Welcome to Our New Unit 

Beebe Orthopaedics 

Ranked Among the Top 5% in the Nation

Top 5% 

in the nation 

and best in 

Delmarva 

for Overall 

Orthopaedics 

Beebe Medical Center has recently announced that its orthopaedic care is 

ranked among the Top 5% of all hospitals in the nation. The ranking is made 

by HealthGrades ® , the leading independent healthcare ratings company, and 

is part of a national study of patient outcomes in the nation’s 5,000 nonfederal 

hospitals. 

HealthGrades ® said that Beebe Medical Center is the only hospital in 

Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia to receive 5-star ratings for all orthopaedic 

procedures measured by HealthGrades ® . 

“We are honored to have earned this recognition from HealthGrades ® , 

and we are extremely proud of our Beebe team,” says Jeffrey M. Fried, 

Beebe Medical Center President and CEO. “Our goal at Beebe Medical 

Center is to continually strive to reach and maintain excellence in healthcare. 

This rating reflects the dedication of everyone in the medical center 

family—our medical staff, our employees, our Board of Directors, and our 

volunteers to consistently offer quality healthcare.” 

Beebe Medical Center also is ranked Best for Orthopaedics on the 

Delmarva Peninsula for the fourth consecutive year, and is ranked No. 1 

in Delaware for Overall Orthopaedic Care for the fourth year in a row. 

Satisfied Patients 

Milton resident Ann Chambers, an orthopaedic patient and longtime 

Beebe Medical Center volunteer, was not surprised by the news. 

“I was very pleased with my care,” says Mrs. Chambers, who had a total 

knee replacement in December 2008. “It was a good experience.”

are members of the Beebe Medical 

Staff. Together they bring expertise 

to the community in a variety of orthopaedic procedures, including joint and 

skeletal repairs, surgeries, knee and hip replacement, and spinal surgery. 

Beebe Medical Center brought specialized orthopaedic care to the community 

in 1980 when orthopaedic surgeon James Marvel, MD, started practicing in

Lewes. The care has grown to include the team of surgeons and anesthesiologists, 

Beebe Medical Center President and CEO 

as well as a trained and educated staff of healthcare professionals. Beebe Medical 

Center recently renovated a wing in the third floor of the Lewes hospital to house 

the increase in demand for orthopaedic services. Today, the new wing consists 

of 29 patient rooms and Hfour separate nursing stations. The specialized medical 

staff includes certified orthopaedic

The Orthopaedic Wing includes one section specifically designed for patients 

who have had joint replacement surgery. The recuperation program here includes 

a variety of medical technologies that help patients control their pain and swelling 

and start them walking within hours of surgery. In the case of patients recovering 

from hip surgery, occupational therapists work with the latest tools to help 

the patients get back to their daily routines such as getting dressed, putting on 

their socks, and picking up items from the ground without injury. 

Marie Berntsen, RN, ONC, Director of Orthopaedic Services at Beebe Medical 

Center, describes the care of joint replacement patients as a continuum that 

begins with education. Before surgery, patients are encouraged to attend one 

of the free classes that take place weekly 

in the new wing. Here the patients learn 

Hwhat happens in the surgery and what 

they Eneed to Ado to recuperate.

therapists and occupational therapists, 

Each morning a multidisciplinary team including nurses, 

physical therapists, occupational therapists, and a 

discharge planner meet in Beebe’s Orthopaedic Wing 

to discuss the special care and needs of each joint 

replacement patient. 

“We are honored to have 

earned this recognition from 

HealthGrades ® , and we 

are extremely proud of our

Good education for total joint replacement patients at Beebe Medical Center 

contributes to strong outcomes. Dot Chimienti, RN, conducts this class. 

work as a team with case managers and home health professionals to make sure 

that patients have a successful recovery. 

While patients with other surgeries, such as back surgery, do not normally 

require this extensive educational effort, they still receive information on their 

particular surgery and what they need to do to recover and return to a better 

quality of life. 

