Beyond Compliance: Delivering True Price Transparency for Patients

By Mary C. Mayhew

As one of the most heavily regulated industries by federal, state, and even local governments, in addition to private accreditation entities, hospitals are no strangers to complying with regulations, ordinances, and other requirements. By one count, for example, 750 federal health-related regulations were finalized between 2005 and 2025 at an estimated cost of compliance of $313 billion dollars and 368 million paperwork hours.

When the federal government first mandated online publication of negotiated payment rates between hospitals and insurers in 2021, in addition to previous state and federal requirements to post pricing data, hospitals did what they always do and swung into gear to comply. They deployed teams comprised of information technology, finance, and data professionals to build and publish online machine-readable files in the prescribed format that provides the payment amount for every single service provided negotiated with every single health plan and insurer with which they contract.

VITAS Healthcare Gives Patient the Night of His Life

By Lois Thomson

A Hollywood script couldn’t have written it any better. A man expresses his dying wish to see his beloved hockey team in person one more time; a hospice and palliative care provider puts everything together in record time; the man has a chance to watch the game from premier seats; and weeks later the team goes on to win the Stanley Cup.

All of this happened to Alan Reddish, with the help of VITAS Healthcare, and Natalie Villabrera-Williams, RN, in particular. Reddish, now 53, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease when he was just 37 years old, and since 2022 has been living at Lenox on the Lake, an assisted living community. But despite his illness, Reddish never lost his love of sports, and especially hockey.

Villabrera-Williams said Reddish is “fiercely independent,” and is quite mobile during his days at Lenox, using an electric scooter to get around. He plays poker two or three times a week, and is always willing to talk sports. In fact, that’s how the relationship developed between her and Reddish.

“We’ve known each other for about a year-and-a-half, and the bond grew slowly but surely,” she said. “As I got to know him better, he started teaching me about hockey. I wasn’t a fan before, but he made me one. Our bond formed over time, especially through his love for the Panthers.”

HCA Florida Healthcare announces opening of new HCA Florida Stuart Emergency

Freestanding center offers 24/7/365 emergency care for adults and children

STUART, Fla., August 15, 2025 – HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital announces the opening of a new emergency care center as part of HCA Florida Healthcare’s continued expansion across the state. Opening today, HCA Florida Stuart Emergency at 2551 South Kanner Hwy., Stuart, FL 34994, provides a full range of medical services for children and adults experiencing emergent issues.

HCA Florida JFK Hospital named Comprehensive Resuscitation Center of Excellence

Proud to Be a Florida Resuscitation Center of Excellence: Leading the Way in Patient Care! 

August 15, 2025 – HCA Florida JFK Hospital is proud to be recognized as a Comprehensive Resuscitation Center of Excellence, a statewide initiative launched in 2022, born out of being a primary goal of the Florida Resuscitation Center Committee, a committee formed to develop recommendations on how to increase the survival rate for sudden cardiac arrest.

To achieve this prestigious designation, hospitals must meet rigorous statewide criteria, allowing them to participate as either a Primary Resuscitation Center of Excellence (PRCE) or a Comprehensive Resuscitation Center of Excellence (CRCE). Facilities must self-attest to these standards and reapply every three years to maintain the designation.

Cardiac Arrest remains a leading killer in the Sunshine State as survival rates remain low despite advances in healthcare technology and in medical care. Each year, approximately 350,000 individuals die from cardiac arrest in Florida, and it remains the third leading cause of death in the United States.

“This recognition reflects the strength of our comprehensive cardiac program and our focus on saving lives,” said Ken West, CEO of HCA Florida JFK Hospital. “We bring together a multidisciplinary team, collaborate with the American Heart Association, and engage community partners to increase CPR training and awareness. Working hand-in-hand with local EMS agencies, we’ve built an aggressive, coordinated system of care that extends from the moment of cardiac arrest through recovery.”

