2012 Annual Report I s sue

Dear Friends, It is our sincere pleasure to share with you our special Annual Report issue of Phelps Today. In addition to the magazine’s usual features on health topics, this special issue presents the year’s highlights and conveys our thanks to all the members of our community who helped Phelps accomplish its mission in 2012. Through the extraordinary generosity of our supporters and record-breaking participation in our 25th Anniversary Champagne Ball, almost $2.2 million was raised to enhance Phelps programs. With this support and our strong financial performance, Phelps is well-positioned to adapt to the changes that are on the horizon for healthcare in our country, while investing in new technology and programs. It was the support of our community that enabled us to build a new, significantly expanded Emergency Department in 2008, one so extraordinary that it became a model for other hospitals throughout the region. It has been exceptionally well received by residents in our area, and the number of visits have increased dramatically. Last year, over 27,000 patients were cared for in the Phelps Emergency Department – 20% more than in 2007. As always, care is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Over the past year, Phelps demonstrated how a community hospital can improve healthcare both here at home and throughout the world. For example: • For the third year in a row, the Phelps Stroke Center received the highest level of recognition – the Gold Plus Achievement Award – from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association for its ability to provide aggressive, top-quality stroke care according to AHA/ASA guidelines. • Phelps was designated as a NICHE hospital (Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders), recognizing our commitment to the care of older adults. • Phelps welcomed six physicians into the inaugural class of the Family Medicine Residency Program, the first such program to be established in New York State since 1995. By 2014, there will be 18 physicians in the program who will ultimately help meet the growing need for primary care doctors in the U.S. • Phelps physicians and educators share their knowledge and expertise with people from throughout the world. Training programs were provided to emergency medical professionals in Bhutan and to students from Japan and Australia who visited our Center for Emergency Education. Children in Ecuador received life-changing surgeries thanks to a Phelps physician’s participation in a surgical mission. We are pleased to report that Phelps recently received approval from New York State for the development of a state-of-the-art inpatient and ambulatory surgery center. The spacious facility will be outfitted with the most technologically advanced equipment and will provide an optimal surgical environment for our physicians and their patients. As we move forward in 2013, there are exciting developments under way and we hope you will be a part of them. We invite you to partner with us and support healthcare in your community with a gift to Phelps. Your gift will be an investment in the quality of life of your family, your neighbors and our region. The enclosed envelope can be used to mail your gift or you can make a donation at www.phelpshospital.org. We are grateful to all of you who have chosen to entrust your care to Phelps and to the many loyal and generous supporters who ensure that Phelps continues to provide extraordinary care in our community. Best wishes for a healthy, enjoyable spring. Sincerely,

Andrew C. Merryman Chair, Board of Directors

Phelps Offers New Treatment for Severe Asthma

M

ore than 24 million Americans live with asthma, a respiratory disease that causes the airways in the lungs to constrict and makes it difficult to breathe. For people with asthma, this condition can significantly impact their quality of life and in some cases can be life threatening. Although there is no permanent cure for asthma, it can typically be managed with medications.

“It is exciting to be able to offer this new non-pharmacological state-of-the-art procedure at Phelps that helps improve the

For people who have severe, persistent asthma, however, this condition is particularly debilitating. Their asthma may not be well controlled even though they are taking the highest doses of asthma medications available. The lungs consist of multiple airway passages surrounded by smooth muscle. Due to chronic inflammation and spasm, the smooth muscle in the airway passages of asthma sufferers can be thicker than in people without asthma. This narrowing of the airways increases resistance to normal airflow in the lungs and leads to the well-

known symptoms of wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath. A new FDA-approved treatment for people 18 and older with severe asthma that is not controlled by medications is now available at Phelps – the only facility in the Hudson Valley to offer it. The procedure, called bronchial thermoplasty, uses radiofrequency energy to reduce the thickness of the smooth muscle in the airway and limit its ability to contract and narrow the airway. The Phelps pulmonologists trained in this treatment are Alex Fijman, MD, and Laurence Miller, MD. “Throughout my years of practicing pulmonary medicine, I have often been frustrated when severely asthmatic patients under my care continue to have frequent exacerbations requiring ER visits despite being on maximum doses of medications, including high-dose steroids, which can cause significant side effects,” says Dr. Laurence Miller. “It is exciting to now

be able to offer this new non-pharmacological, state-of-the-art procedure at Phelps. It has no side effects and helps improve the quality of life for these patients.” Dr. Alex Fijman concurs, “I am very pleased to be able to participate with Phelps in introducing this revolutionary and potentially life-changing new therapy to patients throughout Westchester, who benefit from having access to this cuttingedge option close to home.” During the procedure, which is normally done in an outpatient setting under moderate sedation, a bronchoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera at the end) is introduced into the patient’s lungs through the nose. A catheter is then inserted through the bronchoscope, where

it delivers radiofrequency energy to the airway walls, reducing the narrowing of the airways due to smooth muscle. Bronchial thermoplasty is administered in three separate treatments, scheduled approximately three weeks apart. Each treatment lasts from 30-60 minutes. The technology used is called the Alair System, which is manufactured by Boston Scientific. The treatment is not a cure for asthma, but patients usually find they can take their asthma medications less frequently. Most importantly, bronchial thermoplasty has been shown to reduce the severity of asthma attacks, visits to the emergency room, and time lost from work, school and other daily activities.

Alex Fijman, MD, pulmonologist, is board certified in internal medicine, pulmonary disease and critical care. He received his medical degree from New York Medical College and completed a residency and fellowship at Stony Brook University Medical Center in Stony Brook, NY. Dr. Fijman’s private practice is in Ossining (914-762-4141).