Convenient Rehab Locations 

Beebe Medical Center Outpatient Physical Rehabilitation and Imaging Services 

located in Rehoboth Beach, Georgetown, Millville, and Millsboro support the inhospital 

Orthopaedic Services. Physical therapy services in Millville, for example, 

offer patients a convenient location to continue with physical and occupational 

therapies following surgery. The physical therapy and imaging services in Millville, 

to meet the growing demand, will expand by March 2010. 

Mrs. Chambers says that not long after she got her new knee, she had no 

problem getting back to walking her Shih Tzu, Princess, four times a day. She 

also was able to get back to her activities at Epworth United Methodist Church 

in Rehoboth Beach. n

Vascular Services at Beebe Medical Center 

Creating a path to save your life 

Almeda Donaway of Georgetown says that Lewes 

vascular surgeon Mayer Katz, MD, and Beebe 

Medical Center saved her husband’s life. 

In May 2008, James Donaway was exercising 

on a treadmill in Georgetown when he began to 

suffer terrible pain in his legs. When he tried to 

sit down, he couldn’t move his legs and collapsed. 

The paramedics rushed him to the Emergency 

Department at Beebe Medical Center. 

“They said he had no circulation to his legs 

and that he had to have surgery urgently,” Mrs 

Donaway says, recalling how Dr. Katz took him Vascular patient James Donaway enjoys 

into surgery right away. 

his morning coffee and newspaper at his 

home in Georgetown. 

Mr. Donaway was diagnosed with “a complete 

occlusion of a previously done aortic graft”—in other words, Mr. Donaway’s 

main aortic artery, previously repaired at another hospital because of an abdominal 

aortic aneurysm (AAA), had become so blocked by clotting that blood could 

not flow into his legs. Without oxygen, both legs were becoming gangrenous. 

Mr. Donaway didn’t have much time and faced losing the use of his legs and 

even his life. Dr. Katz performed an emergency “right axillo bifemoral bypass” 

surgery—a procedure that created a “plastic” artery connecting a healthy artery 

near Mr. Donaway’s collarbone to the arteries in his groin that lead to the legs. 

Blood flow was promptly re-established, and today Mr. Donaway, at age 84, 

is able to walk and enjoy himself again. 

“We are so glad to have Beebe nearby,” Mrs. Donaway says. 

Expertise at Beebe 

While this surgery was more dramatic than many performed at Beebe 

Medical Center, it exemplifies the vascular services and expertise Beebe Medical 

Center offers the local 

community. 

Vascular disease is 

common, especially as we 

age. The vascular system 

is the complex network 

of veins and arteries that 

carry the blood throughout 

the body. When the 

system is healthy, blood 

flows readily from the

at Beebe Medical Center. 

Jane Fuller of Rehoboth Beach is back to her kite surfing just three weeks 

after her vascular surgery.

Risk Factors for 

Vascular Disease 

• Family history 

• Underlying issues that impact the cardiovascular 

system such as high blood pressure, high 

cholesterol, and diabetes 

• Obesity 

• Smoking 

• Sedentary lifestyle 

Prevention 

• Healthy lifestyle that includes: 

> Good nutrition 

> Regular exercise 

> No smoking 

> Maintaining a healthy weight 

> Finding ways to relax and be stress-free 

• Follow screening guidelines set down by the 

American Heart Association 

Beebe Medical Center encourages 

people to dial 9-1-1 if they suffer from 

these symptoms, which may signal a 

life-threatening vascular disease: 

• Temporary weakness in an arm or leg 

• Brief blurring or loss of vision in one eye 

• A moment of numbness in an extremity or 

the face 

• Difficulty speaking or forming words 

• Momentary dizziness or loss of consciousness 

Contact your physician if you suffer 

from these symptoms, which also 

may signal a life-threatening vascular 

disease: 

• Pain in the calf or thigh after walking a 

short distance 

• Changes in skin color, or foot sores that 

don’t heal

heart and lungs and back again, delivering oxygen and nutrients so that our 

bodies work smoothly. However, if there are blockages in this system, such 

as from blood clots or plaque, or the walls of the vessels either harden or 

narrow, life-threatening complications such as heart attack and stroke can 

occur. A life-threatening aneurysm can occur when the walls of certain vessels 

in the body weaken. 

