Emanuel’s New Heart Services Will Save Lives
On a dark night nine years ago,
Bob Ferrel lay awake in his hospital bed
at Emanuel, gripped by terrible pain in
his chest.
That wasn’t all that kept him awake.
“I knew Emanuel didn’t have cardiac
facilities,” he said.
That’s changing.
Emanuel has already developed a
Cardiovascular Services Department and
opened a state-of-the art Cardiac Cath
and Interventional Lab. But those are just
the first steps in building a world-class
cardiac program.
With cutting-edge technology and worldrenown
talent, Emanuel’s new program
is being built with one simple goal – to
save lives. But it will also help patients feel
something very different than what Ferrel
experienced nine years ago.
Very soon, if you’re having a heart attack
or feeling chest pain, Emanuel is exactly
where you’ll want to be.
A Need Long Known
Heart disease is the leading killer of both
men and women in America, and during a
heart attack, every second counts.
Dr. Harold Tabaie, medical director of cardiothoracic and
vascular surgery and Michael Reising, physician assistant
“This is something the community needs
here, and it was frustrating for us at the
hospital to have to transfer people out to
other facilities,” explained John Sigsbury,
Emanuel president and CEO. “The medical
community has been waiting for us to
do this, and has been very supportive
and encouraging.”
But building a program takes time.
Sigsbury started right away, recruiting
cardiologist Dr. Reza Vafadouste to open a
practice in Turlock in 2003.
“Previously all patients were transferred to
Modesto, and there was no cardiology
coverage in the hospital at night,” Dr.
Vafadouste said. “When Mr. Sigsbury
came to Emanuel he recruited me to start
building a cardiology team and we’ve
gradually expanded services in Turlock.”
In 2009, the hospital recruited an
internationally known cardiothoracic and
vascular surgeon, Dr. Harold Tabaie, as
medical director of cardiothoracic and
vascular surgery and tasked him to build
a comprehensive cardiac program
at Emanuel.
“The first step was starting a cardiac
catheterization program,” Dr. Tabaie said.
That began in April when Emanuel opened
its Cardiac Cath and Interventional Lab
– a state-of-the-art facility that allows
cardiologists and interventional radiologists
to see X-ray movies of a patient’s heart
and other organs and perform dozens of
minimally-invasive surgical procedures.
“The lab is already benefitting patients,”
Dr. Tabaie said. “We’re already doing
advanced procedures like endovascular
stent placement, abdominal aortic surgery,
automatic internal cardiac defibrillator
placement, peripheral arterial stent
placement and video-assisted
lung surgery.”

SUMMER 2010
Dear Friends,
Thinking back over the past decade,
it’s almost hard to remember what
Emanuel Medical Center looked like
10 years ago.
There was no Mary Stuart Rogers Birthing
Center. We didn’t have our three-story,
cutting-edge critical care center. Emanuel
Regional Cancer Services didn’t exist, and
there were no state-of-the-art cancer
treatments or technologies to be found
anywhere in Turlock.
It makes us very proud to see these
facilities and services and know they are
making a real difference in the lives of our
friends and neighbors in the greater Turlock
area. But it should make you, the members
of this great community, even more proud.
Because none of it could have happened
without your support.
As you’ll read in this issue of HeartBeat,
we’re planning the next expansion of
Emanuel services – building a
comprehensive cardiac care program so
no one in our community will have to be
transported out of the area for heart care.
It’s a program we’ve been planning and
building slowly for many years, and now
it’s becoming a reality.
We invite you to join us in bringing these
much-needed services to Turlock.
If you’ve never before given to Legacy
Circle, our annual giving program, we ask
that you make this the year that you begin.
Our donors can walk almost anywhere
around this hospital and see new lifesaving
technology and services they
helped bring to Turlock. We love hearing
their stories, and the pride in their voices,
when they tell us how it makes them feel.
We invite you to share in that feeling.
