<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 />

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 />

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>. Luke’s gave to me…<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 />

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 />

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 />
