BOCA RATON’S KEEPING THE PROMISE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN CELEBRATES THE COSLOV’S $1 MILLION GIFT
May 9, 2023 – Michael and Debra Coslov have made a $1 million gift to Keeping the Promise…The Campaign for Boca Raton Regional Hospital. The gift will be acknowledged with the naming of the third-floor reception area in the Cooperman Medical Arts Pavilion in honor of the Coslovs.
“We are enormously grateful to Michael and Debra for this spectacular gesture of generosity,” said Lincoln Mendez, North Region Executive for Baptist Health and CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “The Coslovs became residents of Boca Raton only nine years ago, but immediately took an interest in their healthcare, the health of the community, and the hospital. They have become family, and we are always moved by that sort of commitment, participation, and embrace of our approach and vision.”
Michael Coslov is the former Chairman and CEO of Tube City IMS in Glassport, PA, the largest provider of outsourced industrial services to steel mills in North America. The organization provides mill services at 84 customer sites in 13 countries and their global raw material procurement network spans five continents.

UPDATED INFORMATION FROM THE LAST THREE DAYS IN SOUTH FLORIDA |
TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL CEO NAMED AS A TOP INFLUENCER IN FLORIDA HEALTH CARE
Tampa General’s president and CEO, John Couris, is recognized for his transformative and innovative leadership in Florida health care.
May 9, 2023 – John Couris, president and CEO of Tampa General Hospital (TGH), was named a “Top Influencer in Florida Heath Care Politics,” in the INFLUENCE Magazine Spring 2023 edition.
“As a leading academic health system, Tampa General’s goal is to provide world-class, innovative, coordinated and accessible care to members of the communities we serve and beyond,” said Couris. “To achieve this, it’s important to work with our state leaders to advance policy solutions that continue to improve access and strengthen the quality of care we offer in Florida.

As the largest expansion in the hospital’s history, the master facility plan includes a new 500,000-square-foot patient tower which will add 136 additional in-patient beds, a freestanding emergency department, a TGH Cancer Institute hub for diagnostic testing, treatment and support services, a building to be outfitted for administrative, education and training space, a sterile processing facility, and renovated main operating suites to Tampa General’s footprint.

VITAS HEALTHCARE SETS OUT ON COMMUNITY SUPPORT TOUR AHEAD OF HURRICANE MICHAEL’S FIVE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY
PANAMA CITY, FL – May 5, 2023 —Nearly five years after tragedy struck Florida’s Panhandle by way of Category 5 Hurricane Michael, the Panama City community continues to rebuild from the devastation.

Leaders from the local hospice provider will visit and extend grants to six area nonprofits, each serving a critical role in helping residents with resources and support to restore their future.
The first stop on the tour is Rebuild Bay County, an entity formed in response to the hurricane and its $25 billion worth of damage, uniting more than 70 nonprofit and faith-based organizations in coordinating case management for affected residents.

AMA: ONE IN THREE PHYSICIANS PREVIOUSLY SUED IN THEIR CAREER
Nearly half of physicians age 55 and over have been sued in an inefficient system where most claims are dropped or decided in favor of physicians
CHICAGO- May 10, 2023 – A new analysis from the American Medical Association (AMA) finds the possibility of being sued during a career in medicine is very real for most doctors, which is notable given that most claims end with no finding of negligence or error. According to the analysis of claim frequency, nearly one-third (31.2%) of U.S. physicians in 2022 reported they had previously been sued.
“Even the most highly qualified and competent physicians in the U.S. may face a medical liability claim in their careers, however, getting sued is not indicative of medical errors,” said AMA President Jack Resneck Jr., M.D. “All medical care comes with risks, yet physicians are willing to perform high-risk procedures that offer hope of relief from debilitating symptoms or life-threatening conditions. When physicians are sued, two-thirds of civil liability claims are dropped, dismissed, or withdrawn without a finding of fault. When claims proceed to trial and are decided by a verdict, the defendants prevail in nearly 9 out 10 cases.”
The AMA analysis shows it is virtually a matter of time before a physician is sued. The longer a physician is in practice, the higher their exposure to risk. However, the analysis shows that in addition to age, a physician’s medical specialty and gender are prominent factors in the likelihood of being sued during a career in medicine.

May 8, 2023 –The Leapfrog Group has again awarded Jupiter Medical Center an “A” Hospital Safety Grade for achieving the highest national standard in patient safety. Jupiter Medical Center is the only hospital in the Palm Beach and Martin County region to receive an “A” rating.

NIH RESEARCHERS IDENTIFY LARGE GENETIC CHANGES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO DEMENTIA RISK
Discovery provides potential clues for Lewy body and frontotemporal dementias.
May 8 2023 – Scientists at the National Institutes of Health have identified new genetic risk factors for two types of non-Alzheimer’s dementia. These findings were published in Cell Genomics and detail how researchers identified large-scale DNA changes, known as structural variants, by analyzing thousands of DNA samples. The team discovered several structural variants that could be risk factors Lewy body dementia (LBD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The project was a collaborative effort between scientists at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at NIH.
Structural variants have been implicated in a variety of neurological disorders. Unlike more commonly studied mutations, which often affect one or a few DNA building blocks called nucleotides, structural variants represent at least 50 but often hundreds, or even thousands, of nucleotides at once, making them more challenging to study.
“If you imagine that our entire genetic code is a book, a structural variant would be a paragraph, page, or even an entire chapter that has been removed, duplicated, or inserted in the wrong place,” said Sonja W. Scholz, M.D., Ph.D., investigator in the neurogenetics branch of NINDS and senior author of this study.
By combining cutting-edge computer algorithms capable of mapping structural variations across the whole genome with machine learning, the research team analyzed whole-genome data from thousands of patient samples and several thousand unaffected controls.

SCIENTISTS RELEASE A NEW HUMAN “PANGENOME” REFERENCE
More complete and sophisticated collection of genome sequences captures significantly more human diversity.
May 10, 2023- Researchers have released a new high-quality collection of reference human genome sequences that captures substantially more diversity from different human populations than what was previously available. The work was led by the international Human Pangenome Reference Consortium, a group funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health.
The new “pangenome” reference includes genome sequences of 47 people, with the researchers pursuing the goal of increasing that number to 350 by mid-2024. With each person carrying a paired set of chromosomes, the current reference actually includes 94 distinct genome sequences, with a goal of reaching 700 distinct genome sequences by the completion of the project.
The work, appearing in the journal Nature, is one of several papers published today by consortium members.
A genome is the set of DNA instructions that helps each living creature develop and function. Genome sequences differ slightly among individuals. In the case of humans, any two peoples’ genomes are, on average, more than 99% identical. The small differences contribute to each person’s uniqueness and can provide insights about their health, helping to diagnose disease, predict outcomes and guide medical treatments.
