nd of summer got you down? Laugh
your way back up!
There is definitely some truth to
the proverb, “laughter is the best medicine.” Laughter can boost the immune system,
improve one’s mood and increase energy levels. In
addition, laughter is great for the heart because it
can lower blood pressure. With heart disease being
the No. 1 cause of death in women, it’s important
to optimize our cardiac health. Therefore, we need
laughter in addition to proper nutrition and
exercise.
Our annual women’s event: “Live Well, Laugh
Often,” includes a special performance by comedian Michele Balan on October 25, at 5:30 p.m., at
the Preakness Hills Country Club in Wayne.
Michele was one of the finalists on NBC’s “Last
Comic Standing,” and she was “The Last Woman
Comic Standing.” She has appeared on the Joy
Behar Show, Byron Allen’s “Comics Unleashed”
and the “Outlaugh Festival” on MTV’s Logo
network. Michele was voted one of the “Top 10
Comics” by Backstage magazine.
I hope you will be joining us for this special
event, which includes a full-course dinner and
boutique tables for holiday gift shopping. In the
meantime, keep laughing and living life to the
fullest.

From the President’s Desk
hilton Hospital is a community hospital in the purest sense,
but it is so much more. We offer all the benefits of larger
hospitals with a wide range of award-winning services,
highly acclaimed physicians, conveniently-located outpatient centers and physician practices, as well as updated facilities and
advanced diagnostic equipment.
Our commitment to providing you with the highest quality health
care is evident in the awards we’ve recently achieved:
We’ve once again been designated a Primary Stroke Center by The
Joint Commission. This means our highly skilled “Brain Attack Team”
is ready 24 hours a day, seven days a week to save lives. Minutes matter
when it comes to stroke, so getting immediate care can make all the
difference.
Chilton is also ranked among the top 10 hospitals in New Jersey
for orthopedic services and joint replacement surgery by HealthGrades,
another testament to the expert nurses and doctors in our new Total
Joint Center.
Most recently, our Breast Center was designated a Breast Imaging
Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
This prestigious honor is awarded to breast imaging centers that achieve
excellence by seeking and earning accreditation in all of the ACR’s voluntary breast-imaging accreditation programs. Moreover, our imaging
services — CT, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Oncology and
Ultrasound — have also earned full accreditation by the ACR. These
awards symbolize the industry's highest standards and the outstanding
reputation of Chilton’s Imaging program.
With so many specialties and exceptional health care services so
close to home, you can feel confident the best care is available to you
and your family right in your own backyard. Thank you for choosing
Chilton.

