    Renown Health Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program Certified by American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation

    Renown Health is proud to announce the certification of its pulmonary rehabilitation program by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). This certification is recognition of Renown Health’s commitment to improving the quality of life of patients by enhancing standards of care. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs are designed to help people with pulmonary problems (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], respiratory symptoms, long COVID-19) recover faster and live healthier. Both programs include exercise, education, counseling and support for patients and their families. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, COPD impacts 16 million people across the United States, and 1 in 13 adults (7.5%) have “long COVID” symptoms, defined as symptoms lasting three or more months after first contracting the virus, and that they didn’t have prior to their COVID-19 infection. "We are thrilled to receive this certification from the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation for our pulmonary rehabilitation program at Renown South Meadows Medical Center. This recognition underscores Renown Health's unwavering dedication to providing the highest standards of care and improving the lives of our patients, no matter what life throws at them,” said Sam Weller, MHPA CEO of Renown South Meadows Medical Center and Renown Rehabilitation Hospital. “Our commitment to excellence shines through in every aspect of our programs, and this certification reinforces our ongoing mission to make a positive impact on the health and well-being of the people of northern Nevada." To earn this accreditation, Renown Health’s pulmonary rehabilitation program participated in an application process that requires extensive documentation of the program’s practices. AACVPR Program Certification is the only peer-review accreditation process designed to review individual programs for adherence to standards and guidelines developed and published by AACVPR and other related professional societies. Each program’s application is reviewed by the AACVPR Program Certification Committee, and certification is awarded by the AACVPR Board of Directors. "At Renown Health, our pulmonary rehabilitation program is designed with our patients in mind. Our focus includes physical exercise, extending to education, counseling and support for both patients and their families,” said John Lynn, Manager of Respiratory Services at Renown Health. “This AACVPR certification is a testament to our team's hard work and dedication in ensuring that individuals with pulmonary conditions receive the best possible care to enhance their quality of life." In 2018, AACVPR moved to an outcomes-based process with performance measurements that represent more meaningful outcomes. Therefore, AACVPR-certified programs are leaders in the cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation field because they offer the most advanced practices available and have proven track records of high-quality patient care. AACVPR Program Certification is valid for three years. About Renown Health Renown Health is Nevada’s largest, not-for-profit integrated healthcare network serving Nevada, Lake Tahoe, and northeast California.

Central to the core mission is improvement in quality of life for patients and their families.

Dr. Cooper comes to the area from the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine where she served for seven years as clinical associate and then full professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Neurosciences, and associate training director for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.   Dr. Cooper previously served as associate medical director for the Riverside University Health System and Riverside County Department of Mental Health providing clinical and operational oversight for four regional psychiatric county clinics, and as an adjunct instructor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine. As a double board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist, she also established a successful solo private practice serving patients from diverse backgrounds.  At UC Riverside, Dr. Cooper held significant academic and leadership roles including vice chair of education, residency program director, chair of the Admissions Committee and equity advisor. Dr. Cooper will now build on the strong foundation established by Dr. Josh Fitzgerald, interim chair of the department, who will now serve as director of research for the department.  Dr. Cooper will be responsible with Steve Shell, vice president of the Stacie Mathewson Behavioral Health & Addiction Institute at Renown Health, for leading the Behavioral Health Program at the Institute where a team of nine psychiatrists, nurse practitioners and licensed professionals and counselors provide intensive outpatient treatment, partial hospitalization programs, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Esketamine, hospital-based assessment and medication-assisted treatment to serve those struggling with mental illness and addiction across northern Nevada, Lake Tahoe and northern California.  “We are delighted to have Dr. Cooper join the UNR Med/Renown team,” said Paul J.

Prior to medical school, she obtained a Master of Science degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from UC Riverside and her bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from UC Santa Barbara.  Dr. Cooper’s research explores the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on mental health outcomes in children and adults. She served as a clinical co-PI on a U54 funded grant aimed at reducing health disparities by engaging in community-based participatory research partnerships. “Dr. Cooper is an energetic, collaborative physician, researcher and mentor who cares deeply about improving the mental health and well-being of adults and children,” said Brian Erling, MD, MBA, President and CEO, Renown Health. “This is an exceptionally exciting time to advance health equity and to help improve mental health outcomes for people and communities across northern Nevada. We are excited that Dr. Cooper is joining our team. I know her talent, energy and leadership will further elevate our mission of outstanding care, exceptional training, innovative research, impactful advocacy and innovative community partnerships in mental health and addiction medicine.” Dr. Cooper is recognized for her passion for high-quality patient care and supports future practitioners through rigorous and culturally informed undergraduate and graduate medical education, research, and community collaboration.

