Healing Hands

All the sophisticated treatment Sarah Grace needed was right in Columbia, thanks to a neurosurgeon at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. Learn how Dr. Lenwood Smith helped the Jareckis, and how USC’s Division of Neurosurgery is serving patients with a wide range of conditions.
