<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Medical Center and<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Luke’s Hospital Receive Joint Commission<br />

Advanced Certification for<br />

Heart Failure Care<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s <strong>HealthCare</strong> (SVHC) is<br />

proud to be home to the only two<br />

hospitals in Northeast Florida to<br />

receive Advanced Certification from<br />

the Joint Commission for heart failure<br />

care. Both <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Medical Center<br />

in Riverside and <strong>St</strong>. Luke’s Hospital<br />

on the Southside received the elite<br />

designation in December 2010.<br />

The honor has only been given to two<br />

other hospitals in Florida and just 21<br />

other hospitals in the entire nation.<br />

The distinction given by the Joint<br />

Commission is considered the Gold<br />

Seal of Approval for health care quality.<br />

For patients it means they will<br />

receive some of the very best heart<br />

failure care in the nation when they<br />

are treated at either <strong>St</strong>. Luke’s Hospital<br />

or <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Medical Center.<br />

“<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s <strong>HealthCare</strong> has<br />

long been a leader in cardiac care.<br />

Through the years our affiliated physicians<br />

have pioneered procedures like<br />

open heart surgery that are now common<br />

place around the globe. Now, we<br />

are being recognized for introducing<br />

this same cutting-edge creativity into<br />

improving the treatment and on-going<br />

management of heart failure. This distinction<br />

further illustrates our<br />

commitment to providing the citizens<br />

of Northeast Florida the very<br />

best cardiac care available,” said<br />

Moody Chisholm, CEO of<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s <strong>HealthCare</strong>.<br />

According to the American Heart<br />

Association, about 5.7<br />

million people<br />

suffer from<br />

heart failure.<br />

<strong>St</strong>atistics show<br />

more than<br />

292,200<br />

people die<br />

from heart<br />

failure each<br />

year.<br />

The Joint<br />

Commission<br />

has recognized<br />

high performing programs through<br />

disease-specific certification since<br />

2002. For more information,<br />

Getting to Know Our Leadership<br />

Cafeteria<br />

DI$COUNTS<br />

By Moody Chisholm<br />

President and CEO SVHC<br />

At the last town hall meeting and<br />

often in the halls, associates have<br />

asked me if we can establish a<br />

“discount” for associates in the<br />

cafeteria. I have always provided a<br />

discount for associates at other hospitals,<br />

so I set out to move forward<br />

with one here. Unfortunately, the IRS<br />

has recently changed their perspective<br />

on this. We are now required<br />

to tax our associates for the value<br />

of any discount we provide in the<br />

cafeteria. This is one of the most<br />

absurd IRS rules I have ever heard of<br />

and it makes the idea of providing a<br />

discount unrealistic.<br />

In the absence of a discount, I will<br />

commit to our associates that we will<br />

hold our prices down and look for<br />

opportunities to provide “specials”<br />

that provide a low price on a featured<br />

item. This will effectively be a<br />

discount and provide a low price to<br />

everyone.<br />

Gift Shops Offer<br />

Discount in<br />

Appreciation<br />

By Edie Foy<br />

Gift Shop Manager<br />

It is time once again to say “thank<br />

you” to our customers. During the<br />

month of February get 10% off most<br />

purchases in <strong>St</strong>. Luke’s and <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s<br />

Gift Shops! Some exclusions apply.<br />

Q&A with<br />

Bill Mayher<br />

Mediscoop offers an opportunity for<br />

readers to meet different leaders from<br />

across our healthcare system. In this<br />

issue, Bill Mayher tells about himself.<br />

Q. What is your position and what are<br />

your primary responsibilities?<br />

A. I serve as the Vice President<br />

Corporate Compliance and Chief<br />

Privacy Officer for all companies<br />

in the health system. I am<br />

responsible for ensuring<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s <strong>HealthCare</strong> maintains<br />

an effective system-wide compliance<br />

program that promotes prevention,<br />

detection and resolution of<br />

instances of conduct that may not<br />

conform to Federal and <strong>St</strong>ate law<br />

and/or <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s policy. I also<br />

work to ensure our patients’<br />

privacy rights are protected.<br />

Q. How long have you been with<br />

SVHC?<br />

A. I have worked in various<br />

positions with SVHC since 1996.<br />

Initially I served as a Financial<br />

Analyst in the Reimbursement<br />

Department, then as Manager of<br />

Budget and Financial Planning. I<br />

have served as Corporate<br />

Compliance Officer and Privacy<br />

Officer since 2003.<br />

Q. What do you like best about your<br />

position?<br />

A. My work involves solving complex<br />

and challenging situations which<br />

I find rewarding. I have the<br />

privilege of working with very<br />

talented people who care deeply<br />

about what they do. My late<br />

grandfather, my father and my<br />

brother were/are physicians so<br />

healthcare has always been a big<br />

part of my life. I realized early on<br />

that I didn’t have the stomach for<br />

that work but I’m very fortunate to<br />

be able to use my skills to support<br />

our great health ministry at<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s.<br />

