2010 Reflections of Excellence

NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) takes great pride in the honors and accolades we’ve achieved in the past year, because they represent our dedication to and genuine effort in serving our patients.

Our commitment to excellence attracts outstanding physicians and staff who share our passionfor continuous improvement. It also attracts research funding from industry and government.This year, among comprehensive independent research hospitals, NorthShore ranked No.10 in the nation and No.1 in Illinois in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Following are some of the awards we’ve received for finding better ways to care for our patients,for improving the technology that supports our physicians and caregivers, and for showing thestrong leadership that today’s healthcare environment demands.

When NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) decided in 2002 to implement one of the nation’s first fully integrated electronic medicalrecords systems, we knew we had the opportunity for creating better andmore efficient medical care. Today, we have realized that opportunity as our patients benefit from having their complete clinical information instantlyaccessible to all members of their care team. More than 100,000 patientsenjoy the convenience of NorthShoreConnect, which allows them to scheduleappointments, order prescription refills and communicate with their physiciansthrough a secure online portal.

It’s one thing to lead the way; staying at the front of the line requires persever-ance. Today, NorthShore is committed to becoming a leader in research informatics in addition to clinical informatics, mining the massive amounts ofdata in our system to make discoveries about quality improvement, clinicaloutcomes and the comparative effectiveness of different treatments.

This shows our continued commitment to excellence—bringing together highly skilled and deeply compassionate physiciansand staff, and using the latest in medical and information technology to provide the best of care.

This past year we completed our academic transition and became the principal teaching affiliate of the University of ChicagoPritzker School of Medicine. Our attending physicians hold faculty appointments at the University, and its medical students,residents and fellows undertake part of their training at NorthShore hospitals. These learners give the experience the highestratings—including the special opportunity to train at our Simulation Lab, one of only a few such facilities in the country.

The Chicago Institute of Neurosurgery and Neuroresearch (CINN) merged into the NorthShore family, bringing 15 outstand-ing specialists to the NorthShore Neurological Institute. Our nursing program earned the coveted Magnet Status, the firsthealth system in Illinois to do so and granted to only 6 percent of hospitals in the U.S. And we’re proud to once again benamed one of the 100 Top Hospitals and 15 Top Major Teaching Hospitals by Thomson Reuters—the only institution in thecountry to achieve this honor 14 times.

NorthShore remains in a good position to help drive improvements in healthcare. Our physicians, nurses, hospital staff, management and information systems team work as one integrated unit, with the strength and flexibility to respond to thechallenges of a very tough economy and a changing regulatory environment. We were fortunate to achieve another recordfinancial year, with revenue growth to $1.6 billion.

Most importantly, we continue to innovate, seeking not just current “best practices” but to define the “next” practices thatwill become the standard of care in the future. Some of those will emerge from our medical informatics efforts. Perhaps others will come out of our new molecular medicine program, which is translating scientific discoveries in this emerging fieldinto real benefits for patients.

At NorthShore, we remain optimistic about the future, and we are rededicating ourselves to the patients and families we areso privileged to serve.

Excellence in OncologyKnowledge is Power for Family withGenetic Risk for Breast Cancer


Schondorf, now 29, and her mother, Ziva Green-Kredow, ofHighland Park, were devastated when their beloved aunt andsister succumbed to breast cancer 10 years ago at age 49. Itwas Green-Kredow’s obstetrician/gynecologist, NorthShoreUniversity HealthSystem (NorthShore) affiliated physician RobertLaPata, MD, who suggested both women consider geneticcounseling and testing for the BRCA1/BRCA2 gene mutation atNorthShore’s Center for Medical Genetics. Having a sister/auntwho had tested positive for the gene mutation, who died fromthe disease and being of Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewishancestry put them at high risk for also carrying BRCA1/BRCA2,which increases the likelihood of developing breast and ovarian cancer—87 percent and 40 percent, respectively.

“Dr. LaPata changed our destinies,” said Green-Kredow,who at 39 had a risk-reducing mastectomy with removal of herovaries and fallopian tubes after testing positive for BRCA1.

Barely 20, Schondorf wasn’t ready to face those difficultdecisions. She moved to Los Angeles after college, remainingdiligent about breast self exams. She enrolled in a clinical surveil-lance study, getting regular mammograms and breast MRIs.Schondorf and her mother volunteered with the advocacy groupFORCE (Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered).

Schondorf wanted to take steps to prevent even develop-ing breast cancer. At age 23, “I wanted to be a ‘pre-vivor,’ not a survivor” she said of her decision to test for the BRCA1gene mutation, which, was positive. Despite many physicians in LA, she returned home in 2009 for a procedure called “risk-reducing, one-step, nipple-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction” performed by David J. Winchester, MD, andGeoffrey Fenner, MD, at NorthShore Evanston Hospital.

