A Message for Our Readers
4 Surgical Suite Expansion
6 Cardiac Interventional Center
Designation Awarded
Spring is a season for new
beginnings, and a time for
growth, something Baltimore
Washington Medical Center
has come to know very well.
Our growth is focused on
bringing you the latest
technology and modern
facilities to complement our
high quality care.
One example of our
commitment to quality is our
recent designation as a Cardiac
Interventional Center by the
Maryland Institute for
Emergency Management Services Systems (MIEMSS). This
designation means that our cardiac program was evaluated by
MIEMSS and determined to be of the highest quality. Read about the
survey process, results and what it means for you on page six.
Our focus on providing cutting-edge technology has led to the
addition of a second linear accelerator, which is currently being
installed in our Tate Cancer Center. This state-of-the-art machine will
provide highly advanced radiation oncology treatments. We are also
building a brand new operating suite, which will be completed this
fall. The expansion will add three new operating rooms with the latest
technology to allow us to perform minimally invasive and highly
complex surgical cases. These additions are bringing new science to
our campus to enhance the care of our patients and ensure a speedy
recovery.
If you or a loved one ever needs our specialized care, we will be here
to serve you with innovative technology, modern facilities,
experienced staff and of course, care and compassion.

What Are Our
Patients Saying?
At Baltimore Washington Medical Center, our mission is to provide the highest quality health
care services to the communities we serve. We come to work with a shared goal to make a positive
difference in your life and the lives of your family, friends and loved ones. Read what our patients are
saying about the care they received at BWMC and the positive impact our physicians, nurses and staff
have had on their lives.
“
Never would I
imagine that I would
leave a hospital feeling
as though I’d been in a
four-star hotel. Each and
every staff member whom I
encountered, from checking
in at the front desk, to
ambulatory surgery, through
the young lady who pushed
my wheelchair out during
discharge, treated me with the
utmost respect
and kindness.

The impeccable care
I received during
my stay at BWMC
made such a major surgery
so easy for me. My intake
nurse calmed my nerves with
her great sense of humor and
my doctor and his surgical
staff were amazing. My room
was beautiful and clean and
my nurses and patient
caregivers bent over
backwards for me.

The doctors and staff in
the emergency department
and the critical care unit
couldn’t have made me feel more

time. The care I received during
my stay was certainly a level of
care that far exceeded anyone’s
expectations of being
a hospital patient.

Surgical
Suite
Expansion
Enables
More Efficient,
Sophisticated Procedures
Surgery can be a stressful time for both patients
and their families. But thanks to a host of new
upgrades — from cutting-edge surgical
technologies to more comfortable waiting rooms
— Baltimore Washington Medical Center is making
the experience as pleasant as it can possibly be.
In one of its most extensive efforts
to-date, a construction project is
well under way that will add
29,255 square feet to the surgical
suite when completed in
September. Patients will experience
the benefits of the new space when
portions of it open this spring.
Beyond the sheer size of the new
suite, it’s what the space contains
that will truly make a difference.
Familiar Places and Faces
Patients arriving for surgery will
now check in to one of 33 new
prep and recovery rooms. These
4
rooms are where surgeons greet the
patient and his or her family, a
nurse runs presurgical tests and an
anesthesiologist sets up IV lines.
After surgery, the patient returns to
the same room for recovery, where
he or she meets the same nurse as
before.
“Previously, patients were
prepared for surgery in one area
and then sent to a separate
recovery room afterward with
completely different staff,” says Sue
Ward, vice president at BWMC.
“With these new rooms, patients
will feel more at ease when coming
back to a familiar place and seeing
a familiar face.” Many of the
rooms have windows so patients
can enjoy the sunshine or night
sky while waiting for or recovering
from a procedure.
State-of-the-Art Surgical Suites
The hospital’s three new operating
rooms are designed to
accommodate the most state-ofthe-art surgical technologies
available. “Because of the new
equipment, surgeons will be able
to perform procedures they weren’t
able to do before, such as
removing tumors in the abdomen
with minimally invasive
techniques,” says Marshall
Benjamin, MD, chief of surgery at
BWMC.
Thanks to a sophisticated spinal
navigation system, surgeons can
place hardware into a patient’s
spine with greater accuracy,
expansion update

reducing the risk that they will
need additional surgeries. Each
new room is equipped with four
52-inch high-definition monitors,
enabling the operating team to
view the same area as the surgeon
for greater efficiency.
“The monitors, as well as wireless
microphones, will also allow the
surgeons to communicate with the
pathology department, which is in
another part of the hospital,
without leaving the operating
room,” Dr. Benjamin says. “If the
surgeon is doing a cancer operation,
for example, he or she can discuss
the results of a tumor biopsy and
look at the same slide right there in
real-time with the pathologist while
still in the operating room.”
Serene Waiting Room
The new waiting room, which
opens in September, will double in
size and is divided into spaces
where family members can either

expansion is the difference it will
make for patients and their
families,” Dr. Benjamin says.