TRAUMA to TRIUMPH
A Patient’s Remarkable Road to Recovery
I
t’s not every day that Elmo pays a visit to Chilton.
Then again, it’s not every day that one of our
patients experiences a truly remarkable recovery.
As far as we’re concerned, special
circumstances sometimes require a few special
accommodations, like rolling out the red carpet
for a favorite furry friend. The Chilton family was
overjoyed to do just that, and more, for Christina
Parente of Oak Ridge, who overcame tremendous
challenges to survive a life-threatening illness.
Parente’s traumatic ordeal began in April
2011, when she was rushed to Chilton’s Emergency Department
after contracting a lung infection. What she thought was the flu
turned out to be a severe case of pneumonia, putting her in critical condition and inducing a coma. Within hours Parente was
admitted to Chilton’s Intensive Care Unit, where she was
promptly evaluated by Dr. Timothy O’Donnell, who specializes
in pulmonary disease medicine and critical care.
While pneumonia is quite common, Dr. O’Donnell
explains that it can be dangerous for individuals with certain risk
factors, such as the elderly and those with weakened immune
systems. Sometimes, as in Parente’s case, the infection can strike
relatively healthy individuals and lead to serious complications,
such as respiratory distress, infection, sepsis, even organ failure.
“Chrissy faced all of those things, requiring surgery, respiratory
support and other aggressive treatments, as well as the collaboration and expertise of many physicians,” says Dr. O'Donnell.
Parente’s medical team at Chilton also included Dr. Richard
Krieger (Infectious Diseases), Dr. Hemogenes L. Ciocon
(Thoracic Cardiovasular Surgery) and Dr. Larisa K. Gershman
(Internal Medicine) along with the critical care nurses who
provided around-the-clock care.
“The doctors and nurses were just amazing and never gave
up hope,” asserts Carol-Lynn Parente, Chrissy’s sister. “They
became our family, especially the nurses, who not only provided
excellent care to Chrissy but also were nurturing and compassionate to us during this scary time.”
Parente’s loved ones remained at her side throughout her
extended stay, spending 12 to 14 hours at the hospital every day,
enduring setback after setback, until she finally emerged from her
coma and began to heal.
Although Parente doesn’t remember much about her
treatment, she vividly recalls the warmth and kindness she
received when she awoke. “Everyone was so happy to see me,”
One happy — and very grateful — family. Chrissy Parente with her father
Rudy Parente and sister Carol-Lynn Parente.
she says. “My family introduced me to the nurses, who were
very comforting, supportive, patient… and always there for me.”
Parente even received a bedside visit from Elmo, which
was arranged by her sister, who works at Sesame Street.
“Chrissy was a very sick young lady when she arrived,”
recalls Dr. O'Donnell. “But despite all the odds against her, she
survived and has gone on to do quite well.” Thanks to the
extraordinary efforts of the entire Chilton team, Parente is enjoying a new lease on life — and doesn’t take a single day for
granted — as she continues her journey toward a full recovery.
In fact, she’s even considering a new career in health care and
hopes to work at Chilton some day!
“I would love the opportunity to give back,” she says,
expressing a sincere desire to help others heal and persevere
through challenging times.
While she’s grateful to put the experience behind her,
Parente and her family visit the hospital frequently, forever
bonded to the caregivers with whom they shared birthdays,
holidays, tears and ultimately triumph. In their eyes, Chilton
is far more than a community hospital.
“It kind of feels like my home
away from home,” says Parente.
“Everyone is so excited when
Chrissy comes back… because she’s
their miracle,” her sister adds. “I don’t
think Chrissy could have gotten better
Scan to see Chrissy’s full story
care anywhere else than at Chilton.”

A good night’s sleep may be worth more than you think
Researchers affirm that sufficient, restful sleep is vital to one's health, safety and well-being, warding off illness while also
affecting everything from mood and energy level to job performance and personal relationships. According to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sleep deprivation can trigger the onset of diabetes, heart disease, depression,
obesity and other serious conditions. If you are short on sleep, or feeling tired during the day no matter how long you
spend in bed at night, you could be among the millions of Americans who suffer from a chronic sleep disorder.
The Sleep Health Institute at Chilton Hospital, which is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine,
can help. Our Free Sleep Health Screenings include a personalized visit with a Chilton sleep professional who will assess
your risk for a sleep disorder and determine if further evaluations are needed. For more information or to register, call

