Town Hall Meetings

It’s only an hour!

Did you know there are 168 hours in the next week? Or, did you know there are 8,760 hours in the next year?

How about spending one of those hours to find out what is going on here at PSF? You are invited to join the executive team for a Town Hall meeting this week. I can hear the groans now… not another meeting! Well, this one is different. (Don’t roll your eyes, I’m serious.) How many meetings have you gone to lately that start off with a fun video about you? Following the video, our executive team has developed a short presentation about where we, as an organization, have been, where we are now and what we can all look forward to in the near future. The last part of the meeting is reserved just for you. It is there for you to ask questions directly of the executive team.

So, I encourage you to invest an hour of time and learn a little more about PSF. You will be glad you did.

Meet your Leaders

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

For those who know him, it is pretty clear that his humorous and “can do” energetic spirit is highly contagious. I’m talking about Larry Higgens, Director of Supply Chain Management. When I asked him to tell me something most people don’t know about him he said, “I used to play saxophone in the Baltimore Colts marching band.”  I would have never guessed that one.

Larry began his PSF career with the opening of SFMC in August 2008 as the Director of Supply Chain Management. What does that mean? It means that he is responsible for overseeing all aspects of managing materials for our Colorado Springs facilities.
 
Originally from Maryland, he worked his way through college at the Harbor Hospital Center, graduated from the University of Baltimore with a B.S. in Management and continued on to attain his M.B.A. He started his career in the food service area and quickly moved into materials management. His next 10 years were spent in Delaware, as the System Director of Hospitality for a small rural hospital system. He then took a position as the Director of Materiel Management for the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire. After a nine-year engagement, Larry moved to beautiful Colorado Springs for a great career opportunity.
 
“I love the systemness that Centura is cultivating – this is the right path for us to align ourselves for competition and lead in world-class healthcare. I enjoy helping people understand why we do what we do, from ordering, to receiving, to delivery, to end user,” said Larry. “I believe we have a Broadway opening everyday. Everyone has a specific part and is dependant upon the next person. When the curtain goes up – everything must work. We want our services to be seamless and effective.”

OK, enough about work, what about home? His family consists of his high school sweet-heart, Sue (they have been married for 29 years) and his three red-headed children: Martin (23) is a recent graduate of the University of New Hampshire with a degree in mechanical engineering , Mackenzie (20) is a junior at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston studying electro-mechanical engineering and Kelsey (18) is a freshman at Metro State in Denver studying business. After spending 20 years at sporting and school events, both Sue and Larry are looking forward to having time to explore Colorado.
 
“This is the way it should be – the lifestyle and weather. I don’t miss sweating, swatting mosquitoes or shoveling snow every day,” said Larry. He enjoys golf in the summer and skiing in the winter; camping and bowling fill in between. Although he is a die hard Orioles and Ravens enthusiast, he has become an avid Rockies and Broncos fan.

Sometimes he feels that his title really should be the Director of Supply Change Management; but he wouldn’t have it any other way. His favorite saying is “why not?”

A Helping Hand!

About 25 people – physicians, nurses, therapists – all crowded into a small room on the 8th floor last week to hear about Kathy Bellandi’s week-long trip to the to the Caribbean.
Kathy is an occupational therapist and her summer vacation wasn’t what you would expect. She spent a week in Haiti as part of a “Healing Hands for Haiti” rehabilitation team.

She arrived on the island five months after the earthquake and the photos she shared really bring to life the damage and the conditions that the Haitians are experiencing. Kathy spent a week working in an outpatient rehab clinic. The clinic took the out in outpatient literally because the clinic was outside with only a tarp over their heads for shade. Temperatures remained in the mid to high 90’s the entire time she was there.

Don’t picture an American clinic. In Haiti, people just show up and wait to be seen. Kathy’s team treated many types of injuries including crush injuries, scar issues, new amputees and other issues not related to the earthquake such as malnutrition and dehydration. The team also provided a lot of education to each patient because, for many of them, this would be their one and only contact with a therapist.

I know Kathy is just one of many people from our community who reach out to help those less fortunate than us, both here at home and in other countries. Our thanks go out to all of you who offer your expertise, and your hearts, to those in need.

The Cancer Center Corner

Last week, Penrose Cancer Center Radiation department welcomed 10 children from a Colorado Springs' First LEGO League (FLL) on a tour and demonstration of the CyberKnife. FLL is a robotics program designed to get children excited about science and technology through a yearly challenge in which the kids create their own Lego robot. The kids are encouraged to learn about robotics within their own community in order to better understand their role in the everyday world.

