<strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong>’s Loving Legacy<br />
<strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong><br />
<strong>2008</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>
<strong>2008</strong><br />
1910<br />
During<br />
In 1910, Clark J. Lawrence generously offered $25,000 to the<br />
Malone Hospital Association on the condition that the<br />
organization name the community hospital in memory of his<br />
niece, <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong>. Since that time, nearly 100 years ago, the<br />
<strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> family has continued the loving<br />
legacy that began with naming the hospital for a woman who<br />
was dearly beloved and known for her selfless thoughts and<br />
actions, often performed anonymously.<br />
In correspondence from the time of <strong>Alice</strong>'s life, she was<br />
regarded as a woman of courage and determination who was<br />
“one of Malone's most capable and beloved young women.”<br />
Perhaps one of her defining attributes was that she was<br />
“gracious and cheerful in disposition, thinking little of self<br />
and much of the comfort and happiness of others.”<br />
<strong>2008</strong>, <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong><br />
Expanded dental services to meet burgeoning<br />
community needs<br />
Health experts have long known that good oral health is<br />
key to ensuring overall health and well-being in people of<br />
all ages. As part of our ongoing commitment to meeting<br />
community needs, the <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> recruited an<br />
additional dentist and expanded its hours of service.<br />
Acquired state-of-the-art EKG capabilities<br />
Keeping pace with ever-evolving technology is critical for<br />
ensuring correct diagnosis and treatment of cardiac<br />
conditions. The <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> is proud to offer our<br />
community the most state-of-the-art monitoring and<br />
assessment tools available today.<br />
Added new dialysis machines to accommodate more<br />
community members<br />
As caregivers, we are acutely aware of the importance of<br />
making treatment offerings as convenient as possible for<br />
patients. For this reason, the <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> has devoted<br />
resources to expanding our number of dialysis<br />
machines—not only enabling us to treat more patients, but<br />
provide a broader range of availability for all in need of<br />
these services.<br />
Today these values live on as <strong>Alice</strong>'s Loving Legacy and are<br />
demonstrated each and every day in the work that we do and<br />
the lives that we touch. This year's annual report is devoted<br />
to those who personally carry on this legacy by supporting<br />
the <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> – one of our most vital and<br />
cherished community assets. Whether a volunteer,<br />
employee, physician, patient, resident or family member,<br />
donor, or community member, we all share a part in<br />
preserving and strengthening <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong>'s enduring legacy of<br />
caring and serving.
We have a vacant chair that can never be filled, but the beautiful spirit to whom it belonged<br />
has left us a precious legacy—such a lesson of love, fortitude, and high courage of life so near<br />
perfect….The touch of her hand was a token of truest friendship, her presence a rare<br />
privilege—her memory will be with us always.<br />
John W. Johnson<br />
President/CEO<br />
Gerald Rufa<br />
Chair, Board of Directors<br />
These words were spoken by Mrs. Mary Putnam, of the Adirondack Chapter of the<br />
Daughters of the American Revolution, upon the death of <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong>. We are proud and<br />
honored to be part of the <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> that bears her name, and continues her loving<br />
legacy.<br />
We sometimes pause and wonder what the world must have been like a century ago when<br />
<strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> was an integral part of the Malone community. Times have certainly changed<br />
since 1910—life expectancy has risen dramatically, new drugs and ever-evolving<br />
technology have given us the ability to prolong and improve the quality of life, and we can<br />
now diagnose and treat diseases that were unheard of 100 years ago.<br />
During its history, the <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> has survived and thrived through periods of<br />
economic distress, as well as times of prosperity, and through it all, the <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong> family has remained stalwart in its dedication to carrying forth the selfless legacy of<br />
our namesake.<br />
Today's economic uncertainty has certainly challenged <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> and<br />
medical institutions around the country. It has shaken our fiscal foundation but has not<br />
dampened our steadfast resolve to continue caring for and serving Malone and the<br />
surrounding communities with the same compassion and dedication that community<br />
members have come to expect and trust.<br />
In many ways, our current challenges have provided an opportunity for us to pause, take<br />
notice, and remember what is important about our lives. We have been deeply moved by<br />
the support of all members of the <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> family who gave in some way<br />
during the past year—whether through contributions of time or money, by holding a hand,<br />
hosting a program, participating in a program, joining us for the health fair, volunteering,<br />
calling or visiting legislators, or dedicating their life’s work to our shared mission. The<br />
active and involved engagement of all—employees, physicians, Board of Directors,<br />
volunteers, patients and families, residents, and community members—have made a true<br />
and palpable difference in sustaining our community's precious healthcare resource.<br />
We take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to each and every person who<br />
has played a part in keeping <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong>'s loving legacy alive.<br />

