    What if you could design a health system from the ground up? With the strength of @UTAustin, the integration of @UTMDAnderson, anchored by Dell Med & a unique opportunity to build differently, we can move beyond improving the system we have to build the one we need. @DellFdn

    This report reflects the experience at one center but "these findings highlight the fact that beanbag munitions can cause serious harm and are not appropriate for use in crowd control." See the full letter and findings from #DellMed faculty in @NEJM: bit.ly/3fX5Pt7 (3/3)
