Bioscience Hub at Park Central Strengthens Phoenix’s International Medical Ties

by Mike Hunter

Park Central and the Phoenix Medical Quarter recently launched a groundbreaking partnership with leading neurologists from Vietnam and Barrow Neurological Institute.

This cross-training and educational collaboration, initiated through key discussions held by Plaza Companies principals and Barrow Neurological Institute with the McCain Institute, signifies a new era of international cooperation in the medical field and another example of the impact of the Phoenix Medical Quarter in the heart of the community.

The program is the start of an ongoing relationship. Esteemed fellows Dr. Pham Quang Tho and Dr. Nguyen Minh Anh were the first to be welcomed to spend a month at Barrow as part of this exchange, with three additional healthcare experts following them in recent weeks and more in the future. Barrow Neurological Institute, a global leader in neurological care, research and education, has an active role at Park Central and the Phoenix Medical Quarter, creating an ideal platform for fostering such international ties.

“This program is the direct result of the McCain Institute’s meetings in Vietnam, where we explored how to integrate cutting-edge medical practices from Arizona with the remarkable progress being made in Vietnam,” said Sharon Harper, chairman and CEO of Plaza Companies, co-developer of Park Central in the Phoenix Medical Quarter and a McCain Institute trustee. “Barrow’s work is truly international, and this partnership reflects our commitment to sharing expertise and fostering innovation globally.”

“Barrow Neurological Institute is proud to be the host organization for stroke physicians from the Bach Mai National Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam,” said Huiam Mubarak, MD, director of the Barrow Global Neurology Program. “This visit aligns with Barrow Global’s mission to provide a learning environment to improve the neuroscience health care of underserved populations across the globe. We aim to inspire neuroscience physicians and surgeons, advanced practice nurses, scientists and students by making world-class education and training accessible.”