Heart disease is the country’s leading killer
of both men and women, and bringing
state-of-the-art heart care to Turlock will
save lives in our community. In this issue,
you’ll meet some of the talented
physicians bringing this program to
Emanuel, learn about our five-year plan
to expand cardiac care, and read the
stories of people in the community who
know the value of having high-quality
heart care close at hand.
On behalf of everyone at
Emanuel Medical Center, we would
like to once again thank you for your
continued support. It is a blessing you
bestow on an entire community.

Giving to Emanuel: The Ferraris Follow their Hearts
Turlock’s Jeani and John Ferrari have a
simple philosophy: Giving is good.
The couple has been living that
philosophy for the past 33 years
as regular and generous donors to
Emanuel Medical Center. But this year
they’ve super-sized their commitment.
This year the Ferraris put up a
$500,000 gift challenge, an
incentive for Legacy Circle donors to
raise $1 million for Emanuel’s new
cardiac program which will bring
state-of-the-art heart care to Turlock.
When the community raises that
million, the Ferraris will donate a half
million more.
“We always hope our gifts stimulate
gifts from others who might not have
otherwise given,” John says. “This
is a way to do that, and generate a
bigger pot of money for the hospital.”
Jeani, who also volunteers at Emanuel
Regional Cancer Services, says she
finds donating to a good cause a
joyful experience.
“I know people say it’s not a good
time to ask the community for money,
but I have a great attitude about
it,” she explains. “I think a giver’s
enthusiasm affects people, they then
have the opportunity to experience
the same joy we’re experiencing.
Giving to such a good cause makes
you feel like a hero.”
John shares her enthusiasm. Just ask
anyone who meets him during a
Legacy Circle campaign.
“John is a great team person and always a
top performer,” Jeani says proudly. “We’ll
go to a restaurant where we eat frequently
and if the waitperson is someone who
knows us, John will start talking about the
“I think a giver’s enthusiasm affects
people, and they then have the
opportunity to experience the same
joy we’re experiencing. Giving to
such a good cause makes you feel
like a hero.”
- Jeani Ferrari
Jeani and John Ferrari have pledged to donate $500,000
hospital. Before we leave, he’ll have an
address to send them more information.
“His attitude is that if he tells someone
about the hospital and gets them involved,
they’ll be lifelong supporters,” Jeani says.
John explains why.
“The fundamental basis for our support
of Emanuel Medical Center is that it’s our
community hospital. Jeani and I have
talked about this a number of times
and we cannot come up with another
opportunity to touch so many people’s
lives. If you live in this community, one
day you will need Emanuel. And I believe
that once you give to Emanuel and see
the important work it’s doing, you’ll stay
involved for a very long time.”
The Ferraris have been thrilled with all
the new programs, services and
facilities Emanuel and Legacy Circle
volunteers and donors have built
in the past 10 years – Mary Stuart
Rogers Birthing Center, emergency
department, cancer endowment and
now state-of-the-art cardiac services.
“This is the most exciting thing since
the last exciting thing at Emanuel
Medical Center”, says John. “In
the past 10 years this hospital has
grown by leaps and bounds.”
“People talk about bucket lists,”
Jeani says. “For me, the things on
my bucket list are doing as much as
I can for the community. This is my
opportunity at this time in my life,
and it’s been so much fun, it
really has.”
John smiles.
“It’s exciting living with Jeani,” he
says. “I have no idea what we’ll
be involved with five years from
now – but I know we will still be involved
with Emanuel.”
And that’s good news for everyone in the
community.

SUMMER 2010
Breast Health Navigator Helps Women through their Cancer Journey
When Patricia Montgomery had
an abnormal mammogram at the
Ruby E. Bergman Women’s Center, she
knew she was going to need more tests
and possibly treatment. She didn’t know
she would have someone by her side,
helping her through that process.
Meet Debbie Tuttle, Emanuel Regional
Cancer Services’ Breast Health Navigator.