Laurence Miller, MD, pulmonologist, is board certified in internal medicine, pulmonary disease and critical care. He received his medical degree from SUNY Health Science Center in Syracuse. He completed an internship and residency in internal medicine at New York University Medical Center and a fellowship in pulmonary medicine and critical care at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. He has been in practice in Westchester since 1999.  His private office is in Ardsley (914-231-7666).  Image provided courtesy of Boston Scientific Corporation.

Sinusitis:

Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options

C

hronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), also known as sinusitis, is a major health problem in the United States, affecting up to 12.5% of the population or an estimated 39 million people each year. It substantially decreases a person’s quality of life and day-to-day productivity, causing lost work days and missed school days, and can result in substantial healthcare costs for over-thecounter and prescription medications.

Sinusitis can be caused by factors such as an individual’s anatomy or immune system or reaction to the environment.

6

Phelps Today

Simply put, sinusitis is inflammation (swelling and irritation) of the lining of the nasal passages and sinuses, the air-filled spaces under the eyes in the cheeks, over the eyes in the forehead, and between the eyes. While the bones of the face in these regions may feel solid, they are actually hollow spaces. There are a number of factors (either alone or in combination) that can lead to sinusitis, including an individual’s anatomy, the effect of the environment on the lining of the nasal passage and sinuses (such as environmental allergies), and the patient’s immune system. In addition, approximately 20% of patients with sinusitis have nasal polyps, which

are benign, mucus-producing, inflamed growths of the lining of the nasal cavity and sinuses.

Symptoms of Sinusitis Patients with sinusitis commonly have a combination of the following symptoms: • Discolored nasal discharge or postnasal discharge dripping from the back of the nose into the throat • Nasal obstruction or congestion • Facial pain or pressure • Reduced or absent sense of smell or taste Less commonly, patients may also complain of the following symptoms: • Headache • Fatigue and irritability • Bad breath or foul smell in the nose • Fevers • Persistent sneezing or coughing • Hoarseness (change in voice quality) • Sore throat

• Tooth pain, tingling, or numbness • Ear symptoms such as fullness, pressure, or hearing loss

Diagnosis Because each of the symptoms listed above can also be caused by a variety of other health issues, sinusitis is largely diagnosed based on the history, timing, and combination of symptoms, in addition to a physical exam. The physical exam includes an internal examination of the nose and sinuses with a very thin telescope that allows the doctor to examine these areas in great detail. This procedure can be easily performed in the office setting, with minimal to no discomfort to the patient, and reveals important information regarding the presence or absence of inflammation, anatomic deformities, nasal polyps, and mucus and/ or pus in the sinuses. Based on the history provided and the exam findings, imaging studies such as a computed tomography (CT) scan, or further examination such as allergy testing, may also be recommended.

through the nostrils and usually on an outpatient basis, with patients going home the same day. During the procedure, an endoscope (a long, thin rigid telescope with a light and video camera) is inserted into the nose to visualize the inside of the nasal cavity and sinuses. This allows the surgeon to pass specialized surgical instruments through the nostrils to perform the surgery. Most patients experience a major relief in symptoms after surgery, including decreased facial pain and swelling, and decreased nasal congestion.

Do you have sinusitis? Take the test on the following page to find out how it is affecting your quality of life.

Treatment The treatment of sinusitis can vary greatly depending on the cause of the patient’s disease. It may range from simple nasal irrigation with saline (salt water) to a variety of prescription nasal sprays and oral medications, including antibiotics if there is active infection. While most patients can be treated with medications only, if a patient experiences a complication due to a sinus infection or is not improving after trying the treatments listed above, surgery is typically considered. If surgery is indicated for recurring or persistent sinus infections, it is performed using a minimally invasive technique called “endoscopic sinus surgery” to remove the blockages of the sinuses. The surgery does not require external incisions on the face, and does not alter the appearance of the nose. The whole procedure is performed

Understanding Hernias

J

Your surgeon’s skill and the type of hernia operation you have will influence the time it takes for you to recover and, more importantly, whether the hernia will recur.

im felt a lump in his lower abdomen as he showered one morning and thought there was something seriously wrong. He went to see his doctor that afternoon and told him he was sure he had a tumor. The doctor examined the lump and laughingly told him, “You don’t have a tumor, Jim, you have a hernia.” According to the National Center for Health Statistics, USA, approximately 5 million Americans have a hernia but only about 750,000 of them seek treatment each year. It is estimated that 800,000 people develop a new abdominal hernia annually.

What is a Hernia? Our organs are held in place by a wall of muscle and tissue. If a weakness develops in that wall, the organ it protects may push through it, creating a bulge called a hernia. Some hernias are present at birth, some come on suddenly and others develop slowly over months or years. Hernias are usually not life-threatening but can be if they become strangulated. Hernias will never go away without surgical attention.

pregnancy and weight gain. Sometimes muscle weakness is present at birth and worsens with time.

Symptoms The most common symptom of an inguinal hernia is pain, with or without a lump in the groin. The lump is more easily felt when standing and seems to disappear when lying down. Pain is especially noticeable when bending, lifting or coughing. There may also be a burning, aching or feeling of heaviness in the groin area.

Risk Factors Factors that increase the risk of developing a hernia include: • a personal or family history of hernias • being overweight or obese • chronic constipation • a chronic cough • smoking (which can trigger a chronic cough)

Inguinal Hernias There are a number of different types of hernias, but by far the most common is the inguinal hernia, accounting for about 70 percent of all hernias. When an inguinal hernia develops, abdominal contents can protrude through a weakness or tear in the lower abdominal wall. The resulting bulge usually can be seen and felt in the groin region.

