PHC Piedmont Urology recognized as UroLift Center of Excellence. Special to IFN PHC Piedmont Urology is proud to announce that Dr. Tao Cui has been recognized as a UroLift Center of Excellence, a distinction awarded to physicians who demonstrate a high level of experience and commitment to delivering outstanding patient outcomes with the UroLift procedure. The designation recognizes providers who have achieved significant procedural experience and consistently deliver quality care for men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate. Dr. Cui and the team at PHC Piedmont Urology offer the UroLift procedure as a minimally invasive treatment option designed to relieve urinary symptoms caused by BPH without major surgery. The procedure works by lifting and holding the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way so it no longer blocks the urethra, helping patients experience improved urinary flow and relief from symptoms. "The improvement in UroLift technology allows us to treat men with bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms without the need for invasive surgery," Cui said. "Most patients see improvement in urinary symptoms in the first few days and can stop long-term medications." PHC Piedmont Urology serves patients across Iredell County and the surrounding region, offering comprehensive urologic care including treatment for prostate conditions, kidney stones, urinary disorders, and men's health concerns. Patients interested in learning more about the UroLift procedure or scheduling a consultation can contact PHC Piedmont Urology in Statesville at 704-838-8200 or learn more by visiting www.piedmonthealthcare.com/location/piedmont-urology. About PHC. Piedmont HealthCare is a physician owned, multi-specialty medical group and one of the largest of its kind in the region. For 30 years, the organization has cared for patients and families across Iredell County and the surrounding communities. With more than 215 physicians and providers across over 60 locations, Piedmont HealthCare delivers coordinated care across a wide range of specialties while remaining deeply connected to the communities it serves.

Piedmont HealthCare announces appointment of new chief operating officer. Special to IFN Piedmont HealthCare on Monday announced the appointment of Joy Durham as chief operating officer. Durham has been with Piedmont HealthCare since June 2014 and has spent her career at PHC focused on quality and performance improvement. Most recently, she served as executive director of value based care, where she worked closely with PHC physician offices to track quality measures, analyze performance data, and support teams in meeting care standards. Prior to her work in value based care, Durham spent six years as a director of operations at Piedmont HealthCare, giving her hands-on insight into what operational challenges and opportunities exist. "Joy has earned the trust of our physicians and office teams over many years," said CEO Jeffrey Smith. "Her deep understanding of quality, data, and day to day office realities makes her the right leader to help strengthen our operations while keeping patient care at the center of everything we do." In her new role as COO, Durham will work closely with the directors of operations to establish clear, efficient workflows and operational processes across offices. "As the philosopher Heraclitus said, 'The only thing that is constant is change.' That is especially true in healthcare," Joy noted. "Like many physician owned groups, Piedmont HealthCare is navigating changes in payment models while remaining independent in an environment that increasingly favors hospital ownership. I am excited to apply my experience in operations, value based care, and EHR oversight to help us use change as a tool to better serve our community." Durham's work has contributed to Piedmont HealthCare's strong organizational performance, including a current Net Promoter Score of 92. While NPS reflects patient experience, many of the measures Joy oversees directly impact office operations, care coordination, and consistency, all of which influence how patients experience their care. She has also played a key role in Piedmont HealthCare's partnership with agilon health, supporting independent physicians as they transition to value based care. This partnership focuses on improving outcomes for Medicare patients through better management of chronic conditions, reduced hospitalizations, and coordinated care that supports aging in place. Durham has deep roots in Iredell County, where she and her family have lived for more than two decades. "Statesville has been home to our family for 22 years," she shared. "Our three boys were raised here, our parents chose to retire here, and our church and friendships are here. It is a privilege to serve the same community that has given so much to our family." Looking ahead, she is focused on preserving Piedmont HealthCare's physician-led model while strengthening internal processes. "Piedmont is made up of more than 210 physicians and advanced practice clinicians who care deeply about their patients and go above and beyond every day. I am honored to support that work and excited to help identify ways we can be more consistent and efficient across the organization, always with the goal of supporting our providers and improving patient care," Durham said.

His ability to build meaningful relationships with staff and patients, combined with his experience managing clinical research, has prepared him well for this next step.

We're confident he will continue to strengthen operations across all locations."