For women who have – or may have –
breast cancer, Tuttle is part support person,
part advocate, part teacher, part guide
and all guardian angel.
“She took me under her wing,” said
Montgomery, 67, of Turlock. “She’s really
nice and helped me out a lot.”
Tuttle came to Emanuel this spring, when
the Breast Health Navigator position
was created.
“The navigator’s role is to facilitate
communication and coordination of care
from the moment a patient receives a
possible diagnosis of breast cancer,”
explained Dr. Christopher Perkins, the
medical director of Emanuel Regional
Cancer Services. “The first thing patients
want to know is, ‘Is it cancer, and if so,
what do I do next?’ The navigator helps
4
Navigator Debbie Tuttle (right) and breast cancer survivor
Sandy Bettencourt
the patient get those answers in a
smooth and timely manner.”
For Montgomery, Tuttle provided
support to help minimize the fear
and uncertainty as she moved
through the overwhelming schedule
of appointments and consultations.
“Working closely with patients, I
can assist with situations that might
cause delays in receiving timely
treatments,” Tuttle explained. “I can
help patients understand test results
and terminology, and ensure that patients
are able to share with their health care
team what is unique about their situation –
their preferences and priorities – which
is an important part of making
treatment decisions.”
For Montgomery, who underwent a
mastectomy, Tuttle provided additional
education on the options that her surgeon
had presented to her, enrolled her in the
American Cancer Society’s “Reach to
Recovery” program, provided reinforcement
on a clinical trial offered to her by her
medical oncologist, reviewed educational
materials on options for reconstructive
surgery, and helped her find a resource for
mastectomy bras and prosthetics.
“She’s been a really big help,”
Montgomery said.
For Tuttle, it’s a dream job.
“I’ve been an oncology nurse my entire
career,” she said. “I’ve been a clinical
educator teaching nursing staff, a patient
educator and clinical nurse specialist
working with newly diagnosed cancer
patients, a research nurse in clinical trials
and a pediatric and adult oncology
nurse since I first began nursing in 1986.
Everything I’ve done has been preparing
me for this role.”
Tuttle came to Emanuel from the Kaweah
Delta Health Care District in Visalia.
“Patient navigation was what I wanted to
do,” she said. “I really enjoy being part
of a health care team that works together
to support the patient because that’s what
high-quality health care is all about.”
Tuttle works out of the hospital’s stateof-the-art
breast health center, the
Ruby E. Bergman Women’s Center,
although patients do not have to be treated
at the Center to use her services. Tuttle
is available to provide an individualized
breast cancer risk assessment for women
concerned about their risk of breast cancer,
and is available to speak to groups on
issues related to breast cancer. She is
a certified breast health navigator, an
advanced practice nurse with a master’s
degree in nursing, and she is studying to
get her Family Nurse Practitioner certificate.
She’s been active in the Oncology Nursing
Society her entire career.
“My role is to empower women and help
them navigate the system,” she explained.
“No one likes feeling like a patient, like
everything is just happening to you, and
I love helping people become active
participants in their cancer-treatment
journey. This is where I belong.”
Perkins couldn’t agree more.
“She’s the best person in the world for
this position,” he said. “She’s fantastic
– dedicated, caring, personable and
a certified navigator. I think her hiring
is another example of how Emanuel is
committed to providing world-class cancer
services and raising the quality of care in
our community.”

SUMMER 2010
Emanuel’s New Heart Services Will Save Lives
(Continued from page 1)
diagnostic workups, the lab has been a
blessing. In fact, since the lab opened
three months ago, more than 300 cardiac
cath diagnostic procedures have
been performed.
“Those are just diagnostic procedures;
determining what may be wrong,”
Dr. Nazari explained.
The Next Steps
The next step for Emanuel’s expanding
cardiac services is to begin performing
life-saving open-heart procedures, and that
could begin by early 2011.
To make it possible, Emanuel is significantly
upgrading an existing operating room and
installing the heart-lung machine necessary
for cardiac surgery. At the same time,
the hospital is designing and will build
two brand new cardiac surgery suites,
anticipated to open in late 2012.
