\u2022 New Telehealth Program Connects Culpeper Patients with UVA Heart Experts<\/p>\n

A new telehealth partnership between Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center and UVA Health System will enable Culpeper-area patients to get easier access to UVA’s heart and vascular experts.
\nWhen patients with potential heart or vascular conditions are brought to Culpeper Medical Center’s emergency department, physicians and patients will be connected through a secure videoconferencing link with physicians at the UVA Heart & Vascular Center through UVA’s Karen S. Rheuban Center for Telehealth.<\/p>\n

UVA physicians will be able to review the patient\u2019s medical records as well as any imaging and lab results and discuss potential treatment options both with the Culpeper Medical Center team as well as the patient and their family. This will help patients and families play a more active role in determining the next steps, which could range from some new medications to an admission to Culpeper Medical Center or a transfer to UVA Medical Center for surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Aortic Telehealth program allows for a closer collaboration between Culpeper Medical Center and UVA,\u201d said Nicholas Teman, MD, a UVA heart surgeon. \u201cPatients and their families will have the opportunity to meet with their surgeon prior to a transfer for potential emergency surgery, and unneeded transfers can be avoided.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Southwest Virginia Residents Sought to Direct Region’s Battle Against Cancer<\/p>\n

A new University of Virginia Cancer Center initiative will empower Southwest Virginia residents to lead projects to better detect and prevent cancer in the region. The effort has earned $244,589 in funding from the Eugene Washington Engagement Award Program at the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).<\/p>\n

With the funding in hand, the UVA Cancer Center Without Walls team is now seeking Southwest Virginia residents who will be trained to guide these cancer research projects.<\/p>\n

Their goal is to address two cancer disparities in the Appalachian counties of Southwest Virginia:
\n\u2022 the lack of early screening and detection
\n\u2022 high death rates (between 15 and 36 percent higher compared with urban non-Appalachian residents) caused by later detection and lack of access to treatment and support programs<\/p>\n
