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 />

Quality<br />

All four of our qualifying acute-care hospitals became<br />

accredited Certified Chest Pain Centers by the<br />

Society of Chest Pain Centers. <strong>Methodist</strong> University<br />

Hospital also received The Gold Seal<br />

of Approval TM<br />

from The Joint<br />

Commission as a Certified AMI<br />

(Acute Myocardial Infarction-heart<br />

attack) Program.<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 />

Commitment to Our Community<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 />

our facilities provide access in all areas of the city and<br />

county. As a faith-based institution, access to<br />

healthcare <strong>for</strong> all of the community is important to us.<br />

<strong>Methodist</strong> Le Bonheur <strong>Healthcare</strong> provides over $125<br />

million of net community benefit expense* to Charity,<br />

Medicaid, TennCare, Medical Education, and<br />

community services.<br />

We work hard to become a part of the fabric of the<br />

communities we serve to be a good partner, a reliable<br />

neighbor…an irreplaceable resource.<br />

A medical mission team from Le Bonheur traveled to<br />

Haiti in early February 2010 to care <strong>for</strong> children and<br />

adult victims of the nation's catastrophic earthquake.<br />

During its two-week trip, the team treated 900 patients<br />

and per<strong>for</strong>med 165 surgeries. The team included two<br />

pediatric orthopedic surgeons, a trauma surgeon,<br />

critical care specialist, anesthesiologist and certified<br />

nurse anesthetist, paramedic and surgery technician.<br />

More than 18,000 Mid-Southerners were screened at<br />

420 health screening events, and we participated in<br />

community health fairs reaching more than 7,200<br />

people and staffed first aid tents at various events.<br />

<strong>Methodist</strong> supported the American Heart Association<br />

with a $25,000 gift and our Associates raised $58,772<br />

on their own <strong>for</strong> the AHA’s annual Heart Walk.<br />

A few of our highlights from 2009-2010<br />

include:<br />

<strong>Methodist</strong> donated supplies and personnel <strong>for</strong> a<br />

variety of projects including over $1,530 in Cardioscans<br />

and mammograms <strong>for</strong> various charity organizations,<br />

over $15,000 in surgical items to CrossLinks and<br />

Missions of Mercy, over $2,000 in supplies and furniture<br />

to local schools. We also donated medical supplies to<br />

overseas mission trips.<br />

Le Bonheur led the nation with an innovative triage<br />

system during the H1N1 swine flu pandemic.<br />

Le Bonheur erected a 2,500 square foot, temperature<br />

controlled tent in its parking lot to offer flu screenings<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 />

Mid-South Food Bank <strong>for</strong> raising over $8,000 in support<br />

of the Operation Feed campaign.<br />

* Net community benefit expense is calculated using a standard approach as required <strong>for</strong> government benefit reporting.<br />

Community<br />

The Congregational Health Network, an initiative of our<br />

Faith and Health division, is engaged in relationships<br />

with more than 280 churches throughout the Memphis<br />

area. The division held numerous seminars,<br />

workshops and retreats <strong>for</strong> area clergy <strong>for</strong> the purpose<br />

of healing, public health and health awareness.<br />

Le Bonheur established a new outpatient clinic to<br />

provide <strong>for</strong>ensic medical examinations <strong>for</strong> children who<br />

had been sexually abused. The clinic complements the<br />

Le Bonheur Child Assessment Program, which<br />

evaluates and provides counseling <strong>for</strong> child victims of<br />

maltreatment or neglect.<br />

Le Bonheur partnered with Memphis city parks<br />

services, community centers and local swim groups to<br />

create Make a Splash Mid-South, an organization<br />

<strong>for</strong>med in response to the drowning deaths of two<br />

teenagers in city pools. Since its creation, Make a<br />

Splash has funded swim lessons <strong>for</strong> hundreds of<br />

disadvantaged children, and instituted a diversity swim<br />

meet and lifeguard training to improve water safety.<br />

Passionate health care leaders, fundraisers and<br />

citizens launched a campaign to raise $5 million to<br />

create the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center of<br />

Memphis. The <strong>Methodist</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong> Foundation is<br />

working with campaign chairman Jim McGehee to<br />

create the only comprehensive inpatient center in<br />

the area, at <strong>Methodist</strong> University Hospital.<br />

Commitment to Diversity<br />

From 1999 to 2009, MLH spending with minority and<br />

women-owned vendors has grown from 4 percent to<br />

approximately 12 percent of annual spending. Total<br />

minority and women-owned vendor spending in 2009<br />

was $70.5 million up from $41.8 million in 2008. This<br />

remarkable 68 percent increase was substantially<br />

related to local minority and women-owned businesses<br />

participation in the Germantown and Le Bonheur<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 />
