A distinguished hematologist and oncologist for the past 30 years, Kenneth D. Nahum is a recipient of the Humanitarian Physician of the year award from Kimball Medical Center. Currently serving at Regional Cancer Care Associates (RCCA) in New Jersey, Kenneth D. Nahum also supports medical advancements through contributions to his local chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). One of the many ways JDRF supports patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is through its artificial pancreas program. The artificial pancreas is a portable, convenient technology system that helps people managing T1D live a more normal life without the need to check blood-sugar levels or inject themselves with insulin multiple times per day. Using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and insulin pump, the artificial pancreas responds to changes in the patient’s blood sugar level with an algorithm-based appropriate dosage at the right time. The technology is user-friendly, miniature, and not visible to anyone other than the user.

An oncologist and hematologist at Regional Cancer Care Associates (RCCA), Dr. Kenneth D. Nahum has been working as a physician for more than three decades. In that time, Dr. Kenneth D. Nahum has joined several professional organizations, including the American College of Physicians (ACP). The world’s largest society for internal medicine specialists and subspecialists, ACP advances the practice of internal medicine by providing professionals with a variety of education and networking opportunities. This includes the organization’s Internal Medicine Meeting, an annual conference that provides attendees with access to hands-on sessions and presentations that keep them updated on advances in their field. Designed for hospitalists, general internists, family physicians, residents, and subspecialists in internal medicine, the ACP Internal Medicine Meeting 2019 is scheduled for April 11-13 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. ACP will host more than 200 scientific sessions and offer attendees a maximum of 30.5 category 1 AMA credits. These credits can be used toward a professional’s maintenance of certification (MOC) or continuing medical education (CME) efforts. Kenneth D. Nahum, DO, an oncologist and hematologist with Regional Cancer Care Associates, LLC, in Howell, New Jersey, has helped others throughout his three-decade medical career. In partnership with Cross-Cultural Solutions, Dr. Kenneth D. Nahum worked with children with disabilities in Guatemala. Cross-Cultural Solutions operates two major programs in Guatemala. One program focuses on childhood education, while the other focuses on children’s health. Guatemalan schools lack basic resources and have difficulty retaining students after the sixth grade. These conditions make it difficult for these children to escape poverty. Cross-Cultural Solutions partners with local schools to provide resources for education and support engaging activities and lesson plans. The health system in Guatemala is underfunded, and Cross-Cultural Solutions works to provide public health services that directly benefit children. Common issues include vision and dental care, as well as improvement of sanitation services locally. Through the installation of hand washing stations and disease prevention workshops, it also works to curb the spread of disease. |