“There has been a dramatic shift in knowledge over the last 10 years in determining an individual’s risk for developingbreast and ovarian cancer, and it is enabling women to

LLiiffee--SSaavviinnggIInnffoorrmmaattiioonnOf the more than 192,000women in the U.S. who arediagnosed with breast cancerannually, about 5 to 10 per-cent have a hereditary formof the disease throughBRCA1/BRCA2 gene muta-tion. This makes them moresusceptible to developingbreast or ovarian cancer.

Previous generations ofyounger women didn’t knowthis mutation existed, but advances in genetic research havegiven some women the power of information.

“Although it can be difficult to face this issue, the lifesavingoptions for finding out one’s BRCA1/BRCA2 status far outweighnot knowing,” said Wendy Rubinstein, MD, PhD, Director,NorthShore’s Center for Medical Genetics and on faculty at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. “Geneticcounseling helps make decisions based on knowledge. Weempower patients to make their own best, medically sounddecisions.”

proactively control their risk,” said Dr. Winchester, Chief ofNorthShore’s Division of General Surgery and Surgical Oncologyand Board of Directors/David P. Winchester, MD, Chair ofSurgical Oncology and on faculty at the University of ChicagoPritzker School of Medicine.

Unlike a total mastectomy, which removes breast tissue,nipples and areola, leaving much visible scarring, in this proce-dure a surgeon makes the incision under the breast (which can help conceal scars), removing the tissue but preserving thenipple and areola. Next, a plastic surgeon restores the originalcontour of the breast through silicone implants. NorthShore isone of only a few institutions in the nation offering the procedure.The risk reduction is substantial, well over 90 percent, similar to a total mastectomy. Patients undergoing this surgery atNorthShore have the option of participating in a clinical trial to examine the procedure’s long-term safety, aesthetic and quality-of-life outcomes.

“This procedure spares a patient from undergoing two separate surgeries,” said Dr. Fenner, a NorthShore-affiliated plastic and reconstructive surgeon. “It’s uplifting for the patient,psychologically, to come out of surgery still feeling whole.” n

At 19, self-described planner Sivan Kredow Schondorf’s future wasunfolding. A career as a speech pathologist and marriage lay ahead.She could not have predicted, however, her aunt dying of breast cancer and its implications for her and the rest of her family.

Just months after her prophylac-tic bilateral mastectomy, 28-yearold Sivan Kredow Schondorf,pictured with her husband Mark,walked down the aisle in astrapless wedding gown filledwith the joy of the day andstrengthened by the knowledgethat she was starting her newlife with a lower risk for develop-ing breast cancer.

Excellence in CardiologyClinical Trial Paves the Way for New Standard of Care


At 95 and going stronger than ever following a transcatheterprocedure in May, Vaughan, who swims laps six days a week(skipping Sunday morning for church) and walks at a briskpace concealing his age, is looking forward to reaching the centennial mark.

Dr. Feldman, an internationally recognized expert in thegrowing area of catheter-based therapies for heart diseaseand the Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Walgreen, Jr. Chair ofCardiology, is thrilled with Vaughan’s approach and zest forlife, and believes he has a good chance of reaching the nextmilestone birthday.

As one of just 22 sites in the country involved in thePARTNER (Placement of AoRtic traNscathetER valves) trial,NorthShore is at the forefront of this leading-edge technologythat allows physicians to treat aortic stenosis—heart diseasecharacterized by calcification and narrowing of the valve—without traditional open heart surgery, which is often too riskyfor some elderly patients.

The PARTNER trial was designed specifically to study non-surgical valve replacement in older patients, and elderlyindividuals with other health complications, that would precludethem from open heart surgery. Offering a less invasive optionfor valve replacement gives a whole new group of patients anoption for treatment when they previously had none.

Aortic stenosis is a progressive disease where symptomsaccelerate and begin to take a greater toll on patients’ qualityof life, as well as limiting their lifespan, said Dr. Feldman. That was definitely the case for Vaughan, who was getting sowinded he had to give up his swimming and would tire in justa few steps of walking.

“They told me I had a 50/50 chance of surviving even ayear without this procedure,” said Vaughan, who was referredto NorthShore by his Milwaukee cardiologist. Vaughan and his92-year-old wife are engaged in a variety of activities at theirMequon, Wi. retirement community. “I think I am doing prettywell,” he said. “I read the New York Times every day and I findenough active things to do to stay busy.”

Dr. Feldman has been treating heart disease patients with earlier catheter balloon therapies since the mid-eightiesand continues to be gratified and energized by the growingpotential to not only extend life, but to offer real improvementsin quality of life for so many.

