Sunday's Flood
Thousands of gallons of water flooded the basement of Penrose Hospital early Sunday morning. An eight inch water main that entered the building cracked and sent water flowing down Cascade Ave. and into the basement of the hospital. It took approximately two hours to get the flow of water shut down. Most of the water was removed from the building by noon but the clean-up of the basement will be ongoing for quite a while.
A special thanks goes out to Maintenance, Environmental Services and all of the other staff who came in on a Sunday to help clean-up.

2010 Associate Campaign
Going Above and Beyond
The balloon has been attached to the basket and inflated. The flames have been lit to lift the balloon and the balloon has taken flight. The sky is crystal blue with fluffy clouds and the sun is high and bright. The colorful balloon is less than $10,000 away from the altitude goal! It’s not too late to participate with a gift – YOU can push us over the goal and take us to even greater heights. Remember, any gift is important and will provide crucial assistance to associates and patients in the coming fiscal year.
And, for those of you who have contributed every year for the past 10 years, we will soon be sending invitations to our Decade of Caring luncheon. If you have contributed for the past nine consecutive years, your gift this year will qualify you for this distinguished group and you will be invited to our luncheon at the end of June.
Hour Club gifts will be distributed on June 15 at Penrose Hospital and June 16 at St. Francis Medical Center. We will have tables set up by the W elevators at Penrose Hospital and in the cafeteria at St. Francis Medical Center from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. and 6 p.m.-9 p.m. Please mark your calendar to pick your gift up if you donated at the Hour Club level.
For more information regarding the 2010 Associate Campaign, please see one of the Executive Committee members or Campaign Volunteers (wearing red ribbons) or contact Penrose-St. Francis Health Foundation at 776-7760. Back to Top

Congratulations to the SFMC ED
Patient satisfaction is critical to the success of our organization. When patients come to us, they are often scared, frightened, anxious, and in pain. It takes everyone focusing on providing the best patient experience possible to overcome these barriers. It is through providing the best patient experience that we grow as an organization and sustain our viability for years to come.
The HCAHPS survey is the primary method by which we measure our patient experience. As an organization, we have set our goal to be in the 90th percentile.
For the month of February, the SFMC Emergency Department surpassed that goal and achieved a score in the 99th percentile!
This is amazing and is something only one percent of all hospitals in the country attain!
Thank you & Congratulations! Back to Top

CyberKnife Turns One!
Can you believe our CyberKnife has been in use here at Penrose for a year? It seems like only yesterday that we unveiled this amazing piece of cancer fighting technology.
Remember these headlines?
The Penrose Cancer Center is now offering CyberKnife technology, a non-invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of cancerous tumors anywhere in the body.
Penrose-St. Francis Health Services is the first and only hospital in southern Colorado to utilize the CyberKnife System.
Believe it or not, we started treating patients on May 20, 2009.
First year facts:
• We have treated 172 different patients in the past 12 months.
• Our youngest patient was 25, the oldest was 85
• We have treated as many as seven patients in one day
Want to learn more?
If you are interested in learning more about some of the exciting things we have done with the CyberKnife in the first year, join us for an informal Lunch and Learn with Dr. Monroe at noon on Friday, June 18 in the Cancer Center Conference Rooms.
Watch for more details on this event as we get closer.

A Community Hero!
Imagine that you are shopping in King Soopers and you hear an overhead page asking any doctor or nurse to respond to aisle nine. What would you do? Would you leave your family and go to help or would you hope someone else would respond to the call for help and just continue your shopping?
April McPike, RNC, Labor and Delivery Clinical Coordinator at St. Francis Medical Center, was faced with this decision last Saturday. It only took her a second to make a decision and she quickly made her way to help. “I’ll never forget aisle nine,” said April.
When she got there, she found a lady having a seizure. The patient’s son was there and was able to offer a little medical history to help April and another nurse who showed up to help. As they began to care for the patient, her condition deteriorated rapidly. It wasn't long before the nurses agreed that they needed to begin CPR. April began compressions and the other nurse began giving rescue breaths.
“This was the first time I have had to perform CPR outside of the hospital,” said April.
As they completed a few cycles of CPR, they stopped to check the patient and found that she had begun to breathe again on her own.
Paramedics arrived soon after and took over care of the patient. As the paramedics were taking care of the patient and preparing to transport her to St. Francis Medical Center, April went over to the other nurse and gave her a pat on the back and said that they had done a good job.
“What kind of nurse are you?” asked the other nurse.
“I am a labor and delivery nurse,” said April.
“I am an oncology nurse,” said the nurse.
Both ladies smiled.
Coming off of Nurses Week, EMS Week and our community CPR training at Sky Sox last week, this story couldn’t come at a better time to illustrate the difference we make in our community every day.
Thank you April! Back to Top

