Baylor All Saints Medical
Center at Fort Worth opens
Joan Katz Breast Center
On April 19, the Joan Katz Breast
Center at Baylor All Saints Medi-
cal Center at Fort Worth officially
opened to provide comprehensive,
compassionate breast services on
one campus for those diagnosed
with breast cancer in Tarrant
County and surrounding areas.
"Baylor Fort Worth is commit-
ted to meeting the health care and
wellness needs of women in our
community," said Steven R. New-
ton, president, Baylor All Saints
Medical Center at Fort Worth.
"The Joan Katz Breast Center at
Fort Worth exemplifies that com-
mitment by providing coordinated,
quality medical care for patients
facing the overwhelming diagnosis
of breast cancer right here — close
to home."
Currently the Center offers
a Nurse Navigation program to
educate patients about their dis-
ease and treatment options. Since
January 2008, the Center's certi-
fied breast health nurse navigator
for the Joan Katz Breast Center at
Fort Worth has served over 725 pa-
tients. The Center offers a place for
women to seek help, healing and
guidance regardless of their ability
to pay or where they are receiving
their services.
The Center also offers quali-
fied leadership under the direction
of Medical Director Anita Chow,
M.D., Tarrant County's first and
one of only two fellowship-trained
breast surgeons. A breast tumor
board will conduct a weekly Mul-
tidisciplinary Breast Conference to
review complex and reoccurring
breast cancer cases to plan a treat-
ment course in a prospective man-
ner and discuss cases that require
multi-specialty input.
"I am honored to be involved
with the Joan Katz Breast Center
at Fort Worth," said Anita Chow,
M.D., general surgeon on the
medical staff at Baylor All Saints
Medical Center at Fort Worth. "As
a physician helping breast cancer
patients, I believe that a compre-
hensive breast cancer treatment
facility is invaluable."
The Joan Katz Breast Center at
Fort Worth is the place for com-
prehensive, compassionate breast
services. Services include: patient

Nerve & skin damage
Cold Therapy
Ice cooler devices, prescribed by surgeons and podia-
trists for pain and swelling, may cause frostbite-like inju-
ries to the skin and underlying nerves. Manufacturers like
Donjoy Iceman, Breg Polar Care and EB Ice, often chose
not to provide adequate instruction or warning that would
have avoided these permanent, life-altering injuries. If you
or a loved one has been hurt by a cold therapy machine,
please call today for professional insight.

Confirmation services
at Beth-El, Ahavath Sholom
I remember well when all my
children — Linda Wisch David-
sohn, Steve, Judy, Susan Wisch
and Sharon Wisch-Ray — were
fortunate enough to be confirmed
at Temple Beth-El. I remember the
beautiful ceremonies, parties and
gifts the confirmation classes pre-
sented to the temple each year. It's
memories such as these that will be
with me forever. I remember the
late Rabbi Robert Schur's words to
his beloved students each year, just
before summer vacation. He said,
"I want each of you this summer
to read a good book, take a long
walk and make a new friend." I
remember his parting words to his
congregation as he told them of his
retirement because of the pending
onslaught of Alzheimer's disease.
Beth-El is blessed today to have
the leadership of Rabbi Ralph
Mecklenburger, who has brought
the congregation to even greater
heights with his noted leader-
ship; the creation of a new Beth-
El Congregation, the magnificent
new temple on Briarhaven and
Hulen; the outstanding awards
he has achieved; the educational
and recreational facilities; and the
countless other services he has
provided for the community at
large. Whether it's at a B'nai B'rith
function, Jewish Family Service
event, lecturing at universities or
speaking at interfaith ceremo-
nies, whenever called upon, Rabbi
Mecklenburger is ready to serve his
fellow man.
This year, Beth-El will have its
