BROAD AND BEYOND

For more than 120 years, Temple Health has been providing advanced care to the Philadelphia

region, while leading in the discovery of new and better medical treatments. Today, Temple Health’s

physician leadership is building on its rich history while transforming it from one of Philadelphia’s

leading academic medical centers into a nationally renowned, top-tier medical institution.

In just the last year, world-recognized clinicians, researchers, academicians and administrators

have joined the organization in key leadership positions. We have launched advanced clinical

endeavors such as our Robotic Surgery Program. Our School of Medicine has opened a strong

regional campus at St. Luke’s Hospital & Health Network in Bethlehem. We’ve expanded our clinical

sites to include a new outpatient office in Oaks, PA and one soon to open in Fort Washington. And

we’ve enhanced the care on our Broad Street campus with investments like that in the new

patient-focused Ambulatory Surgery Center.

With our new programs, research and faculty, this is one of the most dynamic periods in

Temple Health’s history.

FROM BROAD STREETTO THE SUBURBS ANDBEYOND, TEMPLE HEALTHIS CHANGING THE FACEOF MEDICINE.

Larry R. Kaiser, MD, FACSSenior Executive Vice President for Health Sciences, Temple UniversityDean & Professor of Surgery, Temple University School of MedicinePresident & Chief Executive Officer, Temple University Health System

There is a palpable sense of enthusiasm and excitement here. We’ve recruited renowned

physicians from around the country who have enhanced Temple’s capacity to expand its

mission well beyond our traditional boundaries.“

”

Before you can offer world-class clinical care, you need to invest in world-class clinicians and

the most advanced technology available. And right now in the Philadelphia region, Temple Health

is doing just that.

Merging high-end technology like the da Vinci® Surgical System, with our renowned robotic

surgeons, Temple Health can now offer the least invasive options for patients needing treatment

in cardiology, gynecology, ENT and urology.

DEVELOPING ALTERNATIVES TO MANY INVASIVE SURGERIES

Daniel D. Eun, MDVice Chief of Robotic SurgeryDirector of Minimally Invasive Robotic Urologic Oncology & Reconstruction, Temple University HospitalAssociate Professor of Clinical Urology, Temple University School of Medicine

Minimally invasive and robotic surgery is revolutionizing patient care. Already we can offer many

patients the full treatment benefits of surgery with far smaller incisions, less tissue damage and faster

recovery time. At Temple, we’re developing innovative robotic procedures that improve treatment for

a broader group of patients.

“”

The goal of translational medicine is to achieve new breakthrough discoveries in the lab and bring

them to patients’ bedsides faster. Right now Temple has an incredible influx of new people, new

ideas and new energy which makes it a great place for this groundbreaking work to take place.“

”Walter J. Koch, PhDProfessor and Chair of the Department of PharmacologyDirector of the Center for Translational Medicine,Temple University School of Medicine

The future of medicine is the individualization of care. Meaning we wish to identify genetic and epigenetic

factors that contribute to different diseases in different people, and customize therapies to treat them.“”Jean-Pierre Issa, MD

Professor of MedicineDirector of the Fels Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Biology,Temple University School of Medicine

Today, Temple researchers are advancing new therapies for the most widespread and deadly diseases.

Temple’s new Center for Translational Medicine is actively pushing the boundaries of science

and converting laboratory breakthroughs into effective new therapies and treatments in much

less time than ever before, giving new hope to patients with few other options. Temple’s Fels Institute

for Cancer Research and Molecular Biology is pioneering the field of personalized medicine

through its work in epigenetics and discovering new ways to prevent and cure disease.

With the planned addition of Fox Chase Cancer Center, one of the most respected

cancer centers in the country, Temple Health is poised to create synergies in

research resulting in new life-saving cancer treatments.

TURNING MEDICAL RESEARCH INTO MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGHS

Crystal A. Gadegbeku, MD, FAHASection Chief of Nephrology, Hypertension and Kidney Transplantation, Temple University HospitalAssociate Professor of Medicine, Temple University School of Medicine

Our goal is to become a role model for keeping diverse communities healthy. We’re also harnessing

the commitment of our faculty and staff to teach and train as we provide the next generation of

physicians with the knowledge and skills they’ll need to effectively treat patients amid the many

emerging changes in healthcare.

“”

Emphasizing a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach, Temple Health faculty are training the

next generation of physicians to meet the challenges in medicine today, while preparing them for

those of the coming years.

By empowering tomorrow’s doctors with the knowledge and experience they need both to treat and to

prevent disease, we’ll improve the health status of generations to come. This is one of the reasons

that Temple Health is becoming a role model for academic medical centers across the country.

CREATING NEW MODELS OF CARE IN AN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY

Yoshiya Toyoda, MD, PhDVice Chief of Cardiothoracic SurgerySurgical Director of Heart and Lung TransplantationDirector of Mechanical Circulatory Support, Temple University HospitalProfessor of Surgery, Temple University School of Medicine

I came to Temple because I wanted to work with the people here. I feel a strong commitment from

Dr. Kaiser and other leaders at Temple. Everyone has the same goal – cardiologists, pulmonologists,

anesthesiologists, coordinators, nurses – everybody. In addition to offering the highest quality care for

end-stage cardiopulmonary diseases, my goal is to make the Temple Thoracic Transplant Program one

of the best in the world clinically and academically, and to train promising surgeons who can become

future thoracic transplant directors. I made a good decision coming to Temple.”

“”

Temple is attracting clinicians and researchers at the top of their fields. One recent example is

Yoshiya Toyoda, MD, PhD. Dr. Toyoda has an outstanding international reputation and before coming

to Temple directed one of the largest and most successful heart and lung transplant programs in the

United States. He has performed more than 450 heart, lung and heart-lung transplants and pioneered

a minimally invasive surgical technique that helps patients to avoid complications. Dr. Toyoda has also

written several book chapters and has published over 300 abstracts and articles in peer-reviewed

publications. In addition, he has mentored over 40 cardiothoracic residents, fellows,

researchers and observers from all over the world.

TRANSFORMING TEMPLE’S PROGRAMS WITH WORLD RENOWNED PHYSICIANS

Amy Goldberg, MD, FACSSection Chief of Trauma and Surgical Critical CareGeneral Surgery Residency Program Director, Temple University HospitalProfessor of Surgery, Temple University School of Medicine

Temple is a tremendous place to work. I’ve been here for 20 years. Our mission, what we do every

day—makes a difference. Our new leadership has made a strong commitment to our mission and to our

growth. The things we’ve been doing forever and the new things we’re doing now, we’re building

something for the next 10, 20, 30 years. Coming to Temple was the best thing that ever happened to me

professionally. I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else.

“”

Temple Health is now in the midst of one of the greatest chapters in its storied 120-year history.

It’s a time of transformation, growth, collaboration, new energy and new vision, which has kindled

much excitement among our physicians, nurses and staff.

With a commitment from our new leadership, we are transforming Temple Health into a leading

academic medical institution. We remain committed to excellence, multidisciplinary clinical care,

research and expansion, all while continuing to provide advanced medical care in our neighborhood

community and beyond.
