Lakewood, NJ, August 2, 2007 -- Physicians specializing in family practice, obstetrics/gynecology, thoracic surgery, urology and sports medicine have all come together under one roof in a convenient community location

On Wednesday, August 1, an open house and dedication for the Howell Medical Pavilion, located on Route 9 North near the Aldrich Road intersection, was held, drawing local dignitaries including Howell Deputy Mayor Robert F. Walsh and state Sen. Robert Singer. The event featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a host of free health care screenings and refreshments.

Family practitioners Vincent DeStasio, D.O., Lisa Kassenoff, D.O., and Mina Garrett-Scott, M.D., staff the Family Walk-In Center, which offers convenient all-day, after-hour and weekend care for routine illnesses and minor emergencies.

Also opening an office at the pavilion are Mid-Atlantic Multi-Specialty Surgical Group’s thoracic surgeon Vincent Moss, M.D., and urologist Vance Moss, M.D. — who have advanced training in minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery —and obstetrician/gynecologists David Morgan, M.D., Alfred Parchment, M.D., and Didi Salloum, M.D., of Monmouth Ocean Medical Services (MOMS) for Women.

Additionally, fellowship-trained sports physicians James Morales, M.D., and Mark Harary, M.D., of Shore Sports Medicine, have opened an office in Howell Medical Pavilion to provide convenient access to care for non-surgical orthopedic and musculoskeletal injuries.

The physicians are all members of the Kimball Medical Center Medical Staff, and according to Joe Hicks, the hospital’s Executive Director, they have come together in this unique setting to provide convenient, multidisciplinary health care to the residents of Howell.

"Finding new ways to better meet the health care needs of our community can only take place through strong relationships between Kimball, our practitioners and our community, and with this facility, we have really raised the bar for medical care in the region," he said before cutting the ribbon to the suite of medical offices. "Kimball takes great pride in the caliber of the physicians who join our staff, and they have the full support of the medical center. We are so proud of our association with them."
