NEW HOSPITAL 

Shands, 

the next t generation 

On Nov. 1, Shands HealthCare opened the new 

500,000-square-foot, $388-million Shands Cancer 

Hospital at UF. An extension of the Shands at UF academic 

medical center, the new tower features 192 private 

beds b and also houses the Shands Critical Care Center 

for emergency and trauma services. This month, The 

POST T brings you some tidbits about the new addition.

If the new Shands Cancer Hospital at UF were a 

person, it would be a woman. From the undulating 

lines of the foyer — marketed as “The Sail” by the 

building’s architects — to the soft, secondary colors used 

throughout, this building wants to comfort and nurture. 


What you’ve read about the new Shands Cancer Hospital undoubtedly focuses on 

what the facility has — the 192 private beds, the snazzy glassed-in exterior stairwell, 

the Aquilion One 320-detector row CT scanner. But as the hospital propels itself into 

the 21st century, it is also defi ned by what it left behind: 

Operating ampitheather 

ampitheather. Forget those television vignettes with concerned 

physicians looking over a surgery from on high. The 12 operating rooms at the Shands 

Cancer Hospital provide unprecedented ability for the clinicians to share and save 

almost any clinical event of a typical surgery. 

Flat-screen monitors and at least two mobile computer workstations can capture a 

real-time overview of the operating room and the surgical fi eld, endoscopic and similar 

images, patient vital signs and other clinical data. Up to four images can be captured 

and displayed on a single screen simultaneously, allowing physicians to process 

disparate information quickly and eliminating the need for separate computers. 

A conventional hospital kitchen. For the fi rst several months of operation, the 

Shands Food and Nutrition Services team at Shands Cancer Hospital will plate patient 

meals with food prepared at the main kitchen on the Shands at UF North Campus. 

Starting July 1, patients in the new building will be able to order meals from the 

Shands Cancer Hospital’s own kitchen as they would from room service at a hotel — 

from a broad menu during kitchen hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The kitchen staff will have 

real-time electronic access to information showing each patient’s dietary needs; they 

will even be alerted when a patient fails to order a meal as expected. 

The Shands at UF kitchen was designed to enable staff to prepare 1,200 patient 

meals per day for 400 patients, allowing them to expand with the growth of the Shands 

at UF South Campus. Eventually, Shands plans to build additional towers on the new 

campus to serve a total of 1,200 patients. 

Franchised restaurants for staff and visitors. The 122-seat Terrace Market Cafe on 

the third fl oor of the Shands Cancer Hospital is run by the same vendor company that 

operates the Shands at UF food court. This will offer the food service teams the 

fl exibility to switch out menu items to refl ect the season or customer preferences, 

Shands Food Service Director Bill Notte said. 

Overhead fl uorescent lights. In corridors where patients will be transported across 

the hospital, architects have banished glaring overhead lights whenever possible in 

favor of softer, indirect lighting. Instead, patients will see art on the ceiling, at least in 

the elevators. 

Tiny windows. Current technology makes possible the oversized energy-effi cient 

windows and shades at the Shands Cancer Hospital, but the decision to install them is 

driven by a desire to bring as much light into a patient’s room as possible, said Brad 

Pollitt, Shands HealthCare’s vice president for facilities. The shank of the building sits 

close to Archer Road, but the windows’ coating will refl ect heat and light without 

blinding nearby drivers and pedestrians. 

To ensure that nurses have visual access to each patient, a glassed-in charting area 

off the corridor straddles every two rooms. 

All of the features of the hospital were designed for the eventual transition of all 

patient care in Shands at UF to the South Campus. The North Campus would focus on 

teaching and academic activities, Pollitt said. P

The evolution of 

EMERGENCY MEDICINE 


Dr. Joseph Adrian Tyndall stands in the new emergency department at the 

Shands Critical Care Center. 

By April Frawley Birdwell 

The emergency department at Shands at UF was built to handle about 25,000 

patients a year. The problem was about 55,000 people were coming. 

“We have a huge catchment, 13 counties. We provide care for a lot of people,” 

said Joseph Adrian Tyndall, M.D., chair of the College of Medicine department of 

emergency medicine. “We were at 55,000 patient visits a year in essentially the same 

square footage. That led to problems of crowding and throughput. We were doing this 

while trying to advance teaching and academics in that clinical space.” 

Before 1984, the hospital’s emergency department had been tucked in an even 

smaller space near what are now the hospital’s loading docks. So, the idea of moving to 

a center three times the size with double the number of patient spaces — quadruple if 

needed — wasn’t just an ordinary, let’s-pack-the-stethoscopes-and-go kind of moment 

for the department. Its Nov. 1 move to the Shands Critical Care Center, which houses 

emergency and trauma services, was a colossal shift and huge step forward in the 

advancement of emergency medicine at UF. 

During the past two decades, emergency medicine at UF has evolved from a division 

within the department of surgery to a full-fl edged department with a residency 

program, a Level 1 trauma center and a staff of physicians board-certifi ed in providing 

emergency care. 

Now, the department has a space where doctors can see 100,000 patients a year. Also, 

it’s probably the only emergency department in the country with a 320-detector row 

CT scanner — a powerful imaging device that can help doctors diagnose conditions in 

minutes instead of hours or even days — just down the hall. 

“A lot of communities don’t have this kind of advanced care,” Tyndall said. “I am 

proud of it.” 

The department began working with management engineers a year and a half ago to 

walk them through how patients are seen, information that was used to help design 

the space and plan staffi ng. 

Because the new emergency department is bigger than the old Shands at UF and the 

Shands AGH emergency areas combined — and because Shands AGH closed — the 

nursing and ancillary staff was almost doubled to meet the needs of patients. Several 

new faculty members have joined the department as well, and more could be 

recruited next year, Tyndall says. 

“I look at this as the beginning step of being able to take even better care of 

patients,” Tyndall said. “It’s not just the physical space or the equipment. It is the 

people involved. It is the process of making sure the entire institution focuses on 

throughput so patients can be quickly seen and moved to where they need to be. It is 

the recognition of all of that. This move is just the beginning.” P

novel design concepts and overlooks the Garden of Hope. 

Goinggreen 

By Kimberly Rose 

So, you’ve read about the 192 beds, the fancy 320-slice 

scanner and the other advances of the new hospital. 

Did we mention it’s pretty green, too? 

The commitment to use environmentally sustainable 

construction methods to build the hospital earned Shands 

HealthCare the silver Leadership in Energy and 

Environmental Design designation per the U.S. Green 

Building Council rating system. 

“We used insulated windows that are treated to reduce 

solar glare and white rooftops designed to refl ect heat,” said 

Brad Pollitt, Shands HealthCare vice president for facilities. 

