Meridian Health’s Medical/Dental Staff Achievements T2010/2011hank You Thank You for Taking Care of Looking back over the past year, I don’t know where to begin in acknowledging all that our valued physicians have accomplished. The achievements and activities outlined in this report are remarkable and a powerful testament to the collective talents of all of you.

Whether you are restoring hope and returning members of this community back to their lives, or serving those who are less fortunate, both locally and in communities around the world through your missions, it is clear that your care and compassion have no boundaries. Through your commitment to groundbreaking clinical research, we are able to provide the most up-to-date care to patients and create new guidelines for future care. As our community partners, you provide important education and outreach to grateful area residents who are increasingly looking to become more involved in and informed about their health.

The industry is facing unprecedented challenges. That’s why over the course of the last year we have remained committed to providing you with the tools to face these changes, such as our subsidy program to assist in the installation of electronic health records, and the implementation of our Meridian Health Information Exchange. Investing in our physicians and in new technology will set the foundation for a clinically integrated network — one that is poised for even greater achievements in the future.

It goes without saying that the best health care systems are comprised of the best physicians. These pages are just a simple way for Meridian Health to acknowledge all of the not-so-simple things you do to help us fulfi ll our vision of being the best health care system. It is your support that allows us to continue Taking Care of New Jersey. Thank you for your continued commitment in ensuring the health and well-being of our communities.

Clinical Research Physician-led research shines forth not only through the publications and presentations we’ve listed, but also through the nearly 231 active clinical trials that are currently underway. This includes 120 investigator-initiated studies, 93 cooperative group studies, and 18 pharma-based studies with over 300 patients enrolled in clinical trials during 2010 alone. Members of our Medical and Dental Staff are tracking down the answers to an array of challenging questions – from which promising new treatment options impact cancer outcomes to how nitric oxide prevents bronchopulmonary dysplasia in certain preterm infants.

Hero Meets Star Kudos to Tommasina Papa-Rugino, M.D., who recently revived a theatergoer while attending a performance of That Championship Season on Broadway. Dr. Papa-Rugino administered CPR and a defi brillator on a man who had stopped breathing and had no pulse. She was successful in reviving him, and he was breathing again when the EMS arrived. The production continued and following its conclusion, star Kiefer Sutherland sought out Dr. Papa-Rugino to thank her and pose for a photo. Weeks later, the man she had saved contacted Dr. Papa-Rugino and let her know he was doing well.

Pedal Power Throughout the years, Robert Sweeney, D.O., and Leonard Zawodniak, M.D., have found themselves peddling long-distance cycling trips cross-country and overseas. Both physicians have accumulated an impressive resume of trips including Dr. Zawodniak’s recent tour along the eastern half of old Route 66 covering about 1,200 miles over the course of two weeks, and Dr. Sweeney’s Mt. Washington, New Hampshire Auto Road Bicycle Hill Climb consisting of 7.5 miles over a 12% gradient. In 2008, the two cycled together in the Southern Transcontinental ride; a 26-day ride from San Diego to Tybee Island, Georgia covering an astounding 3,000 miles. Both Dr. Sweeney and Dr. Zawodniak agree that bicycling has provided them with many opportunities to travel and stay fi t.

Encouraging Efforts to Go Green Ask anyone in the area to name a physician who is passionate about being environmentally friendly, and pulmonologist Walter Wynkoop, M.D. will likely be one of the fi rst names that comes to mind. For years he has been an advocate for the environment, and his efforts include participating in Ocean Medical Center’s Earth Day activities.

Recognizing Dr. Wynkoop’s passion, as well as the trend in popularity among other team and community members, Ocean Medical Center installed two special outlets in its parking garage to accommodate electric cars. Dr. Wynkoop was the fi rst to try out the newly designated spots with his Chevy Volt, which is a plug-in electric hybrid. “Ocean has been enthusiastic in pursuing green initiatives,” says Dr. Wynkoop. “This is critical in the fi ght against air pollution, which contributes to asthma, COPD, and heart disease. It’s not just about being green. It’s about improving patients’ health.” Outsi2010/2011 de the O On a Mission At Meridian Health, our commitment to improving the health and well being of our community goes far beyond our state and national borders – and our Medical and Dental Staff members truly showcase this dedication. Here are just a few examples of their selfl ess dedication to serving those who are less fortunate around the world:

Delivering the Gift of Sight in Africa As members of the non-profi t organization Right to Sight and Health, Judith Simon, M.D., and Donald Macdonald, M.D., ophthalmologists affi liated with Riverview Medical Center, travel to Africa to provide eye care to a population who would otherwise be without. During each visit, they perform hundreds of eye surgeries, mostly to treat cataracts, the number one cause of preventable blindness in the world. It is also their mission to provide medical and eye care education for the local health personnel, including doctors, nurses, medical students, and community health care workers. Over the past year, Drs. Simon and Macdonald have traveled to Ghana, Senegal, Cameroon, and the Philippines, and they are planning a return trip to Bakel, Senegal this December.

A Journey to Palestine Last October, Henry Sprance, M.D., a gynecologic oncologist at Jersey Shore, participated in a two-week medical mission to Palestine arranged by the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund and sanctioned by the Palestinian Health Ministry. Dr. Sprance was assigned to the Beit Jala National Hospital, where he evaluated women from all over Palestine and performed surgery on fi ve patients during his brief stay.

Don’t Be Cruel to This Physician If you stop in to Nabucco Restaurente in Toms River on a Friday or Saturday night, there’s a good chance you’ll see Just Us performing for guests. What you may not realize is that the lead singer is Ocean’s very own Joe Dugenio, M.D. When not caring for patients at the Ocean Care Center in Point Pleasant, Dr. Dugenio performs his favorite love songs and Elvis hits with the three person group, even dressing like Elvis for his performance!

This Doc Plays Dirty Jason Wong, D.O., completed the Tough Mudder Road Race, a 10-12 mile obstacle course designed by British Special Forces to test all-around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. The course involves hills, mud, water, ropes, walls, electric shocks, and fi re. Forget fi nish times; simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor. On average, only 78% of participants fi nish the event. Tough Mudder has raised over one million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project.

Meet Dog’s Best Friend When Daran Haber, M.D., is not at Riverview Medical Center providing expert care to patients, he spends his time attending to the health and well-being of animals, locally and globally. A true animal advocate, Dr. Haber serves as vice president of the Board of Trustees for the Monmouth County SPCA and has traveled the globe with Project Animal Worldwide. As a board member of Project Animal Worldwide, he helps the organization deliver on its mission to develop spay/neuter programs, assist in animal rescue, and implement humane education in areas of the world where the homeless cat and dog population is unmanageable. On his most recent trip to Puerto Rico, Dr. Haber went to Dead Dog Beach to help provide care for feral dogs (which have been estimated in the hundreds of thousands) that are starving and often die of easily treatable diseases.

Ocean Physician Represents in Israel Radiation oncologist Nate Kaufman, M.D., completed the Half Israman Race held in Eilat, Israel in January. Dr. Kaufman has participated in sprint and Olympic-level triathalons, but this was his fi rst half ironman. It’s quite a fi rst race to attempt: the Israman has been recognized as one of the top 10 iron distance races in the world by Triathlete magazine. Despite it being an excruciating race, Dr. Kaufman is already planning for next year’s Israman. “This really felt like an accomplishment on so many levels,” says Dr. Kaufman.
