Sickle Cell Pain Crisis Trial opens at the Children’s HospitalA new clinical trial opened on April 22, 2013 for ADVENTRX/MAST trial ANX 188-01 and ANX 188-04 studies

to benefit the sickle cell patients at the T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital at Erlanger. The trial benefits Hb SS and HbSβ0thal patients experiencing veno-occlusive crisis and requiring hospitalization for treatment with parental opioids, and it will be administered under Institutional Principal Investigator Jennifer Keates-Baleeiro, M.D. This is the first trail in Chattanooga of patients between ages 8-18 years and specifically targets children with sickle cell crisis and tries to alleviate the crisis by changing the shape of the sickle cell thus decreasing viscosity and relieving pain crisis.

Medical Explorations Program: FUTURE DocsMedical Explorations is a three week program in June sponsored by the UT College of Medicine Future Docs

program. High school seniors and undergraduate students interested in the medical field rotate through various clinical services to see the world of healthcare in the medical setting. They go through an extensive orientation that includes not only HIPAA training, but also training in professionalism and the doctor-patient relationship.

“The purpose of the program is to help students decide if they want to pursue a career as a physician. They observe resident and attending physicians in their daily work life, giving them a very unique behind-the-scenes look at a career in medicine.” according to R. Kent Hutson, MD, Chief of Radiology at Erlanger Health System and Chair of Radiology at UTCOM Chattanooga, who heads the program.

“If I had known about this program when I was in high school, I definitely would have taken the opportunity and the decision to be a physician wouldn’t have been as hard to decide when I got to college. I love what this program offers students and I feel blessed to be a part of the program. I truly believe the students in the program learn a lot while they are with us and have some clarity when they leave.” says Ashley Broadway, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga student, who is the coordinator of the program.

Medical Explorations is made possible by all the UTCOM/Erlanger physicians that agree to participate. Those doctors make this program possible each summer. Hutson and Broadway hope that this program will be able to continue to educate and inspire future generations to pursue careers as physicians.

Erlanger named Best Hospital in Chattanooga, One of the Top 8 Hospitals in Tennessee, and One of America’s Top HospitalsExcerpt from an Erlanger article“For the third straight year, the Erlanger Health System has been named among “America’s Best Hospitals” by

U.S. News & World Report in the publication’s 2013-14 Top Hospitals edition. Erlanger was named “Best Hospital by Metro Area,” and ranked one of the top eight hospitals in Tennessee. Erlanger was also the only local hospital to be recognized for the high performing specialties of diabetes and endocrinology, pulmonology and nephrology.

“As the region’s only academic teaching hospital and Level One Trauma Center, we are extremely pleased to have earned this national recognition from U.S. News & World Report for the third straight year,” said Erlanger President and CEO Kevin M. Spiegel, FACHE. “It’s a notable tribute to Erlanger’s capabilities and service to the region; we practice what we teach.”

The 24th edition of U.S. News and World Report showcases the best of the nation’s 5,000 hospitals. Methodology for rating hospitals includes data that is publicly available and less subjective, such as information collected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS Hospital Compare). Other criteria used in the U.S. News & World Report ratings include patient survival, infection rates, patient safety measures, nurse-to-patient ratios and responses from medical specialists to opinion surveys.”
