SPRIN G 2021 Ransom Everglades LOG 59 Luis Martinez-Moure writes, “I won the Anderson Cup in 2018 with Pravan Chugani ’12 and am looking forward to future races. Learning to sail at RE is one of my fondest memories, and I do my part to teach new sailors in Coconut Grove.” Suzanne Slonim , doctorpreneur daughter of Miami doctors, was among 30 honorees for the 2020 Women in Business Award by the Dallas Business Journal. This prestigious award was created to honor women business leaders who have influenced and improved their communities. A board- certified specialist, Suzanne is also an accomplished businesswoman with an entrepreneurial spirit. She founded Fibroid Institute Dallas in 2016 out of concern for the high incidence of surgeries to treat uterine fibroids. As the institute’s medical director, she has since dedicated her practice to expanding access to a minimally invasive procedure called Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). Fibroid Institute Dallas is now a multi-million-dollar business that continues to grow as women become more educated about their treatment choices. Suzanne is considered a pioneer in interventional radiology. She is among only 12 percent in the highly specialized surgical field who are women. In her 25- year practice, she has performed more than 30,000 procedures and is regarded as a leading expert in UFE. She also is a sought-after speaker and author of the 2018 book, Pain-Free Periods — Banish Menstrual Misery, Fight Fibroids, and Get Your Life Back. She is repeatedly recognized as a “Best Doctor” in the North Texas area. Before founding her practice, Suzanne was the first woman to serve as medical staff president at Methodist Dallas Medical Center. She was also a partner and president of Radiology Consultants Association. She is a founder and board member of ZipRad, a medical software company. Suzanne is also passionate about philanthropy and community volunteerism. She is involved in numerous local organizations and nonprofits, many of which are focused on women’s issues. She serves as a mentor for female students, residents, fellows and doctors. She is a frequent speaker on women’s health issues to community organizations, businesses and places of worship.
