Susan Hargrove (317) 218-43391216 W Carmel Dr

A relationship with your bank as healthy as the relationship you have with your patients.

Greetings and Happy New Year to all of our members. As your incoming

IMS president, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Chris Bojrab, I am a board-certified psychiatrist in private practice and am the president of Indiana Health Group located in Carmel. I have been involved in organized medicine since I was a student at the Indiana University School of Medicine, having served in leadership positions in the Indianapolis Medical Society, the Indiana State Medical Association, the American Medical Association, the Indiana Psychiatric Society, and the American Psychiatric Association.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to our Immediate Past President, Dr. Mary McAteer, as well as our entire IMS Executive Committee and Board of Directors for the generosity of their time and energy on behalf of all of our members during 2018.

As you may be aware, 2018 was a year of incredible change for our organization. After a year of review including working with an outside consultant with expertise in medical association management, we recognized the need to restructure our operational management in order to continue to thrive and meet the needs of our members. With gratitude for decades of loyal service to our members, we bid a fond farewell to our friends and executive administrative staff including Beverly Hurt, Becky Collis, Ann Knight, and Tyna McCauley who, between them, had nearly a century of service to the IMS.

After evaluating a number of possibilities, your Board of Directors selected The Corydon Group as our association management partners. Initially established in 2000, the Corydon Group has become one of the premier organizations in the state providing association management, government affairs, health policy, and communications services. Working with the Corydon Group, your Indianapolis Medical Society was very pleased to bring aboard Morgan Perrill as our new Executive Vice President.

One of our goals for 2019 is to increase membership in the Indianapolis Medical Society. Membership in professional societies has been declining for a number of years. This is a concerning trend especially coming at a time that there has been a virtual reversal of the traditional ratio of employed vs. independent physicians (when I first started in practice,

“As we have more demands on our time and energy, we need an organization to represent our interests.”

approximately 80% of physicians worked in independent practices and 20% were employed by hospitals or other organization). As we face more and more regulatory constraints, bureaucratic red tape, and intrusions into the doctor-patient relationship, it is easy to become frustrated, to feel increasingly isolated from each other, and a lack of control over being able to change our circumstances. This is why now, more than ever, it is important to be a member of the Indianapolis Medical Society and organized medicine.

As we have more demands on our time and energy, we need an organization to represent our interests. Historically, I believe there has been a certain degree of discomfort with seeing our professional organizations focusing on so-called guild issues. Many felt that our primary focus should be on patient advocacy and philanthropic work. To be sure, these are admirable endeavors and worthy of our support. But given the current practice environment, I believe it is not only appropriate, but rather it is critical that we look towards being a membership organization whose focus is on the interests of its members.

As we start the new year, I would encourage you to think about what you want your membership organization to do for you. What would you want to accomplish if you had the voice and the reach, because together, we do.

“Improving the health of Hoosiers won’t happen overnight. Just as it takes time to gain weight, we need time to change behaviors and lifestyles so that people can lose it – and keep it off.”

Special FeatureIndiana’s Health: Becoming the Best at Getting Better By Kristina Box, M.D., FACOG, Indiana State Health Commissioner

When I became state health commissioner in October 2017 after a 30-year career as an obstetrician/gynecologist, I set a goal of helping Indiana become the “best at getting better” when it comes to health. But to do that, I first had to learn – about public health, about the work done at the Indiana State Department of Health, and about the challenges we face as a state in keeping our citizens safe and healthy.

Those challenges are many. Hundreds of our babies never

live to see their first birthdays. Many others are born exposed to drugs. Our overdose rates are troubling as new synthetic drugs continually hit the streets, putting our citizens and public safety personnel at risk. Our adult smoking rates continue to climb above the national average, and our battles with weight put an alarming number of Hoosiers at risk for severe health complications.

As I’ve educated myself about these issues and others, I’ve had excellent teachers. Much of my first year has been focused on gathering feedback from partners across the state, connecting with stakeholders and meeting with all 93 local health departments to learn more about the unique challenges they face in their communities.

I believe firmly that we can’t make decisions in a vacuum. We have to know what people are saying and doing in our communities, because what we think will work from ISDH headquarters in downtown Indianapolis might not be a good fit in rural southern Indiana. My visits to the local health departments were incredibly enlightening and helped shape my thoughts on how ISDH needs to address the most pressing health issues facing our state. They also provided a firsthand look at innovative programs being launched to address these pressing health issues.

Improving the health of Hoosiers won’t happen overnight. Just as it takes time to gain weight, we need time to change behaviors and lifestyles so that people can lose it – and keep it off. Reducing

infant mortality requires educating pregnant women and their partners and wrapping services around those most at risk so that we improve the health of the mother and her baby and give both the best opportunity to thrive. Lowering our smoking rate means providing cessation resources to current smokers and educating those who haven’t started smoking, especially our youth, about the risks. I am extremely concerned about the increase in e-cigarette use among our youth.

