| CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Our Commitment to Community Health Compassion is, and has always been, the heart of the "Deborah" mission. Deborah Heart and Lung Center, supported by the work of the Deborah Hospital Foundation, embraces the Foundation's motto: "There is no price on life." For close to 100 years, Deborah Heart and Lung Center has cared for New Jersey residents in need despite their financial status. Deborah believes that no one should make a medical decision based on his/her/their personal financial situation. Deborah is the only hospital in the nation that treats both adults and children, and has never balance-billed a patient for care, serving as a true safety net for cardiac, vascular and pulmonary services in New Jersey. Deborah is also active in the local community and service areas, providing specialty-focused community-based health and wellness programs. Our Mission To provide the necessary facilities, equipment, medical staff and financial resources required to deliver the highest quality inpatient and outpatient services for the diagnosis and treatment of heart, lung and vascular disease within Deborah Heart and Lung Center's service area. The Center is committed to patient safety and privacy, and embraces and advocates for initiatives that enable the Center to attain those goals. The Center provides treatment to patients without distinction as to race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, civil union status, domestic partnership status, pregnancy or breastfeeding, sex, gender identity or expression, affectional or sexual orientation, disability, liability for service in the Armed Forces of the United States or nationality of such person. Inpatient and outpatient services are provided on a timely basis and consistent with cost-effectiveness and financial responsibility. Our Vision Deborah Heart and Lung Center will lead the region as the premier provider of high quality innovative, compassionate and patient-focused heart, lung and vascular care, as a respected educator of the next generation of specialists, and as a thought leader in advanced clinical research. Our Story The Deborah story is an extraordinary one. Deborah was first incorporated in 1923 as the Deborah Jewish Consumptive Relief Society to build a tuberculosis (TB) sanatorium. According to history, the therapeutic air of the pine barrens of rural Burlington County was key to patient recovery. Thousands of TB patients were medically treated and compassionately cared for by a heroic team of Deborah physicians and caregivers. When the development of antibiotic medications led to the eradication of TB, Deborah shifted its focus to other chest diseases, embracing the emerging specialty of cardiac disease prevention and treatment. The focus on cardiac diseases, combined with Deborah's established expertise in lung diseases, transformed Deborah into New Jersey's only cardiac and pulmonary specialty hospital, where New Jersey's first open-heart surgeries were performed in the 1950s. Today, Deborah offers leading-edge surgical techniques and non-surgical alternatives to diagnose and treat cardiac, vascular and pulmonary diseases in adults, and congenital and acquired heart defects in adults and children. Deborah is recognized as a leader in patient care, patient satisfaction, quality outcomes and innovative healing. New advances in cardiac, pulmonary, and vascular care are often available first at Deborah. Deborah's clinical research department - combined with our well-respected teaching program - helps to bring new treatments, technologies and innovations to the Center. This infusion of innovative ideas and professional talent shapes the medical landscape of the State, strengthening Deborah's reputation as an important medical provider. IRS status Deborah is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Deborah operates within the following criteria outlined in IRS revenue ruling 69-545: 1. Deborah provides medically necessary healthcare services to all patients regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients. 2. As a specialty hospital, Deborah is not eligible to operate an emergency room. To meet the community's need for emergency care, Deborah leases space in Deborah's main hospital building to a hospital system licensed to operate a satellite emergency department. In addition, as a regional referral center and specialty hospital, Deborah receives transfers from other hospitals' emergency departments, as well as admissions from our own outpatient clinics and direct admissions from referring physicians. 3. Deborah's Board of Trustees, comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community, provide oversight of, and leadership to, Deborah's executive team. 4. Surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care programs and activities in the community. The use and control of Deborah is for the benefit of the public. No part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual, nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. Charity Care Deborah provides medically necessary healthcare to patients who meet criteria under Deborah's charity care policy, as well as those who are uninsured, but do not meet charity care requirements. Deborah maintains records to identify and monitor the charity care and community service it provides. Consistent with its mission and values, Deborah does not bill patients for amounts that remain unpaid (including copayments and deductibles) after Deborah bills federal, State and commercial insurance programs. Deborah also sponsors programs and provides other patient services that directly benefit the surrounding community. Such programs include services to needy populations, community service programs and services for school-aged children, veterans, active duty military and dependents, first responders, and the elderly. Deborah also actively sponsors programs on health education and wellness.