Q. What activities do you enjoy in<br />

your free time?<br />

A. I have served as an adjunct<br />

instructor for Webster University<br />

since 2005. I teach accounting<br />

theory in the MBA program and<br />

healthcare strategy in the MHA<br />

program. I really enjoy the<br />

interaction with the students and it<br />

helps me stay current. I play in<br />

United <strong>St</strong>ates Tennis Association<br />

(USTA) tennis leagues. The leagues<br />

help feed my competitive spirit<br />

and provide a great workout. I<br />

enjoy spending time with my wife<br />

and two daughters... they keep me<br />

pretty busy. I also enjoy attending<br />

football games in Athens, Go<br />

Dawgs!<br />

Q. Do you have one “nugget of<br />

wisdom” you’d like to share with<br />

our readers?<br />

A. There are two things my Father<br />

told me over and over again when<br />

I was growing up: “Success comes<br />

before work only in the dictionary”<br />

and “always do the right thing.”<br />

Those two nuggets have served<br />

me well.<br />

Diagnostic Cardiology Joins SVHC<br />

By Moody Chisholm<br />

CEO, <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s <strong>HealthCare</strong><br />

We are pleased to announce all of the<br />

physicians, nurse practitioners and support<br />

staff from Diagnostic Cardiology<br />

Associates (DCA) are now officially<br />

part of <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s <strong>HealthCare</strong>.<br />

The two organizations have worked<br />

together for years to provide top notch<br />

cardiovascular care to patients but now<br />

DCA is officially a member of the<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s family and we are proud<br />

to call them our associates.<br />

This new relationship became official<br />

<strong>January</strong> 1, <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

Diagnostic Cardiology Associates<br />

has played a large role in helping<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s develop its reputation as<br />

a cardiology leader. The program here<br />

has been recognized by U.S.News &<br />

World Report three times as one of<br />

America’s best heart hospitals. In 2008,<br />

it was named by Thomson Reuters as<br />

one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals<br />

for cardiovascular care.<br />

That tradition of excellence continues<br />

today. Through our partnership, we<br />

developed heart failure protocol at<br />

both <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Medical Center and<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Luke’s that was just recognized<br />