The PARTNER trial is truly a team effort, and even thename reflects the collaborative efforts of the interventional cardiologist and the cardiac surgeon, said Dr. Feldman, who is joined by NorthShore cardiothoracic surgeon John C.Alexander, MD. Drs. Feldman and Alexander, both on facultyat the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, leada team of more than 50 physicians, nurses and other health-care professionals involved in this trial including key players in anesthesiology, echocardiography and cardiac imaging.

“This is a spectacular device, and I think it has hugepromise not only for this currently untreatable population, butfor a more traditional patient base as well,” said Dr. Alexander.

Anesthesiologist Jesse Marymont, MD, who is also inti-mately involved in the trial, and on faculty at the University ofChicago Pritzker School of Medicine, is pleased to see thatNorthShore has positioned itself as a leader in this area ofinterventional cardiology. “Hopefully these options we arestudying today will be the standard of care in ten years,” saidDr. Marymont. “There is no question as we learn more aboutthe durability of this device we will be able to treat and benefityounger patients as well,” Dr. Feldman said.

While this particular catheter-based therapy is alreadyapproved in Europe, it is still pending in the United Stateswhere results of the first stage of the trial were just released. In the randomized trial patients treated with the new heartvalve had much better survival and significantly fewer repeathospitalizations compared to those treated with regular medicines or simple balloon treatment.

“I hope the FDA hurries up with its approval of this so itcan be extended to other people like me who can enjoy thebenefits of longer, healthier lives,” Vaughan said. n

By participating in the pivotal North American PARTNER trial andundergoing aortic heart valve replacement with NorthShore UniversityHealthSystem (NorthShore) Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Director Ted Feldman, MD, James Vaughan essentially agreed to live to the age of 100.

Excellence in NeurologyExpertise and TeamworkSave a Life


Hefter, 63 and recently retired, does indeed have much to begrateful for as she has made a full recovery after suffering theeffects of a rare and quite large tumor on her spinal cord thatdid progressive damage, but went undetected until Hefter sawNorthShore neurologist David Randall, DO, a neuromuscularspecialist on faculty at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.

In January 2008, Hefter went bowling with friends andnoticed that her hands were swollen to the point that they didnot fit into the ball. Thinking it must be arthritis, Hefter, who hadgenerally enjoyed good health, waited a few months beforecalling her internist. In the meantime, she also noticed someswelling in her legs, but again tried to dismiss what sheassumed was not a big deal.

The swelling continued, and the pain began to increase.Over the course of the next two years, Hefter saw physiciansincluding a rheumatologist who did various tests and wereunable to find the cause of her growing pain. She lost feeling inher feet and no longer was able to drive; she lost movementability in her hands to the point that making a sandwich was anarduous task. Life as she knew it was slipping away, and Hefterwas in nearly constant pain.

Finally, a co-worker suggested she see Dr. Randall, andsuddenly there was a light at the end of a very dark tunnel. “Dr. Randall and his nurse spent more than an hour and a halfwith me at that first visit,” Hefter recalled. Both Hefter and her husband marveled at the thorough history taken by nurseCheryl Szarabajka, RN, BSN, and the careful and compassion-ate exam by Dr. Randall who understood the severity of herproblem and immediately ordered an MRI.

“I could tell she had a compression on her spinal cord,”Dr. Randall said. “She was able to describe her symptoms ingreat detail and the physical exam revealed abnormalitiesincluding changes in reflexes and sensory loss more pro-nounced on one side of the body than the other.”

“We were concerned right away, and Cheryl made one callto set up an MRI,” Dr. Randall said. “The beauty of a systemlike NorthShore is that we were able to get the imaging donequickly and get the results equally fast.” What the MRI exposedwas a very large tumor on Hefter’s cervical spine, which was

Joyce Hefter literally gets tears in her eyes when she talks aboutthe NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) NeurologicalInstitute team of physicians who “gave me my life back.”

crushing her spinal cord. “It’s actually remarkable she wasdoing as well as she was with that tumor.”

As soon as Dr. Randall saw the MRI he was on the phone to NorthShore Neurological Institute (NNI) neurosurgeonDean Karahalios, MD, an expert in spinal surgery. “I knew sheneeded the right neurosurgeon and she needed attention rightaway,” Dr. Randall said. Yet another benefit of the NorthShoresystem, according to both Dr. Randall and Dr. Karahalios, is thecollaboration between experts in various disciplines, as well asexpertise throughout the team including sub-specialized, highlytrained radiologists.

Dr. Karahalios looked at the MRI and agreed thatthere was no time to wasteand scheduled Hefter’s sur-gery within days. “He toldus it was a very complicatedsurgery, but he also told ushe does these extremelycomplicated procedures all the time,” Hefter said. “I liked him immediately and was confident.” Shealso had high praise forBarbara Pusateri, RN, Dr. Karahalios’ nurse who helped herevery step of the way before and after the operation.