Clinical Research Over 30 clinical research trials are underway at Deborah, providing an opportunity for patients to receive innovative treatments at Deborah once successful trials receive fda approval. Deborah's research physicians are widely published in leading medical journals, with editorial appointments on many medical publications. Deborah's Programs and Services Deborah seeks to enhance the healthcare services and experiences of its patients and their families. Deborah has a strong set of organizational values creating a driving force behind the Center's excellence. The Deborah team looks for continuous improvement based on patient, staff and community feedback, and clinical data. Achieving, and then maintaining, a level of excellence in healthcare services is Deborah's commitment. Deborah does this through the following services, among others: 1. Adult cardiology services Adult congenital heart disease - Deborah's unique adult congenital heart disease program combines the expertise of physicians trained in adult and pediatric cardiovascular medicine, with tailored management of the disease. Cardiac catheterizations - catheterizations are the most widely performed procedure at deborah. The center has four full service cardiac catherization and endovascular catherization labs that are fully equipped with the latest technology to allow care teams to visualize and access vessels with unprecedented flexibility and precision. Clinical cardiology - deborah's clinical cardiology service provides consultations for patients with acute and chronic heart diseases. The scope of care includes congenital and acquired heart diseases, coronary artery disease, rheumatic heart disease, other forms of valvular and myocardial disease, cardiomyopathy and hypertensive heart disease, disorders of the coronary and non-coronary circulation systems, myocardial function, cardiac conduction system and cardiac valves. 2. Advanced heart failure Deborah provides comprehensive care to patients with all forms of heart failure, excluding heart transplant. Deborah's comprehensive team approach allows for the treatment of patients with even the most advanced forms of heart failure. Since so few patients with heart failure can be offered heart transplantation, the specialists at deborah strive to maximize heart performance and minimize risk, using medications and specialized implanted devices. Cardiomems - an integrated team consisting of interventional, electrophysiology and heart failure physicians is able to offer the cardiomems implant. This device allows patients with advanced heart failure to return home with monitoring provided once a day through a brief computerized test with the results sent to deborah so the team can monitor, in real-time, the patient's status and immediately address the patient's needs, avoiding an emergency re-hospitalization. Left ventricular assist device (lvad) shared services - deborah has partnered with a transplant hospital to support its lvad program, designed to allow patients to receive left ventricular assist devices as either a bridge to transplant or as destination therapy for qualifying patients. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ecmo), also known as extracorporeal life support, -- is an extracorporeal technique of providing prolonged cardiac and respiratory support to persons whose heart and lungs are unable to provide adequate gas exchange or perfusion to sustain life for long-term support. 3. Ambulatory care services area Ambulatory care patients seen at deborah receive quality care in the center's renovated ambulatory care service area. The ambulatory care exam area contains spacious, modern exam rooms, all with cardiac monitors and a triage room for urgent situations. 4. The balance center at deborah The balance center at deborah is designed to diagnose and treat dizziness and balance issues. These two symptoms alone, especially in the elderly population, are the most common causes of injuries and hospitalization. |
| CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | 5. The bariatric program The bariatric program at deborah offers an option for those struggling with weight-associated health problems. In partnership with bariatric surgeons from garden state bariatric center, deborah offers an on-site comprehensive weight-management program including gastric bypass, gastric sleeve and/or gastric banding surgical procedures, as part of an overall program focusing on nutrition, healthy living and exercise. 6. Cardiothoracic surgery Adult congenital heart surgery - the cardiac surgery service at deborah has performed hundreds of surgeries on adult patients with congenital heart anomalies. Aortic surgery - all aspects of aortic surgery are performed at Deborah, including repair of aneurysms of the ascending, descending and abdominal aorta, correction of aortic dissection, replacement of the aortic root and replacement of the aortic arch. Beating heart bypass surgery - beating heart bypass surgery is performed while the heart is still beating. With "off-pump" technology, heart and lungs continue to function during the surgery, reducing the risk of stroke, lung and kidney dysfunction and memory loss. Coronary artery surgery - coronary artery surgery is performed at deborah using the latest techniques to perform either an arterial bypass or mixed arterial and reversed saphenous vein grafting as indicated. Deborah's cardiac surgery team uses advanced techniques of myocardial protection, surgical technique, extracorporeal perfusion, anesthetic management, blood conservation and perioperative care. Direct coronary artery bypass - cardiac surgeons perform minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (midcab) surgery. This procedure allows coronary revascularization in select cases with a limited sternotomy incision and without the use of the heart-lung machine. Endoscopic radial artery/saphenous vein harvesting - deborah surgeons offer endoscopic radial artery and saphenous vein harvesting, a minimally invasive technique for removal to be used as a conduit in coronary artery bypass surgery. 