“The facility’s air-conditioning heat wheels help to recover 

lost energy, and irrigation and drainage systems use 

reclaimed water. We provide showers for employees who bike 

to work and special parking for hybrid cars.” 

Pollitt says Shands is now being considered for gold-level 

LEED certifi cation and could be one of a few academic 

medical centers nationwide to achieve this rating. 

Shands also partnered with Gainesville Regional Utilities 

to establish the GRU South Energy Center to provide 100 

percent of the hospital’s energy needs. The on-site power 

plant will ensure uninterrupted power, independent of the 

city’s energy grid, regardless of a prolonged outage elsewhere 

in the community. It will effi ciently convert fuel into 

electricity and provide 46 percent savings compared with 

traditional fossil fuel-burning generations. Offi cials estimate 

this will save 27 million kilowatts per year, enough to power 

about 3,000 homes. P

They rushed to Alachua General Hospital. Thirteen

But on a steamy October day, Hanrahan said 

goodbye to the place where she and her daughter 

entered the world during a tribute to honor the 

hospital, which closed its doors after 81 years Nov. 1. 

“It is like anything in life, you have to work past the

said Jodi Mansfi eld, chief operating offi cer for Shands 

HealthCare, whose children also were born at AGH. 

“They had a gala party that the entire community 

came to,” said Timothy Goldfarb, CEO of Shands 

HealthCare. “Interesting enough, exactly nine months 

later the fi rst baby was born at AGH.” 

The hospital grew, admitting as many as 3,600 

patients a year during the 1930s and 1940s, and its 

name was changed from Alachua County Hospital to 

Alachua General Hospital in 1949. By the 1950s, the 

hospital had 176 beds and its own nursing school, 

Mansfi eld said. The nursing school, in operation from 

1945 to 1957, disbanded when the UF College of 

Nursing opened. 

In 1996, Shands bought the hospital, which by the 

time of its closing had grown to be a 377-bed facility 

with 1,150 employees. But because of declining 

revenues and budget shortfalls, the decision was made 

last year to close the hospital, relocating its services to 

Shands at UF as well as the new Shands Cancer 

Hospital and Shands Critical Care Center. 

All but a few of the hospital’s employees have 

transferred to positions within Shands HealthCare.

Interim dean earns top job in PHHP 

By Jill Pease 

Michael G. Perri, Ph.D., has been named dean of the UF 

College of Public Health and Health Professions. 

Perri joined the college’s faculty in 1990 and has served as the interim dean since June 

2007. A professor in the department of clinical and health psychology, Perri has held several 

administrative positions in the college including associate dean for research and head of the health 

psychology division. 

“Under the leadership of (nursing dean and associate provost) Kathleen Long, Ph.D., R.N., as chair of 

the search committee, we conducted a vigorous national search for this critical position at the Health 

Science Center and University of Florida,” said Joseph Glover, Ph.D., provost and senior vice president for 

academic affairs. “After reviewing an extremely strong fi eld of fi nalists, the search committee was 

uniformly supportive of Dr. Perri as the best fi t for the next dean of the College of Public Health and 

Health Professions. I enthusiastically concur.” 

Perri’s research fi ndings have had a signifi cant impact on theory, research and clinical care related to 

behavioral treatment of obesity. He has contributed to more than 120 scientifi c publications and has served 

as principal investigator or co-investigator for more than $30 million in research grants and contracts 

from the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Veterans Affairs and private industry. His 

current studies involve the development of effective programs for the management of obesity in 

underserved rural communities. In 2008, Perri received the American Psychological Association’s Samuel 

M. Turner Award for Distinguished Contributions to Applied Research in Clinical Psychology. 

“UF and its Health Science Center will benefi t greatly from Dr. Perri as the dean of the College of 

Public Health and Health Professions,” said David S. Guzick, M.D., Ph.D., senior vice president for health 

affairs and president of the UF&Shands Health System. “During his tenure as interim dean, Dr. Perri 

successfully spearheaded the college’s public health accreditation. He also stabilized a shaky fi nancial 

foundation and launched several initiatives to foster collaboration across public health and the health 

professions disciplines, including the establishment of a funding program for interdisciplinary pilot 

studies and the founding of the Florida Trauma Rehabilitation Center for Returning Military Personnel.” 

Perri is a diplomate of the American Board of Professional Psychology and a fellow of the American 

Psychological Association, the Society of Behavioral Medicine and the Obesity Society. He was recently 

appointed associate editor of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, the leading peer-reviewed 

journal in the fi eld of clinical psychology. 

Perri earned his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Missouri - Columbia. Before 

arriving at UF he served on the faculty at the University of Rochester, Indiana University and Fairleigh 

Dickinson University. 

“I am honored and excited about the opportunity this appointment presents,” Perri said. “The college 

has accomplished a tremendous amount over the past fi ve years. We are now at the starting point to go on 

to more signifi cant achievements through our collaborative efforts in education, research and service.” P

UF vets fi rst to use new MRI unit to get better look k inside animals 

By Sarah Carey 

A 

new clinical imaging system now in place at the UF Veterinary 

Medical Center will enable veterinarians to obtain diagnostic 

images of previously inaccessible and larger parts of the body, 

such as the upper legs of horses, veterinarians say. 

The new 1.5 Tesla Titan MR, made by Toshiba, 

has never previously been used by any academic 

veterinary medical center in the United States and 

will provide private practitioners and pet owners 

with a highly sophisticated tool for pinpointing and 

treating disease in their animals. 

“There are many advantages to the Titan, 

notably its 71-centimeter patient aperture — known 

as the open bore — which will be a benefi t in 

examining large animals,” said Clifford “Kip” 

Berry, D.V.M., a professor of radiology at UF and 

chief of the VMC’s radiology service. 

Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is used in 

veterinary medicine to look inside an animal’s body 

to evaluate diseases and other problems. The new 

MR will provide veterinarians with a more detailed 

anatomic picture through high-resolution imaging 

and will enable them to image arterial and venous 

blood fl ow with the injection of an intravenous 

contrast medium, UF veterinarians said. 

Berry said the new equipment is “faster, bigger 

and better” than what has previously been available 

8 POST 

11 09 

and provides UF with one more powerful tool to 

give veterinarians and their clients the most 

advanced imaging services. 

“There is more space available inside the 

machine to accommodate patients, which should 

allow for better imaging of the mid to upper 

extremity of horses,” Berry said. “The Titan also is 

quieter than existing MR equipment, making it less 

likely that acoustic noise will awaken patients 

during diagnostic examinations.” 

The equipment is designed so animals should not 

have to be repositioned during an MR study. 

