MSHA receives TNCPE Excellence Award for second time Mountain States Health Alliance was formally recognized as the recipient of the 2009 Excellence Award at the Annual Conference of the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence (TNCPE) in Nashville, Tenn. MSHA previously received this recognition in 2005, thus making MSHA the only healthcare organization in Tennessee to receive this recognition twice. “A large number of our leadership attended the events of the conference, which featured past Baldrige National Quality Award recipient speakers, as well as several of our team who have been involved in helping lead MSHA’s quality journey,” said MSHA President and CEO Dennis Vonderfecht. Vonderfecht and MSHA Vice President of Quality Tamera Fields both presented at the conference, sharing the healthcare system’s model for quality delivery of health care and its performance improvement process. 2009 Excellence Award 22
Niswonger Children’s Hospital Opening The dream has finally become a reality. After nearly five years of fundraising, community support and steady construction, Niswonger Children’s Hospital opened March 3, 2009. The $36 million, 69-bed hospital for children admitted patients approximately one year ago. “This is truly a great and momentous day for our region,” said Dennis Vonderfecht, president and CEO of MSHA. “With the opening of Niswonger Children’s Hospital and its associated Children’s Emergency Department, the Tri-Cities joins the other four metropolitan areas of Tennessee in having a full-service children’s hospital.” Niswonger Children’s Hospital is named after lead donors Scott and Nikki Niswonger of Greeneville, Tenn., who gave $10 million toward the construction. Using natural light to provide feelings of comfort and healing, the main entrance lobby and threestory glass atrium-lined hallways provide bountiful light. The stained glass kite gallery suspended from the ceiling provides a calming environment to the patients and families. Direct care nurses’ feedback was crucial to the design and work flow of the patient care provision areas in the new Niswonger Children’s Hospital for efficient delivery of patient care. Directcare nursing team members were involved in all of the renovation and refurbishment projects for the patient care units. Women’s and Children’s nursing team members participated on multiple teams in the design of the new Niswonger Children’s Hospital. 23 bringing loving care to health care | www.msha.com
