+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FROM THE PUBLISHER +++ +++ W W Thanks for reading! 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 September-October issue of MD News, where you'll fi nd stories and articles about, from and for physicians in the greater Cleveland/Akron/Canton area. "What's new?" seems to be the overall theme of this issue. In our cover story, Dr. Jay Gershen, the relatively new — less than one year — president of Northeast Ohio Medical University (formerly Northeast Ohio Universities College of Medicine) talks about the university's new name, new partner, new programs, new research efforts and new building plans. Two of our three feature stories focus on what's new at University Hospitals (UH) and Akron Children's Hospital. At UH, a Laryngology & Voice Center offers new hope to adults and children experiencing diffi culties with speech, dysphagia and other laryngology functions. At Akron Children's new NeuroDevelopmental Science Center, a multidisciplinary team of pediatric specialists addresses not only physical symptoms but also mental, emotional and behavioral issues. Neuroscience is the theme of our Special Section, where you'll fi nd articles from local healthcare professionals about new neurosurgeries, new consid- erations for diagnosing concussions, and a new device for reconstruction of intracranial aneurysms. There's also info about the new NeuroScience Center at Akron General. Leading off our Business Section is a feature story about the deeper meaning of "meaningful use" and the Cleveland area doctors and hospitals which were among the fi rst to comply. Other business-related articles in this section offer professional advice to practicing physicians about communicating, billing, banking, investing, transferring wealth and HIPAA activity (look out, it's on the rise). Looking ahead ... the November-December issue of MD News will include two Special Sections: one focusing on Cancer; the other, on Caring for Older Patients. See page 21 for details, then call me to fi nd out how YOU can be a part of this issue.
