earned a reputation as an innovative leader in health care. While we value our rich history, we 9re excited about our new plans for growth. In 2008, Baptist Health System announced plans for a $75 million facility expansion plan here on the Princeton campus. Construction is expected to begin in 2009 to completely redesign, renovate and expand the hospital 9s 14 operating rooms; replace the endoscopy suite; improve surgery support areas and infrastructure and make it easier for patients and visitors to End t/eir wa@. The plans for Princeton 9s campus expansion dovetail with plans to increase services in Hoover, the only city in the state with more than 60,000 residents and no hospital. Since we opened Princeton Hoover Baptist Medical Center in 2006, we have accomplished a great deal in providing care to the community, but there is more to be done. In keeping with our Mission, we plan to add to t/ese services wit/ a new professional ofEce building to /ouse a 10,000-square-foot diagnostic center and provide space for 25 3 30 p/@sician ofEces. Completion of t/is expansion, targeted for 2010, will provide easier, more comprehensive access to physicians and outpatient care for area residents. W/ile t/e ofEce building will add services at the Hoover location, we set high standards of service to our patients. To best serve the community 9s need and demand for health care, Baptist Health System plans the construction of Hoover Baptist Medical Center, pending regulatory approval. The new hospital will offer a full complement of clinical services, including a physician-staffed 24/7 emergency department, to be located at the current Princeton Hoover site off Highway 150. Of course, our good news is not limited to the future. The employees and physicians of Princeton 9s cardiac services received gold, silver and bronze achievement awards with the American Heart Association 9s cGet With The Guidelines d for implementing higher standards of cardiac care. This recognition was noted not only at the state level, but also in a national magazine, U.S. News and World Report. To provide patients with state-of-the-art care, we continue to invest in new, innovative medical technology, such as the da Vinci S HD Surgery System . To our premier diagnostic imaging center, we recently added the latest generation of hybrid imaging with a new nuclear camera, the GE In?nia Hawkeye 4 . Our medical staff of highly-trained clinicians is growing and we 9re adding new physician specialties to meet the needs of patients. The participation and leadership of our dedicated physicians help to inspire and ensure the continuing success of our outstanding medical education program . Princeton trains new physicians in clinical specialties, such as radiology, pathology, surgery and internal medicine, to promote high standards of medical care now and in the years ahead. Our role as a good neighbor is maintained through such community efforts as our adopt-a-school, Hemphill Elementary, and the Princeton Achievers. Our participation in health initiatives to educate and detect heart disease early with Heart Aware and Search Your Heart are helping to make a difference in battling the nation 9s number one killer. Exciting things are underway at Princeton. Our ministry is strong and growing; it truly remains a ministry of advancing hope. I encourage you to call on us 3 and rely on Princeton Baptist Medical Center to meet your health care needs.

From its earliest days, nursing has played a vital role in this faith-based ministry. When the Birmingham Baptist Association acquired the hospital in January 1922, the philosophy that the patient was the most important person in the hospital was adopted. The patient-focused philosophy continued when Ida V. Moffett became the hospital 9s director of nursing in 1941. During her 73-year-nursing career, Mrs. Moffett became and continues to be a symbol of compassion for Princeton and Baptist Health System. During the decades of her nursing leadership at the Baptist hospitals, she was a mentor to thousands of nurses. She consistently communicated her loving concern and friendship to students, nurses and coworkers. She instilled in them her high ideals and values concerning patient care. Her legacy continues to serve as a role model for the nursing profession not only in Alabama, but also throughout the country. In recognition of her contributions, Princeton each year recognizes performance excellence among its nurses with the Ida V. Moffett Award. It is t/at level of caring and compassion paired wit/ clinical expertise t/at deEnes t/e standard of excellence for Princeton 9s nursing care. It is a standard ascribed to by its nurses; a call for commitment and dedication to the well-being of each patient as well as their family. Princeton nurses recognize the difference that caring nurses can make in the lives of patients. They 9re proud to be part of a multidisciplinary health care team whose goal is the highest quality of life for their patients. Princeton nurses also understand the important contributions that patients and families can make as members of the health care team. Their participation is appreciated; in fact, it 9s encouraged. Princeton recently established the Patient Action Line 3 PAL, as another response method to address the needs of patients in providing the best possible care. A simple phone call to PAL allows a patient or family member to reach a medical professional at any time. Striving for excellence and caring with compassion are longstanding traditions at Princeton 3 traditions Princeton nurses take very much to heart. n<9si60 Ca9.

