The Mediterranean diet is not a specific diet plan. Instead, it is a style of eating that features foods traditionally eaten in countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. Overall, the Mediterranean style of eating is characterized by a high intake of fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, fish, nuts, and olive oil. Intake of meats, dairy, and sweets is limited. The combination of these foods is responsible for numerous health benefits, including weight loss and reduced risk of cancer, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Here are some tips for eating the Mediterranean way: • Eat more vegetables. Fill half your plate with vegetables at lunch and dinner. Try experimenting with different ways of preparing your vegetables, such as grilling or roasting. • Choose fruit for dessert. The natural sugar in fruit can satisfy your sweet tooth while also providing fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. • Eat seafood twice a week. Oily fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel, lake trout, and albacore tuna are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which fight inflammation and improve brain and heart health. • Go vegetarian one day per week. Some of your favorite meals like soups, pasta, and tacos, can easily be made vegetarian by swapping the meat for beans and extra vegetables. • Switch to whole grains. Whole grains offer more fiber, which promotes fullness, stabilizes blood sugar, and helps lower cholesterol. Barley, brown rice, couscous, and farro are some traditional Mediterranean options. • Use good fats liberally. The Mediterranean diet is 30-40% fat with olive oil as the primary source of dietary fat. Other heart-healthy fat sources include nuts, sunflower seeds, avocados, and olives. • Flavor your foods with herbs and spices. Set the salt shaker aside and instead try basil, oregano, thyme, or mint to season your meals. The Mediterranean diet is not only what you eat, but also how you eat. Remember to slow down and enjoy mealtime as a family. If you are looking to lose weight or improve your health, the Mediterranean diet is a lifestyle that offers many benefits. Get started by incorporating the ideas above, and consider meeting with a registered dietitian for more personalized guidance.

Thanks to the Generosity of Our Donors— Kennedy Dialysis Patients are Staying Warm! The Kennedy Health Care Foundation creates a critical link between Kennedy Health and the people in our community who rely on Kennedy for their health and wellness. When Phyllis White saw first hand how the cold impacted her late sister Priscilla McClure – a Kennedy Dialysis patient–during her treatments, she came up with a solution. She designed a sweatshirt that allows access via zippers for treatment, keeping the patients warm. White and her family and friends began donating these specially-made “Pris-Zippity” sweatshirts (so named in Priscilla’s memory), to Kennedy’s Dialysis Centers. Pris-Zippity’s donations are currently helping more than 200 patients at Kennedy’s Dialysis Centers. With your support, Pris-Zippity can continue to provide hundreds of patients receiving dialysis treatments this gift of warmth. If you are able and willing to sew, donate materials or provide financial support, please contact the Kennedy Health Care Foundation at 856-566-5309 or email Joanne Sabatini at j.sabatini@kennedyhealth.org. Patient Spotlight Hernia patient credits robotic surgery with quicker, less painful recovery expect, with carry through on how the patient will recover – he will spend a shorter amount of time in the hospital and experience less blood loss.” While most inguinal hernia repairs are still done as open surgeries, using robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery for hernias offers several key advantages, according to Dr. Sandau. Nick Demayo (above), 76, had a simple goal from his hernia surgery: He wanted to make sure the procedure didn’t disrupt his life too much – including his weekly golf game. The retired aircraft mechanic and high school aviation instructor had bad memories from a prior hernia surgery in the 1980s. After that procedure, he suffered extreme pain, and had to miss a few months of work to recuperate. This time around, Demayo got a recommendation for a surgeon from his son, Nick Jr., who works in medical device sales. The elder Demayo opted to travel from his home in Jackson, N.J., to consult with Roy L. Sandau, DO, FACOS (right), a surgeon at Kennedy University Hospital in Washington Township. Dr. Sandau pioneered the use of EndoWrist Stapler technology on the da Vinci® Si™ System, making Kennedy the first hospital in New Jersey (and one of the first in the nation) to deploy this advanced robotic technology. The technology enhances surgical capabilities and provides an alternative to many traditional, open surgeries, as well as conventional laparoscopic procedures. “Robotics makes more delicate surgeries easier for the patient and the surgeon,” Dr. Sandau says. “It makes the surgery more fluid and easier than you would The robotics system provides 3-D visualization to the surgeon, compared to 2-D for a traditional laparoscopic procedure; mimics the surgeon’s hand-motions, allowing for faster suturing; and ultimately provides more control to the surgeon. “The camera is controlled by the robot, which is controlled by me,” Dr. Sandau explains. “It only moves when I tell it to move.” “It really is a surgical tool – it’s not something that teaches me how to operate. I know how to operate, it’s making my surgeries easier to do.” For Demayo, who has four children and nine grandchildren with his wife, Florence, the same-day hernia procedure went so smoothly that he only had to take one dose of pain medication, post-operation. “Dr. Sandau was terrific and very personable,” Demayo says. “He explained everything he was going to do.” On the day of his procedure, Demayo was back home, almost before he knew it. “They prepped me, I went in for surgery, and when I came out, I didn’t even realize they had operated on me,” Demayo says. “I had no pain whatsoever.” Free Workshops: Learn About Alzheimer’s disease In this three-part educational course offering, caretakers and family members will learn about some of the risk factors for Alzheimer’s and dementia, as well as stages of the disease and treatment options for their loved ones.