Providing Personalized Care
for Breast Health
T
he Breast Center at Chilton Hospital recently
completed a $1.6 million makeover, designed
for a more comfortable experience for more
than 15,000 women who visit the center.
However, the mere mention of any possibility
of breast cancer can be quite a traumatic
experience.
Jennifer Orsillo, a 15-year veteran of the
Breast Center, serves as a business partner. She
offers personalized care at a level not found in
other medical settings. Jennifer is the contact person for patients, whether they are Chilton patients
or come from an outside physician referral.
“I first contact the patient’s doctor to inform
him or her that we recommend a biopsy,” Jennifer Jennifer Orsillo
explained. “Then I’m there for the patient when
she gets home and needs someone to talk to.
Patients can call me any time with questions about the procedure
or insurance. Many women have households to run and are
under a lot of pressure to begin with, so I help take the burden
off of them.”
Jennifer is dedicated to patient care even in times of
emergency. On one occasion, she came in on a Saturday during a
snowstorm just to meet with an anxious patient and answer
questions for her.
According to Lead Mammography Technologist Lynn Case,
Jennifer “goes above and beyond her duties” to help her patients.
“She does whatever it takes to help put them at ease,” she said.
“She is very knowledgeable about every type of biopsy we
perform so she can answer any questions. Jenn is the perfect
combination of kindness, knowledge and efficiency. We are very
fortunate to have her.”
Although Jennifer’s role of business partner is vital to
enhancing the patient experience, she humbly declines full credit.
“What I do at the Breast Center is a small portion of what everybody does here, but we all have the same goal: We are here for
our patients,” she said. “We care and we want to make sure that
everyone is taken care of. That’s why I find this is a very rewarding career.”
Patients can call Jennifer directly at 973-831-5287 for any
questions. To learn more about Chilton’s Breast Cancer, please
visit www.chiltonhealth.org/ breast-center.
Nutrition to Help Avoid Breast Cancer
October is National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the
second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Although there is
no “magic bullet” prevention or cure, a healthier diet may help reduce the
risk of getting the disease. Chilton Hospital’s Clinical Nutrition Manager
Leslie Killeen, MS, RD, CDE, offers the following nutrition tips:
Which vegetables are the most beneficial for avoiding breast cancer?
“The best kinds of vegetables are ‘cruciferous.’ They contain phytochemicals,
which may have a protective effect against some types of cancer, including
breast cancer. Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cabbage, turnip,
Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kohlrabi, bok choy, watercress, collards, kale,
mustard greens and rutabaga.”
What other foods are beneficial?
“Choose plant-based food, such as whole-grain breads and cereals, nuts,
seeds, brown rice, whole wheat pasta and beans. These foods are high in
fiber, which speeds the passage of food through the body. In turn, cells have
less exposure to potentially carcinogenic waste. Fiber also helps remove
excess estrogen from the digestive tract. Aim for 25 grams of fiber per day.”
Chilton Hospital’s Breast Center has recently been designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology (ACR). By awarding facilities
the status of a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, the ACR recognizes breast imaging centers that have earned accreditation in mammography, stereotactic breast
biopsy, and breast ultrasound (including ultrasound-guided breast biopsy).

TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT:
Less Pain, More Mobility
otal knee replacement (TKR) has come a
long way. In its early years, patients endured
numerous days of recovery while confined to
a bed, hooked up to many machines and on
various pain medications.
Today, recovery from TKR is much
easier and less painful. A patient at Chilton Hospital is expected
to begin physical therapy the next day and return home in three
days. How is this possible? The solution is an advanced anesthesia
method called a continuous femoral nerve block, which prevents
pain signals from being transmitted from the thigh and knee to
the brain. It’s similar to a dentist numbing an area of the mouth
for a filling.
Another advancement in TKR is the use of ultrasound technology to help physicians locate the femoral nerve for blocking
much easier, faster and safer than ever before. “Once a femoral
nerve block catheter is placed via ultrasound, a small, portable
pump will deliver continuous local anesthesia before and after
surgery, so pain is always minimized,” explained Chilton
Anesthesiologist Andrew Topf, MD. “We leave the pump and
catheter in for two days, and give the patient one pain relief pill
every couple of hours, just in case. This is a huge improvement in
patient comfort over the traditional method of intravenous
morphine and limited mobility.”
The femoral nerve block and portable pump provide a
smoother transition to physical therapy, according to Dr. Topf.
“In the past, both legs had to be numbed and physical therapy
T
could be quite painful,” he explained. “Now, only one leg is
numbed and the pump is so unnoticeable that it doesn’t impede
rehabilitation.”
Another way that Chilton is increasing comfort for TKR
patients is through personalized care. “I contact patients the night
before surgery to explain the anesthesia process so they know
what to expect and are familiar with me and anyone else managing their care,” Dr. Topf assured. “I coordinate with the nurse,
physical therapist, social worker and surgeon so that the patient’s
post-operative course is mapped out ahead of time. After the
surgery, I see the patient every day to check on their progress.
Nurses can contact me any time of day or night for questions the
patient has.”
Some signs that you may need TKR include knee pain that:
• Keeps you awake at night
• Limits every day activities such as climbing stairs
• Makes you avoid activities you love, such as walking