7. Valve repair or replacement Minimally invasive valve surgery - surgeons at deborah can repair or replace both the mitral and aortic valves by applying a minimally invasive technique. Instead of a sternotomy, a smaller incision is used to expose and access the heart. Deborah offers the latest and safest refined surgical techniques for cardiac valve reconstruction. Many valve conditions result in valvular dysfunction, manifested by stenosis, incompetence or both. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (tavr) - combining the skills of surgeons and interventionalists in deborah's state-of-the-art hybrid operating room, teams can replace aortic valves percutaneously for the highest-risk patients who are not candidates for open heart surgery Valve replacement - deborah has used cardiac valve substitutes since 1963, and utilizes various state-of-the-art cardiac valve prostheses, designed to suit every individual's need, disease process or patient's age. Vascular surgery - elective surgical procedures at deborah include: carotid endarterectomy, abdominal aortic aneurysm resection and lower extremity revascularization. 8. Endovascular surgery Endovascular surgery is an innovative, less invasive procedure used to treat problems affecting the blood vessels, such as an aneurysm, which is a swelling or "ballooning" of the blood vessel. The surgery involves making a small incision near each hip to access the blood vessels. Aortic stenting - endovascular stent grafting, or endovascular aneurysm repair (evar), is a newer form of treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm that is less invasive than open surgery. Endovascular stent grafting uses an endovascular stent graft to reinforce the wall of the aorta and to help keep the damaged area from rupturing. 9. The children's heart center at deborah/children of the world program Outpatient pediatric cardiology - deborah's board-certified pediatric cardiologist and advanced nurse practitioner (anp) provide diagnostic outpatient evaluations for children suspected to have congenital or acquired heart disease. Pediatric arrhythmia program - diagnosis and ongoing management of arrhythmias, palpitations and syncope are provided in the ambulatory care settings. Non-invasive diagnostic studies are used to identify significant problems. Pediatric echocardiography - provides important diagnostic information, and is regularly used as clinically indicated as an integral part of the cardiac evaluation. Perinatal cardiology - comprehensive assessment of the fetus and neonate with suspected cardiac disease is provided. Fetal echocardiography provides information regarding structural heart disease, and allows monitoring of cardiac performance. 10. Electrophysiology and arrhythmias services Cardioversion - a procedure in which a shock is delivered to the patient's heart through paddles or patches on their chest. The current affects the electrical impulses in the heart and can restore a normal rhythm. Crt-d and icd device - cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d) and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) is used to treat heart failure and sudden cardiac death. The system is designed to simplify and reduce the time needed for the implant procedure by combining three separate lead terminals into one integrated connector and reducing the number of connections and set screws needed in the device header. Loop recorders - an implantable loop recorder, or ilr, is a heart recording device that is implanted in the body underneath the chest skin. It has several uses. The most common ones include looking for causes of fainting, palpitations, very fast or slow heartbeats, and hidden rhythms that can cause strokes. Pacemaker/icd - deborah's electrophysiologists implant programmable pacemakers and defibrillators to treat a variety of rhythm disturbances. The major diagnoses are brady- and tachy- arrhythmias. Pacemakers are implanted in a patient with a slow heart rate, while an implantable cardioverter defibrillator is a treatment option for patients who suffer with ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Deborah also implants Bluetooth-enabled devices for remote at home device monitoring. Radiofrequency ablation - deborah performs radiofrequency ablation, a procedure used to treat adults and children with complex cardiac arrhythmias. Included in these services are atrial and supraventricular tachycardia, wolff-parkinson-white syndrome, atrial fibrillation and flutter. Stereotaxis gentle touch magnetic system - deborah's electrophysiology suite includes one of the region's first stereotaxis gentletouch magnetic systems, as well as new enhanced imaging equipment and a specifically-designed mapping system. The stereotaxis gentletouch magnetic system allows doctors the ability to view the inside of the heart, both anatomically and electrically. Tilt tables - tilt tables are used to help identify the cause of fainting spells. Watchman - deborah is implanting the watchman left atrial appendage closure device, a proven alternative to long-term warfarin therapy for stroke risk reduction in patients with non-valvular afib. 11. Imaging services Deborah provides a full complement of imaging services. The Deborah services include: Nuclear medicine - nuclear medicine is a specialized area of radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive materials, or radiopharmaceuticals, to examine organ function and structure. Nuclear studies - a cardiac (heart) nuclear study is a test that uses a small dose of radioactive solution to track blood flow to the