    Nine Additional Anesthesiologists Join New Local Practice Serving Patients at Four Renown Hospitals

    Group improves diagnosis, medical management and quality of life for patients. If you are preparing for a surgical procedure, you have probably given a lot of thought to the education, training and experience of the surgeon performing the procedure. But you may not have thought much about the anesthesiologist or the importance of his or her expertise in your procedure — before, during, and after — to keep you safe and comfortable. “As the region’s only not-for-profit integrated healthcare network and Trauma Center, we are trusted and chosen by patients as the #1 provider of inpatient care, including surgeries, for northern Nevada, Lake Tahoe and northeast California. To continue to serve the needs of hundreds of surgeons and thousands of patients with safe, high quality and effective anesthesia coverage, we now employ sixty anesthesiologists through our Department of Surgery through Renown Medical Group Anesthesiology, a new local practice providing services to patients in northern Nevada,” said Sy Johnson, MBA, President of Renown Health.

    56 anestesiólogos se unen a Renown Health para brindar servicios de alta calidad a pacientes y cirujanos del área

    Innovative anesthesiology practice improves diagnosis, medical management and quality of life for patient. If you are preparing for a surgical procedure, you have probably given a lot of thought to the education, training and experience of the surgeon performing the procedure. Sin embargo, es posible que no haya pensado mucho sobre el médico anestesiólogo o la importancia de su experiencia médica en su procedimiento, antes, durante y después, para mantenerlo seguro y cómodo. “Nuestro equipo de liderazgo ha pensado mucho en los médicos anestesiólogos durante el año pasado”, afirma Sy Johnson, MBA, presidente y jefe de personal de Renown Health. “Como la única red de atención médica integrada sin fines de lucro y el único centro de urgencias de la región, los pacientes confían en nosotros y los eligen como el proveedor principal de cuidados para pacientes hospitalizados, así como de cirugías, en el norte de Nevada, Lake Tahoe y el noreste de California. Para satisfacer las necesidades de cientos de cirujanos y miles de pacientes con una cobertura de anestesia segura, de alta calidad y eficaz, ahora empleamos a cincuenta y seis anestesiólogos a través de nuestro Departamento de Cirugía y hemos establecido Renown Medical Group Anesthesiology, un nuevo consultorio local para el norte de Nevada”. “Los anestesiólogos de Renown Medical Group brindan cobertura quirúrgica y de procedimientos las 24 horas en función de las habilidades clínicas, las preferencias del cirujano y las preferencias del paciente. Los pacientes que elijan Renown para su cuidado pueden sentirse seguros de que están recibiendo anestesia de un médico anestesiólogo que ha obtenido la certificación de la Junta. Los hospitales de Renown Health se complacen en brindar atención al paciente exclusivamente por parte de los médicos anestesiólogos”, afirma Thomas Graf, MD, FAAFP, director ejecutivo, director clínico y director de calidad de Renown Health y decano asociado sénior de Asuntos Clínicos en la Facultad de Medicina de la University of Nevada, Reno. “Somos los médicos capacitados para administrarle la anestesia a un paciente y controlarla durante un procedimiento quirúrgico para garantizar que el cuidado en torno a la anestesia sea lo más seguro y eficaz posible”, explica Nariman Rahimzadeh, MD El Dr. Rahimzadeh se desempeña como director médico y jefe de personal de Renown South Meadows Medical Center, es miembro del nuevo grupo y ha ejercido en Reno durante quince años. “También desempeñamos un papel clave en el cuidado de los pacientes que se someten a una cirugía menor o que pueden no requerir anestesia general, como las mujeres en trabajo de parto que necesitan estar despiertas y alerta, pero que requieren un manejo eficaz del dolor”. “Nuestra práctica innovadora del centro anestesiológico ahora está a cargo de cincuenta y seis anestesiólogos. Estamos brindando servicios a pacientes y cirujanos en hospitales de Renown Health con un modelo de cuidado completamente integrado para mejorar el diagnóstico, la administración médica y la calidad de vida”, afirma Christos Galanopoulos, MD, MBA, MSc, FACS; presidente del Departamento de Cirugía y vicepresidente de Renown Health. “Nos esforzamos por lograr avances en la anestesia a través de la excelencia clínica, la educación, la innovación y las personas. Nuestro personal médico reconocido a nivel nacional, y el equipo de apoyo dedicado realizan la mayoría de los procedimientos de anestesia en nuestro mercado, y evalúan, monitorean y supervisan el cuidado de los pacientes antes, durante y después de la cirugía para administrar anestesia de manera eficaz y garantizar una seguridad óptima del paciente”. “Los médicos anestesiólogos tienen entre 12 y 14 años de formación, incluida la facultad de medicina, y entre 12,000 y 16,000 horas de capacitación clínica”, agrega Scott Parkhill, MD, FASA, quien se desempeña como director médico y vicepresidente de personal en el Renown Regional Medical Center y es miembro del nuevo grupo. “Los médicos anestesiólogos de los Estados Unidos cursan una carrera universitaria de cuatro años que incluye la satisfacción de los requisitos previos a la carrera de medicina. Al igual que los demás médicos, deben seguir la formación de grado con cuatro años de estudios de medicina. Después de la facultad de medicina, un médico especializado en anestesiología completa un programa de residencia en anestesiología de cuatro años. Luego de completar un programa de residencia, los residentes son elegibles para participar en el examen de la Junta Estadounidense de Anestesiología (American Board of Anesthesiology, ABA). Nos complace que todos nuestros anestesiólogos de Renown Medical Group cuenten con la certificación de la Junta”. Kelsey Larsen, MBA, directora de operaciones de Renown Medical Group, agrega: “Estamos encantados de dar la bienvenida y emplear a cuarenta y dos médicos anestesiólogos que se incorporaron el 1 de abril. Otros nueve médicos se unieron la semana pasada y otros cinco han solicitado comenzar durante el verano, lo cual suma un total de 56 anestesiólogos que se han unido a Renown Health para brindar servicios a los pacientes”. Los pacientes que recibieron atención incluyen pacientes del Renown Regional Medical Center, el único centro de urgencias de Nivel II entre Sacramento y Salt Lake City, y el mejor hospital en el Estado de Nevada según el ranking de mejores hospitales de U.S. News and World Report de 2021.

