Attorney Dan Newlin Offers Award To Local Orlando Hospital

Dr. Phillips Hospital Receives Inaugural “Miracle Award” from Dan Newlin Miracle Project,
January 21, 2011

ORLANDO – On November 21, 2010, Orlando resident Ron Haugh started his morning, like
many mornings, working his part-time shift at Sea World. By the end of the day, Ron and his
family would be delivered the devastating news that Ron had Stage 4 terminal Brain Cancer.

Instead of releasing Ron to follow-up with his family doctor, the medical professionals at Dr.
Phillips hospital elected to perform emergency life-saving brain surgery on Ron. Ron and his
wife Michelle, who had struggled since Ron was laid off from full-time construction work due to
down-sizing, had little money in their savings and no health insurance.

Local surgeon Dr. Max Medary, M.D., headed a team of health care professionals in treating Ron
and performing the surgery. It was a touching moment for the Haugh family who admitted
unexpected shock when they were informed that Ron would be cared for without concern for
payment.

“After the surgery, Dr. Medary and the amazing nurses at Dr. Phillips Hospital made sure that all
of my attention was spent helping my husband and not concerned about the mounting bills,”
stated Michelle. “NO ONE spoke a word to me about the cost of this care and when I brought it
up, everyone assured me not to worry that there would be a time to discuss it later.”

Orlando based Attorney Dan Newlin caught wind of the situation through a mutual friend and
found the story to be very touching. “Orlando Health is already known as one of the top health
care providing institutions in the country. This story only reiterated that sentiment by showing
the uncommon compassion and dedication of the health care professionals at Dr. Phillips,”
commented Newlin.

The Dan Newlin Miracle Project, which was launched last year, is an organization that supports
various charities throughout the Central Florida area. The organization organized a “light
hanging party” at the Haugh residence to assist the family in displaying their annual Christmas
lights, a labor of love unable to be accomplished this year by a recovering Ron. Newlin was also
instrumental in raising over $25,000 for MD Anderson to help cover the cost of Ron’s ongoing
care.

“The real heroes here are the health care professionals at Dr. Phillips Hospital,” claims Newlin.
“For a family, whose life came crashing down, to receive such respect; such care; and such
compassion is remarkable. Those doctors and nurses really touched the lives of this family and
in their eyes were miracle workers.”

Plaques were presented to both Dr. Medary and Dr. Phillips Hospital. “I hope that this award
will be seen by every person who had a hand in helping Ron and his family. The power of the
collective human spirit is a remarkable thing. It is truly a miracle.”
