TOVA Sickle Cell Awareness Walk/Run hook-up joined two participants in marriage Saturday, November 11th
Congratulations to Dr. Raymisha and Theo Jr. who met at the 2015 James Faucett III Sickle Cell Awareness run at Brandywine Park. Even though Theo tried to keep up with Raymisha, he finally conquered by getting the hook up which led to a friendship beyond compare.
Our Wilmington Delaware community longed for a wedding of elegance even just to dress up and connect with family andfriends. All of the above was achieved on Saturday, November 11th at Hanover Presbyterian Church and the receptions. Tears of Joy and Best Wishes to you both.
All the best, Dr. Nina

A Consumer/Patient perspective from the Delaware Hospital Association's Conference on October 31st
I thought it would be valuable for the DHAs' stakeholders to hear the perspective from a consumer who suffers with Complex Chronic Conditions- Sickle Cell Disease, Asthma, Degenerative Disc Disease and Chronic Pain and utilizes the hospital system for sickle cell crisis and other complications. By the way, this patient has 'private' insurance.
Re: "The Delaware
Healthcare Association Conference, which was held on October 31, 2017, was an
interesting and enlightening day session of information. It consistently highlighted the positive and
negative aspects of an already volatile relationship between the federal
government, state governments, healthcare providers/professional across the
U.S., and medical patients. This was
shown through the presentation of many different legislative bills, which
affect the healthcare industry. The
presented bills have either been passed, thrown out, or tabled.
On another
positive note, the DHA Conference was a great platform for many different
businesses. All of these different
companies, that were at the conference, were both in the healthcare field and
non-healthcare professions. The
conference allowed them to advertise, sponsor, and co-mingle all other
businesses and participants at the DHA Conference. These allowed for all the businesses to bring
awareness their cause, to network, and offer their services to people who may
have never known or had access to their business. Overall, the conference was a success in providing
a networking platform, healthcare education, and possible new services to many
different people."
The Delaware Healthcare Association was formed in 1967 to assist Delaware hospitals in working on issues concerning health care and the hospital industry. The primary role of the Association is to serve as a leader in the promotion of effective change in health services through collaboration and consensus building on health care issues at the State and Federal levels. Delaware Hospital Association
Despite the challenges from the hospital systems and regulatory bodies, it is clear that healthcare costs are rising steadily and are unsustainable. It is my hope that public policy, bureaucrats and healthcare administrators will put on the table the client/patient and value of a highly skilled and trained healthcare workforce.
In Service, Dr. Nina

Message from Dr. Nina: Nothing is Certain but Change
The anxiety and the normal doubt from the uncertainty one experiences when dealing with change is to be expected. Over the years in healthcare, technological advances along with Electronic Medical Records revolutionized care in a way no-one could ever imagine. In addition to TOVA moving to our new location at Family Medicine at Greenhill from Henrietta Johnson has been a challenge but surprisingly greater opportunities have presented itself.
Dr. Edward Creagan from the Mayo Clinic stated that we can not keep change from happening but we can choose how we react and respond. In other words, we can invest our energy feeling sorry for ourselves or figure how to adapt and thrive. Oftentimes, there is a sense of a loss of control over a situation that we can’t keep from happening. A few tips that have helped me along this journey are: replace fearful thoughts with positive thoughts, regular exercise can help you stay calm to make clear and rational decisions and lastly keep on grinding. Yes, change can be frightening. But the right attitude, outlook and actions can help you find opportunities within that change.
All the Best,
Dr. Nina
