07.21.2010 Auxiliary Purchases New Bilibeds for the Nursery at Henry Medical Center

image
Henry Medical Center’s Auxiliary recently purchased two portable Medela BiliBeds for the hospital’s Nursery.

The portable beds offer new mothers the opportunity to keep their newborn with them even as the baby receives treatment for jaundice.  The Medela BiliBeds create a baby-friendly treatment environment in which the newborn is wrapped in a soft Bilicombi (special blanket) that keeps the baby in the correct position.  The newborn is then placed in a bassinet on a light-permeable, skin-friendly film mattress with a light unit underneath.  A donation of $5,500.00 from the Henry Medical Center Auxiliary was used to pay for the two bilibeds.

Henry Medical Center’s Auxiliary is dedicated to assisting the hospital in providing first class care.  Purchasing equipment to improve hospital services is one of the primary goals of the 32-year-old organization. 

07.15.2010 Henry Medical Center Opens the Only Radiation Oncology Center in Henry County

image
Henry Radiation Oncology Center’s first patient underwent treatment on Monday, July 12 successfully bringing radiation therapy to Henry County. 

Expanding on its commitment to healthcare in a growing community, Henry Medical Center in a joint venture with Radiation Oncology Services broke ground on a new, freestanding outpatient radiation oncology center in June 2009.  The 10,000 square foot building located on Henry Medical Center’s main campus is home to state-of-the-art technology including the Elekta Synergy® linear accelerator, Philips Pinnacle® Treatment Planning System, Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) and electronic medical records.image

The Elekta Synergy® linear accelerator combines the most advanced radiation therapy techniques in order to treat cancer with precision and accuracy while sparing the organs around the cancer resulting in a greater chance for cure with fewer treatment related side effects. 

Philips Pinnacle® Treatment Planning System allows a radiation oncologist the ability to customize a specific treatment plan for each patient.  The system offers the radiation oncologist views of the radiation dose in 3-dimensions; thus, maximizing the cancer-killing radiation to the cancer while minimizing the radiation to other areas of the body.

Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) allows even more precision when treating cancers in sensitive areas of the body.  As part of the Elekta Synergy® linear accelerator, VMAT also enhances treatment delivery by decreasing the overall daily treatment time making a course of radiation therapy more convenient for patients.

Services at Henry Radiation Oncology Center are provided by the highly trained and experienced physicians and staff of Riverdale-based Radiation Oncology Services including board-certified radiation oncologists and medical physicists, certified medical dosimetrists and radiation therapists, oncology nurses and support staff.

Patients seeking treatment at Henry Radiation Oncology Center will not only have access to cutting edge treatments but also private patient dressing rooms, spacious exam rooms, a patient and family conference room, comfortable waiting areas and convenient parking. 

Henry Medical Center and Radiation Oncology Services are both accredited by the Joint Commission.

06.17.2010 Henry Medical Center and Piedmont Healthcare Agree to Open Affiliation Discussions

Henry Medical Center and Piedmont Healthcare are placing their exclusive negotiations regarding a potential affiliation on hold. 

After a three-month identification and review process, Piedmont Healthcare was unanimously selected by the combined boards of Henry Medical Center, the Hospital Authority of Henry County and Henry Health System as its partner of choice with which to pursue formal negotiations. However, the Henry County Board of Commissioners and members of the Henry Medical Center Medical Staff recently voiced concerns regarding the process Henry Medical Center used to select Piedmont Healthcare.

“Although we are confident in the process used to identify and evaluate the best partner for our hospital, we believe it is in the best interest of all involved to re-open our process to allow other interested parties to be re-assessed in a more comprehensive way,” said Charles F. Scott, president and CEO of Henry Medical Center.

To facilitate this process, Piedmont Healthcare and Henry Medical Center have agreed to work toward modifying the Letter of Intent to provide for a waiver of the exclusivity clause, enabling Henry Medical Center to expeditiously review interest from other organizations. Both organizations remain committed to continuing discussions with each other as well.

“Piedmont Healthcare welcomes competition and values transparency during these types of processes. We agree that this is the best course of action at this time,” said Gregory A. Hurst, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Piedmont Healthcare. “We want everyone to be as confident as we are that an affiliation with Piedmont Healthcare is the best choice for those served by Henry Medical Center.”

06.17.2010 Henry Medical Center Employees Pledge $70,000 during 2010 Employee Campaign

Henry Medical Center Foundation’s 2010 Employee Campaign ends as another record-breaking year with Henry Medical Center employees pledging $70,000 to the Foundation.