Causes: Muscle Weakness, Strain or Congenital Weakness in a muscle may be due to an injury, chronic coughing, surgery or age. Straining is associated with lifting heavy objects, sneezing or coughing, constipation, Laparoscopic surgeon Har Chi Lau, MD

abdomen or groin when you stand, cough or strain. Sometimes, what seems to be a hernia is actually a muscle pull or groin sprain. Even a hip problem can mimic the symptoms of a hernia. A physician experienced in treating hernias has the expertise to tell the difference.

Treatment When a hernia is small and not causing pain, treatment may consist of being careful not to strain and having your doctor look at it periodically. Once a hernia becomes large or painful, however, surgery is usually the best option.

I perform laparoscopic hernia surgery,” says laparoscopic surgeon Dr. Har Chi Lau, Medical Director of the Phelps Hernia Center, “I do everything with one hand, so only two incisions are needed – one for the camera and one for my hand.” The tear in the muscle is repaired with surgical mesh. Preferring not to use the standard-sized mesh, Dr. Lau customizes the mesh size and shape to fit each patient exactly. This tailor-made fit ensures that the repair is solid, which is why hernia recurrence is rare among Dr. Lau’s patients.

Surgery Preventing Hernias It isn’t always possible to prevent the muscle weakness that leads to the occurrence of a hernia, but it is possible to reduce strain, which will help to avoid a hernia or keep an existing one from getting worse. The following suggestions may help to reduce strain: • do not lift weights that are too heavy for you • when lifting, bend your knees, keep your back straight, and tighten your abdomen • maintain a healthy body weight • avoid straining during bowel movements or urination • see your doctor when you have a bad cold or flu to avoid developing a persistent cough

Diagnosis If you suspect that you have developed a hernia, a visit to your primary care physician or a hernia specialist is recommended. The doctor will diagnose an inguinal hernia by feeling for a bulge in your

Your surgeon’s skill and the type of hernia operation you have will influence the time it takes for you to recover and, more importantly, whether the hernia will recur. There are two common surgical approaches: minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery or old-fashioned open surgery. Open surgery involves larger incisions, more stitches, more trauma to surrounding tissue, and a longer recovery period than minimally invasive surgery. With laparoscopic surgery, the hernia is repaired through small incisions, and the procedure can take as little as 15 minutes. Laparoscopic surgery uses a tiny camera and specialized surgical skill. It is often an outpatient procedure, and patients are able to return to their normal activities quickly. Laparoscopic surgery requires less anesthesia than open surgery and has less pain, less risk for infection and less scarring. A typical laparoscopic hernia operation involves 4 small incisions – one for the camera and three through which the hands perform the procedure. “When

The Phelps Hernia Center, under the medical direction of Har Chi Lau, MD, offers patients expert diagnosis and specialized treatment for hernias. Dr. Lau is a board-certified surgeon with expertise in minimally invasive surgery. Before entering medical school, Dr. Lau attended the Nuclear Engineering Graduate Program at the University of Wisconsin and was Resident Assistant at the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Wisconsin. He went on to earn his medical degree from the Medical College of Pennsylvania and completed his surgery residency and internship at Allegheny University Hospital. He also conducted surgical research on wound healing during his residency. The Phelps Hernia Center is located on the Phelps campus (1-888-888-2311).

The program’s Patient Care Fund, for example, enables Hospice patients to enjoy complementary care services, provides additional home health aide coverage, and offers financial support for those in need.

Phelps Hospice Celebrates 30 Years of Service

T

his year Phelps Hospice, the oldest hospice in Westchester County, is celebrating its 30th year of providing compassionate end-of-life care to area residents and their families. Over the past 30 years, the program has grown tremendously. In 1983 it was staffed by one full-time social worker/director and a medical director, who cared for 37 patients and their families. Last year, 32 full- and part-time employees as well as 40 volunteers provided care to 278 patients and their families – an average of 53 patients every day. The philosophy of Phelps Hospice has always adhered to the following principles: that end-of-life care should include the patient and the family; that controlling distressing symptoms, such as pain, improves quality of life; and that each person has a right to choices with regard to end-of-life care. “For 30 years, we’ve committed to a personal touch for all of our clients, with our staff available around the clock,” says Dr. Bruce Heckman, medical director and Phelps Hospice founder. “At the end of the day, it’s about being there when people need you.”

How Hospice Works When an individual has a terminal illness – typically with a life expectancy of six months or less – he or she is eligible for hospice care. At Phelps, an interdisciplinary team – including a medical director, nurses, social workers, home health

aides, spiritual counselors, nutritionists, therapists and volunteers – works with the patient’s physician to develop a plan of individualized care that will meet the needs of both the patient and the family. Most often patients receive hospice care in their own home. Services a patient may receive while on hospice include: medication for pain and symptom management, social work support, chaplain visits to support spiritual needs, nursing care for ongoing assessment of distressing symptoms and nutrition advice from a dietitian regarding the most appropriate diet. Complementary care such as music, art and massage therapy may be offered. Phelps Hospice volunteers play a significant role in the day-to-day comfort of Hospice patients. Volunteers read and talk to patients, give haircuts, shop, help them create biographical booklets, and even help with housework. Perhaps the most comforting aspect of Phelps Hospice care is that in most cases patients are able to remain in the familiar surroundings of their home. When patients experience acute illness requiring hospitalization, they can be admitted to Phelps, where the hospice team remains involved to ensure that there is continuity of care and family support

The Patient Care Fund Also invaluable to the hospice program are the donors who give financial support.

