Lupus is a chronic, automimmune disease. There are a few different forms of the disease but the name is usually used to describe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common and most serious type.

As the region’s health leader, Bayhealth is using new and innovative treatments to help in the fight against COVID-19. The latest tool is a limited supply of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), the therapeutic agents designed to treat COVID-19 in high-risk patients. This treatment was authorized for emergency use by the FDA and has been distributed through the government to healthcare systems like Bayhealth. These synthetically created antibodies mimic the action of natural antibodies in fighting viruses. While not a cure for COVID-19, mAb infusions, when administered early after symptoms appear, have been found to be effective in shortening the length of illness and preventing potential hospitalization for those infected.

Bayhealth's Volunteer Services team is coming together to make valentines for veterans! The group is creating Valentine's Day card to share with local veterans so they know they are loved and appreciated by their community. #BayhealthStrong

“Working in cardiology we have learned so much about heart disease. It has not only attacked family members, but friends and patients that we become close with. If wearing red helps increase awareness or helps continue funding heart disease research to find a cure then to us it’s worth Going Red and worth the effort to save people’s lives.” –Cardiology Consultants, Milford #BayhealthGoesRed

As a member of the Delaware Perinatal Quality Collaborative (DPQC), Bayhealth is participating in a campaign with the Division of Public Health (DPH) to raise awareness and promote the importance of completing the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) survey. The main component of the campaign is giving free PRAMS branded goodie bags to new moms at Bayhealth Hospital, Kent and Sussex Campuses. Each bag contains items for both mom and baby such as masks, onesies, and drinking cups. The information gathered from the PRAMS survey helps inform the care planned for mothers and babies in our communities. If you want to learn more, head to the newsroom on our website!

In recognition of Black History Month, we asked Administrative Assistant Tamaka Brown what the month meant to her. This is what she shared. “It’s a dedicated month to highlight and celebrate the accomplishments of black Americans. The fact that black history is part of American’s history means it’s important for all Americans to know, learn about and understand.” #Bayhealth #BayhealthStrong #BlackHistoryMonth

We’re continuing to Go Red for heart health in recognition of American Heart Month. If you haven’t already, please join us by taking a photo of yourself wearing red and let us know why you’re Going Red for heart health. #BayhealthGoesRed

We continue to mourn the loss of and pay tribute to Bayhealth ENT Physician Dr. Stephen Cooper, who passed away unexpectedly in December. Dr. Cooper was on the Bayhealth Medical Staff for over 30 years. He was a fixture of the Dover and Milford communities for decades as the area’s only otolaryngologist for much of that time. Dr. Cooper provided care for countless patients over the years and is dearly missed by so many community members. We encourage everyone to share stories or anecdotes about how Dr. Cooper impacted their lives and our community below.

Leading the way in our region, Bayhealth is the first and only healthcare system in Delaware, and one of only 41 hospitals nationwide, with certification by the American College of Cardiology for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). Our TAVR program can provide a minimally-invasive alternative to open heart surgery for some patients with severe aortic stenosis needing a new heart valve. Today happens to be Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day— at Bayhealth we’re proud to be at the forefront in delivering innovative care that improves the quality of life for those in our community affected by this disease. Learn more at Bayhealth.org/Heart-and-Vascular or ask your doctor if you might be a candidate for TAVR.

Our team in the Sterile Processing department is driven to work together to provide the best for patients. In honor of Black History Month, we asked Sterile Processing Manager Grunderson Jean Phillipe to share his thoughts. Here’s what he had to say: “We have a diverse team of individuals. This diverse group comes together to work for excellent patient care – because laundry is the only thing that should be separated by color. The teamwork in our department is comprised of trust, tolerance and communication as a foundation of best practices. Each member of our department brings a different contribution to this relationship to make it better. They work positively together with everyone to get the job done the best way possible. We believe, that we must make everyone feel important, valued, respected, and needed.” #Bayhealth #BayhealthStrong #BlackHistoryMonth

