    Tummy Trouble? Renown Children’s Hospital Adds Another New Specialty, Pediatric Gastroenterology

    Two pediatric gastroenterologists bring life-saving care to kids and make Renown their new home The Renown Children’s Hospital team and our community is celebrating the addition of a new life-saving pediatric specialty to its practice serving children and families in northern Nevada. Parents and guardians will now be able to seek professional pediatric gastroenterologist care with the addition of Drs. Juan Gregory and Kathleen Holland to Renown Medical Group. “Recognizing the importance of diagnosing and caring for children who have conditions that affect the organs in the digestive system, including the stomach, liver and bowel, while also helping children who have issues feeding and eating, is critically important to us at Renown,” said Kristina Deeter, MD, MBA, FAAP, Chair of Pediatrics, University of Nevada Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med) and Physician-in-Chief, Renown Children’s Hospital. “Both Drs. Gregory and Holland are superb clinicians, we are excited to have them join Renown Children’s Hospital to offer pediatric gastroenterology services, including a wide range of complex and vital procedures and screenings, endoscopies and colonoscopies.” Juan Carlos Gregory, MD, has 18 years of experience caring for children in northern Nevada. He is a clinical associate professor of pediatrics at UNR Med with a special interest in celiac disease, abdominal pain, and gastroesophageal reflux in children. Gregory earned his undergraduate degree at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX before completing his medical training, including a residency in pediatrics at the University of San Diego in Pediatrics and fellowships in Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition at both Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC, and at the National Institutes of Health, Digestive Disease Section in Bethesda, MD. He is board-certified in Pediatric Gastroenterology and speaks Spanish. Kathleen Holland, MD, MPH brings a global health perspective to her work caring for children. A graduate of the University of Nevada Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med) with her medical doctorate and her master’s in public health with a social and behavioral health emphasis, she has donated her skills to providing international medical relief for children in Uganda and Nicaragua. Holland earned her undergraduate degree at University of Nevada Reno in Biology, Health Ecology and Healthcare Ethics before completing her medical training and residency in Pediatrics and a fellowship in Pediatric Gastroenterology at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, IN. Her research and scientific interests include vaccination rates and family barriers among children with inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s and colitis, pediatric autoimmune pancreatitis, and cystic fibrosis. How Pediatric Gastroenterologists Help Children and Families The Pediatric Gastroenterology Program at Renown Children’s cares for children experiencing common GI-related problems of childhood; nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, reflux, colic, milk protein allergy, poor growth and feeding difficulties, and sees patients from infancy to 18 years old. “As specialists in the care of children with gastrointestinal and liver problems, we focus on the diagnosis and treatment of these issues,” said Larry Duncan, MD, Vice President of Pediatrics and Surgery & Administrator of Renown Children’s & Women’s Services. “Our physicians play an active role in teaching and research. We have several areas of expertise including prevention, diagnosis and treating disease of the digestive tract including the esophagus, gallbladder, stomach, pancreas, colon, small intestine and liver disease.” Special expertise includes: Pediatric feeding and growing disorders Aerodigestive disorders Food and hypersensitivity disorders Inflammatory bowel disease Celiac disease Liver diseases Children requiring parenteral and enteral nutrition Renown Children’s Hospital is the only dedicated children’s hospital in northern Nevada, offering programs and services for families from a 100,000 square mile area, from Sacramento, CA to Salt Lake City, Utah. Renown Children’s provides the area’s only Children’s Emergency Room, Pediatric ICU (PICU), children’s imaging center and the largest neonatal ICU (NICU), a level III intensive care unit. Specialty Children’s Care at Renown Today, over 90% of families in northern Nevada seek care from the experts at Renown Children’s Hospital. “We are so grateful to the William N. Pennington Foundation for its support in establishing the William N. Pennington Fund for Advance Pediatric Care in 2016, which allowed us to hire our first 15 pediatric specialists,” said Dr. Deeter. “Today we have over 40 pediatric physician specialists at Renown Children’s Hospital who provide care in adolescent medicine, pediatric endocrinology, pediatric hematology/oncology, pediatric pulmonology, pediatric neurology, pediatric nephrology, pediatric infectious diseases, pediatric ophthalmology, pediatric orthopedic surgery, pediatric cleft and craniofacial surgery, pediatric urology, pediatric dentistry, pediatric emergency medicine, and now, pediatric gastroenterology. Our clinicians provide 30,000 patient visits annually, offering an exceptional level of care. The Pennington gift is truly a gift that keeps giving to the families in our area.” Now Being Constructed: Expanded Inpatient Care at Renown Children’s Hospital New construction of an expanded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with increased capacity to 49 bassinets, an expanded Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) with increased capacity to 16 private patient and family rooms, and a new Renown Children's Hospital inpatient floor with increased capacity for 38 private patient and family rooms for a total capacity of 58 pediatric beds are currently being constructed on Tahoe Tower, Level 5 of Renown Regional Medical Center. It is expected that the new units will open to patients and families in April 2023. In the most recent US News & World Report Best Hospital rankings, Renown Regional Medical Center was named as the number one hospital in Nevada. Ningún otro hospital del estado cumplió con sus estrictos estándares para el ranking de 2021. Renown Health is High Performing, its highest rating possible, in eight procedures and conditions including Heart Failure, Colon Cancer Surgery and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Hip Replacement and Knee Replacement. A hospital's score is based on multiple data categories, including patient outcomes, safety, and volumes. Los hospitales calificados como sobresalientes eran significativamente mejores que el promedio nacional. Renown Medical Group is an in-network provider for Hometown Health and other health plans. Drs. Gregory and Holland are pleased to see new patients at their location at the Renown Children’s Subspecialty Clinic inside Renown Regional Medical Center at 75 Pringle Way, Suite 505, Reno, Nev.