BWMC Designated A
Cardiac Interventional Center
Baltimore Washington
Medical Center is proud to
announce that it recently received
designation as a Cardiac
Interventional Center (CIC) by
the Maryland Institute for
Emergency Medical Services
Systems (MIEMSS).
“Being designated as a CIC
means that MIEMSS found our
cardiac interventional program to
be of the highest quality and will
allow ambulances to continue to
bring cardiac patients to BWMC
for treatment,” says Jorge Ramirez,
MD, chair of the departments of
medicine and cardiology at
BWMC.
To receive designation, hospitals’
interventional cardiac programs

were thoroughly evaluated and
received a site visit by MIEMSS
staff. During the review, surveyors
cited many strengths of BWMC’s
program including:
•• Dedicated, experienced staff
•• Culture of quality patientcentric care
•• Commitment by leadership with
a team approach
•• Good relationship with
emergency medical services
•• Received the Mission Lifeline
Bronze Performance
Achievement Award
“This designation is validation that
our team-focused interventional
program provides high quality
care,” says Samuel Yoon, MD,
medical director of BWMC’s
cardiac catheterization laboratory.
“We have a strong team of
physicians and staff who are
dedicated to the program and truly
care for their patients. This
designation proves that our efforts
in making this program one of the
best are successful.”
The CIC designation, which is
good for three years, and the recent
addition of a new cardiac
catheterization laboratory with
advanced technology allows
BWMC to offer innovative, high
quality cardiac services to the
community.

BWMC Opens
Anticoagulation Clinic
Baltimore Washington Medical
Center recently opened an
outpatient anticoagulation clinic to
provide anticoagulation medication
management, to manage and
monitor warfarin (Coumadin®), a
blood thinner, to ensure safe use
of the drug and to prevent
unwanted side effects. Warfarin
helps to control the body’s ability
to form blood clots and is
prescribed to prevent and treat
harmful clots that can form in
parts of the body like the leg, lung
or brain.
The outpatient clinic is staffed
by pharmacy clinicians who have
extensive experience in dosing
anticoagulation therapy. Our highly
trained team monitors lab results
and adjusts your dosage if
necessary. They communicate
your results to both you and your
physician and contact your doctor,
dentist and other health care
providers regarding any warfarin-

Center on BWMC’s campus and is open

related issues you may have. The
team also spends time reviewing
your current prescription
medications, over-the-counter
medications and supplements to
check for possible drug
interactions with warfarin.
New Treatment Option for Chronic Pain Sufferers

chronic pain that affects your quality of life? If so, relief
may be just around the corner. Severn Anesthesia and
Interventional Pain Medicine, located on Baltimore
Washington Medical Center’s campus, provides

individualized care. Led by Akara Forsythe, MD, and
Elron Wallace, MD, the pain management clinic is staffed
by a team of board-certified anesthesiologists and
advanced pain medicine physicians who work to reduce

stays, decreased quality of life and depression in
patients,” says Emmanuel Osuji, MD, chair of BWMC’s
department of anesthesiology. “In a calm and relaxed
setting, we have many options to treat a wide variety of
medical issues that may cause debilitating pain in some
individuals.”
With advanced pain medicine physicians, patients can
find new, innovative ways to reduce their pain and
improve their quality of life. Whether you are battling

The relationship between
you and your physician can make a
big difference in your overall health.
When you and your doctor share
the same priorities for managing
your health, you’re more likely to
develop a lasting relationship with
a doctor you can trust.
Ask the Right Questions
When choosing a primary care
physician, it’s important to find a
practice or a doctor whose services,
availability and interpersonal
approach best fit the needs of you
and your family. Are you looking
for a doctor who is near your home,
is board-certified or has extended
business hours? Do you prefer a
doctor who treats a wide variety
of conditions, including those
sometimes treated by specialists?
Convenient Care,
Same-Day Appointments
To provide your family with
accessible and convenient care,
Bahador Momeni, MD, MBA,
Eugenia Robertson, MD, and
Jonathan McCoy, MD, of Arundel
Physicians Associates, provide
primary care in both Millersville
and Hanover. Arundel Physicians
Associates offers same-day
appointments, including Saturdays
and evening hours, and offers a
wide range of medical services
for youths and adults, such as
echocardiograms, stress testing
and skin procedures.
“The best part about being a
primary care physician is being
able to build lasting one-on-one
relationships with my patients and
serving as their ‘jack of all trades,’”
says Dr. Robertson.
Electronic Health Record
Enhances Communication
To enhance your overall wellness
and provide greater access to your
doctors, Arundel Physicians
Associates uses an electronic
medical records system, Portfolio,
to keep track of your medical
history, note changes in your health
and send prescriptions straight to
your pharmacy. Patients also have
access to log in to the electronic
system, known as My Portfolio, so
they can see their records, view lab
results and even e-mail their doctors.
“Portfolio enables us to easily and
quickly communicate with our
patients, allowing us to track their
progress, answer questions, guide
their recovery and stay on top
of their preventive health,” says
Dr. Momeni.
When You Find the Right Doctor
After selecting a primary care
physician, it is important to get
regular checkups in addition to sick
visits. A yearly physical or consult
with a doctor allows patients to
develop a relationship with their
physician and provide guidance for
health maintenance and preventive
measures, like mammograms, blood
work and cancer screenings.
“As primary care physicians, we
know every patient is different, so
providing the personal, individualized
care from year to year is what makes
our job exciting and rewarding,”
says Dr. McCoy.
To schedule an appointment, call the Millersville office at 410-553-8090 or the Hanover office at 410-553-8265.