Weekly Live Prayer & Meditation

In recognition of Black History Month, we asked Patient Accounts Specialist Toshi Reynolds to share who has inspired her from black history and what the month meant to her. This is what she shared. “Black History Month means to me taking the time out to learn the black history of what African Americans before me fought for. Also thanking those African Americans for giving us hope and life lessons that could be used. Black History is about integrity, leadership, and determination,” she said. “Martin Luther King, Jr. has inspired me because he helped to end racial discrimination and segregation in the United States. We are all one.” #Bayhealth #BayhealthStrong #BlackHistoryMonth

For us, and for all the organizations who benefited from the generosity of Delawareans today, we thank you. It’s because of people like you who make Delaware a wonderful place for everyone to live, work and enjoy. #DoMore24DE

The caregivers and staff at Bayhealth Hospital, Sussex Campus recently filled the lobby to celebrate as a patient who spent more than seven months in the hospital battling COVID-19 was transferred to the next stage of her recovery. Head to our website to read her inspiring story!

The ways Bayhealth Medical Staff takes care of our community are boundless. They generously donated $100,000 to establish a fund to help community members in need. Bayhealth General Surgeon Edward Alexander, MD, started this effort among his colleagues and worked with the Bayhealth Foundation to carry it out. A committee reviews nominations made by Medical Staff members for individuals, families or community charities deserving of aid. The first grant recipient was a local food bank. “The pandemic has made us even more aware of those around us needing help,” said Dr. Alexander. “Collectively, we can make a difference locally for years to come.”

Surgery Scheduler Nichole Garris joined Bayhealth Gastroenterology, Sussex Campus a few months before the coronavirus was declared a pandemic. As the reality of the COVID-19 set in, she simply wanted to do something to take her mind off the world around her. At home, Garris has a soon-to-be 3-year-old son that has driven her to put more effort into living a better lifestyle. “I’ll be 40 in May and I want to be a healthier mom for my son,” she said. “I lost 30 pounds this past year and have been able to keep it off,” she said. Garris recently received her one-year of service pin from Bayhealth. “Being a part of this organization has been a welcoming experience,” she said. “I didn’t know anyone when I started and now, I have a new family.” #Bayhealth #Driven #BayhealthStrong

Thank you! #BayhealthStrong WWW.BAYHEALTH.ORG Thank You to Our Community Bayhealth Medical Center June 1, 2020 at 9:34 PM · From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, our community has supported our healthcare heroes at Bayhealth.

Over the past six months, Bayhealth Family Medicine Program Director Brintha Vasagar, MD, MPH, FAAFP, has earned many honors including a Minority Business Leader award from Philadelphia Business Journal, being named among Delaware Business Times’ DBT40 for statewide achievers and innovators under the age of 40, and being featured in Women in Business in Delaware Today’s December issue. Humbled by the accolades, Dr. Vasagar is most proud of the innovative teamwork in building a residency program at Bayhealth that will address physician shortages locally and strengthen population health. “There have been plenty of times in my career that I’ve been the youngest person, or the only woman, or the only person of color in the room, and I’ve been fortunate to have mentors and colleagues that included and guided me,” she said. “There is so much value in having diverse voices at the table. Including diverse voices on our team is uniquely shaping how we will train residents to best serve our community.”

As Bayhealth looks forward to welcoming its first family medicine and internal medicine residents with central and southern Delaware’s first Graduate Medical Education (GME) program, our physicians look back on their own residency experience and how it’s shaped them. Dr. Olivia Castro of Bayhealth Primary Care, Airport Road in Milford shared her sentiments. “I’m almost 2 years out of residency. I completed mine in Long Island, New York and miss it very much. It definitely taught me how to listen to patients. Since residency I have become more independent in my thinking, but I tend to still chat with my colleagues in the office for advice and it’s so nice to still have people to go talk to who understand what you are going through. The staff, physicians, and PA in my practice have really become my family.” Dr. Castro added that what drives her in her work is to make her parents proud. “They worked so hard when I was growing up to give my siblings and I a great life and I want to make them happy.” #ResidencyReflections #Driven