“Phelps Hospice helps lessen the pain that patients and families are experiencing. That is the core mission of Hospice,” Dr. Heckman says. “We take a holistic approach, addressing physical pain, but we also do all we can to ease spiritual, emotional and even economic pain.”

Bereavement Support Another integral part of Phelps Hospice is bereavement support services. Bereavement counselors stay in touch with survivors for more than a year after their loved one’s death. Hospice bereavement staff offers individual and family counseling, support groups, outreach, referrals and workshops. All bereavement services are available to the community-at-large, even if the deceased family member was not a Hospice patient.

Starting Hospice When It Helps the Most Wanda Cope Orton, RN, MBA, Director of Phelps Hospice, points out that although hospice services are routinely covered by most insurance companies and Medicare for six months of care, the trend over the past few years has been that people are on hospice for much shorter periods of time. “There are so many treatments available today that people need help understanding the risks and benefits of treating or not treating,” says Orton. Fortunately, a New York State law called the New York Palliative Care Information Act that went into effect in 2011 ensures that patients and their families have the information they need to make decisions about care. The law directs all primary care physicians and nurse practitioners to provide information and counseling—either verbally or in writing—to patients who are diagnosed with a serious or terminal illness. Medical providers are required to initiate this conversation and to spend the time necessary to educate patients and their families so that the treatment choices they make are informed choices. The conversation must include a detailed prognosis and the patient’s options for care.

“One of our challenges is to help patients understand that choosing treatment makes sense only when there is more benefit than risk. For some people, the word ‘hospice’ has come to mean that you’ve given up, or that something will be taken away from you, but that’s not true,” says Orton. “Coming under hospice does not mean that we do not treat. It’s really focused only on beneficial treatments. Our focus in on helping patients and families to make informed decisions that will provide the highest quality of life for all of a person’s life.” In fact, Orton notes, hospice professionals frequently hear from patients and their families that they wish they had known more about hospice care and received it earlier. “When patients come on hospice at the last minute, they miss out on the support and the many services that are available for symptom control and a better quality of life,” says Orton.

The Profound Difference That Hospice Makes According to Dr. Heckman, one of the most rewarding aspects of working in hospice is the far-reaching, long-term effect that hospice care can have. “The people we touch – not just the patients, but their friends, spouses, and children – learn to cope with trouble, grief and stress,” Dr. Heckman says. “The deepening of relationships and coming to peace with their own lives ultimately enables survivors to be better parents, spouses, friends and even business colleagues.” Reflecting on Phelps Hospice’s 30 years of service, the staff has a sense of pride at being able to bring care into the homes of patients and their families throughout Westchester County. “People want to be at home when they know their time is short, not in a hospital room,” Orton says. “They want to be with their family and in control of their life. They want to spend their last days living to their fullest capacity. They want to look out their window and see kids getting off the bus, coming home from school.”

“This Sunday afternoon of great jazz has grown ever-more popular over the years,” says Dr. Bruce Heckman, life-long jazz aficionado and medical director of the Phelps Hospice program. “It’s a relaxed atmosphere in an intimate theater setting where people can share their love of jazz with top-flight performers.” Concertgoers are in for a very special treat when Oscar Perez and band perform his original composition, “The Afropean Suite,” commissioned by Chamber Music America. In three movements, the piece premiered at the Jazz Gallery in NYC and the OSPAC Jazz Festival in New Jersey in September 2009. After many performances at venues such as Zinc Bar, Kitano, Iridium and various jazz festivals, the suite was finished and recorded in November 2010. Christian Sands is an emerging jazz force who takes a fresh look at the entire language of jazz: stride, swing, bebop, progressive, fusion, Brazilian and AfroCuban.  He says, “My music is about teaching the way of jazz and keeping it alive.” He has shared the stage with a long list of jazz luminaries such as trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. Sands has performed as a member of renowned jazz bassist Christian McBride’s trio and quintet group “Inside Straight” and will appear on McBride’s newest trio album to be released in 2013.  Grammy award-winning vocalist Melissa Walker will be adding her voice to the Oscar Perez piece and in duets with Christian Sands. Walker has enjoyed a wide and varied career as a jazz vocalist, with performances at the Kennedy Center Women in Jazz Festival, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, Joe’s Pub and The Jazz Standard in Manhattan.She has opened for the legendary Ray Charles and performed with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra led by Wynton Marsalis at the Duke Ellington Centennial Celebration. Concert tickets at $35 each may be obtained online at www.irvingtontheater.com or by calling the Irvington Town Hall Theater box office at 914-591-6602.

High Heart Disease Risk Found in Public Safety Personnel

visits at the end of three months won a $500 donation provided by the Heart and Health Education Foundation, which Dr. Zimmerman heads with his partners and fellow Phelps cardiologists Arthur Fass, MD, and Dina Katz, MD. The department with the highest average number of visits at the end of 2013 will receive a $1,000 donation. Dr. Zimmerman is hopeful that the program will be so successful in the Westchester area that it can be expanded and serve as a model across the country. “When I spoke to the Westchester County Chiefs of Police Association earlier this year, the feedback was tremendous,” he said. “They recognize the need to keep their officers fit and healthy as a very important part of their commitment to public safety.” In addition to his professional interest in the health of the nation’s first responders, Dr. Zimmerman has a personal interest because his sister, Shelley Zimmerman, is Assistant Chief of Police for the City of San Diego. “She is also a triathlete and trains regularly,” said Dr. Zimmerman, “so I’ve had lots of support for this program in the family and through my sister’s connections nationally.”