by the Joint Commission with their<br />

prestigious Gold Seal of Approval. The<br />

recognition has only been bestowed on<br />

21 other hospitals in the entire United<br />

<strong>St</strong>ates which means our patients receive<br />

some of the very best cardiology care in<br />

the nation!<br />

We are confident this strengthened<br />

relationship between our organizations<br />

will improve our ability to offer<br />

patients the highest quality of care.<br />

Please join me in welcoming all the<br />

physicians and associates from DCA to<br />

our <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s family.<br />

Ascension Health’s Initiative Leads to Major Changes<br />

Ascension’s Symphony project has been<br />

mentioned in town meetings, Mediscoop<br />

and emails but unless you work<br />

in Human Resources, Finance or the<br />

Supply Chain, you still might wonder<br />

“What is Symphony and what changes<br />

will it bring?”<br />

Symphony will overhaul and centralize<br />

operations at many levels in an effort<br />

to operate our healthcare ministry<br />

more efficiently so we can carry on our<br />

Mission of providing the highest quality<br />

care to all, with special attention to<br />

those who are poor and vulnerable.<br />

Through Symphony, Ascension Health<br />

and its Health Ministries are making<br />

major changes in how we operate,<br />

including standardizing some processes<br />

and introducing new processes in three<br />

broad areas: Finance, Human Resources<br />

and Supply Chain.<br />

The changes, which will be introduced<br />

across Ascension Health from <strong>2011</strong><br />

through 2015, will include the<br />

following:<br />

• Several functions in Finance,<br />

Human Resources and Supply Chain<br />

will move to a new Ascension Health<br />

Ministry Service Center that will<br />

be based in Indianapolis, IN. It will<br />

employ about 500 associates. Moving<br />

functions like accounts payable, payroll<br />

processing and benefits administration<br />

to a centralized Ministry Service Center<br />

will reduce our costs and allow us to<br />

devote more resources to our mission<br />

and service to our communities.<br />

• New, more modern computer<br />

systems to serve our Finance, Human<br />

Resources and Supply Chain areas will<br />

replace outdated ones. Along with these<br />

new systems, we will also introduce<br />

new processes for how our associates<br />

will work in these areas.<br />

• Our new Finance, Human Resources<br />

and Supply Chain processes<br />

and computer systems will provide our<br />

ministry with more timely, complete information<br />

to help us make better decisions<br />

and do our work more efficiently.<br />

“Symphony will deliver capabilities<br />

that will make us a more connected<br />

ministry and provide us with empowering<br />

knowledge,” said Ann Esposito, Ascension<br />

Health’s Senior Vice President<br />

and Program Executive for Symphony.<br />

“The effort will support our Mission<br />

and Ascension Health’s 2020 Vision<br />

to be a strong, vibrant Catholic health<br />

ministry that will lead the transformation<br />

of healthcare.”<br />

“<strong>St</strong>andardizing processes throughout<br />

Ascension Health ministries,” says<br />

EVP/System COO Gene Miyamoto,<br />

“will improve efficiency and help all<br />

of us better face future healthcare<br />

challenges.”<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s <strong>HealthCare</strong> has been<br />

actively involved in the design phase of<br />

Symphony, with SVHC associates listed<br />

below serving in leadership and subject<br />

matter expert roles.<br />

Sacred Heart in Pensacola is in our<br />

Gulf Coast/North Florida Region and<br />

will serve as the alpha site for Symphony,<br />

meaning they will be the first<br />

ministry to deploy and experience these<br />

new processes. Sacred Heart Health<br />

System will deploy Symphony in July<br />

<strong>2011</strong>. The Ministry Service Center<br />

in Indianapolis will be prepared and<br />

staffed first to be ready to assist them.<br />

Another member of our region, Providence<br />

in Mobile, Alabama will be one<br />

of two beta sites, deploying second in<br />

<strong>January</strong> 2012. <strong>St</strong>. Thomas in Nashville<br />

is the other beta site.<br />

All Ascension Health ministries will<br />

deploy Symphony sometime between<br />

July 2012 and 2015, but specific deployment<br />

dates are not known beyond<br />

those for the alpha and beta sites.<br />

“Although we do not know when<br />

Symphony will deploy in Jacksonville,”<br />

says Jan Lipsky, System VP of HR and<br />

Organizational Development, “it is<br />

never too soon to begin working with<br />

our valued associates directly affected<br />

by Symphony. We met with associates<br />

from HR, Finance and Supply Chain in<br />

<strong>January</strong> to begin the transition. We will<br />

work closely with them as they consider<br />

their career options and possible<br />

interests in furthering their education<br />

through LEAP, our tuition assistance<br />

program, workshops and other<br />

opportunities. Our goal is<br />

to help them navigate through<br />

change and we are fortunate<br />

to have time to do that.”<br />

While Symphony directly<br />

impacts associates serving<br />

in HR, Finance and Supply<br />

Chain, it will impact all<br />

associates and the way we<br />

work. Everyone will receive<br />

training before we deploy.<br />

Unique Gingerbread Crib Delivers<br />

“Safe Sleep for Infants” Message<br />

By Toni Herndon, RN, MS, IBCLC/<br />

Coordinator<br />

Seton Center for Women and<br />

Infants’ Health<br />

The Rotary and Jacksonville Historical<br />

Society provided a beautiful gingerbread<br />

display in <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s maternity area<br />

during the holidays. This year, the Rotary<br />

has targeted Safe Sleep for Infants<br />

as one of their causes. Carol Brady,<br />

Director of Healthy <strong>St</strong>art, constructed<br />

a gingerbread crib with the Safe Sleep<br />

message. It was part of a display at the<br />

Rotary Club’s Gingerbread<br />

Extravaganza and silent auction<br />

and was on display at the Historical<br />

Society.<br />

The gingerbread crib measured 24”<br />

by 24” at the base and 18” tall. It was<br />

offered to <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s because Seton<br />

Center has done promotions over the<br />

years advocating Safe Sleep for infants.<br />

If you’d like more information<br />

SVHC Provides FREE Angioscreening Services<br />

Available at No Charge to Associates for a Limited Time<br />

By Chris Veal<br />

Cardiovascular Service Line Director<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s <strong>HealthCare</strong> has a new<br />

mobile health unit dedicated to cardiovascular<br />

care. AngioScreen is a simple,<br />

non-invasive vascular screening designed<br />

to provide patients with information<br />

about their circulation and risk<br />

of heart disease and stroke. A newly<br />

hired mobile team will take the screenings<br />

to local businesses and events in<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s dedicated AngioScreen<br />

mobile.<br />

AngioScreen uses non-invasive ultrasound<br />

technology to scan the arteries<br />

in the neck. It offers patients a clear<br />

picture of their vascular health. Vascular<br />

disease is the leading cause of death<br />

worldwide as well as the leading cause<br />

of stroke and heart attack. We believe<br />

this screening tool will save lives.<br />

Our AngioScreen team<br />

includes a sonographer<br />

and two medical assistants.<br />

Patients will receive a<br />

comprehensive report that<br />

includes actual pictures of<br />

their arteries to share with<br />

their physician.<br />

Be Informed About<br />

Your Benefits<br />

By Tammy Lota<br />

Human Resources<br />

If you currently receive additional<br />

income that is equal to or greater than<br />

50% of your base salary at <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s<br />

