Digital Mammography Coming to Penrose Hospital!

We will soon be offering digital mammography at our cancer center, thanks to Penrose-St. Francis Health Foundation. Diane LeBlanc, Foundation president, reported that the $420,000 for this project has been secured, thanks to the generosity of our donors – a significant number of whom are associates!  Last year, employees had the opportunity to give to this project through the PSF and Centura Administrative Services associate campaigns. About $58,000 was designated for digital mammography at Penrose Hospital.  

“Our associates are incredibly generous and compassionate”, said LeBlanc. “By providing this technology, they are making a life-saving difference for the thousands of women who have mammograms at Penrose Hospital each year.”   

"I'm extremely excited about adding digital mammography to our arsenal of tools in the fight against breast cancer," said Margaret Sabin, President and CEO. "I can't thank our Foundaton and donors enough for making this happen for us during a time when capital funds are at a premium. It truly shows their commitment to our mission of nurturing the health of the people in our community."

Foundation staff surprised Lonnie Cramer and Diane Williamson and presented a certificate for “Free Digital Mammography Equipment,” redeemable immediately.

Meet Your Executives

This is a weekly column where you can meet your Penrose-St. Francis executives.

When you walk into St. Francis Medical Center, most people recognize that it feels different than most other hospitals. It’s more than the new feel to the building, the wonderful artwork or the spectacular views of Pikes Peak. Those of us who work here know it is the people that make this hospital special.

“As a leader, my goal is to surround myself with great people, give them the tools they need to do their job, give them a sense of direction of where we are going as an organization, and then to get out of their way and watch them make it happen,” said Nate Olson, CEO of St. Francis Medical Center. “My role is to help create such an incredible environment and culture that if you want to work in a hospital setting, you can't imagine working anywhere else but Penrose-St. Francis!”

Nate traces his career from being the CEO of Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center in Salida to serving as the CEO at St. Thomas More Hospital. But he will tell you the highlight of his career was being asked to serve as the CEO of SFMC. His goal is to make this the absolute best hospital for our patients to receive care, for our doctors to practice, and for you, our associates, to find it rewarding and fun.

 “It's hard to describe what I do everyday because everyday is a new adventure,” said Nate. “Most of my time is spent in meetings with all sorts of constituents; sometimes it is dealing with an unhappy patient or family member, other times it is meeting with doctors to determine how we can improve the operations of the hospital in a way that they feel valued as a partner and they feel their patients are receiving great care. One of my favorite roles is simply to be out there with our front line team members, cheerleading.”

Nate will readily admit that most of his time is spent working or thinking about the hospital. Every now and then, he will take off his CEO hat for a few minutes. Golf, movies and family vacations are all things he enjoys when he is not working but you will most likely see him driving around town with the top down enjoying one of our beautiful Colorado days. “I love to drive around in my latest convertible!”

Nate married his high school sweetheart, Kris, 28 years ago. He still considers her his best friend and soul mate. “I have two awesome daughters,” said Nate. Jackey is 21 and recently married a terrific young man named Micah. She works for Colorado Springs Orthopedic Group at Sisters Grove so they get to have lunch together every now and then. Hannah is a freshman at Loyola Marymount University in LA studying animation...she wants to make movies like Avatar.

“One of my favorite sayings is "if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." I try to live and lead by that rule.”

Department Spotlight

WHO TAKES CARE OF THE CARETAKERS?

Thankfully, we have a wonderful Occupational Health staff to provide for our needs as we minister to the needs of our patients and community. The Occupational Health Department consists of three amazingly organized ladies, Sherrie Gray RN, Heidi Bouwens RN and Bria London MA. Between the three of them they have an astounding number of plates spinning as they serve over 3000 associates at Penrose Main, St. Francis Health Center, St. Francis Medical Center, Penrose Urgent Care, Langstaff Brown Urgent Care, and CCOM.  In addition to those associates, they look after staff at, Namaste, Medalion, IT, ASC, and SET.

Occupational Health takes care of all associates who are injured while at work by filing claims and acting as a liaison between the associate, the insurance carrier and the physician. The Occupational Health Nurses monitor exposures to blood and body fluids as well as investigating possible communicable disease exposures. Not only do they care for associates when they are exposed but they also take care of physicians and allied health professionals who are exposed at the hospital as well.

Additionally, their workload includes seasonal responsibilities such as administering 1915 H1N1 Flu shots and 2195 seasonal Flu shots this Fall (lets not forget all the paperwork and data entry that goes with each individual needlestick). They also monitor year round projects like keeping associates current on their TB screening and TB mask fitting.  They ensure associates and new hires are up to date on immunizations as needed.

The Occupational Health Department is very involved in education. They provide education to associates regarding vaccine preventable diseases. They are a major part of the development and implementation of safe patient handling initiatives for CHI to decrease injuries of patients and staff. They also conduct ergonomic evaluations of associates’ workspace when requested. On a regular basis, they meet with all the Centura Occupational Health Nurses from across the state to discuss and implement ways to care for and protect all associates.  In numerous ways, they really do have our backs!

Thank You Sherrie, Heidi and Bria, for taking such great care of us!!!!

On a final note, the Occupational Health Department has exciting news. They have just moved into their new offices on the first floor of the Margery Reed building.

Guests were given a tour of the cardiovascular center.

In the work of love...

“In the work of love, only the wounded can serve.”