Beebe Medical Center offers several vascular services. A specialized and 

highly trained staff in the Vascular Lab performs several tests used to diagnose 

diseases and blockages in the vascular system throughout the body. The tests 

can be performed on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Beebe has 

state-of-the-art equipment, 

including color-flow duplex 

doppler, which is capable 

of the most sophisticated 

non-invasive diagnostic 

procedures available. 

The Intersocietal 

Commission for the 

Accreditation of Vascular 

Laboratories has accredited 

Beebe’s Vascular Lab since 

August 1994. 

Registered vascular technologist Nicole Boyd, RVT, performs a lower extremity 

pulse volume recording on a patient. LEPVRs use blood pressure cuffs to obtain 

waveforms and blood pressures to assess for peripheral vascular disease.

Beebe Medical Center surgeons and surgical staff 

perform several different surgeries targeting the specific 

veins or arteries needing repair. Primary care 

physicians work with patients to monitor and maintain 

their health, and other specialist physicians on 

the Beebe Medical Staff treat patients for a host of 

vascular-related illnesses including peripheral arterial 

disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and heart disease. 

Beebe Medical Center’s Community Health Department 

regularly offers health screenings with the goal 

of early identification of these illnesses. 

“While we promote healthy lifestyles and preventive 

efforts to avoid the risk of vascular disease, we 

know that it is a very real problem, especially among 

the growing retiree populations in the communities 

we serve,” says Lynn Amey, Executive Director of 

Cardiac and Vascular Services. “We are proud to be 

able to offer advanced vascular care, and we look 

forward to continued growth in our services.” 

Surgery Clears Blocked Artery 

Jane Fuller of Rehoboth Beach is an athletic 

65-year-old who regularly does kite boarding at local 

bays and beaches. She is a veteran at balancing herself 

through the waves on a board while at the same 

time clutching an overhead bar attached to a kite. 

One day last summer when she was at home, both 

her arms and hands started stiffening up. She collapsed. 

Today she knows that 9-1-1 was called and 

that she was rushed to Beebe Medical Center. She 

was diagnosed with a 90 percent blockage in one of 

her carotid arteries. The carotid arteries, one on each 

side of the neck, carry blood to the head and the 

brain, where thinking, speaking, feeling, and motor 

functions are found. Dr. Katz performed an endarterectomy, 

the surgical removal of plaque, and finished 

with a patch graft. 

“She’s an incredible woman,” Dr. Katz says, 

adding that she is doing well in her recovery and 

he expects to see her soon on her kite board. 

Bill Meyer of Milford is another patient who 

in 2008 had to have an endarterectomy for a blocked 

carotid artery. While his also was 90 percent blocked, 

he wasn’t having any symptoms. The blockage was 

found through a regular checkup. 

Blocked carotid arteries are commonly referred 

to as “the silent killer,” because so often there are 

no symptoms. A blocked carotid artery, in fact, is a 

major risk factor for ischemic stroke, which is the 

most common form of stroke and is usually caused 

by a clogged artery. 

Today Mr. Meyer, retired mechanical supervisor 

from Nestle, says he’s doing just fine. He spends 

much of his time helping others. n 

“While we promote healthy lifestyles and preventive 

efforts to avoid the risk of vascular disease, we know 

that it is a very real problem.”

Shopping With Your Heart in Mind 

Making the Right Choices 

It’s easy to get overwhelmed when walking into a supermarket. There are so 

many choices. Most of us know that fresh fruits and vegetables are essential to 

a healthy diet. We know that fresh fish is important and that we should only eat 

red meat in moderation. Most of us know that chicken and turkey are best eaten 

without the skin because that’s where all the fat is. What about everything else 

Habib Bolourchi, MD, a Lewes cardiologist and member of the Medical Staff 

at Beebe Medical Center, has taken us on a tour of a local supermarket to help 

us make the best nutritional choices in regards to our heart. The most important 

rule is to read labels, he says. That way, you are assured of being in charge of 

what you are buying and what you are eating. One ingredient Dr. Bolourchi 

strongly warns against is “trans fat.” 