<strong>HealthCare</strong> you may be wasting<br />

dollars if you have signed up for short<br />

term or long term disability insurance.<br />

Additional income includes disability<br />

(except military), retirement, pension<br />

(except military) or Social Security benefits.<br />

You could be paying for insurance<br />

that might have a $0 payout because of<br />

your additional income. If you are not<br />

eligible to receive the <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s short<br />

term or long term disability due to your<br />

additional income but signed up for the<br />

coverage for <strong>2011</strong>, check today with<br />

the Benefits department to determine if<br />

you are eligible to drop your coverage<br />

in these plans. Call the Benefits staff at<br />

Assessing Your Health<br />

Retirement Savings Plan<br />

By Jill Kelley<br />

Diversified Investment Advisors<br />

The New Year is a great time to assess<br />

your Ascension Health Retirement<br />

Savings Plan. Review the checklist<br />

below and try to complete as many<br />

items as you can.<br />

• Update your contribution rate. The<br />

beginning of the year is a good time<br />

to think about your expected<br />

earnings and expenses so you can set<br />

your contribution rate. Adding a<br />

small percentage of earnings now<br />

will give you a tremendous head start<br />

on your overall retirement savings.<br />

• Determine if your current investment<br />

mix (stocks, bonds, stable value<br />

funds) is right for your situation.<br />

• Establish or update your beneficiary<br />

designation.<br />

• Consolidate your retirement<br />

accounts. Did you leave money in a<br />

401k, 403b or IRA somewhere else?<br />

• Maximize your allowable contributions<br />

if you can. The IRS allows you<br />

to contribute up to $16,500 for <strong>2011</strong><br />

(up to $22,000 for those 50 or older).<br />

If you need help with any items on<br />

the checklist you may contact on-site<br />

Four Provinces of the Daughters<br />

of Charity Unite, Announce New<br />

Province and New Leader<br />

Emmitsburg Province Part of New Province<br />

The Daughters of Charity have announced<br />

the formation of a new<br />

province for their community by uniting<br />

four provinces in the United <strong>St</strong>ates<br />

and Canada into what will be known<br />

as the Province of <strong>St</strong>. Louise. The new<br />

province is named for <strong>St</strong>. Louise de<br />

Marillac, foundress of the Daughters of<br />

Charity along with <strong>St</strong>. Vincent de Paul.<br />

It will be incorporated in July <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