    Renown Health amplía el requisito de vacunación contra la Covid-19

    Proteger a los empleados y a sus familias; brindar a los pacientes el nivel más alto y seguro de atención y apoyar la salud pública Renown Health, uno de los empleadores privados más grandes de la región, con una fuerza laboral de casi 7,000 personas y una red de atención médica integrada sin fines de lucro que sirve a más de un millón de personas en todo Nevada, notificó hoy a sus empleados que apoyará la regulación de emergencia nacional y exigirá la vacunación contra la COVID-19 a todos los empleados de Renown Health Communicating to employees today, Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, President & CEO, wrote, “For the last nineteen months, we have done everything humanly possible to care for patients, our community and each other- and to keep people safe from COVID-19. Despite these efforts, too many people have fallen ill, suffered long-term effects or lost those they loved to this deadly disease.” He added, “I believe that as the leading anchor institution for our community, we are obligated to set a clear example of our trust in data and science, and to hold ourselves to the highest ethical and professional standards to keep our community safe. It is clear that the vaccine is safe and effective in reducing illness and saving lives and we encourage everyone who is medically able to do so, and within their religious guidelines, to get vaccinated.” Dr. Slonim thanked his staff for “heeding the call for vaccination and protecting those in our care who are ill and physically vulnerable, and ensuring a safe, COVID-19-free environment for them and for each other.” Al día de hoy, el 80 % del total de 6,750 empleados de Renown Health ya se han vacunado o cuentan con una exención o un aplazamiento aprobado. El 4 de noviembre, la administración de Biden-Harris anunció la vacunación obligatoria contra la COVID-19 del personal elegible en centros de atención médica que participan en los programas de Medicare y Medicaid. La American Hospital Association, la American Medical Association y múltiples sociedades nacionales que representan a profesionales médicos y al menos a 174 organizaciones de atención médica a nivel nacional han recomendado que se exija la vacunación a todo el personal de atención médica como condición de empleo. COVID-19 vaccination prevents serious illness, hospitalization and death. Documented declines in cases since mass vaccination began prove the COVID-19 vaccines are both safe and effective, and are crucial to decreasing the spread of the virus. Renown’s requirement applies to all employees, new hires and students. Chief Medical Officers strongly endorse the mandate. “Our role is to provide the safest, highest-level of care to people who come to us for care, and we must do our part to support public health, which has been greatly enhanced in this state because of the utilization and uptake of the vaccine,” said Rahul Mediwala, MD, CPE, Chief Medical Officer, Health Services. El Dr. Mediwala fue clave en la iniciativa de voluntariado de Renown para la administración de 80,000 vacunas a empleados y miembros de la comunidad, y ahora a niños de entre 5 y 11 años en su ubicación de Hometown Health a principios de este año. We know that there’s some hesitancy that exists, but the data are clear that these vaccinations have been very effective in preventing hospitalizations, severe complications and deaths from COVID-19,” says Susan Lee, DO, MBA, Chief Medical Officer, Acute Services. “Alentamos a todos los colegas, pacientes y miembros de la comunidad a recibir la vacuna contra la COVID-19 lo antes posible”. Los requisitos de la administración de Biden-Harris se aplicarán aproximadamente a 76,000 proveedores y cubrirán a más de 17 millones de trabajadores de atención médica en todo el país. The regulation will create a consistent standard within Medicare and Medicaid while giving patients assurance of the vaccination status of those delivering care. Las instalaciones cubiertas por esta regulación deben establecer una política que garantice que todo el personal elegible haya recibido la primera dosis de una vacuna de dos dosis contra la COVID-19 o una vacuna de una monodosis contra la COVID-19 antes de prestar cualquier tipo de atención, tratamiento u otros servicios a más tardar el 6 de diciembre de 2021. Todo el personal elegible debe haber recibido las dosis necesarias para que se le considere completamente vacunado, ya sean dos dosis de Pfizer o Moderna o una dosis de Johnson & Johnson, para el 4 de enero de 2022. The regulation also provides for exemptions based on recognized medical conditions or religious beliefs, observances, or practices. Facilities must develop a similar process or plan for permitting exemptions in alignment with federal law. Renown will do direct outreach to those employees who have not yet been vaccinated, to be sure they understand the regulations, implications, and options available to them. Dr. Slonim closed his announcement to employees today by saying, “While we understand this is a heavy issue for many, the mandate is clear and is one we will abide by. It is the right thing to do for our patients and each other.”   Acerca de Renown Health Renown Health es una red de atención médica integrada de administración local y sin fines de lucro que brinda servicios al norte de Nevada, Lake Tahoe y el noreste de California.