Without surgery, the tumor would have continued to grow,and ultimately Hefter would have lost the ability to walk. Thesurgery took more than five hours as Dr. Karahalios removedthe large benign mass and then rebuilt each individual spinalsegment using small, specialized plates and screws to recreatethe correct spinal anatomy and preserve Hefter’s full range ofmobility and function.

“It’s a rather rare procedure to do this kind of spinal recon-struction, but we do a fair number of them,” Dr. Karahaliossaid. “It is a painstaking operation that takes a lot of verymeticulous work.”

“I feel wonderful now, they gave me my life back,” Heftersaid. “It’s like a miracle.” n

Richard Gigante (from left) orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Jason Koh and

musculoskeletal radiologist Dr. Martin Lazarus (facing page)

A veteran police officer and member of a regional EmergencyServices Team special tactical squad, Gigante has alwayspushed himself to the limit, training and working out to maintainpeak physical performance. He did not intend to let an accidentchange that, but six days after the training incident, Gigante washaving trouble getting out of a chair.

Referred to NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore)orthopaedic surgeon Jason L. Koh, MD, Gigante was pleasedwith Dr. Koh’s conservative approach and recommendation totry physical therapy in an effort to avoid surgery.

“We knew he had damage around the hip joint. The initialexam was consistent with a labrum (the tissue surrounding thehip socket) tear and inflammation around the hip joint,” said Dr.Koh. “We started with physical therapy and he made someimprovement initially, but then it became clear he was not goingto be able to go back to knocking down doors with his hip inthat condition.”

An expert in minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, Dr. Kohsuggested arthroscopy to repair Gigante’s damaged hip. “Mygoal is to keep patients active and pain free,” explained Dr. Koh,who is on faculty at the University of Chicago Pritzker School ofMedicine.

Thanks to significant advances in imaging around the hip as well as advanced technology and technique related toarthroscopy, Dr. Koh was confident he could successfully repair Gigante’s hip without the significant pain and protractedrecovery that follows traditional joint surgery. Less than 24 hoursafter surgery, Gigante was walking around his neighborhood andplanning his aggressive schedule to get back to full strength.“Dr. Koh is awesome. I owe everything to him; he did an unbelievable job,” Gigante said.

Using instruments about the size of a pencil, an incision ismade and a scope connected to a high-definition camera iscarefully inserted into the joint in hip arthroscopy. The surgeoncan then see inside the joint during surgery and get a dynamicand real-time picture of what’s happening, Dr. Koh explained.

Excellence in OrthopaedicsAdvanced Technique and TechnologyReturn Dedicated Cop to Full Strength

Long, thin instruments only a few millimeters in diameter are then used to shave off a precise amount of damaged tis-sue, which is then vacuumed out of the joint. “I’ve done literal-ly hundreds of these procedures,” Dr. Koh said. “While it is technically a pretty challenging operation, it is usually done in an hour or less and typically is an outpatient procedure.”

His partnership with “world-class imaging experts” atNorthShore has allowed Dr. Koh to perform these advancedprocedures and to collaborate on research aimed at identifyingand treating early hip arthritis, perhaps before symptoms evenemerge.

Martin Lazarus, MD, a NorthShore diagnostic radiologist,teams up with Dr. Koh on advancing today’s procedures andbroadening future possibilities. “We have a musculoskeletalradiology section here at NorthShore and we are experts inthis area,” said Dr. Lazarus, who is on faculty at the Universityof Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. “We do a great num-ber of these procedures and have the experience to provide avery specific road map before surgery and a detailed picture ofthe joint. The outstanding, state-of-the-art equipment hereallows us to take imaging a step further and see things youcouldn’t possibly see with less advanced equipment.”

With the technology in radiology “exploding” and the collaborative work with orthopaedic experts like Dr. Koh, there are tremendous opportunities for powerful research and clinical improvements, said Dr. Lazarus, who also servesas the team radiologist for the Chicago Bears.

From helping patients like Gigante get back to full force to returning others to an active life that involves playing withgrandchildren, Dr. Koh, who is the team physician for the Chicago Fire and has been co-medical director of theJoffrey Ballet and a consultant to the Chicago Cubs, agreeswith Dr. Lazarus.

“I’m happy we can do things that allow patients to pushtheir limits and reach their full potential,” Dr. Koh said. n

Richard Gigante suffered a seriously damaging hip injury while breakingdown a door in a SWAT team training exercise. Fortunately, the mini-mally invasive surgery to repair the destruction was far less traumatic.