The process of unification, called Visioning<br />

for the Mission, began in 2007<br />

with a gathering of the Daughters of<br />

Charity from all of the uniting provinces<br />

in Buffalo, NY. From there a plan<br />

was developed to make their vision a<br />

reality. The Emmitsburg, MD; Albany,<br />

NY; <strong>St</strong>. Louis, MO and Evansville, Ind.<br />

Provinces have chosen <strong>St</strong>. Louis as the<br />

location of their new Provincial home<br />

and offices. The Daughters of Charity<br />

who serve with SVHC are currently in<br />

the Emmitsburg (MD) Province.<br />

The Daughters of Charity have as their<br />

“rule” that they are “sent” on mission.<br />

Being available to meet the needs of<br />

persons who<br />

live in poverty<br />

requires<br />

great mobility.<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Louis<br />

allows for that<br />

mobility with<br />

adequate access<br />

to public<br />

transportation.<br />

After consultation<br />

with all<br />

of the Sisters<br />

in the uniting<br />

Provinces (580<br />

Sisters), Sr.<br />

Louise Gallahue,<br />

currently<br />

the Visitatrix<br />

of the Albany<br />

Sr. Louise Gallahue, DC<br />

Province, has<br />

been designated<br />

by the international<br />

Daughters of Charity Superioress<br />

General, Sr. Evelyne Franc and the<br />

General Council to be the first<br />

Visitatrix of the new province.<br />

By Sr. Patricia Nee<br />

Vincentian Coordinator<br />

Your support of the food pantry has<br />

been a real blessing to our families.<br />

Thank you for the food that keeps<br />

coming from the various departments,<br />

as well as individuals.<br />

There is another way in which you<br />

can help the food pantry. If you shop<br />

at a store that has paper bags, you can<br />

request paper and donate the paper<br />

bags to the food pantry. Any assistance<br />

here is really appreciated.<br />

Thank you,<br />

Heart<br />

By Michele (Missy) Loudy<br />

Pharmacy Services<br />

The Department of Pharmacy Services<br />

recognizes and congratulates the<br />

following individuals for their recent<br />

accomplishments in advancing their<br />

clinical skills in order to provide superior<br />

quality patient care:<br />

Richard Walthour, PharmD<br />

Board Certified Pharmacotherapy<br />

Specialist certification (BCPS)<br />

The obtainment of advanced<br />

qualifications after the completion<br />

of formal training is challenging and<br />

is a sign of professional commitment.<br />

Being recognized as a board certified<br />

pharmacotherapy specialist is a<br />

prestigious honor. Less than 2.5% of<br />

all pharmacists in the United <strong>St</strong>ates<br />

receive the recognition.<br />

Thirty percent of the pharmacists on<br />

staff at <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Medical Center<br />

and 50% of the pharmacists on staff<br />

at <strong>St</strong>. Luke’s are now board certified.<br />

In addition, 47% of our pharmacists<br />

have completed post graduate residency<br />

training programs. The Department<br />

of Pharmacy Services is committed to<br />

enhancing the care provided to our<br />

patients in order to ensure optimal<br />

pharmaceutical care.<br />

Congratulations again to all for their<br />

tremendous achievements.<br />

It is always a pleasure to share<br />

comments that come from patients and<br />

their families in praise of outstanding<br />

associates, such as this letter that<br />

recognizes Beverly Mattos, who<br />

serves in Surgical Services.<br />

Good Day,<br />

I took my Aunt to the outpatient surgery<br />

center on Tuesday Nov. 23, 2010<br />

and we encountered Beverly. Beverly<br />

was very helpful getting us from place<br />

to place and was very nice. Without<br />

her we would have had trouble navigating<br />

through the construction and even<br />

knowing where to go each time we had<br />

to go somewhere.<br />

She is a very busy woman who seems to<br />

love her job and is certainly an asset to<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Hospital.<br />

Thank you and have a blessed day,<br />

Christmas<br />

Around SVHC<br />

SVHC associates celebrated the holidays<br />

in a big way by reaching out and sharing<br />

the holiday spirit with others.<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Catherine Labouré Manor associates<br />

have a tradition of placing names of<br />

residents in need on their Christmas tree<br />

for associates to adopt. This year 180<br />

residents received gifts of love that assured<br />

them they were not forgotten.<br />

SCLM associates also hosted a<br />

“Minute to Win It” Christmas party for<br />

the residents. Participants like<br />

Gene Miyamoto discovered “skills” they<br />

never knew they had!<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Luke’s Hospital associates know how<br />

to have a great time. Their Christmas<br />

celebrations included adopting 25<br />

families through the program coordinated<br />

by Sr. Clare Marie Angermaier and<br />

Bob Cook. Associates expressed their<br />

love by making sure 56 children and<br />

34 adults had wonderful gifts to open<br />

Christmas morning.<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Luke’s associates braced for the cold<br />

as they shared music and scripture during<br />

their Tree Lighting on the lawn.<br />

If you’ve never attended a Christmas party<br />

at <strong>St</strong>. Luke’s, you might want to plan to<br />

be there next year. The auditorium was<br />

packed with associates and their families<br />

and Santa and his elves. Homemade goodies<br />

and dozens of prize drawings could<br />

have been enough to make a fun evening<br />

but the party didn’t stop there. Geoffrey<br />

McDowell’s piano playing and Christina<br />

Carkuff’s vocals inspired the hushed audience<br />

to reflect on celebrating God’s Gift to<br />

us, His Son Jesus.<br />

The Sugar Plum Fairies were there in all<br />

their glory again this year! They were<br />

accompanied by a parade of costumed<br />

entertainers who sang and danced to<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Luke’s version of the 12 Days of<br />

Christmas:<br />

On the _ Day of Christmas,<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Medical Center associates<br />

weathered the freezing wind blowing<br />

off the river to attend the Tree Lighting<br />

program where they shared the scriptures<br />

and sang carols, accompanied by<br />

pianist John Mark Shaw from <strong>St</strong>. Justin’s<br />

Church. Soloists Elisabeth Mathews and<br />

Sabrina Walker roused the spirit among<br />

the crowd with their outstanding renditions<br />

of familiar carols! Hot tea and hot<br />

chocolate delighted participants as they<br />

came in from the cold for refreshments.<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s has a tradition of reaching<br />

out to elderly members of our community<br />

with a Christmas luncheon. About<br />

25 seniors came dressed for the occasion<br />

and thoroughly enjoyed a feast, catered<br />

by Food and Nutrition, and served by<br />

Christmas committee volunteers. Cherie<br />

Mooney and her Ya-Ya Sisters shopped<br />

for the seniors, purchasing and beautifully<br />

wrapping gifts taken from their<br />

individual Christmas wish lists.<br />

Adopt A Family<br />

Associates and physicians adopted 107<br />

families – that’s 351 children and 132<br />

adults whose lives were touched and<br />

whose holidays were brightened!<br />

<strong>St</strong>udents from <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s schools of<br />