    ¿El mejor regalo? ¡Una familia totalmente vacunada!

    Renown se une al Distrito de Salud del Condado de Washoe para ofrecer vacunas contra la COVID-19 a niños de entre 5 y 11 años en clínicas de vacunación. Renown Health se asocia con el Distrito de Salud del Condado de Washoe para ayudar a distribuir los suministros inicialmente disponibles y limitados de una dosis apropiada según la edad de las vacunas de Pfizer-BioNTech contra la COVID-19 a niños de entre 5 y 11 años. En este momento, todos los residentes mayores de 5 años son elegibles para recibir una vacuna. Renown anunció hoy que para los padres o tutores que tienen acceso a la aplicación MyChart de Renown como representantes de sus hijos, ahora hay disponibles citas de vacunación para niños de entre 5 y 11 años. Cuando se reciban los suministros, Renown espera poder vacunar a 1,600 niños con la serie de dos dosis en una cantidad limitada de centros de fin de semana. At this time, due to limited supplies, no vaccines for children are available through Renown Medical Group pediatric offices. Vaccine appointments may only be scheduled through the Renown MyChart app; please do not contact a Renown doctor/health care provider or the Engagement Center at this time. There is no cost to establish a Renown MyChart account, and you do not need to have a Renown provider to enroll. Para obtener asistencia técnica para MyChart, llame al 775-982-2781. Renown is covering all costs of the vaccine, and it is offered free of charge. “As a pediatrician, an intensive care physician, a public health practitioner and a grandparent, I encourage parents to vaccinate their children against COVID-19 now. No child should suffer, be hospitalized or die from a disease that can prevented by simply getting a shot,” says Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, President & CEO of Renown Health. “We remain steadfast in fighting the good fight for our community, and that includes protecting kids. Being able to serve kids and their parents, with the only Children’s Hospital in northern Nevada, and being able to administer COVID-19 vaccines to children is incredibly gratifying for our team. This vaccine will prevent deaths, ICU admissions and will prevent significant long-term adverse outcomes in children." “I tell parents, get your kids vaccinated now- because every kid is at risk,” says Kristina Deeter, M.D., MBA, Pediatric Intensivist, and Vice Chair of Pediatrics at Renown Children’s Hospital. “Please get your family- including your kids, vaccinated now to keep your family safe. Being fully vaccinated and being able to hug Grandma and Grandpa at the holidays may be the greatest gift of all this holiday season.” “Los CDC recomiendan que todas las personas mayores de 5 años reciban una vacuna contra la COVID-19 para ayudar a protegerse de la COVID-19. Widespread vaccination for COVID-19 is a critical tool to protect everyone, especially those at highest risk, from severe illness and death. Currently, the Pfizer vaccine is the only option currently authorized for children,” says Vanessa Slots, MD, a pediatrician with Renown Children’s. “It was found to give kids strong protection against COVID-19, including against the Delta variant. Children who are vaccinated may have some side effects (chills, redness and swelling at site injection), which are normal signs that their body is building protection.” Children are advised not to receive the vaccine if: • They are ill at the time of vaccination (fever, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea or acute illness). • se les ha diagnosticado COVID-19 en los 14 días anteriores; • They have a history of significant allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in the vaccine.   About Renown Health Renown Health is the region’s largest not-for-profit integrated healthcare network serving Nevada, Lake Tahoe and northeast California.

