Accepting Challenges 2017/2018 IMPACT REPORT
Dear Friends, When patients are diagnosed with brain and spine disorders, they often feel hopeless. They may not receive adequate – or any – treatment options. But when they arrive at Barrow Neurological Institute, our world’s leading brain and spine experts are equipped with the knowledge, skills, research and technology to offer the highest level of neurological care available. Every day, Barrow doctors accept the challenge of saving patient lives. Of helping patients who have been told there is no hope. Of making the impossible possible. Our clinicians accept these challenges because you have chosen to accept these challenges. You are true partners in our mission to save patients’ lives. Thanks to your dedication and commitment, last year our physicians and scientists accepted many challenges and achieved these milestones: • The establishment of the Ivy Brain Tumor Center, thanks to an incredible $25 million gift from The Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation – the largest-ever donation to Barrow and Dignity Health, and the largest gift in history made in support of brain tumor research – which will be matched by the Barrow Neurological Foundation. The center offers the world’s largest Phase 0 clinical trials program for patients with a brain tumor, which drastically cuts the time to develop new drugs. • Our selection to join NeuroNEXT, the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) prestigious Network for Excellence in Neuroscience Clinical Trials for neurological diseases that brings nearly all of the NIH’s clinical trials to Barrow. • The performance of more neurosurgeries than any other facility in the country. • The execution of nearly 30 clinical trials and research studies in the Alzheimer’s and Memory Disorders Program to find new treatments and diagnostics for Alzheimer’s and dementia. • The education of more neurosurgeons than any other program in the country, and the training of more than 60 scholars from 23 countries around the world. • The implementation of more than 1,000 clinical trials and research studies. • The treatment of 1,200 patients and answering of 765 calls by Barrow stroke specialists via the Barrow Emergency Stroke Treatment Unit. • The restoration of 3,275 patients’ health through therapy in neuro-rehabilitation in the inpatient and outpatient clinics. These accomplishments are a reflection of the talented and dedicated team we have at Barrow, willing to accept the challenge when others can’t. They’re also a reflection of the commitment of people like you toward ensuring that our doctors and scientists have the resources they need to conduct the cutting-edge research, patient care and medical education that make Barrow a premier neuroscience institute. Thank you for accepting the challenge of supporting the world’s leading specialists at Barrow. As you read through this year’s impact report, you’ll see incredible examples of your gifts at work, and I hope you’re inspired to continue partnering with Barrow to make a difference for patients in our community and throughout the world. With gratitude,

Accepting the Challenge
For Kara Kara Dunn, a 20 year-old University of Arizona pre-med student, was traveling through Spain with a friend when she suddenly began experiencing paralysis in her face. It continued to spread throughout her body, and within hours of arriving at the nearest hospital, she had lost movement in her arms, hands, legs and feet. Her family rushed to Spain to have her medically airlifted to Barrow, where they knew she’d receive the best care available. “We wanted to bring Kara home as soon as possible, but we first needed to make sure she would be transferred to the hospital most experienced in treating neurological conditions,” says her brother Ryan. When she arrived, she was largely paralyzed and couldn’t walk on her own. Kara says, “I had three hours of occupational therapy and physical therapy every day for three weeks, and I feel like that made all the difference for my prognosis. I recovered more quickly than anticipated.” Barrow provides all levels of therapy along the rehabilitation continuum utilizing the latest robotic and electrical stimulation technology while offering innovative patient care. There are comprehensive inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs consisting of physical, occupational and speech therapy with therapists dedicated to individualized care for each person served. Dr. Christina Kwasnica, medical director of neuro-rehabilitation, was right there beside her, accepting the challenge of helping Kara relearn to walk and return to school. Kara felt Dr. Kwasnica and the Barrow team went above and beyond just providing therapy; they took care of her as a person. “Barrow has a great reputation, and in my experience, it really did live up to those expectations,” says Kara. Just months after her paralysis began, Kara is walking again and has returned to college, now keeping the patient’s perspective in mind as she works to become a doctor.

