We’re not just any hospital. We’re your hospital.
Marietta Memorial Hospital is committed to
being the first place you choose to receive care,
and the first place in our area people want to
work. How do we achieve this?
We focus our efforts in six fundamental areas.
People, Service, Growth, Stewardship, Quality,
and Community Benefit.

What it Takes— a message from the CEO.
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
It is gratifying to look back on the past year with a sense of accomplishment on the part of dedicated people
who make the Memorial Health System such a valuable resource to our community. We exist to serve you, and we
do it within the framework of one of the most rewarding careers imaginable.
Contemporary health care is a complex balance of medical training and critical supporting skills, new technology,
bricks and mortar, creative administrative management and effective community outreach, all for the benefit of you and
your family. Today, we are enjoying the benefits of long-range planning and careful capital management established
months and years ago, planning that has permitted us to expand clinical services in areas such as cardiovascular,
orthopedic and neurological medicine, as well as rehabilitation and wellness.
We are keeping quality health care close to home where it belongs. As we respond to the changing landscape of
community health care nationwide, we look to our Boards of Trustees to help us remain good stewards of our resources.
Together with our medical staff and employees, we work hard to earn and keep your trust and to reinforce your
confidence in us, a blessing that has sustained the Memorial Health System for many generations.
What we do takes teamwork. We are always busy, we are always under construction, always building partnerships
and alliances, and always moving forward with measured and complementary investments in tools, technologies,
training and talent. And because the best health care is delivered one-on-one, we continue to place a priority
on empowering our employees to be the best they can be in service to you.
Thank you for what you have done to make the Memorial Health System a great health care provider and a
significant regional economic asset. Thank you for your continued support. In our business, that’s what it takes.
Sincerely,
Larry Unroe, CEO

Our Values
In our constant pursuit of
service excellence, we are guided in
our daily decisions and tasks by
the following:
• Providing a safe, comfortable
atmosphere for patients and
staff members.
• Creating a positive experience.
• Providing friendly, personalized

of volunteers for everything from
governance to baking pies for
the spring bazaar. We work with
architects and vendors to ensure
our buildings and equipment
meet the challenges of rapidly
changing technology.
The Marietta Memorial Health
Foundation provides opportunities
for yet another essential group
of partners – those who make
charitable donations to improve
health care and quality of life in
the mid-Ohio Valley.

Our donors may support a specific service
because it has special
meaning to their families.
Or they may be people
of vision who know that,
without good health,
quality of life can be
seriously impaired. Our
donors may be new
to the area or members
of families here for
generations.
All of our donors realize
that Marietta Memorial
touches more local
families than any charity in our area. They are
proud to partner with
MMH as we create new
services and expand
existing ones, maintain
our physical plant and
provide care to less
fortunate neighbors.
This annual report
is dedicated to our
donors – the partners
without whom the work
of Marietta Memorial
would not be possible.
Thank you!
Boards of Directors
As a community owned,
not-for-profit hospital,
we are governed by
several Boards of
Directors who play a
critical role in the growth
of the hospital and its
services. Appointed
board members give their
time generously without
compensation to
ensure better health
care is available in our
community.

People. Every Marietta Memorial Hospital experience is a one-to-one relationship.
This is where one of our greatest strengths – our people - comes into play.
They are the ones who heal you, who support you and your family, who share
the moments of bringing new life into the world, or who share your loss.
We view our relationship with you and your family as our greatest responsibility,
which is why we invest a great deal of our energy in attracting and retaining
the best people we can find.
Hiring great people means investing time and money each year in salaries,
benefits and training. At Marietta Memorial, we work to create a culture where
employees not only feel supported, they are supported and empowered to
do what’s necessary to provide outstanding care, one-to-one.

This past year our employees
attended many professional conferences, participated in ongoing clinical
medical education programs, received
new and updated certifications,
and looked to our staff development
professionals for on-site support.
Overall, we invested over $94,000
in training and education alone.
Rewarding, recognizing and
celebrating employees for good work
has always been important to us. In
the last year, employee recognition
has become a greater focus of core
management responsibilities. In
addition, this year we implemented
a wide variety of internal service
initiatives such as frequent rounding
by senior staff, personal thank you
notes to individual employees, service
trophies and merchandise certificates,
all to celebrate staff accomplishments.
Teamwork and camaraderie are
another important component of
our culture. Several times this year
our employees joined together for ice
cream socials, community volunteer
opportunities, seasonal festivals and
wellness activities. We held our
annual service banquet to honor
the time and commitment of longterm employees.
As services grow and health care
changes, recruitment continues to be
a top priority. To help ensure an
adequate supply of skilled professionals, we work with area universities
and community colleges, providing
clinical rotations for students
studying to be doctors, nurses and
allied health professionals such as
radiology and imaging. This year we
hosted 17 medical students and 46
nursing students. We continued to
offer job shadowing opportunities to
high school and college students, and
summer internship programs.

