Ronald J. Del Mauro Saint Barnabas Health Care System's HEART HOSPITAL of New Jersey was established in 1997 as one of New Jersey's most comprehensive adult cardiac programs. Today, with locations at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Saint Barnabas Medical Center, The HEART HOSPITAL is respected as one of the nation's most outstanding cardiac treatment centers. Renowed physicians and staff, innovative cardiac procedures and revolutionary technologies combine to provide the most up-to-date life-saving treatments not available anywhere else in New Jersey. Within the last year alone, The HEART HOSPITAL became one of only a handful of centers in the country to provide balloon angioplasty using a new drug-coated stent and began offering sophisticated robotic surgery. Ours is the most experienced heart transplant team in the state and was the first in the Northeast to offer the world's most advanced cardiac assist device. Our success rate for open-heart surgery cases well exceeds the national average. We continue to offer one of the top three pediatric cardiac surgery programs in the country in affiliation with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Pursuit of excellence is the foundation of the Saint Barnabas Health Care System and all its affiliates. Our reputation as a premier health care provider attracts talented physicians and employees, as well as patients seeking the best possible care. John F. Bonamo, M.D., M.S. Autumn and winter are two of the busiest seasons for many families. A return to school and after-school activities, combined with several major holidays, create both joy and havoc for family members. Parents who feel like chauffeurs and children who feel over-extended could benefit from an examination of their daily schedule. In this issue, we offer parents suggestions for eliminating the stress that comes from this whirlwind of activity. Stress can exacerbate many conditions and culminate in health problems if prolonged. Look for our article called De-Stressing the Over-Scheduled Family if you would enjoy some tips for more relaxed living. Saint Barnabas has evolved into a premier health care facility for children. The new $8 million Children's Center at Saint Barnabas has centralized our existing pediatric services within one redesigned and expanded area of the hospital. The Children's Center offers the latest technologies, family-friendly lounges and lobbies, a parent overnight room, sibling play areas and access to the finest pediatric care available. At Saint Barnabas, we hope to help families make the most of their time together, and to provide outstanding medical care if and when it is needed. [ top ] |
