provided more than $169 million
in community benefit in 2011 to the
communities it serves.
“We consider it a blessing to be
able to support all of our communities,” said Stephen C. Reynolds,
president and CEO of Baptist.
“Providing community benefit is
one of the most important ways we
fulfill our mission, mirroring the
three-fold ministry of Christ—
healing, preaching and teaching.”

neurosurgeon Dr. Clarence Watridge.
For Natalie Gish, a respiratory therapist at Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto,
naming her 10-month-old son Watridge Tate Gish after her neurosurgeon paid
homage and was just a small thank you for what he meant in the life of her family,
medically and spiritually.
Baptist is celebrating its centennial anniversary this year by
partnering with various organizations, including the Christian
Mobile Dental Clinic with Bellevue
Baptist Church and Christ
Community Health Services.
Clarence Watridge, M.D., a neurosurgeon at Semmes Murphey Neurologic and
Spine Institue, says Gish’s success story is about divine intervention and not so
much about modern medicine or anything he did.
“God has a plan for Natalie’s life,” he said. “She is someone who has been

Women diagnosed with breast cancer, undergoing breast cancer treatment or
recovering from breast cancer are invited to attend.
Research shows that women who participate in a support group following a
breast cancer diagnosis report better quality of life and have improved
outcomes.
On Tuesday, Aug. 14, Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women will host
a free seminar in classrooms A, B, and C titled “Let’s Talk Teal,” with
Carol Rodman, an ovarian cancer survivor and president of the
Ovarian Cancer Awareness Foundation. Rodman will discuss potentially life-saving information about this type of cancer. The symptoms
of ovarian cancer are often vague, sometimes resulting in a delayed
diagnosis, which makes treatment more difficult. In addition to sharing
her personal story, she will talk about ovarian cancer facts, symptoms,
and testing and treatment options. Also, Rodman will show attendees
the PBS documentary “The Whisper – The Silent Crisis of Ovarian
Cancer.”
Older Americans account for
nearly 13 percent of the population, more than one-third of all
hospital admissions, and approximately one-half of all hospital
charges.
In the next 40 years, the
proportion of older people is
expected to double. When older
people are admitted to a hospital,
the acute problems that brought
them there usually get better, but
there is often a functional decline
associated with the hospital stay,
such as disorientation and lack of
mobility.
To meet the challenges of our
aging population, Baptist Memorial
Hospital-DeSoto has developed an
Acute Care for Elders unit, a geriatric-specific model of care for
older patients that require hospitalization.
The ACE unit is a physical space
within the hospital and features a
geriatric-friendly environment
that is focused on safety, management of geriatric syndromes and
prevention of the loss of physical
and mental abilities.
The unit enables older hospitalized adults to recover in an
environment prepared with their
special needs in mind. The focus of
the unit is to maintain physical and
cognitive function.
A question and answer period will follow the seminar.
If you would like to submit any questions prior to the seminar, please
send them by email to [email protected] or mail them to
Patterson Library, Attn: Gayle, Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women,
6225 Humphreys Blvd., Memphis, TN, 38120.
Please call 901-227-8478 or 800-4-BAPTIST for reservations between
9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen.
“One of the ways we're helping
elderly patients is by partnering
with Mid-South Therapy Dogs &
Friends who provides animalassisted activities and therapy to
our patients,” said Cindy Evans,
director of Nursing for the ACE
unit. “We've already seen a very
positive response from patients
who otherwise aren't responding
well to care.”
“One of the ways
we're helping elderly
patients is by partnering with Mid-South
Therapy Dogs &
Friends who provides
animal-assisted activities and therapy to our
patients,”
Cynthia Evans, director of nursing
for the ACE unit.
The ACE team includes an
advanced practical nurse, a social
worker, a nutritionist, an occupational therapist, a pharmacist and a
medical doctor collaborating to
create an individualized care plan
to improve patients’ mobility,
reduce depression and maximize
overall satisfaction.
All members bring their
expertise in working with older
adults to the team and continue to
receive special training. The team
meets daily to review and plan care
for all patients, including nursing
care and rehabilitation. Their
efforts help patients make smooth
transitions from hospital to home
life.
Caregivers involve the patient’s
family members early in the
process, helping them anticipate
social needs, and offering solutions to problems they may
foresee.
The ACE model has been proven
to increase patient and staff satisfaction, and most importantly,
affect the older adult’s quality of
life in a positive manner through
its coordinated, holistic approach.
The success of the ACE program
is based on the expertise of the
interdisciplinary care giving team.

