It's not news to anyone reading this magazine that healthcare is an industry filled with turbulence. The future implications of repealing and replac- ing Obamacare, declining reimbursements, aging populations, technology and other "noise" make change a constant. And though much of this change involves elimination of services and shrinking medical groups, the Northeast Ohio market stays vibrant. In this issue we proudly introduce a number of new physicians across differing specialties — primary care, gastroenterology and pediatric interventional radiology — all poised to continue to elevate the quality and access of healthcare for patients in our region. While pediatric interventional radiology is a relatively new and evolving subspecialty, Akron Children's Hospital saw a steady and growing demand for IR services. To meet this need, they invested the human and capital resources necessary. And now ACH is the only hospital in Northeast Ohio with a dedicated pediatric interventional radiologist — Janice McDaniel, MD. Western Reserve Hospital Physicians, Inc. (WRHPI) is also responding to consistent market demand by expanding its line of specialty healthcare services. WRHP Gastroenterology recently opened three offices in Summit and Medina Counties, led by board-certified gastroenterologists John S. Park, MD, and Corey J. Sievers, MD. The physicians connect with their oft-senior patient base with a compassionate, sensitive approach to difficult and lifestyle-impacting health issues. Also in this issue, we introduce two primary care physicians who recently joined Unity Health Network: Troy Bishop, MD, and Ruchi Taliwal, MD. Unity is Northeast Ohio's largest independent physician group. As always it's exciting to continue to report on new physicians, new services and continued expansion of our healthcare market. And we look forward to bringing more positive news in the next issue of MD News!
