Neurosurgery Patient Buoyed by UNC Baseball Team

January 26, 2011 -- The "Wilmington Star News" featured a story about 10-year-old Zion Kinlaw, who underwent brain surgery last October. The young man received excellent care from the Neurosurgery team (including surgeons Victor Perry, MD, and Jennifer Orning, MD) as well as a large group of unanticipated supporters in the form of the UNC baseball team.