Gish
Continued from page 1
More than six years ago on Valentine’s Day 2006, Gish’s doctors found an ependymoma tumor, a rare type of tumor on her cervical spinal cord. Two days later she was
having surgery to remove the tumor.
U.S. News & World Report magazine released a report ranking
Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis among the top hospitals in the
Memphis metro area.
Ependymomas represents 3 to 6 percent of all central nervous system tumors and
can occur in both children and adults. About 85 percent of ependymomas are benign
myxopapillary ependymoma, which is a localized and slowly growing, low-grade tumor
and can be treated with radiation therapy or total surgical removal.
To be included in the metro area report, a hospital had to score in
the top 25 percent among its peers in at least one medical specialty,
and Baptist Memphis was named “high performing” in two specialties,
cancer and cardiology/heart surgery.
“We are delighted that U.S. News & World Report recognizes the
positive outcomes at Baptist Memphis,” said Derick Ziegler, administrator and CEO at Baptist Memphis. “This recognition comes on the
heels of our 16th consecutive Consumer Choice Award as Memphis’
Most Preferred Hospital for Overall Quality and Image. The awards
validate the high standards to which we hold ourselves to provide the
best patient and family-centered care possible.”
“Her tumor was unusual because it looked like a tumor but it didn’t light up as
cancerous so we knew we had to go in and explore it. We decided to remove the
ependymoma and have her follow up with radiation,” said Watridge.
In 2006, Gish endured two surgeries, several spinal taps to evaluate her spinal fluid
and lots of time in radiation. Throughout the process she became engaged and later
married to her boyfriend of five years, and he became saved and gave his life to Christ.
He was inspired by her faith and perseverance and Watridge’s ability to connect Christ
and medicine.
“He always prayed with us and one of his favorite sayings was ‘don’t thank me,
thank the man upstairs, I’m just working for him’,” she said.
The hospital rankings, said U.S. News Health Rankings Editor Avery
Comarow, are like a GPS-type aid to help steer patients to hospitals
with strong skills in the procedures and medical conditions that
present the biggest challenges.
“I do my best to let them know that my faith is not in my own ability but the Lord’s.
We have a lot of conversations about that, and we prayed together and through that
process she was a believer and her husband saw that. After that he became inquisitive.
It wasn’t me, it was God’s hand and thats’s the way God planned it,” said Watridge.
“All of these hospitals are the kinds of medical centers that should
be on your list when you need the best care,” said Comarow. “They are
where other hospitals send the toughest cases.”
After her first surgery, Gish had another scare with the possibility of the tumor
moving to her brain.
“In October of that year we were planning the wedding, and I had to go get another

MRI. We found out the tumor came back, and I traveled to Birmingham, Ala., to a
neurosurgery clinic where they had a new form of chemotherapy funded by the
American Cancer Society that dealt with all types of tumors.

Colleague’s Corner: The eternal list of
what ifs
What’s holding you back? We all have plans, aspirations and goals. Do
you ever feel you are treading through life with weights wrapped around
your ankles keeping you from reaching the goals of triumph you have set
for yourself?
God wants each and every one of us to be successful. Pray that God will
provide you with the desires of your heart so that your desires are the
same as His. With this prayer you make a statement of trust that He is
guiding your path toward success. Success is measured in different ways.
That measurement is dependent on how you define success. If you
measure success by your standards instead of the principles set by God,
true victory is never accomplished. Your goals must match up with His.
There are times when we are derailed from our dreams by doubt and
fear. The eternal list of what ifs stops us from moving forward. “What if
things don’t work out? What if others don’t approve? What if something
bad happens? What if the earth spins off its axis?” These types of questions are endless and do not come from God. And sometimes we can
come up with the most ridiculous what ifs just because we fear failure.
When you are moving in the direction God wants you to go the forces of
darkness want to stop you, and doubt is powerful weaponry.
Leadership 100 development classes give nurse
managers new vision
Nurse managers across the Baptist system recently completed their first year in
leadership development classes called Leadership 100 New Nurse Manager
Learning Sessions. The program began in September 2011, and participants attended four quarters of learning sessions as part of their new nurse manager orientation. To celebrate, the nurse managers are wearing a pair of 100 eyeglasses to symbolize their new vision after completing the Leadership 100 classes.
So instead of asking yourself, “What if I fail?” ask yourself “What if I
succeed?” Dreams do come true, but only if you truly believe in them.

They did a another spinal tap and the tumor board reviewed my case.
They decided I should wait until after I got married because they
thought the tumor moved to my brain. Once the MRI came back, they

“We have been very blessed that she did well. Her own personality
and motivation was the reason because of her ability to participate in
rehab and listen to counsel, it has a whole lot more to do with her than
it does with us,” said Watridge.
In 2008, Gish continued to improve and knew she wanted to have
children. She knew she would name her child after Dr. Watridge
because of everything he did for her.
Baptist Union County Receives 2012 Relay for Life
Awards
The Baptist Union County Relay for Life team recently celebrated a successful
fundraising season at the BNA Park Sportsplex along with other county teams, cancer survivors, and friends/families of those who have lost their battle with cancer.
Baptist Union County’s goal was to raise $10,000. Colleagues exceeded it and raised
a total of $11,340.
“The first time I became pregnant I had a miscarriage, and I nicknamed my child Jethrow because that was Dr. Watridge’s nickname. I
would go to see Dr. Watridge for a checkup, and he comforted me after
my miscarriage and let us know it would happen at the right time,” she
said.
Ten months ago, Gish gave birth to a healthy baby boy. He goes by
Tate, and by looking at her face and their interaction, you know he is
her pride and joy. She is thankful for where this experience has taken
her and knows it has made her a better person in every aspect of her
life.
“The way I like to practice medicine, I feel a calling to do what I do. I
feel like it’s my ministry and I feel like it’s important to me to relay to
patients what my base is. The things that come our way are not always
necessarily what we want but a reliance on our God and our savior is
much more important.”