    Renown Now Offering rTMS Treatment for Major Depression

    Treatment offers patients safe, non-drug and non-invasive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) therapy to treat symptoms of major depression. Renown Health is committed to improving access to vital mental health services in northern Nevada. Today, clinical leaders at the Stacie Mathewson Behavioral Health & Addiction Institute at Renown announced they will offer repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) therapy for people experiencing Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) under the guidance of a Renown psychiatrist.  According to the National Institute of Mental Health, major depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the U.S. The disease causes people to experience sadness and helplessness, and in some cases, may prevent people from carrying out their daily routines.  “We at Renown are proud of our national reputation as an innovator in implementing new models, technology and systems of care for our community,” said Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, President and CEO. “We are working to transform care and demonstrate value in a way that appeals to patients and helps clinicians improve outcomes and reduce costs. There is now a sufficient body of evidence to accept the analgesic and antidepressant effect of high-frequency rTMS, and we are pleased to offer this promising therapy.” rTMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. It is typically used when other depression treatments haven't been effective. This treatment for depression involves delivering repetitive magnetic pulses, so it's called repetitive TMS or rTMS. “Depression can be treated; however, for some people, medications and talking with a behavioral health expert may not be enough,” said Renown’s Division Chief of Behavioral Health, Richard A. Charlat, M.D., M.P.H. “We are pleased to offer rTMS therapy for people looking for a new way to fight depression and for whom other treatments may not have given them relief. We are committed to working closely with our patients to find the treatment that works best for them, so they can live their best lives.” “Nevada has the highest prevalence of mental illness and substance use in the nation,” said Steve Shell, vice president of the Stacie Mathewson Behavioral Health & Addiction Institute. “Combine that with the added stress and isolation many are feeling with the COVID-19 pandemic, and we know that offering patients safe, non-drug and non-invasive treatments- as well as essential mental health and addiction services are more important than ever.”   How rTMS Works During an rTMS session, an electromagnetic coil is placed against the person’s scalp near their forehead. The electromagnet painlessly delivers a magnetic pulse that stimulates nerve cells in the region of the person’s brain involved in mood control and depression. It's thought to activate regions of the brain that have decreased activity in depression. Though the biology of why rTMS works isn't completely understood, the stimulation appears to impact how the brain is working, which in turn seems to ease depression symptoms and improve mood. There are different ways to perform the procedure, and techniques may change as experts learn more about the most effective ways to perform treatments. En promedio, los pacientes se someten a tratamientos de EMTr durante cuatro a seis semanas, cinco días a la semana, durante unos 40 minutos al día. In all cases, a patient’s doctor will determine a treatment plan that’s best for the patient. This video shows what patients can expect during rTMS therapy.    What Does rTMS Feel Like? rTMS therapy is an easy, in-office experience designed to be positive for patients. During treatment, people are awake, alert, and comfortably reclined in a spa-like chair. Los primeros tratamientos pueden causar molestias en la zona de tratamiento o cerca de ella; sin embargo, es poco probable que esto dure más allá de la primera semana de tratamiento.1, 2 “Los efectos de la depresión pueden ser devastadores para las personas que luchan contra ella, así como para sus seres queridos”, afirmó Stacie Mathewson. “No importa cuán oscura pueda parecer la vida, siempre tenga en cuenta que hay increíbles expertos en salud conductual en Renown dispuestos a apoyarlo y empoderarlo mientras busca la ayuda que se merece”. Charles N. y Stacie L. Mathewson crearon el Stacie Mathewson Behavioral Health & Addiction Institute en Renown en 2018 para ampliar el acceso de la comunidad a los servicios de prevención e intervención de los trastornos de la salud mental y la adicción al alcohol y las drogas. Renown is working to expand intensive outpatient treatment, partial hospitalization and medication-assisted treatment programs to better serve those struggling with mental illness and addiction. The Renown team is also passionate about prevention, mental wellness and is actively working to decrease stigma and encourage more people to seek the help they need. TMS therapy is cleared by the FDA and available by prescription only. It is commonly covered by most insurance plans. Patients must be referred by a behavioral expert to seek rTMS treatment.