One of those operating rooms will be
a hybrid operating room where the
surgical table is integrated into the type
of interventional radiology scanner found
in a cath lab. That integration allows one
surgeon to control both the table and
scanner with a single control.
“It’s a very, very highly advanced
operating room that only a few major
cardiac centers, like the Cleveland Clinic,
have,” Dr. Tabaie explained. “Once we
have this, whatever happens with a patient
we’ll be able to treat them right there.”
The price tag on construction and
equipment for those two new rooms is
nearly $4 million, and that investment
brings broader community benefits as well.
Emanuel’s existing lab facilities will expand
to perform tests that cannot be done
locally now. In addition, related medical
services, like pulmonary specialists, will
expand. The technological competency
of Turlock’s medical corps will grow as
specialized anesthesiologists, perfusionists,
cardiac surgical nurses and other technical
experts are recruited to the area.
But most importantly, those facilities, those
services and those skilled professionals will
be available to the people who live in and
around Turlock. Care will be moments, not
miles, away.
“Patients will not be delayed,” Dr. Tabaie
said. “That’s what is most important. Our
main purpose is to prevent a catastrophic
event which can occur when a patient has
to be transferred to an operating room in
a distant facility. Eliminating that time delay
can save a lot of patients.”
Making it Happen
This year, Legacy Circle—the hospital’s
annual giving campaign—is embarking
on a five-year journey to bring world-class
heart care to Emanuel Medical Center.
The campaign theme is “Let Your Heart
Build the Way.”
“It’s our first five-year campaign,”
said Shirley Pok, the hospital’s vice
president of development. “We usually
plan three-year fundraising efforts, but
believe the magnitude of this community
need, lends strength to support an
extended campaign.”
This year’s Legacy Circle effort runs from
August 26 to October 7.
“It’s the same team format we’ve used,”
said director of annual giving Jana Rhine.
“We have 15 community teams with
a goal of raising $700,000, and 12
employee teams with a $300,000 goal.
And we have the Ferraris’ challenge gift.”
That challenge is simple: if the campaign
can raise $1 million, Turlock’s Jeani and
John Ferrari will donate $500,000 more.
(See story, page 3.)
Sigsbury for one is optimistic.
“The community has been incredibly
supportive of the hospital growing and
changing and expanding with a new
birthing center, emergency department,
additional private rooms and an oncology
program,” he said. “Now we’re
looking to the community to support
cardiovascular services.”
“We’re responding to a community need in
developing these services, and telling the
community, ‘We need you, too,’” Sigsbury
said. “I hope people will get involved.”
While responding to the immediate
community need, Emanuel will remain
focused on its vision for the future—a
dedicated space for the consolidation of
world-class cardiovascular services.

Referring to and Receiving Heart Care
Dr. Ronald Arakelian
As an internist, Dr. Ronald Arakelian
specializes in treating older adults.
“Because they’re older, a number of them
have heart disease,” he said
In a typical week, about two of
Dr. Arakelian’s patients will need
advanced cardiac diagnostic work –
something that wasn’t available at
Emanuel Medical Center until the
Cardiac Cath and Interventional Lab
opened in April 2010.
The benefits are already apparent.
“The main benefit is having rapid access to
diagnostic heart catheterization,” he said.
“This results in fewer patient problems, and
patients not having to stay in the hospital
or be transferred to another facility.”
Although he’s not directly involved in
Emanuel’s new cardiac services program,
Dr. Arakelian supports the new services
because they will benefit the community
and his patients. He likes what he’s seen
so far.
“When you’re establishing a catheterization
lab, you need to have state-of-the-art
6
Dr. Ronald Arakelian, Internist
equipment and Emanuel does,” he said.
“Then, most importantly, you need excellent
personnel – the cardiologists and staff that
assist them.
