achievements.<br />

To begin, our l<strong>on</strong>g-term care nursing facility has achieved <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> federal Centers<br />

and proves <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> staff’s commitment to providing excepti<strong>on</strong>al quality care.<br />

The Primary Stroke Center has received <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Joint Commissi<strong>on</strong>’s Gold Seal<br />

of Approval. This is <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> culminati<strong>on</strong> of two years of intensive planning,<br />

Proof That Our Staff Has<br />

Patient Care As Its Highest Priority<br />

Over <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> years, The <strong>Hugh</strong> <strong>Chatham</strong> L<strong>on</strong>g-Term Care Nursing Center has<br />

earned a reputati<strong>on</strong> for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> warmth of its staff, and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> quality of care <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y<br />

provide for residents.<br />

The staff’s hard work and dedicati<strong>on</strong> has not g<strong>on</strong>e unnoticed as <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Nursing<br />

Center recently achieved <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid<br />

Services 5-Star Rating.<br />

180 regulatory standards designed to protect nursing home residents. These<br />

standards cover a wide range of topics, from proper management<br />

of medicati<strong>on</strong>s, resident care and security, to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

safe storage and preparati<strong>on</strong> of food.<br />

What this means to folks in our regi<strong>on</strong><br />

is that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y need to look no fur<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r than<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir own backyards to receive excepti<strong>on</strong>al<br />

quality care for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>mselves, or loved <strong>on</strong>es.<br />

Rec<strong>on</strong>structing Lives<br />

Through Plastic Surgery<br />

When most people think of plastic surgery, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y often think of cosmetic<br />

procedures. However, rec<strong>on</strong>structive surgery is a critical comp<strong>on</strong>ent of Plastic<br />

Surgery practices, such as Dr. Gils<strong>on</strong> Kingman’s, located at 150 <strong>Chatham</strong> Medical<br />

Park in Elkin.<br />

“I am most gratified when my team and I are able to restore a patient’s body<br />

image, especially if she has breast cancer,” says Dr. Kingman.<br />

Dr. Rob Peters<strong>on</strong>, General Surge<strong>on</strong>, located at 680 Parkwood Medical Park,<br />

performs mastectomies for women stricken with breast cancer. Dr. Peters<strong>on</strong> has<br />

partnered with Dr. Kingman to provide state-of-<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>-art expander/implant breast<br />

rec<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> at <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> time of a mastectomy. Both physicians believe this is a great<br />

service to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir patients.<br />

The procedure is effective for single and double mastectomy patients, and every<br />

precauti<strong>on</strong> is taken to create a natural, comfortable end result. Plus, most<br />

insurance plans cover <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> variety of procedures that need to occur. And through<br />

advances in technology and practices,<br />

“expander/implant rec<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong>”<br />

offers a short hospital stay and<br />

minimal downtime.<br />

Fall and Winter<br />

Champi<strong>on</strong>s Named<br />

Mike Parlier<br />

Plant Operati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

Mike has been employed by<br />

HCMH for 18 years. During this<br />

time, he has made many friends<br />

both inside and outside of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

organizati<strong>on</strong>. Mike is always<br />

very pleasant to be around and<br />

his commitment to his job and<br />

this organizati<strong>on</strong> is evident from<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> moment you meet him.<br />

Every year, Mike works <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> hospital golf tournament. Going<br />

above and bey<strong>on</strong>d, his attenti<strong>on</strong> to detail and willingness to<br />

do whatever is necessary is <strong>on</strong>e of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> things that makes it a<br />

success. Am<strong>on</strong>g his resp<strong>on</strong>sibilities, Mike works <strong>on</strong> signage<br />

for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> tournament.<br />

Mike was instrumental in making <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>Hugh</strong> <strong>Chatham</strong> Idol/<br />

Variety show happen. He not <strong>on</strong>ly secured <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> venue, but<br />

was resp<strong>on</strong>sible for lights, sound, and advertising as well as<br />

working <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> day of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> show. The event raised $1,500 to be<br />

used for nursing scholarships.<br />

Mike c<strong>on</strong>siders his customer’s time as valuable. Mike was<br />

asked about changing <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> table in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> medical staff lounge<br />

because of years of wear and appearance, which was a<br />

routine request. Mike treated <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> request with a sense of<br />

urgency to get <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> job d<strong>on</strong>e. Within a week, a new top was<br />

placed <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> table matching <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> room décor with an easily<br />

cleanable surface that looks great.<br />

Mike’s acti<strong>on</strong>s have recently impacted a patient’s care directly.<br />

