In this episode of the Healthcare Plus Podcast, Dan Collard welcomes Céu Cirne-Neves, MPA, FACHE. With over 25 years' experience as a healthcare executive, she now serves as a faculty member in the undergraduate and graduate health administration programs at Rutgers University.They discuss insights Céu has gained from her unusual path, which led her from her first job in healthcare marketing to chief administrative officer and finally to academia. At Rutgers she's observed major differences in today's students vs. those of years past (for instance: they're far more focused and specific on what they want, and very intentional about gaining the competencies and resources needed to achieve it).Céu shares her recent idea for drawing undecided students into the Healthcare Administration major by building an exploratory course based on Quint Studer's book The Calling: Why Healthcare is So Special. (“I feel healthcare is more than a job,” she says. “I'm trying to make it enticing for them to see the difference they can make through healthcare administration.”) Filled with practical takeaways, this episode will appeal to anyone seeking more understanding on what drives the next generation of Health Administration students, how to help them connect to their calling early, and how to develop and mentor them.About Céu Cirne-Neves, MPA, FACHECéu Cirne-Neves, MPA, FACHE, is a healthcare executive with more than 25 years of experience in senior level positions and has made a successful leadership transition as full-time faculty at the Rutgers University EJ Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.

Kayal, MD, FAAOS, FAAHKS is the founder, president, and CEO of Kayal Orthopaedic Center located in northern New Jersey and New York. Dr. Kayal is the husband of Kim S. Kayal, RN and father of their six children: Katlyn Madeline, Michaela Noel, Robert Joseph, Shannon Isabella, Mia Grace, and Luke Christopher. Dr. Kayal is the proud grandfather (or "Gido") of their newest family addition, Hope Madeline. During the last twenty-five years, Dr. Kayal built one of the most successful multi-specialty orthopaedic medical practices in the United States, and in 2021, in one of the most substantial health care transactions ever to close, he partnered with RWJBarnabas Health, the largest and most comprehensive health care system in New Jersey. Dr. Kayal considers it an honor, pleasure, blessing and privilege to help restore an active lifestyle and joyful life to each of his patients. He gives all his thanks to God for his talents and skills and prays his practice will always be used to honor, glorify, and exalt his awesome Triune God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Specializing in partial and total joint replacements, sports medicine, and arthroscopy, Dr. Kayal knows the importance of staying abreast of the latest technologies. By keeping his finger on the pulse of innovation, he can provide beneficial treatments to help patients recover quickly. “What you'll find here aren't just state-of-the-art facilities. It's an entire philosophy,” says Dr. Kayal. With both New Jersey and New York locations, the award-winning practice prides itself on offering advanced orthopaedic treatments in a compassionate environment. As a patient, “you aren't just a number,” says Dr. Kayal. “We're focused on building lifelong relationships, accelerating rehabilitation, and inspiring quality of life. Besides the Kayal Orthopaedic Center, Dr. Kayal's practice includes centers for Pain & Spine, Rheumatology, Chiropractic & Physical Therapy, bone metabolism, and advanced, high-resolution, cross-sectional medical imaging. These facilities allow him to provide a wider range of musculoskeletal treatments and therapies. “I believe our patients do their homework and choose this practice because of our training, skill, experience, and innovation,” Dr. Kayal says. “But what they also find from us is patience, compassion, and a genuine concern and commitment to each and every one of them.” The Kayal Orthopaedic Center is also dedicated to staying abreast of the latest treatments and technologies in each specialist's field of expertise. Years ago, Dr. Kayal and his team of orthopaedic surgeons began using the Stryker Mako robot, a sophisticated instrument that allows for greater precision and control during partial and total hip and knee replacement surgeries. This customized joint replacement technology, using the Mako robot, in combination with high-resolution cross-sectional medical CT scan imaging and Stryker's proprietary software, ensures accurate sizing, placement, fit, balance, alignment, and rotation of installed components, much akin to being fitted with a "tailor-made suit." At Kayal Orthopaedic Center, this Mako robotic technology has also been used in combination with the minimally invasive direct anterior approach (DAA) for hip replacement surgery. “You can be certain that the Kayal team has done its homework and is ready to provide our patients with the best treatment approaches available,” says Dr. Kayal. The philosophy of Kayal Orthopaedic Center is to provide every patient with the pain-free, active lifestyle they deserve. With decades of orthopaedic surgery experience, Dr. Robert Kayal and his staff provide comprehensive care that gives patients the one-on-one attention they need. Kayal Orthopaedic Center uses a patient-focused approach that has a proven track record of success. Dr. Kayal has built his practice around highly trained surgeons and specialists, innovative treatments, and state-of-the-art equipment. “Our philosophy is that the most beneficial service is the one that offers the best outcome for each unique patient,” Dr. Kayal says. “We offer everything our patients may need under one roof,” says Dr. Kayal. As of November 2024, Robert A. Kayal, MD, FAAOS has 666 five-star ratings on healthgrades.com. On the practice's website, Dr. Kayal says patients aren't just a number and that the office's patient experience is second to none. “We're focused on building lifelong relationships, accelerating rehabilitation, and inspiring quality of life,” says Dr. Kayal. Kayal Orthopaedic Center is a proud sponsor and supporter of many local non-profit organizations. Furthermore, the office also works to support local and state police departments by sponsoring golf outings and providing meals to the men and women in blue. Also, as a preceptorship for many physician assistant educational programs in both NY and NJ, Kayal Orthopaedic Center offers shadowing opportunities for students as part of its commitment to the next generation of healthcare providers.