We are committed to

that what we do as

completely measured
through conventional

We listen. Feedback is critical to
how we make decisions. Thus, we
constantly query, survey, evaluate
and act on what we learn from our
patients, our employees, vendors,
alliance partners and community
advocates.
We look to health care industry
professionals to assist us in the best
processes for using what we learn
from the questions we ask.

We have multidisciplinary
teams dedicated to the ongoing
enhancement of the patient
experience and the healing environment we create for patients and families. Implementing new processes
and services that make a patient’s
visit as comfortable as possible is
the core of their work.
More than 60 department
managers, inside and outside the
hospital, who meet quarterly to
share information and ideas.
Throughout the hospital – in fact,
throughout the entire Marietta
Memorial Health System – we work
in teams. Teamwork pays off in
better employee morale, more
efficient acquisition of ideas and
suggestions for improvement, and
better continuity of service to our
patients. And from our teams, our
next generation of leaders learn the
skills necessary to drive success.
Growth
When it comes to
health care, you have
choices. When you
choose MMH or any part
of the Memorial Health
System, your choice
reaffirms our investments
in the tools, technologies
and people it takes
to help you.
Examples of our continued
improvements leading to better
service and more efficient delivery
of services are pervasive throughout
our system. Here are just a few:
• Our Electronic Health Record
(EHR) investment has grown
in support of an expanded
network deployed throughout
Washington County, Ohio.
EHR helps us improve workflows, streamline administrative
services, enhance the safety
of clinical functions and
minimize costs.
• Expansions to the Strecker
Cancer Center reflect a growing
trend that keeps our patients and
their families close to home and
as comfortable as possible during
treatment and follow-up.
• Our Orthopedic Clinic provides
timely access to orthopedic
specialists for those patients
needing care, reducing the
need to utilize the emergency
department for total care.
• Since our last report we have
invested more than 10 million
dollars in capital equipment.
• Our Rehabilitation Center’s
Patient Advisory Board meets
quarterly to review services and
to discuss ways to improve both
outpatient and inpatient
experiences in that care area.
• During this time, Marietta
Memorial Hospital became
the first in the mid-Ohio Valley
and second hospital in the state
of Ohio to achieve Stroke
Specialty Program status, a
three-year accreditation from
the Rehabilitation Accrediting
Body, CARF (Commission on
Accreditation of Rehabilitation
Facilities).
• We established a unique patient
advocate program with the
assignment of a dedicated Breast
Health Navigator. The Navigator
manages a streamlined process
that personally follows a patient
from mammogram to diagnosis
quickly and efficiently. This
service offers information,
education and support to the
patient and her family, and
includes a personalized care plan
for anyone presenting with an
abnormal mammogram or newly
diagnosed breast cancer. It also
establishes a model that can be
expanded to other hospital
service areas.
• Significant improvements in
surgery administration based
on the Health Enterprise
Navigator System, or NaviCare®,
offer a new level of customer
service to our patients and their
families. NaviCare is a dynamic
workflow and communications
system that delivers real-time
information on surgery status for
every patient much like an airport
flight schedule monitor advises
status of air traffic. Now deployed
in our surgical suites and waiting
rooms, NaviCare permits families
to minimize anxiety by tracking patient progress from pre-op,
through surgery and recovery
through a coded “flight number”.
Likewise, it streamlines the work
for our employees to ensure a
more efficient delivery of care.

Stewardship
Our donors provide a
vital source of funding for
capital improvements,
technological
advancements and
program enhancements
that strengthen the care
we deliver to you and
your family.
Stewardship of our limited
resources is one of the fundamentals
that truly define our organization,
and a critical component in our
effort to maintain the confidence
of our community and to increase
capacity and services. We take
seriously our commitment to
responsible fiscal management.
Health care remains a strong and
ever-increasing component in the
total economic equation, including
our local area. Net income has risen
with the growth of our region. Our
strong financial position has allowed
us to expand facilities and services.
Our financial performance is
strong and always improving. Astute
financial management is essential
to our continued ability to borrow
money and provide employees and
physicians the tools and equipment
necessary to do their jobs.
And the community can expect
continued stewardship of our scarce
health care resources.

Quality. Improved Patient Safety – How We Compare.
Marietta Memorial Hospital is committed to providing the best possible
patient care. That’s why our entire health care team is always working to
deliver the highest quality standards. We call it Making the Quality Grade.

