Dear Patients, Community Members and Colleagues:

2017 was a year of great accomplishments and positive change at AdventHealth Cancer Institute Waterman, formerly known as Florida Hospital Waterman Cancer Institute. Our dedicated team of medical professionals and support staff continued to work hard to provide the best care for each patient while expanding access to quality health care for our entire community. We maintained prestigious accreditations, acquired the latest technology and recruited talented individuals to join our team. Below are a few of our notable 2017 achievements:

• Installed and initiated treatment using our new TrueBeam™ linear accelerator. This

state-of-the-art radiation treatment machine uses advanced technology to deliver

radiation to tumor sites with increased speed and accuracy.

• Established inpatient palliative care consultation services, led by Dr. Ajit V. Hansalia,

allowing our patients greater access to more optimized pain management, comfort-care

measures and supportive care.

• More than 350 palliative care consultations were performed in 2017 and the service

continues to grow.

• Welcomed aboard Leslie Maxwell, our new director of AdventHealth Cancer Institute

Waterman. Leslie brings more than 18 years of cancer center executive leadership and

experience to AdventHealth Waterman, formerly Florida Hospital Waterman. She will

continue to strengthen and develop the cancer program.

• Enhanced our presence in the community through local outreach focused on prostate

and gynecologic cancers, and other awareness-building activities for cancer screening

and prevention.

These and many other achievements demonstrate the dedication and commitment of our team. We are grateful for the support of our partners, community and donors. We will continue to build deeper relationships with our patients, physicians and community, and reaffirm our commitment to providing the highest quality, state-of-the-art cancer care close to home. Regards, <add signature> Anudh Jain, MD Radiation Oncology Specialist



Comprehensive Cancer Committee Chair

Dear Patients, Community Members and Colleagues:

Did you know that the AdventHealth Cancer Institute Waterman, formerly known as Florida Hospital Waterman Cancer Institute, is the most comprehensive cancer program in Lake County? We offer more services for cancer prevention and screening, diagnosis, treatment, education, support and survivorship than any other local cancer center. Most of these services are provided in one building for the ease and convenience of our patients and their families.

And our program uses leading-edge technology to help patients fight and beat cancer. We were the first in Lake County to offer the most innovative radiation therapy technology. Through our partnership with Florida Cancer Specialists, we are able to offer innovative treatments options through clinical trials. In addition, because we are part of the AdventHealth Cancer Institute, the largest cancer program in the state of Florida, we have access to even more cancer specialists and advanced technology so we can link our patients to additional resources when needed. Our expert team of physicians, nurses, technicians and support personnel are committed to providing complete and personalized care for each patient. Our service standards are based on the AdventHealth Whole Person Care philosophy to keep patients safe. We care for patients like they are members of our own families, make it easy for patients to access the health care they need, and work to quickly resolve any issues patients may have. This model is founded in AdventHealth’s mission, vision and values. What does all of this mean to you? It means that cancer patients in our community do not have to travel far from home for personalized high-quality care, expert clinicians, and the latest cancer therapies. We are by your side every step of the way to help beat cancer. Sincerely,

<add signature> Leslie K. Maxwell, MBA Director AdventHealth Cancer Institute Waterman <Graphic Header>



AdventHealth Waterman Mission, Vision, Values and Service Standards

<Next Page>

SUMMARY OF SERVICES Quality, Compassionate Cancer Care From diagnosis to recovery, the AdventHealth Cancer Institute Waterman, formerly known as Florida Hospital Waterman Cancer Institute, offers innovative state-of-the art health care. We connect Lake County to a network of care, as part of AdventHealth Cancer Institute, that ensures the highest quality, most integrated services in one place. Our oncologists are experts in cancer care, having trained at top medical schools and in other prominent hospitals and institutions. The Cancer Institute is also accredited as a Comprehensive Community Cancer Program by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons so we meet the highest national standards in comprehensive patient-centered care. At AdventHealth Cancer Institute Waterman, you can stay close to home – connected to the community – while receiving the latest cancer treatments and therapies. But state-of-the-art doesn’t mean strictly technical. Our physicians and staff are part of the community and proud to practice with caring and compassion in a profession and city we all love.



The best health care engages the body, mind, and spirt and each contributes to healing. That’s why we invest in people and technology, from the TrueBeam™ linear accelerator that targets tumors with pinpoint accuracy to cancer care coordinators who help patients coordinate medical appointments and provide emotional support to overcome the hurdles during cancer recovery.

