Letter from the Board Chair<br />
I am excited about my new post as Chairman of the Board of<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong>. This dynamic healthcare<br />
system is not only a major economic driver <strong>for</strong> the Mid-South,<br />
but also a one-of-a-kind place of healing <strong>for</strong> Mid-South<br />
residents and beyond.<br />
My fellow board members and the executive team at<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong> take our roles as stewards<br />
of the health system’s resources very seriously, and every<br />
decision we make causes us to ask ourselves, “Is this the right<br />
thing to do <strong>for</strong> patients and their families”<br />
As we take on new building projects, add services, make<br />
purchases, and <strong>for</strong>m partnerships, we are always laser<br />
focused on our strategic goals that will move the health<br />
system <strong>for</strong>ward and serve our patients and their families best.<br />
Ronald A. Belz, Board Chair<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong><br />
When I meet with other business leaders throughout the city, I often hear stories of praise <strong>for</strong><br />
the exceptional care provided by <strong>Methodist</strong> doctors, nurses and other caregivers. I take<br />
tremendous pride in being associated with all of these fine individuals, many of them unsung,<br />
who make a huge impact on patients’ and families’ lives every day. While I enjoy these<br />
encounters, I also think it is important <strong>for</strong> me and other <strong>Methodist</strong> leaders to know when care<br />
provided was less than stellar. Only then can we work to ensure that every patient experience<br />
reflects our mission, vision and values.<br />
I am honored to serve along with everyone else committed to accomplishing our mission.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Ronald A. Belz
Letter from the CEO<br />
When I think of the thousands of people who depend on<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong> and the dedicated<br />
Associates and physician partners who care <strong>for</strong> them, it gives<br />
me great satisfaction and pride. We have been a part of the<br />
fabric of this community <strong>for</strong> the better part of a century and it is<br />
<strong>for</strong> the privilege of serving you that we exist.<br />
Over the past year, sustainability <strong>for</strong> our health system and the<br />
earth’s resources has been a focus as we prepare to care <strong>for</strong><br />
generations to come. A new Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital<br />
and Women’s and Children’s Pavilion at <strong>Methodist</strong><br />
Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital were opened and built<br />
according to U.S. Green Building Council standards. Green<br />
construction also began on a new hospice residence, set to<br />
open in 2011.<br />
Gary S. Shorb, CEO<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong><br />
At <strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong>, we believe that transparency is the best policy. That’s<br />
why we placed two of our key indicators – our quality scores and our emergency room wait<br />
times – on our Web site so that patients can make better in<strong>for</strong>med decisions about their<br />
healthcare.<br />
We continue to make significant strides in our quality journey and are proud to have been<br />
listed as a U.S. News and World Report America’s Best Hospital <strong>for</strong> adult orthopedics. The<br />
Joint Commission awarded certification <strong>for</strong> heart attack and stroke at <strong>Methodist</strong> University<br />
Hospital with accreditation following <strong>for</strong> our Memphis hospitals. A strategic affiliation began<br />
with Columbia University Medical Center’s Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, with the goal of<br />
becoming a top 50 Cardiovascular Center in the country.<br />
A significant part of the <strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong> DNA is our mission and deep belief in<br />
the connection between faith and health. Towards the end of 2010, we will open our new<br />
Center of Excellence in Faith and Health located at <strong>Methodist</strong> University Hospital. As we continue<br />
to build our culture of patient- and family-centered care, the space will house a brandnew<br />
family care area and provide a collaborative space <strong>for</strong> research, innovation and training.<br />
All the good that has been done this year has been in the midst of massive changes in the way<br />
healthcare is delivered. <strong>Healthcare</strong> re<strong>for</strong>m brings many challenges to our organization, and as<br />
always, we look <strong>for</strong> the most innovative, efficient ways to be good stewards of our resources.<br />
That’s why physician alignment has become and will continue to be an important goal <strong>for</strong> us.<br />
Thank you <strong>for</strong> allowing us to care <strong>for</strong> you. Thank you <strong>for</strong> your continued support and<br />
engagement in our organization.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Gary S. Shorb
Teamwork<br />
By attracting and retaining diverse, yet like-minded<br />
individuals who embrace and support <strong>Methodist</strong><br />
Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong>’s core values of service,<br />
quality, integrity and teamwork, we are able to<br />
provide compassionate patient- and familycentered<br />
care. Weaving together the varied<br />
backgrounds and experience of our 10,000<br />
Associates <strong>for</strong>ms an extraordinary, supportive<br />
culture. And while our experiences are many, our<br />
goal is singular – to be the Mid-South’s top<br />
healthcare provider, and to reach that goal together.<br />
Perhaps one of the greatest attributes of our<br />
Associates lies in their generosity. Whether it’s<br />
giving to fellow Associates in need, to the United<br />
Way, volunteering their time with one of our<br />
Adopt-a-Schools or participating in one our many<br />
community health screening events, <strong>Methodist</strong><br />
Associates show us over and over again how much<br />
they care about our patients, their families, our<br />
community and each other. In 2009 alone,<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur Associates contributed<br />
$480,000 to the <strong>Methodist</strong> Foundation Humanitarian<br />
Fund and $500,000 <strong>for</strong> the United Way.<br />
Inspiration Awards<br />
Every quarter, Associates from across the system<br />
are chosen to receive a Miracle in Motion award,<br />
and each year, one of these Associates is chosen to<br />
receive an Inspiration Award. In 2009, we had a<br />
special team of nurses inspire us; Carol Shelton and<br />
Patient Care Coordinators Lynne S<strong>here</strong>r, and<br />
Jennifer Harper, of <strong>Methodist</strong> North Hospital.<br />
When a patient with a terminal diagnosis agreed to<br />
marry her fiancé after finding out her health was<br />
rapidly failing, Carol, Lynne and Jennifer rushed to<br />
accommodate the couple’s wish to marry in the<br />
chapel at <strong>Methodist</strong> North Hospital the next day.<br />
From decorations, to flowers and veil, this dedicated<br />
trio worked with chaplains and the family to make<br />
the patient’s dream come true overnight. Thank you<br />
<strong>for</strong> being an inspiration to all of us.<br />
In recognition of this positive, giving environment at<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong>, we were named to Modern <strong>Healthcare</strong>’s<br />
“Top 100 Best Places to Work in <strong>Healthcare</strong>” list <strong>for</strong><br />
2009 - one of only three Tennessee organizations to<br />
make the list.<br />

