As you know, the pace at which obesity rates are growing has become one of the greatest public health challenges of our time. Today, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults are considered overweight or obese, and obesity is ranked the second-highest cause of preventable deaths in the country. To help reverse this obesity epidemic, Summa is committed to offering both surgical and nonsurgical options for medically supervised weight loss. While there is not yet agreement on a single best approach to nonsurgical weight loss management, there is consensus that the most effective and long-lasting treatment for morbid obesity is surgical weight loss intervention. Since starting the surgical program in 24, we have performed more than 3,6 primary and revisional weight loss surgeries, with primary weight loss surgeries in 217 alone. Moreover, in the past 1 years, the Summa Health Bariatric Care Center has grown by nearly 2%. Moving forward, weight loss management will continue to be a critical initiative for Summa Health. In 218, a tremendous amount of work has transpired to expand treatment options that produce the best possible outcomes for our current and future patients. As always, our goal is to help these patients achieve significant weight loss in order to eliminate or reduce medical problems caused by their obesity, as well as reclaim their lives. We appreciate you taking the time to review our 217 results. As you ll see, the Summa Health offers a successful program for any patient interested in losing weight. Therefore, please do not hesitate to contact us directly if you have questions or would like additional information for your patients. Sincerely, The surgery is totally worth it. I wouldn t go to any place except Summa Health. Margo Haren, Weight Loss Surgery Patient John Zografakis, M.D., FACS, FASMBS Director, Adrian Dan, M.D., FACS, FASMBS Director, Outcomes Report 3

3 Surgical Procedure Volume Volume Surgical weight loss procedures performed at Summa Health include laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding and laparoscopic revisional procedures. Our bariatric surgeons are fellowship-trained in advanced laparoscopic and weight loss surgery.

4 Surgical Demographics Demographics Candidates for a primary weight loss procedure at Summa Health range in ages from 17 to 7. These are patients with morbid obesity, with or without comorbid diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The typical patient has usually tried many different approaches to weight loss but has been unsuccessful in sustaining weight loss. In many cases, patients also struggle with underlying issues such as binge eating, emotional eating or other behavioral health conditions which have contributed to their obesity.

7 Fellowship Training Fellowship training offers physicians the opportunity to obtain additional, specialty-focused education after the completion of residency training. The ability of a hospital to provide care by fellowship trained physicians is a strong indicator of a higher level of care. Completion of a fellowship means a surgeon has spent additional time developing in-depth knowledge and surgical expertise in their chosen specialty. Our Fellows: Chandrutie Latchman, D.O Greg Johnston, D.O Summa Health offers a one-year fellowship in minimally invasive surgery with a focus on advanced laparoscopic and weight reductive surgery. It is a collaborative effort between the department of surgery and Summa Health Foundation. The fellow works closely with the four attending surgeons in our bariatric surgery program, performing high volumes of minimally invasive weight reductive and general surgeries. The fellow also works with the team, developing expertise in the clinical management of patients. All four of the surgeons at Summa s Bariatric Care Center are fellowship trained as follows: John G. Zogafakis, M.D., FACS, FASMBS: Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Adrian G. Dan, M.D., FACS, FASMBS: Cleveland Clinic Foundation Mark Pozsgay, D.O., FASMBS: University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Tyler Bedford, M.D.: Summa Health Mark Nuqui, D.O Tyler Bedford, M.D This fellowship is now in its eighth year, having started in 211. It is accredited by the MIS Fellowship Council for dual Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) and Bariatric Surgery. It is led by fellowship program director, Adrian G. Dan, M.D., FACS, FASMBS.. Lindsey Berbiglia, M.D Kristine Makiewicz, M.D Andrew Standerwick, M.D Outcomes Report 13

8 Nonsurgical Weight Management Program Summa Health also offers a nonsurgical alternative for long-term weight loss. Our nonsurgical weight management program focuses on the modification of food choices, intensive management of eating behaviors, exercise and lifelong follow-up. It s primarily for patients with a BMI between 25 and 34.9 kg/m2 that have a co-morbid condition caused by their obesity, as well as those with a BMI between 35 and 39.9 kg/m2 without one. The program offers several nonsurgical weight loss options depending on a patient s need: Comprehensive Two-Year Program This intense, all-encompassing approach includes: Six months of physician visits A foundational Kick-Off Workshop Three Intensive Outpatient Weight Loss Groups Ongoing physician follow-ups for meal planning Outcomes Patients who fully participate in our program typically achieve a weight loss of five to 2 pounds per month. Success is directly related to how closely they follow the prescribed program. Individual Physician Visits Specializing in Weight Loss For patients who: Don t have time for the full program Only want the physician component Are looking primarily for individualized meal planning May have more complicated medical conditions, such as diabetes Individual Psychologist Visits Specializing in Weight Loss & Eating Disorders Ken Wells, M.D. Certified Diplomate ABOM* Medical Director, Nonsurgical Weight Management Program For patients who: Don t have time for the full program Only want the behavioral component Struggle with eating in response to emotions or stress Struggle with depression and anxiety Unlike others in the area, the Summa nonsurgical weight management program is led by a multidisciplinary team that includes physicians, psychologists, dietitians and clinical exercise specialists. These professionals guide and educate patients throughout their weight loss journey, from setting realistic and achievable short- and long-term goals to ensuring they stay on track and remain successful. 14 Irene Dejak, M.D. Obesity Medicine Specialist Natasha Koren, M.D. Certified Diplomate ABOM* Obesity Medicine Specialist *The American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) serves the public and field of obesity medicine by maintaining standards for assessment and credentialing physicians. ABOM diplomates undergo rigorous training and an extensive examination process to achieve this designation. The certification signifies specialized knowledge in the practice of obesity medicine and distinguishes those who have achieved competency in obesity care. They counsel you on how to eat healthy. I am about to change my life. Reggie Eggleston, Weight Loss Surgery (pre-op) Patient 217 Outcomes Report 15