    Panda Express dona EPP y pollo a la naranja al Renown Children’s Hospital

    Panda dona 26,000 máscaras, dinero efectivo y amor en forma de pollo a la naranja a los héroes locales de atención médica. Hoy, la fundación de Renown Health anunció que Panda Express®, a través de su rama filantrópica Panda Cares, ha donado 26,000 mascarillas de protección personal a los trabajadores de atención médica como parte del compromiso continuo de la marca de restaurante chino-estadounidense para apoyar a los profesionales de atención médica que trabajan en las primeras líneas de Reno, Nevada. “At Panda, we are deeply appreciative to Renown Children’s Hospital and thank every staff member for their heroic work to serve those in need, especially the children and families in our community. We hope that these donations not only provide physical support but also encouragement to continue to fight the good fight!” said Peggy Cherng, co-CEO and co-founder of Panda Restaurant Group. “These heroic men and women continue to dedicate their lives to save the loved ones of others, and we are honored to contribute in this way and provide some comfort and care during this difficult time. Thank you to our guests’ generosity to make these donations happen—we are stronger together, as one community. ”With shortage of masks in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, this donation fulfills an essential need to ensure the health and well-being of the hospital staff and their patients. The Panda Express donation includes: 26,000 mascarillas quirúrgicas Donación de $30,000 para comprar exclusivamente equipo de protección personal (EPP) 200 comidas calientes de Panda Express® para los héroes de atención médica de primera línea que prestan servicios en las unidades de COVID-19. El Renown Children’s es el único hospital infantil dedicado en el norte de Nevada, que ofrece atención pediátrica de emergencia, programas y servicios para familias en un radio de 100,000 de millas cuadradas, desde Sacramento, CA, hasta Salt Lake City, Utah. Renown Children’s provides the area’s only Children’s Emergency Room, Pediatric ICU (PICU), children’s imaging center and the largest neonatal ICU (NICU), a level III intensive care unit. “Dirigidos por un equipo de 22 médicos pediátricos especialistas, los médicos clínicos de Renown Children’s atienden más de 50,000 visitas de pacientes al año, lo que ofrece un nivel excepcional de atención para ayudar a las familias. Como testimonio de la confianza de la comunidad en la atención prestada, y de nuestros generosos donantes, ahora atendemos a 9 de cada 10 niños aquí mismo, en el norte de Nevada. Formerly, families had to travel out of our area to receive pediatric specialty care,” said Larry Duncan, Vice President of Pediatrics and Surgery & Administrator, Renown Children's Hospital. “We thank the co-CEOs and co-founders of Panda Express Andrew and Peggy Cherng and all of the Panda associates for their fundraising and this generous and important donation. We are prepared- always, to care for our community and our children. We are very grateful for our long-term partnership with the local Panda Express restaurant team, who are always there for us,” said Tony Slonim, MD, D.Ph., president and CEO, Renown Health. Desde que comenzó la asociación con los restaurantes locales de Panda Express en 2007, los fondos recaudados en apoyo de Renown han proporcionado casi medio millón de dólares para apoyar a los pacientes y sus familias en el Renown Children’s Hospital, lo que incluye: Giraffe Omni-beds for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; Ultrasound machine for the Children’s ER; Panda warmers and an Accuvein machine which locates the veins beneath the skin’s surface; Child Life Program to support sick patients and families; Meeting room in the Children’s Specialty Center; In-kind donations, volunteer time and support of local events such as the University of Nevada- Reno, Wolf Pack Dance Marathon. “We are very fortunate to have such generous partners like Panda Express. They truly want to help our patients and their families, as well as our pediatric healthcare teams. They’ve been working with Renown Health Foundation to support Renown Children’s Hospital for several years and have inspired us with their generosity and willingness to help children,” said Greg Walaitis, Chief Development Officer, Renown Health Foundation. “It also comes at the time when children across the country are at risk for COVID-19 and a new condition called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). This is serious illness whereby different body parts become inflamed and the child requires admission to a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. MIS-C is a serious condition, even deadly occasionally, but most children who were diagnosed with this condition have gotten better with medical care. La causa exacta del MIS-C aún se está investigando, pero sabemos que muchos niños con MIS-C tenían una infección por COVID-19 o habían estado físicamente cerca de alguien con COVID-19. As we too are dealing with these new medical challenges, we value community support and this donation from Panda Cares is most appreciated,” said Max J. Coppes M.D., Professor & Nell J. Redfield Chair of Pediatrics, Physician-in-Chief, Renown Children’s Hospital. Puede brindar apoyo al Renown Children’s Hospital de las siguientes maneras: Realice una donación en renown.org/give.