Excellence in CollaborationUniversity of Chicago PartnershipHelps Teen Heal


The already petite Stevenson High School junior started losingweight last September, and initially doctors thought perhapsshe had a virus. As the situation worsened and Tori was virtually unable to eat, they began to suspect Crohn’s.

Referred to NorthShore University HealthSystem(NorthShore) affiliated pediatric gastroenterologist SuzanneNelson, MD, Tori began the battle of managing her chronic disease with a course of steroids and diet restrictions.

Her mother, Sheri Weinstein, had a good idea of what theywere facing, as Sheri’s sister also had Crohn’s. Nevertheless,mother and daughter share a very positive attitude.

“At one point I told her, ‘I bet this is what you have, but we’ll deal with it, and we’ll be fine,’” Sheri said. An acuteattack in January led Tori to the Emergency Department at Highland Park Hospital, where they initially suspected appendicitis. It looked like surgery could be the next step, so they were given a choice of transferring to NorthShoreEvanston Hospital or Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago.In Sheri’s mind there was no choice; she wanted Tori where family and friends could easily visit her.

NorthShore Evanston Hospital is now an option for pediatric surgery thanks to a recent joint effort by the Universityof Chicago Medical Center and NorthShore to create a compre-hensive pediatric and pediatric surgical services program,including inpatient, outpatient and ER consultations. On-callgeneral pediatric surgery coverage is provided by University ofChicago physicians 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, explainedSarah Woodrum, NorthShore Medical Group Vice President.“Patients now have access to the University of Chicago Medical Center’s world-class surgeons while remaining closer to home, and Tori obviously benefited from this partnership,”Woodrum said.

As soon as Tori and her parents, Sheri and Bob, metUniversity of Chicago pediatric surgeon Grace Mak, MD, theyknew they were in good hands. Dr. Mak and Dr. Nelson collab-orated with each other and the Weinsteins as they developed atreatment plan involving nutritional support, immunosuppressive

medications and antibiotics to reduce the considerable inflammation in her small and large intestine.

“Her Crohn’s was pretty extensive—throughout her stom-ach, small intestine, colon and rectum—and we wanted to treather as conservatively as possible, treating her medically at first,but knowing surgery would be the next step,” said Dr. Mak.

While Tori initially responded well to antibiotics andsteroids, her Crohn’s continued to worsen and with both doctors’ guidance, the Weinsteins decided it was time for surgery in March.

Having spent time in Evanston Hospital following her last attack, Tori was completely comfortable the morning of the surgery. “It was like seeing family. When we walked inbefore surgery every nurse we saw gave us a hug,” Sheri said.“It was definitely comforting to get that kind of reception.”

Dr. Mak performed the surgery with laparoscopic assis-tance, making one larger and several small incisions on thebelly, and thoroughly inspecting every inch of Tori’s GI tract andbeyond to ensure that she removed enough of the diseasedintestine. About five centimeters of her terminial ileum (or end of the small intestine) and three centimeters of right colon wereremoved, and then Dr. Mak sewed together the remaining,healthy intestine. One of the biggest goals in this kind of surgery, especially for a teenage patient, Dr. Mak said, is to preserve as much of the intestine as possible.

“You hope by removing the inflamed segment you removethe center of disease and what’s causing her difficulty in eat-ing,” said Dr. Mak. “And you hope you can control the rest ofthe disease with medication and without further surgery.”

“She’s really recovered beautifully from the surgery andhopefully her medication will prevent her from having a flare-up,”Dr. Nelson said. “She should be able to lead a totally normallife, to do whatever she wants.” “I am living a normal life,” Torisaid emphatically.

From Tori and Sheri’s perspective nothing could be better.“I feel very lucky that we got the doctors we got, and equallylucky with the nursing staff,” Sheri said. n

Tori Weinstein appears to be an average 16-year-old high school student—if your average student is exceptionally bright, attractive,poised for her age and successfully dealing with a rather aggressivecase of Crohn’s disease.

A chronic, autoimmune disease, psoriasis causes visible redpatches or lesions as well as layers of flaky, dead skin. Asidefrom the physical discomfort and pain of psoriasis, Maxwell, a retail manager, has experienced the embarrassment of “shedding” dry skin in public and wearing long-sleeved shirtsduring hot weather to cover the lesions on her arms. “I wantedto be free of this disease that took a hold of my life,” she said.

Maxwell’s discomfort turned to relief after being referred fouryears ago to NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore)dermatologist Kenneth B. Gordon, MD. He enrolled her in a clinical trial, of which he is a principal investigator, for a promis-ing drug to effectively manage psoriasis. Clinical trials are healthcare-based research studies that allow patients, throughtheir approved participation, access to new treatments beforethey are widely available. The medications are often new andmay hold risks for some patients. The clinical trials processdetermines the risks and benefits of a drug before it is approvedor rejected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Clinical trialsoften are a last hope for patients who have run out of options.

