Commitment to the Community<br />
Welcome to our 2010 H<strong>arrington</strong> H<strong>ospital</strong> Community Calendar!<br />
Ronald P. Carlson<br />
Alan S. Peppel<br />
Edward H. Moore<br />
At H<strong>arrington</strong> H<strong>ospital</strong>, we are always focused on providing TLC – Total Local<br />
Care. In order to bring you quality healthcare closer to home, we have opened<br />
satellite physician offices and medical office buildings in the communities we serve,<br />
added more physicians, and upgraded our two main healthcare facilities.<br />
At our larger facility, H<strong>arrington</strong> H<strong>ospital</strong> in Southbridge, we opened a cancer<br />
treatment center, a women’s health center, and upgraded our rooms and common<br />
areas, such as the lobby. At H<strong>arrington</strong> HealthCare at Hubbard in Webster, our new<br />
comprehensive outpatient care center on the site of the former Hubbard H<strong>ospital</strong>,<br />
we brought digital mammography, the gold standard in mammography, as well as<br />
other upgrades to serve our patients better.<br />
As we are enhancing our nearby healthcare services, we are inviting the<br />
community into H<strong>arrington</strong> H<strong>ospital</strong> to visit our quarterly art exhibits featuring<br />
the work of the superb artists who live in our community. Beautiful, highly<br />
accomplished works of art have graced the halls of our h<strong>ospital</strong> since the spring<br />
of 2009. Every three months, a new exhibit is featured on the walls of the h<strong>ospital</strong><br />
in our mezzanine area. The public has an open invitation to view these works of<br />
art during visiting hours, seven days a week.<br />
We thought the best way to showcase the wonderful art that is featured on<br />
our walls and the ways we are expanding medical care for the community was to<br />
publish our fiscal 2009 Community Report in the form of a community calendar<br />
you can keep in your office or home. That way, as you turn the pages of this calendar<br />
with each passing month, you will see both the new projects H<strong>arrington</strong> is building<br />
in your community and beautiful works of art produced by talented members of<br />
our community.<br />
This calendar is offered to our community free of charge, as a token of our<br />
appreciation that you have chosen H<strong>arrington</strong> for your healthcare needs. It’s another<br />
example of our commitment to Total Local Care.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Ronald P. Carlson, Chairman of the Board 2010<br />
Alan S. Peppel, Chairman of the Board 2009<br />

Outpatient Laboratory<br />
The Outpatient Laboratory at H<strong>arrington</strong> H<strong>ospital</strong> moved to a new, convenient location in<br />
February 2009 as part of our ground floor renovation project. It is now right behind Central<br />
Registration when you walk in our main entrance. The area offers patients brand new,<br />
comfortable furniture, enhanced privacy and large windows. The staff distributes breakfast bags<br />
for patients who are fasting or on their way to work. Patients are also given Commitment Cards<br />
that express our commitment to quality and personal attention. It’s a reminder of how much we<br />
appreciate our patients choosing H<strong>arrington</strong> H<strong>ospital</strong> for their Total Local Care.<br />

Webster Campus X-Ray Room<br />
Since becoming a part of the H<strong>arrington</strong> HealthCare<br />
System, the Webster campus has been able to upgrade<br />
several departments. H<strong>arrington</strong> HealthCare at Hubbard’s<br />
Diagnostic Imaging is one location that has received a<br />
number of updates since the Webster campus became part<br />
of H<strong>arrington</strong> in May 2009. One update is a brand new<br />
X-Ray room. The room, completed in August 2009,<br />
features the state-of-the-art Shimadzu RADspeed<br />
Radiologic System. The RADspeed is a totally integrated<br />
X-Ray system, designed to perform to the highest standards<br />
of testing. The RADspeed has several impressive design<br />
features, including an impact-resistant table and a rapid<br />
communications system. The unit is designed to be smooth,<br />
quiet and precise. The RADspeed gives the Hubbard<br />
campus two fully functioning X-Ray rooms, making patient<br />
turnover faster and wait times shorter.<br />

Charlton MRI<br />
The first piece of the future H<strong>arrington</strong> HealthCare at Charlton to come on line was<br />
the Siemens Avanto MRI unit, installed in early 2009. The office began seeing patients<br />
in June of the same year. Offering advanced imaging, shorter exam times, and a quieter,<br />
more comfortable atmosphere, the Siemens Avanto is another wonderful resource for the<br />
local community. The MRI operation is a joint venture with Harvard Medical Faculty<br />
Physicians (HMFP) Radiology and the exams are interpreted by the HMFP radiologists<br />
from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. For more information<br />
on the Charlton MRI please call 508-248-4446.<br />

H<strong>arrington</strong> HealthCare at Charlton<br />
One of H<strong>arrington</strong>’s most exciting adventures in 2009 was breaking ground on a nearly 22,000-squarefoot<br />
Medical Office Building, including a magnetic resonance imaging facility, located at the junction<br />
of North Main Street and Route 20 in Charlton. The site opened an MRI center in June 2009, giving<br />
patients local access to one of the most advanced imaging machines in the region. When the entire<br />
facility is complete in early 2010, the medical center will become H<strong>arrington</strong> HealthCare at Charlton,<br />
offering Primary-Care and Specialty-Care Physicians, Bone Densitometry, Laboratory, additional<br />
imaging services, physical therapy, and Wound Care with Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers.<br />

The Cancer Center at H<strong>arrington</strong><br />
We are now proud to be able to offer our patients cancer care right in our community. Our Cancer Center<br />

