Greetings, physicians and other healthcare leaders, and welcome to the Greater Kansas edition of MD News. Each year, almost 800,000 people in the U.S. experience a stroke, making it the fifth most common cause of death and the No. 1 cause of disability. Hospitals around the country are working to reduce the morbidity and mortality of stroke by establishing protocols and care centers to combat the issue. In our cover story, learn how Ascension Via Christi St. Francis, the only Wichita hospital with the demonstrated ability to deliver advanced stroke care 24/7, is raising the bar on stroke care in its certified Comprehensive Stroke Center. In this issue of MD News, we also take a closer look at cardiology and mental health. Our clinical feature about cardiology explores findings that most nutritional supple- ments and specialized diets do not improve cardiovascular outcomes. Our clinical feature on mental health explores the consequences of overdiagnosing schizophrenia and highlights the importance of involving specialists when psychotic disorders are suspected. Leverage MD News' multiple platforms to inform referring physicians about your organization's advanced capabilities and technologies.