Associate Picnic Photos

Seems like it was only a month ago that we were out at Wonderland Ranch for our 2010 Associate Picnic. The professional photos from the event finally arrived so we wanted to share a few of them with you. You will also see some of the photos at the Town Hall meetings this week.

We also want to pass along a big thank you to our friends who worked so hard to make this year's event a success.

They are the Activities Committee, co-chaired by Sharon Jacob and Kristi Hunter.

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.

Last Thursday was National Dog Day so I thought we would celebrate with a few dog jokes.  

The World's Smartest Dog?
As a butcher is shooing a dog from his shop, he sees $10 and a note in his mouth, reading: "10 lamb chops, please."

Amazed, he takes the money, puts a bag of chops in the dog's mouth, and quickly closes the shop. He follows the dog and watches him wait for a green light, look both ways, and trot across the road to a bus stop. The dog checks the timetable and sits on the bench. When a bus arrives, he walks around to the front and looks at the number, then boards the bus. The butcher follows, dumbstruck.

As the bus travels out into the suburbs, the dog takes in the scenery. After awhile he stands on his back paws to push the "stop" button, then the butcher follows him off.

The dog runs up to a house and drops his bag on the stoop. He goes back down the path, takes a big run, and throws himself -Whap!- against the door. He does this again and again. No answer. So he jumps on a wall, walks around the garden, beats his head against a window, jumps off, and waits at the front door. A big guy opens it and yells at the the dog.

The butcher runs up screams at the guy: "What in the world are you doing? This dog's a genius!" The owner responds, "Genius? I don't think so. It's the second time this week he's forgotten his key!"

Talking Dog for Sale
This guy sees a sign in front of a house "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the back yard. The guy goes into the back yard and sees a mutt sitting there.

"You talk?" he asks.

"Yep," the mutt replies.

"So, what's your story?"

The mutt looks up and says, "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me
jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, cause no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running.

"The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. The owner says "Ten dollars."

The guy says he'll buy him, but asks the owner, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him for $10?"

The owner replies, "He's such a liar."

SFMC Two-Year Anniversary

August 2010 marks the two-year anniversary of SFMC.

Everyone knows that you should give silver to someone on their 25th anniversary and gold on their 50th anniversary. Most people even know that you give paper on the first anniversary. But what do you give someone on their second anniversary?
Cotton or straw.
Straw? Like a thatch cottage or a straw doll?

Well, the associates at SFMC didn’t get cotton or straw as they celebrated the two-year anniversary of SFMC. Despite the cool, rainy morning last week, Nate Olson and Mark Hartman, along with the SFMC Nutrition Services team, braved the weather to serve breakfast to all SFMC associates.

Happy Anniversary SFMC!

(FYI - 3rd Anniversaries are traditionally celebrated with leather.)

Calcium - What you neeed to know

By Amanda Crow, dietetic intern

Calcium is found in our blood stream, teeth, and bones.  The body likes to have a certain level of calcium in the blood at all times.  When there is not enough calcium in the blood, then the body will either absorb a higher percentage of the calcium that is eaten or it will break down some of the calcium that is in the bones.  The body uses calcium for spreading messages throughout the nervous system, controlling the amount of some hormones that are released in the body, maintaining bone structure, and muscle contractions. 

An adequate intake of calcium for men and women between the ages of 19 and 50 is 1000mg per day.  Vitamin D can increase the amount of calcium that the body is able to absorb.  Calcium can be found in dairy products, calcium fortified foods, or vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, kale or Chinese cabbage.  Calcium can also be taken as a supplement in the form of chewable tablets or in the form of a pill.  Building strong bones when an individual is young is important because as the individual ages their bones begin to break down faster then they are rebuilt.  If the bones break down faster then they are rebuilt then the individual can end up with osteopenia or osteoporosis.       

The body is not able to absorb all of the calcium that is eaten.  The body can only consume about 500mg of calcium every four hours.  It is important to break up doses of calcium through out the day when taking more than 500mg.  Calcium binds to iron, so it is important to take iron supplements or multivitamins containing iron at separate times from the calcium.  Calcium citrate can be taken with or without a meal because it does not require acid from the stomach to be dissolved.  Calcium carbonate should be taken with meals because it requires acid produced in the stomach to be dissolved.  

Research is being done looking into how excessive intakes of calcium and vitamin D can lead to an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases.  It has not been established yet what an excessive intake of calcium is.  The excessive intake of calcium only becomes a risk factor in older individuals because children, teenagers, and young adults are still developing their bones.  Adding exercise into an individual’s routine can decrease the amount of calcium that can build up in the heart.