The Princeton Heart and Vascular Institute at Princeton Baptist Medical Center has a longstanding reputation as a leader and innovator of cardiology care. This tradition of excellence has made Princeton a regional referral center for cardiac procedures for more than 30 years. It 9s a distinction that continues to grow as we pioneer new technologies and services to meet the needs of patients. Princeton knows that prevention is often the best medicine. Recognizing that heart disease is the nation 9s #1 cause of death, we 9ve implemented the HeartAware assessment program. It 9s an innovative online evaluation at Baptist Health System 9s web site that takes just seven minutes to identify those at risk for heart disease. HeartAware offers a personalized approach to focus on individuals at risk 3 those who require t/e most attention.

One example is a specially-designed, top notch Cardiac Electrophysiology Laboratory that houses the latest technology and a staff speciall@ trained in t/e implantation of deEbrillators, pacemakers and ot/er treatments for patients with heart abnormalities. Our expertise and care in the treatment of Coronary Artery Disease has been recognized by the American Heart Association 3 most recently with a Gold Performance Achievement Award 3 in its Get With The Guidelines Initiative. This award and a Silver Performance Award received in 2007, recognized Princeton 9s commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of cardiac care that effectively improves treatment of patients hospitalized with coronary artery disease. Earlier this year, AHA recognized Princeton 9s care in this cutting-edge quality initiative with a Bronze Performance Award in the treatment of heart failure. Remaining at the forefront of good medicine is a longstanding commitment at Princeton, with examples suc/ as: " Princeto n cardiovascular surgeons are among t/e Erst in t/e nation to use t/e cMini Pump d to assist in both coronary bypass surgery and heart valve surgery. " Princeton cardiovascular surgeons are beginning to repair thoracic aortic disease using Endo Stenting Technology.

The Center for Therapeutic Angiogenesis, under the direction of Princeton cardiologist Farrell Mendelsohn, M.D., is dedicated to performing research in the area of cardiovascular diseases to evaluate medications that stimulate the angiogenesis process. At/erosclerosis is a major cause of deat/ in t/e United States. It begins with the accumulation of cholesterol in the wall of arteries, eventually leading to the formation of plaque. SigniEcant plaque build-up can lead to obstructed blood vessels, such as those leading to the heart (coronary artery disease or CAD) or those leading to the legs and feet (peripheral arterial disease or PAD). The drugs that are being studied are meant to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels to improve the circulation to an area that is currently blocked by atherosclerosis to ctrick d the body into making its own bypass. The research protocols vary according to the clinical aspect being studied. The Center for Therapeutic Angiogenesis at Princeton is one of the leading sites in the nation in this area of research and treats patients from all over the nation with severe heart disease and peripheral vascular disease. For information about current studies, call 205-780-4330, extension 234, or visit www.CenterforTherapeuticAngiogenesis.org. The Electrophysiology Service at Princeton provides a full range of outpatient and inpatient procedures to diagnose and treat various cardiac rhythm abnormalities and heart failure. Electrophysiologic studies and ablations require 2 - 4 hours as catheters are guided into the heart chambers while the patient is sedated. The catheters 9 electrodes gather data and a variety of electrical measurements are made. These help the physician identify the type and source of the rhythm abnormality and may help determine the need for the implant of pacemakers and/or implantable cardioverter deEbrillators (ICDs). The implant of pacemakers and ICDs is performed with the patient in the sedated state. A small incision, usually in the area of the left shoulder, is performed, and pacing wires are advanced into the heart through large veins. The wires are connected to the device generator which is placed under the skin in the area of the incision. These devices can perform a variety of important and life-saving functions, including the corrections of slow or fast heart rhythms, and may help improve heart failure symptoms. When appropriate, ablation therapy can be performed during the EP study. This non-surgical procedure treats many types of arrhythmias by ablating or caltering d the pathway that causes the disruption to the regular rhythm of the heart.