Each year, the employee campaign focuses on the purchase of equipment or technology that will have immense benefit to the community.  Funds from this year’s campaign will be used to purchase LifeNet Stemi, a device that allows EMTs in the field to communicate EKG results directly to the Emergency Department.  LifeNet Stemi will also play a vital role in Henry Medical Center’s Angioplasty program scheduled to begin later this year or early 2011. 

“The employees of Henry Medical Center continue to show their commitment to the care of our community in amazing ways including their support of the Foundation.  With each passing year, more employees take an ownership interest by joining the campaign and investing in our future by securing equipment and technology that impacts the healthcare provided at HMC,” said Adam Stanfield, executive director of the Henry Medical Center Foundation.

06.07.2010 Henry Medical Center’s Laurel Park Receives National Honor for Exemplary Workforce Satisfaction

image
Henry Medical Center’s Laurel Park Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation facility recently received My InnerView’s Excellence in Action award, a national honor recognizing Laurel Park’s commitment to superior workforce satisfaction. 

Over 5,000 nursing homes in the country participated in a 2009 workforce satisfaction survey.  This year’s award for superior workforce satisfaction was presented to select My InnerView customers who completed the survey with a minimum 30 percent response rate, and scored in the top ten percent of qualifying facilities on the question “What is your recommendation of this facility as a place to work?” in terms of the percentage of respondents rating the facility as “excellent.”

“This year’s award recipients deserve to be recognized and applauded for their dedication to workforce satisfaction,” said Neil Gulsvig, President, My InnerView.  “This annual award underscores the difference they make and serves to honor the valuable work that they do.”

My InnerView, the applied research and quality-improvement solutions provider that presents the annual award, supports leaders across the entire senior care profession with tools to measure, benchmark and improve performance. 

Laurel Park has been a part of the Henry County community for ten years.  The facility specializes in providing rehabilitation services to individuals following knee, hip, and other orthopedic surgeries or following a stroke.

This is the first year that Laurel Park has earned this national award.

06.07.2010 Henry Medical Center Earns Two Accreditations for Its Nuclear Medicine Laboratory

image
Henry Medical Center recently received accreditation by Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories (ICANL) for its commitment to high quality patient care in nuclear medicine and nuclear cardiology.

More than 10 million nuclear medicine imaging and therapeutic procedures are performed each year in the United States. The imaging procedure is effectively used in a broad range of medical specialties from pediatrics to cardiology.  Nuclear medicine tests are capable of diagnosing or ruling out diseases in every major organ system in earlier stages than other available medical procedures. 

Nuclear cardiology testing procedures allow both the pump function and the blood flow of the heart to be assessed.  As a result physicians are able to detect the presence of cardiovascular disease and may also discover important information regarding the occurrence of future heart attacks. 

Henry Medical Center is one of the first hospitals in Georgia to be recognized for its commitment to high quality patient care and its provision for quality diagnostic testing by the ICANL in both nuclear medicine and nuclear cardiology.

Participation in the ICANL accreditation process is voluntary and provides a peer review mechanism to encourage and recognize excellent nuclear medicine and nuclear cardiology diagnostic evaluations. 

“The Nuclear Medicine department at Henry Medical Center chose to apply for the accreditation to demonstrate its commitment to quality patient care and diagnostic evaluations.  This is not a mandatory accreditation which means we chose to undergo a very through and rigorous examination to receive this recognition,” said Joe Fernandes, director of Nuclear Medicine at Henry Medical Center.

A non-profit organization, ICANL is dedicated to ensuring high quality care and to promoting health care.  ICANL was established with the support of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, the Society of Nuclear Medicine, the Society of Nuclear Medicine Technologist Section, the American College of Cardiology, the American College of Nuclear Medicine, the Academy of Molecular Imaging, and the American Society of Radiologic Technologists.

05.11.2010 Henry Medical Center Names its First DAISY Award Recipient

image
Henry Medical Center recently honored Travis Cochran, RN as the hospital’s first recipient of the DAISY Award.  The award recognizes nurses who go above expectations and consistently demonstrate excellence through clinical expertise, extraordinary service, and compassionate care to patients and their families.

The DAISY Award, an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System, was created by The DAISY Foundation which was established in 2000 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes.  Barnes died from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) at age 33.  The Barnes family created the national DAISY Award to say thank you to nurses for the care they give every day. 