Le Bonheur Grand Opening Ceremony
Growth<br />
Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital<br />
Thanks to the generosity of a grateful community, we<br />
built a brand new Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.<br />
December 2010 is move-in month <strong>for</strong> patients and<br />
Associates in the new 255-bed, $340 million hospital –<br />
the largest children's hospital in the state of Tennessee.<br />
With nearly double the space <strong>for</strong> patient care, research<br />
and teaching, the new Le Bonheur will allow the<br />
hospital to continue to be a resource <strong>for</strong> families; to<br />
recruit and retain top talent from around the country;<br />
and expand pediatric medicine <strong>for</strong> decades to come.<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> Hospice Residence<br />
Thanks to the support of many, the <strong>Methodist</strong> Hospice<br />
Residence is expected to open in May 2011. It’s a place<br />
like home <strong>for</strong> those with a short time to live and a place<br />
<strong>for</strong> families and friends to share in the last days of a<br />
loved one’s life. Thanks to the facility’s special design,<br />
patients will be able to enjoy fresh air and sunshine<br />
outside in the winding garden areas or enjoy the view<br />
from their room. The facility also includes a chapel,<br />
areas w<strong>here</strong> loved ones can gather and a kitchen<br />
w<strong>here</strong> families can cook meals.<br />
More than $103 million of the $340-million construction<br />
costs were donated by the Memphis and Mid-South<br />
community, making it the largest fundraising campaign<br />
in the city’s history.<br />
Le Bonheur also opened the region's first Fetal Center,<br />
to provide high-risk pregnant mothers access to our<br />
pediatric experts be<strong>for</strong>e their baby is born. The Fetal<br />
Center provides them with a comprehensive and<br />
coordinated plan <strong>for</strong> their baby's care while in utero and<br />
after birth.<br />
The <strong>Methodist</strong> Hospice Residence will provide acute<br />
care <strong>for</strong> those who require symptom and pain<br />
management as well as short-term residential beds <strong>for</strong><br />
those who cannot be cared <strong>for</strong> in their homes. Funding<br />
<strong>for</strong> the project came from physicians, private donors,<br />
the Assisi Foundation of Memphis and several families<br />
that have been touched by hospice.<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> is constructing a Leadership in Energy and<br />
Environmental Design (LEED)-certified building as a part<br />
of the hospital’s pledge to be good stewards of<br />
resources.<br />
Olive Branch<br />
In 2011, we will break ground on a 100-bed hospital in<br />
Olive Branch, the fastest growing city in the fastest<br />
growing county in Mississippi. <strong>Methodist</strong> already<br />
serves approximately 7,000 inpatients and 47,000<br />
outpatients from Mississippi, who currently must travel<br />
out of state <strong>for</strong> care to stay in their health plan.<br />
The hospital will provide full-service health care to this<br />
booming population as well as stimulate<br />
economic growth in the area.<br />

