgeries, helping hundreds of heroes–and their families–following their military service.