medical training had a great time as they<br />

joined the Christmas committee members<br />

for two days of collecting and distributing<br />

the gifts to the families. Committee<br />

members welcomed their spirit and<br />

vitality – and appreciated their efforts in<br />

weathering the cold to load heavy gifts<br />

into cars!<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Christmas committee<br />

included Phyllis Appleby, Linda<br />

Boyett, Cheryl Bradwell, Sr. Virginia Ann<br />

Brooks, April Brown, Tracie Cox,<br />

Ursula Davis, Nancy Doyle,<br />

Susan DuChanois, Kathie Ford,<br />

Cherie Mooney, Sr. Patricia Nee,<br />

Haiti Medical Missionaries Perform Multiple<br />

Surgeries Delayed by Earthquake<br />

By William L. Cody, MD<br />

North Florida OB/GYN<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Division 4<br />

Dr. William Cody and<br />

Dr. William Long and seven<br />

other medical missionaries went<br />

to Fond des Blanc, Haiti on Nov.<br />

9, 2010 to perform gynecological<br />

surgeries that had been delayed<br />

due to the Feb. 2010 earthquake.<br />

The cases were canceled because<br />

beds were needed for patients<br />

with spinal cord injuries. The<br />

Fond des Blanc hospital treated<br />

many spinal cord injuries at<br />

their 60 bed facility. In fact, 15<br />

patients with spinal injuries are<br />

still at the hospital because their<br />

homes were destroyed and they<br />

have no other place to recover.<br />

The delay caused a significant<br />

back log of gynecological cases.<br />

The team arrived and lost no<br />

time beginning surgery and<br />

working until 9 p.m. the first<br />

night. A rigorous schedule was<br />

followed each day until the team<br />

completed the last surgery on<br />

Nov. 13. The team completed<br />

21 surgical cases in those 3.5<br />

days! All of the patients are<br />

doing well.<br />

The mission team volunteers<br />

included Drs. Cody and Long<br />

(GYN), Dr. Michael Soha<br />

(anesthesia), Dr. Vanessa<br />

<strong>St</strong>reicher (Family Medicine),<br />

Micki Somers RN, Sandy Logue<br />

RN, Ellen Mallette (surgical<br />

tech), Lina Saintus (Deerwood<br />

Rotary Scholar), and David<br />

Whiteside (Deerwood Rotary<br />

Ambassador).<br />

Kids Together Against Cancer<br />

Projects Displayed<br />

An art exhibit from our children’s<br />

support group, Kids Together<br />

Against Cancer (KTAC), is on<br />

display in the main <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s<br />

Medical Center lobby. “Our<br />

Journey” tells about the group’s<br />

purpose and various art activities<br />

that include writing, pottery, painting,<br />

and drawing. The full exhibit<br />

offered a glimpse of the art therapy<br />

our families create during their<br />

sessions and was on display at the<br />

Cummer Museum during the summer.<br />

As we reflect on the past year,<br />

let’s remember our calling to assist<br />

those in need.<br />

Introducing <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Open Heart Recovery and 5W Units<br />

Open Heart<br />

Recovery<br />

By Connie Michener and<br />

Karen Kesslar<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Open Heart Recovery<br />

(OHR) is an eight bed critical care unit.<br />

Patients come directly from the operating<br />

room and remain until they are<br />

stable and can be transferred to the<br />

2 East step down unit.<br />

The 22 OHR nurses are all highly<br />

qualified critical care (CC) nurses with<br />

50% credentialed as CCRNs. There<br />

are 10 ACP’s who function as unit<br />

clerks and monitor techs. The staff is<br />

like family, rallying together to care for<br />

each other in times of need. Leadership<br />

includes Director Pam Kleinhelter,<br />

Manager Connie Michener, Educator<br />

Magrieta Brandt, and Clinical Specialty<br />

Coordinator Karen Kesslar.<br />

OHR receives all patients who undergo<br />

cardiopulmonary bypass and other<br />

vascular cases. The nurses maintain<br />

hemodynamic stability, weaning from<br />

the ventilator and progressing as quickly<br />

as possible through the recovery stage.<br />

Patients who are too sick to progress are<br />

supported for as long as necessary by<br />

using hemodynamic support, ventilators,<br />

and other means of support.<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s was one of the first hospitals<br />

to perform open heart surgery in<br />

Jacksonville. <strong>St</strong>ents have decreased the<br />

annual number of heart surgeries from<br />

about 1,400 in the 1990’s to about 600<br />

currently, but they have increased the<br />

acuity of the patients who have open<br />

heart surgery. A significant number of<br />

patients have multiple co-morbidities<br />

requiring hemodialysis and mechanical<br />

ventilation for extended periods of time.<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s open heart recovery unit is<br />

a significant part of the huge success of<br />

Some of the associates in <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s<br />

