BROWARD HEALTH CELEBRATES TOPPING-OUT CEREMONY FOR MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING AT BROWARD HEALTH NORTH
November 4, 2026- Broward Health celebrated a major construction milestone with the topping out of its medical office building (MOB) at Broward Health North in Deerfield Beach. The ceremony marked the placement of the final structural beam at the highest point of the six-story building. The beam featured signatures of Broward Health executives, local officials and the construction team.
In keeping with topping-out tradition, a palm tree and American flag were placed atop the building along with the final beam.
“This building reinforces our commitment to expand access to specialty care across our community,” said Shane Strum, President and CEO of Broward Health. “As our first medical office building in nearly three decades, this project represents a generational investment in the people we serve and the future of care in north Broward.”
The 127,033-square-foot facility will create new physician offices for outpatient services, including cardiovascular, neuroscience and orthopedic services, as well as additional specialty clinics and affiliated physician practices.
“We are proud of our construction partners for achieving this milestone in record time,” said David Clark, senior vice president of operations at Broward Health. “With the structure topped out, the construction team is preparing to install prefabricated panels.”

| The Future of Medicine Must Be Shaped by Physicians By Christopher Chang, MD
Medicine is more than a profession. It is a calling, a commitment to patients, grounded in science, guided by clinical judgment, anchored in ethics and sustained by the trust between physicians and patients. Yet physicians increasingly navigate a system shaped by legislative mandates, legal pressures and insurance company policies that can place political and financial interests ahead of clinical judgement. It is time for doctors to reclaim their rightful place in determining the future of medicine.
Legislators have a responsibility to protect the public. Attorneys play an essential role in upholding the law. Insurers help finance health care. But when medical practice is driven primarily by political interests, litigation fears or financial incentives, the patient-physician relationship suffers, and our communities play the ultimate price.
Physicians are trained to evaluate evidence, weigh risks and benefits, and make decisions tailored to the needs of each individual patient. Yet prior authorizations, delayed reimbursements, restrictive coverage policies and administrative burdens increasingly interfere with that responsibility. According to the American Medical Association, 93% of physicians surveyed reported that prior authorization delays patient care, while 82% said it can lead patients to abandon treatment. These are not merely administrative inconveniences; they are barriers that prevent the patient from receiving the care that they need.

Tampa General Hospital Advanced Kidney Care Welcomes Nephrologist Dr. Alexander Lanes
With the addition of Dr. Lanes, TGH Advanced Kidney Care expands the world-class nephrology services it provides to patients in the Palm Beaches and on the Treasure Coast.
November 4, 2026 – Tampa General Hospital (TGH) Advanced Kidney Care welcomes nephrologist Dr. Alexander Lanes to its team. His addition expands the practice’s ability to provide comprehensive kidney care to patients in the Palm Beaches and on the Treasure Coast.
Lanes earned his medical degree from the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine at Boston University.

During his second year of fellowship, he served as chief fellow. Additionally, he completed the American Society of Nephrology’s Home Dialysis Scholarship Program, a yearlong home dialysis education course. A South Florida native, Lanes is a member of the American Medical Association, American Society of Nephrology and the National Kidney Foundation.
“I’m excited to return home and join a team dedicated to helping patients manage kidney disease and maintain their quality of life,” said Lanes. “I look forward to building relationships with patients and providing the personalized care they need.” READ MORE |
Study: Targeted Scan Detects Hidden Multiple Myeloma Missed by Standard Imaging
Nov. 3, 2026 — A targeted immunoPET scan detected active multiple myeloma that standard PET/CT scans and blood tests missed, a finding that could help doctors more accurately map disease, guide treatment decisions and confirm whether cancer remains after therapy. The phase 2 clinical trial was led by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Multiple myeloma is a disease that can remain hidden in plain sight. This blood cancer grows in the bone marrow but spreads to many places in the body. Doctors can use advanced imaging and newer blood tests to look for disease, but these tests do not always tell the full story, which can affect everything from diagnosis to treatment decisions.
Now, Sylvester researchers have shown that a targeted imaging approach can detect active myeloma that standard tests miss. The study, published in Radiology, used immunoPET, a new type of labeled antibodies that find and attach directly to myeloma cells.
“If we are going to cure multiple myeloma, we need two things. One, we need really effective medicines. Second, we need to be able to make sure there is no disease left behind after these treatments,” said C. Ola Landgren, M.D., Ph.D., chief of the Myeloma Division, director of Sylvester Myeloma Institute, and senior author of the study. “We are developing new and better technology designed to see where the disease is and make sure we are not missing it.”

FAU Researchers Explore Quantum Computing to Predict Lung Cancer with Limited Data
Study Snapshot: Developing reliable machine learning models for healthcare can be challenging when only small datasets are available. This challenge motivates research into whether quantum computing approaches can learn useful patterns from limited symptom and risk-factor data.
A research team led by Florida Atlantic University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science evaluated quantum machine learning approaches in simulation and on quantum hardware using symptom and risk-factor data for lung cancer prediction under limited training data. Published in Discover Quantum Science, a Springer Nature journal, the study compared three classification methods across five computing frameworks.
The best-performing configuration, a quantum support vector machine implemented using D-Wave Quantum Inc. technology, achieved 94.31% accuracy in simulation and 91.90% on D-Wave’s AdvantageTM annealing quantum computers. The results come from an experimental dataset expanded through synthetic data augmentation and represent preliminary research rather than a clinically validated diagnostic tool.
Nov. 2, 2026 – Developing reliable machine learning models for healthcare can be challenging when only small datasets are available. This challenge motivates research into whether quantum computing approaches can learn useful patterns from limited symptom and risk-factor data.

Thousands of Vulnerable Medicaid and ACA Patients Stand to Lose Access to Healthcare Insurance if Centene Continues to Stall on In-Network Renewal
November 4th, 2026 – Thousands of Palm Beach County residents enrolled in Centene health plans could lose in-network access to the Palm Beach Health Network as early as January 1, if the two entities fail to reach a contract agreement before year’s end.
Nationally, over 13 million patients and their families stand to lose in-network access to Tenet Healthcare hospitals and doctors by January 1, if Centene, the country’s largest Medicaid managed care organization, follows through on its recently issued contract termination notice, those close to the negotiations say. Roughly 70% of the Centene members who rely on local Tenet hospitals and doctors are Medicaid enrollees, and in Palm Beach County, more than 200,000 existing Centene Medicaid, Medicare, and ACA Exchange covered lives are at risk.
