From Military Service to Medical Excellence
November 7, 2024 – Daniel Klinger, M.D., FAANS, a retired Lieutenant Colonel from the U.S. Army, once served on the front lines in Baghdad, Iraq, providing lifesaving care in a combat zone. Today, he continues to make a profound impact, saving lives as a neurosurgeon at Broward Health Medical Center in South Florida.
Growing up in a military family, Dr. Klinger was inspired by his father, an Army infantry officer, but chose to pursue his own path. Becoming the first in his family to attend medical school, Dr. Klinger focused on a career in medicine, ultimately specializing in neurosurgery. Years later, his sense of duty led him back to the military, where he served actively from 2016 to 2022, including a deployment to Baghdad. As part of a head and neck surgical detachment, he and his team provided essential surgical care to American soldiers, contractors, and Iraqi forces.

Memorial’s Heart Transplant Program Celebrates Ten Years of Life-Saving Impact
November 6, 2024 – More than ten years after she received the first adult heart transplant in Broward County, Marina Alix still gets emotional when she thinks back to that time.
“I’m alive,” she says in Spanish, “and I cry because I was on the verge of dying.”
In 2014, Marina was suffering from end-stage heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy. With Memorial Cardiac and Vascular Institute having gotten approval to perform adult heart transplants earlier that year, and an appropriate donor heart available, the Davie resident underwent surgery that September.
Today, Iani Patsias, MD, a cardiologist at Memorial Healthcare System specializing in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology, sees Marina every six months. The visits are to ensure the 61-year-old remains in good health, and dancing, which is one of her passions.

MOUNT SINAI MEDICAL CENTER FOUNDATION TO PARTICIPATE IN GIVE MIAMI DAY
The Non-Profit Medical Center is Participating in The Miami Foundation’s Give Miami Day 2024 for the first time.
Mount Sinai is participating in Give Miami Day 2024 on November 21, 2024, with Early Giving beginning November 17th
November 7, 2024 – 2024 marks Mount Sinai Medical Center’s first time participating in Give Miami Day, a community-wide event organized by The Miami Foundation to raise funds for local non-profits. For almost 75 years, Mount Sinai has delivered on its mission to provide high-quality health care to our diverse community, enhanced through teaching, research, charity care, and financial responsibility. The medical center’s participation cements our dedication caring for the South Florida community.
In 2023 alone, Mount Sinai Medical Center contributed over $200 million in charity care, including $62 million in emergency care, $14.7 in care of the homeless, and $8.4 in cancer care. Because 16% of Miami-Dade County citizens are uninsured — 3% higher than the Florida average — charity care is vital to removing barriers and providing access to high-quality health care.
Give Miami Day serves as a financial lifeline for over 1,000 non-profits, making it The Miami Foundation’s largest annual initiative. Additionally, all of the funds are unrestricted, allowing for flexibility in spending.

Hourglass-shaped stent could ease severe chest pain from microvascular disease
November 7, 2024- — A study at Mayo Clinic suggests that an hourglass-shaped stent could improve blood flow and ease severe and reoccurring chest pain in people with microvascular disease. Of 30 participants in a phase 2 clinical trial, 76% saw improvement in their day-to-day life. For example, some participants who reported not being able to walk around the block or up a flight of stairs without chest pain were able to do these ordinary physical activities at the end of a 120-day period. Clinical measures of blood flow related to the microvasculature of the heart significantly improved during follow-up, according to findings published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Interventions.
Microvascular disease is a condition in which tiny blood vessels in the heart are not working properly, resulting in reduced blood flow to the heart. The resulting chest pains, or angina, can be debilitating, limiting a person’s ability to exercise, do household chores or even walk to the mailbox. About 40% of patients receiving a diagnostic coronary angiogram for chest pain do not have blocked arteries that also can cause angina. However, up to 66% of these patients do have coronary microvascular disease, which is more common in women overall and found in people with conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity.
For decades, there have been few viable treatment options to improve blood flow through the tiny vessels of the heart. At most, doctors have treated symptoms of angina with several medications and cardiovascular disease prevention methods, including healthy eating, weight loss and regular exercise. The use of a stent could target the issue behind the chest pain — the severe reduction in blood flow affecting the heart muscle.

Mayo Clinic researchers recommend alternatives to hysterectomy for uterine fibroids, according to study
November 7, 2024 — Uterine fibroids are a common condition that affects up to 80% of women in their lifetime. Nearly half of those women will experience symptoms that affect their quality of life and fertility, including severe pain and anemia. Uterine fibroids are the major reason for the removal of the uterus by hysterectomy. However, Mayo Clinic researchers recommend minimally invasive treatment alternatives to hysterectomy, in an invited clinical practice paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
“Less invasive treatments can help women recover faster and resume their normal activities more quickly. Additionally, many studies have now shown that there are health benefits to keeping the uterus and the ovaries,” says Shannon Laughlin-Tommaso, M.D., Mayo Clinic OB-GYN and co-lead author of the paper.
Removing the uterus, even while sparing the ovaries, increases the risks of cardiovascular disease, depression, anxiety and higher mortality. These risks are higher for people who get their uteruses removed at a young age.

The Florida BrainLink Initiative (FBLI) Announces the Launch of Pioneering, Non-invasive Treatment for Post-Stroke Patients
November 7, 2024 – The Florida BrainLink Initiative (FBLI) announces the launch of a pioneering, non-invasive treatment for post-stroke patients provided exclusively through its board-certified neurosurgeons.
The Florida BrainLink Initiative was created to positively impact patients challenged with stroke recovery. It is all too common to hear that “a plateau has been reached” or that “one needs to be satisfied with the progress that they have made.” The FBLI neurosurgeons are pioneers in this first-ever protocol that combines cutting-edge technology in brain imaging with an established therapy known as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This is used to target and treat precise areas of the brain that are affected by damage caused by stroke.
Utilizing state-of-the-art brain mapping technology, the neurosurgeons are able to pinpoint individual pathways within the brain that are damaged. They then can repair and enhance function through the application of TMS, a proven treatment method currently utilized for depression. Unlike traditional TMS treatments, FBLI and its neurosurgeons are uniquely qualified to navigate and target specific pathways within the brain that have not been accessible for treatment. This approach offers new hope for post-stroke patients who have plateaued in their recovery and failed traditional methods of treatment and therapies.

Attributed to Aisha Pittman, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs of the National Association of ACOs
November 7, 2024 – “NAACOS congratulates ACO REACH Model participants for their exceptional performance in 2023.

Overall, 73 percent of ACOs earned savings, demonstrating the model’s effectiveness. ACOs were able to reinvest $948 million in savings to provide better patient care leading to improved quality scores between 2022 and 2023.
“Despite the lack of opportunities for new ACOS to join, the ACO REACH Model has continued to grow in the number of participating clinicians, with more than 173,000 participating in 2024.
