Our Cover Story focuses on a new 330-499-5332 procedure, the Lariat, and the person who introduced it to Northeast Ohio — Ohad Ziv, MD. Dr. Ziv is Director of the MetroHealth Atrial Fibrillation Center, where he offers the Lariat procedure as a treatment for patients with AFib. Aris Teleradiology and its new hybrid radiology program are highlighted in our Special Feature story. Over the past few years, Aris has expanded its offerings from basic back-up programs to a unique hybrid of on-site and off-site general and subspecialty radiology programs. As a result, Aris has become a national leader in the industry. What's new at University Hospitals Ear, Nose & Throat Institute? We asked this question of Cliff Megerian, MD, Director of the Institute. His answer? New and expanded programs; new locations; and six new physicians, including two pediatric otolaryngologists. Meet the new team members in our Hospital Feature story. Senior Health and Cancer are the themes of this issue's two Special Clinical Sections. Here, too, you'll find info about new programs (see Kindred Healthcare's spotlight article), new treatments and new related research. Back in the Business Section are articles from local experts on new tax laws, leasing office space, writing recommendations, buying municipal bonds, and using the caretaker child exemption to preserve an elder's home. This is the time of year when "home" takes on special meaning. We hope yours is filled with family and friends for the upcoming holidays. JR A AbE@MDNEwS.COM Best wishes to all!