For the past several years,
MMH has worked with the Institute
for Health Care Improvement on its
landmark 100,000 Lives Campaign.
Through this initiative, hospitals
throughout America have dramatically improved care for patients at
the greatest risk for infection,
complications and adverse outcomes.
Our hospital has implemented the
following proven interventions from
that campaign.
• We deploy rapid response teams at
the first sign of patient condition
decline.
• We deliver evidence-based care
for acute myocardial infarction to
prevent deaths from heart attack.
• We reconcile medications to
prevent adverse drug events.
• We implemented a series of
scientifically-based protocols to
prevent central line infections and
ventilator-associated pneumonia.
• We deliver antibiotics at the
proper time to prevent surgical
site infections.
The entire 100,000 Lives
Campaign warrants additional
examination in this report.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia
(VAP) is a nosocomial lung infection
that occurs in patients receiving
mechanical ventilation, and for
whom the infection was not the reason for ventilation. The Institute has
identified protocols to help prevent
infections, and these processes were
implemented at Marietta Memorial
Hospital in 2006. The results have
been outstanding.

Differences You Can See
We continue to make
great strides toward
achieving our goals.
Here are a few examples
of where and how our
teamwork is making a
difference.
Performance Improvement
Teams meet regularly throughout
the hospital to evaluate processes
and implement patient safety
initiatives. The Quality Council
is a committee of the Board of
Directors. It is charged with
understanding and improving the
quality of care delivered and is
focused on the development of
benchmarking and “best practice”
initiatives. Currently, the Quality
Council tracks clinical and service
quality measures in several areas.
2007
We implemented a Red Blanket/
Red Socks system to identify patients
at risk for falling while they are in
the hospital. A red blanket and red
socks let both our staff and the
families know we want the patient
to have assistance any time they need
to get up or move around. Education
is provided to families during
this process.
We implemented a new method
for transporting patients in the
hospital which provided timelier
response to requests and increases
patient satisfaction.
Label printers have been
installed in each exam room in the
Outpatient Center so lab specimens
can be labeled in the presence of the
patient, reducing the opportunity for
mislabeling errors.
We implemented a new system
for transferring patient information
from caregivers. The SBAR system
stands for Situation, Background,
Assessment and Recommendation.
SBAR is a standardized way of
communicating with other health
care givers. It promotes patient safety
because it helps physicians and nurses
communicate with each other. Staff
and physicians can use SBAR to
share what information is important
about a patient. It improves efficiency
because this standardized form of
communication helps caregivers
speak about patients in a concise and
complete way.

Community Benefit. We’ve invested in things we all hold close to our heart.
Of course as a hospital we’re always here to take care of you during an
emergency or illness, but as a community hospital, we believe in doing much
more. For us, our community is important, too. We invested in things we all
hold close to our heart – our health, our community and our well-being.

We use our resources to invest
in buildings, equipment, programs,
ideas and most of all, in people. This
year, we also invested over $1 million
in programs and services that benefit
our community.
Programs included free or low
cost health screenings i.e. free heart
and stroke screenings, educational
classes i.e. diabetes management or
nutrition and health or proper hand
washing techniques; collaborating
with American Cancer Society on
Relay for Life, providing free health
care support at youth camps, through
educating future health care providers
– nurses, docs and more.
That’s what makes us a charitable,
not-for-profit hospital. The return
on our investments – seeing people
living healthy lives – is priceless.
Our 1,200 employees who live
in the communities we serve, also
contribute to our local economy.
We support local businesses
by living, shopping, dining and
spending entertainment dollars
throughout the mid-Ohio Valley.
Our hospital continues to be a vital
community asset. Our hospital
infuses the economy of our community in many ways. Last year we
spent over $8.4 million in charity
care. In the past six years construction projects completed by the
hospital brought over $40 million
to our economy. In addition, the
salaries we pay our staff that are
reinvested into our community
through taxes and personal spending;
the estimated ripple effect is well
over $116 million annually.

Why are Charitable Gifts
Needed?
Patient Programs & Services:
Some contributions are used by
MMH to purchase items not
covered through operating income.
This is particularly true of missionbased programs such as Hospice,
Diabetes Education and Outreach.
Care for the Poor: MMH
affirms every person’s right to basic
health care. We have neighbors
who, through no fault of their own,
are unable to afford the care they
need. We help those who cannot
help themselves. This year, Marietta
Memorial will provide $9.4 million
in charity care.
Start-Up Costs for New
Programs: As the mission of our
hospital expands, community needs
are identified. MMH is the leader in
providing new health care services
and education in our region.
New and Replacement
Equipment and Facilities:
Balancing community needs
with the cost of technology is a
continuing challenge. New services
enable local residents to access care
without traveling long distances
to other medical centers. Updating
the tools our doctors and staff
needto do their work is expensive.
Donations help make improvements
in every department.
Health and Wellness Programs:
Staying healthy reduces incidence
and cost of serious illness. We
provide education about healthy
lifestyles, MMH services and
the self-management of chronic
diseases. Wellness programs are
usually unreimbursed. Our ability
to provide outreach education
depends on charitable donations.
Your Gifts at Work
Contributions from
generous donors enable
Marietta Memorial to
offer compassionate,
high-quality care and
education close to
home. Every dollar is
used locally.
The following projects
and services received
Marietta Memorial Health
Foundation grants from
October 2006 through
September 2007:

