For example, our affiliation with Jefferson Health provides local access to advanced neurological care, complex GI procedures, cancer clinical trials and genetic counseling. Working together with this highly respected health care organization allows us to tap into their expertise and bring sophisticated new services into our communities. In this issue of Family & Friends + You, we are pleased to feature stories about how we are collaborating with Jefferson Health in the areas of digestive health, neuroscience and oncology. We believe this affiliation strengthens our network and, more importantly, will improve the health of our communities. John DiAngelo President and CEO Inspira Health Network ON THE COVER: Inspira's ER physicians work "side-by-side" with stroke specialists from Jefferson Health to evaluate and treat patients. "I benefitted so much [from local access to my clinical trial]. It was only 10 minutes from my house; my doctors were there. I couldn't have had a better experience. It saved me. I did very well." —Bonnie, Vineland, NJ 2 Late Fall 2015 Inspira Health Network Family & Friends + You