Veterinary technologists also have the fl exibility to 

load large animal patients into the equipment from 

the back end. 

The VMC’s new MR unit and the 8-slice 

multidetector row Toshiba Acquilion CT unit now 

available at UF are among the most powerful 

imaging tools currently available for veterinary 

diagnostics in the Southeast. 

The MR unit allows highly detailed images to be 

obtained in multiple planes of bone and soft tissue 


in all species. Foot, fetlock, suspensory ligaments, 

carpus, hock and heads can be examined through 

MRI in the horse, while spiral CT may be used for 

3-dimensional reconstruction in complex fracture 

repair planning of the extremity or stifl e in large 

animals. In small animals, both modalities are 

routinely applied to neurologic and orthopedic 

cases at the VMC, with additional studies 

performed for radiation planning and metastasis 

evaluations. 

“MR allows for exquisite distinction between 

normal and abnormal tissues,” Berry said. “The use 

of specialized sequences further increases the 

ability to distinguish between different types of 

pathology ranging from hemorrhagic infarctions to 

primary brain tumors and infl ammatory 

disorders.” 

Matthew Winter, D.V.M., an assistant professor 

of diagnostic imaging at UF’s VMC, added that 

MR also reveals bone, tendon and ligament 

pathology and can show bone bruising, meniscal 

damage and ligament tears that go undetected 

when using traditional radiography. 

“All of our radiologists have strong interests in 

cross-sectional imaging, which gives UF a unique 

ability to serve the advanced imaging needs of 

Florida veterinarians,” Winter said. P

Honoring artists 

History wall dedicated to Shands Arts in Medicine artists 

By Kim Libby 

Nineteen years ago, the Shands Arts in Medicine program began with just two artists and 

one bone marrow transplant unit. Today, it has grown to include visual, literary and 

performing artists and designers serving the entire Shands HealthCare community. 

The program has helped hundreds of people feel better, which made Allison Wickham and 

other volunteers decide to say thank you to those who make it happen. 

Wickham, a former intern and current employee of the program, coordinated the fi rst Artists 

Appreciation Day in 2008 as a way to celebrate and honor the artists and administrators. It included 

a half-hour long show and small trophies along with baskets of gifts. But as the program 

grew another year stronger, she knew the festivities had to grow with it. 

The second annual event was held Sept. 24 as a luncheon for 12 artists, program administrators 

and infl uential volunteers. At the event, an oral history wall was unveiled and dedicated to 

the artists. It includes biographies of everyone from the program’s founders to current staff, 

with quotes and messages from volunteers and administrators about their work. 

The wall, currently on display outside the AIM offi ce, will be preserved on a 30-by-60-inch 

piece of Plexiglas and moved to a new location at Shands. 

For artist Paula Patterson, a dramatist in residence, the wall was a chance for her work to be 

immortalized. 

“Someday when I’m gone, my grandchildren can bring their kids to Shands hospital and see 

what a great program their grandmother was a part of,” she said. 

Wickham hopes the event will grow each year with increasing support and is already brainstorming 

ideas with fellow volunteers for 2010. 

“This year, the wall was a great chance for everyone to walk down memory lane,” she said. P

Thanks to a grant from a Good Samaritan and 

UF Veterinary Medical Center cardiologists, 

Tucker, a 2-year-old golden retriever with 

severe heart disease and no other chance for help, is 

back home in Fort Myers, Fla., with a new leash, er, 

lease, on life. 

“Today I walked him and he walked me 70 percent 

of the time,” said Anne Liebermann, Tucker’s 

owner. “He was really raring to go. When we fi rst 

got him at the age of 4 months, he could do about a 

block and that was it.” 

His condition worsened to the point that he 

showed increasing signs of stress, including fainting, 

with minimal exercise and exertion. 

“We knew when we got him that he was sick,” 

Liebermann said. “We didn’t have the cash or the 

funds to do anything other than normal maintenance 

but just decided we would give him as good a 

life as we could while he was with us.” 

Liebermann brought Tucker to Gainesville in 

mid-September on the advice of her veterinarian, 

who had learned about a congenital heart disease 

study underway at the VMC. The veterinarian believed 

Tucker might be a candidate. 

After examining the dog, however, Amara 

Estrada, D.V.M., an assistant professor of cardiolo- 

PATIENT CARE 

Shands Arts in Medicine volunteers Kelly Cuddihy and Jessica 

McElroy paused to check out the oral history wall on display outside 

the AIM offi ce near the Shands at UF cafeteria. 

Good Samaritan helps golden retriever get 

heart treatment 

gy, and her team determined Tucker did not qualify 

because his particular heart disease did not meet 

the study’s criteria. 

“He not only had really bad heart disease, his 

owner also was unable to afford an interventional 

procedure to treat him,” Estrada said. 

About two years ago, however, an anonymous client 

generously donated $4,000 to the cardiology 

service to help the owners of cats that suffered from 

heart disease but who could not afford care. 

Although Tucker was a dog, the funds had not 

been spent because there have not been any viable 

feline candidates, Estrada said. Cardiology resident 

Mandi Schmidt, D.V.M., contacted the donors to 

ask if they would allow Tucker’s medical expenses 

to be covered. The owners agreed. Soon thereafter, 

cardiologists performed a cardiac catheterization 

and effectively ballooned his pulmonary valve. 

A week after the procedure, Tucker was no longer 

fainting and his owner described him as “like a new 

dog,” Schmidt said. 

Liebermann added she had not realized how 

much Tucker’s illness had taken out of him. 

“If we hadn’t heard about the study at UF we 

never would have taken him up, so everything really 

fell into place,” she said. P

occupational therapist Cathi Brown, M.Sc., O.T.R./L 

coax the horse to trot faster. Once P.J. slows down 

again, Brown has Christopher place his hands on his 

helmet to work on his balance. 

Christopher hardly realizes he is doing therapy. He just thinks it’s fun. 

Christopher has autism. Bryan Williams, the boy’s father, said they have been 

coming to Horses Helping People, or HOPE, an organization that specializes in 

serving people with disabilities through equine-assisted therapy, since April. 

Sessions at HOPE have replaced the at-home therapy Christopher used to 

receive. Bryan Williams says his son is more alert and responsive than before he 

started going to HOPE. 

Started in 2000, HOPE relies solely on donations and help from volunteers,

including many from UF’s Health Science Center. 

Amy Anderson, a riding instructor at HOPE, is a student in the College of 

Public Health and Health Professions’ Master’s in Occupational Therapy 

program. Brown is a graduate of the program. 

Numerous members of the organization’s board of directors and advisory 

committee also work at the Health Science Center. 

