Honored this week to welcome the Texas A&M University @TAMU Executive MHA site visit team to @utmbhealth Clear Lake! A special full-circle moment as a proud Aggie MBA graduate myself to invest in future healthcare leaders. 🤝🏥
Leadership matters. People matter. 👍 #GoAggies

A belated congrats to URO-3 @coreyable for receiving the SSMR Traveling Fellowship Award at last weeks #AUA26!

Honored to join the @BeckersHR Podcast with Scott Becker to discuss physician leadership, AI, and high-value care systems that truly support patients and frontline teams. Healthcare’s future led by those who can bridge the bedside and the boardroom.🎙️ https://t.co/CTmDicY08l

Grateful for the opportunity to present our work at #AUA2026 showing that Blue Light Cystoscopy is not only associated with lower NMIBC recurrence, but also approaches cost-neutrality after 5 years!

Great collaborative work @UTMBUrology @vadurham @PhotocureASA presented @AmerUrological #AUA26 in DC by @AliNasrallah! Blue light cost equivalent with decreased recurrence brings value among this high risk predominant cohort. Not one size fits all. @SFreedlandMD @IBCG_BladderCA

[UTMBUrology @UTMBUrology]

@UTMBUrology URO-4 @AliNasrallah presented his work this morning on blue light cystoscopy, both outcome and cost considerations at #AUA26. Great work!

@UroDocAsh @AmerUrological @bbmdmsk @siadaneshmand @WesKassouf @abellete @coreyable @JosephSonstein @UTMBUrology @utmbhealth @JJUroDoc Likewise and thanks for always pushing me to be better! 🙏

[Corey Able, MD @coreyable]

Zain Akbar, MS2 from John Sealy School of Medicine, presenting his work with @JosephSonstein on SGLT2 inhibitors decreasing the risk of UTI, pyelonephritis and sepsis. Strong work on a medical student led project! @UTMBUrology

[Stephen B. Williams, MD, MBA, MS, FACHE @SWilliams_MD]

At @AmerUrological Annual Meeting #AUA26 and proud to see @JJUroDoc @UTMBUrology present outstanding translational research at the R. Frank Jones Urological Society, highlighting the exciting work underway in bladder cancer. The future is bright. Great job and well done. 👏

[Stephen B. Williams, MD, MBA, MS, FACHE @SWilliams_MD]

At @AmerUrological Annual Meeting #AUA26 in DC, reminded the greatest value of meetings isn’t just science/innovation — it’s people. The mentors, friendships, and conversations that challenge us, grow us, and shape us. Never forget where you started or those who helped you rise.

[Stephen B. Williams, MD, MBA, MS, FACHE @SWilliams_MD]

At what cost do we treat non muscle invasive bladder cancer? The combined @AmerUrological @IBCG_BladderCA #AUA26 which @AmandaMyersMD highlighted our work and key debate to consider globally. Well done @UroDocAsh @spsutkaMD @VigneshPackiam @BogdanaSchmidt @AmandaMyersMD! 🎉🌎💫

[Stephen B. Williams, MD, MBA, MS, FACHE @SWilliams_MD]