    El Programa de rehabilitación pulmonar Thomas S. Dolan recibe una certificación respetada del líder de la industria

    The program becomes first of its kind to be accredited in Nevada. Renown Health is pleased to announce the certification of the Thomas S. Dolan Pulmonary Rehabilitation program at Renown South Meadows Medical Center by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). AACVPR certification demonstrates that an organization's Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program is aligned with current guidelines set by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation for appropriate and effective early outpatient care of patients with cardiac or pulmonary issues. Certification offers peace of mind, so that patients can feel confident in knowing that staff has the experience and skills necessary to coordinate the many issues faced by people receiving a life-changing cardiac or pulmonary diagnosis. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs help people with health issues such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary fibrosis, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) recover faster and live healthier.  “Having access to quality pulmonary rehabilitation services so close to home, staffed by a highly-skilled group of compassionate care providers, truly is a gift to our community,” said Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, president and CEO of Renown. “Estamos muy orgullosos del trabajo que se realiza en nuestro programa de rehabilitación pulmonar, y también estamos eternamente agradecidos por la donación de Tom Dolan al programa en 2019, que permite a los residentes de Nevada mejorar su salud y su calidad de vida”. “El Programa de rehabilitación pulmonar Thomas S. Dolan es el único programa de rehabilitación pulmonar acreditado en el estado de Nevada”, señaló Chris Nicholas, vicepresidente de Renown South Meadows Medical Center and Rehabilitation Hospital. “We take pride in this distinguished honor from the AACVPR as it acknowledges and amplifies the life-changing work happening here. Our dedicated caregivers provide support to our patients every step of the way, helping them lead vibrant and fulfilling lives despite their health conditions.”  The comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program at Renown South Meadows Medical Center offers treadmills, stationary bicycles, strength training and an education classroom to help patients achieve health goals. To earn accreditation, Renown’s pulmonary rehabilitation program participated in an application process requiring extensive documentation of the program’s practices. La certificación de programas de la AACVPR es el único proceso de acreditación de revisión por pares diseñado para revisar los programas individuales conforme al cumplimiento de las normas y las pautas desarrolladas y publicadas por la AACVPR y otras asociaciones profesionales relacionadas. En noviembre de 2019, Tom Dolan propietario y fundador de Dolan Auto Group, realizó una donación al Programa de rehabilitación pulmonar de Renown South Meadows Medical Center después de que su experiencia personal en la rehabilitación pulmonar le hiciera percatarse sobre las capacidades y necesidades que había en el norte de Nevada. His generous donation has allowed Renown to double the number of patients who receive treatment and increase the access to pulmonary rehab in our community. “As a former patient myself, I found so much benefit in my pulmonary rehab,” said Dolan. “I have always wanted to support this program and increase the number of people it serves. It’s great to see that we now have the only certified pulmonary rehab in Nevada.” “The most essential component of lung health is breaking the cycle of inactivity associated with lung disease,” said Lung Critical Care Physician Dr. Farah Madhani-Lovely. “Our community is fortunate to have an accredited program like this to empower our patients.”      About Renown Health Renown Health is the region’s largest, locally owned and governed, not-for-profit integrated healthcare network serving Nevada, Lake Tahoe and northeast California.