Kristen Shimeall, HOPE’s executive director, says these people make a big 

difference for the people receiving therapy at HOPE. 

“Our riders get attached to our volunteers and look forward to seeing them 

every week,” Shimeall said. “For our riders, it’s not just coming out and riding a 

horse, they are developing bonds with both the volunteers and the horses.” 

HOPE operates at a 40-acre farm in Archer, Fla. 

Patients like Christopher benefi t from equine therapy because it focuses on 

improving their balance, coordination and fl exibility. Brown and volunteers play 

games with the patients and have them perform certain exercises while they ride 

the horses. Throwing a ball back and forth while atop the horse, for example, 

works on balance. 

Patients begin their therapy sessions by brushing and dressing the horse for 30 

minutes, with help from an occupational therapist. Shimeall said the repetitive 

actions involved help improve sensory perception and memory. 

Stephanie Helinger, 21, an animal science major in UF’s College of 

Agriculture, began volunteering at HOPE in May. She prepares the horses and 

leads them during therapy sessions. 

“I know how much horses have really helped me in my life, and I can really 

imagine how much help they are to those with disabilities,” said Helinger, who 

began riding lessons when she was 10. “At fi rst the kids are quiet, but they really 

get into it. They make me more thankful for my life.” 

Dale Ginder, 7, comes to HOPE because he has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, 

the most common and fatal form of the disease. Dale’s muscles don’t produce 

dystrophin, which is what the muscles need to fi x themselves after even daily use. 

As he damages his muscles, they are being replaced with fat. 

“Ultimately, these boys die from heart and or lung failure since these are also 

muscles,” explained Rick Ginder, Dale’s father. “(For children with Duchenne), 

the progression is typically in a wheelchair by 10 or 12 and death in their early 

20s, sometimes younger and in some cases older. Later in life he will lose the use 

of most muscles and will need assistance with almost everything.” 

Riding horses at HOPE is one way Dale is making the most of his youth. 

“It is supposed to be one of the fun ways to maintain their core strength,” said 

Rick Ginder. “He sees it as learning to ride a horse rather than therapy. While 

his older brother does basketball and football, Dale gets to ride. 

“As parents we are trying to make his life as much like his friends so that he 

has memories to look back on when he won’t be able to do even these things.” P

Saving lives in 

22 

2 minutes or less … 

UF CPR & Safety Training Center 

expands to reach community 

By Kim Libby 

Training to save a life can now be accomplished 

in record time — just 22 minutes — thanks to 

a new course offered by the UF CPR & Safety 

Training Center. 

A part of the College of Medicine since July 1, the center is now offering “CPR 

Anytime” to anyone in the Gainesville community. 

Participants attend a live class for 20 minutes to learn the correct way to perform 

breaths, compressions and cycles, and leave with a kit to practice at home. The 

package includes an instructional video, a booklet from the American Heart 

Association and a personal CPR Mini Anne Manikin. The manikin features a tab for 

an adult or child and audible clicking during compressions to ensure the student is 

pressing hard enough into the sternum. The cost for the adult CPR course and kit is 

$30, while the cost for infant CPR is $35. 

“The goal with this program is for people to feel comfortable about giving bystander 

CPR,” said Victor Martinez, the program’s community outreach coordinator. “That 

way, if you ever feel unsure, you can just pop in the DVD and refresh your skills.” 

Even though the program does not certify a student in CPR, the training will 

ensure you are equally prepared, said Wes Henderson, program development 

coordinator. After a person becomes unresponsive for four to six minutes, brain 

damage is possible. The response time for emergency services can be seven minutes or 

longer, so taking action could save someone’s life, he said. 

The center plans to use the 20-minute program as part of their Gator Saver 

Initiative, which includes six events in the upcoming year throughout the community. 

The largest program is “CPR in the Schools.” The center plans to provide adult/child 

CPR Anytime kits to 2,000 graduating seniors of the Alachua County Public School 

System and offer them extra credit if they train fi ve family members, bringing the 

total to 10,000 people trained. 

The next main Gator Saver Initiative event is the Gator Saver Day, which will be 

held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 24. During this event, organizers will bring the 

20-minute CPR Anytime kits to participants throughout the Gainesville community 

in a mass training session. The center is hoping to raise $128,000 to cover the cost of 

all of the events it has planned for the year. 

“Right now, the national survival rate from sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital 

is 6 percent,” Henderson said. “Our goal is to increase that percentage so that individuals 

can be responsible and Gainesville can become a heart-safe community.” P

COVER STORY 


The HSC has received 75 grants totaling 

$72 million from the National Institutes 

of Health as part of the federal stimulus 

package. First, yay! But exactly how will 

this infusion of money help UF scientists in 

the long term and what does it mean for 

the community? This month, The POST 

explores these issues and shows how 

some scientists are using the one-timeonly 

opportunity to grow their research. 

oney doesn’t grow in Petri dishes. If it did, scientists would all drive fi re-engine 

red convertibles and the stagnating National Institutes of Health budget 

for research funding wouldn’t have hit science as hard as it did during the past 

few years. 

But after several years of heightened competition for dwindling health research dollars 

— a cut-throat environment that has made it particularly diffi cult for fl edgling scientists 

to get established — science got a bit of a welcome change this year. In February, 

Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), part of 

which promised several billion to the NIH and other agencies to dole out to scientists.


“It was like opening the spigot of a fi re hydrant,” says David Guzick, 

M.D., Ph.D., UF’s senior vice president for health affairs and president of 

the UF&Shands Health System. “We went from a very dry situation to one 

where all of a sudden we had to drink from the fi re hose of ARRA without 

leaving valuable opportunities scattered around us.” 

So far, about $5 billion in these one-time-only funds have been allotted 

to scientists across the country for research. Of that, UF Health Science 

Center researchers have received about $72 million from the NIH. The 

window of opportunity was small, too. After the NIH announced the availability 

of these funds, researchers had about 10 weeks to submit proposals. 

HSC faculty quickly submitted about 400 grant applications. 

“Our faculty were extraordinarily active in their grant submissions,” 

Guzick says. “And judging from the $72 million of results so far, they were 

extraordinarily meritorious in the quality of their science. And there are 

some grants that are still in the review process, so the fi nal fi gures could be 

a lot higher.” 

Aside from keeping scientists on the path toward discovery, this infusion 

of dollars to labs across campus could generate as many as 1,100 new jobs in 

the community, Guzick says. An investment in science here can have a multiplier 

effect down the road as innovation travels from the lab to companies 

that turn discoveries into commercial products and eventually to society, 

which benefi ts from better medicine and technology, he added. 

