Fall 2010 Powerful Friends News From Your Broward Health Foundation F O U N D A THealth ION Broward Foundation Receives $100,000 from Hyundai Hope on Wheels FOUNDATION Attending the Hyundai Hope on Wheels check presentation ceremony was (l to r) Traci Allyn Shur, director of major gifts and planned giving for the Broward Health Foundation; John Hyland, Hyundai Regional Representative; Rita Frantz, director of Nursing, Women & Children; and Jamey Thaw, CEO, Broward General Medical Center & Chris Evert Children’s Hospital. The Broward Health Foundation recently received a $100,000 “Hope Grant” from Hyundai Hope on Wheels to benefit pediatric cancer patients at Broward Health Chris Evert Children’s Hospital. The donation was made during September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and will be used to hire one full-time Child Life Specialist and one part-time Clinical Nurse Specialist in the Pediatric Cancer Center. These two positions are critical in the treatment and recovery of pediatric cancer patients as they provide psychosocial support and child-focused education to children with cancer, as well as support and education to the child’s family members. Hyundai Motor America and its dealers joined the fight against childhood cancer in 1998 and created Hyundai Hope on Wheels. This year, Hope on Wheels donated more than $23 million to fight childhood cancer. “This grant will have a tremendous impact on us here at Chris Evert Children’s Hospital,” said Jamey Thaw, CEO of Broward General Medical Center and Chris Evert Children’s Hospital. “It will greatly improve the lives of our patients during their hospital visits and beyond.” Child Life Specialist Katie Anderson and patient Sarah Rao, 7, attend the check presentation event. A special thank you from the patients of Chris Evert Children’s Hospital. BrowardHealthFoundation.org A Message from Michael S. Long President/CEO Broward Health Foundation I would like to take this opportunity to offer a special thank you to everyone who has donated to the Broward Health Foundation over the past year. In this issue, you will find several pages of individuals, companies, organizations and employees that have generously contributed to the Broward Health Foundation. In these tough economic times, charitable contributions are even more critical to the health of our community, and I commend our donors for recognizing the importance of giving during challenging times. Over the past several years, the number of individuals and families that are uninsured has dramatically increased. Yet, they still have the same health care needs as everyone else. Helping our community is a shared responsibility that benefits all of us. In addition to our annual list of donors, in this issue you will also read about Drew Grossman, the new CEO at Coral Springs Medical Center; how Panera Bread is partnering with the Foundation to raise much-needed funds for Chris Evert Children’s Hosptial; about the specialized programs of the Memory Disorder Center at North Broward Medical Center; and much more. With the holidays right around the corner, now might be a perfect time to recognize someone special in your life. When you make a donation of this type, a personalized card will be sent to the person or family informing them of your contribution. More information about this type of giving can be found on page 14, and for your convenience, a giving envelope is also included in this newsletter. Thank you again to everyone who has donated financially or given of their time to the Broward Health Foundation. I hope that you continue to partner with us as we move into the next decade of providing the highest-quality healthcare to the residents of South Florida. A Message from Frank Nask President/CEO, Broward Health As friends of Broward Health and the Broward Health Foundation, your support is vital to helping us provide for the healthcare needs of our community. Last year, when it became evident that our operating environment and our funding to care for the poor and the uninsured would undergo dramatic changes due to federal healthcare reform, the Board of Commissioners asked administrators to begin exploring options to ensure our continued ability to provide healthcare to Broward residents long into the future. Based on those findings, various options for the structure of Broward Health were discussed and it was recently recommended that Broward Health explore the option of a possible transition to a 501(c)(3), a community not-for-profit corporation. Under that model, all assets and profits remain in Broward County to support jobs and community reinvestment. As with any proposed change or transition, there are concerns and issues which must be examined and addressed. We are in the process of identifying and examining issues related to access to care, impact on our workforce and impact on medical staff. We are also obtaining feedback from the general public, employees and physicians and evaluating the detailed impact and financial analyses as well as hiring experts to evaluate specific impact areas – such as malpractice and pensions. Since 1982 more than 20 hospitals in Florida have transitioned from public management to private management. This kind of transition is allowed, even encouraged, by Florida law to allow public hospitals to compete with for-profit hospitals while providing quality health care. 6th Annual Race for Women’s Wellness Broward Health Coral Springs Medical Center is gearing up for its 6th Annual Race for Women’s Wellness set for Saturday, February 12.

