Daily Choices
and Wellness at
Work
The temperature has risen to a
sunny 85 degrees. The sound
of lawn mowers humming and
kids splashing in a swimming pool can
be heard throughout the neighborhood.
Fireworks, picnics, vacations...it’s
summer. That season of freedom is
upon us. And while some are happy
to be in body-conscious bathing suits
and shorts, others see summer as an
opportunity for more hot dogs and
lazy afternoons on the patio.
Summer also brings a multitude
of opportunities to become or stay
healthy. Increased physical activity, an
abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables,
and a more conscious intake of water
all lead to a healthier lifestyle.
Evangelical Community Hospital
promotes healthy living on a yearround
basis by working with local
employers through the Hospital’s
Wellness at Work program.
“Our slogan for the Daily Choices
program is ‘Becoming personally
responsible to live healthier every day,’ ”
Deborah Shaffer, Wellness at Work
Coordinator, explained. “Healthcare
costs are on the rise across the country.
Employers are looking for ways to trim
costs by improving the health and wellbeing
of their employees. That can be
a challenge for some companies, but
that’s where Evan comes in,” Shaffer
said.
Daily Choices is a comprehensive
program of wellness activities
that businesses can offer to their
employees. With offerings as varied
as exercise, incentive programs, weight
management and nutritional education,
stress management, wellness screens
and vaccinations, employers can select
Wood-Mode employees “walked for wellness” this summer.

the activities that would benefit their
employees the most.
“Each business’s employee population
is different,” Shaffer noted. “While
some companies with a majority of
office workers would want a program
that increases their physical activity, an
industrial setting, where workers are on
the move all day, may need a program
that focuses on healthy eating habits or
stress management.”
One company that has explored the
Daily Choices program is Wood-Mode
in Kreamer. The custom cabinetry firm
employs more than 2,100 people and
has been interested in the health and
wellness of its employees for more
than 20 years.
“At Wood-Mode, our employees
have a wide range of ages and fitness
levels,” public relations coordinator
Alice Herrold said. To appeal to as
many employees as possible, Wood-
Mode has chosen two of the physical
activity offerings in the Daily Choices
program: Step Up…It Adds Up and
Walk for Wellness.
Step Up…It Adds Up is a three-month,
three-step program designed to help
participants make exercise a priority
in their daily routine. During the first
month, participants are encouraged to
be physically active three days a week,
which is increased to four days a week
during the second month. By the third
month, participants should be able to
be physically active five days a week.
At the beginning of the program, each
participant decides whether he or she
will exercise for 20, 30, or 40 minutes
during his or her active days.
“What’s great about this program is
that certain activities that people do
each day or on a regular basis count,
like gardening, taking the stairs instead
of the elevator, even cleaning the house,”
Shaffer noted. “It may seem daunting
at first to think of three days a week
of physical activity, considering how
it sometimes seems that each minute
of our lives is booked. But many
people don’t realize that they have the
Both office and plant workers participated in Wood-Mode’s wellness initiative, Daily Choices.
potential to be more active in their
daily lives already, just by increasing
the pace at which they walk their dog,
or the level of energy they put into
playing with their children. Physical
activity doesn’t have to be strenuous
to achieve significant health benefits,”
she added.
Walk for Wellness is a six-week
program designed to encourage and
enable participants to walk for exercise,
tracking their progress along the way.
Participants walk at their own pace at
one of three intensity levels: one-three
days a week, four-six days a week, or
seven days a week, for 30 minutes each
day. Some employers have actually
incorporated the walking program
into the workday.
“Walking is an excellent source of
exercise for any age,” said Michele
Simons, Certified Personal Trainer
at the Evangelical Fitness Center. “It
strengthens muscles in the feet, legs,
hips, stomach, and back, which keeps
the spine healthy. Walking for exercise
also improve the body’s circulation of
blood. It’s an easy activity that yields
so many positive results.”
Walking and regular stretching
improve flexibility and posture,
allowing the body to develop a better
range of motion, prevent uncomfortable
movements, and lower the risk of
future injury. It also strengthens bones
and reduces bone loss. “Walking helps
prevent osteoporosis, a disease that can
increase bone loss, as well as reducing
osteoarthritis pain,” Simons said.
“By choosing Step Up... It Adds Up
and Walk for Wellness, we seemed to
have achieved a happy medium for
our employees,” Herrold said. “Walk
for Wellness is right for someone who
may be just beginning a fitness routine
or for someone who wants to focus
only on walking. Step Up…It Adds
Up is great for someone who already
is somewhat physically active. There
is still more they can do, whether it’s
exercising more frequently or for a
longer period of time, and the Step Up
program encourages them to do so.”
These programs are tailored to each
individual, not just to the company. On
the registration form, each participant
is asked to rank his or her level of
motivation, as well as his or her personal
reasons for wanting to join the fitness
regimen, whether it is to lose weight,
improve his or her physical or mental
health, or spend healthy time with coworkers.
“The needs of each person are