Seventy-fi ve NIH grants have been funded in the HSC alone, more than 

anywhere else in Florida. The money will help UF researchers study everything 

from diabetes and HIV to ethnic differences in pain and biomarkers 

for various diseases. The largest of these grants was awarded to investigator 

Marco Pahor, M.D., the director of UF’s Institute on Aging. Pahor’s grant is 

the largest federal award ever given to study the prevention of movement disability 

in older adults. 

In Pahor’s case, funding for his study will continue from other federal 

sources after the stimulus funds expire in two years. But for many researchers, 

the biggest question is what happens next? The stimulus funds were a 

one-time shot in the arm. Unless more federal dollars are pumped into 

funding science, many research projects started now might not continue. 

“In 2011, we might be in jeopardy,” says Stephen Sugrue, Ph.D., senior 

associate dean for research affairs in the College of Medicine. “Once you 

fi re up the engines to higher rpm’s it’s very diffi cult to downshift. When 

you downshift, you are laying people off, which causes many problems, and 

science suffers.” 

In an average year, for example, about one quarter of College of Medicine 

grants expire and only about 20 percent of those are renewed without interruption 

to funding, Sugrue says. With the extra competition sparked by the 

ARRA grants, renewals could become even tougher to get, too. 

Apart from what the future funding outlook holds, two other more immediate 

grant concerns could affect researchers’ chances of getting their 

grants funded in the upcoming year, Sugrue says. First, the NIH has 

changed how it scores popular R01 proposals. Instead of scoring the overall 

grant, review panels are now specifi cally scoring on fi ve individual categories: 

signifi cance, approach, innovation, investigator and environment. 

The NIH has also scaled down how long it wants grant proposals to be. 

Instead of 25 pages, proposals are required to be 12 pages starting in 

January. 

“Their goal is to really get away from the minutia of methodology and 

highlight the impact of the science and the training background of the researcher,” 

Sugrue says. “This is one of the big problems in science, we want 

to communicate in detail, but in doing so we may lose the big picture.” 

And getting all people to understand the big picture and what makes a 

scientifi c proposal signifi cant also could help government leaders appreciate 

why such projects should be funded, too. 

“The goal is anybody should be able to read the fi rst few pages of your 

proposalandgetit”Sugruesays proposal and get it,” Sugrue says. P

A little bit of 

Haitian n M.P.H. staff member gives 

back to homeland, commu community 

By Alyssa LaRenzie 

Slande Celeste is busy being fabulous. 

The line borrowed from The Eagles sums up the Haitian-born 

Master of Public Health internship coordinator to a T. She stays 

busy with her volunteer and public health education work, but it isn’t really 

work to her. It’s just fabulous. 

With a big smile and a hearty laugh, Celeste, whose fi rst name means 

“sunshine” in Creole, describes almost every aspect of her life as “fabulous.” 

Though she’s lived in the United States for most of her life, Celeste has 

traveled back to Haiti many times, most recently with a group of UF faculty 

and staff as part of the Sante pou Lavi project. Sante pou Lavi, which means 

“Health for Life” in Creole, hopes to set up a sustainable base for student 

learning, community service and research in Haiti. As the internship 

coordinator, Celeste is thrilled students will have the opportunity for 

international work in a location where help is needed. 

“We don’t want to go and do one-week trips because that only benefi ts the 

students,” Celeste said. “We want to be able to make a difference in the 

community as well as allow the M.P.H. students to develop practical skills.” 

As a Haitian-American, Celeste plays an important role in the group. On 

the last trip, she performed needs assessments for the communities and

Celeste’s knowledge of culture, language and health education makes her 

an invaluable member of the team, said Gina Murray, a member of Sante

Interdisciplinary Education. 

During her time as a UF student, Celeste was chosen for the Coca-Cola 

World Citizenship Program, working with the humanitarian organization 

World Vision International. Her knowledge of English, French and Creole 

allowed her to translate many important documents and conduct numerous 

assessments as she stayed in Haiti working for an extra year with the group. 

Seeking economic opportunities, Celeste’s parents moved to the U.S.

when she was a child, leaving her and her sister, Manoucheka, with their 

grandmother. As a Haitian child during the violent era of Jean-Claude 

Duvalier, known as Papa Doc’s son, Celeste can remember her grandma 

hiding her and her sister under the bed amid gunshots. 

Celeste followed her parents to the United States at 6 years old, fl ying into 

the John F. Kennedy Airport and experiencing frightening escalators and 

parking garages for the fi rst time. 

Celeste said she didn’t develop such a great appreciation for her culture 

until she moved away from her family’s home in Altamonte Springs, Fla., to 

Gainesville for school, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in health 

science education and her master’s of public health. Seeing so many 

different cultures opened her up to the importance of celebrating her own 

background. Eventually, her interests in public health and her heritage 

would merge and bring her back to her homeland. 

“That’s a huge part of our identity,” Manoucheka Celeste said. “To be able 

to do something positive rather than just going and vacationing. I think it’s 

a no-brainer for her.” 

Manoucheka said her sister, the oldest child, was always the leader of the 

pack when they were growing up. Now, the “worker bee” chooses how to 

spend her time carefully to spread the sunshine across many causes. 

Though many of her public health efforts focus on Haiti, Celeste keeps 

busy in her own community, too. A self-described “avid wannabe gardener,” 

Celeste volunteers with the Edible Plant Project, a nonprofi t nursery and 

collective. She also started two school gardens and one community garden 

during her time working as a health educator consultant for the Levy 

County Health Department. 

Celeste continues to work on the Sante pou Lavi project and is looking 

forward to the next trip later this fall. 

“She’s very positive. She never has anything negative to say. She’s always 

so gracious and complimentary,” Murray said. “She’s fabulous, what can I 

say?” P

Compounds in plant-based foods help fi ght obesity, disease 


The cheeseburger and French fries might look 

tempting, but eating a serving of broccoli or leafy 

greens fi rst could help people battle metabolic 

processes that lead to obesity and heart disease, a new 

UF study shows. 

Eating more plant-based foods, which are 

rich in substances called phytochemicals, 

seems to prevent oxidative stress in the 

body, a process associated with obesity and 

the onset of disease, according to fi ndings 

published online in advance of the print 

edition of the Journal of Human Nutrition 

and Dietetics. 

To get enough of these protective 

phytochemicals, researchers suggest eating 

plant-based foods such as leafy greens, 

fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes at the 

start of a meal. Using what is known as a 

phytochemical index, which compares the 

number of calories consumed from plantbased 

foods with the overall number of 

daily calories, could also help people make 

sure they remember to get enough 

phytochemicals during their regular meals 

and snacks, said Heather K. Vincent, Ph.D., 

the lead author of the paper. 