Affiliations and National Accreditations

Cancer Care Navigators <COPY> INCLUDE PHOTOS OF NURSE NAVIGATORS WITH FOLLOWING PHOTO CAPTION. Eileen Bascombe, RN, Certified Cancer Navigator Holly Soucy, RN, Certified Cancer Navigator In 2017, AdventHealth Cancer Institute Waterman was the only hospital in Lake County to offer Cancer Care Navigators, specially trained and nationally certified nurses who serve as critical liaisons between patients and their medical team during treatment and recovery. The complimentary services include personalized education and support, assistance with appointment scheduling, follow-up on test results and consultations, and help accessing financial assistance and psychosocial support.

Radiation Oncology In 2017, the AdventHealth Cancer Institute Waterman continued to pursue the latest innovations in radiation oncology to ensure patients have access to the safest, most effective radiation care.



The Cancer Institute acquired Lake County’s first TrueBeam™ linear accelerator, a radiotherapy system that uses state-of-the-art synchronized imaging and dose delivery to produce more efficient and accurate imaging results. TrueBeam™ imaging technology makes it possible to treat tumors within a few minutes per session, delivering radiation faster and with pinpoint accuracy that results in less radiation exposure to the patient. Additional technological advances in radiation oncology have paved the way for the AdventHealth Cancer Institute Waterman to implement more non-surgical therapy options, including brachytherapy, a treatment with minimal side effects and shorter recovery times for some skin and prostate cancers.

Multidisciplinary Tumor Board A multidisciplinary approach is often used to determine the most effective individualized treatment plans for our patients. Each week a team of our specialty physicians meets to review and discuss individual cases before recommending the best course of treatment. During these weekly tumor board meetings, each case is also reviewed against the Clinical Practice Guidelines established by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), an alliance of leading cancer centers. These guidelines offer additional clinical evidence and support to ensure our patients are receiving the best treatment options. <Next Page>

CANCER REGISTRY Improving the survival and quality of life of our patients is our top priority. As part of our accreditation with the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons, the AdventHealth Cancer Institute Waterman, formerly known as Florida Hospital Waterman Cancer Institute, maintains a Cancer Registry. This information system allows us to track and compare our cancer outcomes with other facilities across the country. The collective data helps us stay up to date on successful treatment trends and clinical trials, and guides us in designing programs to keep our community better educated about the importance of cancer screenings and prevention.

QUALITY PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT

Breast Cancer Statistics

In 2016, the American Cancer Society reported about 249,260 breast cancer cases diagnosed in the United States. Of those, 246,660 were women and 2,600 were men. Thanks to increasing early detection and cutting-edge treatments, mortality from breast cancer has decreased 39 percent over the past decade, leading to approximately 320,000 fewer deaths and an estimated 3.5 million breast cancer survivors. At AdventHealth Waterman, formerly Florida Hospital Waterman, breast cancer in women continues to be the primary cancer site. Of 166 patients diagnosed with and/or treated for breast cancer in 2016, 98 percent – or 163 – were women and 2 percent – or three patients – were men. Age Group at Diagnosis Of patients diagnosed with breast cancer at AdventHealth Waterman, more than 50 percent were 40 to 69 years old. When narrowed to 60 to 69 year-old patients, that group represented more than 25 percent of the total, which is similar to the national average.

Stage at Diagnosis Overall at AdventHealth Waterman, over three quarters of the breast cancer patients were diagnosed with Stage 0-2 disease, compared to almost 90 percent nationally.

AdventHealth Waterman Breast Cancer Program The Team Our breast cancer program is led by Dr. Borys Mascarenhas, clinical quality director of AdventHealth Waterman’s Cancer Program and Lake County’s only fellowship-trained surgical oncologist. Dr. Mascarenhas, along with his multi-disciplinary team, provides state-of-the-art care in a private-practice setting, ensuring each patient receives individualized care tailored to his or her needs. The breast cancer care team includes a diverse group of professionals specially trained to deliver quality treatment and related support:

• Surgeon

• Radiation Oncologist

• Medical Oncologist

• Radiologist

• Pathologist

• Plastic Surgeon

• Nurses

• Social workers

• Nutritionists

• Genetic counselors

Each patient’s case is discussed during a weekly conference in which the team reviews the biology of each patient’s tumor, the stage on presentation, and health of the patient. The patient’s lifestyle and personal choices are also considered. In 2019, the AdventHealth Waterman breast cancer program will apply for accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. Treatments For patients with stages I, II or III breast cancer, treatment focuses on curative intent – with survival of five years or more. These treatment therapies often consist of surgery, radiation therapy to the breast, chest wall and lymph nodes, chemotherapy, and/or hormonal therapy.