“It has no known benefit,” he says. “It is associated with coronary disease and 

no one should eat it.” 

Other names for trans fat are “partially hydrogenated oils and hydrogenated 

vegetable oils.” It’s not unusual to have a product label state “trans fat free,” 

yet a close look at the list of ingredients will reveal that the item has “partially 

hydrogenated oils.” That means that the food product contains less than 0.5g 

of trans fat per serving. Luckily for all of us, in recent years many manufacturers 

have removed trans fat from the list of ingredients in processed foods. Peanut 

Above: Beebe cardiologist Dr. Habib Bolourchi advises shoppers to read the nutritional labels, even on dairy products. 

Left: Compare “like” products. Campbell’s Select Harvest brand, for example, has less fat and sodium than the 

Campbell’s Chunky brand.

The most important rule is to read labels. 

butter, for example, used to be a big culprit. 

The most important rule to follow in the rest of 

the store, he says, is to read the nutritional label. 

• Don’t depend on what is written on the front of 

the can or package as there may be surprises on 

the nutritional label. For example, a lite or low- 

fat product can contain a high percentage of sodium, 

also known as salt, which should be avoided if 

you suffer from heart disease. Even healthy adults 

should not eat more than 3,000mg of sodium a 

day, according to the American Heart Association. 

• Dairy products can be high-fat culprits, though 

they are rich in calcium. Balance your choices. 

If you occasionally enjoy whipped cream, go for 

nonfat when you buy milk and ice cream. Some 

dairy products have high amounts of sugar and fat. 

Take yogurts, for example, as their ingredients and 

nutritional values are varied. Non-fat yogurt can be 

Low-fat cheeses like feta often have more 

sodium than other cheeses, such as cheddar. 

filled with sugar. Check out the plain 

yogurts. You can get 

one of those and 

add your own fresh 

fruit when you get 

home. Dairy products 

also can contain 

high amounts 

of cholesterol, and 

too much of that leads to heart disease. Try not 

to eat more than 300mg a day. Saturated fat also 

increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. 

• Canned and juiced tomato products usually 

are loaded with sodium, but there are some 

low-sodium options from which to choose. 

• Canned soups and vegetables, as well as canned 

fruits, also demand your attention. Check the 

labels. If you are on a low-sodium diet or have 

problems with high blood pressure, it’s better 

to either buy the soups low in sodium or make 

your own from scratch. 

• Fruit juices are not “fresh fruit.” They 

are loaded with sugar. Be aware of 

how much sugar you are consuming, 

especially if there is diabetes in the 

family. Again, read the labels. Some 

are better than others. 

• When you’ve got that craving for 

snack food, find those that are 

lower in fat and sodium. By 

checking and comparing labels, 

you can easily find the ones right 

for you. Pay particular attention 

to whether the snack items 

include trans fat, which has been 

associated with coronary disease. 

• Most commercial salad dressings 

are fat and sodium culprits. Check the serving 

sizes. The calories can be as high as 250 per 

serving, and that’s usually for only two tablespoons. 

How much do you use Buying any 

one of a number of vegetable oils and vinegars 

will allow you to 

make healthier 

dressings. n 

Salad dressings generally are loaded 

with fat. “Lite” usually means less 

fat but also can mean more sodium. 

Read labels on snack items to find the 

ones that are best for your health.

Advanced Technology 

Digital Mammography 

To improve the early detection and treatment of breast cancer, Beebe Medical 

Center is offering digital mammography services at four convenient locations 

in eastern Sussex County. 

The services are located at Beebe Medical Center’s main location on 

Savannah Road in Lewes, at Beebe Health Campus on John J. Williams 

Highway (Route 24) in Rehoboth Beach, at Beebe Imaging at Georgetown 

Professional Park on Office Circle just off Route 113 in Georgetown, and 

at the Beebe Imaging Center in Creekside Plaza, on Route 26 in Millville. 