A

study recently conducted by Phelps cardiologist Franklin Zimmerman, MD, revealed that public safety personnel are at a higher risk of heart disease than the general public. His findings were published in Cardiology in Review and presented at a meeting of the International Association of Chiefs of Police held in San Diego in October. These findings inspired Dr. Zimmerman to partner with Club Fit to initiate “Chief’s Challenge,” a program that encourages fitness among members of local police and fire departments by inviting them to participate in an exercise program to improve their health and wellness. The program started January 1 at Club Fit facilities in Jefferson Valley and Briarcliff Manor.

“The study showed that law enforcement personnel are at a high risk for heart disease. They have a high prevalence for cardiac risk factors, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cigarette smoking, psychological stress and a sedentary lifestyle,” said Dr. Zimmerman. “Both police officers and firemen need to be encouraged to build their own personal health, beginning with a regular exercise program.” The “Chief’s Challenge” began with a free three-month membership at Club Fit for all interested police and fire personnel in Westchester and surrounding counties. At the end of the first three months, continued membership was available at half-price. The departments with the highest average club

Dr. Franklin Zimmerman, Senior Attending Cardiologist and Director of Critical Care at Phelps, lectures regularly on cardiovascular health and related emergencies to EMTs and other first responders at the hospital’s Hoch Center for Emergency Education. He and his partners are all members of Club Fit Briarcliff and can be seen exercising at the club nearly every day, practicing what they preach to their patients about a healthy lifestyle. Their office is located in Briarcliff Manor (914762-5810).

Phelps ofrece nuevo tratamiento para el asma grave

M

ás de 24 millones de estadounidenses viven con asma, una enfermedad respiratoria que ocasiona que las vías respiratorias en los pulmones se contraigan y haciendo que sea difícil respirar. Para las personas con asma, esta enfermedad puede afectar significativamente su calidad de vida y en algunos casos puede ser poner en peligro la vida. Aunque no existe una cura permanente para el asma, por lo general se puede controlar con medicamentos.

Es excelente poder ofrecer en Phelps un nuevo procedimiento no farmacológico de vanguardia que ayuda a mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes

Para las personas que tienen asma grave y persistente, sin embargo, esta enfermedad es particularmente debilitante. Su asma puede no estar bien controlada, a pesar de que están tomando las dosis más altas disponibles de medicamentos para el asma. Los pulmones consisten de múltiples vías respiratorias rodeadas por músculo liso. Debido a la inflamación crónica y el espasmo, el músculo liso de las vías respiratorias de los enfermos de asma puede

ser más grueso que en personas sin asma. El estrechamiento resultante de las vías respiratorias aumenta la resistencia al flujo de aire normal en los pulmones y lleva a los síntomas conocidos de sibilancias, tos y falta de aire. Un nuevo tratamiento aprobado por la FDA para las personas mayores de 18 años con asma grave no controlada con medicamentos, ya está disponible en Phelps, el único lugar en el Valle de Hudson que lo ofrece. El procedimiento, llamado termoplastia bronquial, utiliza energía de radiofrecuencia para reducir el grosor del músculo liso en las vías respiratorias y limitar su capacidad para contraerse y estrechar las vías respiratorias. Los neumólogos de Phelps entrenados en este tratamiento son Alex Fijman, MD y Laurence Miller, MD. “A lo largo de mis años de práctica de la medicina pulmonar, a menudo me he sentido frustrado cuando los pacientes severamente asmáticos bajo mi cuidado

siguen teniendo frecuentes exacerbaciones que requieren visitas a la sala de urgencias a pesar de estar tomando dosis máximas de medicamentos, incluyendo esteroides a dosis altas, que pueden causar efectos secundarios significativos”, dice el Dr. Laurence Miller.  “Es my importante estar ahora en condiciones de ofrecer este nuevo y moderno procedimiento no farmacológico en Phelps. No tiene efectos secundarios y ayuda a mejorar la calidad de vida de estos pacientes”. El Dr. Alex Fijman coincide: “Estoy muy contento de poder participar con Phelps en la introducción de este nuevo tratamiento revolucionario que potencialmente representará un cambio de vida para los pacientes en todo Westchester, que se benefician de tener acceso a esta moderna opción cerca de casa”. Durante el procedimiento, que se realiza normalmente en un ambiente ambulatorio bajo sedación moderada, un broncoscopio (un tubo delgado y flexible con una cámara en el extremo) se introduce

en los pulmones del paciente a través de la nariz. Un catéter se inserta a través del broncoscopio, donde administra energía de radiofrecuencia a las paredes de las vías respiratorias, reduciendo el estrechamiento de las vías respiratorias causado por el músculo liso. La termoplastia bronquial se administra en tres tratamientos separados, programados aproximadamente con tres semanas de diferencia. Cada tratamiento dura entre 30 y 60 minutos. La tecnología utilizada se llama Sistema Alair, que es fabricado por Boston Scientific. El tratamiento no es una cura para el asma, pero los pacientes por lo general encuentran que pueden tomar sus medicamentos para el asma con menor frecuencia. Más importante aún, se ha demostrado que la termoplastia bronquial reduce la severidad de los ataques de asma, las visitas a la sala de urgencias y el tiempo perdido en el trabajo, la escuela y otras actividades diarias.