Photo by © Steven Brooke Studios. A new outpatient surgery center recently opened at Broward Health Imperial Point Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale. Nearly two years ago when a nearby hospital closed, Imperial Point Medical Center (IPMC) experienced an influx of surgery requests and requests for medical staff privileges by the displaced surgeons. In response to this need, IPMC purchased 12,260 square feet of space to create a surgery center in the new Medical Arts Pavilion located just east of the hospital. “With an already robust surgery schedule at Imperial Point Medical Center, we needed to meet the needs of local surgeons and the community…and anambulatory surgery center was the answer,” said Calvin Glidewell, CEO at IPMC. “The surgery center can accommodate approximately 500 surgical cases monthly.” The $4.5 million Imperial Point Surgery Center has four dedicated surgical suites and a nonsurgical laser room. Two suites are dedicated to ophthalmic and retinal surgeries. There is a laser procedure room for non invasive laser eye procedures. The “eye suites” have state-of-the-art cataract and retina equipment, lasers and microscopes. The hospital’s surgical team of nurses and technicians that specialize in ophthalmology cases now work at the Surgery Center to deliver the same level of care and expertise provided by the hospital. IPMC performs more retinal surgeries than any other hospital in Broward County. Among the eye conditions treated and surgeries performed at the Center are retinal detachment and reattachment, macular degeneration, cataract surgery with lens implants, corneal transplants, sutureless vitrectomies, macular hole and pterygium. Other features of the Imperial Point Surgery Center include: • • • • Board certified ophthalmologists who specialize in corneal, retinal, glaucoma and cataracts Dedicated support team specializing in ophthalmology cases Comfortable waiting areas Easy parking and first floor entry In September, the Surgery Center began performing various urologic and pain management procedures. Kidney stones can now be treated with the “extracoporal shockwave lithotripsy” machine – a non invasive surgical technique. Pain procedures are performed with the addition of a C-arm X-ray and table. “Patients referred to the Imperial Point Surgery Center can expect the same imperial treatment experienced inside the hospital,” said Dr. Manuel Longo, MD, Lead Anesthesiologist at the Imperial Point Surgery Center. “The soothing, modern environment is also very impressive.” 12 Powerful Friends Fall 2010 Broward Health Foundation Fast Facts: Your donations enable us to continue to provide the highest-quality healthcare while also helping to make patients as comfortable as possible during their hospital stay.

Panera Bread Rises to the Challenge The Broward Health Foundation would like to thank Panera Bread for their active and ongoing commitment to Chris Evert Children’s Hospital. Over the past year, all nine Panera Bread stores located throughout Broward County have participated in projects that have raised money for the children’s hospital. Whether it’s their Pick Two promotion where customers save $1 off their meal and a $1 donation is given to Chris Evert Children’s Hospital or their recent “Cinnamon Crunch for Kids” bagel campaign, Panera is making a significant impact in our local community. In March and April, Chris Evert Children’s Hospital was the beneficiary of Panera’s “Operation Dough-Nation” campaign which encourages customers to drop their change into the Community Breadbox located at the store’s registers. Chris Evert Children’s Hospital will once again be the beneficiary of this campaign during the month of December. “Panera Bread prides itself in being an excellent partner to the important causes in the communities where our restaurants are and our employees live and work,” said Sam Covelli, President and CEO of Covelli Enterprises. “The Chris Evert Children’s Hospital is a perfect fit for our mission. Any time our company can help positively affect the lives of children it is our honor to help,” he added. To download a Pick Two flyer that allows you to save money at Panera Bread while raising funds for Chris Evert Children’s Hospital, please visit the Foundation’s website at www.browardhealthfoundation.org. 14 Powerful Friends Fall 2010 Broward Health Foundation Did You Forget Something? Everyone at one point or another has forgotten where they put their keys, or forgotten a person’s name or maybe a favorite restaurant or movie. But when memory loss starts to affect an individual’s daily activities, it’s time to see a specialist. A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to determine the cause of memory loss. The key is to find the proper diagnosis to determine the appropriate treatment. “If you are forgetting things and it’s becoming worse, do not chalk it up to simply getting older,” says Dr. H. Murray Todd, a neurologist and Medical Director of the Neurological Institute at Broward Health North Broward Medical Center. Memory loss can have many causes, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke or other neurological disorders, depression, thyroid imbalance and nutritional or metabolic disorders. When a patient is diagnosed with a memory disorder, every family member is affected, especially the caregiver. Through specialized programs at the Memory Disorder Center at North Broward Medical Center, patients are offered a complete network of assistance for them as well as their family or caregiver. The Memory Disorder Center is part of the Neurological Institute at North Broward Medical Center and offers evaluation and treatment for various neurological disorders.
