Easy Does It Mammograms and Bone Density Testing

Same-day mammography appointments, with a doctor’s order, are available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at the Breast Health and Research Center at the Sonoran Health and Emergency Center. The new facility is off Interstate 17 between Dove Valley Boulevard and Carefree Highway.

“We offer low-dose 3D mammography that can detect breast cancers at earlier, more treatable stages, with reduced exposure and less compression time,” said Director Sherry Gage. Bone density screenings also are available. Please call 623-780-HOPE (4673).

Medical Imaging

Walk-in appointments are available for advanced diagnostic imaging services at the Sonoran Center, including a state-of-the-art MRI with an open design. “It reduces claustrophobic sensations,” said Steve Hardin, Medical Imaging senior director.

“We also have the latest low-dose CT scanner, ultrasounds and digital X-rays at the Sonoran location.

Please note that mammograms, bone density and medical imaging tests require a doctor’s order. For more information, please visit jcl.com/sonoran.

A friend drove him to the nearby Sonoran Health and Emergency Center off Interstate 17 near Carefree Highway.

If he had to drive down to Deer Valley or North Mountain Hospital, that would have taken another 40 million to 90 million neurons, and the deficits would not be gone today.”

Although he doesn’t feel 100 percent normal yet, Frank said a couple friends who have had strokes, “are not in very good shape because it was too long before they got the tPA.” He’s also glad he was in Phoenix. “It would have taken longer to get the clotbuster at home because of time/distance to the hospital.”

Check out Your Enhanced Online Personal Health Record MyChart is now available to John C. Lincoln hospital patients

“With MyChart, I have enjoyed being able to check my lab results and see the notes from my doctor,” said Salina Llamas, who uses MyChart to access her online personal health record. She is a patient at North Phoenix Medical Clinic, part of the John C. Lincoln Physician Network.

A free service, MyChart lets patients review their personal health information from a computer, tablet or smart phone.

“When patients are part of the recordkeeping process, it can increase their understanding of conditions, improve motivation and serve as a clear differentiator for clinical care,” said Alfredo Lim, MD, of John C. Lincoln North Phoenix Medical Clinic.

Physician Network patients can: > Schedule/confirm/cancel appointments online. > Review test and lab results online. > Request prescription refills.

> Email their physicians with non-urgent medical questions, getting a response in 48 hours or less. > Review post-visit instructions. > Review their medications, allergies, immunizations and health history. > Have access to patient education resources through a link to the National Institutes of Health.

In April, patients at John C. Lincoln North Mountain and Deer Valley Hospitals, and at Sonoran Health and Emergency Center, began receiving access to MyChart.

Patients receive an activation code at discharge, and within 36 hours: > Can review instructions about their care needs after discharge. > Receive many test and lab results. > Have access to patient education resources through a link to the National Institutes of Health.

“This is a crucial step for the Health Network,” said Nathan Anspach, senior vice president and CEO of the John C. Lincoln Physician Network and Accountable Care Organization. “Our goal is to integrate a system of care and manage all levels of health through ‘one patient, one record.’ Caregivers throughout the Health Network have the information they need, at their fingertips, to provide the best care.”

Llamas sees MyChart as “an empowering tool. I look forward to being able to engage with my physician via email to answer less urgent medical questions. Sometimes while visiting the doctor’s office I forget that one question that has been bugging me. Now I can email my doctor and get a response in a timely fashion.”

Medical Technology

Groundbreaking Surgery Helps Women Get Back on Their Feet “I was up walking the first day,” Vanessa said. “My stay at North Mountain was a dream; everybody was wonderful, and my room on the third floor was beautiful. Dr. Rappoport is an amazing doctor. He helped me all the way through, including getting me off pain medication quickly. I was happy to have that surgery.”

Perri’s Challenges

Vanessa Delgado, with surgeon Louis Rappoport, MD (left), and Perri Henderson, with surgeon Jonathan Landsman, MD, are resuming their lives thanks to advancements in spine surgery techniques and state-of-the-art technology.

A

remarkable new surgical technique aided by sophisticated technology is helping Vanessa Delgado, 60, do the simple things again.