    Renown Health concede subvenciones a organizaciones del área que abordan la diversidad y la inclusión

    Funds used to support those addressing demographic diversity and Social Determinants of Health to improve the health of our community. Renown Health, en consonancia con su misión, visión y valores y con su compromiso de larga data de abordar los determinantes sociales de la salud, ha anunciado hoy que pondrá a disposición hasta $20,000 durante el año fiscal 2020 para financiar proyectos y organizaciones cuyo objetivo sea aumentar la presencia y la participación de las mujeres, las minorías raciales y étnicas, las personas LBGTQ+, las personas con discapacidad, las personas de bajo nivel socioeconómico y otros grupos poco representados. Renown Health strongly prefers proposals that convincingly demonstrate their potential to improve the health and wellness of northern Nevadans. The organization wishes to express its interest in supporting programs that enhance collaboration, health literacy and communication, and enhance cultural competency. “Improving the health of our community is the foundation of our work. Our mission, vision and values are the essence of what makes us Renown. We are committed to fostering an environment of diversity, inclusion and cultural competence where all are appreciated, fully engaged and motivated to make a genuine, positive difference in the health and well-being of the people and communities we serve,” said Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, Renown’s President & CEO. As the Kaiser Family Foundation noted in recent research: “Los investigadores descubrieron que los factores sociales, como la educación, la segregación racial, los apoyos sociales y la pobreza, representaban más de un tercio del total de muertes en los Estados Unidos en un año”. https://www.ajmc.com/contributor/sophia- bernazzani/2016/05/the-importance-of-considering-the-social-determinants-of-health# Annie Zucker, gerente de Impacto Comunitario de Renown, añade: “Los determinantes sociales de la salud tienen una gran repercusión en los resultados de salud, especialmente para las poblaciones más vulnerables. I am proud that Renown, as a not-for-profit healthcare organization, considers social determinants of health to enable more compassionate and comprehensive healthcare for the patients and families we serve.” According to the CDC, it has been well-established that poverty inhibits access to healthy foods and safe neighborhoods, and that higher levels of education influence better health. El impacto de estos factores en la salud se define en Healthy People 2020 como determinantes sociales de la salud: “Social determinants of health are conditions in the environments in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.” When resources are available to overcome negative social determinants of health, they can have a significant impact on improving population health outcomes. “Through diversity, inclusiveness and cultural competence we are able to better understand and respond to the health needs of our communities. We are committed to continually cultivating an environment of cultural inclusiveness. When you have a culture that acknowledges and engages everyone, the opportunities for personal growth and organizational effectiveness are limitless,” said Hector Boirie, MBA, Chief Strategy Officer. “Renown Health provides access to care with dignity and respect for all. We recognize and respect every human being, regardless of race, creed, gender, age, handicap, national origin or ability to pay. We give competent, considerate and respectful care in a safe setting that fosters a person’s comfort and dignity and is free from all forms of abuse and harassment, including gender identity or gender expression,” says Melinda Mendoza, BSN, JD, CPC, CHC, CHPC, Chief Compliance Officer. “This is a Renown Health patient right and we are proud of our organizational commitment.” Renown Health is also an Equal Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, national origin, ancestry, age, genetic information, disability, or protected veteran