Jan Raabe P U B L I SHE R 330.499.5332 T jraabe@mdnews.com 6864 Mapleridge NW Canton, OH 44718 + + + + + + + + ELCOME TO THE July-August issue of MD News, where you’ll fi nd stories and articles about, from, and for physicians in the greater Cleveland/Akron/Canton area. Our cover story spotlights maternal-fetal medicine at Aultman Hospital in Canton. Of the 2,500 babies born at Aultman each year, the vast majority of deliveries run smoothly. But for the 10 - 15 percent of high-risk patients who need special care, Drs. Prabhcharan Gill, Michael Krew and Timothy McDaniel, supported by Stark County’s only level III Birth Center and NICU, can make the difference. In this issue, we also have four feature stories, three of which focus on clinical care: 1. University Hospitals (UH) Digestive Health Institute Infl ammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Center; 2. Dr. Dennis Weiner and the Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery Department he leads at Akron Children’s, and 3. Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute. Our fourth feature, entitled ‘Ohio’s EHR Decision Support Tools’, is more business-related. It’s for physicians who need help choosing an electronic health records system. Women’s Health, Diabetes and Obesity are the themes of our Special Section. Here you’ll fi nd clinical articles from local healthcare professionals. In our Business Section are articles from local attorneys, accountants, fi nancial planners and practice managers. And in our Departments section is current news about local doctors, hospitals and research. Looking ahead . . . the September-October issue of MD News will include a Special Section focusing on Neurology, Neurosurgery and Sleep Medicine. See page 41 for details and deadlines, then call me to fi nd out how you can be a part of this issue.