Alex Fijman, MD, neumólogo, está certificado en medicina interna, enfermedades pulmonares y cuidados intensivos. Recibió su título de medicina en New York Medical College y completó su residencia y fellowship en Stony Brook University Medical Center, en Stony Brook, Nueva York. La práctica privada del Dr. Fijman está en Ossining (914-762-4141).

Laurence Miller, MD, neumólogo, está certificado en medicina interna, enfermedades pulmonares y cuidados intensivos. Recibió su título de medicina de SUNY Health Science Center en Syracuse. Completó un internado y residencia en medicina interna en el New York University Medical Center y una fellowship en medicina pulmonar y cuidados intensivos en el Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. Ha ejercido en Westchester desde 1999.  Su consultorio privado está en Ardsley (914-231-7666). 

Estas imágenes demuestran que la termoplastia bronquial reduce el grosor del músculo, lo cual resulta en una abertura mayor de la vía respiratoria.

Comprender las hernias

J

im sintió un bulto en la parte inferior del abdomen mientras se duchaba una mañana y pensó que algo estaba muy mal. Fue a ver a su médico por la tarde y le dijo que estaba seguro que tenía un tumor. El médico examinó el bulto y riendo le dijo: “Usted no tiene un tumor, Jim, tiene una hernia”.

La habilidad de su cirujano y el tipo de operación de hernia que le realice influirá en el tiempo que tardará en recuperarse y, más importante aún, en si la hernia reaparecerá.

Según el Centro Nacional para Estadísticas de Salud, EE.UU., aproximadamente 5 millones de estadounidenses tienen una hernia, pero solo unos 750,000 buscan tratamiento cada año. Se estima que 800,000 personas desarrollan una nueva hernia abdominal anualmente.

¿Qué es una hernia? Nuestros órganos se mantienen en su lugar por medio de una pared de músculo y tejido. Si se desarrolla una debilidad en la pared, el órgano que protege puede empujar a través de ella, creando una protuberancia llamada hernia. Algunas hernias están presentes al nacer, algunas aparecen de repente y otras se desarrollan lentamente durante meses o años. Las hernias generalmente no ponen en peligro la vida, pero pueden hacerlo si se estrangulan. Las hernias nunca desaparecerán sin atención quirúrgica.

Hernias inguinales Hay varios tipos diferentes de hernias, pero, por mucho, la más común es la hernia inguinal, que representa aproximadamente el 70 por ciento de todas las hernias. Cuando se desarrolla una hernia inguinal, el contenido abdominal puede sobresalir a través de un punto débil o desgarre en la pared abdominal inferior. El bulto que resulta por lo general se puede ver y sentir en la región de la ingle.

Causas: Debilidad muscular, esfuerzo o congénita La debilidad en un músculo puede ser debido a una lesión, tos crónica, cirugía o la edad. El esfuerzo se asocia con el levantamiento de objetos pesados, estornudar o toser, el estreñimiento, el embarazo y el aumento de peso. A veces hay debilidad muscular presente al nacer que empeora con el tiempo.

22

Phelps Today

Síntomas El síntoma más común de una hernia inguinal es dolor, con o sin un bulto en la ingle. El bulto es más fácil de sentir al estar de pie y parece desaparecer cuando se está acostado. El dolor es especialmente notable al agacharse, levantar objetos o toser. También puede haber una sensación de ardor, dolor o sensación de pesadez en el área de la ingle.

Factores de riesgo • Los factores que aumentan el riesgo de desarrollar una hernia incluyen: • una historia personal o familiar de hernias • sobrepeso u obesidad • estreñimiento crónico • una tos crónica • fumar (lo que puede provocar tos crónica)

Prevención de hernias No siempre es posible evitar la debilidad muscular que conduce a la aparición de una hernia, pero es posible reducir el esfuerzo, lo que ayudará a evitar una hernia o impedirá que una hernia existente empeore. Las siguientes sugerencias pueden ayudar a reducir el esfuerzo: • no levante objetos que sean demasiado pesados ​​para usted • al levantar objetos, doble las rodillas, mantenga la espalda recta y contraiga el abdomen • mantenga un peso saludable • evite pujar al defecar u orinar • consulte a su médico cuando tenga un resfriado o gripe para evitar el desarrollo de una tos persistente

Diagnóstico Si usted sospecha que ha desarrollado una hernia, se recomienda una visita a su médico de atención primaria o a un especialista. El médico diagnosticará una hernia inguinal palpando para detectar un bulto en el abdomen o en la ingle cuando usted está de pie, tose o hace esfuerzo.

A veces, lo que parece ser una hernia es en realidad un tirón muscular o un esguince en la ingle. Incluso un problema en la cadera puede imitar los síntomas de una hernia. Un médico con experiencia en el tratamiento de hernias tiene la pericia para notar la diferencia.

Tratamiento

El desgarre en el músculo se repara con malla quirúrgica. Prefiriendo no utilizar la malla de tamaño estándar, el Dr. Lau personaliza el tamaño y la forma de la malla para adaptarse a cada paciente con exactitud. Este ajuste a la medida garantiza que la reparación sea sólida, que es la razón por la que la recidiva de hernias es rara entre los pacientes del Dr. Lau.

Cuando una hernia es pequeña y no causa dolor, el tratamiento podría consistir en tener cuidado de no hacer esfuerzos y hacer que su médico lo revise periódicamente. Una vez que una hernia se vuelve grande o dolorosa, sin embargo, la cirugía suele ser la mejor opción.

