News Bureau Prepared Responders Emergency Pool (PREP) Launched Since coming together as a national health ministry more than a decade ago, Ascension Health has seen a number of the communities it serves face emergency situations. Last year, a system-wide Emergency Management Task Force recommended establishing a group of core volunteers who would be ready and willing to assist at Health Ministries such as St. Vincent’s HealthCare during an emergency. In response, the Prepared Responders Emergency Pool (PREP) has been developed to provide a pool of emergency responders that can be called upon in the event Ascension Health experiences an emergency situation. “When a disaster affects a Health Ministry, a review will be conducted to determine if PREP clinicians are needed,” said Suzann Bylund, a Director at Ascension Health with oversight of Emergency Preparedness. “Processes are in place to coordinate an emergency deployment, compensation processing, expense reimbursement, licensure verifications and other program operational needs. When needed, PREP clinicians will be notified through an emergency notification system.” Registered Nurses, physicians, pharmacists and respiratory therapists are needed to support PREP. PREP clinicians will be approved through an application process. Once an application is submitted, the applicant’s supervisor will be contacted to approve his or her participation in PREP. At each Health Ministry, the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator will assist in managing PREP clinicians locally. To register for PREP, go to: www.regonline.com/PREP If you have any questions about PREP, please contact Suzann Bylund, Director, IDM/Emergency Preparedness, sbylund@ascensionhealth.org or 314.733.8701. Looking for Leaders! We Need Team Captains for Heart Walk By Gene Miyamoto System COO & EVP St. Vincent’s HealthCare is proud to announce a partnership with the American Heart Association for the 2011 Heart Walk event and we need you! We are looking for team captains to recruit, motivate and above all, lead members of the St. Vincent’s Heart Walk team to success at the walk on Sept. 24. As a sponsor, St. Vincent’s will educate the community about the new “Hands Only” CPR. St. Vincent’s HealthCare will have a tent set up at the event to promote the “Two Steps to Save Lives” campaign. I believe we will show the First Coast that we are truly community-minded associates who understand the importance of the fight against heart disease. Heart disease and stroke are our nation’s number one and three killers. The dollars we raise could save the lives of your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors…or even your own life! My goal for us at St. Vincent’s is to raise money, save lives and have fun while doing so. Heart Walk 2011 We already have 15 team captains registered. Our goal is a team from every department. If you would like to serve as a team captain, please contact Jennifer Stein at 904-308-8612. 2 AUGUST 2011
