Greater Boston 05-816 E L L O , A N D W E L C O M E to the latest issue of the industr y maga zine about, from and for phy sic i a n s: M D Ne ws Greater Boston. Our cover story this month focuses on Saint Anne's Hospital's Center for Orthopedic Excellence. The Center has more than 30 orthopedic specialists, nurse practi- tioners and physician assistants, resulting in an expert network spanning Bristol County, Massachusetts. Whether patients visit the main hospital campus in Fall River, Saint Anne's Hospital Ambulatory Surgery Center in Dartmouth or the Southern New England Surgery Center in Attleboro, they will find specialized expertise and a high standard of care across the orthopedic spectrum. Specialties include pediatrics, sports medicine, hand and shoulder surgery, and total joint reconstruction. Our group interview with orthopedic surgeon Edward Klein, DO; Chief of Orthopedics Jerald Katz, MD; Associate Chief of Anesthesia Betty Medeiros- Beattie, MD; Director of the OR and Center for Orthopedic Excellence Toni-Ann Nunes, RN; and Chair of Anesthesia Vijay Sudheendra, MD, offers insight into what this means for patients and their referring physicians. Far from mere aesthetic pursuits, the arts and humanities can inform clinical research and enhance patient care, according to both modern-day experts and historical evidence. Our national feature explores the value of integrating artistic approaches into physician training and practice. It is difficult to overstate the importance of bariatric surgery in addressing the obesity epidemic and associated comorbidities. In our special clinical section, we examine the effectiveness of bariatric procedures relative to traditional means of weight loss. In addition, we report on the potential of a cocktail of FDA-approved drugs to treat diabetes. And our Data Vault offers a statistical snapshot of bariatric surgery and obesity. MD News is an effective means for medical professionals to share their expertise with healthcare providers throughout the region. We're already starting to book up stories for 2015.