status. “I am so pleased to serve as Renown’s Chief Financial Officer. En los EE. UU., menos del 13 % de los puestos de director financiero están ocupados por mujeres. How proud I am to help lead an organization that focuses on attracting talent based on individual competency and kindness, rather than gender, race, religion or sexual orientation,” says Ann Beck. Renown Health prefiere enfáticamente que las propuestas sumen un total aproximado de $2,500 o menos, ya que prevé financiar a 8 organizaciones. Renown Health ha puesto a disposición esta financiación adicional para el año fiscal 2020. Normalmente, financia proyectos solo durante 6 meses, y recibe las solicitudes de renovación de la financiación en los años posteriores. Se invita a todas las organizaciones 501c3 sin fines de lucro con oficinas que sirvan a los residentes del norte de Nevada a que presenten sus propuestas antes del jueves, 25 de junio de 2020. Renown Health revisará las propuestas y tomará decisiones de financiación antes del lunes, 29 de junio de 2020. Renown Health desembolsará los fondos de las subvenciones antes del martes, 30 de junio de 2020. As non-profit hospitals, Renown must meet community benefit requirements to qualify for tax- exempt status, this includes funding programs that respond to public health needs and improve overall community health.

    Juntos marcamos la diferencia: adolescentes donan más de 1,300 mascarillas faciales a héroes de la atención médica

    Tres adolescentes de Los Ángeles convocaron a sus compañeros de la escuela secundaria para recaudar fondos y donar más de 1,300 mascarillas faciales para los empleados de Renown Health.  Mientras muchos adolescentes reflexionaban sobre los hitos perdidos, como el baile de graduación y el acto de graduación, que no se realizaron como consecuencia de la pandemia de COVID-19, tres estudiantes de último año de secundaria de Los Ángeles se sintieron inspiradas para marcar la diferencia. Las amigas Jessica Gestetner, Amanda Rosenthal y Katherine Konvitz organizaron una campaña de recaudación de fondos con sus compañeros de clase y compraron más de 1,300 mascarillas para el personal de Renown Health.  “Mis amigas y yo queríamos ayudar a nuestros médicos y enfermeras porque están afuera salvando vidas mientras nosotros tenemos la suerte de permanecer en casa y con salud”, declaró Gestetner “Recaudamos más de $3,500 y lo hemos gastado en mascarillas KN-95 para los héroes en Renown. This was our way of thanking all the healthcare workers for their selfless service.”  Why did these LA teens choose Renown Health for this donation? Katherine Konvitz tiene un amigo de la familia que trabaja en Renown, y así fue como las adolescentes se enteraron de la petición de apoyo comunitario de la organización para reunir mascarillas faciales y otros equipos de protección personal. Gracias a esta importante donación, Renown superó su objetivo de conseguir 10,000 mascarillas faciales donadas por la comunidad a fin de beneficiar a los empleados que trabajan en primera línea para ayudar a mantener la seguridad de la comunidad. “Puedo imaginar lo difícil que son estos tiempos para nuestros jóvenes, ya que no pueden ir a la escuela, pasar tiempo con sus amigos y experimentar todas las actividades que se consideran un rito de paso para muchos”, reflexionó Tony Slonim, MD, D.Ph., presidente y director ejecutivo de Renown Health. “I applaud the incredible act of kindness displayed by Jessica, Amanda and Katherine to give back to our staff, despite the challenging circumstances. We are extremely fortunate to have the generosity and support of northern Nevadans and people across the country as we work to improve the health and well-being of the people and communities we serve.”   Aside from their face mask contribution, Ms. Gestetner, Rosenthal and Konvitz also made a financial donation to Renown’s Healthcare Workers Greatest Needs fund, where donations are directed to address the highest needs our healthcare teams are currently facing as they continue to screen, diagnose and care for patients with respiratory illness, including COVID-19.