Innovative Spine Surgery Nationally, less than 10 percent of spine surgeons can perform minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery, because there’s a steep learning curve to the complex procedures. However, there are many patient benefits to the procedures, including a shorter recovery period with less pain. At Barrow, surgeons accept the challenge of offering life-changing treatments few others can. Dr. Laura Snyder is a Barrow neurosurgeon who not only performs MIS surgery, but also conducts research on three surgical techniques to determine which is the most beneficial for patients. Dr. Snyder’s research will help improve patient care and outcomes by informing surgeons about the risks and benefits of each type of MIS surgical technique, allowing them to make the best surgical decision for each patient.
Concussion Care for the Most Vulnerable The Domestic Violence Traumatic Brain Injury Program was created in 2012 to provide care to survivors who suffered a brain injury as a result of domestic violence. In a Barrow study, 92 percent of domestic violence survivors were struck in the head more than once, and 81 percent were hit in the head too many times to count. Yet there was no dedicated care for this population. The Barrow program is the first in the nation where survivors can access free comprehensive concussion care. Sarah (whose name was changed to protect her identity) came to the program using a walker and didn’t want to live. But after several months of treatment and therapy, she is recovering. Sarah says, “They healed me from the inside out and made me who I am today. I went from not wanting to live, to having a future.”

Help for Headache and Migraine Sufferers Barrow is one of the few institutions in the Southwest with a dedicated infusion center for patients with headaches and migraines. Dr. Kerry Knievel, director of the Jan & Tom Lewis Migraine Treatment Program, leads a team of headache experts. They utilize the latest tools and knowledge to accurately diagnose migraines, and offer the experience and technology to minimize their effects on patients’ daily lives. When Jennifer Story saw Dr. Knievel after suffering from migraines her entire life, she felt for the first time that a doctor understood her pain. She says, “I can’t tell you what it’s like to be pain-free when I wake up in the morning. It is absolutely amazing and refreshing to open my eyes. The treatment is amazing. It has been a life-changing experience for me.”

Accepting the Challenge
To Cure Brain Cancer The Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation has the long-term, ultimate goal to cure brain cancer. The Ivy Foundation funds cutting-edge research and is the largest non-government organization supporting brain tumor research in the world. Led by Catherine Ivy, the Foundation is a tireless advocate for brain tumor patients. “We are dedicated to this effort because funding leads to answers, and answers lead to hope,” says Catherine. In 2018, The Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation made a transformational $25 million grant to Barrow, which will be matched by the Barrow Neurological Foundation, to infuse $50 million into the search for a cure for brain cancer. Barrow researchers, led by Dr. Nader Sanai, will dramatically accelerate and intensify the testing of drugs on brain tumors in the newly formed Ivy Brain Tumor Center, which operates the world’s largest Phase 0/2 clinical trials program for brain tumors. “The more we discover, the more we can do to help patients and their families. Our Foundation has examined medical and research programs throughout the United States and even internationally,” says Catherine. “After years of assessing numerous options, we have decided to invest in the Ivy Brain Tumor Center at Barrow. We think Dr. Sanai and the new Ivy Brain Tumor Center is our best bet.” Dr. Sanai and his team are accepting the challenge by offering Phase 0/2 clinical trials, in which a patient receives a small dose of a drug the day before surgery to remove the tumor. During the operation, doctors collect the patient’s samples and immediately test for the effectiveness of the drug. If the drug did not affect the tumor, the patient is offered other therapies. If it did, the patient moves to Phase 2 and receives a higher dose. This approach is a unique form of personalized medicine, and thanks to the support of The Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation, Barrow is leading the movement to quickly identify drugs that will save lives. The new center will ultimately mean that every patient in the world, regardless of diagnosis or state of the tumor, will have the individualized option for an innovative therapy. “This gift will fast track discovery and offer support and hope to those battling brain tumors,” says Dr. Sanai. “The formation of the center will propel our innovative research model to a new level as we put a laser focus on seeking a cure in the next decade.”