Open Heart Recovery unit are (L-R):<br />

Jeannie Thornton, John Caba, Connie<br />

Michener, Sherry Gifford, Lori Toth, and<br />

Karen Kesslar.<br />

our heart program. <strong>St</strong>aff are dedicated to<br />

our patients, the unit and the hospital.<br />

“Once an Open Heart Nurse always an<br />

Open Heart Nurse.” – Connie Michener<br />

5W Telemetry Unit<br />

By Rebecca Rosano<br />

Five West is a busy 34 bed telemetry<br />

unit specializing in heart failure and<br />

renal failure. <strong>St</strong>aff performs continuous<br />

ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)<br />

for renal patients. Our patients receive<br />

disease specific education through videos,<br />

Heart Huddle, interactive/handson<br />

class and teaching at the bedside by<br />

our excellent nursing staff.<br />

Our commitment to excellence has<br />

resulted in receiving the Get with<br />

the Guidelines Heart Failure Bronze<br />

Achievement Award from the American<br />

Heart Association. We are also very<br />

proud of our recent success in becoming<br />

a Joint Commission<br />

Heart Failure Certified<br />

Hospital – third in the<br />

state of Florida and<br />

24th in the nation!<br />

Our success is the result<br />

of a multidisciplinary<br />

team approach, which<br />

includes Physicians,<br />

RNs, ACPs, Monitory<br />

Techs, Unit Clerks, Care Management,<br />

Laboratory, Radiology, Environmental<br />

Services, Pharmacy, Respiratory<br />

and Physical/Occupational Therapy.<br />

Community Giving<br />

Campaign<br />

By Phyllis Appleby<br />

Community Relations<br />

A special thank you to all<br />

of the SVHC associates and<br />

physicians who participated<br />

in our <strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Health-<br />

Care Community Giving<br />

Campaign. Associates who<br />

made a contribution were<br />

given a coupon to enjoy an<br />

ice-cream treat. Five lucky<br />

associates from <strong>St</strong>. Luke’s<br />

also won free tickets to a<br />

Jaguars game. Winners were<br />

drawn from associates who<br />

came to the cafeteria to get their icecream<br />

treat from Moody Chisholm,<br />

Donnie Romine and Lorraine Keith.<br />

Everyone stepped up to the plate and<br />

we increased our participation this year<br />

by 370%. Wow! Some departments got<br />

creative like the <strong>St</strong>. Luke’s Surgery associates<br />

who raised $300 at a garage sale.<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s is proud to be an organization<br />

that continues to demonstrate<br />

its ability to care about quality of life<br />

throughout our community. Your gifts<br />

and all that you do make our organization<br />

and our community a better place<br />

to live.<br />

Associate Deborah Reed received a thank<br />

Jennifer Jones, Health and<br />

Wellness Coordinator<br />

Physical activity is important at all stages<br />

of growth and development. Living an<br />

active lifestyle keeps the body well by<br />

maintaining a healthy weight, strengthening<br />

bones and muscles and improving<br />

heart and lung function. As most people<br />

age they become more sedentary and less<br />

active. We need to work<br />

harder to accomplish the<br />

CDC’s recommendation<br />

of 150 minutes (2 hours<br />

and 30 minutes) of<br />

moderate physical<br />

activity per week to<br />

maintain good health.<br />

Activity time can be<br />

achieved in a variety of<br />

ways over the course of<br />

a week. For example, one person may decide<br />

to do 30 minutes of activity five days<br />

per week, while another may decide to do<br />

25 minutes of activity six days per week.<br />

Remember to alternate between various<br />

types of activity to help keep fitness fun<br />

and exciting and provide optimal health<br />

benefits: cardio, resistance, strength, flexibility,<br />

etc.<br />

Common examples of moderate<br />

physical activity are:<br />

• Walking (20 minutes / 1 mile)<br />

• Bicycling (30 minutes / 5 miles)<br />

• Dancing<br />

• Water aerobics<br />

• Swimming laps<br />

Using a pedometer is a great way to track<br />

your steps everyday. Aim for 10,000 steps<br />

per day for greatest benefit. Remember<br />

to take the stairs instead of the elevators,<br />

park further away in parking lots and<br />

walk around while talking on the phone<br />

instead of sitting. You can also walk in<br />

place, squat and lunge or do jumping<br />

jacks during TV commercials.<br />

Sailors Visit Campus to Say Thanks for “Treats for Troops”<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Emergency Department associates<br />