For Maxwell, her involvement in the drug trial at NorthShorehas kept her psoriasis under control, with no visible signs of the disease and little discomfort. The drug being researched,ustekinumab, recently gained FDA approval and can be prescribed by physicians under the name Stelara™.

NorthShore established its Clinical Research Center (CRC) in 2010 to help more patients like Maxwell while hastening effec-tive new drugs and therapies to the general public. Dr. Gordon,head of NorthShore’s Division of Dermatology and on faculty atthe University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, is theCRC’s medical director. The Center strengthens NorthShore’sflourishing clinical trials program, enabling it to expand its participation into even more studies, and it supports physicianspursuing this important area of research. NorthShore’s award-winning electronic medical record (EMR) system and its Centerfor Clinical Research Informatics will support early identificationof study participants.

Excellence in InnovationClinical Research CenterDevelops New Treatment Options

“Since the 1920s when NorthShore physician Louis Sauerdeveloped the whooping cough vaccine, NorthShore has main-tained a strong track record for supporting research into newcures and treatments for disease and illness,” said Leopold G.Selker, PhD, President, NorthShore Research Institute.NorthShore houses approximately 1,000 active clinical trialstudies, focusing on a range of conditions, including cancer,neurologic disorders and stroke, cardiovascular disorders, dermatologic issues, pediatric and gynecologic conditions aswell as major clinical trial programs in advanced imaging andmedical genetics.

“Clinical research at NorthShore makes a difference for allof our patients,” said Dr. Gordon. “Amy received a medicationthat was not available anywhere else. The drug is nowapproved and helping others. Physicians involved in clinical trials gain experience with new treatments and the latest technologies, expertise that is then passed along to patients.”

Located at NorthShore Evanston Hospital, the ClinicalResearch Center has both dedicated exam and inpatient roomsto accommodate individuals enrolled in clinical trials. MaureenKelly, RN, the Center’s research coordinator, oversees patientcare and safety while providing administrative expertise andguidance to physicians interested in pursuing clinical research.

For patient safety and the integrity of research, clinical trialsare highly regulated by the FDA, which requires that all institu-tions conducting or supporting biomedical research with humansubjects have an Institutional Review Board (IRB). NorthShoreand the University of Chicago’s IRBs have reciprocity to facilitate collaboration and provide greater access to patients.

“The research into new drugs that’s being done atNorthShore is amazing,” said Maxwell. “My life would be totally different if I had not been able to participate in this clinical trial.” n

Amy Maxwell, 35, can quickly list the treatments—and dermatologists—she has tried since being diagnosed with psoriasis at age 12.

Chicago Blackhawks center Colin Fraser (left) and Blackhawksright wing Troy Brouwer delivered toys and visited patients andfamilies at NorthShore Evanston Hospital last December. As theofficial healthcare sponsor of the Chicago Blackhawks, NorthShorehas also made a long-term commitment to work in concert withthe team on a number of community-based initiatives.

For more than 10 years, NorthShore University HealthSystem(NorthShore) patient Kathy Kocian volunteered with BearsCare, the charitable organization of the Chicago Bears. Whileworking on a Gala event in 2004 to raise funds for breast andovarian cancer research, Kocian herself was diagnosed withadvanced ovarian cancer.

The Kenilworth resident began treatment with Dr.Rodriguez, Director of NorthShore’s Division of GynecologicOncology and Matthews Family Chair of GynecologicOncology Research. Kocian’s determination to fight the disease went beyond herself. She introduced her doctor to Bears Care and backed his efforts to obtain funding for his research. “She made calls and made the connection happen,” said Dr. Rodriguez.

Kocian died in August of 2008 at age 68, four years aftershe was diagnosed. Since 2007, Dr. Rodriguez has receivedannual grants from Bears Care totaling $260,000 for his promising research to develop an oral contraceptive progestintreatment as an effective prevention strategy against ovariancancer.

Dr. Rodriguez, a clinical Associate Professor in theDepartment of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, has not forgotten hispatient Kathy Kocian. “Kathy was delightful,” he recalled. “Itbroke my heart when I learned she chaired the Bears CareGala and worked so hard to be a champion of ovarian cancerresearch only to be stricken by it herself.”

“Kathy displayed an amazing strength and attitude during her illness,” said Marge Hamm, Director of Bears Care.“She had great faith in her doctor and knew he would do hisbest to offer her the best possible outcome.”

Hamm said Bears Care knew of Dr. Rodriguez’s workbecause of his national reputation and his ability to bring hisresearch in the lab to the patient’s bedside. “We’re thrilled tosupport his research, which is so close to bringing women away to prevent gynecologic cancers.”