Tena Barnes, Patrick’s wife, presented Cochran with A Healer’s Touch hand-carved stone sculpture and DAISY pin during a Nurses Week Celebration event held at Henry Medical Center on Friday, May 7, 2010.  Cochran was nominated by Henry County resident Tony Lotti for the exceptional care he showed to Lotti’s mother during her stay at Henry Medical Center.  Lotti commended Cochran for his compassion in caring for his mother as well as his concern for Lotti and his brothers as they learned their mother had cancer. 

Cochran was among 17 nurses nominated for the DAISY Award.  Other nominees include Martson Atkinson, RN; Sonia Bryan, RN; Joey Forte, RN; Regina Hill, RN; Sharon Jester, LPN; Ramonica Jordan, RN; Monique Joseph, RN; Dana Knight, RN; Mary LeMahieu, RN; Nikki McLamb, RN; Kena Morton, RN; Katherine Mote, RN; Roxie Plemons, RN; Karen Petty, RN; Edna Schiller, RN; Ryan Sua, RN.
DAISY Award nomination boxes are located throughout Henry Medical Center.  Patients, their families, physicians, and others are encouraged to nominate nurses they feel are outstanding providers of care.  Nomination forms are also available online at http://www.henrymedical.com.  Each month a nurse will be selected to receive the DAISY Award.

The DAISY Award at Henry Medical Center is sponsored by its Auxiliary.

05.11.2010 Henry Medical Center Announces its 2010 G.R.E.A.T. Ambassador

image
Dana Knight, RN has been named Henry Medical Center’s G.R.E.A.T. Ambassador. 

Created by the Georgia Hospital Association (GHA), this designation celebrates and showcases the commitment and caring that hospital employees bring to their job, community and to the Georgia health care industry.  The G.R.E.A.T. Ambassador Program, which stands for Giving Recognition for Excellence, Advocacy, and Teamwork, provides hospital employees the opportunity to tell their personal stories about how they chose a health care profession, why they like their job and what they like about working for their hospital.

“Dana is an ideal recipient for Henry Medical Center’s G.R.E.A.T. Ambassador recognition,” said Maribeth Ledford, director of Human Resources at Henry Medical Center.  “Dana is a Clinical Coordinator in the Emergency Department.  She shared her heart warming story of the compassion she and her family received from her father’s nurses early in her life.  This compassion molded her desire to be that same compassionate caring human being and excellent nurse she is today.”

Each hospital employee, not just caregivers, was invited to submit a story to their human resources department.  The essays were personal stories explaining what being a health care employee has meant to them.  The human resources department chose a G.R.E.A.T. Ambassador to represent the hospital and submitted the essay to GHA.  All ambassadors receive a recognition certificate and pin from GHA.

Henry Medical Center sold Real Men Wear Pink t-shirts, flags from each of the U.S. military branches, fish sandwiches, hotdogs, hamburgers, sodas and water during the evening as part of its fundraising efforts.

04.27.2010 Henry Medical Center Volunteer Receives Golden Henry Service Excellence Award

image
Henry Medical Center Auxiliary member Nancy Jaudon recently received the Henry Medical Center Golden Henry Service Excellence Award. 

Jaudon was chosen as a top member of the hospital community through Henry Medical Center’s “Cause for Applause” program used to recognize hospital employees and volunteers who go above their daily job descriptions to make a difference.

Jaudon was called upon to comfort a woman as she learned of the passing of a loved one.  Jaudon stayed with the woman until other family members from out-of-town could come be with her.  It was an experience that opened the door for more Auxiliary members to receive grief training so they too could be prepared to assist in a crisis situation. 

Jaudon is the first volunteer at Henry Medical Center to earn the Golden Henry Service Excellence Award.

04.20.2010 Piedmont Healthcare & Henry Medical Center Sign Letter of Intent to Continue Affiliation Discussions

Piedmont Healthcare and Henry Medical Center have signed a Letter of Intent to pursue an affiliation and continue discussions that would serve to develop a Definitive Agreement delineating the relationship. Both organizations seek long-term sustainability in the changing marketplace.

Charles F. Scott, president and CEO of Henry Medical Center, stated, “Our combined Boards also decided to explore other options about the exact nature and scope of the relationship that would provide for a stronger integration between our two organizations, as we move forward in partnering with Piedmont to continue to deliver high quality cost-effective healthcare to the citizens of Henry County and surrounding areas.”