E<br />
Each year, it is tradition that the <strong>Medical</strong> Staff President reflects on the previous year's<br />
achievements and shares the perspective of the physicians serving our community. Once<br />
again, we were privileged and honored to work with all members of the <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong><br />
<strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> family—from health professionals, to volunteers, the Board of Directors,<br />
and community members—as we work in partnership to enhance the care we provide to<br />
those who live in our communities. I extend my appreciation for the support,<br />
collaboration, and commitment to working together as we strive to meet our community's<br />
dynamic health care needs.<br />
We are all aware of the impact that the current economic tumult is having on <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong><br />
<strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> and institutions like ours across around the country. Yet, it has not<br />
impacted our commitment to advance medicine and technology. In fact, in <strong>2008</strong>, we made<br />
significant advances in the areas of urology and primary care and continue to bring cutting<br />
edge technology to our community. Our medical services also expanded with the addition<br />
of six new physicians who bring notable expertise to our team and enhance the medical<br />
diversity in our community.<br />
Rajiv Shah, MD<br />
<strong>Medical</strong> Staff President<br />
Turning to 2009, we are looking forward to building on our past successes and playing a<br />
partnership role in the continued growth and evolution of AHMC. Some of the initiatives<br />
on the drawing board are expanding primary care services with the addition of new<br />
physicians; bringing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in-house; considering engaging<br />
hospitalists to provide even more timely and consistent medical care to inpatients;<br />
broadening the array of services delivered locally; and, in partnership with Fletcher Allen<br />
Health Care, strengthening our cardiology and nephrology programs.<br />

MMany community members volunteer their time and talents to<br />
<strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong>—and each plays a valuable and<br />
unique role in meeting community needs.<br />
The AHMC Board of Directors is an exemplary group of<br />
community-minded individuals who generously give of their<br />
time throughout the year. They help guide the organization in<br />
meeting its mission, share their expertise in countless areas,<br />
such as finance and strategic planning, and help to ensure the<br />
continued viability and vibrancy of <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong>.<br />

There is not enough that can be said for the extra benefit<br />
patients and families derive from the comforting presence of<br />
our volunteers. Hospital volunteers are an integral part of the<br />
AHMC family and our approach to care—in <strong>2008</strong>, our<br />
dedicated core of volunteers gave more than 17,406 hours in<br />
service to <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong>. Our volunteers provide a range of<br />
services for our patients, residents, and their families to further<br />
AHMC’s broader mission, and they offer social support<br />
companionship, and respite time for caregivers and family<br />
members.<br />
The AHMC Auxiliary members are part of our volunteer corps<br />
and they also conducted many fundraising programs to help<br />
support the purchase of new equipment, enable updating of key<br />
areas of the <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, and allow expansion of services<br />
needed by the community. In <strong>2008</strong>, the Auxiliary raised more<br />
than $45,813, the largest amount to date, for the purchase of<br />
equipment in six departments, including biphasic defibrillators<br />
for Ambulatory Surgery and the Emergency Department, a<br />
ceiling exam light for the Family Maternity <strong>Center</strong>, two E-Z Lift<br />
Beds for the <strong>Medical</strong>/Surgical Floor, an infusion pump and infloor<br />
scale for the Wade and Marjorie Hastings Dialysis Unit,<br />
and a blanket warmer for the ICU.<br />
Given the real and growing threat of state and federal budget<br />
cuts, all volunteers—regardless of role and function at<br />
AHMC—actively engaged in advocacy initiatives to halt<br />
proposed cuts and restore the funds needed to meet growing<br />
community needs.<br />

