| 'God is good,' says $1.1M slots winner
A hard-working home health aide from Margate who couldn't afford health insurance for herself is now likely the biggest casino jackpot winner in Florida history. Paulette Miles, 48, was down to her final spin on a progressive jackpot ''Cash Cow'' Class II electronic gaming machine at Seminole Coconut Creek Casino Saturday night when she won a record $1.1 million dollars. ''This is wonderful. Now instead of working seven days a week, I only have to work five days a week,'' said Miles, reached by The Miami Herald via her cellphone Wednesday morning as she was leaving the home of a patient she had been caring for overnight. Miles, an immigrant from Jamaica, said she is using her winnings to pay off her mortgage, pay off her car loan, buy herself health and life insurance, help her niece with her college tuition, help her needy family in Jamaica and pay the taxes from her jackpot win.

AAMC Adopts Position On "Medical Home" System Of Care
The AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) has adopted a formal position on the "medical home" model of health care delivery, which provides patients with a coordinated, comprehensive approach to primary care.
The position statement was developed and proposed by the AAMC Advisory Panel on Health Care (composed of representatives from within and outside the AAMC) and approved by the association's Executive Council last month.
In the medical home model of health care delivery, the ongoing relationship between care provider and patient is essential. A medical home ensures around-the-clock access to medical consultation, respect for a patient's cultural and religious beliefs, and the comprehensive coordination of a patient's care among providers and community services.