“We need to fi nd a way to encourage 

people to pull back on fat and eat more 

foods rich in micronutrients and trace 

minerals from fruits, vegetables, whole 

grains and soy,” said Vincent, an assistant 

professor in the UF Orthopaedics and 

Sports Medicine Institute. “Fill your plate 

with colorful, low-calorie, varied-texture 

foods derived from plants fi rst. By slowly 

eating phytochemical-rich foods such as 

salads with olive oil or fresh-cut fruits 

before the actual meal … you’re ensuring 

that you get the variety of protective, 

disease-fi ghting phytochemicals you need 

and controlling caloric intake.” 

The researchers studied a group of 54 

young adults, analyzing their dietary 

patterns over a three-day period, repeating 

the same measurement eight weeks later. The 

participants were broken into two groups: 

normal weight and overweight-obese. 

Although the adults in the two groups 

consumed about the same amount of 

calories, overweight-obese adults consumed 

fewer plant-based foods and subsequently 

fewer protective trace minerals and 

phytochemicals and more saturated fats. 

They also had higher levels of oxidative 

stress and infl ammation than their normalweight 

peers, Vincent said. These processes 

are related to the onset of obesity, heart 

disease, diabetes and joint disease, she 

added. 

“Diets low in plant-based foods affect 

health over the course of a long period of 

time,” Vincent said. “This is related to 

annual weight gain, low levels of 

infl ammation and oxidative stress. Those 

are the onset processes of disease that 

debilitate people later in life.” 

Oxidative stress occurs when the body 

produces too many damaging free radicals 

and lacks enough antioxidants or 

phytochemicals to counteract them. 

Because of excess fat tissue and certain 

enzymes that are more active in overweight 

people, being obese can actually trigger the 

production of more free radicals, too. 

Because many phytochemicals have 

antioxidant properties, they can help 

combat free radicals, Vincent said. 

Phytochemicals include substances such as 

allin from garlic, lycopene from tomatoes, 

isofl avones from soy, beta carotene from 

orange squashes and anythocyanins from 

red wine, among others. 

“People who are obese need more fruits, 

vegetables, legumes and wholesome 

unrefi ned grains,” she said. “In comparison 

to a normal-weight person, an obese person 

is always going to be behind the eight ball 

because there are so many adverse 

metabolic processes going on.” 

Instead of making drastic changes, people 

could substitute one or two choices a day 


HEATHER K. VINCENT, PH.D. 

with phytochemical-rich foods to make a 

difference in their diets, Vincent said. For 

example, substituting a cup of steeped plain 

tea instead of coffee or reaching for an 

orange instead of a granola bar could 

increase a person’s phytochemical intake for 

the day without even changing the feeling 

of fullness. Over time, replacing more 

pre-packaged snacks with fresh produce or 

low-sugar grains could become a habit that 

fi ghts obesity and disease, Vincent said. 

“We always want to encourage people to 

go back to the whole sources of food, the 

nonprocessed foods if we can help it,” 

Vincent said. “That would be the bottom 

line for anyone, regardless of age and body 

size, keep going back to the purer plantbased 

foods. Remember to eat the good 

quality food fi rst.” P

A trigger for colon cancer? 

UF fi nding sheds light on cells’ transition from colitis to cancer 

EMINA HUANG, M.D. 

By Elizabeth Connor 

UF is one of three academic medical centers in Florida that will provide screening and care for colorectal 

cancer under a new $850,000 grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

“Only a minority of Floridians ever receives colon cancer screening,” said Thomas George, M.D., 

director of UF’s gastrointestinal oncology program and a member of the UF Shands Cancer Center. “We are 

targeting people with the most to gain. For them, this screening could mean the difference between life and 

death.” 

Colon cancer screening under the grant is targeted at those ages 50 to 64 with little or no health insurance 

coverage, said Susan Fleming, R.N., a cancer program administrator with the Florida Department of Health. 

Shands at UF, along with grant partners Jackson Memorial Hospital at the University of Miami and Moffi tt 

Cancer Center in Tampa, will provide follow-up care at no charge for any cancers detected in the screening. 

Program organizers are working with local county public health units, the College of Medicine Equal Access 

Clinic and selected faculty practices to help identify people who may be eligible for the screening at UF. 

The fi ve-year program began July 1 and services are slated to begin Jan. 1. 

Part of the grant funds will be used for colorectal cancer education and awareness. Other grant efforts will 

seek to identify the cultural, geographic and other barriers that can deter people from getting screened for colon 

cancer. 

In 2009, colorectal cancer will claim about 50,000 lives in the United States, about evenly divided between 

men and women, according to the American Cancer Society. Florida colorectal cancer deaths during 2009 are 

estimated to be about 3,500. P

UF researchers have grown tumors in mice using cells from infl amed but noncancerous colon 

tissue taken from human patients, a fi nding that sheds new light on colon cancer and how it 

might be prevented. 

Scientists observed that cancer stem cells taken from the gastrointestinal system in patients with a 

chronic digestive disease called ulcerative colitis will transform into cancerous tumors in mice. 

The fi nding, featured on the cover of the Oct. 15 issue of Cancer Research, may help explain why 

patients with colitis have up to a 30-fold risk of developing colon cancer compared with people without 

the disease. 

New understanding of the link between colitis and cancer could lead to diagnostic tests that would 

evaluate tissue taken from patients with colitis for signs of cancer stem cell development, thereby 

identifying patients who may be at greater risk for cancer. 

“Ultimately it would be great if we could prevent colitis or treat colitis so it never gets to the 

cancerous stage,” said UF College of Medicine colorectal surgeon Emina Huang, M.D., who is a 

member of the Program in Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at UF’s McKnight Brain 

Institute. 

Although colonoscopy is very effective in screening and preventing colon cancer for most people, for 

patients with colitis no diagnostic tests work well because the infl amed tissue makes identifi cation of 

precancerous changes diffi cult. 

According to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, approximately 700,000 people have colitis in the United States. 

The National Cancer Institute estimates that cancer of the colon and rectum will claim the lives of about 50,000 people this year. 

UF scientists gathered colitic tissue from humans and chemically screened it for colon cancer stem cells, also called tumorinitiating 

cells. These cells were then isolated and monitored in mice to see if tumors would grow. 

Huang said these fi ndings shed light on that fact that it may not be just the cancer “seed” cell, but the “soil” — in this case 

infl amed colon tissue — that plays a role in the development of cancer. 

“Is it the seed, is it the soil or is it their interaction?” she said. “We think probably both, but now we have a new way to look at it 

and a new method of attack.” P

H1N1 

UF part of trials to test H1N1 vaccine 

in HIV-infected women, children 


MOBEEN RATHORE, M.D. 