She left a legacy...
Thyra M. Humphreys
September 26, 1907 – July 2, 2007
In early July, Evangelical Community
Hospital lost a dear friend
and advocate when Thyra M.
Humphreys died at the age of 99.
Many at the Hospital knew her best
because of the Thyra M. Humphreys
Center for Breast Health. Thyra made
a generous gift in 1999 to establish
the Center, ensuring that women in the
Susquehanna Valley would have a warm
and welcoming place to get their annual
mammogram, learn the latest in breast health
education, and receive advanced treatments and
surgical procedures for all types of breast disease, including breast cancer.
“Thyra’s gift allowed us to do so many great things for women’s health,
especially breast cancer prevention and treatment. Her gift helped us
save lives,” said John F. Turner, MD, Medical Director of the Thyra M.
Humphreys Center for Breast Health. “She was so proud of what has
become of the Center and always supported our new ventures. We are
honored that we can carry on her legacy.”
Now in its eighth year, the Thyra M. Humphreys Center for Breast Health
has grown and changed as technology and treatment modalities have evolved.
“Last year, the Center added digital mammography, the most advanced
technology for the diagnosis of breast cancer,” Turner said. “The Center
continues to be advanced and progressive, while caring and compassionate.”
Thyra was a member of the Lewisburg community since 1937, when
her husband, Albert, began his career as head football coach at Bucknell
University. Thyra was a member of the Hospital’s Legacy Circle, Community
Advisory Council, Auxiliary, and a loyal supporter. Thyra celebrated her
99th birthday in September 2006 with a tea party at the Center for Breast
Health.
Tami Radecke, Vice-President of Community Relations and Chief
Development Officer, spent many afternoons with Thyra and enjoyed their
friendship immensely. “Thyra was just one of those truly special people
whom you only meet once in a lifetime. She exhibited a certain elegance,
grace, and independence that was quite remarkable,” she said.
Radecke smiles as she remembers the first time she met Thyra, “It was a
hot summer afternoon and we had planned to go to lunch in Lewisburg. I
met Thyra at her apartment and escorted her to my car. As I opened the car
door for her, she immediately made it very clear that I was not to treat her
like an old lady! Thyra was 94 years old when we had that first lunch. She
was an amazing woman.”
Thyra is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Richard and Jane
Humprheys of Texas, three grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

PART OF
THE FAMILY
The Straussers
Together, Randy and Beth
Strausser of Danville have given
nearly 40 years of excellent
service to Evangelical Community
Hospital. With that same attitude of
care and dedication, they are raising
their two children.
Randy, who began working at
Evangelical in 1985, is the Director
of Pharmacy Services. Beth joined
Evangelical six years later as
the Administrative Secretary for
Operations/Nursing Administration.
The Straussers began their careers
as interns, with Randy interning
at Geisinger and Beth interning at
Evangelical. Randy did not hesitate
at the opportunity to work at Evan
when he learned of the Director of
Pharmacy Services position. “Evan
has a unique relationship with the
community,” said Randy. “It is unlike
any other community hospital.”
Randy oversees the operations of
the inpatient pharmacy as well as the
HomeCare Pharmacy. “I really enjoy
the variety of tasks that my job entails,”
said Randy. “I especially like that when
a challenge arises, there are great people
I get to work with to solve it.”
Beth provides secretarial support
for Paul Tarves, Vice President of
Nursing, as well as support for the Vice
President of Operations.
Beth’s thoughts echoed those of her
husband. “Evangelical is such a great
place to work, with so many caring
people, that every time you do a nice
job, people notice and are not afraid to
recognize what you have done.”
The Strausser Family: Tori, Randy, Beth, and Eli.
The Straussers have also been
involved with the Hospital through
different committees. Randy is involved
with the Hospital’s Reed Tour and is a
member of the Annual Fund Employee
Committee. Beth is a member of the
Employees Activities Committee.
Outside of the Hospital, Randy is a
member of the Board of Directors of
the Pennsylvania Society of Hospital
Pharmacists. Beth is a member of the
Home and School Association at her
daughter’s school.
Due to busy work schedules, Randy
and Beth don’t get to see each other
that often during the workday. When
they are together they enjoy spending
time with their two children, Tori, 6,
and Eli, 3. As a family, the Straussers
enjoy swimming in the summer and
skiing in the winter. They also enjoy
bicycling, hiking, and kayaking.