The Women’s and Children’s Pavilion at Germantown Hospital
Growth<br />
Women’s and Children’s Pavilion<br />
The new Women’s and Children’s Pavilion at <strong>Methodist</strong><br />
Le Bonheur Germantown opened in early 2010,<br />
featuring room <strong>for</strong> 100 additional patients, 600 more<br />
parking spaces and 24 private neonatal intensive care<br />
unit (NICU) rooms <strong>for</strong> parents and their newborns. The<br />
Pavilion is one of only a handful of hospitals nationwide<br />
to receive gold-level certification from the LEED<br />
system, designated by the U.S. Green Building Council.<br />
Center of Excellence<br />
in Faith and Health<br />
As a faith-based institution rooted in The United<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> Church, it is only natural that within the<br />
walls of <strong>Methodist</strong> University Hospital will soon be the<br />
first-ever Center of Excellence in Faith and Health.<br />
The scope of its work will be local, national and even<br />
international. Because we recognize family members<br />
as an important part of the care team, the hub of this<br />
newly renovated 16,000 square foot area will be a<br />
state-of-the-art family care space, <strong>for</strong>merly the<br />
intensive care waiting room. The Center will also offer<br />
space <strong>for</strong> interfaith training, research, reflection and<br />
innovation.<br />
<strong>Healthcare</strong> Family. Additionally, Le Bonheur<br />
Children's Hospital and the University of Tennessee<br />
Health Science Center jointly launched a new<br />
pediatric specialty faculty group practice – UT<br />
Le Bonheur Pediatric Specialists.<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> University Hospital<br />
Transplant Institute<br />
The only abdominal transplant program in West<br />
Tennessee, the <strong>Methodist</strong> University Hospital<br />
Transplant Institute continues to have great success,<br />
giving new life to 250 patients in 2009. In partnership<br />
with the University of Tennessee Health Science<br />
Center, the program became the seventh largest<br />
program in the nation <strong>for</strong> liver transplantation and 35th<br />
in kidney transplantation. Thanks to our dedicated team<br />
of physicians and multi-disciplinary transplant team<br />
members, the Transplant Institute’s one-year graft<br />
survival and life expectancy outcomes are among the<br />
best in the nation. The transplant program recently<br />
achieved Center of Excellence status from all major<br />
insurers, including Blue Cross Blue Shield’s Blue<br />
Distinction Centers <strong>for</strong> Transplant (BDCT), which<br />
signifies that the program meets stringent clinical<br />
criteria in balance with growing transplant volume.<br />
Physician Partnerships<br />
<strong>Healthcare</strong> re<strong>for</strong>m has caused health providers and<br />
physicians to seek new ways to align <strong>for</strong> better<br />
efficiency and sustainability. This year Sutherland<br />
Cardiology Clinic and The CardioVascular Center<br />
became a part of the <strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur<br />
Center of Excellence in Faith and Health<br />