“We are eager to continue our discussions with Henry Medical Center to explore how, together, we can best serve the needs of the local community,” said R. Timothy Stack, president and CEO of Piedmont Healthcare. “Especially given the recent legislative activity at the state and national levels, it is even more important for hospitals and healthcare organizations to evaluate ways we can work together in an increasingly challenging environment.”

Gregory A. Hurst, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Piedmont Healthcare, added, “Piedmont’s business model is built on a philosophy of providing high quality clinical care and compassionate caring in a cost-effective manner. We welcome the opportunity to share our experience with Henry.” 

At this time, any additional detail regarding the definition of the possible affiliation would be premature and is prohibited by the agreement.

03.16.2010 HMC Auxiliary Names Scholarship in Memory of Beloved Volunteer

image
Henry Medical Center and its Auxiliary have lost a dedicated member of its volunteer team following a spirited battle with cancer.

Michael “Mike” Therrien had just retired and was looking for volunteer opportunities when he saw an HMC Auxiliary member out shopping in her uniform.  That was July 1993 and, from that day on, Therrien made a commitment to become a valuable member of the Henry Medical Center Auxiliary.  He often commented that his time at HMC was “a real opportunity to serve the people.”  Anytime the hospital was out in the community supporting different events, Therrien was there.  His joy of volunteerism was also reflected in his work with the Boy Scouts and assisting in the start up of the first soapbox derby in Stockbridge.

Therrien was instrumental in the Henry Medical Center Teen Volunteer program which is how the Auxiliary has chosen to remember his service to the hospital.  The Mike Therrien Scholarship will be awarded each year to a teen volunteer who plans to pursue a career in healthcare.  The teen must complete the scholarship application, serve two summers in the HMC Teen Volunteer program accruing more than 100 hours of service, earn excellent evaluations, maintain at least a 3.0 average in high school, be accepted by a college, provide a current academic resume including volunteer experience, and complete a short essay explaining why he/she is interested in a healthcare profession and what qualities he/she possess that would make him/her a successful member of a healthcare team.

Mike Therrien lost his fight against cancer Wednesday, March 3, 2010.  He was told of the plans for a scholarship in his name before his passing.  He was “truly honored” and “very humbled” by this honor.

03.10.2010 Piedmont Healthcare and Henry Medical Center Explore Affiliation

Piedmont Healthcare and Henry Medical Center have signed a confidentiality agreement to discuss and explore the possibility of an affiliation between the two organizations, the nature of which is undefined at this time. Both organizations seek long-term sustainability in the changing marketplace.  At this time, any additional detail regarding the definition of the possible affiliation would be premature and prohibited by the agreement.

Charles F. Scott, president and CEO of Henry Medical Center, stated, “We are not talking about the sale of Henry Medical Center. However, we see many benefits to working with Piedmont.  As we consider healthcare developments locally, the potential future impact of healthcare reform, and other changes at the state and federal levels, we realize it would be highly beneficial to align with a strong, highly regarded regional healthcare system.” 

“Piedmont Healthcare has a successful business model that is committed to serving the needs of communities,” said R. Timothy Stack, president and CEO of Piedmont Healthcare. “We welcome the opportunity to share our ideas with the leadership of Henry Medical Center and learning from them as well.”

Gregory A. Hurst, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Piedmont Healthcare, added, “Piedmont is excited about the potential to develop a relationship with Henry Medical Center. We look forward to exploring this relationship for the benefit of the patients and communities we serve.”

02.26.2010 Noelle Birthing Simulator Arrives at HMC

Henry Medical Center’s Labor & Delivery Department recently held it’s initial in service training on its new “Noelle” Birthing Simulator mannequin.  “Noelle” is a state-of-the-art, comprehensive teaching system that combines the best of patient care simulators with advanced childbirth simulation.  “Noelle” is designed to provide a complete, simulated birthing experience before, during, and after delivery.  She can be programmed to have “real life” reactions to medications, delivery complications and more.

The arrival of the “Noelle” Birthing Simulator mannequin compliments the training Henry Medical Center’s Marcia G. Taylor Women’s Center nurses and staff have already benefited from with its SimBaby infant simulation mannequin - “Simantha”.  SimBaby “Simantha” plays a major role in bringing “real life” reactions to mock codes training in the Nursery.  Pat McAfee, manager of Women and Infants Health, was present during a recent mock codes training.  She says “Nurses love ‘Simantha.’  She makes it so real to them.”

Both Sim “Noelle” and SimBaby “Simantha” were purchased through the Henry Medical Center Foundation by combining donations from the Auxiliary, an anonymous donor, and a grant from the Chaparral Foundation.