By Czerne M. Reid 

The UF Center for HIV/AIDS Research, Education and Safety in 

Jacksonville is taking part in national clinical trials of the 2009 

H1N1 infl uenza vaccine among children, youth and pregnant 

women who are infected with HIV. 

The trials’ aim is to determine how well higherthan-usual 

doses of the vaccine trigger a protective 

immune response in the study populations. The 

trials will help clarify whether candidates need one 

or two doses and will allow continued evaluation of 

the vaccine’s safety. The strength of the response 

— and how long it lasts — also will be evaluated. 

Clinical trials have shown that a 15-microgram 

dose of the 2009 H1N1 vaccine protects healthy 

adults and older children. But children, youth and 

pregnant women who have HIV might not be as 

well-protected by the same doses. Trial participants 

will receive two 30-microgram doses of vaccine by 

injection 21 days apart. 

“In the immune-suppressed population there is 

always a concern that they may not be able to 

respond to the vaccine,” said Mobeen Rathore, 

M.D., director of the UF Center for HIV/AIDS 

Research, Education and Safety — also known as 

UF CARES — who is leading the UF trials. “We 

give the vaccine realizing that it may or may not 

work — provided it is safe.” 

The FDA-approved study vaccine contains 

inactivated 2009 H1N1 infl uenza virus and cannot 

cause infection. 

HIV compromises the immune system, making 

people more vulnerable to attack from diseasecausing 

agents. Pregnant women who have HIV are 

at increased risk because of their pregnancy in 

addition to a suppressed immune system. The 2009 

H1N1 infl uenza appears to cause a much higher 

mortality rate among pregnant women than among 

others. But even with the “regular” seasonal fl u, 

pregnant women are at increased risk of sickness 

and death, including fetal death. 

Children generally are at higher risk from H1N1 

infl uenza because their immune systems are not as 

well-developed as those of older persons. In 

addition, adults have some level of protection 

against the 2009 H1N1 fl u virus because of previous 

exposure to similar fl u viruses, something young 

children generally lack. 

One trial will enroll 130 pregnant women age 18 

to 39 who are in their second or third trimester. 

Women will take part in the study until six months 

after delivering their babies. Their newborns will 

be studied during the fi rst six months of life. 

The other trial will involve 140 children and 

youth age 4 to 24 who were infected with HIV from 

birth. They will be followed for seven months from 

JACKSONVILLE 

enrollment. 

Blood samples from subjects will be analyzed to 

determine the level of antibodies produced against 

the 2009 H1N1 fl u virus and how those levels 

change over time. Newborns will be tested to see 

how many maternal antibodies were transferred to 

them from their mothers. 

Participants at UF’s study site will come from 

existing patient groups with which UF CARES 

works. The organization is the largest 

comprehensive HIV education program in North/ 

Central Florida and performs NIH-funded HIV/ 

AIDS research in infants, children, adolescents and 

women — including pregnant women. The program 

is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of researchers, 

physicians and other health professionals. 

The vaccine trials are being conducted at 35 sites 

and eight sub-sites around the United States and 

Puerto Rico that are members of the International 

Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials 

Group. The National Institute of Allergy and 

Infectious Diseases and the Eunice Kennedy 

Shriver National Institute of Child Health and 

Human Development, both part of the National 

Institutes of Health, are sponsoring and funding 

the trials. 

But Rathore, who is trained as a vaccinologist, 

isn’t just concerned about people who are in the 

trial population. 

“Whether one is participating in the study or not, 

I think it’s important that everybody get the H1N1 

vaccine to protect ourselves,” he said. P

Jacksonville center focuse 

on patients battling breast cancer 

By Kandra Albury 

Danielle Horsley noticed the lump 

in her left breast when she was 

laying on her back in bed. 

Horsley, 37, knew there was a possibility that the lump could 

be the unthinkable — breast cancer. Just a year earlier, one of 

her sisters had been diagnosed with the disease at age 29. 

The next morning, Horsley contacted her gynecologist, Brent 

Seibel, M.D., a UF College of Medicine-Jacksonville assistant 

professor of obstetrics and gynecology. 

“I found it on a Wednesday night, called Thursday morning, 

and Dr. Seibel saw me on Friday at 11 a.m.,” Horsley said. 

Within 24 hours of her call, a treatment plan was quickly put 

into action. Seibel, who sees patients at Emerson Medical Plaza, 

referred Horsley to a multidisciplinary team of physicians at the 

Breast Health Center, located in the same building. 

The Breast Health Center is focused on the prevention, diagnosis 

and treatment of breast cancers. The center’s collaborative 

team of physicians includes specialists in oncology, radiation 

therapy and breast surgery. The team also includes one of only 

two fellowship-trained breast surgeons in the Jacksonville area, 

Laila Samiian, M.D. 

After a mammogram and ultrasound confi rmed an abnormality 

was present, Horsley met with Samiian, a UF assistant professor 

of surgical oncology who specializes in treating breast 

cancer. Samiian evaluated Horsley and performed a biopsy on 

the same day to rule out cancer in the lymph nodes. By the time 

her pathology results were back, Horsley had an appointment 

scheduled with Samiian as well as a plastic surgeon. 

“Her biopsy showed that she had a very aggressive, fast-growing 

breast cancer,” Samiian said. “We had to move as quickly as 

possible to improve her outcomes.” 

Because her younger sister had been treated for breast cancer 

and tested positive for BRCA mutation — the gene that increases 

a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer — Samiian felt 

that Horsley would be at high risk for developing additional 

breast cancers in the future. So she recommended a prophylactic 

bilateral mastectomy, which involves removal of the diseased 

breast as well as the unaffected breast. 

Five weeks after Horsley discovered the lump, surgeons removed 

both of her breasts at Shands Jacksonville. During the 

same operation, the breast reconstruction process began. 

Surgeon Christopher Vashi, M.D., placed expanders in Horsley 

to prepare for her permanent implants, an operation that would 

be performed months later. 

Samiian said surgical removal of both breasts is more common 

now than it was several years ago due to advances in technology 

such as MRI, genetic testing and breast reconstruction 

options. 

“Some women may have had a previous breast cancer treated 

20POST POST 

11 09 

by lumpectomy and radiation and end up developing a second 

breast cancer,” Samiian said. 

In some cases, patients cannot have radiation a second time 

and undergo mastectomy. They may choose to have the unaffected 

breast removed as a preventive measure to reduce the risk 

of another breast cancer and to achieve better symmetry during 

plastic surgery reconstruction. 