Cancer and Chemical Link

Sylvester Physician Explains ‘Endocrine Disruptors,’ Cancer Risk

Physician-scientist Mikkael Sekeres, M.D., chief of hematology at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, authored a guest commentary in The Washington Post and appeared on its podcast to explain “endocrine disruptors” and their potential cancer risk. Sekeres noted that there are more than 1,000 chemicals, including bisphenol A (BPAs), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) and phthalates that may affect the endocrine system, but the cancer risk is not equivalent to known risk factors such as alcohol and smoking.

Cancer and Nutrition
Refining Nutrition’s Potential Role in Cancer Treatment
“Nutrition plays a well-known role in cancer prevention and survivorship, but there is very little solid guidance on how to support patients nutritionally during chemotherapy,” said Tracy Crane, Ph.D., R.D.N., Sylvester’s director of lifestyle medicine, prevention and digital health. That gap prompted the National Cancer Institute to fund the Exercise and Nutrition Interventions to Improve Cancer Treatment-Related Outcomes (ENICTO) research consortium. Crane, who chairs an ENICTO working group, and colleagues recently published results from a study evaluating nutrition’s potential role in improving chemotherapy effectiveness and patient outcomes.

Breast Cancer
Powerlifting Through Breast Cancer Defies Conventional Wisdom
Breast cancer was a heavy lift for LaShae Rolle, but not for the reasons you might think. Rolle, 27, is a competitive powerlifter who can squat 441 pounds, bench nearly 300 pounds and deadlift almost 500 pounds. She also is a breast cancer survivor and researcher who served as lead author on a first-ever study documenting elite-level strength training during active treatment. Her findings, published in Lifestyle Medicine, challenge the long-held belief that cancer patients should stick to lower-intensity exercise while undergoing therapy.

Blood Cancer
New Research Shows DNA Regulatory Switch Promotes Blood Cell Development
A recent study led by Sylvester Director Stephen D. Nimer, M.D., shows how a key molecule regulates the generation of new blood cells, a process called hematopoiesis that goes awry in cancer. The findings could lead to new therapeutic strategies targeting the molecule, TAF1, which regulates gene activity. The study “not only challenges prevailing models of hematopoietic regulation, but also lays the groundwork for innovative clinical applications,” said Ramin Shiekhattar, Ph.D., co-leader of Sylvester’s Cancer Epigenetics Program and a study author.

DPR Construction Begins Interior Work of Holy Cross Emergency Department in Deerfield Beach

Freestanding Facility Expected to Open in 2026 

August 13, 2025  – The South Florida Business Unit of DPR Construction has completed the exterior, including the roof and weatherproofing, of the new 25,000-square-foot Holy Cross Health Free-Standing Emergency Department (FSED) in Deerfield Beach, located at 340 S Federal Highway. Interior construction work began on August 11.

Holy Cross leased the former Orchard Supply Hardware location with plans to complete cosmetic upgrades. According to Bala Purushothaman, DPR’s project manager, a number of structural issues in the existing building were discovered in the early stages of renovation, resulting in a complete demolition of the building except for a few steel columns and beams.

“As we started demolishing the interiors of the existing building, we discovered tie beam issues, no rebar in the exterior walls and other issues that forced us to demolish the entire building except for a few steel beams,” he explained. “But we are tracking great per our current schedule and are on schedule for the planned opening in the spring of next year.”

The ability to handle all of the unexpected aspects of the project, added Purushothaman, rests with the quality work of the more than 30 trade partners. “The entire team has enabled us to maintain the schedule, manage the budget and earn an excellent safety record,” he said.

Once it opens to patients, the Holy Cross FSED will offer comprehensive emergency services, including advanced diagnostic imaging such as X-rays, ultrasound and CT scans. On-site features will include a fully functional on-site laboratory, private treatment and exam rooms, as well as a dedicated ambulance bay for fast and efficient emergency response.

An AdventHealth Collaboration Explores the Impact of Microgravity and Electrical Stimulation on Muscle Cell Health in Space

August 11, 2025- Using a muscle lab-on-chip model aboard the International Space Station (ISS), AdventHealth Translational Research Institute’s Paul M. Coen, PhD, has been working with a multidisciplinary team from the University of Florida and Micro-gRX, Inc., and led by Sibohan Malany, PhD, to examine how microgravity affects muscle cell function. Their latest study found that electrical stimulation (e-stim) applied intermittingly could help reduce gene expression signatures of muscle tissue degradation, paving the way for potential applications in space and on Earth. Titled, “Microgravity Accelerates Skeletal Muscle Degeneration: Functional and Transcriptomic Insights from an ISS Muscle Lab-on-Chip Model,” the team’s work was recently published in Stem Cell Reports.