ANNUAL FUND
EXCEEDS GOAL
BY $150,000
The 2006-2007 Annual Fund,
“Here You’re Like Family,”
exceeded its goal of $585,000
by more than $150,000.
Thanks to the support of our
community, the Hospital posted a
record year for the Annual Fund,
raising $738,019.
This would not be possible if not
for the continuous support of our
grateful patients, dedicated foundation,
medical staff, employees, businesses,
and community members who love
and support the Hospital and its
caregivers.
The Annual Fund allows Evangelical
to continue to provide programs and
services that are not covered by patient
fees.
Special thanks to Bonnie & Joe McGranaghan,
co-chairs of the 2006-2007 Annual Fund, for
sharing their personal story about their experience
at Evangelical Hospital.

a key to his or her individual success,”
Shaffer said. “We really strive to meet
each person’s needs, and help him or
her to reach their very personal goals.”
Shaffer is quick to point out that
before starting any new exercise
program, it is important to consult your
physician. “Before participants begin
any of our activity-based programs,
we ask them to fill out a physician
questionnaire to screen their ability for
physical activity.”
This is not the first time Wood-
Mode has teamed up with Evangelical
for the health of its employees. The
company has hosted several “lunch
and learn sessions” with speakers
from the Hospital, understanding that
educating employees about risk factors
for certain diseases and conditions
and the importance of good nutrition
and exercise habits are just as vital as
getting up and moving.
Wood-Mode had a great participation
rate for both the Step Up and
Walk for Wellness programs, with 25
percent of its employee population
taking part, or 533 participants.
“Previous programs we’ve held had
a 20 percent participation rate or
lower,” Herrold said. “We were very
pleased to have more people sign
up for Daily Choices than for other
programs. Seeing more of your people
take an active role in their health is so
encouraging.”
With 45 employees signing up for
Walk for Wellness, the vast majority of
Wood-Mode participants were on
board for Step Up…It Adds Up. To keep
track of nearly 500 employees, team
captains were a must. “We had about
16 team captains who collected and
kept track of their members’ activity
tallies and helped us communicate
with our participants,” Herrold said.
“They were the first ones to cheer on
their teammates when they were truly
stepping up, and to gently support
the ones who may have been falling
behind. The team captains were the
key to making this program work as
well as it did for us.”
And did it ever! Of the 486
participants who signed up for the
Step Up program, 465 completed all
12 weeks the program was in session,
a 96 percent completion rate. Of the
45 people who participated in the Walk
for Wellness program, 40 completed the
entire program. “It was so great to see
people outside walking during lunch or
on their breaks. Men and women of all
ages were involved in such an energetic
way,” Herrold said.
Feedback on Step Up and Walk for
Wellness has been tremendously positive.
“I’ve overheard people say that they
are less tired and have more energy,”
Herrold commented. “It’s too early to
say if productivity has increased, but
if our employees are feeling healthier
and taking better care of themselves,
I would bet that the company has
benefited as well.”
Wood-Mode has a steering
committee that gets feedback from
employees and brainstorms new ideas
for health awareness programs. “It
helps to cast a wide net and get a lot of
input when it comes to working with
more than 2,000 employees,” Herrold
said.
“We were so blessed to have the
support of upper management in all
of our health and wellness programs,”
she continued, noting particularly the
support of CEO Robert Gronlund.
“These are not folks who only have
their eye on the company’s bottom line.
Wood-Mode employees are a family,
and we always want them to be healthy
and happy.”
Wood-Mode is not the only company
that has its employees’ well-being in
mind. Playworld Systems in Lewisburg
and QE Manufacturing in Mifflinburg
are also implementing Daily Choices
programs for their employees.
“Increased physical activity has so
many specific health benefits, like
reducing the risk of developing