In some cases, cancer treatment can be long term (5 years). Based on size of the tumor at diagnosis or the involvement of lymph nodes, patients are initially treated with chemotherapy and/or hormone therapy prior to surgery. The most common first course of treatment for breast cancer patients at AdventHealth Waterman in 2016 was surgery combined with hormone therapy at 28 percent. Breast Cancer Cases Diagnosis by Gender

Meeting the Needs of Our Community

Staying up to date on the community’s health care needs allows us to promptly evaluate

concerns and make ongoing improvements. That’s why we conducted a Community Health

Needs Assessment in 2016. Driven by the findings from that report, we developed strategies to

address the health care gaps and barriers to cancer care in Lake County. OTE> CALL-OUT

Improving Access to Cancer Care for All Lake County Residents

The most common barriers to cancer care identified by a recent Lake County health assessment

are health insurance and financial issues, lack of knowledge of available local resources,

challenges with palliative and advanced care planning, and obstacles to off-site outpatient

treatment and transportation. AdventHealth Cancer Institute Waterman strives to break down

the barriers by:

• Offering online and phone support by a cancer care navigator who can assist with

setting up appointments and consultation, securing imaging and test results, addressing

financial support needs, and designing long-term survivorship care plans

• Increasing community outreach by cancer care navigators and oncology social worker

through hospital programs and local charitable organizations

• Providing patient education through local physician offices

• Implementing Palliative Care Distress Screenings and telephone follow-up to identify

and support patients facing emotional and social distress during treatment

• Providing inpatient Palliative Care and advanced care planning services

• Increasing awareness and availability of cancer screenings for early detection

• Offering access to an oncology Financial Counselor

• Providing transportation assistance



Cancer Prevention Awareness Campaign More than 250,000 Lake County residents, or 75 percent of the community, were reached by our Cancer Prevention Awareness Campaign, which provided education about the benefits of early cancer detection through screenings.

Supporting Survivors

AdventHealth Cancer Institute Waterman is dedicated to improving the quality of care for survivors as they move beyond their cancer treatment. In 2017, 60 patients received survivorship care plans within six months of treatment completion. Individualized care plans are shared during one-on-one meetings between patients and their cancer care navigator, nurse and/or physician. <Next Page>

COMMUNITY OUTREACH AdventHealth Cancer Institute Waterman’s, formerly known as Florida Hospital Waterman Cancer Institute, annual community outreach activities exemplify our Whole Person Care philosophy and demonstrate our commitment to fostering a healthy community.

FOUNDATION

Thanks to the generosity of our donor partners, the AdventHealth Waterman Foundation,

formerly known as Florida Hospital Waterman Foundation, raises thousands of dollars annually

that help fund valuable services to improve the health of our community.



In 2017, the Foundation raised more than $30,000 to support Cancer Care Services, with an

additional $23,000 raised through events and promotion and nearly $13,000 contributed by

other local organizations.

Each October, the hospital kicks off its annual “Pinking Out” celebration with a number of

activities and educational events created to encourage breast cancer awareness, including the

Pink Out 5K Run/Walk, the Ladies Legacy Luncheon and a direct mail campaign.

Proceeds from these events are used to promote breast cancer awareness, and provide

financial and educational support for early detection and screening. Contributions to the

AdventHealth Waterman Foundation in 2017 made it possible for us to conduct 122 screening

mammograms for women who might not have otherwise been able to receive the early

screening procedure.

CLINICAL TRIALS

Clinical trials are research studies aimed at evaluating if a new treatment, like a new cancer

drug, is safe and effective. Often a clinical trial is used to explore whether a new treatment is

more effective and/or has less harmful side effects than the standard treatment. AdventHealth

Cancer Institute Waterman, formerly known as Florida Hospital Waterman Cancer Institute,

gives patients the opportunity to participate in the newest therapies to fight cancer through a

variety of clinical trials.