Cirugía La habilidad de su cirujano y el tipo de operación de hernia que le realice influirá en el tiempo que tardará en recuperarse y, más importante aún, en si la hernia reaparecerá. Hay dos abordajes quirúrgicos comunes: cirugía mínimamente invasiva (laparoscópica) o cirugía tradicional abierta. La cirugía abierta implica incisiones más grandes, más puntadas, más traumatismo a los tejidos circundantes y un período de recuperación más largo que la cirugía mínimamente invasiva. Con la cirugía laparoscópica, la hernia se repara a través de pequeñas incisiones y el procedimiento puede tomar tan poco como 15 minutos. La cirugía laparoscópica utiliza una pequeña cámara y habilidad quirúrgica especializada. A menudo es un procedimiento ambulatorio y los pacientes son capaces de volver a sus actividades normales rápidamente. La cirugía laparoscópica requiere menos anestesia que la cirugía abierta y tiene menos dolor, menos riesgo de infección y menos cicatrices.

El Centro de Hernias de Phelps, bajo la dirección médica de Har Chi Lau, MD, ofrece a los pacientes diagnóstico y tratamiento experto especializado de hernias. El Dr. Lau es un cirujano certificado por la junta, con experiencia en cirugía mínimamente invasiva. Antes de entrar en la facultad de medicina, el Dr. Lau participó en el Programa de Postgrado de Ingeniería Nuclear de la Universidad de Wisconsin y fue Residente Adjunto en el Departamento de Ingeniería Nuclear de la Universidad de Wisconsin. Posteriormente obtuvo su título de médico en la Facultad de Medicina de Pennsylvania y completó su Residencia en Cirugía y Prácticas en Allegheny University Hospital. También llevó a cabo investigación quirúrgica sobre la cicatrización de heridas durante su residencia. El Centro de Hernias de Phelps se encuentra en el campus de Phelps (1-888-888-2311).

Una operación típica laparoscópica de hernia implica 4 pequeñas incisiones: una para la cámara y tres a través de las cuales las manos realizan el procedimiento. “Cuando realizo cirugía laparoscópica de hernia”, dice el cirujano laparoscópico Dr. Har Chi Lau, Director Médico del Centro de Hernias de Phelps, “hago todo con una sola mano, por lo que solo se necesitan dos incisiones: una para la cámara y otra para la mano”.

Phelps annual report

For the third year in a row, the Phelps Stroke Center received the Gold Plus Award from the American Heart and American Stroke Associations, the highest award given to recognize outstanding stroke care. The Cardiovascular Diagnostic Lab received accreditations from the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission for peripheral arterial testing, peripheral venous testing and extracranial cerebrovascular studies. Phelps received designation as a NICHE (Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders) hospital, recognizing its commitment to the care of older adult patients. The program was developed by the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing at New York University College of Nursing.

& Support Groups

The Westchester Lung Nodule Center was established under the direction of thoracic surgeons Dr. Avraham Merav and Dr. Rocco Lafaro to provide screening and treatment for individuals who have been diagnosed with a lung nodule and seek a second opinion or who are at high risk for lung cancer. Videonystagmography (VNG) was introduced. VNG is a diagnostic test for evaluating patients with dizziness and balance problems, which helps determine if the problem is caused by a vestibular condition. Physical therapist Puja Agarwal and occupational therapist Sheetal Shenoy were certified in vestibular rehabilitation by Emory University. The Sleep Well Support Group was established to help individuals with sleep disorders. It is the only such support group in the area.

Inpatient Services

Five board-certified critical care physicians joined Phelps’ staff and formed an intensivist (critical care) program. Patients in the intensive care unit benefit from having at least one of the physicians in the ICU every day. Phelps became licensed to dispense donor breast milk. This is a service that can be prescribed for mothers who cannot provide breast milk. Phelps is the first hospital in the area to obtain this license. The Hospitality Program was established in 2005 to make each patient’s experience in the hospital more comfortable. Hospitality representatives visit patients throughout the day, ensuring that all of their non-medical needs are met. The program has been so well received by patients and families that it has been expanded to most hospital units and the hours have been extended.

Phelps in the

Community The Vitality Initiative offered an array of health, wellness and aging-in-place programs for seniors in our community. The first annual “Vitality Day” featured health screenings, educational sessions and a presentation by the Westchester County Commissioner of Senior Programs and Services. Also under the Vitality umbrella, Phelps held a weekly farmers market to encourage healthy eating and sponsored local athletic events including the Sleepy Hollow Half Marathon, the Sleepy Hollow Sprint Triathlon and the American Heart Association Heart Walk.

Life Center of Sleepy Hollow and Asociacion de Familias Hispanas de los Tarrytowns. A Special Events Medical Unit consisting of a tent, equipment and supplies was purchased through a generous donation to provide assistance to local emergency medical services at community events. It was in service at the Toughman/Toughkids Triathlon event at Croton Point Park and at the Hudson River Swim for Life at Kingsland Point Park in Sleepy Hollow.

A second season of Familia Saludable (Healthy Family) was completed. This five-session community outreach effort to provide health education to Hispanic families of Tarrytown is conducted in collaboration with the

Off-site locations, new construction and expansion

Croton – A new medical suite was opened in Croton, offering primary and specialty care and diagnostic radiology and ultrasonography. Dobbs Ferry – Phelps’ physician office at 18 Ashford Avenue in Dobbs Ferry was re-established. Groundbreaking took place for a $1.4 million addition to the Robin’s Nest Child Care Center to create space that will allow the center to care for 41 more children, in addition to the 90 already served.

It Takes a

Community… Exceptional healthcare doesn’t occur in a vacuum. At Phelps, it is the result of many people supporting our programs and services, ensuring our ability to continue delivering the quality healthcare for which the hospital is known.