    Elementary Schoolers: Take Part in Free Virtual Vision Screening

    Renown Children’s Hospital pediatric ophthalmologist Dr. Mitchell Strominger hosts state-wide virtual event to provide routine vison screenings for children and Walk with a Doc. El Dr. Mitchell Strominger, oftalmólogo pediátrico del Renown Children’s Hospital, organizará el evento virtual “Walk with a Doc” (Recorrido con un médico) el domingo, 14 de junio a las 10 a.m. para niños de escuela primaria y sus padres. During this free event, Dr. Strominger will give a brief, kid-friendly talk about the importance of routine vision screenings and show parents how to conduct a vision screening with their kids at home. He will close out the morning session with a live Q&A. Following the event, families are encouraged to get outside and enjoy a walk in the great outdoors. The event is sponsored by Renown Children’s Hospital and free to participants, however you must register to receive the link to attend. “Vision is important for learning, experiencing new things and interacting with others, which is why it’s critical for children to get vision screenings early and routinely,” said Dr. Strominger. “The best time to screen a child’s vision is kindergarten through third grade as the cells in the brain responsible for vision are continuously developing up until age eight. If we detect vision problems early, we here at Renown Children’s Hospital have the expertise and technology to correct these vision problems and enable children to live healthy, productive lives.” Individuals who register for this event will be emailed a vision-screening sheet to help facilitate an at-home screening, as well as a form to send back to their child’s pediatrician or pediatric ophthalmologist upon completion to determine the best course of action. El Dr. Strominger agregó: “Muchos padres y colegios han pospuesto los exámenes de la visión debido al cierre de los colegios por la COVID-19, a las dudas respecto de la seguridad al salir de casa o a los posibles costos financieros. I am pleased to host this virtual event on behalf of Renown Children’s Hospital, to engage kids and parents in a conversation on the importance of vision and to remind the community that we are here to help and provide the care they need, both in-person and virtually—be it over a smart phone, tablet or computer screen.” Este evento virtual se llevará a cabo en el recién renovado Fianna’s Healing Garden, que reabrirá sus puertas a finales de este mes y el 100 % de su renovación se financió con donaciones a través de la fundación de Renown Health. Located in the heart of Renown Regional Medical Center, the healing garden serves as place to enjoy the serenity and beauty of the outdoors. El Dr. Strominger es uno de los 26 subespecialistas pediátricos reclutados en Renown Children’s Hospital desde 2016, gracias a la donación de $7.5 millones que Pennington Foundation realizó a la fundación de Renown Health sin fines de lucro para expandir los servicios de salud de los niños. June marks the four-year anniversary of the Nevada Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ (Nevada APP) participation in the national Walk with A Doc event. Dr. Strominger is the secretary and treasurer for the Nevada AAP. El Renown Children’s Hospital se dedica a ayudar a los niños a sentirse bienvenidos, seguros y bien atendidos. Este centro abarca desde especialidades pediátricas, atención en la sala de emergencias y cirugía las 24 horas, los 7 días de la semana, hasta el diagnóstico por imágenes, la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) pediátrica y los especialistas en vida infantil.