T<br />
The <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> is more than bricks and<br />
mortar—it is the caring and devotion offered each and<br />
every day by our dedicated employees. Our employees<br />
are the heart and soul of the <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> and take<br />
pride in helping to fulfill our mission of providing quality<br />
healthcare to the community.<br />
Whether working as a manager, nurse, housekeeper,<br />
dietary aide, technician, or an accounting specialist, the<br />
<strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> employees put the “care” in<br />
“caregiving.” Each and every employee goes beyond the<br />
requirements of the “job,” participating in volunteer<br />
initiatives that serve our neighbors – advocating for<br />
funding to preserve and build the <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong>,<br />
strengthening skills and knowledge through continuing<br />
education, and continually striving to improve the quality<br />
of care and comfort for our patients, residents, families,<br />
and community.<br />
None is more dedicated than longtime President and<br />
CEO, John Johnson, who has graciously agreed to<br />
continue leading the organization for another 3 years.<br />
Under his leadership, AHMC has grown in both its<br />
physical size and spectrum of services offered, earning a<br />
reputation as one of the finest health care institutions in<br />
the North Country. The Board of Directors, employees,<br />
and larger community are delighted that he will remain in<br />
this important role. His insight and leadership will be<br />
invaluable in guiding AHMC through these challenging<br />
times.<br />

AHMC would not have had the long-term success<br />
it has without the loyal support – monetary and<br />
otherwise - of its community, and the patients and<br />
families who reside in it. As an expression of<br />
gratitude and acknowledgement of this, the<br />
<strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> has, each year, endeavored to<br />
expand its offering of programs and services well<br />
beyond the walls of the institution.<br />
A key event for encouraging healthier lifestyles is<br />
our triennial Health Fair, which was attended by a<br />
record number of community members. This was<br />
just one of the many events, programs, and<br />
initiatives designed to foster better lifestyle habits<br />
and improve the overall health of our community.<br />
Other notable events and initiatives during <strong>2008</strong><br />
included:<br />
The creation of a Family Resource <strong>Center</strong> to<br />
provide credible, reliable information to our<br />
patients and their families<br />
Nearly 5,000 community members attending<br />
112 In Touch with Health programs<br />
Partnerships with schools to reinforce healthy<br />
living<br />
New Visions program and CampMed to help<br />
cultivate tomorrow's health care workforce<br />
Ask Me 3 initiative to engage our patients and<br />
families in our mission to provide the safest<br />
care possible<br />

Donors:<br />
<strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> is extremely fortunate to have a<br />
giving, caring community that supports us with gifts of time<br />
and funds. Community donations and support are important<br />
now more than ever given the current economic climate. And,<br />
our community was particularly generous this year—<strong>Alice</strong><br />
<strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> benefited from over 213,000 in<br />
community contributions. Your annual gifts provide essential<br />
funding for <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> projects including the newly<br />
installed Fetal Central Monitoring System for our Family<br />
Maternity <strong>Center</strong>.<br />
More than 1,200 people—a record turnout—attended the<br />
Winterfest ski benefit and the annual benefit golf tournament<br />
was again a rousing success.<br />
Our heartfelt thanks to all those who were part of <strong>Alice</strong> <strong>Hyde</strong>'s<br />
Loving Legacy Philanthropy campaign and to everyone who<br />
invests in AHMC; if you golf, ski, donate monies, make a<br />
stock gift, or include us in your will, we are grateful for your<br />
involvement and generosity.<br />

their passion for staying at the<br />

They devote many hours of<br />
personal time to acquiring<br />
continuing education in diagnosis<br />
and treatment, in an effort to better<br />
serve the needs of patients.<br />