Cancer Center on the H<strong>arrington</strong> H<strong>ospital</strong> campus. We offer infusion/chemotherapy services, a resource room,<br />
community education for cancer prevention and detection, pain management care and other outreach services.<br />
Because we are patient focused, we also offer a dedicated social worker who counsels patients and their families<br />
with psycho-social issues related to cancer. That’s because at The Cancer Center at H<strong>arrington</strong>, we believe in<br />
treating cancer and repairing hope. For more information or to schedule an appointment call 508-764-2400.<br />

Webster ER<br />
The H<strong>arrington</strong> HealthCare at Hubbard campus is<br />
anchored by an Emergency Room that provides critical care<br />
to our community. Staffed by professional physicians, nurses<br />
and staff, we offer emergency care services 24 hours a day,<br />
seven days a week. We want our patients to feel comfortable<br />
knowing that if they need immediate medical attention,<br />
help is only minutes away. The Webster Emergency Room<br />
handles approximately 12,000 visits each year, and our<br />
numbers have been on the rise in recent months. We<br />
are constantly exploring ways to make our facility better.<br />
A multiple-phase construction plan is in the works for a<br />
renovation of the space to heighten patient security, provide<br />
more square footage per room and increase overall efficiency.<br />

New Patient Rooms<br />
Our new patient rooms offer the latest in technology,<br />
comfort and safety for our patients. They were designed<br />
with input from patients and from our nursing staff. Each<br />
renovated room has a computer for a nurse to easily call<br />
up the patient’s records, a Spot Vital Signs machine,<br />
which is an electronic device that monitors blood pressure,<br />
temperature and pulse oximetry (oxygen level). In addition,<br />
over each bed is an electronic overbed lift which allows the<br />
patient to be easily lifted. The beds are so-called “smart<br />
beds” that mold to fit the patient’s body, and each one has<br />
a built-in scale to weigh the patient. For patient comfort,<br />
each room comes with a modern bathroom that is handicap<br />
accessible and includes a pull-down seat in the shower. Our<br />
renovated rooms are part of a $12.5 million renovation of<br />
the h<strong>ospital</strong> main building that is designed to bring state-ofthe-art<br />
technology and safety to our patients.<br />

Charlton H<strong>arrington</strong> Physician Services<br />
H<strong>arrington</strong> works tirelessly every day to fulfill its goal to provide advanced, local medical care<br />
to all of Southern Worcester County. H<strong>arrington</strong> Physician Services (HPS) recently renovated<br />
a medical office building at 61 North Main Street in Charlton. Junjie Fang, M.D., and Asma<br />
Islam, M.D., both specializing in Family Practice, began seeing patients at this site in 2009.<br />
For an appointment, please call 508-248-6872. The medical office building is just blocks from<br />
the site of the new Charlton MRI and future medical office building, easily allowing patients<br />
to utilize both sites for medical testing and care.<br />

From the Auxiliary<br />
Financials<br />
Dear Members of the H<strong>arrington</strong> H<strong>ospital</strong> Community,<br />
We hope you are enjoying the artwork in the pages of the 2010 H<strong>arrington</strong> H<strong>ospital</strong><br />
Community Calendar. This is just a small sample of the wonderful work that is produced<br />
by the artists in our community.<br />
The 12 pieces featured here were created by artists chosen to participate in “The Art Exhibit<br />
at H<strong>arrington</strong>,” a joint effort between the Auxiliary and the h<strong>ospital</strong> staff. We solicited entries<br />
from artists who live or work in the H<strong>arrington</strong> H<strong>ospital</strong> community. The opening of the first in a<br />
series of three-month exhibits was on April 1, 2009. The artwork is on display on our Mezzanine<br />
level and it is also for sale by each individual artist. Contact information is available at the exhibit<br />
or through our Volunteer Services Office.<br />
The H<strong>arrington</strong> H<strong>ospital</strong> Auxiliary is an organization whose members volunteer their time<br />
and talents to support and enhance the services of our community h<strong>ospital</strong>. Our many fund<br />
raisers provide H<strong>arrington</strong> H<strong>ospital</strong> with monies for projects and patient comfort and care.<br />
Our continued interaction with the community provides a vital link between the h<strong>ospital</strong><br />
and surrounding communities.<br />
On June 20, 2009, we ended an eight-and-a-half month fundraising journey for the new<br />
Cancer Center at H<strong>arrington</strong> with a spectacular “Evening Under the Stars” that was attended<br />
by more than 500 people. This Auxiliary-run event was organized to recognize and celebrate<br />
not only The Cancer Center at H<strong>arrington</strong> but its many supporters. The evening’s high point<br />
was our presentation of a check for $150,000 to H<strong>arrington</strong> President and CEO Ed Moore.<br />
We continue to sell bricks for a Walkway of Hope leading up to The Cancer Center, which<br />
is on the main h<strong>ospital</strong> campus in Southbridge.<br />
Annually we give out scholarships to area students embarking on careers in healthcare.<br />
This past year we awarded four $4,000 scholarships. The money for these scholarships is raised<br />
from our Annual Lucky Duck Day in April. In addition, our Appropriations Grant Program last<br />
year contributed a total of $28,895 toward h<strong>ospital</strong> equipment and projects.<br />
To learn about upcoming Auxiliary events, please read your local newspaper and check our<br />
website, www.h<strong>arrington</strong>h<strong>ospital</strong>.org.<br />
One of our exciting events in 2010 will be the opening of our newly renovated, enlarged<br />
Gift Shop. Our creative and talented managers will have a display of beautiful gifts and<br />
floral arrangements for your shopping pleasure.<br />
We also welcome new members from all the communities that are a part of the H<strong>arrington</strong><br />
family. Men and women 18 years or older, please come and share your time and talents with<br />
us. For more information, please call Kelly at the Volunteer Services Office at 508-765-6472.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
