Teenage Volunteers’<br />
Fundraising Furthers<br />
SVHC Mission<br />
By Phyllis Benitez<br />
Volunteer Services<br />
This summer, 230 Teenage Volunteers (TAV) donated 15,000 hours of their time<br />
sharing their talents and skills with SVHC patients, visitors and associates. In<br />
support of our Mission, they collected eight boxes of children’s books for the<br />
Family Medicine Center’s Read & Romp program and several containers of<br />
food for the pantry. To top it all off, they raised a total of $900. The money was<br />
donated to the food pantry and Pastoral Care to purchase additional crucifixes<br />
for our facilities.<br />
Thank you to all who supported their fundraising efforts and opened your<br />
departments and hearts to the TAVs this summer. The program exists because<br />
of your support!<br />
A portion of the funds raised by<br />
the SVHC Teenage Volunteers was<br />
donated to the food pantry.<br />

Award Winning Name<br />
for New EMR <strong>System</strong><br />
By Beth Fagin<br />
Information <strong>System</strong>s<br />
The IS Department launched an internal<br />
contest to name SVHC’s EMR system and<br />
recently Dr. Perry and the project committee<br />
announced a winner.<br />
The name “OneCare” was chosen because<br />
it captures the clinical vision to improve<br />
the efficiency and safety of patient care.<br />
Our IS Department will spend the next 18<br />
months building the integrated and single<br />
EMR record to be used at SVMC, SLH<br />
and the new hospital in Clay County.<br />
The person who submitted the winning<br />
name chose to remain anonymous and<br />
declined a $100 gift certificate. Instead,<br />
a random drawing was conducted with<br />
the names of all those who had submitted<br />
naming suggestions. <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s ED<br />
nurse, Penny Baldasso, RN, was the big<br />
winner.<br />
The committee wishes to thank everyone<br />
for the enthusiastic response and all the<br />
very thoughtful name suggestions.<br />
SVHC Teenage<br />
Volunteers donated a<br />
portion of the funds they<br />
raised for the purchase<br />
of additional crucifixes<br />
for our facilities.<br />

Be on the lookout for more information<br />
over the coming months as we launch this<br />
important and exciting project!<br />