“By offering this imaging technology in locations easily accessible to 

our growing population, we hope that women decide to get their annual 

mammograms,” says Beebe Medical Center radiologist Ellen Bahtiarian, MD. 

While digital mammography is similar to traditional film mammography 

in many ways, it has advantages. Since there is no waiting for film to be developed, 

images are immediately available for review by the technologist. Images 

rarely need to be repeated for quality issues. For patients this means that they 

spend less time in the exam room. For radiologists, it means an image that 

can be easily viewed and analyzed, as well as shared with other physicians 

and diagnosticians electronically. 

Beebe Medical Center radiologist Ellen Bahtiarian, MD, enjoys working with 

digital technology. 

10

“Regular mammograms are critically important so 

that we can catch cancer in the earliest possible stage.” 

ellen Bahtiarian, MD 

Radiologist 

Tunnell Cancer Center radiation oncologist Janete Mills, MD, says digital 

mammography is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of 

breast cancer. 

Dr. Bahtiarian says that 

she enjoys working with the 

digital technology because 

she can manipulate the 

images, just as she might 

do with a personal digital 

camera. 

“I can adjust the image, 

making it darker or brighter, 

or even larger so that it is 

easier to see subtle differences 

in the tissue,” she 

explains. “The images can be stored in the computer so that you always have 

them. They are never lost. And because they are electronic, they can be placed 

on a digital imaging network for other physicians to view.” 

The technology also allows the radiologist to magnify images that might 

otherwise be difficult to view, as well as to increase the contrast when imaging 

dense tissue. This option is especially important because dense breast tissue 

and breast cancer can have similar density on a mammogram. 

Janete Mills, MD, a radiation oncologist at Beebe Medical Center’s Tunnell 

Cancer Center, says the technology is one more tool to support the Beebe 

Medical Center medical team in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. 

“It allows our multidisciplinary team at Beebe Medical Center another opportunity 

to work together in our effort to treat our patients,” she says, explaining 

that the medical center’s oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and other medical 

professionals already work closely when diagnosing and treating cancer 

patients. 

The Beebe Medical Center Auxiliary has supported the hospital in its decision 

to invest in digital mammography by recently presenting the hospital with 

$275,000 to purchase one of the machines. 

“This is truly an important technology for Beebe Medical Center and we are 

committed to supporting the medical center in its efforts to bring quality healthcare 

to our community,” says Betty Surbaugh, Auxiliary President. 

Both Dr. Mills and Dr. Bahtiarian urge women who are 40 years old or older, 

or who are at high risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer, to get annual 

mammograms. 

“Don’t skip even one year,” Dr. Bahtiarian says. “Regular mammograms are 

critically important so that we can catch cancer in the earliest possible stage.” 

Appointments can be made by telephoning the Beebe Medical Center 

Radiology Scheduling Department at (302) 645-3278. A physician’s referral 

is required. n 

Facts about Mammography 

• According to a government trial, digital mammography 

was significantly better than film mammography 

in screening women who were under age 50 or 

women of any age who had very dense breasts. 

• Digital mammography allows improvement in image 

storage and transmission because images can be 

stored and sent electronically. 

• Death rates from breast cancer have been declining 

since 1990, and these decreases are believed to be 

the result, in part, of earlier detection and improved 

treatment. 

Facts about Breast Cancer 

Not counting some kinds of skin cancer, breast 

cancer in the United States is: 

• The most common cancer in women, regardless of 

race or ethnicity. 

• The most common cause of death from cancer 

among Hispanic women. 

• The second most common cause of death from 

cancer among white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, 

and American Indian/Alaska Native women. 

• In 2005 (the most recent year numbers are 

available): 

> 186,467 women and 1,764 men developed 


> 41,116 women and 375 men died from 


Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 

The American Cancer Society recommends these 

screening guidelines for breast cancer: 

• Yearly mammograms should start at age 40 and 

continue for as long as women are in good health. 

