South Central Pennsylvania 05-869 PUBLISHER from the Greetings, physicians and healthcare leaders, and welcome to the spring 2017 issue of MD News South Central Pennsylvania, featuring an expansive look at the spectrum of expert care provided throughout the region by WellSpan Health. In our cover feature, we examine in depth WellSpan Philhaven's forging of regional partnerships and utilization of technology- based psychiatric services to enhance access to behavioral health care. Most Americans who need treatment for men- tal illness do not receive it, and like the rest of the nation, Pennsylvania has a shortage of behavioral healthcare providers. WellSpan Philhaven is tackling those challenges head-on. Confronting the epidemic of heroin use and the abuse of prescription opioid medications is no simple endeavor. WellSpan Health employs multiple strategies to curb abuse and save lives. We delve into those wide-ranging eˆorts in another feature. Additional topics in this issue include: + Advanced cardiac treatments and technologies WellSpan uses to reduce patients' risk of stroke and improve their quality of life + A forward-looking partnership that provides WellSpan Health cancer patients access to extremely precise, tissue-sparing proton therapy + The oncology clinical research program at WellSpan, which gives options to patients for whom standard treatments have not yielded the anticipated outcomes + The advanced surgical approaches and multidisciplinary expertise that help WellSpan Gynecologic Oncology deliver leading-edge care + The excellent outcomes that WellSpan fosters for patients with diabetes through patient engagement, provider education and evidence-based practices From our national desk, we oˆer a special section about men's health, as well as articles about mental health, orthopedics and pulmonology, and quick takes on business, technology and physician recruitment. On behalf of the MD News South Central Pennsylvania team and the clinicians and other leaders at WellSpan Health who shared their time and expertise to make this publication pos- sible, thank you for reading. I hope you find the magazine useful, and I welcome your feedback. Warm regards, Susan Ecenbarger ...............................................