The Best Policy:<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong> believes in<br />
transparency and open, honest communication about<br />
quality to allow consumers to make in<strong>for</strong>med<br />
healthcare decisions. To us, the more patients and<br />
their families understand about healthcare quality, the<br />
more of an in<strong>for</strong>med partner they become in their care.<br />
The shift toward transparency began six years ago,<br />
when <strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong> made the<br />
decision to be among the first health systems in the<br />
country to embrace electronic medical records and<br />
physician order entry. The electronic medical record<br />
has helped us not only track the quality of several key<br />
indicators from patient admission to discharge, but it<br />
has allowed us to share this in<strong>for</strong>mation more easily<br />
with our patients.<br />
A few major transparency initiatives were launched this<br />
year on our consumer websites, methodisthealth.org<br />
and lebonheur.org. Patients are now able to view key<br />
quality indicator scores on our site <strong>for</strong> several<br />
conditions which empower them to make in<strong>for</strong>med<br />
decisions about their care. Emergency room wait<br />
times are also published <strong>for</strong> all five of our adult hospital<br />
locations, and the times update every two minutes. In<br />
addition, to improve the emergency room experience,<br />
both <strong>Methodist</strong> South and <strong>Methodist</strong> North offer<br />
30-minute guarantees from the time patients register<br />
to the time they are seen by a doctor, nurse practitioner<br />
or physician’s assistant. Another online initiative allows<br />
consumers to view next available screening<br />
mammography appointment times on our website.<br />
We are proud of the many accolades we<br />
have received this past year surrounding<br />
quality care. Main awards and<br />
recognition include:<br />
In 2010, U.S. News and World Report<br />
magazine ranked <strong>Methodist</strong> Hospitals<br />
on its prestigious list of the Best<br />
Hospitals in the nation <strong>for</strong> orthopedic<br />
care. <strong>Methodist</strong> ranked #27 in the<br />
nation out of 1,600 hospitals based on<br />
our clinical outcomes, volumes and our reputation<br />
among physicians.<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong> announced a strategic<br />
partnership with Columbia University Medical<br />
Center’s Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery. The<br />
cardiovascular clinical and management group<br />
services team, named Columbia Heartsouce SM ,<br />
shares clinical and quality guidance, access to<br />
Columbia clinical research trials, physician training<br />
and education in innovative cardiovascular<br />
procedures. Together, the partnership aims to<br />
make <strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong> a top<br />
50 Cardiovascular Center in the country.<br />

Hospital also received The Gold Seal<br />
of Approval TM<br />
from The Joint<br />
Commission as a Certified AMI<br />

One ranking <strong>Methodist</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong> aims to combat is<br />
the Mid-South’s listing in the “stroke-belt”, a seven state<br />
region in the southeast w<strong>here</strong> the stroke death rate is<br />
1.5 times the national average. <strong>Methodist</strong><br />
Germantown, North, South and University became<br />
certified Primary Stroke Centers through earning the<br />
Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission.<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong> was recognized <strong>for</strong> five awards<br />
by the Centers <strong>for</strong> Medicare & Medicaid Services<br />
(CMS) Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration Project.<br />
The project rewards hospitals <strong>for</strong> high quality care<br />
based on process of care and patient outcomes.<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> received the following awards:<br />
• Attainment Award – AMI (acute myocardial<br />
infarction), Heart Failure, Pneumonia, CABG<br />
(coronary artery bypass graft), Hip & Knee<br />
Replacement<br />
• Improvement Award – AMI (acute myocardial<br />
infarction), Pneumonia, Hip & Knee Replacement<br />
In 2009, <strong>Methodist</strong> Fayette Hospital was recognized<br />
twice as a leader in rural health. The Leapfrog<br />
Leadership in Pneumonia Care Quality and Cost<br />
Award by the Memphis Business Group on Health<br />
(MBGH) acknowledged the hospital’s high ratings on<br />
the 2008 Leapfrog Hospital survey <strong>for</strong> the treatment of<br />
pneumonia. It is the only national survey to report a<br />
hospital-efficiency score, which is a combination of a<br />
hospital’s quality of care and use of resources.<br />

We take our mission seriously and are committed to<br />
giving back to the community in a meaningful way.<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong> continues to be the<br />
largest provider of TennCare services in the state, and<br />

using the Centers <strong>for</strong> Disease Control and Prevention<br />
high-risk protocol. In all, 1,145 children were examined in<br />
the tent, all within minutes of arrival. When the H1N1<br />
vaccine became available weeks later, Le Bonheur<br />
Children's was the first in the nation to administer it.<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong> was recognized by the<br />

On the Horizon<br />
Health Care Re<strong>for</strong>m<br />
With the passage of healthcare re<strong>for</strong>m legislation.<br />
<strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong> is monitoring the<br />
landscape closely and working to increase efficiencies,<br />
partner wisely and leverage the power of digital<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation to better serve our patients. Some<br />
provisions take effect this year, but many more will<br />
unfold in the coming years. More Americans will have<br />
some <strong>for</strong>m of insurance going <strong>for</strong>ward, and hospitals<br />
have agreed to contribute $155 billion over 10 years to<br />
