It is no surprise that four in five Americans (86 percent) reportedly take dietary supplements to improve their overall health. Now more than ever, health consciousness is at the forefront – we are focused on improving our immune systems, specifically with an increased intake of readily accessible ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and enzymes, collectively known as dietary supplements. In the 27 years since Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 ( DSHEA ), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has had the authority to regulate dietary supplements; and, the FDA “plays an important role in helping consumers make use of safe, high-quality dietary supplements while also protecting Americans from the potential dangers of products that don’t meet the agency’s standards for marketing.”

Board-certified surgeons Shawn Thomas, D.O., and Bennett Scaglia, M.D., will lead the program.
“We are excited and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this collaboration between Halifax Health and UF Health,” Scaglia said in a press release. “Our No. 1 goal is to always provide a positive patient experience every day and be the leaders in our community when it comes to urologic care.”
Matthew Petkus, vice president of physician services for Halifax Health, said the objective is for the two systems to become the community health-care leader for urology services.
“Collaboration between these two programs will establish a urologic service and surgery network that focuses on providing the best possible clinical outcomes and quality for the community; maximizes access to state-of-the-art medical treatment; and assists Halifax in the development and growth of its urology program,” Petkus said in an emailed statement to The News-Journal.
