Florida Hospital to Become Global Site for Training Surgeons - 11/16/06
Nicholson Center for Surgical Advancement to Train up to 20,000 Surgeons Annually
Minutes before the start of the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission’s (EDC) November Board meeting, Florida Hospital, the EDC, and global Fortune 500 healthcare leaders, came together to announce plans for the new Nicholson Center for Surgical Advancement (NCSA), which aims to be the global site for training and educating surgeons.
"This is an exciting day for Central Florida, as the momentum continues for economic development in our region. Announcements like the one made by Florida Hospital today are diversifying our economy and helping to ignite a new economic engine based on bio-medical research, surgical innovation, and education," said Ray Gilley, president/CEO of the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission.
"As the chair of the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce, I’m excited that our region is becoming a bio-medical and life science destination. Much like Disney is a visionary company that creates lasting memories for children and families, the NCSA positions Florida Hospital as a visionary in the medical field, capturing the imagination of aspiring surgeons all over the world," said Jim Lewis, chair of the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce and president of Disney® Vacation Club.
Florida Hospital, with corporate partners GE Healthcare, Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Karl Storz Endoscopy – America Inc., and Getinge USA, intends to build a new 35,000-square-foot, $20 million facility called the Nicholson Center for Surgical Advancement, within approximately two years.

Patient Receives Life-changing Surgery at Florida Hospital Celebration Health - 6/6/06
Dr. Kathy Jones performed a rare procedure to create a neo or "new" vagina for a young woman born without one.
WHAT: Twenty-two-year-old Michelle Haines did not experience the same adolescent transition as most her peers - she never got her period. When she still hadn't gotten it during her senior year of high school, her mom decided it was time for her to go to the doctor. It was then that Michelle was diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky Syndrome. At the age of 17, Michelle learned that she did not have a vagina, uterus, or one of her kidneys and that she would never be able to conceive a child. Doctors gave her internal dilators to create a vagina, but Michelle, an active woman who enjoys working out and surfing, was not happy with having to use them three times a day for up to a year. That was when she began researching other treatments and found Dr. Kathy Jones at Florida Hospital Celebration Health, which is the only hospital in Central Florida to perform the rare Vecchietti Procedure to create a neo or "new" vagina. Michelle had the life-changing procedure TODAY that will allow her to feel more like a woman for the first time in her life and get back to the waves with more confidence.
HOW: The Vecchietti Procedure, a minimally invasive operation, creates a new vagina by inserting an internal device that applies continuous pressure to the vaginal area. The patient is given an external device that she tightens every day to stretch the vagina. After approximately a week, the vagina should stretch to normal length.