Sponsored by: Two weeks later, after getting the okay from Dr. Sandau, Demayo returned to the links for his regularly weekly golf outing – a complete contrast to his prior surgical experience. – Robert DiGiacomo 3 New, Cutting-Edge Technology Helps Spot Lung Cancer Earlier By Dr. Peter Saccone, Kennedy Health Pulmonologist Over the past 50 years, we have seen little advancement in the survival of patients with lung cancer. Most cite a five-year survival rate of around 20 percent, and, like all cancers, early detection is vital. Kennedy Health now offers Electromagnetic Navigational Bronchoscopy (ENB), a procedure using a combination of conventional and CT-virtual bronchoscopy. This new, innovative process – which only a few area physicians are proficient at – allows doctors to look at airways through a thin viewing instrument called a bronchoscope. Because of this, physicians can safely navigate a catheter into the outermost areas of lungs to safely perform biopsies. Completed as an outpatient procedure, patients are able to go home afterward. There is no cutting, and most patients return to their normal level of activity by the next day. Biopsies are immediately reviewed, and most patients have answers and a plan of action before they go home. ENB safely reaches any area of the lung with minimal risks, and can be further combined with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), which lets doctors sample lymph nodes and other areas of the chest surrounding the lung. EBUS also allows for further diagnosis of lung cancer and correct cancer staging at the same time. Previously, additional testing, procedures and/or surgery was required. This immensely shortens the time between diagnosis and treatment, increasing survival rates. The greatest benefit of this procedure is the ability to routinely catch early stage lung cancer. When cancer is found in a low stage (I or II), the chance of CURING it, rather than just treating it, is now real. ENB and EBUS can also be used for diagnosing non-malignant conditions, such as sarcoidosis, vasculitis, and infectious etiologies, to name a few. Anyone with a nodule larger than 8mm can be considered for ENB. The procedure is ideal for high-risk patients with a nodule greater than 8mm, or low-risk patients with a suspicious-appearing nodule. However, any patient will gladly be evaluated for ENB. For more information about ENB at Kennedy, call Kennedy’s Oncology Nurse Navigator Susan Saporito at 856/218-5324.

Patient Spotlight GPS-style tools help surgeons remove brain tumors with greater precision When Madeline “Vicki” Romer, 65, arrived at the Emergency Department at Kennedy University Hospital in Washington Township in March 2016, she had no idea she would immediately require brain surgery. For several weeks, the Runnemede resident, had suffered from severe headaches and some memory loss. The Kennedy ED team jumped into action, ordering a CAT scan and MRI. Within an hour, their quick work revealed a tumor the size of a small egg. The tumor was putting pressure on the frontal lobe, the part of the brain that controls memory and personality, and had to be removed, according to Eddy Garrido, MD, FACS (right), an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at Thomas JeffersonUniversity whose medical practice is based in Sewell. Dr. Garrido performed the four-hour procedure at the Kennedy Neuroscience Center in Washington Township, using a neuro-navigation MRI system, which acts like a GPS to guide the surgeon to the tumor. “It shows you how much of the tumor you have removed and whether you have removed it completely,” Dr. Garrido says. “We used the tool to guide us, and were able to completely remove the tumor.” The technology, used in conjunction with an ultrasonic aspirator, allowed the tumor to be broken down gently during the course of the procedure. The additional use of magnification and a microscope “makes the surgery even safer,” Dr. Garrido explains. Romer proved a model patient – she was up on her feet the day of her surgery, got discharged two days later, resumed driving after recuperating at home for two weeks and returned to work less than six weeks later. She works as a claims processor for Kennedy in Cherry Hill. “I feel great – I’m doing everything right back to the same level,” Romer says. Having been previously treated for cancer at Kennedy, Romer came away impressed by the combination of state-of-the-art technology and hands-on care. The nursing staff in the Critical Care Unit seemed to anticipate her every need, and after surgery found time to help her back on her feet. “The care I received was excellent, and I don’t know if they were even aware I worked at Kennedy,” Romer says. “All the patients on the floor received treatment as excellent as my own.” For Dr. Garrido, who came to Jefferson and Kennedy in September 2015, after a 35-year career at Lancaster NeuroScience & Spine Associates in Lancaster, Pa., the “team approach” involving acute and critical care specialists is crucial to successful patient outcomes. “From the doctors to the nurses to the imaging people, it’s really state-ofthe-art care,” he says. Kennedy’s team gets back up from telemedicine robots that allow critical care doctors at Jefferson to evaluate patients with the help of on-site staff. “It’s like an extra layer of security,” Dr. Garrido says. For Romer and her family, little touches, such as the presence of a harpist, who volunteers her time to play for patients, made a big difference. “It was such a surprise to see a lady with the harp,” Romer says. “It was very soothing and relaxing.” Most of all, they credit Kennedy’s dedicated staff with helping her heal so quickly. – Robert DiGiacomo Life Support Education You can become a lifesaver with Kennedy’s Life Support Education Services.

Kennedy Health Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine Mind, Body & Spirit Series Can you explain a little bit about what Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMT) entails? Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine focuses on the skeletal system, including the muscles, bones/joints and soft tissue structures in the body. I use a lot of hands-on treatment techniques in conjunction with conventional medical care. It is a more holistic and integrative approach to patient care. How long is a typical session and how often is it usually needed? A brief list includes: neck pain, back pain, headaches, scoliosis, pregnancy related pain, fibromyalgia, knee & hip pain, multiple sclerois and other neurologic problems, etc. Typically, the first visit is 45 minutes during which time I will take a thorough history and do a full exam. Most treatment sessions are between 10-25 minutes, depending upon the problem. Is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment painful? It should not be painful. You may experience some pressure or mild discomfort with certain techniques, but I try to tailor each treatment to the specific patient’s tolerance. I always have patients give me feedback during treatment so if they are in any pain we adjust what we are doing.