rallied in support of our troops<br />

by sending their first collection of muchneeded<br />

and wanted items to a squadron<br />

with troops in Afghanistan in August.<br />

That was just the beginning of the associates’<br />

donations to “Treats for Troops.”<br />

In appreciation for the department’s multiple<br />

contributions, the Religious Ministries<br />

Department, NAS, sent letters of<br />

gratitude and visited the SVMC campus<br />

to personally thank the associates.<br />

LETTER OF APPRECIATION<br />

To Moody Chisholm and<br />

Kathy Courtney<br />

We would like to express our sincere<br />

appreciation for your generous donations<br />

in support of our deployed Troops. The<br />

efforts from Mrs. Brenda White and the<br />

16 JANUARY <strong>2011</strong><br />

contributions<br />

from your<br />

employees<br />

will greatly<br />

assist our<br />

annual<br />

“Treats for<br />

Troops”<br />

drive where<br />

we will send<br />

care packages<br />

to our<br />

Troops in<br />

Afghanistan. These packages will be a<br />

well received gift, especially as the<br />

holiday season approaches.<br />

Again, please accept our most heartfelt<br />

thanks for your assistance in this event.<br />

Mrs. White has been very supportive of<br />

the military and we appreciate all that<br />

she has done to make this event a great<br />

success.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Michael W. Music<br />

Service Awards Recognize Associates’ Dedication<br />

530 Associates Have Served SVHC for 5 – 50 Years<br />

You hear and read about them one or two at a<br />

time, but it’s not obvious how many long-standing<br />

SVHC associates there are until it’s time for<br />

Service Awards. This year, 530 associates were<br />

recognized for dedicating five or more years to<br />

serving those who turn to us in their times of<br />

need. Due special recognition is Richard Benjamin,<br />

who has served with us 50 years and he’s<br />

still going strong. Fred Oca isn’t far behind, with<br />

45 years of service.<br />

You’ll find the names of the 140 associates with<br />

20+ years of service listed in this article. The<br />

complete list can be found at www.jaxhealth.<br />

com/service2010.<br />

On behalf of the thousands of patients cared for<br />

during your time of service and your co-workers,<br />

Veterans’<br />

Wall of Fame<br />

Cardiopulmonary Rehab’s<br />

Display Honors Veterans<br />

By Kathie Ford<br />

Marketing<br />

As Veteran’s Day neared in November,<br />

Clinical Specialty Coordinator Lisa<br />

Dean, RN, with Cardiopulmonary<br />

Rehab, wanted a special way to<br />

honor the many veterans who are<br />

in the rehab program. She asked<br />

Colleen Welsh, RN, to head the project<br />

affectionately known as the Veterans’<br />

Wall of Fame! Welsh asked veterans<br />

to complete a short form, giving their<br />

names and dates of service and encouraged<br />

them to bring a picture taken<br />

while in uniform.<br />

As the names and pictures were posted,<br />

stories were shared and respect deepened<br />

for these servants who gave of<br />

themselves to keep us free.<br />

“The plan was to keep the Wall up for<br />

a couple of weeks, but it has touched<br />

so many hearts that no one wants to<br />

take it down,” says Welsh. She said one<br />

veteran brought his grandson in to see<br />

the display and another took a picture<br />

to send to his daughter. Another<br />

veteran who was out when the board<br />

went up, asked to have his name and<br />

picture added to the collection when he<br />

saw it weeks later.<br />

Cardiopulmonary Rehab associates<br />

(L-R) Colleen Welsh, Brenda Palmer<br />

(associate and veteran), and Lisa<br />

Dean stand in front of the Veterans’<br />

Wall of Fame, made in honor of the<br />

many veterans who are in their rehab<br />

program.<br />

“Many of these veterans have come to<br />

us for 10, even 20 years,” said Welsh,<br />

“and they are like family to us! This<br />

is a small way of saying thanks for all<br />

they’ve done for our country!”<br />

Service Excellence Coordinator<br />

Spirit Card Recipients<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s <strong>HealthCare</strong> Spirit Cards provide an excellent way to recognize co-workers for going above and beyond the call<br />

of duty for a patient, patient’s family or in helping other associates.<br />

If you know someone who should be recognized for going above and beyond the call of duty, you may fill out a Spirit Card<br />

on this person through the Intranet or contact Paula Naugle, the Service Excellence Coordinator, at 296-5843. Spirit Cards<br />

are available under Associate Services, located at the top right of the Intranet Home page. Please be sure to include the<br />

associate’s last name and unit so we may ensure they are properly recognized. The Spirit Card will be sent to the Service<br />

Excellence Coordinator, who will send a copy to the associate being recognized and the appropriate manager(s).<br />