Meet your Leaders
This is a weekly column where you can meet your Penrose-St. Francis leaders.
As I continue to interview our leaders, I am surprised how many of them are retired from the Air Force. If you have been reading this column each week, you know that Charlie Stein (last week’s featured leader) and Dr. Walsh had successful Air Force careers. This week’s featured leader also recently retired from the Air Force.
Brian Sarpy, Director of Support Services, retired from the USAF in September 2005. He joined Penrose-St. Francis in early 2006, soon after retiring. Brian was fortunate enough to step into his current role only a few months after joining the organization. He has the privilege of overseeing Environmental Services, Nutrition Services, Security and Valet. “My day consists of addressing all issues related to these departments,” said Brian, “and, oh yea, meetings.” One of his biggest challenges and what keeps him up at night is trying to think of ways to improve employee satisfaction.
“Currently, I am doing a lot of school during my off time,” said Brian. “I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts Degree in Healthcare Administration.”
Between work and school work, family is a big part of his life. “I have been married to Becky for 24 years and we have four children,” said Brian. “Shane (22) is in the Marine Corps stationed in California. Scott (20) will be starting his senior year at CSU-Pueblo. Stefan (13) will be starting 8th grade and Skyler (11) will be in 6th grade. I also have a beautiful granddaughter, Elise, who is 19 months old and a grandson, Colin, who is seven months old.”
Life isn’t all work, family and school. Now that summer is almost here, like most of us, Brian said that he and his family enjoy working in their yard.

Outstanding Hand Washing Compliance
Environmental Services is recognized for exceptional hand washing compliance
Environmental Services touch the lives of every person entering the hospital and, as a result, are the first line of defense to hospital acquired infections.
"We are very proud of our associates because they recognize this fact and are vigilant regarding proper hand hygiene" said Brian Sarpy, director of support services.
How do they do it? All EVS associates simply follow the guidelines and use the hand sanitizer before entering and when exiting every room they are working in.
"We are really proud of them as they all go the extra mile," said Brian. Back to Top

Disaster Exercise
Disaster Exercise
To all associates:
On Saturda,y June 5, Penrose St. Francis will be participating in a county wide Mass Causality Incident (MCI) full-scale exercise. The exercise will involve 17 local emergency response agencies in addition to the Pikes Peak American Red Cross, local Medical Reserve Corp., Penrose-St. Francis Health Services and Memorial Health System.
As a result of this exercise, we will be receiving actor/patients for the exercise who will be moulaged to represent traumatic injuries. These actor/patients will be brought into the emergency departments of both hospitals and then moved through the system to involve as many departments as possible in this exercise. The Joint Commission requires that we ‘stress’ our system at least once a year and this exercise will fulfill this requirement.
Please be prepared to explain to patients and visitors that some “patients” they may see in the halls are actors from our MCI exercise. Thank you in advance for your support during this annual exercise.

PSF Art Show
At a recent lunch with Margaret, associates expressed interest in learning more about the wonderful artwork that decorates our hospitals. This is a weekly series featuring the artwork and historical pieces seen in our hospitals.

The beautiful stained glass in the Chapel at St. Francis Medical Center was designed by Mark Gulsrur from Tacoma, Washington. It is difficult to see in this photo but the two rows of glass squares in the middle of each piece are the stations of the cross. You really have to see this in person to appreciate the colors and lighting. Lights were installed outside the windows so people in the chapel could enjoy the glass at night. Back to Top

CPR Day
On May 18, more than 4400 community members joined us, along with the Colorado Springs Fire Dept., at Sky Sox stadium for a free community CPR training session. While we didn't break the world record, we did provide the CPR Anytime training to a large number of people, ultimately helping our community.
Here are some photos from the event...

Baseball fans of all ages participated in the training.

Colorado Springs Fire Dept. chiefs took to the field to demonstrate proper technique.

Dr. Jack Sharon (and his baby) threw out the first pitch of the Sky Sox game.

Flight for Life landed next to the stadium and the crew showed off the helicopter to participants.

Jill Woodford and Julie Cox from Marketing passed out a File of Life to everyone who attended the event.