“At Emanuel, we have excellent
interventional cardiologists who can
successfully perform diagnostic studies, but
also are skilled at interventional procedures
like balloon angioplasties and stenting.”
So sharing Emanuel’s vision for
comprehensive cardiac services is natural
for Dr. Arakelian.
It’s one more way to take care of
his patients.
Walnut buyer Bob Ferrel, and his wife Cherlynn
Bob Ferrel
Bob Ferrel’s chest pains began about 12
years ago, when he was 55. Not wanting
to worry his wife Cherlynn, Ferrel didn’t
say anything.
“It got so that when I was mowing the
lawn, I could only mow two strips before I
had to rest,” he said. “Finally it got so bad
that one night she just looked at me and
knew something was wrong and we went
to the Emergency Room at Emanuel.”
He was admitted to the hospital and had
more pain that night and lay awake in
his room.
“I knew Emanuel didn’t have cardiac
facilities,” he said. “Fortunately, I didn’t
have a heart attack,” he said. “In that I
was lucky.”
But Ferrel also knows he cut it close, and
that if he had suffered a heart attack the
distance to Modesto might have been
more than he could have survived.
“By the time it takes to get to another heart
facility, it could have been the end,”
he said.
Since that incident, Ferrel has taken better
care of his heart. He changed his diet and
tries to exercise pretty regularly. And he
was thrilled when he found out this year’s
Legacy Circle campaign would advance
cardiovascular services in Turlock.
The Ferrels have been steady Legacy
Circle donors since the annual giving
campaign began 10 years ago.
“We’re not huge donors. Not everybody
can donate thousands and thousands of
dollars,” he said. “But I believe if you’re
able to donate something you should.
It’s a good cause and it’s good for
the community.”
And Ferrel knows there’s another good
argument for helping bring quality cardiac
care to the community: It can save
your life.

SUMMER 2010
At the Heart of Family Matters
Susan Quigley, VP, Premier Client Services Officer,
Rabobank
Susan Quigley
Susan Quigley knows better than most
that it’s not just patients who will benefit
from Emanuel’s new cardiac program and
facilities. It’s families.
Since 1995, her husband, a close friend
and her father all had heart trouble and all
needed open-heart surgery. And all had to
have their procedures done in Modesto.
It really hit her in 2006 when her father,
Don Bradley, had his heart attack at
the age of 77. He’d been widowed
three years earlier and was a little hard
of hearing, so it was important to have
Quigley there when his doctors talked
with him.
“I’d get up at 4 a.m. and get ready for
work,” she remembered. “I’d drive to
Modesto and try to be there when the
doctors made their rounds in the morning.
Then I’d drive back and come to work. If I
could, I’d run up on my lunch hour or drop
by after work to visit, and he was lonely
and didn’t want me to leave. But eventually
I’d have to get home to my husband, and
we’d grab something for dinner and that’s
your day.”
But it wasn’t the inconvenience that makes
Quigley so excited about the new cardiac
program at Emanuel. It’s knowing that her
dad would have been less anxious and
healed more quickly if he had been cared
for in Turlock.
“To have a family member or friend there
can really lessen the anxiety and stress of
being in the hospital,” she said. “It benefits
the health of the patient. It’s so much better
to be in your own community than 30 or
40 miles away from anyone you know.”
Quigley and her husband Jerry Pettigrew
have been Legacy Circle volunteers since
the beginning. Now, with her family’s
history, Quigley’s more excited than ever
to be a part of the effort that will build
world-class cardiac facilities in Turlock, and
hopes a new generation of donors begins
coming forward.
Patricia Romeo with her son Dr. Sam Romeo, Jr.
Patricia Romeo
Patricia Romeo had the migraines all her
life. They were the bad kind – the blackout,
throw-up, pray-for-relief kind.
Then 11 years ago, while living in
Southern California, she had her first
stroke. She was 59.
Five years later she had a second stroke.
But this time she was in Turlock and treated
by local cardiologist Dr. Reza Vafadouste
at the Turlock Heart and Vascular Institute.
