OZH NEWCOMERS What appeals to me about Ozarks Healthcare is that it
provides me a great opportunity to provide the same specialties and services in West Plains that you find in larger metro areas.
Dr. David Adam Jones RADIATION ONCOLOGIST Ozarks Healthcare Cancer Treatment Center
“ ”
A native of Delaware, Dr. David Adam Jones received his undergrad from Clemson
University in South Carolina and attended graduate school at the University of Virginia studying biomedical engineering. After that, he earned his medical degree from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, one of the oldest medical schools in the country. He com- pleted his medical residency at the University of Kentucky. “Ozarks Healthcare just felt like a good fit,” he said of his decision to come to West Plains
in November 2020. “I saw a lot of opportunity in this role because to have a cancer clinic, you need a radiation oncologist. It’s also an impressive medical community; I was sur- prised to find out Ozarks Healthcare had a neurologist and a heart surgeon. I’ve been at larger health systems that didn’t have that medical expertise.” Jones has hit the ground running since arriving at the clinic, getting settled in and serv- ing patients. When he’s not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife and 3-year-old daughter. He’s also been known to hit a golf ball or two and is looking into checking out the local courses as time and weather permit.
Dr. Hussain Ibrahim INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGIST Ozarks Healthcare Heart and Lung Center
A native of Pakistan, Dr. Hussain Ibrahim is one of the newest faces on the Ozarks
Healthcare medical team. He arrived in West Plains last summer along with his wife, en- docrinologist Dr. Nashmia Riaz, who is also an OZH physician. Ibrahim completed his medical school training at Aga Khan University in Pakistan and his medical residency in internal medicine at Michigan State University/Spectrum Health. From there, he completed a cardiology fellowship at the University of Texas Medical Branch and a second fellowship in interventional cardiology at the University of Miami. “What appeals to me about Ozarks Healthcare is that it offers a great opportunity to provide the same specialties and services in West Plains that you find in larger metro ar- eas,” he said. “That’s very convenient for patients who are local.” Having landed in the role in the middle of the pandemic, Dr. Ibrahim praised the staff for their strict adherence to safety protocols, including wearing masks and requiring COVID-19 testing before procedures. He said these rigorous standards have enabled pa- tients to receive needed treatment in a safe, clean environment. When not working, Ibrahim enjoys several stress-relieving activities, especially travel-
ing and reading. 12 | OZARKS HEALTHCARE | SPRING 2021
