Milestones provide great opportunities to reflect on past accomplishment and reaffirm future goals. Marshall’s 50th anniversary in 2009 was just such an opportunity. Here are a few highlights from Marshall activities as we celebrated 50 years of service to the people of El Dorado County. Happy Anniversary, Marshall! When Marshall Hospital officially opened for business on July 1, 1959 (it had been quietly treating patients a few days prior to that), it capped a victorious moment for a growing community. Citizens had rallied behind Marshall’s cause and in just weeks, raised over $400,000 (over $2.4 million by today’s standards)*. That success ensured the project would receive federal grants from the post-war Hill-Burton act, which pumped funds into the economy to modernize healthcare facilities and build new ones. Fifty years later, people gathered at the top of Marshall Way once again, to honor the 50th anniversary of a continually growing Marshall Medical Center. In a way, history repeated itself, for the anniversary celebration occurred right where a future new wing of the hospital would soon start to take shape. The new wing project was only made possible by substantial community donations. Fifty years -- and Marshall is still growing to support the health needs of our community, made possible by our community. *Source: measuringworth.com – GDP deflator calculation method HONORING THE PAST. BUILDING THE FUTURE. New Wing Construction: Full Steam Ahead In 2009 the construction of a new 88,000 square foot acute care wing moved from concept and schematics to reality and moving of earth. Much progress was made as crews focused on the initial phases of the project – excavating and preparing the site for the actual building phase of the process. As days and weeks tick by, we’re ever closer to seeing the building take shape. For regular updates on construction progress, visit www.marshallmedical.org.

Clinic Expansions for Cardiology and Primary Care Marshall was pleased to make services available in cardiology and primary care more convenient for more people, by establishing its own cardiology clinic and welcoming a new primary care group. Marshall Cardiology officially opened in early 2009 in Placerville. Within the year, it expanded services to Marshall’s Cameron Park campus and added two cardiologists to the team. Marshall Cardiology: 530-626-9488 or 916-933-2764 Healthcare for the whole family became more accessible with the addition of Marshall Sierra Primary Medicine in 2009. Seven caregivers in two different suites treat patients of all ages.

In 2009 that team got an added boost with the formation of a Rapid Response Team (RRT). The RRT is comprised of an Intensive Care Unit RN, an Emergency Department RN and a Respiratory Therapist on each shift. Typically they are called when the attending nurse has concerns about a patient’s condition change and wants other opinions about what changes could signal. The RRT is another extension of Marshall’s commitment to patient safety and is in keeping with our status as an accredited Joint Commission hospital. ER Manager Carol Velasquez, RN, Janel Campbell, RN, Debra Rodgerson, Respiratory Therapist and ICU Manager Dennis Bietz, RN are some of the key members of Marshall’s new Rapid Response Team. www.marshallmedical.org 7