Innovation in Alzheimer’s As many as 5.4 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, and many of them feel disheartened given the lack of effective treatment options currently available. Clinical trials are critical to discovering new ways to detect, diagnose and treat Alzheimer’s disease. Assistant Professor of Imaging Research, Dr. Ashley Stokes, uses imaging technology to study biomarkers, which will be vital in the early detection of Alzheimer’s and in monitoring the effectiveness of new treatments. Her research helps physicians like Dr. Anna Burke, director of the Alzheimer’s and Memory Disorders Program, make earlier diagnoses and better monitor Alzheimer’s progression. Dr. Burke leads several clinical trials for investigational drugs to treat Alzheimer’s and would benefit from having biomarkers to determine if a drug is effective. Together, Dr. Burke and Dr. Stokes accept the challenge of helping patients detect and treat Alzheimer’s disease with better precision and outcomes.

Hope for Parkinson’s Breakthroughs The basic principles for identifying Parkinson’s disease haven’t changed in the two centuries since Dr. James Parkinson first observed the disease. Dr. Ryan Walsh is leading Barrow’s efforts in accepting the challenge to find better ways to diagnose Parkinson’s. He theorizes that combining three types of MRIs will reveal underlying factors for the disease. “In Parkinson’s disease, we know there is damage to the functional networks, the structural networks and blood flow, but we don’t know how those things correlate,” he says. By developing MRIbased analyses of brain networks, Dr. Walsh can uncover underlying cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson’s, which may lead to better diagnostics, measurement of the disease’s progress, understanding of why someone is responding to treatment and, ultimately, the key to a cure.

To Develop the Next Generation of Neuroscience Experts An American has a stroke on average every 40 seconds and worldwide, stroke is the second-leading cause of death. The best care for stroke is provided by highlytrained physicians who understand the intricacies of dealing with this critical and potentially disabling disease. Every person experiences stroke differently and having a skilled physician can help them mitigate its impact. Accurate diagnosis, treatment and symptom management can lead to better outcomes. However, there just aren’t enough experts in stroke care to help the growing patient population and their needs. Fellowships offer doctors specialized training and the opportunity to learn from the very best doctors at Barrow. Last year, Dr. Roy Zhang served as the Woodlyn T. Kendrick Fellow within the Barrow Stroke Program. Through the fellowship, he had the opportunity to conduct research, practice specialized patient care, train with top neurovascular experts and participate in unique educational courses. Because of the unique opportunities available at Barrow, Dr. Zhang also had the chance to answer calls from the Barrow Emergency Stroke Treatment Unit (BESTU), a specially equipped ambulance that brings stroke care to patient homes. The mobile unit is currently one of just 10 in the nation and is the first in the United States to operate around the clock in a city with a population greater than one million. Utilizing telemedicine, Dr. Zhang treated patients remotely, helping reduce the all-important treatment time for those who suffered a stroke. In one instance, Dr. Zhang was the doctor on call who diagnosed a patient with an ischemic stroke and ordered the clot-busting drug tPA within 20 minutes of the initial 911 call. Faster treatment for stroke patients lowers their risk of sustaining long-term disability. He followed up with patients after their admission to the hospital and ensured stroke victims received a halo of complete care through clinic visits from the moment of the incident through to long term recovery. Through his specialized fellowship training, Dr. Zhang helped Barrow revolutionize stroke care in the Phoenix community. Having completed his fellowship in June, Dr. Zhang is currently an attending physician in the Neurovascular Division at Barrow. These education programs are critical to preparing the next generation of leading neuroscience specialists to accept the challenge of changing the course of medicine.

Learning from the World’s Top Neurosurgeon While medical education programs are typically comprised of med students, residents or fellows, each summer Barrow President and CEO Dr. Michael Lawton helps shape the future generation of neurosurgeons by teaching undergraduate interns. He guides young adults in exploring neurosurgery by exposing them to patient care, research and his administrative duties. The internship is one of the most hands on and comprehensive in neurosurgery for undergrads. Barrow’s Scientific Enrichment Program for Students offers similar learning opportunities for high school students. Oliver Tang, an intern last summer and senior at Brown University, said he was able to witness complex surgeries that he only read about in books. He plans to go to medical school next year, saying, “Working under Dr. Lawton is a dream come true. He is intensely inspiring, making time for and giving his all in whatever he does: leading, surgery, research, teaching and mentoring.”