And Dr. Vafadouste performed a test that
no one had ever performed on her, a
“bubble echo.” The test quickly discovered
the small hole in her heart that had allowed
tiny blood clots to pass to her brain.
Those clots were causing her migraines and
her strokes, and since surgery four years
ago, Romeo hasn’t had a repeat of either.
Since Romeo’s condition was congenital,
Dr. Vafadouste asked if anyone else in the
family got migraines. Her son, Dr. Sam
Romeo, a family practitioner and sports
medicine doctor at the Romeo Medical
Clinic in Turlock, also suffered from the
crippling headaches.
“He went to see Dr. Vafadouste, and not
only did he have what I had, his hole
was much larger,” she said. “He had his
surgery three years ago and has had no
migraines since.”
The Romeos strongly support Emanuel’s
plan to build a state-of-the-art cardiac
program in Turlock because they know that
it’s not just technology that saves lives, it’s
also the talent of the doctors, nurses and
technicians using that technology.
And that talent has already taken hold
in Turlock.
“Cardiology is just excellent here,”
Patricia Romeo said. “We’re very
fortunate to have such quality physicians
and a hospital with a clear commitment
to enhancing cardiac services in
our community.”

Nicole Johnson to Speak at Women’s Cancer Awareness Event
Look at a painting or listen to a song and
it’s easy to understand how art enhances
life. But come this October, the arts will
save lives at Emanuel Medical Center’s
13th annual Women’s Cancer
Awareness Event.
Presented by Emanuel Regional Cancer
Services, the awareness-raising event on
October 12 is themed “The Art of Life” and
will be an evening that celebrates the arts
in all their forms – visual, vocal, dance
and drama.
“It is going to be a wonderful event, and
we’re thrilled to have bestselling author,
performer and motivational speaker Nicole
Johnson as our headliner,” said Pennie
Rorex, Emanuel’s assistant vice president of
corporate communication and marketing.
“Nicole is best known for her debut
book, ‘Fresh Brewed Life,’ but is also an
incredible sketch writer and performer.”
Johnson, a sought-after speaker at
Women of Faith events nationwide, will be
performing “Stepping into the Ring,” her
vignette about a woman battling breast
cancer, and giving a motivational speech.
“It’s a very moving performance,”
Rorex said.
Joining Johnson at The Art of Life event will
be dancer Melissa Sandvig, a Southern
California ballerina best known for her
appearance on the TV dance competition
“So You Think You Can Dance.” She’ll be
performing a Tyce Diorio-choreographed
dance about a woman with breast cancer
that brought the judges on the show to
tears. Sandvig performed the dance on
the show with contemporary dancer Ade
Obayomi, but her partner for this event
had not been confirmed at press time.
The evening will also feature the alwaysmoving
cancer survivor’s march – this

Nicole Johnson will perform “Stepping into the
Ring” on October 12
year accompanied by a live choir – and
a poster contest focused on raising
awareness of breast, gynecological and
ovarian cancer within our community. The
entries will be featured at the event and
the winner will be announced that evening.
The winning piece will then be used as
part of the hospital’s future Women’s
Cancer Awareness marketing campaign.
“It’s going to be a fantastic night of
creating awareness and using art to save
lives,” Rorex said.
The event will be held at
Monte Vista Chapel at 1619 E. Monte
Vista Ave. beginning with hosted hors
d’oeuvres at 6 p.m. The auditorium will
open at 6:45 p.m., with the performance
events beginning at 7:15 p.m.

SUMMER 2010
Skilled Surgical Team Joins Emanuel Physician Center
Drs. Paul Carmichael and
Katherine Barton, husband-and-wife
surgeons who founded Oasis Surgical
in Turlock in 2004, have joined the
Emanuel Physician Center.
The merger brings new skills and
perspectives to the family-practice-oriented
Physician Center, and allows Drs. Barton
and Carmichael to spend more time being
doctors instead of doing payroll and
insurance paperwork.