heart muscle, and to evaluate heart function. Nuclear stress - a nuclear exercise stress test is like an exercise stress test, in that it also involves walking on a treadmill. For this test, however, a radioactive isotope is injected into the bloodstream. A gamma camera can detect radiation and create computer images of the heart at rest and after exercise. Ct scanner - a cardiac computed tomography (ct) scan uses special x-rays to create detailed images of the heart and blood vessels. Deborah has a state of the art 256-slice CT scanner that provides superior quality images and leads to better, more precise diagnoses. Echo - an echocardiogram (or echo) is a test of the heart using ultrasound waves and is used for diagnosing disease of the heart or its valves. Transesophageal echocardiography (tee) - is a special type of echo that produces moving pictures of your heart by placing a transductor in the esophagus. The esophagus is so close to the heart, images from a TEE provides very clear images of the heart and its structures. |
| CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Ultrasound - a vascular ultrasound is used to study the circulation in the blood vessels of the body. This can be used to look at veins and arteries in the neck, abdomen, arms and legs. Mobile pet/ct - a mobile pet/ct scanner rotates onsite at Deborah for patients who need this diagnostic test, commonly used to identify carcinoma. 12. Institute for sleep medicine Deborah offers patients accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for disorders such as sleep apnea, as well as less common disorders such as narcolepsy, insomnia, sleep movement disorders and sleep deprivation syndromes. Sleep studies are conducted on-site. Home sleep studies are also offered, expanding access to this important diagnostic testing. 13. Interventional cardiology Deborah's interventional cardiology department includes a team of specialty-trained interventionalists using highly advanced technologies and devices to open blockages, offering minimally invasive techniques and an array of interventional treatment options give their patients optimal outcomes. Radial artery access - cardiac catheterization through the radial artery in the wrist is less invasive, more comfortable, safer and has fewer complications and a faster recovery than the traditional femoral method. Performing cardiac catheterization through the wrist using a long, thin tube (called a catheter) through an artery in the wrist to get to the heart is the most common method used at deborah. 14. The wound care center The james klinghoffer center for wound healing and hyperbaric treatment provides advanced wound care technology and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to enhance wound healing through a multidisciplinary team approach. 15. Multi-disciplinary oncology clinic Deborah's multi-disciplinary oncology clinic program, offered through a collaborative relationship with an independent oncology practice, offers collaborative personalized outpatient appointments for case management of patients with tumors. 16. Pulmonary medicine and rehabilitation services The department of pulmonary medicine provides high quality care for patients with all types of lung disease. Our goal is to provide personal care to every patient in a friendly, timely and accessible manner. Pulmonary rehabilitation - pulmonary rehabilitation is a program of education and exercise that helps patients manage his/her/their breathing problems, increasing stamina (energy) and decreasing breathlessness. The educational part of the program teaches patients to be "in charge" of his/her/their breathing instead of his/her/their breathing overseeing them. Pulmonary function testing (pfts) -- noninvasive tests that show how well the lungs are working. The tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange. This information can help a healthcare provider diagnose and decide the treatment of certain lung disorders. Physical therapy (pt) -- a branch of rehabilitative health that uses specially designed exercises and equipment to help patients regain or improve their physical abilities. Pt is appropriate for many types of patients, from infants born with musculoskeletal birth defects, to adults suffering from sciatica or the after effects of injury or surgery, to elderly post-stroke patients. Cardiac rehabilitation -- a medically supervised program, individualized for each patient. It consists of exercise training, as well as education and counseling about heart-healthy living. Besides heart attacks, cardiac rehab is recommended by the american heart association for heart conditions like coronary artery disease, angina or heart failure, after a heart procedure or surgery, including bypass surgery, angioplasty and stenting, valve replacement, or a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Post-COVID Recovery Program -- launched to assist the many patients who have continuing symptoms even after they no longer test positive for covid-19. 17. Vein center Spider veins on the thighs, ankles or calves is a concern for many people. At deborah's vein center, there are now spider vein and varicose vein treatments that can virtually eliminate these conditions. 18. The women's heart center The women's heart center combines deborah's expertise in treating heart and vascular disease with programs to help reduce stress; reduce weight; quit smoking; eat better; sleep more soundly; manage diabetes and educate women about the signs and symptoms of heart and vascular disease. This multi-pronged approach aims to reduce heart and vascular disease among women. 19. Thoracic surgery Thoracic - or chest - surgery includes the lungs, esophagus, trachea, and chest wall. A variety of surgical techniques, including both open and minimally-invasive, are performed by deborah's surgical team. |
