NEUROSCIENCE INSTITU T E
At Boca Regional, we are starting
off 2016 in grand fashion with
the introduction of the Accuray
CyberKnife® M6™ System with
InCise2 technology. As our cover
story conveys, this latest evolution
in radiation therapy provides distinct
clinical and patient advantages
found in no other technology in
medicine today. There are only two
of these systems in the country
— and one of them is at our Lynn
Cancer Institute.
You will also read that the Hospital
has earned yet another national
accolade for its quality of care. The
National Research Corporation has
awarded us their coveted Consumer
Choice Award for 2015–2016. We
are the only hospital in Palm Beach
County to earn such a distinction.
I would also draw your attention
to the article on our Resident
Physician Community Partnership
Program. As the primary teaching
site for Internal Medicine Residents
from Florida Atlantic University’s
Charles E. Schmidt College of
Medicine, we pride ourselves on
our transformation from a capable
community hospital to a true
academic medical center. Yet our
commitment transcends that of
simply training tomorrow’s clinicians.
The Partnership Program is a unique
initiative designed to acclimate
these young doctors and their
families to our region. I invite you
to learn more about it and consider
becoming involved.
Other articles of interest will give
you insights into the advances we
are making in such areas as valvular
disease and breast health. You’ll
also find useful information on our
relationship with Northwell Health
(formerly North Shore-LIJ Health
System), our growing constellation
of outpatient facilities and a list
of our BocaCare® primary care
physicians and specialists.
By any measure, 2015 was very
special for Boca Raton Regional
Hospital. I have no doubt that 2016
will again be a banner year and
that we will continue to enhance
our position as one of the premier
providers of healthcare in the state
of Florida.
Sincerely,
Jerry J. Fedele
President & CEO

region and across the U.S.
“The Christine E. Lynn Women’s
Health & Wellness Institute has shown
a deep commitment to and shares our
common goal of providing patients
the most advanced personalized

Imaging Technology–
NO LONGER A ONE-SIZE-FITS ALL
The Christine E. Lynn Women’s
Health & Wellness Institute at Boca
Raton Regional Hospital has added
the GE Healthcare Invenia™
Automated Breast Ultrasound System
(ABUS) to their spectrum of breast
imaging capabilities.
The supplemental screening
option provides extraordinary image
performance, enhanced breast
coverage and excellent detection for
patients with all types of breast tissue.
Research has shown that utilizing the
same breast health imaging technology
for every woman is no longer optimum.
Differences in breast tissue require
a variety of tools to maximize
effectiveness and efficiency in screening
mammography. ABUS is the only
ultrasound device to be approved by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
as an adjunct technology that can
be used in conjunction with
mammography for breast cancer
screening in asymptomatic women
with dense breast tissue.
The Institute’s physicians believe
that using ABUS can help improve
cancer detection by nearly 55 percent
in patients with dense breasts.
Common among women, dense
breasts have more fibroglandular
tissue than fatty tissue. Though
cancer is more likely to develop in
dense breasts, mammography may
offer limited visibility.
“There is a dramatic paradigm
shift in the approach to screening
mammography that now recognizes
the difference in women’s breast
tissue and the clinical implications
of those differences,” said Kathy
Schilling, MD, Medical Director
of the Lynn Women’s Health &
Wellness Institute.
“The addition of
ABUS now gives
our Women’s
Institute every
tool possible
to customize
our screening
protocols
per a woman’s
specific needs
and detect breast
cancer at its earliest
and most curable
stage.”