Cooling Down
Your Spring Fever
After spending the winter
days avoiding the cold and staying
indoors, your body probably has
some adjusting to do. As the
seasons change and the warm
weather teases, it’s easy to be met
with a feeling of restlessness, a
desire to break away and a nervous
excitement. Here are some ways to
cool down your spring fever and
welcome the new season in a
relaxed state of mind.
•• Bring some of the outdoors in by
picking fresh flowers or placing
indoor plants throughout your
house. Use scented candles and
fragrant hand soap to calm your
nerves and accent your
home with earthy scents.
FREE Water Bottle! When you're going for a walk
or playing outside this spring, be sure to bring your
BWMC collapsible water bottle! Request yours
today by calling 410-787-4367 or e-mailing
[email protected]. Supplies are
limited, so call today!
•• Dig through old photographs
and frame your favorite photo
from a summer vacation.
Revisiting a happy memory will
fill you with warmth.
•• Take advantage of the warmer
days and the longer sunlight by
going for a walk or playing
outside to get a vitamin D boost.
Open your windows more often
for a blast of fresh air.
•• Add splashes of bright colors to
your home with inexpensive items
like throw pillows, placemats and
dish towels. The sunny hues will
remind you of summer.
•• Visit a local farmers’ market — not
only will you get out of the house,
but you’ll be eating fresh, healthy
foods that will supply your body
with essential vitamins and help
kick the comfort food craving.
Tate Cancer Center Expands with Latest Technology
This fall, cancer patients at the Tate Cancer Center who need radiation
therapy will have access to a new, state-of-the-art linear accelerator. The
new Varian Medical Systems’ Trilogy® technology will complement the
center’s current technology — the Calypso® 4D Localization System™ (or
GPS for the Body®) and the da Vinci® S HD™ robotic surgery system.
“Adding this highly advanced equipment to our already cutting-edge
technology is exciting,” says radiation oncologist Mitch Oh, MD. “Our
patients will benefit greatly. They can stay in the comfort of their community and have access to some of the best
technology and an experienced team of specialists.”
A linear accelerator is used to administer radiation therapy to treat many types of cancer. The machine offers more
options for image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), which targets
tumors with a high dose of radiation with minimal effects to the surrounding healthy tissue. SBRT is frequently used for
cancers that cannot be treated with surgery, such as some early-stage lung cancers.
“The new machine’s technology will also improve precision of radiation delivery and shorten daily treatment time,”
explains radiation oncologist Wendla Citron, MD.
The Tate Cancer Center, along with its affiliation with the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum
Cancer Center, offers the resources of a renowned academic medical institution in a community hospital setting. The
center offers comprehensive, coordinated care through a multidisciplinary team approach in which teams of specialists
consult on each patient’s case and develop personalized treatment plans.
The Tate Cancer Center is open and operating on a normal schedule during construction. For your convenience, free
valet parking is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. To reach the center, call 410-553-8100.

Keeping Your Head
in the Game
The arrival of spring marks
the beginning of another outdoor
sports season. As athletes of all ages
participate in their sport of choice,
they are also exposed to several
risks, one being injury. More
athletes on the playing field means
a greater possibility of one
experiencing a sports-related
injury, such as a concussion.
A concussion is an injury to the
brain that can cause a variety of
symptoms, including memory loss,
severe headaches and lack of ability
to focus or concentrate. It is
usually caused by a blow to the
head and most often does not
involve losing consciousness.
Sports concussions can happen
during drills, practices and games.
Amiel W.
Bethel, MD
And, it is important to remember
that injuries that occur during
practice can be just as serious as
those that occur during competition.
“The best way to avoid the
potentially serious complications
that come with sports-related
concussions is to prevent them
altogether,” says Baltimore
Washington Medical Center
Neurosurgeon Amiel W. Bethel,
MD. “That is why knowing proper
technique such as tackling in
football is so important, especially
for younger athletes.”
An estimated 10 percent of all
athletes participating in contact
sports suffer a concussion each
season. Most athletes make a full
recovery after a concussion and can
return to play after being cleared
by their physician. However,
repeated concussions can cause
permanent damage, and after
several concussions, doctors may
suggest choosing a different sport.
While it is impossible to prevent
an athlete from experiencing a
concussion, wearing the proper
equipment is essential.
“One of the most important
things to remember is to wear the
proper equipment, especially
headgear,” says Dr. Bethel. “This is
particularly important if you are
participating in contact sports like
football, lacrosse or even baseball.
Recent research has led to better
development of athletic equipment,
which has led to better protection
for participants. We want athletes
to have fun while participating in
their favorite sports, but safety is
always the top priority.”

Dr. Bethel speak to your team about
preventing concussions, call
