Health Leader Surgery story #3
Bariatric Medicine: Part 1 At 535 pounds, Rex Adams felt like a prisoner, not just because of his weight, but because he was taking as many as a dozen pills a day to help manage complications of obesity. “When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and had to go on oral medication, that’s when it really hit me,” Adams says. “I had done this to myself. I knew I had to do something to lose the weight and free myself from all the pills I was taking.” Adams sought a surgical solution – a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass – to control the weight and his blood sugar. He took one last pill the day before the surgery. Since then, he hasn’t required any medication to manage type 2 diabetes. He is no longer considered diabetic. “It was like a complete release,” Adams says. “I had the surgery, and I never looked back.” Weight-loss surgery, including gastric bypass and the lap band, can have a dramatic impact on morbidly obese patients with type 2 diabetes, a condition characterized by high levels of blood sugar as a result of defects in insulin production and resistance to insulin’s actions. Some are able to go off diabetes medications entirely. Others may be able to significantly reduce the amount of insulin or other medication they require to keep their blood sugar in check. Patients who are classified as “pre-diabetic” may be able to avoid the disease all together. Comment?

Memorial Hermann Southeast Expands Heart Services
It is estimated that Heart Disease kills one person every 34 seconds. To better educate the public about our country’s number one killer, prevent the disease in those who don’t have it and better treat those who do, Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital has renewed its commitment to make Heart Disease education, prevention and treatment a top priority by taking a leadership role in heart-related community education events and expanding the heart services available at the hospital. The hospital’s renewed Heart Health campaign commenced with the 2009 Bay Area Start! Heart Walk on October 17, where Memorial Hermann Southeast donated $25,000 and raised an additional $17,000 in donations from physicians, employees and their friends and families. According to the American Heart Association, the proceeds from the walk, totaling approximately $170,000 and counting, will fund lifesaving research, as well as public and professional education programs in the community and across America. Memorial Hermann Southeast not only utilized its presence at the Bay Area Start! Heart Walk to educate participants and their families about heart disease from A to Z, but Memorial Hermann Southeast volunteers also shared the exciting news about the hospital’s expanded heart program and new treatments available for patients. This fall, the cardiac catheterization lab at Memorial Hermann Southeast is expanding and will offer additional services to meet heart patients’ needs, whether it is treatment for a blocked artery, an irregular heartbeat or heart attack. For more information about Memorial Hermann Southeast’s heart program, as well as upcoming heart-related events, visit www.memorialhermann.org or call 281.929.6100. Comment?

Memorial Hermann’s Family Medicine Residency and Physicians Awarded Medical Home Designation
– The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has designated Memorial Hermann’s Memorial Family Medicine Residency and its medical office, the Physicians at Sugar Creek, as a Recognized Medical Home.

The NCQA’s Medical Home Recognition Program identifies medical facilities that deliver superior care using measurable standards. The official designation is given to those facilities that provide the elements of a “medical home.” “The award is given to those practices that can show that they provide the elements of a medical home that result in outstanding care,” said Dr. David Bauer, Memorial Family Medicine Residency Program Director. “Our utilization of electronic health records, implementation of secure messaging, and chronic disease management were just some of the components that captured the attention of the judges and influenced our overall score.” Comment?