Fellows Train in Highly Specialized Care Barrow accepts the challenge of training the next generation of specialists through our premier fellowships. In the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center, fellows receive in depth training in a variety of movement disorders. Dr. Ronak Vora was a fellow under Dr. Abraham Lieberman’s leadership and gained experience working in several clinical trials and research studies, as well as in conducting patient visits. Each month, Dr. Vora served almost 200 patients with movement disorders. He says, “The fellowship made me a better doctor because I got to learn from a wide variety of perspectives.” Dr. Vora graduated from the fellowship in the spring and is currently leading the development of a movement disorders program in a high-needs community in Orange County, California. Barrow graduates like Dr. Vora not only help hundreds of patients during their fellowships, but they impact patients around the country and the world thanks to the expertise gained at Barrow.

Making a Worldwide Impact Barrow is renowned for neurology and neurosurgery education, attracting scholars and practitioners from around the world. Throughout the year, international observers travel to Barrow from countries near and far to learn from the experts at Barrow. When international scholars return to their home countries, they expand Barrow’s reach on a global level. Last year Dr. Peter Nakaji, director of the Neurosurgery Residency Program, mentored two visiting scholars who conducted neuroanatomical research. The researchers, Claudio Cavallo from Italy and Xiaochun Zhao from China, wanted to better understand the anatomy of the brain to plan for difficult surgeries. Often, patients with complicated neurological diseases, such as those with brain tumors near the base of the skull, get rejected by neurosurgeons elsewhere because the disease is in a tough-to-reach area. The researchers were able to work with Barrow neurosurgeons to map and plan the route for a variety of difficult surgeries using models, diagnostic images and cadavers. Through mentoring international scholars, Barrow helps improve neurological care worldwide.

To Help Other Patients When Sam Garvin, Vice Chairman of the Phoenix Suns, had to decide where the ambulance should take his wife, he told them to take her to Barrow. He knew that was where she’d receive the very best care. Rita Garvin was not feeling well and had been experiencing headaches all day. In the evening, she passed out and later learned she had suffered a ruptured aneurysm. Because of the urgency of the situation, she was taken to the nearest hospital to their home but Sam immediately reached out to Barrow to get his wife the help she needed. Barrow President and CEO Dr. Michael Lawton was instrumental in arranging Rita’s emergency surgery and she underwent the procedure with Barrow neurosurgeon, Dr. Andrew Ducruet. Within a couple of days of discharge, she was in therapy at the Center for Transitional Neuro-Rehabilitation (CTN), under the direction of Dr. Pamela Klonoff. Rita feels that her experience at Barrow was very comprehensive. She says, “Barrow, to my family and to me, saved my life…I am at a loss for words. It’s a huge part of my life. It gave me a second chance.” Rita feels grateful for the doctors, therapists and nurses she met. She felt Barrow took care of her as a whole person and that the rehabilitation process was extraordinary. The medical team included her husband and adult children throughout her care. She had such a positive experience that she continues to keep in touch with some of the other patients she met. Rita attributes the strong bond to the caring therapists at CTN who foster a contagiously positive environment for patients, and in turn, impact their outlook on life. Rita also adds, “Everybody goes above and beyond.” Once she recovered, she and her husband wanted to give back to Barrow, accepting the challenge to help our doctors and researchers change the course of medicine for others. She explains, “We had such a positive experience and we wanted to impact other people to take advantage of Barrow. We can partner with the experts to give them the resources they need to change other people’s lives.” Their gifts to benefit aneurysm research and the CTN program not only support the work Barrow does today, but also the studies and equipment that will lead to better treatments tomorrow.
