“Many of our physicians are ‘dog’ people as<br />
well as ‘people’ people. Here is a glimpse<br />
into some of our physicians as they interact<br />
with their canine companions.”<br />
Edward Moore, President and CEO
Welcome<br />
to our <strong>Harrington</strong> HealthCare System 2011 Community Calendar!<br />
At <strong>Harrington</strong>, we believe in providing TLC – Total Local Care. We do that in<br />
many ways: through the medical services we provide at <strong>Harrington</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong><br />
in Southbridge, at our comprehensive outpatient facility in Webster, called<br />
<strong>Harrington</strong> HealthCare at Hubbard, and at our newest large medical facility,<br />
<strong>Harrington</strong> HealthCare at Charlton.<br />
Ronald P. Carlson<br />
Edward H. Moore<br />
We also provide Total Local Care through our network of physicians<br />
throughout the region. <strong>Harrington</strong> has worked hard in recent years to meet<br />
the needs of the communities we serve by hiring the best physicians and<br />
locating them not only on the hospital campus in Southbridge and our two<br />
large medical facilities in Webster and Charlton, but also in the communities<br />
we serve. To <strong>Harrington</strong> HealthCare, it is very important to meet your medical<br />
needs by locating top-quality physicians in neighborhood office buildings<br />
close to you.<br />
In order to underscore that point, we have decided to highlight, in our 2011<br />
Community Calendar, just a few of the many doctors throughout the region<br />
who are a part of the <strong>Harrington</strong> family of physicians. And we decided to<br />
highlight these physicians in what we hope is a memorable and touching way—<br />
by showing them with their dogs. We thought that photographing some of our<br />
docs with their dogs would show you that, when these fine physicians aren’t<br />
caring for patients, they’re caring for Man’s Best Friend.<br />
Of course, there’s more to Total Local Care at <strong>Harrington</strong> than just our family<br />
of physicians and our large medical facilities. TLC to us also means using the<br />
most advanced medical equipment available and providing a comprehensive<br />
array of medical services. It also means paying attention to quality and patient<br />
safety. Our entire staff carries out our mission of Total Local Care by putting<br />
the patient and his or her safety first and foremost. That means that, despite<br />
our growth, we still embody the best a community hospital has to offer in<br />
terms of individualized attention. We hope, through the pictures and words<br />
in this calendar, to show you that side of <strong>Harrington</strong> as well.<br />
As always, we offer this calendar to community members free of charge, as<br />
a token of our appreciation that you have chosen <strong>Harrington</strong> HealthCare for<br />
your medical needs. It is another example of our commitment to TLC—Total<br />
Local Care.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Ronald P. Carlson, Chairman of the Board 2011<br />
Edward H. Moore, President and Chief Executive Officer
We are more than a hospital<br />
There is much that I can say about <strong>Harrington</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> and as out-going<br />
President of the Medical Staff for the past six years, from October of 2004<br />
through October of 2010, I have been closely involved with many of the<br />
changes, plans and developments of this once-small community hospital.<br />
<strong>Harrington</strong> has grown from the small local hospital it had been for many years<br />
to a modernized medical center with the recently opened Cancer Center at<br />
<strong>Harrington</strong>; <strong>Harrington</strong> HealthCare at Charlton, including Wound Care with<br />
Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers; and the expansion to Webster with <strong>Harrington</strong><br />
HealthCare at Hubbard.<br />
Vladas Litani, M.D., F.C.C.P.<br />
However, as important as this expansion is, what I really want to tell you about<br />
is what it means to be a member of the <strong>Harrington</strong> family. When my daughter<br />
became ill, she was hospitalized in the <strong>Harrington</strong> Pediatric Department and<br />
received treatment by excellent, knowledgeable pediatricians. When my<br />
father-in-law became seriously ill while living in New York City, he demanded<br />
to be transferred to <strong>Harrington</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>, because for him it was home away<br />
from home.<br />
This is why <strong>Harrington</strong> is not just TLC—Total Local Care—for me... it’s home.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Vladas Litani, M.D., F.C.C.P.<br />
President of the Medical Staff<br />

Patient Safety Awareness Week: March 6 –12<br />
Renovated Rooms/Patient Safety<br />
Our renovated patient rooms are modern, comfortable, and designed with the patient’s safety<br />
in mind. Each renovated room has non-invasive electronic monitoring devices for taking vital<br />
signs, a computer so that medical personnel can access a patient’s records while in the room,<br />
and an Overbed Lift system that allows staff to use an electronic device to safely lift patients.<br />
Shown, at left, State Senator Richard Moore toured the hospital during Patient Safety Week<br />
in March 2010, and got a demonstration of the Overbed Lift, which was demonstrated on his<br />
aide, Timothy Greene. Assisting, at far left, was Craig Langevin, Patient Care Assistant and, at<br />
far right, was Kathy Chahanovich, Nurse Manager of the Medical Surgical units.

Wound Care with Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers<br />
The Wound Care Center at <strong>Harrington</strong>, in our new <strong>Harrington</strong> HealthCare at Charlton, is the<br />
only wound treatment center in the region with hyperbaric oxygen chambers, which can help<br />
speed the healing process. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a simple but effective treatment in<br />
which one breathes pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The therapy quickly delivers<br />
a high concentration of oxygen to the bloodstream, which helps increase the body’s own<br />
natural wound-healing abilities. For more information or to schedule an appointment,<br />
call 508-248-6780.

From the Auxiliary<br />
Dear Members of the <strong>Harrington</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> Community,<br />
Our motto is “Neighbors Helping Neighbors since 1932”.<br />
The <strong>Harrington</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> Auxiliary is an organization whose members volunteer their<br />
time and talents to support and enhance the services of our community hospital. Our<br />
many fund raisers and volunteer hours provide <strong>Harrington</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> with monies for<br />
projects and patient comfort and care. Our continued interaction with the community<br />
provides a vital link between the hospital and surrounding communities.<br />
Watch for upcoming Health Fairs in the communities our hospital services.<br />
Helen Santilli & Lily, a Morkie<br />
Please visit our table to become acquainted with the handmade items our sewers,<br />
knitters and crafters make for the comfort of our patients and as a token of hospitality.<br />
They make hats, prayer shawls, lap blankets and heart pillows for our cancer patients.<br />
Children in the emergency room and pediatrics receive their handmade stuffed animals,<br />
puppets and teaching dolls. New babies on discharge are given a beautiful knitted<br />
receiving blanket and bonnet. If you leave with a walker after knee or hip surgery you<br />
receive a walker bag to attach for your personal items.<br />
Our newly renovated Gift Shop is larger, brighter and has many wonderful gift items<br />
for your shopping pleasure, including a great selection of cards, baby items, jewelry,<br />
balloons and much more. Our floral displays are beautiful and very reasonable. If you<br />
have a sudden need for flowers think of stopping in at the Gift Shop to pick up an<br />
arrangement. The profits from the Gift Shop are used for our Appropriations Grant<br />
Program. Approximately $30,000 is appropriated annually to hospital departments<br />
requesting equipment and programs not provided in their budget.<br />
Annually we award scholarships to area students embarking on careers in healthcare.<br />
Again last year we were able to give a total of $16,000 in scholarships due to the<br />
success of our annual “Lucky Duck Day”.<br />
We cordially invite you to join our organization. It is a wonderful opportunity to give<br />
back to your hospital and your community by applying your interest, talents and<br />
expertise to the varied needs of our hospital. You can provide the most precious of<br />
all gifts, your time. Your time helps our patients to become more comfortable during<br />
a stressful time of need.<br />