diabetes, high blood pressure, and some
cancers,” Shaffer said. It also reduces
feelings of depression and anxiety
while promoting overall psychological
well-being. She continued, “You sleep
better, manage weight, have increased
energy and strength, lower cholesterol,
and so much more. The day to begin
exercising is today. The time is now.”

For the Health of It
We’re Going Tobacco-Free
According to the Pennsylvania
Department of Health, the
use of tobacco kills more
Americans every year than HIV, illegal
drug and alcohol use, motor vehicle
accidents, suicides, and murders
combined. American Cancer Society
statistics show that tobacco is also
the number one source of preventable
deaths in the United States. As an
organization that promotes health
and wellness, Evangelical Community
Hospital is taking a step forward by
becoming a tobacco-free campus.
On November 15, 2007, Evangelical
will join several other hospitals across
Pennsylvania in a unified effort
to promote healthy lifestyles by
prohibiting the use of tobacco on any
property owned, leased, or occupied by
the Hospital. All cigarette depositories
will be removed from the campuses and
numerous signs will be posted to remind
the community that the Hospital is
tobacco-free. November 15 also marks
the 31st year of the American Cancer
Society’s Great American Smokeout,
providing an opportunity for current
smokers to join together and take a day
off from smoking.
Nichole Hockenbrock, Director
of Community Health Education,
Deborah Shaffer, Wellness Coordinator,
and Michael Pierce, Vice-
President of Human Resources, are
leading the Tobacco-Free Environment
Committee at Evangelical, along with
unanimous Hospital Board support.
“We’re encouraging and supporting
our employees, patients, and visitors to
quit using tobacco products, as well as
asking those who smoke adjacent to
Evangelical’s campus to dispose of their
tobacco products in a conscientious
manner before coming on to Hospital
property,” Hockenbrock said.
Bob Sites, Evangelical’s 2006
10 Evangelical News Summer 2007
Employee of the Year and a member
of the Tobacco-Free Environment
Committee, recently decided to quit
after 37 years of smoking one to
two packs a day. Sites was recently

diagnosed with Raynaud’s Syndrome,
a circulation disorder, which combined
with his smoking habits caused him
to lose two fingers. He struggles
with the loss everyday as a painter
in the Hospital’s Plant Engineering
Department. “After losing my fingers I
decided to quit smoking, and I haven’t
smoked a cigarette since. In order to be
successful, you have to be determined
that you can quit,” Sites said.
“As a healthcare leader, it is our
responsibility to promote health and
wellness. It is understandable that
this change could be challenging for
some, as it has been for Bob, but the
Hospital will provide ongoing support
throughout the transition,” said
President & CEO Michael O’Keefe.
Evangelical offers the QuitSmart
smoking cessation program to
employees and the community. During
Artwork by Rebekah Lofgren, Donald
H. Eichhorn Middle School, Lewisburg
the program, Assistant Director of
Respiratory Therapy Susan Sidler, a
certified QuitSmart counselor, meets
with participants individually through
the step-by-step quitting process.
Sidler also approaches and encourages
the inpatients at Evangelical who are
current smokers to take advantage of
the QuitSmart program.
Evangelical’s Tobacco-Free Environment
Committee also worked with
the children in the Lewisburg School
District to design artwork to represent
the slogan “For the Health of It, We’re
Going Tobacco-Free.” Four students
were chosen as winners: Maximilian
Ororbia and Rebekah Lofgren from
Donald H. Eichhorn Middle School,
and Morgan Jackson and Alana
O’Rourke from Linntown Elementary
School. Their artwork will be used in
the tobacco-free promotion of the
Hospital.
Evangelical is hoping to set an
example for the community by taking
a leadership role in tobacco prevention
and promoting healthy choices in
the workplace. For more information

programs, please call Respiratory
