are excited to share with you impoiant advancements in St. Luke’s Medical Center’s effois to build an excellent and renowned Neuroscience Center. In recent years, readers of The Spirit have read about advances in neurosurgical techniques and technology (see Spring 2002 and Winter 1996 editions).
The Gamma Knife — found first in Wisconsin at St. Luke’s Medical Center, state-of-the-art imaging equipment and world-class physicians have advanced our strong neurosurgical program into the 21st century. These developments have enabled St. Luke’s to assemble a strong team of internationally respected and caring physicians specializing in diseases of the central nervous system — tumors, cerebral aneurysms, cervical and lumbar diseases, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease and other disorders. In this issue, you will meet the physicians leading their teams in cutting-edge diagnosis, treatment, research and supportive therapies enabling patients with these complex disorders to live more productive and enjoyable lives.
The same excellent services available at St. Luke’s Medical Center for the treatment ofheart disease and cancer enable us to launch this comprehensive Neuroscience Center.Highly trained and compassionate nurses, radiology technicians, operating room staff and support staff contribute to our ability to expand the neuroscience program. We are providing the best neurological care available to people throughout our state, the Midwest and the country.
In this season when we give thanks for our blessings in life, you will sense the gratitude from real
people whose lives have been changed — and saved — at St. Luke’s Medical Center. Neurological diseases are very difficult to properly diagnose and treat. Many of these men and women suffered needlessly for years, because they could not find adequate treatment. Relief from pain, freedom to
walk, the ability to live without unpredictable, disabling seizures — these are truly a godsend for the patients profiled here.
None of this would be possible without your philanthropic support. Visionary and generous people like you have consistently helped to bring the latest technology, research trials and support programs available to patients of St. Luke’s Medical Center. In reading this issue, you will see how your past contributions have been put to good use in providing support, relief and meaning to patients suffering from devastating, crippling diseases. Our efforts will not be complete until these programs reach out to all in need. We hope that you will find it in your hearts during this holiday season to support these incredible programs through your charitable giving and join us in these efforts.
Wishing you and your family a blessed holiday season,

e of t questions we often hear is “How can I direct my gift?” For example, “Is there a fund to which I ca d rect a gift for nursing education?” Yes, there is a Nursing fund. It was established a number of years ago specifically for that purpose. In addition, there are many funds available to meet the growing needs of the hospital. Listed below is just a partial listing of funds to which you can designate your support. We will continue to feature hospital funds that benefit the patients, programs and services at St. Luke’s Medical Center in upcoming issues of The Spirit.

Diagnosis and Treatment Epilepsy reveals itself in many ways, depending upon the area of the brain affected. It takes skill, experience and precision diagnostic equipment to be correctly diagnosed. New patients coming to the Regional Epilepsy Center at St. Luke’s bring recent test results or undergo an EEG (electroencephalogram) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) when meeting with Dr. Morris. This meeting with the patient and immediate family members reviews I Ifii the history of medications, past treatments and degree of Dr Morris holds a protective head device toprevent seizure control the patient has achieved.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is second only to trauma as the most common cause of disability in young adults in the United States.

P Daniel Suberviola, MD, Neurological Surgety, SC “For patients like Kelly, who’ve already had the Dr. Suberviola is a maximum amount of conventional radiation, the Gamma fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada Knife offered another option that could provide real (and only the 216th fellow to be selected in the 50 hope,” says Dr. Suberviola. “The exciting thing about years prior to his induction) and the International the Gamma Knife,” he says, “is that the radiation is College of Surgeons. He is one of three program coor so precise and so calculated, it is able to destroy the dinators for the Gamma Knife Center. Dr. Suberviola diseased cells without affecting the healthy, normal has special interest in the surgical treatment of brain tissue around the tumor or lesion..” tumors, degenerative diseases of the spine, movement disorders and stereotactic radiosurgery modalities. For Kelly, the Gamma Knife not only provided a potential cure, it did so with minimal interruption to “Our primary mission is to treat patients, and to do it everyday life. Kelly, in fact, worked all day at her job in the best possible manner. The breadth of services at on Wednesday, came in for Gamma Knife treatment on St. Luke’s makes this possible,” says Dr. Suberviola. Thursday, and returned to work on Monday. “When I had the two brain surgeries, it took weeks to recover,” The Gamma Knife Center at St. Luke’s can be reached Kelly recalls. “It was much more traumatic.” by calling 414-385-2660.
Gamma Knife is recognized worldwide as the preferred treatment for metastatic brain tumors, primary benign and malignant brain tumors, and other intracranial lesions. It is not really a knife in the usual sense of the word but rather a bladeless “knife” that performs neurosurgery without an incision. Gamma Knife treatment uses multiple, low-intensity beams of radi ation which converge on a target to slow the growth of cancerous tumors. The radiation actually destroys the DNAin the tumor cells so that they are no longer able to grow and reproduce. When the cell matures and is unable I to replicate itself, it simply dies. Due to this inability to replace dying cells, the tumor’s growth is halted.