We are grateful for the investment that numerous individuals, corporations and foundations have made in Phelps’ future. Following are some examples of the impact our supporters have had on the quality of care at Phelps and in the community:

Family Medicine Residency Program Inspired by a mission to address the national need for primary care physicians, scores of donors have given to the NYMC Phelps Family Medicine Residency Program. The first residency program of its kind in New York State since 1995, this initiative provides unique training opportunities both in the hospital and in the community for individuals dedicated to providing continuing and comprehensive care to patients of all ages.

Nursing Promise Developed through the vision and generosity of Sean Dugan and his family, the Nursing Promise program supports the development of talented individuals by providing incentive and financial assistance to Phelps employees who are accepted in an accredited nursing program leading to an RN degree and license. We are grateful for the many individuals, foundations and corporations who have provided ongoing support for this important program. Annual Report 2012 30 Phelps Phelps annual report 30

Maternal-Child Health The Maternal-Child Health Unit hosts over 1,000 births annually and is home to a comprehensive maternity and newborn care program. Thanks to the extraordinary support of Linda and Pablito Almira, the unit’s existing newborn warmer/monitoring systems will be replaced with blanket warmers and state-of-the-art systems called Panda Warmers, ensuring an optimal environment for newborns during their first hours of life.

Frank and Lisina Hoch Center for Emergency Education and the Phelps Emergency Department Thanks to the generosity of Lisina Hoch, the Frank and Lisina Hoch Center for Emergency Education continues to be a model program for emergency preparedness and training, attracting students from throughout the US and the world. We are grateful to a team of donors, including Earle and Barbara Ellefsen who funded our Special Events Medical Unit which provides emergency health services at many community events, Deborah Reich, who funded the purchase of a passenger van to transport staff and equipment, and Entergy, which provided the funds for an all-terrain stretcher transport. Earle and Barbara Ellefsen also generously underwrote the purchase of a glidescope for our Emergency Department, which will assist medical personnel in providing advanced airway support.

Hospital Quality of Life Enhancing the hospital’s environment lifts the spirits of patients and visitors alike. The gardens outside of the 755 building entrance have been enriched, thanks to the generosity of Mr. Howard Dean, who underwrote a charming piece of artwork called “Kitty Katt.” The functional artwork depicts a young girl sitting on a bench, playing with a cat in her lap. It’s a wonderful spot for visitors to take a break and enjoy some fresh air.

June day, 96 golfers took to the renowned course at Sleepy Hollow Country Club for the 9th Annual Phelps Classic. Led by the event’s founding chairman, Bill Melvin, the Classic was a great opportunity for friends, supporters, and Phelps staff (many of whom spent the day on the greens keeping our golfers honest) to enjoy the wonderful weather and spectacular scenery. Special thanks to our sponsors and foursomes and donors of Hole-in-One cars for making the day so much fun.

Records were shattered at the 25th Anniversary Champagne Ball, which took place on Saturday, November 10 at the Trump National Golf Club. Led by co-chairs Pam and Dr. Paul Terracciano and featuring a journal exquisitely designed by Christopher Radko, nearly 400 attendees enjoyed the smooth sounds of the Michael Dell Band long into the evening. Lucky auction winners walked away with extraordinary lots such as a personalized carriage ride through the Rockefeller State Park Preserve and an acoustic guitar signed by Bob Dylan. The highlight of the evening was a surprise announcement by the Hales family offering to match up to $100,000 of monies donated to this year’s “Fund-A-Cause” effort, which was designated to help to purchase cardiac monitors for the Thomas E. and Alice M. Hales Endoscopy Unit. Join us for the 26th Annual Champagne Ball, November 16, 2013. 34

An Evening with

Le Grand Orange “An Evening with Le Grand Orange” – On Sunday, November 18, Phelps and the Rusty Staub Foundation partnered for an extraordinary evening of food and wine at the award-winning Manhattan restaurant Daniel. Hosted by “Le Grand Orange” himself, the legendary baseball great Rusty Staub, guests were treated to a five-course meal prepared by world-renowned chef Daniel Boulud. Each course was paired with an appropriate wine selected by Mr. Boulud and Rusty Staub, who is a wine connoisseur and collector. Mr. Staub served as wine auctioneer for the event, raising a total of $25,000. Proceeds benefited Phelps and the Rusty Staub Foundation, which raises money to assist families and children throughout NYC through various services and programs, including food pantries and a mobile food unit that serves more than one million meals to the needy each year.

Be sure to join us for the next “Evening” in the near future! 36

An Evening of

Fine Friends

Against the backdrop of a crystal clear evening in April, more than 140 guests enjoyed An Evening of Food & Wine with Fine Friends at the extraordinary Tappan Hill Mansion ballroom. Wine

experts regaled attendees about the wonderful wines from the Tuscany, Piedmont and Southern Italian regions, samples of which guests enjoyed in conjunction with the artistically presented regional culinary offerings that caterer Abigail Kirsch is known for. Join us on Thursday, April 25, 2013, when we add a new twist – martinis – to this wonderful event.

A Lift for What Ales You More than 200 guests gathered in January to enjoy inaugural draughts of beer at the Captain Lawrence Brewing Company’s new location in Elmsford. The informal midwinter celebration, “A Lift for What Ales You,” was Phelps’ first food and beer-tasting event. Area restaurants such as Jean-Jacques, Caperberry Catering, and Bridge View Tavern provided a sampling of delicious delights. It was a great event that really provided “a lift” for everyone there.