Within our health care system, there are numerous opportunities to listen to other people’s stories.  Patients relate their medical history to their doctors and nurses. Families disclose their concerns and fears regarding a loved one’s illness to a large variety of staff. Associates tell one another of the pearls and perils of their lives. Frequently, the response to anyone who shares a difficulty with us will be, “Oh, I know just how you feel.”  Most often, this is true. Many of us have been wounded by life experiences of fear, loss, grief, despair, and injustice. It is those wounds, those swift and deep experiences with suffering, that inform our encounters with others—that enable us to be beacons of light and hope for one another—that give a genuine depth to our response that we know just how another feels. It is our own ordinary / extraordinary suffering that gives us the grace to do the work of love within this community of healing.        

Thoughts for Lent

The mood for Lent is one of seriousness—one that encourages deep thought and increased awareness - awareness of ourselves, both in solitude and in relationship. That explains the age-old Lenten emphasis on prayer and charitable giving to the poor.  

Here are some spiritual thoughts from our fellow associates:

Sue Jardon, Director of Colorado Sport & Spine & CCOM

Lessons from a Four Year Olds’ Sunday School Class

When they hear the 23rd Psalm, and look at the big picture book; they know that they are just like those little sheep.

When I tell them Jesus loves them so much; they know immediately that this is the truth. They know that they are “precious treasures” to Him (and their eyes sparkle as this sinks into their spirit.)

They know that Jesus will look for that one little lamb when it gets lost (even though He is busy with ninety-nine others). They are glad that He keeps on looking until He finds the lost sheep, and brings it back safely to the flock.

Four year olds know that they can trust God completely. They understand   Isaiah 40:11: 

 “He will feed His flock like a shepherd;
 He will gather the lambs with His arm,
 And carry them in His bosom,
 And gently lead those who are with young.”

They love holding the soft, cuddly white lamb next to their heart, and they kiss it gently. In that moment, they feel right next to the heart of God. They love the warmth, gentleness and holiness of His sweet presence.

Four year olds love to sing, play instruments, jump and dance wildly as they sing praises to our God. (When did we forget how much fun it is to worship God?)
                                        
 Praying for each of you today that you will remember some things that you learned       long ago, as a small child: Know that you are precious to the Father, and He loves you so much.

If you are lost, the Good Shepherd will continue to pursue you with His love, until He finds you. (He has been there the whole time, waiting for you.)

Know that the joy of the Lord is our strength. And praising Him makes us stronger, and fills us with great joy every day.

Understand that the Good Shepherd carries His lambs right next to His heart.

Bill Lutchey, Environmental Services, SFHC

Proverbs 18:16   A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.   God brings us before great men, as we offer our gifts in service to others.

Sandra Duve, PSF Volunteer Services Coordinator

My dad carried a small prayer card with him through WWII and later had the message written in his Bible.  It was his daily reminder that God loves us so much and is always with us.  Dad died of cancer in 1981 at the age of 62.   The prayer is titled, "God Loves You" by Jon Gilbert.

Remember that God loves you and cares for you each day.
Remember that He guards you and guides you on your way.
Remember that His blessings with each day fall anew.
Remember there is no limit to what His love can do.
But most of all remember while stars shine up above,
No power can ever pluck you from the circle of His love.

What's NUT to Love?!

Census 2010

“Take 10” and Help El Paso County and Colorado Springs, Colorado Get What it Needs for the Next 10 Years

In March 2010, more than 130 million addresses will receive a 2010 Census form by mail or hand delivery. The 2010 Census will document the changes in our nation since the last decennial census in 2000, and tell us how we’ve evolved as a country. Because census data affect how more than $400 billion in federal funding is distributed to tribal, state and local governments, the census also will frame the future of our country and our community for the next 10 years.

During Census 2000, the mail participation rate was 72 percent as of the April 2000 cut-off. About $85 million is saved for every one percent increase in mail participation. For these and many other reasons, we must work to encourage everyone’s participation in the census.

 Here’s what you should know about the 2010 Census:

It’s easy. One of the shortest census forms in history, the 2010 Census form asks 10 questions and takes about 10 minutes to complete. The individual in whose name the housing unit is rented or owned should complete the form on behalf of every person living there, both relatives and nonrelatives.

It’s important. Census data are used to reapportion seats in Congress and ensure proper district representation in state and local governments. Information from the census helps determine locations for child-care and senior centers, new roads, hospitals, schools and community centers.

It’s safe. By law, the U.S. Census Bureau cannot share respondents’ answers with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement entities. All Census Bureau employees take an oath of nondisclosure and are sworn for life to protect the confidentiality of the data. The penalty for unlawful disclosure is a fine of up to $250,000 or imprisonment of up to five years, or both.

Finally, the most efficient way to respond to the 2010 Census is to complete the form as soon as it arrives and return it in the postage-paid return envelope. Census workers will visit households that do not return forms to take the count in person.

For more information about the 2010 Census and the “Take 10” initiative, visit 2010census.gov.

Laughter is the best medicine

Laughter is the best medicine…

This is the first in a series of fun stories to help brighten your day and put a smile on your face.

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from the name plate that her name is Patricia Whack. “Mrs. Whack,” he says, “I’d like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation.” Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much money he wants to borrow. The frog says, “$30,000.”

The teller asks his name and the frog responds, “Kermit Jagger, my dad is Mick Jagger; it’s OK, he knows the bank manager.” Patti explains that $30,000 is a lot of money and that he will need collateral to secure the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral. The frog says, “Sure, I have this,” and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patti explains that she’ll have to have a consult with the manager and disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and says: “There is a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and who wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral.” She holds up the tiny pink elephant. “I mean, what the heck is this?”

(ARE YOU READY?)

The bank manager looks back at her and says, “It’s a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man is a Rolling Stone.”