A currier was delivering special instrumentati<strong>on</strong> to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

operating room for an orthopedic case and had a flat tire<br />

leaving him stranded. Mike stopped what he was doing when<br />

he learned of this to go help <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> currier. After he changed <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

tire, he drove back to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> hospital and assisted staff by carrying<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> instruments to sterile supply to be processed. Without his<br />

acti<strong>on</strong>, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> patient’s surgery could have been delayed.<br />

Besides working at HCMH, Mike is <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> city council in<br />

Sparta, NC. He also served as a volunteer fire fighter for<br />

many years until he retired from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Dept. Mike has two<br />

s<strong>on</strong>s and three grand kids that also keep him busy at home.<br />

It is employees like Mike that makes HCMH so successful<br />

in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> health care field.<br />

Mike, you are a Champi<strong>on</strong>!<br />

Josh Stanley<br />

Respiratory Tech<br />

Josh Stanley has been a<br />

Respiratory Tech at <strong>Hugh</strong><br />

<strong>Chatham</strong> for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> past year. In<br />

this short period, he has<br />

dem<strong>on</strong>strated an extremely high<br />

work ethic, dedicati<strong>on</strong> to his<br />

patients, and is a role model for<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> standards of performance.<br />

Josh’s manager and co-workers<br />

agree he delivers excepti<strong>on</strong>al quality care to every patient. He<br />

is described as a pers<strong>on</strong> who never complains and is always<br />

willing to roll up his sleeves to get <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> job d<strong>on</strong>e. If Josh<br />

discovers <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> next shift is shorthanded, he has been known to<br />

complete <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> rounds for that shift so <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y d<strong>on</strong>’t start <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> day<br />

behind schedule.<br />

Many nurses have expressed <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir appreciati<strong>on</strong> for Josh. On<br />

<strong>on</strong>e occasi<strong>on</strong>, a patient pulled out <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir IV and without<br />

asking, he was <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>re to help clean up. The nursing staff also<br />

expressed <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir gratitude for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> way Josh explains treatments<br />

and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>rapy to patients. His positive attitude and willingness<br />

to educate properly reduces anxiety and improves clinical<br />

outcomes in our patients.<br />

Josh is attentive to his patient’s needs. He is quick to resp<strong>on</strong>d<br />

to emergent situati<strong>on</strong>s. In <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> ICU, an adult patient’s<br />

c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> was rapidly deteriorating. Josh’s ability to quickly<br />

intubate <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> patient not <strong>on</strong>ly impressed <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> physician, but<br />

also left a lifel<strong>on</strong>g impressi<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> patient’s wife.<br />

Recently, Josh was described as being “amazing” during <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

hospital fire. Josh, al<strong>on</strong>g with his co-worker carried 4-5<br />

oxygen tanks up 3 flights of stairs to get oxygen to all <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

patients. Without acti<strong>on</strong>, some patients would have been<br />

delayed in receiving care or could have suffered respiratory<br />

distress. He fur<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r helped with o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r hospital staff to<br />

evacuate patients to a safe place in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> hospital.<br />

Josh not <strong>on</strong>ly displays a compassi<strong>on</strong>ate, caring, pers<strong>on</strong>ality at<br />

work, but also in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> community. Josh is a skilled plumber<br />

and carpenter, and dedicates his time renovating and<br />

repairing his church. He also extends his skills to family and<br />

friends. Josh is married to Julie, who shares his caring attitude.<br />

They are foster parents and have adopted a s<strong>on</strong> named Paul.<br />

Josh, you are a <strong>Hugh</strong> <strong>Chatham</strong> Champi<strong>on</strong>!<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> pURSUIT of exCELLENCE<br />

Going Green.<br />

Saving Green.<br />

At <strong>Hugh</strong> <strong>Chatham</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>, we take being good stewards of our physical<br />

envir<strong>on</strong>ment very seriously. Helping protect our envir<strong>on</strong>ment is not <strong>on</strong>ly <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> right<br />

thing to do, it will also help us save tens of thousands of dollars that literally would<br />

have g<strong>on</strong>e up in smoke, or thrown away.<br />

One example is that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> hospital recently replaced three original boilers used for<br />

heating <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> facility that were installed in 1972. The new boilers, which run <strong>on</strong><br />

clean-burning propane and natural gas, will save <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> hospital $50,000 to $95,000<br />

annually in electricity, water and fuel costs. And with <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir increased efficiency,<br />

far less greenhouse gases will be expelled into <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> atmosphere.<br />