Dr. Rodriguez believes his research results bode well for the future. “I think we’ll be able to prevent most ovariancancers from happening at all,” he added. Clinical trials areunderway that support his discovery that taking oral contra-ceptive pills containing potent progestins for as little as 18months lowered ovarian cancer risk in study participants by 60 to 70 percent.

The progestins act to “cleanse” and dispose of genetically damaged ovarian surface cells that have begun to transform into cancer cells. Vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty

acids provide similar results so his testing is concentrating on a combination of those agents for ovarian cancer prevention.Researchers think that the agents being studied in humans and animals also could be used to prevent endometrial cancer, and possibly breast and colon cancer.

The research is so promising that NorthShore now has a Clinical Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Program in the worksfor at-risk women. Dr. Rodriguez also has secured fundingfrom the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Departmentof Defense, a reflection of his far-reaching success.

Marvin Kocian, the widower of Kathy Kocian, said hewas especially touched when Dr. Rodriguez stopped by theirhome to see Kathy in her final days. “When Kathy died, weasked our friends and family to support Dr. Rodriguez’s workinstead of sending flowers. We were able to raise $35,000 forhis research. Anything my family can do to help eliminate thisdreaded disease, a quiet killer, is what we’ll do,” said Kocian.

Besides being a beneficiary of Bears Care funding,NorthShore is also the official healthcare partner of theChicago Bears. NorthShore and the Bears also collaborateon “Real Bears Fans Wear Pink,” a community outreach initiative involving a T-shirt sale to raise money for breast cancer awareness, and support for care and assistance tobreast cancer patients and their families. n

Gustavo Rodriguez, MD, is dedicated to unlocking the mysteriesof ovarian cancer; thanks to the continued support of generousdonors, his innovative research is leading the way.

Susan Harris Memorial FundA Legacy of Caring

While being treated for breast cancer at NorthShore

University HealthSystem’s (NorthShore) Kellogg Cancer

Center, Susan Harris brought her own headset so she could

listen to her personal music tapes during surgery. She also

found great strength and relaxation in meditation. Neither of

those coping methods is unusual today, but in the mid-1990s

Harris was ahead of the times in how she dealt with cancer.

When Harris, “Susie” to family and friends, died in 1995

at age 46, her loved ones launched the Susan Harris

Memorial Fund to raise funds for supportive care, now recog-

nized as a critical component of quality cancer care. In 1998,

the family created the Psychosocial Oncology Program at

Kellogg Cancer Center. In the past 12 years, the Fund has

raised nearly $787,000—all in honor of a mother, wife, sister

and friend.

Under the Program, cancer patients and their families

receive free services at Kellogg locations at NorthShore’s

Memorial gifts honoring the love andmemory of those lost to cancer are alwaysa meaningful tribute, but the tremendousoutpouring of support in Susan Harris’honor has made a real impact for thosewho continue to battle the disease.


Evanston, Glenbrook and Highland Park Hospitals to help

them manage their emotional and practical needs. The

services include an assessment for all new patients starting

chemotherapy, ongoing support throughout treatments,

psychotherapy, referrals to community resources, crisis inter-

vention, and assistance with financial concerns, advanced

care planning and bereavement counseling and support.

“She’d be so proud,” said Marcy Simon of her sister’s

legacy, which continues to help others facing cancer 15 years

later. “I miss Susie every day, but this program is fantastic,

and it’s one good thing that allows us to continue to honor

her memory. Susie looked at her disease as a glitch. She

smiled and never complained and she would not tolerate

‘gloom and doom’ looks on any of our faces. I remember

a few weeks before she passed away she said, ‘I think I’m

scared,’ but overall she just wasn’t stressed in her cancer

journey, maybe because she knew how to use these tools

to face her fears and worries.”

As Kellogg’s patient population continues to grow—

now about 265 patients a day at all three sites—so does the

demand for the Psychosocial Oncology Program.

NorthShore psychologist Tina Gremore, Ph.D., who was

awarded the Susan Harris Memorial Fund post-doctoral

fellowship from 2008-2009, currently uses that training to

see cancer patients of all ages who need help with a variety

of support issues.

Another piece of the funding for the program comes

from The Auxiliary at Evanston & Glenbrook Hospitals,

which raises funds for the Guided Patient Support (GPS)

Program at Kellogg. The GPS Program provides cancer

patients with a nurse navigator dedicated to their total care,

and helps to support the salaries of members of the Kellogg

psychosocial team.

“We meet with patients at their first chemo appointment

to assess how they are coping and to provide information

regarding supportive resources,” explained Dr. Gremore,

Health Psychologist at the NorthShore Kellogg Cancer

Center and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral

Sciences, and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University

of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. “We talk with

patients about coping resources in general, in addition to

focusing on specific issues, such as how to talk to their

children about their cancer. We are also available for

emotional support when patients are going through

challenging times,” said Dr. Gremore.

