Spring 2023 3 Why is primary care so important? Having a primary care provider (PCP) is a great investment in your health. A PCP is a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant or other provider that you see for your main healthcare needs. Here are four things you should know about PCPs: 1Your PCP can help you avoid health problems. Your PCP can give you regular checkups and preventive services to help you stay healthy. These include annual wellness visits, health screenings and healthy lifestyle counseling. Some health problems don’t have symptoms at first. Your PCP can check for these problems, before they become harder to treat. “It is important to have a PCP even when you feel like you do not need one,” says Theo Zemanuel, D.O., a family medicine physician at Texas Health Huguley. “That is the ideal time to begin implementing healthy lifestyle changes. It is much more difficult to backtrack and try to implement healthy changes to your life when there is already a significant problem at hand.” 2Your PCP can help you manage your overall health. Your PCP can treat unexpected injuries and illnesses as well as chronic diseases. If you need to see other specialists to manage your health, your PCP can refer you and coordinate your care. 3PCPs build relationships that boost their patients’ wellbeing. “I enjoy seeing my patients continue to evolve and ideally march toward an improved sense of overall health and wellness,” Dr. Zemanuel says. 4Having a PCP may help you save money. People who have a PCP tend to spend less on healthcare overall. Good reasons for a yearly visit In addition to your yearly physical, your PCP can help you with: Healthy lifestyle goals, like losing excess weight. Staying safe and preventing injuries if you or your child plans to participate in sports or recreational activities. Family planning goals, if desired. Looking for a PCP?

6 TexasHealthHuguley.org Most of us have felt our heart race or skip a beat. Maybe it was due to a flutter of emotions, the strain of exercise or too much coffee. But for many people, the heart often beats too quickly, too slowly or erratically. These heart palpitations can be a sign of a condition called arrhythmia. Electrical problems The heart uses electrical pulses to keep a steady beat. Problems with this system can cause an arrhythmia—or abnormal heartbeat. In addition to palpitations, people with arrhythmias may feel: ● Tired ● Faint ● Dizzy ● Short of breath Tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. You may need a referral to a heart specialist— perhaps an electrophysiologist (EP). Hearts in good hands “An EP doctor is a cardiologist who is trained to identify and treat electrical problems of the heart,” says Barbara Willis, RN, M.S.N., a cardiovascular service line administrator at Texas Health Huguley. Texas Health Huguley has EPs who can diagnose and treat problems such as: ● Bradycardia (slow heartbeats) ● Atrial fibrillation, or AFib (irregular heartbeats) ● Tachycardia (fast heartbeats) This means you don’t have to travel to Fort Worth to receive a high level of care. “Patients with these conditions can be seen and treated here,” says Jason Cain, RN, B.S.N., M.B.A., CCRN. Jason is the Administrative Director of critical care at the hospital’s cardiac catheterization laboratory, or cath lab. That’s where experts perform procedures such as: Pacemaker insertions. Devices include the Micra pacemaker. It needs no wires (leads) because it is placed directly in the heart with a catheter. Leadless pacemakers may help reduce complications. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator insertions. These devices can prevent sudden cardiac arrest in people with life-threatening arrhythmias. Cardioversions for AFib. This procedure shocks the heart back into normal rhythm. Ablations. Heat energy is used to scar small areas of the heart. This keeps faulty electrical signals from causing irregular heartbeats.

Spring 2023 7 Lung cancer claims more lives than colorectal and breast cancers combined. Doctors at Texas Health Huguley are doing something about that. Their latest tool in the fight against lung cancer? Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. Along with screening for current or former smokers at high risk, this technology has the potential to help doctors diagnose lung cancer early, when it’s most treatable. Lung nodules (masses) can be found in a lung cancer screening or by chance with a chest x-ray or computed tomography (CT) exam. Most nodules aren’t cancer, but you may need a biopsy to know for sure. A robotic-assisted bronchoscopy is an outpatient procedure done under anesthesia. It starts with a CT scan that a computer uses to map a path through the lungs. A bronchoscope (a camera attached to a thin tube) is then passed down the throat and into the lungs. A specialist controls a robotic arm that guides the scope and biopsy tools. Compared to older methods, a robotic-assisted bronchoscopy: ● Can perform a biopsy with greater precision ● Can reach small nodules in areas of the lungs that couldn’t be reached before “This technology allows us to hunt and diagnose nodules long before they’re symptomatic,” says pulmonologist Jason Seiden, M.D. On-site pathologists provide immediate biopsy results. If cancer is found, patients are referred to a cancer navigator for coordination of treatment and support. “Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy is just one example of our commitment to better cancer outcomes for our community,” Dr. Seiden says. Comprehensive cancer care Visit TexasHealthHuguley.org/Cancer to learn more about our cancer care team and services. Putting people first Our level of dedication to our patients shows in the hospital’s 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which focuses on quality, safety and patient experience. And then there are the five-star moments our team members create for patients every day. “Five-star moments are when we connect with patients, not as patients, but as people,” says Ronny Ford, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Texas Health Huguley. By “looking past the patient label,” Dr. Ford says, our team members go above and beyond to meet our patients’ needs with uncommon kindness. It’s the little things, like getting to know our patients and taking the time to listen, that help them feel special and cared for. “Five-star moments allow us to draw closer to our patients and make them feel more whole, understood, valued, joyful, grateful and loved,” Dr. Ford says.
