Virtua’s New Security Dog Named after Surgeon who Saved Donor’s Life

Retired police officer and popular dog trainer Perry Parks says that receiving a Stage 3 colon cancer diagnosis was one of the most difficult moments of his life. Today, healthy and grateful, Parks is giving back to the health system he credits with saving him by donating a fully trained security dog to Virtua Health.

The Belgian Malinois, valued at $15,000, recently joined Virtua’s security team. Parks had one heartfelt request: the dog is named Meslin, in honor of Keith Meslin, MD, the Virtua colorectal surgeon who performed his lifesaving robotic surgery.

An Exceptional Gift

“Nothing I faced as a police officer was as daunting as being told I had cancer,” said Parks, 65, of Medford, N.J. “After [colorectal] surgery, Dr. Meslin told me, ‘I just put 30 years in your tank.’ He relieved me of all my worries. He truly gave me a new lease on life.”

10 Tropical Fruits You Should Add to Your Diet for Better Health

Most people cycle through the same handful of fruits every week and call it variety. Tropical fruits cover nutritional ground that apples and grapes simply do not, and the ten on this list are worth making a permanent part of how you eat.

Fruit	Key Nutrients	Primary Health Benefit
Mango	Vitamin C, B6, folate, beta-carotene	Immunity, energy, skin health
Papaya	Papain, vitamin C, folate, lycopene	Digestion, inflammation, skin
Pineapple	Bromelain, vitamin C, and manganese	Anti-inflammation, digestion, and joints
Guava	Vitamin C, fiber, potassium, folate	Immunity, gut health, heart health
Passion fruit	Fiber, magnesium, antioxidants, B2	Energy, digestion, cellular health
Dragon fruit	Prebiotics, antioxidants, iron, and magnesium	Gut microbiome, blood sugar, energy
Jackfruit	Potassium, B vitamins, fiber, protein	Satiety, heart health, and blood sugar
Lychee	Vitamin C, polyphenols, copper, B6	Immunity, skin, circulation
Coconut	Electrolytes, MCTs, potassium, fiber	Hydration, sustained energy, gut health
Soursop	Acetogenins, vitamin C, B vitamins, fiber	Antioxidant protection, immunity, and digestion

Why Tropical Fruits Belong in Your Regular Diet

1. What Makes Tropical Fruits Nutritionally Different

Tropical fruits contain enzymes, phytonutrients, and antioxidants that most everyday fruits simply do not have. Papain is in papaya, bromelain is in pineapple, and acetogenins are in soursop. These are not minor nutritional differences.

They are functional compounds with documented effects that have no real equivalent in a standard fruit bowl.

Rotating through ten tropical fruits covers vitamin C, B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, iron, fiber, and antioxidants across multiple cellular functions at once. That breadth is hard to get from three fruits on repeat.
