Saint Francis Healthcare has appointed Seyedmehdi Jadali, M.D., FACS, Trauma Medical Director.
Dr. Jadali will lead the trauma program at Saint Francis, which is currently a Participating Trauma System Hospital seeking a Level 3 Trauma Center designation from the state in the upcoming year.

He has held various medical roles throughout his 25 years of practice after graduating from the Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 1991.