Laughter is the best medicine
This is a weekly series of fun stories and jokes to help brighten your day and put a smile on your face.
An employee review...
Judy Smith, my assistant, can always be found
hard at work in her station. Judy works independently, without
wasting hospital time talking to colleagues. Judy never
thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and she always
finishes given assignments on time. Often, Judy takes extended
measures to complete her work, sometimes skipping coffee
breaks. Judy is an individual who has absolutely no
vanity in spite of her high accomplishments and profound
knowledge in her field. I firmly believe that Judy can be
classed as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot be
dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Judy be
promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
executed as soon as possible.
Regards - Charge Nurse
Shortly thereafter, the HR department received the following memo from the Charge Nurse:
Sorry, but Judy was reading over my shoulder while I wrote the report sent to you earlier today. Kindly read only the odd numbered lines for my true assessment of her... Back to Top

Why Dig Up the Dirt This Summer
By: Christina Bortnem, Penrose- St. Francis Dietetic Intern
Although the weather may not be showing signs of summer, we can hear the birds chirping and know it is just around the corner. For some, summer shouts baseball season, boating, or enjoying a warm hike. But for others, it means opening up the shed and digging out the gardening tools. Gardening is a popular hobby for many reasons.
Gardening can be more difficult here in Colorado because of the high altitude levels. Being patient and selecting the best plants for the temperature will keep gardening pleasurable. The benefits of gardening are vast. It is a fun activity for relaxing in the great outdoors, and a place to soak up some vitamin D. Having a garden is for all ages and puts your creativity to the test. It’s a great way to exercise. Digging and shoveling can be just as intense as heading to the gym and cheaper too. If saving money is important, gardening allows you to grow your own vegetables and fruits for less cost than purchasing them at the grocery store. After all your hard work, consuming your own creations can be satisfying. You can benefit from the great flavors as well as the high amounts of nutrients.
The many fruits and vegetables grown in a garden are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, potassium, magnesium, iron, and fiber. Beta-carotene which has the highest activity of vitamin A is found in the dark or yellow vegetables such as carrots. The vision cycle is the main biological function of vitamin A. Vitamin C is necessary in the body to form collagen in bones, cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels as well as aids in the absorption of iron. Typically, vitamin C is found in the citrus fruit family. Potassium is a nutrient critical in the body for nerve and muscle cell function. Potassium rich foods include bananas, potatoes, spinach, oranges, and tomatoes. Magnesium also helps maintain muscle and nerve function as well as keeping bones strong. Green vegetables, such as spinach, are high in magnesium. Folate is a form of vitamin B. It helps the body make new cells. Folate is especially important before and during pregnancy to prevent any birth defects of the brain. It is found in leafy vegetables and fruits. Iron is an essential component of proteins involved in oxygen transport. Iron is found in a majority of the body as hemoglobin and a smaller amount found in myoglobin. Fiber has many health benefits. Mostly known for its ability to relieve constipation, fiber can also lower risk of heart disease and diabetes. Many fruits and vegetables contain fiber.
If you are a beginner gardener here are some tips:
• You don’t need a big backyard to have a garden. When choosing a spot, pick a place that is convenient and easy to maintain.
• Most vegetables want direct sunlight for at least 6 hours so find a sunny spot.
• Start small, you do not want to be overwhelmed by weeds and general keep up.
• Having healthy soil is important. You want it to be rich and well-draining. Temperature of the soil is important to pay attention to as well. The soil should be above 39 degrees.
• Be ready to cover your crops if a late frost were to arrive.
• Anticipate pests. Building a fence may be an appropriate action to keep out the unwelcome visitors.
• Spread your plants out to avoid bad bugs. Too much of the same plant in one place will send the signal to the other bugs to munch in that area.
• Make sure to stay on top of your harvest and pick the produce when it is ready. This will allow the energy from the plant to mature the later forming crop.
By planting and eating from our own gardens one can help reduce the amount of produce that is shipped from other states and countries. We have the land to produce our own food so why not use it? If gardening just isn’t for you visit our local Farmer’s Markets. This way you can support the community while enjoying fresh produce. To find a listing of the local Farmer’s Markets visit http://www.coloradofarmers.org/. Back to Top

Hikers enjoy beautiful views as they climb to 7,600 feet to the top of Olinger Mount Lindo, home of the illuminated cross in Morrison.
All funds raised from Hike for Hospice go towards supporting charity care and hospice services not reimbursed by the Medicare Hospice Benefit including spiritual care, bereavement services, volunteer coordination and palliative care for children through the Butterfly Program.
Hikers can release a dove at the summit in honor or memory of a loved one while overlooking downtown Denver and the foothills. Leashed dogs are also welcome to hike.