• Breast self-exam is an important option for women 

starting in their 20s, as they should know how their 

breasts normally feel, so that they can report any 

changes to their healthcare providers. 

• Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical 

breast exam (CBE) as part of a periodic (regular) 

health exam by a health professional, preferably 

every three years. After age 40, women should have 

a breast exam by a health professional every year.

Giving for a Purpose 

Casey Walsh, RN, a nurse at 

Beebe Medical Center, utilizes 

a monitor similar to those in the 

Cardiac Cath Lab. 

Robert Edgell still remembers the panic he felt 

in 2007 when he learned his wife, Lynn Edgell, had 

suffered a stroke while alone at their summer house 

on Lewes Beach. 

“I was in my office in Dover,” he recently 

recalled. Somehow, she was able to get to the telephone 

and dial 9-1-1. Within minutes the paramedics 

arrived and quickly got her to Beebe Medical Center 

in time for the treatment that not only saved her life 

but also allowed her to enjoy her life once again. 

“As we all know, the treatment one receives in the 

first three hours after a stroke is critical to the prospects 

of recovery,” Mr. Edgell wrote in his letter to 

Beebe Medical Foundation Executive Director Alex 

Sydnor. The letter reported on Mrs. Edgell’s good 

recovery and accompanied a donation of $25,000 so 

that Beebe Medical Center could help other patients 

at risk of stroke. 

“Mr. Edgell’s generous gift is greatly appreciated 

and has helped Beebe Medical Center as we continually 

improve the care we provide our patients,” Mr. 

Sydnor says. 

With the donation, Beebe purchased new Philips 

IntelliVue patient monitors for its Cardiovascular 

Institute. These monitors are used to observe 

patients’ vital signs, such as blood pressure, pulse, 

respiration, and oxygen saturation as patients recover 

from diagnostic arterial studies. The monitors 

also store information for later viewing or trending. 

Blockages of the carotid arteries are frequently 

the cause of Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs) or 

strokes. TIAs are sometimes called “warning” or 

“mini” strokes and can signal that a patient is at 

high risk to suffer a stroke. 

Many donors have designated gifts to a specific 

Beebe program that has helped them or a member 

of their family. Directed gifts allow donors to express 

their commitment to a service they strongly believe 

in to support their local, not-for-profit, communityowned 

hospital. This year, for example, 15% of the 

funds to be spent on capital projects come directly 

from the Beebe Medical Foundation. 

“Donations are critically important to Beebe 

Medical Center,” says Jeffrey M. Fried, Beebe 

President and CEO. “It would be difficult for us to 

continue to grow, expand, and develop the services 

we provide to our community without them.”

Beebe Honor Roll of Donors (7/1/2008–6/30/2009) 

Beebe Medical Foundation was established in 1989 with the sole mission 

to raise philanthropic support for Beebe Medical Center. 

Through the efforts of the Foundation more than $28 million has been 

raised to support new construction and renovation of medical facilities, 

new and ongoing medical programs, and to establish an endowment fund 

to ensure Beebe will always be available for this community. 

As an independent not-for-profit organization Beebe Medical Center relies 

on the generosity of the many individuals, businesses, and foundations that 

are listed in this Honor Roll of Donors. 

Beebe Medical Foundation is located in the former home of Dr. Richard Beebe, who co-founded 

Beebe Medical Center in 1916 with his brother Dr. James Beebe. The house originally stood down 

the street on the site of what is today the clinical building of the hospital. 

School of Nursing Campaign 

The proceeds from the School of Nursing Initiative will benefit Beebe Medical 

Center’s School of Nursing construction project. 

There is a critical nurse shortage in Delaware and across the country. Nurses 

provide frontline care and comfort at difficult times in patients’ lives. 

The new nursing education building will double the capacity of the current 

nursing class and enable us to graduate more nurses. The new facility will also 

provide the latest technologies in nursing education.

