About the Event

In this installment of Surgery and Perioperative Care Combined Grand Rounds, Damon West, M.S., presents “Criminal Justice.”

West is an internationally known keynote speaker, a Wall Street Journal bestselling author and former crime boss in Dallas, who was sentenced to life in prison for organized crime. After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, West had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, he emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man.