Horsley underwent eight rounds of chemotherapy during the 

16 weeks following her surgery. On Sept. 1, seven months after 

fi nding the lump, she returned to Shands Jacksonville to have the 

expanders removed and the permanent implants put in by Vashi. 

“In several months, we will raise a mound of tissue to create a 

nipple,” Vashi said. “Once that has healed, we will then tattoo 

the areolas and this will hide the scar from the nipple fl ap.” 

Vashi said the reconstruction process from start to fi nish 

takes about a year, giving the patient a break between procedures 

to heal. 

After the areola is tattooed, a fi nal touch-up procedure follows 

that could include anything from scar revision to aesthetics. 

These are usually short, small procedures that can be done 

in the physician’s offi ce. 

In the meantime, Horsley is resting and slowly getting back into 

the swing of things as she waits to schedule her fi nal procedures. 

“It was just over two weeks from me fi nding it to diagnosis, 

with ultrasound, mammogram and biopsy in between,” said the 

mother of three. “I’m just truly grateful for all of my physicians 

at Shands and everyone who helped me through this.” P

husband Todd and 

children Emily, 15, 

Shelby, 4 and Parker, 12 

— is recovering after

Health Center in

Cancer Center names new director 

Paul Okunieff, M.D., has been named director of the UF Shands Cancer 

Center and chair of the College of Medicine department of radiation 

oncology, effective Dec. 1. A graduate of Harvard Medical School, 

Okunieff is currently the Philip Rubin professor in radiation oncology 

and chair of the department of radiation oncology at the University of 

Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, where he leads a successful 

radiation oncology clinical practice and research program. He also is 

director of the university’s Robert A. Flavin Radiosurgery Center. Prior to 

his appointment at Rochester in 1998, Okunieff served as branch chief of 

radiation oncology at the National Cancer Institute, overseeing clinicaltranslational 

research for the intramural NCI program. Okunieff succeeds 

Joseph V. Simone, M.D., an internationally recognized leader in cancer 

care, research and education who headed the Cancer Center and helped 

to advance an alliance with UF, Shands HealthCare and the Moffi tt Cancer 

Center that was forged in 2008, and Robert J. Amdur, M.D., a professor 

and interim chair of the department of radiation oncology since 2006. 

“Dr. Okunieff is a perfect match for the University of Florida and Shands 

HealthCare,” said David S. Guzick, M.D., Ph.D., senior vice president for health affairs at UF’s Health 

Science Center and president of the UF&Shands Health System. “At a time when we are opening a new 

Cancer Hospital, developing our already world-renowned Proton Beam Therapy Institute in Jacksonville 

with a plan to add a radiosurgery center at that site, enhancing our research program with a focus on 

translational and clinical research, and establishing a National Cancer Center consortium arrangement 

with Moffi t Cancer Center, Paul’s extensive background in all of these areas and his extraordinary record 

of achievement are just what we need in Florida.”

As Carolyn Tucker, Ph.D., takes the stage, 

she invites everyone to stand and sing 

with her, “One love, one heart. Let’s get 

together and feel alright.” 

She uses this song as a motivational tool in her new Health-Smart Church 

Program, which brings church members, pastors, communities and families 

together to help improve African American health. The pilot program targets 

African-American women facing issues such as obesity or hypertension to 

both identify barriers to healthy behaviors and fi nd ways to help them adopt 

healthier lifestyles. Why target women? In African-American families, the 

woman is often the center of the household; if she changes her behaviors, the 

family will follow, Tucker said. 

“It is a sad fact that most of chronic diseases that occur in Florida and the 

U.S. have the highest prevalence among African-Americans, followed by 

Hispanics/Latinos,” said Tucker, a UF professor of psychology and 

community health and family medicine, and an endowed term professor of 

health disparities in the College of Medicine. “We African Americans are 

over-represented with regard to seemingly every chronic disease, and that has 

to change.” 

The program was recently developed into a DVD that outlines Health- 

Smart Behaviors and how to overcome barriers like not having a safe place to 

exercise or time to prepare a healthy breakfast. Aside from directly teaching 

participants, the program also involves turning churches into health 

promotion centers, with church leaders and pastors receiving training to be 

health empowerment coaches. 

“Some people believe they can’t exercise because they’re too fat to exercise 

and they feel embarrassed. This is a barrier,” Tucker said. “That’s one of the 

reasons we are focusing on having churches become health promotion 

centers — people often feel more comfortable in their church setting, as 

opposed to going to a gym or a public place.” 

Kendall Campbell, M.D., an assistant dean of minority affairs for the 

College of Medicine and director of UF’s Eastside Community Practice, is a 

co-investigator of the Health-Smart Church Program. Participants come by 

his clinic and he keeps track of their blood pressure, body-mass index,

triglycerides and cholesterol levels. 

“It’s a way to infi ltrate the community, especially underserved minorities. 

Churches are the core hub of these communities; it’s the way to get access to 

the people,” Campbell said. “I’m a physician, I fi ght health disparities every 

day. The Health-Smart Church Program and its focus on Health-Smart 

Behaviors is just one component. It’s a good start and a new approach.” 

Each participating church was given a treadmill and a balance beam scale, 

and with the help of graduate and undergraduate students, each is 

implementing a walking group, cardio-dance class and other physical exercise 

classes, Tucker said. 

In addition to the health empowerment coaches, each family is assigned 

one student member from Tucker’s research team. These coach consultants 

call the family weekly and discuss their progress and any problems they may 

be facing. Soon, church members will take over these roles and will 

implement all aspects of the program. 

“Being a part of an African-American church, I see the problem fi rsthand,” 

said Deloris Rentz, a community research coordinator for the program. “I 

think getting the churches involved is a good way to research some of the 

health issues. I think Dr. Tucker has the right idea in that the African- 

American church has a tremendous impact on the community. It’s one of the 

best ways historically to get the African-American community involved in 

promoting their own health.” 

Rosa Williams, a community member partner who makes contacts with 

community groups and recruits participants, said she has known Tucker for a 

long time and respects her methods, dedication and manner. 

“I got involved because I like her and I like what she does. She’s very 

concerned about people, especially minority health,” Williams said. “She’s a 

very unique person. She keeps going when most would stop.” 

Tucker said her two goals are to train the next generation of researchers 

interested in community health promotion and to reduce health disparities by 

empowering communities and families to take charge of their health. To do 

this, she typically works 14- to 16-hour days, but it’s worth it, she says. 

“When people ask what inspires me, I am reminded that a major part of my 

inspiration comes from the words of my grandfather, who always told me, 

‘Anything worth doing ain’t easy, and anything worth having is worth 

working hard to achieve.’ I think that reducing health disparities and 

promoting health are both worth doing.” P