This is a marathon, not a sprint, but I am encouraged by the progress being made, even as I recognize the challenges that remain. Indiana’s overall infant mortality dropped in 2017, and we are building systems to help reduce it even further as part of Governor Holcomb’s challenge to have the lowest infant mortality rate in the Midwest by 2024. That effort includes establishing a new Perinatal Levels of Care program, which will help ensure that women deliver their babies at facilities best equipped to meet the medical needs of both. It also includes education about safe sleep practices, the distribution of thousands of free cribs and partnering with first responders to help recognize unsafe sleep environments and educate residents about how to keep babies safe. We are gaining a better understanding of the prevalence of drug-exposed babies through a pilot program that we hope will be expanded statewide through legislation this year.

At ISDH, we are committed to focusing on the social determinants of health in all of our policies. That requires examining the barriers to health care, such as a lack of transportation to medical appointments, and partnering with other entities to remove those barriers. When we look at infant mortality, we recognize that a woman who is struggling to keep food on the table or a roof over her head is more likely to put a prenatal visit lower on her priority list. Understanding that individuals’ health can be impacted by where they live, their socioeconomic status and their racial or ethnic background is as important as understanding the conditions they have been diagnosed with. Walking a mile in a Hoosier’s shoes tells us volumes about how we need to approach better health in Indiana.

As I dig into my second year as health commissioner, I invite all Hoosiers to join me in my quest to become the best at getting better. Look around with fresh eyes. What opportunities are we missing? What innovations need to be shared outside your community? We won’t change our health overnight, but even steps as small as a daily walk at lunchtime can add up to big changes over time.

“It’s time for an attitude adjustment. It’s time to reduce the human tragedy caused by smoking. Let’s do the right thing for Indiana’s health and economics”

Editorial Tobacco Tax and Smoking Age in Indiana By Richard D. Feldman, MD

Note from the EVP: the following are the opinions of one of our members. This article is published with the intent to encourage discussion. If you have an opposing viewpoint, please send it. We would be happy to publish it in next month’s edition. Additionally, if you have an editorial you would like to share please feel free to submit it to me at [email protected]

The state of health in Indiana is pathetic . The state ranks among the states with the highest prevalence of cancer, obesity, and most chronic diseases. Our infant mortality rate, long thought of as a strong barometer of a state’s general health, is one of the worst in the country. Indiana ranks 9th highest in smoking, and 49th in public health funding.

Tobacco use still is the leading cause of preventable disease and premature death,

and the Hoosier state is mired in the human and economic losses due to its use. The smoking rate nationally is now down to 15 percent but Indiana’s rate tops 21 percent. One in five Hoosiers die as a result of smoking (11,000 per year), 4,100 kids start smoking every day, and tobacco use costs our state $7.6 billion in total economic loss yearly in health-care costs and lost productivity.

Think back to 2000, when Indiana enacted its historic Tobacco Settlement legislation. We were the only state to allocate 100 percent of the funds to health-related purposes and meet CDC recommended funding for tobacco prevention programming. It was a proud bipartisan achievement; Indiana was recognized as a leader in public-health policy. It was all about health; it was a great time of hope for a healthier Indiana.

But the attitude changed quickly as the much of the funds were diverted to other uses. Tobacco prevention funding was quickly reduced to an ineffective amount, especially for our children.

Raising the cost of tobacco is the single most effective strategy in reducing use. For every 10 percent increase in a pack of cigarettes, smoking is reduced about 7 percent in children and 4 percent in

adults. Once again this session, legislation will be introduced to raise Indiana’s cigarette tax. The goal: A $2 increase per pack that would generate $360 million in revenue yearly. Since the health argument doesn’t ultimately work well in the General Assembly, maybe a new emphasis on the financial costs of tobacco use to the state and business might work. Each smoker costs a business $6,200 extra yearly for health care and lost productivity. An unhealthy workforce is a drag on business and a barrier for economic development. And the added revenue would be the remedy for the tight budget forecast.

Since 2007 our tax has been 99.5 cents per pack, well below our surrounding states of Illinois ($2.42), Ohio ($1.60), and Michigan ($2), Wisconsin ($2.52), and the national average of $1.70. Even the tobacco state of Kentucky has a tax of $1.10 a pack.

Specific uses for the increased state revenue could include funding for opioid treatment, initiatives to reduce infant mortality; necessary support to sustain the expanded Medicaid program; and increased funding of the state’s tobacco prevention programs.

Oh, and look for legislation increasing the age of tobacco sales from 18 to 21. Six states and more than 350 localities have enacted Tobacco 21 legislation. The measure makes a lot of public health sense: Ninety percent of smokers begin daily smoking before age 19, and 95 percent initiate smoking by age 21; between the ages of 18 and 21, many young smokers move from experimentation to addiction and daily use. Additionally, ninety percent of individuals who purchase tobacco for minors are between the ages of 18 and 21. Delaying initiation will ultimately reduce adult smoking.

It’s time for an attitude adjustment. It’s time to reduce the human tragedy caused by smoking. Let’s do the right thing for Indiana’s health and economics.