She’s thrilled that she can sit through an entire movie in a theater.

Another Surprise resident, Perri Henderson, 49, looks forward to being pain free and going to the park with her 10-year-old son.

The two women are among the first in Arizona to benefit from a new minimally invasive spine surgery at John C. Lincoln hospitals. Called oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF), “it allows us to use a one-inch incision and go in obliquely, in front of the hip bone. OLIF helps us avoid key blood vessels, muscles and nerves on the way to the spine,” said Perri’s surgeon, Jonathan Landsman, MD. The distance is only about six inches, but navigating it requires precision.

A machine that looks like a huge doughnut, the Medtronic O-arm, helps. It gives the surgeon real-time CT imaging of the patient’s anatomy with low radiation

exposure for the surgical team, said Vanessa’s surgeon, Louis Rappoport, MD. He and Dr. Landsman also use Medtronic’s StealthStation navigation system to accurately track their surgical instruments in relation to patient anatomy — even as that anatomy is shifting in real time! “We’re able to get a safer and better view of where we’re going,” Dr. Rappoport said.

Vanessa’s Journey A series of injuries led to Vanessa’s severe back pain. A 2010 spine fusion surgery helped, but two screws implanted then had begun to loosen. “It can happen if the bone graft doesn’t fuse,” Dr. Rappoport said.

During Vanessa’s Sept. 28 surgery at John C. Lincoln North Mountain Hospital, he used OLIF and the Medtronic technology to reach her spine. He then fused two vertebrae, using a cage filled with a substance called bone morphogenetic protein to promote bone growth. “She did fabulous,” he said.

May/June 2014

Since 2000, Perri has undergone five back surgeries. “I moved to the Valley from Alaska more than two years ago because of my back. I had to get away from snow and ice to avoid falling and damaging it further,” she said. The warm climate worked for a while, but the pain returned.

A 2010 fusion of two vertebrae had weakened the two above it.

On Jan. 29, Dr. Landsman operated on her back at John C. Lincoln Deer Valley Hospital. Using OLIF and the Medtronic technology, Dr. Landsman navigated to Perri’s spine, placing a cadaver bone graft to fuse the weakened vertebrae. Then he made an incision on Perri’s back to insert two titanium rods and screws. Surgeons stabilized her spine and restored it to a normal alignment, with the O-arm confirming it. “Her prognosis is good,” he said. “She’s healing.”

“The nurses at Deer Valley had a lot of patience with me,” Perri said. “They worked with me to get the right pain medication. By the third day, I was up walking. Now I’m healing.”

Desert Mission Food Bank Manager Jaynette Espinola shows volunteer Wayne Kaplan what’s on the shelves for distribution to clients.

Wanted: Food Bank Volunteers

H

ungry individuals and families continue to show up at the doors of the Desert Mission Food Bank, part of John C. Lincoln’s community service endeavors.

Even the summer’s scorching heat won’t dampen the numbers, predicted Jaynette Espinola, Food Bank manager. “Congress recently reduced SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, and we’re seeing the results. It used to be that 179 individuals at our doors was our high mark; now it’s 250 on average. More people need to supplement their SNAP benefits.”

Serving all those individuals is challenging for staff and volunteers. As some volunteers travel to other areas of the country for the summer, “we’re going to need to replace them,” Jaynette said. Volunteers like Wayne Kaplan, who has donated time and effort at the Food Bank for three years, “doing a little of everything,” he said.

“I stock shelves, do customer service and carry food out to clients’ cars. Now I’m ordering meat and baby products for the Food Bank. It feels good to be able to help people and give back to the community,” he said.

Semi-retired from broadcast and public relations careers, he works part-time at the Phoenix Art Museum. He also volunteers as a delivery person for John C. Lincoln Health Network.

“I wanted to make better use of my free time,” Wayne said. “This helps me fill that void. The staff here makes it a fun, inviting environment. The volunteers come from all walks of life, and we enjoy each other’s company. The vast majority of the clients are nice people; they’re grateful for the food.”

If you’d like to be a Food Bank volunteer, please email Jaynette.espinola@jcl.com or call 602-870-6060, ext. 1235.