The robotic-assisted biopsy platform Ion is a “game-changer” for patients with lung cancer, as it provides a quicker, less invasive surgical method for conducting a lung biopsy, according to Richard Lazzaro, MD. In a conversation with CancerNetwork, Lazzaro, the chief of Thoracic Surgery at the Southern Region of RWJBarnabas Health, spoke about his experience with adopting the Ion robotic bronchoscopy platform for the early detection of lung cancer at Monmouth Medical Center. He highlighted how the tool may enable practices to acquire tissue and perform disease staging with fewer complications, which may particularly benefit those who plan to undergo induction chemotherapy or immunotherapy. In terms of other potential advancements in the lung cancer surgery field, Lazzaro discussed how he anticipates the use of video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) surgery to evolve. Specifically, he mentioned the development of technologies such as augmented reality as tools that may help minimize the variability of surgical procedures. Regarding his practice, Lazzaro highlighted how a multidisciplinary thoracic tumor board—including medical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and pulmonary physicians, among others—has helped in producing long-term survival improvements. He emphasized collective discussions and shared decision-making as part of determining appropriate courses of care for his patients. When it comes to a multidisciplinary approach, Lazzaro stated that “you want to take care of patients” like they were part of “your family.” Overall, Lazzaro noted how the lung cancer treatment landscape has changed over time. He emphasized referring patients for CT scans as well as evaluations at nodule or thoracic oncology clinics as part of a multidisciplinary strategy. “The management of lung cancer is different than it was even 5 years ago. If we can detect lung cancer early, we have options for treating patients today that we never had before,” Lazzaro said. “This is the time where we really need to make a huge difference in lung cancer.” Reference Latest most advanced treatments for lung cancer now available at Monmouth Medical Center.

Carly has experience in secondary and professional settings, as well as experience in emergency medicine and care. Carly grew up as a multi-sport athlete, which she believes helps her exceed in her role as an athletic trainer. Being able to relate to the mindset of her athletes in all settings helps her connect with them and understand their desire to return to play as fast as possible, while being able to once again perform to the best of their abilities. Dominique Peters, MS, ATC is a full-time athletic trainer with JAG-ONE Physical Therapy serving Trenton Catholic Preparatory Academy in Trenton, NJ.

She graduated with a Master's degree in athletic training in 2022. Sean Doyle, ATC serves as a full time Athletic Trainer for JAG-ONE Physical Therapy serving the Somerville Public School District in NJ.

After starting his career at Holy Cross Academy, Sean joined the athletic training team serving Somerville High School through RWJBarnabas Health, and he took on an additional role coaching with the Performance Fitness team. This new added focus on fitness training helped Sean become a more balanced athletic trainer while still using his high level of customer service with every client. A graduate from the athletic training program at Rowan University, Sean is always looking to pursue furthering his education in every aspect of athletic training. Joseph Savoia (Joe Sav oi ya), MS, ATC is an athletic trainer with 20 years of experience.