South Coastal Health Campus Campaign 

The proceeds from the South Coastal Health Campus Campaign will help develop 

a new outpatient medical facility in the Millville–Ocean View area. The new 

facility will effectively double the outpatient capacity that is currently offered 

at the Millville facility. 

The facility will include summer-only emergency services, a comprehensive 

physical rehabilitation department, a walk-in laboratory and EKG services, 

and a complete diagnostic facility with CT, MRI, mammography, plain-film 

X-ray, and ultrasound.

Jean & Joan Fund Golf Tournament 

October 7, 2008 

The Jean & Joan Fund was established in the memory of Jean James and Joan 

Martin, two outstanding women who lost their valiant battle with cancer. During 

their final months, both women were surrounded by families that loved and cared 

for them and a circle of friends who generously gave their time and support. 

It is most important that people going through these trying times receive all the 

physical and spiritual support available. The goal of the Jean & Joan Fund is 

to assist the Tunnell Cancer Center in providing care and comfort for patients. 

The fund has supported the establishment of the Jean & Joan Reflection Center 

at the Tunnell Cancer Center, purchased two vans for the transport of patients to 

and from their treatments, funded the building of the enclosure for the Tunnell 

Cancer Center Healing Garden, and supports the Tunnell Cancer Center Special 

Needs Fund. 

The 2008 Golf Tournament raised $30,000, bringing the total Jean & Joan Fund 

contributions since its inception to $250,000.

Progress for Prostate Charity Golf Tournament 

July 17, 2008 

Cripple Creek Golf and Country Club’s Progress for Prostate Charity Golf 

Tournament was established by a group of individuals who wanted to focus 

attention on prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer 

found in American men, other than skin cancer. Early detection is the key to 

combating this disease. 

The 2008 tournament raised over $22,000 bringing the total contributions of 

Progress for Prostate Charity Golf Tournament to over $100,000 to help Beebe 

Medical Center provide free prostate screenings and community awareness 

programs.

Thank You for Caring! 

Dear Friend, 

The Emergency Department at Beebe Medical Center 

opened its new $12.5 million, 20,000-square-foot facility 

on the first floor of the Joseph R. Hudson Wing, funded 

in part by the Vision 2005 Campaign. Thanks to hundreds 

of donors the emergency services staff is able to deliver 

more efficient and effective treatment to the 41,000 

patients who come through our doors annually. 

Beebe’s Lewes Emergency Department now boasts 30 

treatment rooms, plus seven cardiac/trauma rooms. 

Process improvement and state-of-the-art technology, 

including our own CT scanner, enable faster patient flow 

for our growing numbers of older and sicker patients. 

Other patient-friendly enhancements include: 

• a “lean tract” for non-urgent care 

• bedside registration 

• direct to bed when available 

More than 60 percent of ambulance patients in Sussex 

County are brought to Beebe. The skilled paramedics 

in Sussex County, serving under my medical direction, 

along with that of Paul Cowan, DO, and other physicians 

in Sussex Emergency Associates (SEA), play an important 

role in the early treatment and stabilization of patients 

en route to Beebe Medical Center. Our Level III trauma 

service enables Beebe to deal with almost any situation 

that might confront us. 

The physicians, nurses, technologists, and support staff 

in the Emergency Department all take great pride in 

our work. We thank you for your support. However, our 

patients, some of whom might be your family members, 

friends, or neighbors, have reason to celebrate the most. 

Gratefully, 

Kevin D. Bristowe, MD 

Chief, Emergency Services (April 2008) 

classic at baywood Greens charity golf tournament 

June 3, 2009 

The Classic at Baywood Greens Golf Tournament was established by a committee 

of individuals that partnered with local sponsors to benefit the Tunnell Cancer 

Center. The Classic’s contributions allow expanded comprehensive cancer care 

service. From diagnosis through treatment and beyond, patients at the Tunnell 

Cancer Center are never alone. 

The 2009 Golf Tournament raised $30,000 to assist Beebe Medical Center in 

providing both hope and wellness to cancer patients and their families. The 

committee greatly appreciates the local sponsor support.