Ano<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r example is <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> additi<strong>on</strong> of a new centralized printer, copier,<br />

scanner and fax server from Ricoh. At its full implementati<strong>on</strong>, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

hospital will eliminate <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> use of over 200 LaserJet and inkjet printers,<br />

thus saving electricity, ink and t<strong>on</strong>er, and paper costs. The dedicated<br />

fax server will enable faxes to come in and be sent out <strong>on</strong> network lines<br />

vs. analog ph<strong>on</strong>e lines, which will increase speed and reduce costs of<br />

maintaining dedicated ph<strong>on</strong>e lines. Once fully implemented, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> hospital<br />

will use significantly less paper, printer related items, and electricity, and<br />

will save approximately $50,000 to $100,000 per year.<br />

her internship.<br />

Through Duke University’s Nicholas School of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Envir<strong>on</strong>ment, <strong>Hugh</strong> <strong>Chatham</strong><br />

sought an energy audit in 2011. Duke Intern Erin Shown, MEM/EE spent last<br />

summer <strong>on</strong> site to evaluate <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>Hospital</strong>’s energy management as related to energy<br />

efficiency, reducti<strong>on</strong>, and cost savings. The result—new boilers. The <strong>Hospital</strong><br />

Foundati<strong>on</strong> was granted this internship by applicati<strong>on</strong> in early 2011. Erin Shown<br />

holds a Master’s of Envir<strong>on</strong>mental Management from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Duke Nicholas School.<br />

She is a Certified Leed Green Associate. Serving <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Peace Corps as Envir<strong>on</strong>mental<br />

Coordinator in Bolivia, Charagua, and Santa Cruz, Erin has seen and studied all<br />

levels of energy use. Her specializati<strong>on</strong>s are in sustainable systems, climate change,<br />

energy efficiency and renewable energy. <strong>Hugh</strong> <strong>Chatham</strong> thanks Duke University for<br />

its assistance to organizati<strong>on</strong>s throughout North Carolina.<br />

Celebrating 20 Years!<br />

20th Annual <strong>Hugh</strong><br />

<strong>Chatham</strong> Golf Classic<br />

The 20th annual <strong>Hugh</strong> <strong>Chatham</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> Foundati<strong>on</strong> Golf<br />

Classic was held August 18th at Cedarbrook Country Club in Elkin.<br />

Benefiting <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Foundati<strong>on</strong>’s Sharing <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Visi<strong>on</strong> campaign for a new and<br />

expanded hospital, this year’s event raised more than $45,000.<br />

The golf committee h<strong>on</strong>ored Jeff Seaford for starting <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> tournament twenty<br />

years ago and for growing it into a regi<strong>on</strong>ally recognized and highly sought<br />

golf classic. Local artist William Sanders was commissi<strong>on</strong>ed by <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> group to<br />

paint a portrait of Seaford in his “classic” golf attire. The portrait now<br />

adorns <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> wall in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Seaford home.<br />

Foundati<strong>on</strong> Vice Chairman Elizabeth Callaway spoke at <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> awards<br />

dinner saying, “our golf classic is so vital to our fundraising campaign. The<br />

tournament not <strong>on</strong>ly provides needed financial support for our campaign<br />

but also brings many visitors here from outside our community. It is a<br />

chance to introduce our guests to our great <strong>Hospital</strong> and community.”<br />

Tournament Chairman Jeff Seaford added, “we truly appreciate <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> many<br />

volunteers who make this tournament <strong>on</strong>e of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> most successful in our<br />

regi<strong>on</strong>. Special thanks goes to Cedarbrook Country Club’s excellent staff<br />

for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir work in ensuring an exquisite groomed golf course and<br />

accommodating club house.<br />

The missi<strong>on</strong> of our Cardiopulm<strong>on</strong>ary Rehabilitati<strong>on</strong> Department is to celebrate <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> lives<br />

of those challenged by heart and lung disease, and to help <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>m manage <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir diseases<br />

through such things as exercise training, lifestyle modificati<strong>on</strong>, proper nutriti<strong>on</strong> and<br />

stress reducti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Through <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>Hugh</strong> <strong>Chatham</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> Foundati<strong>on</strong>’s Step-by-Step Program,<br />

you have <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> ability to h<strong>on</strong>or a friend or family member through your d<strong>on</strong>ati<strong>on</strong>s, as<br />

well as to help patients who lack <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> financial means to participate in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se potentially<br />

life-saving services.<br />

Your d<strong>on</strong>ati<strong>on</strong> to Step-by-Step is a gift of hope to those fighting heart and lung disease<br />

to live l<strong>on</strong>ger, healthier, enjoyable lives, and any amount of support you can offer will be<br />

truly appreciated.<br />

compelled to share her hand working and seamstress talents<br />

for bereavement and low birth weight babies born at <strong>Hugh</strong><br />

<strong>Chatham</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>. C<strong>on</strong>nie stated that being able to<br />

craft this clothing is <strong>on</strong>e of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> greatest joys in her life. Tammie<br />

“It is difficult to find clo<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>s for babies born under <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se<br />

circumstances. We are so very appreciative for Ms. Mastin’s<br />

heartfelt generosity.” Pictured are obstetrics nursing staff from<br />
