BROWARD HEALTH AGAIN DECREASES MILLAGE RATE REDUCING TAX-ASSISTED REVENUES BY MORE THAN $19 MILLION
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA September 19, 2024 – Reflective of the exceptional year experienced by Broward Health in Fiscal Year 24 – running July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024 – the North Broward Hospital District Board of Commissioners tonight unanimously voted to cut taxes. The millage rate reduction from 1.4307 to 1.3261 will result in $19.7 million less in tax revenues for Broward Health and is greater than the county proposed rollback rate.
“Broward Health continues to make remarkable progress, increasing our patient volumes and revenues,” said Shane Strum, President & CEO of Broward Health. “Despite increasing demand for uncompensated care, our growth has enabled us to offset public support.”

Cleveland Clinic Study Shows Bariatric Surgery Outperforms GLP-1 Diabetes Drugs for Kidney Protection
SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 – Bariatric surgery was shown to protect kidney function and reduce the risk of kidney failure in study participants when compared to GLP-1 medications
A Cleveland Clinic study showed that in patients with type 2 diabetes, obesity, and chronic kidney disease, bariatric surgery was associated with a significant decrease in the progression of chronic kidney disease compared to those who received GLP-1 diabetes medications. The paper was published in Annals of Surgery.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 7 U.S. adults are estimated to have chronic kidney disease, which can lead to renal failure. Chronic kidney disease is the longstanding disease of the kidneys which can lead to renal failure. Kidneys filter waste through the blood. As kidneys begin to fail, that waste can build up. Some patients need dialysis, which filters the blood through a machine.

Sept. 19 2024- Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center is the first hospital in the Southeastern United States to successfully implement the SavvyWire® guidewire technology in transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) Valve-in-Valve procedures.

Worldwide, cancer is a leading cause of death, accounting for nearly 10 million — nearly 1 in 6 — deaths in 2020, according to the World Health Organization.

Biden-Harris Administration Advances Women’s Health Through Affordable Care Act Grants in 14 States, D.C.
Almost $9 million in grant funding will help women in 14 states and D.C. access critical health benefits available through the ACA
SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 – In its ongoing commitment to support women’s health, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), today launched an innovative grant program to provide almost $9 million to improve women’s health coverage and access to critical health benefits. These funds may be used to develop activities and launch educational campaigns to address disparities in access to reproductive health care and maternal health outcomes – many of which often result from challenges women face when trying to access information about available benefits or coverage, including for contraception and other family planning services. The Expanding Access to Women’s Health program grantees include the District of Columbia and the following 14 states: Arkansas, Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.
“While some try to prevent women from receiving health care, President Biden and Vice President Harris have remained laser focused on improving access, particularly for reproductive and maternal care,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “This Administration is improving and strengthening women’s health care. We will continue using every tool at our disposal to ensure that women can make the best health decisions for themselves and their families.”

Bone marrow cancer drug shows success in treatment of rare blood disorder
NIH-supported clinical trial is the first positive trial for treatment of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.
September 19, 2024- A clinical trial supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was stopped early after researchers found sufficient evidence that a drug used to treat bone marrow cancer and Kaposi sarcoma is safe and effective in treating hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a rare bleeding disorder that affects 1 in 5,000 people worldwide. The trial results, which are published in the New England Journal of Medicine, detail how patients with HHT given the drug, called pomalidomide, experienced a significant reduction in the severity of nosebleeds, needed fewer of the blood transfusions and iron infusions that HHT often demands, and showed improved quality of life.
“Finding a therapeutic agent that works in a rare disorder is highly uncommon, so this is a real success story,” said Andrei Kindzelski, M.D., Ph.D., of NIH’s National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. “Before our trial, there was no reliable therapeutic to treat people with HHT. This discovery will give people who suffer with this disease a positive outlook and better quality of life.”