Advancing the Understanding of Muscle Health in a Novel Way
Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass, strength and function, increases risk of falls, fractures and injuries and can also contribute to a decline in overall health and quality of life. Mimicking aspects of aging, microgravity accelerates skeletal muscle degeneration, with astronauts experiencing up to a 30% reduction in skeletal muscle mass and strength within just one month of spaceflight.

“Spaceflight and exposure to microgravity provides us with an innovative way to study the mechanisms that are occurring at a cellular level to cause muscle degradation,” shares Dr. Coen. “We aim to take what we learn in space to not only help astronauts but to also develop new interventions that slow muscle loss for older adults here on Earth.”

UNITED WAY BROWARD’S MISSION UNITED DISTRIBUTED HUNDREDS OF BACKPACKS TO ACTIVE MILITARY & VETERAN FAMILIES

United Way staff, Miami Dolphin Alumni, and volunteers handed out brand-new backpacks filled with school supplies
August 12, 2025 –  On Wednesday, July 30, United Way Broward’s MISSION UNITED staff and volunteers distributed more than 600 backpacks to military veterans and their families in Broward County. Miami Dolphins alumni Terry Kirby, OJ McDuffie, Lamar Thomas and Shawn Wooden joined the volunteers to distribute the backpacks to show their support.

The donated backpacks were filled by volunteers with an assortment of necessary school supplies, including notebooks, paper, pencils, pens, highlighters, markers, crayons, glue, folders, index cards, scissors, erasers, and more. They were then handed out at United Way Broward’s campus in Fort Lauderdale via drive-through. The brand-new backpacks and school supplies are thanks to the contributions from Castle Group, Response Home Care, Ryan Turner Specialty, DHL, BBX Capital Foundation, and community donors.

“Each year, this initiative helps ease the financial burden for Broward County Veterans and their families by providing essential school supplies for their children,” said James Heaton, Vice President of United Way Broward’s MISSION UNITED. “It’s our privilege to support those who have served by ensuring their families are equipped with the resources they need for a strong start to the school year.”

Sweet treats were provided by Kona Ice. Volunteers from United Way Broward’s NextGen United joined forces with volunteers and staff from the offices of Representative Chip LaMarca and Senator Barbara Sharief to distribute backpacks and support families throughout the day.

NIH scientists lay foundation for potential gene-editing therapy for late-onset Tay-Sachs

Study of human cells and mice may have implications for other lysosomal storage disorders

August 15, 2025 – Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) successfully reduced the severity of late-onset Tay-Sachs (LOTS) disease in human cell cultures and a mouse model by using a novel gene-editing treatment. LOTS is a rare form of Tay-Sachs disease, with signs and symptoms such as muscle weakness, loss of coordination, muscle spasms, and sometimes loss of mental function beginning in late childhood to adulthood. Similar disorders for which this breakthrough has implications include GM1 gangliosidosis, Sandhoff disease, Niemann-Pick disease, Krabbe disease and Gaucher disease.

LOTS is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the HEXA gene that causes a deficiency of an enzyme that is critical to breaking down a fatty substance in the brain, known as GM2 ganglioside. The buildup of this fatty substance damages nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The amount of enzyme still being produced by the body affects the severity of the disease and the age of onset. By deploying the correction to the HEXA gene, scientists were able to increase the activity of the enzyme, known as beta-hexosaminidase A, delay symptom onset and significantly extend lifespan in the mouse model.

“With LOTS, a slight correction will go a long way. This editing may only need to increase enzyme activity by about 10% to keep symptoms from getting worse, and improve their quality of life,” said paper author Dr. Richard Proia of NIH’s National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. “We’ve figured out that opening the door to increased enzyme activity is possible, now we have to figure out how to do it in a person.”