Boca Regional
Introduces Fern F.
Steinfeld Transcatheter
Aortic Valve
Replacement Center
Boca Raton Regional Hospital has
established the Fern F. Steinfeld
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Center. This latest component of the
Hospital’s Christine E. Lynn Heart &
Vascular Institute provides a highly
therapeutic treatment option for
patients with symptomatic aortic
stenosis and who are considered a
high risk for standard valve
replacement surgery.
Aortic valve stenosis is a type of
heart disease in which the valve that
regulates blood flow from the heart is
narrowed and prevented from opening
fully. Regretfully, many of these patients
are of advanced age or have coexisting health issues that disqualify
them for traditional valve replacement.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
or TAVR is a minimally invasive surgical
6 | M A K I N G R O U N D S | Winter 2016
technique that greatly reduces the
procedural risk for these individuals.
TAVR delivers the artificial
replacement valve through a catheter.
Patients usually experience immediate
benefit in terms of improved blood
circulation. Because the valve
replacement is done via minimally
invasive technique, most patients can
expect a much faster recovery period
than they would from the conventional
open-heart procedure.
The Center is led by Carlos A. Velez,
MD, FACC, FSCAI, who serves as
Director of Structural Heart Disease
Interventions at the Christine E. Lynn
Heart & Vascular Institute. Dr. Velez is
a specialist in TAVR and has served on
the faculty of some of the nation’s most
prestigious heart programs including
those at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit,
Michigan, Ochsner Medical Center
in New Orleans, Louisiana and the
Swedish Medical Center in Seattle,
Washington.
“Dr. Velez brings impeccable
credentials and experience to our
TAVR Center,” said Richard Cartledge,
MD, FACS and Chief of Cardiovascular
Surgery at Boca Raton Regional
Hospital. “We, along with our patients,
are most fortunate to have a clinician of
his caliber heading this most important
addition to our capabilities at the Lynn
Heart & Vascular Institute.”

Transcatheter Aortic Valve
Replacement and other heart

Transcending the Training of
Tomorrow's Clinicians
T H E R E S I D E N T P H Y S I C I A N C O M M U N I T Y PA R T N E R S H I P
When Boca Raton Regional
Hospital opened its doors to
the first class of Internal Medicine
Residents from Florida Atlantic
University’s Charles E. Schmidt
College of Medicine in July of
2014, the welcoming extended
well beyond the halls of the
Hospital. Dozens of local civicminded individuals joined
together to create The Resident
Physician Community Partnership,
a unique program providing
social support and mentorship
to our medical residents and
their families.
Graduate Medical Education
is a demanding experience
for residents. Many of these
young men and women come
to Boca Raton, where they and
their families find themselves
in unfamiliar surroundings. This
factor, coupled with their arduous
schedule and the responsibilities
of a residency, can be especially
burdensome. The Partnership was
designed to provide assistance
to residents at Boca Regional
and help them acclimate to life in
South Florida.
Amid increasing demand
for medical care in our region,
especially primary care, The
Partnership aims to foster an
environment of support that goes
beyond the residents’ training
and helps to create and nurture a
special relationship that can have a
positive influence on their decision
as to where they will ultimately
choose to care for patients.
The Partnership connects a
diverse group of community
leaders and professionals to Boca
Regional’s medical residents and
maintains an ongoing relationship
with them.
In the final analysis, The
Partnership is truly a win-win
for everyone involved. The
community has come forward
to support these talented
physicians and the residents have
embraced and benefitted from this
extraordinary endeavor.
For more information about
The Partnership, please contact
theresidencyproject@gmail.com.
As part of the festivities surrounding
this year’s Marmot Boca Raton Bowl,
players and Head Coach Jason Candle
from the Toledo Rockets visited Boca

learned about the maternity unit from
our doctors, nurses and staff. On hand to
welcome these athletes and exceptional
young men was Boca Regional President

IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER,
this is a tumor’s
worst enemy
Boca Raton Regional Hospital Becomes Only Second Site
in U.S. to Offer New Radiation Oncology Technology
Offering new hope to patients with
tumors that were once considered
untreatable with surgery or
conventional radiation therapy, the
Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer
Institute (LCI) at Boca Raton Regional
Hospital is now utilizing the Accuray
CyberKnife® M6™ System with InCise2
technology. Boca Regional now joins
the renowned Hillman Cancer Center
at the University of Pittsburgh Medical
Center as the only two oncology
programs in the country to offer this
specific therapy.
Unlike other forms of radiosurgery,
this latest generation of the CyberKnife
offers an unprecedented ability to
precisely target tumors while sparing
damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
8 | M A K I N G R O U N D S | Winter 2016
What makes this version of the
CyberKnife so unique — and so
effective — is its ability to continuously
track and attack the tumor as it
shifts during therapy due to patient
movement or respiration.
“The InCise2 technology uses what
is called a Multileaf Collimator and
3D robotic navigation which allow us
to sculpt and re-sculpt the field of
radiation we are delivering throughout
the procedure and automatically
correct for any tumor movement,” said
Tim Williams, MD, Medical Director of
Radiation Oncology at LCI. “With other
systems, when the tumor moves you
have to stop the radiation, wait for the
mass to return to its original position,
and then restart the therapy.”
This combination of exquisite
accuracy and the ability to adjust to
tumor motion allows the radiation
therapy team to carry out the
procedure with the highest level of
precision. The System’s advanced
maneuverability also offers complete
access and coverage for any tumor size
or shape, even in anatomically difficult
areas. In turn, these capabilities enable
the delivery of higher radiation doses
resulting in a reduced number of
total treatments and a reduction in
the individual treatment time from 60
minutes or more with prior versions of
the CyberKnife to less than 30 minutes
with the M6 InCise2 technology.
Therapy is usually completed in one
to five days versus weeks with more
conventional radiation systems.
“This generation of CyberKnife is truly
the state-of-the-art in radiation therapy,”
commented Dr. Williams. “In addition to
its tremendous efficacy, the procedure
requires no anesthesia, no recovery
time, no overnight hospital stay and
no restrictive positioning devices that
are used in other technologies. As you
can imagine, these are all tremendous
patient and family satisfiers.”
Dr. Williams noted that the CyberKnife
at LCI is presently being used to treat
malignant and non-malignant tumors
of the prostate, lung, brain, spine, liver,
pancreas, kidney, bone and eye. Even
if patients have already undergone
radiation, surgery or chemotherapy —
or are currently undergoing treatment
— they still may be candidates
for the CyberKnife
system and should
consult their
physician.
It is covered by
most insurance
plans.
“CyberKnife now completes
a spectrum of therapies
at the Lynn Cancer Institute that
is among the most sophisticated
in the country,” commented
Dr. Williams. “Patients in the region
should feel most confident in these
capabilities and the benefits we can
afford them in their treatment needs.”
For more information about Lynn Cancer Institute's CyberKnife® M6™
System with InCise2 technology, call 561.955.4000.

Raising The Bar
PHILANTHROPY MAKES AWARD-WINNING SERVICES POSSIBLE
The community’s rich tradition of
philanthropy continues to make Boca
Regional’s amazing growth and awardwinning programs possible. As a not-forprofit institution, the Hospital’s level of
care and transformation would simply
not be possible in today’s healthcare
environment without the generous
support of the community.
Recently, the Foundation utilized
gifts to fund patient care services, such
as the world’s smallest microscope,
enabling physicians to see individual
cells during endoscopies, allowing
them to examine suspicious areas
16 | M A K I N G R O U N D S | Winter 2016
without invasive surgery; programs,
services and equipment for the Marcus
Neuroscience Institute; construction
of the new Christine E. Lynn Women’s
Health & Wellness Institute and the
Gloria Drummond Physical Rehabilitation
Institute; the CINDY Program for
terminally ill patients and their families
at the Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn
Cancer Institute; the CyberKnife® M6™
with InCise2 technology, the newest
generation of radiation technology;
the minimally invasive robotic surgery
program; clinical research programs
and scholarships for nurses and medical
students.
In addition, support for the Hospital’s
signature events, including the Annual
Go Pink Luncheon, Annual Golf
Tournament and Annual Hospital Ball,
raised almost $2 million this past year.
Gifts are used to enhance patient
care programs and services, purchase
new technology and recruit the finest
physicians, and every dollar stays right
here to benefit the community.
To find out how your gift will truly
make a difference, please contact
the Foundation at 561.955.4142. All
of us at Boca Regional, our patients
and their families, thank you for your
generosity and compassion.