“What I hear from patients all the time is: ‘Really, this is

a free service?’ I’m privileged to tell them the services are

funded through philanthropy, which in large part is due

to the generosity of the Susan Harris family. I’m grateful

for the opportunity we have as psychosocial providers to

offer support to people who may not seek these services

otherwise.” n

Volunteer Leadership DeliversPhilanthropic Excellence

The past president and current fundraising chair of The Auxiliary of NorthShore at Highland Park Hospital helped raise$400,000 for the Hospital’s Primary Stroke Center, $1 million for a new Ambulatory Care Center, and has hosted the SaksFifth Avenue annual charity shopping fundraiser called “Key to the Cure,” which benefits NorthShore University HealthSystem(NorthShore) Kellogg Cancer Center at NorthShore HighlandPark Hospital.

But Stone and The Auxiliary’s efforts don’t end there. In the last 18 months, Stone and Auxiliary volunteers have beenraising funds for Be Well-Lake County, a diabetes prevention,education and treatment program that benefits the underservedin Lake County. To date, the partnership with the Lake CountyHealth Department and Community Health Center has treated more than 325 patients, and provided 130 referrals to NorthShore specialists to address the complications thatoften accompany untreated diabetes, such as heart, kidney and vision conditions. Another 90 patients have enrolled in Be Well diabetes management classes that teach patients new healthy eating habits and ways to manage their disease.

“To me, I love the idea of promoting wellness and beingproactive to try to help prevent diabetes instead of being reactive,” said Stone. “With Be Well, we’ve found that patients’families benefit too, so we’re touching more lives and promotinga healthy lifestyle to hopefully prevent diabetes in future generations.”

“I like knowing I can have an impact and can help improvethe community,” said Stone. “This is where my family andfriends go to get the best medical care.”

Stone believes philanthropic support is vital to evolve as an innovative healthcare system. “If you don’t have philanthropyand volunteers, services become compromised. I like to seetangible and concrete improvements, and we have that atNorthShore Highland Park Hospital.” n

For the last seven years, Julie Stone has had ahand in making life better for the community andpatients at NorthShore Highland Park Hospital.

Financial Report

Another year of excellence is reflected in the NorthShoreUniversity HealthSystem (NorthShore) financial statements forfiscal year 2010 despite the challenging economic environment.

Record operating earnings were achieved while NorthShore also increased its contributions for free and discounted care for those in need and provided a significant increase in resources dedicated to community benefits. During 2010,NorthShore also achieved many worthy accomplishments, some of which are described throughout this annual report,including the expansion of our neurological services with the acquisition of a top-rated neurosurgery practice completedlast December.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements provide the consolidated financial position and operating results for our most recent fiscal years. Total revenue in fiscal year 2010 grew to a record $1.6 billion. Revenue growth was 4 percent and was modest relative to our historic growth, but comparably strong in the context of our local and regionaleconomy. These results were achieved across our integrated HealthSystem that now includes four acute-care Hospitalswith more than 900 licensed hospital beds; a large and growing multi-specialty physician group practice with more than650 physicians; a Home and Hospice service line; a Research Institute with more than $100 million of external researchfunding; and a Foundation actively engaged in raising friends and funds to support our mission.

Further progress was made enhancing the capabilities of the NorthShore Medical Group. The Medical Group generated more than $300 million of annual revenue with 260,000 unique patients seen this past year across a broad range ofspecialties and primary care. Along with NorthShore’s affiliated physicians there are now approximately 2,400 physicianson staff meeting the needs of our patients.

With seven years of experience with our electronic medical record systems (EMR) completed, we continue to invest inenhancing this technology, staying ahead of the curve and offering meaningful benefits to our patients—more than100,000 patients now use NorthShoreConnect to directly communicate with their physicians, schedule services andreceive results in a secure environment. These investments not only benefit our patients and physicians, but also enableefficiencies as seen this year where expenses grew at a lesser rate than revenues.

We also improved our already strong capital structure by converting one-third of outstanding debt to fixed rates of inter-est and eliminated all derivative exposures. These capital structure changes reduced some risks and eliminated othersand will benefit NorthShore for years to come. Our balance sheet is strong with $1.4 billion of cash and investments—the equivalent of 330 days cash on hand—while our borrowings are a relatively low 22 percent of total capitalization.

As was the case at this time last year, we expect next year to be another strong year for NorthShore. Our integratedHealthSystem with strong alignment between our physicians and Hospitals, supported by our industry-leading technologyand dedicated management team is well positioned to continue to thrive as we face the many challenges ahead.