Digital Mammography 3 Digital mammography is FDA-approved for screening and diagnosing breast cancer. It offers images of outstanding quality, faster exams, increased detection rates and lower doses of radiation. Senographe DS 9s ergonomic design offers patients greater comfort and reduced stress. Computer Aided Detection gives the radiologist an cadditional set of eyes d when reading mammograms. Our services are accredited by the American College of Radiology and provided b@ board certiEed p/@sicians and certiEed radiological tec/nologists. Stereotactic (Non-Surgical) Breast Biopsy 3 This technique for breast biopsies is routinely performed as an outpatient procedure. It is a key tool in identifying whether abnormalities detected in breast exams and mammograms are benign or malignant. It is now also available using ultrasound guidance . Nuclear Medicine/Heart Imaging 3 Nuclear Medicine or ccardiac stress testing d is a medical specialty that requires very small doses of radioactive tracers often lower than those with an x-ray. The new In?nia Hawkeye 4 excels in producing superior images of the heart. Outpatient Myelogram 3 A specialized x-ray of the spine to detect blockage or decrease in cerebral spinal Fuid Fow. It is most /elpful in diagnosing tumors, damaged discs or c/anges in t/e bones surrounding the spinal cord. PET/CT - Positron Emission Tomography with Computerized Tomography provides exceptionally detailed, three-dimensional computerized images to help doctors pinpoint the location of a suspected mass of cells and determine if the cells are potentially cancerous. It also helps doctors determine what surgery is needed, plan a surgical route and determine the best course of action. PET/CT offers applications for neurology (e.g. refractory seizures and Alzheimer 9s disease) and cardiology (e.g. myocardial viability and myocardial perfusion). To schedule an appointment for a PET/CT, call 205-783-7979. Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) -- Therapeutic and palliative treatment for soft tissue and bone tumors as well as tumor-related pain. Ultrasound 3 A noninvasive procedure to create two- and three-dimensional images of any internal organ. Ultrasound directed biopsies and ot/er ultrasound guided procedures are available. Princeton 9s GE ultrasound equipment allows technologists to do cvolume sweeps d of organs. Once images are sent to the workstation, models can be created and formatted creating volume imaging of the pathology. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) -- An innovative, less invasive, outpatient option to hysterectomies for women wit/ uterine Ebroid tumors. Wit/ UFE , a specially trained radiologist injects small particles t/roug/ a cat/eter to block t/e Fow of blood to Ebroids. Deprived of ox@gen and nutrients required to grow, t/e Ebroids s/rink over time. For information, call Grace D@kes, R.N., 205-783-3274 .

Princeton 9s premier imaging center offers some of the most comprehensive, sophisticated imaging technology in Alabama for diagnosis and treatment. A technology partnership with GE Healthcare helps keep Princeton abreast of t/e newest applications and improvements. One result: t/e best work Fow to accommodate patients and keep waiting time to the absolute minimum. Princeton recently added the GE In?nia Hawkeye 4 to its impressive array of imaging technology. It complements Princeton 9s Open MRI, 3-Tesla MRI, digital mammography units, PET/CT, digital x-ray and state-of-the-art VCT to provide Princeton 9s specially-trained radiologists the tools for diagnostic imaging capabilities that equal or exceed any available in Alabama. The Imaging Center offers a full range of outpatient diagnostic procedures including: Bone Densitometry 3 A technologically advanced radiographic procedure to determine bone mineral density or bone mass and diagnose osteoporosis. Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan 3 A CT scan or ccat scan d procedure images the body in cross-sections and provides a very detailed look at internal structures and vessels. CT scans provide a clearer, more accurate picture of the patient 9s condition in only seconds. CTA (CT angiography) procedures are used to evaluate vascular disease, such as aneurysms, peripheral vascular disease and coronary artery disease. Princeton 9s newest generation of CT is Volume Computerized Tomography . VCT 9s 64-slice imaging technology offers greater image clarity, easier patient access and lower contrast dosage. Applications include 5-Beat Cardiac" for compre/ensive views of t/e /eart and arteries in just Eve /eartbeats; Triple RuleOut" that in one scan helps rule out (or in) three of the most life-threatening critical conditions in chest pain; Stroke Work-Up for rapid perfusion studies; and Cardiac Scoring , a unique test to measure calcium in coronary arteries, which adds to plaque build-up and increases risk for heart disease. Cardiac scoring takes minutes with results available within the hour. For speciEc questions about VCT procedures, call 205-783-3282 . Diagnostic Radiology 3 Diagnostic radiology is the foundation for all other imaging tests.

Vertebroplasty is a non-surgical procedure that injects liquid cbone d cement into a compression fracture or broken vertebrae. Shortly after the injection, the cement- like material hardens to create a supportive structure for the compressed vertebrae to prevent further collapse and alleviate pain. Kyphoplasty is a similar procedure that places a balloon in the spine to expand the space if the vertebrae have collapsed. Particularly effective with bone tumors, this procedure creates space needed to insert cement and better stabilize the vertebrae.