    Reno Orthopedic Clinic y Renown se asocian para mejorar la atención ortopédica en el norte de Nevada

    Both organizations have a long history of community support, a reputation for exceptionally-trained physician and provider teams, innovative approaches that have improved access and convenience, superior levels of clinical quality and service, and a commitment to making health care more affordable.    “What an important day for orthopedic care in our community! This partnership brings together two organizations that have the vision to elevate care, expertise and innovation in orthopedics and sports medicine,” said Renny Uppal, MD, ROC President and Chairman. ”We are excited to help usher in the next generation of orthopedic care for our community.”    “We have worked closely with the Reno Orthopedic Clinic and its team of caregivers for a long time, and we recognize the excellent quality of care and compassion they provide to their patients,” said Tony Slonim, MD, D.Ph., Renown’s President & CEO. “Given our mutual interests in advancing high-quality and high-value care, this partnership expands capabilities, enhances access and affordability, improves the health of our community and establishes a new premier destination for orthopedics and sports medicine, right here in northern Nevada.”   This partnership for orthopedic health care is the result of the unique collaborative relationship between Renown Health, Reno’s only not-for-profit health care system; and Reno Orthopedic Clinic, an independently-owned and operated, private multi-specialty orthopedic practice. This partnership brings together three key elements to serve the community with enhanced orthopedic care that includes:   A seamless patient journey. With the patient at the center, ROC and Renown will co-design the ideal orthopedic patient care experience, provide consistent clinical care pathways and a seamless experience.   Increased value for the patient. Working collaboratively, ROC and Renown healthcare providers will work on behalf of the patient to deliver orthopedic care. Both organizations are leading the way in providing exceptional care teams to increase value, efficiency, improve outcomes and better manage the total cost of care for patients.  A new level of convenience. Over the next year, ROC or Renown patients will be able to schedule appointments online, view radiology and lab results online, send a message to their provider or view documentation of procedures, surgeries and medications, 24 hours a day on Renown’s Epic MyChart electronic medical record, which is available via smart phone app or computer. This new technology will enhance communication between patients and their medical teams, reduce delays and increase efficiency.  “Both ROC and Renown have a focus on offering well-coordinated, innovative and efficient care, and an improved patient experience. There is great potential to improve quality, accessibility and affordability of orthopedic care for our community. We look forward to improving care together,” said Eric Boyden, MD, a physician with the ROC Center for Joint Replacement.   “Delivering high-quality, cost-effective services in the communities where our patients live is a fundamental part of Renown Health’s strategy. Traditionally, orthopedic surgeries were performed in hospitals, but advancements in technology, anesthesia and pain control now allow physicians to perform certain procedures in an outpatient site, or an ambulatory surgical center which can be a more convenient and cost-effective option, said Erik Olson, CEO of Renown Regional Medical Center. “Our community is growing and we are seeing more complex care needs. Renown is excited to invest and expand the range of outpatient surgical services we have available.”  "Through this partnership, patients from throughout the region will visit us for the most advanced technologies in orthopedic care, and experience the remarkable customer service we provide,” says Lisa Mead, ROC CEO. “Estamos encantados de que esta asociación permita a nuestros cirujanos ortopédicos realizar cirugías en diversos entornos y hacer lo que es mejor para el paciente, ya sea en un hospital o en un centro para pacientes ambulatorios”. Reno Orthopedic Clinic, en respuesta al tremendo crecimiento de la región, ha estado trabajando durante los últimos cinco años para crear el ROC Institute for Musculoskeletal Health, una nueva instalación valuada en $54 millones de dólares que se está construyendo en el centro de Reno. The combined strength of the new partnership will further develop the capabilities for this Institute which features a surgery center, advanced imaging center, clinical offices, physical therapy, a post-operative recovery center and the Chiron Center – a bio skills lab and education center, offering specialized training for future healthcare providers. Se prevé que el centro abra en 555 North Arlington Avenue en invierno de 2020. Reno Orthopedic Clinic, un miembro de la comunidad del norte de Nevada durante más de 60 años que proporciona atención ortopédica de alta calidad en ocho consultorios, incorpora a la asociación 31 médicos, 20 médicos especialistas acreditados, y 15 fisioterapeutas y terapeutas ocupacionales especializados en cirugía ortopédica, medicina física y rehabilitación, medicina del deporte y cobertura en casi todas las subespecialidades ortopédicas. Renown Regional Medical Center alberga uno de los centros de urgencias más activos del país, acreditado por el American College of Surgeons, que atiende a miles de personas, la gran mayoría de las cuales requieren algún nivel de atención ortopédica. Con más de 150 años de excelencia en ortopedia, la Joint Commission ha otorgado su acreditación Gold Seal of Approval® a Renown por el reemplazo total de rodilla, el reemplazo total de cadera y el reemplazo total de hombro. US News & World Report ranks Renown South Meadows Medical Center as “High Performing” for Knee Replacement and Hip Replacement.  "With all of the pieces in place – top quality orthopedic specialty providers and one of the busiest trauma programs in the nation – we expect the ROC Institute for Musculoskeletal Health Center for Orthopedic Medicine will be a gift to those who live, work and play here in Nevada," said Ms. Mead.       www.renoortho.com/ www.renown.org