“We’re here to serve the community
just like before. Any physician can
send patients to us.”
- Dr. Katherine Barton
“The business of medicine has become
extremely complex, with the insurance
industry and increased regulation and
oversight,” Dr. Carmichael explained. “It’s
gotten to the point that for a small specialty
practice you just can’t do it alone.”
Upcoming Events

Surgeons Dr. Paul Carmichael and Dr. Katherine Barton
of Oasis Surgical have joined the Emanuel Physician
Center on Colorado Avenue.
The time required to run the business
itself either cut into time available to see
patients, or into family time – or usually
both. And with 4-year-old and 3-year-old
daughters at home, the couple decided
being great doctors and parents was more
important than being business owners.
Joining with the Emanuel Physician Center
made sense to everyone.
“We have shared goals and a shared
vision,” said Dr. Carmichael, who is

Emanuel’s Medical Chief of Staff. “There’s
strong alignment with the hospital.”
Dr. David Canton, who is the vice
president of medical affairs for
Emanuel and runs the Physician
Centers, said the addition of the
surgeons benefits everyone –
including patients.
“This was an opportunity to make
two great entities into something
even better,” he said. “Their skills
and experience and the different
perspectives they bring really adds to
patient care.”
Drs. Barton and Carmichael moved
into the Physician Center office at 2121
Colorado Avenue, but will continue to
serve all patients who need surgery, not
just Physician Center patients.
“We’re here to serve the community
just like before,” Dr. Barton said. “Any
physician can send patients to us.”

Diabetes Education at Emanuel Honored by
American Diabetes Association
Emanuel Medical
Center’s diabetes
self-management
education
program has been
awarded the
American Diabetes
Association’s
Education
Recognition
Certificate for its
comprehensiveness
and quality.
The American
Diabetes Association
awards the certificate
to education
programs that
meet the National
Standards for
Diabetes Self-Management Education
Programs. These standards were
developed by the National Diabetes
Advisory Board in 1983 and were revised
by the diabetes community in 1994
and 2000.
Programs like Emanuel’s that are
awarded the certificate have a staff of
knowledgeable health professionals and
provide participants with comprehensive
information about diabetes management.
“The process gives professionals a national
standard by which to measure the quality
of services they provide,” explained
Matthew Haskett, education department
director at Emanuel. “And it assures the
patient that he or she will receive highquality
service.”
Emanuel’s team of educators offers
instruction in a variety of diabetes-related
topics, including self-management of
diabetes, nutrition, issues for the newly
Diabetes educator Pam Noonan consults with patient Cindy Mutoza.
diagnosed diabetic and ways to lead
a healthy lifestyle. Emanuel is a leading
provider of diabetes education and training
in the Central Valley, and is current on the
latest research available to help patients
manage their diabetes and lead
healthy lives.
“It assures the patient that he or she
will receive high-quality service.”
– Matthew Haskett
Part of the recognition is monitoring
patients and updating the curriculum
based on that patient data, explained Pam
Noonan, a diabetes educator at Emanuel.
“For instance, if during follow-up we find
that patients aren’t looking at their feet
– because it’s important for people with
diabetes to examine their feet to prevent
complications – we’ll change the curriculum
to emphasize that,”
she said.
Emanuel’s course
for newlydiagnosed
diabetics, “Living
with Diabetes,”
is scheduled
throughout the
year. Call
209-664-2583
for more
information.
Enrollment in the
course requires a
doctor’s referral.
According to the
American Diabetes
Association, about
21 million Americans, or 7 percent of
the population, have diabetes and about
one-third of those are not aware that they
have the disease. Each day approximately
4,110 people are diagnosed with
diabetes, and many learn they have
diabetes when they are treated for one
of its life-threatening complications – heart
disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness,
nerve disease or amputation.
To schedule an appointment with Pam
Noonan call 209-664-2584.