    Renown reanuda las cirugías médicamente necesarias en un enfoque por fases

    El sistema de salud sigue el anuncio del gobernador de reanudar las cirugías necesarias el 11 de mayo, pero permanece listo para un posible aumento de casos de COVID-19. Renown Health announced today that they will align with the Governor’s Office and the state Medical Advisory Team in adopting a phased-in approach to resume limited medical and surgical procedures under strict guidelines and lift temporary restrictions due to the COVID-19 virus. The decision follows yesterday’s release of Governor Sisolak’s “Nevada United: A Roadmap to Recovery,” a plan designed to move forward to safely restart Nevada under a “new normal.” Desde el lunes 4 de mayo, el sistema de salud implementará un enfoque por fases para realizar cirugías necesarias para pacientes que no estén en riesgo, las cuales comenzarán a realizarse el lunes, 11 de mayo de 2020. “We’re able to resume some surgical services due to the flattening of the COVID-19 surge curve and the low COVID-19 transmission rate within our community due to the implementation of strong social distancing practices,” said Tony Slonim, MD, D.Ph., President and CEO, Renown Health. He added, “Our primary concern will always be the health and safety of our patients, physicians, healthcare employees and community members. We continue to monitor the surge curve and our current situation. Until a vaccine or cure is found, Renown Health remains prepared at all times to handle a surge and continues to care for those across northern Nevada.” Los casos de procedimientos “electivos opcionales” se pospusieron temporalmente en los hospitales de Renown el 17 de marzo, con el fin de detener la propagación de la COVID-19 y preservar los recursos críticos. Christopher P. Demers, MD, FAANS, socio gerente en Sierra Neurosurgery Group y director médico de Neurocirugía en Renown, dijo: “Sé lo importante que son las cirugías para mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes. I am privileged to have the opportunity to perform surgeries that help people get back to doing the activities they love. We are guided by a simple and important principle: the patient always comes first.” “This is excellent news for so many patients who may have placed their surgeries and care plans on hold due to COVID-19,” said Christos Galanopoulos, MD, chair, department of surgery for Renown Medical Group, and a specialist in oncologic surgery. “Renown’s expert team is ready to deliver safe and effective care to all patients and has earned recognition as the region’s leader in patient safety, technology and specialized care,” said Galanopoulos. “We are proud of the incredibly detailed health and safety measures in place at Renown.” Health and safety protocols in place at Renown facilities include: Todas las personas que ingresan a centros de Renown, incluidos los miembros del equipo, deben someterse a un examen de detección de síntomas de COVID-19; los pacientes que tienen programados procedimientos electivos se realizarán una prueba de COVID-19 hasta 5 días antes de la fecha programada para el procedimiento. Patients will remain in isolation following the test, up to the time of surgery. Positive COVID-19 patients and symptomatic patients will not be scheduled for elective surgery. All individuals entering Renown sites are asked to don a cloth mask. Patients may bring their own mask or may opt to wear one supplied by Renown. All care team members wear surgical masks and protective eye wear, as well as other necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), at all times when caring for patients. Visitor restrictions are still in place. Se alienta que haya una persona de apoyo para pacientes quirúrgicos, madres que van a dar a luz; niños menores de 18 años; pacientes con confusión, estado mental alterado o retrasos en el desarrollo y pacientes que se encuentran en el final de su vida. Six-foot social distances have been established in public areas such as waiting rooms, elevators, cafeterias. Extra cleaning and disinfection is in place for all high-touch, public surface areas. Erik Olson, MHA, Chief Executive Officer of Renown Regional Medical Center adds, “Renown’s mission is to make a genuine difference in the health and well-being of the people and communities we serve. We deliver on this promise by collaborating with expert surgeons to offer general and specialized surgical interventions to alleviate disabilities and reduce the risk of death from traumatic injuries, cancers, cardiovascular disease and other conditions. Together we are dedicated to delivering safe, high-quality, compassionate, personalized health care.” Los pacientes que deseen programar una cirugía electiva o procedimiento ambulatorio primero deben comunicarse con el proveedor que solicita el procedimiento. -FINAL- Se invita a aquellos interesados en apoyar a los héroes de la atención médica de Renown a visitar www.renown.org/give para conocer más formas de ayudar.