Strecker Cancer Center: A
two-year effort has enabled the
Foundation to provide $1.5 million
toward the purchase of new radiation
therapy equipment. Expansion of
space and services at Strecker Cancer
Center has begun and will be complete in 2008. Many Strecker gifts
are received in memory of loved
ones or in recognition of staff.
Contributions provide treatments,
equipment, education and support
groups for hundreds of cancer
patients. A donor favorite is the
Strecker Patient Emergency Fund,
assisting indigent patients.
Hospice & Palliative Care:
Marietta Memorial’s team of
doctors, nurses, aides, counselors,
clergy, therapists and volunteers
provide this home-based service,
enabling terminally ill patients and
their families to face life’s end with
dignity, control and comfort.
Memorial gifts, special events and
the Guardian Angel Fund provide
hospice financial support. In the
17 years since Marietta Memorial
Hospital Hospice began, donors have
given more than $1 million to help
hospice patients.
Nursing: Donated dollars
purchase supplies, equipment and
direct services in Marietta Memorial
Hospital nursing units. Memorial
and recognition contributions honor
outstanding nurses for expertise
and compassion.
Charity Care: Marietta Memorial
Hospital affirms every person’s right
to basic health care. This year, we will
provide $9.4 million in services to
disadvantaged area residents unable
to afford the care they need.
Outreach/55Plus: A wide range of
community education services
2007
promotes healthy lifestyles and
helps detect illness early for effective
treatment. Thousands of people
benefit from free or low-cost
screenings, support groups, classes,
libraries, mailings, counseling and
conferences. Donations support
everything from stroke screenings
to printed materials.
With an audience of 12,000,
55 Plus remains the largest regional
health education program dedicated
to seniors. A single donor once
again made possible the inspiring
“Celebration of Age” conference
dedicated to the physical, emotional
and spiritual needs of seniors.
Pediatric Services: Our youngest
patients received testing, therapy
and equipment through the Jim
Christy Endowment Fund for Kids.
Additional Foundation grants
purchased equipment, toys and
clothing for pediatric patients and
Resolve Through Sharing services.
Prescription Medication
Assistance: Donations funded an
MMH Social Services program
to help at-risk, needy patients
obtain medical supplies at hospital
discharge. Recipients include elderly
patients on fi xed incomes and those
with acute medical needs related to
cancer, pain and infection.
Glenwood: Contributions were
donor-designated for equipment and
resident services at Marietta’s most
versatile retirement community. Designated gifts funded the Glenwood
Endowment Fund, furnishings,
landscaping and equipment.
Washington County Association
for Retarded Citizens: A grant
funded scholarships and services for
participants at a special children’s
summer camp.

Each of us occasionally
looks for a way to honor
the people we value
most. A remembrance
gift is a meaningful way
to remember a special
person. Contributions
are most often made
in memory or to
celebrate a new baby,
anniversary, graduation
or other occasion. The
remembrance gift is a
fitting tribute that makes
the future bright for
others.
Life is Precious. We encourage giving to support it for a lifetime.
Every donor has assisted Marietta Memorial Hospital to provide life-saving
care, life-changing care, and/or education and support to our community.
Advances in medicine and technology will continue to offer unprecedented
opportunities to save lives, cure disease, and ease suffering. The Marietta
Memorial Health Foundation donors provide the resources necessary to add
to our margins of excellence.
As we continue to face the challenges health care brings in regard to
reimbursement and the cost of technology and pharmaceuticals, we encourage you to join us in showing what generous giving can do for someone in
their time of need in a medical crisis. Foundation staff are available to assist
you in learning more about making a tremendous difference – for a lifetime.

Foundation employees or

• To feel free to ask questions and to

Permanent Endowment
Foundation endowment funds
are a health care resource that have
strengthened over generations and
hold great potential for good works
and influence. We encourage donors
to include deferred or planned gifts
in their estate planning. Endowment
gifts provide income, in perpetuity, to
improve health care for local families.
Gifts to the permanent
endowment are invested under
the stewardship of the Memorial
Health System finance committee.
Each year, a portion of fund growth
and income provides health services
to Marietta Memorial’s patients,
families and friends.
Unrestricted Endowment Fund:
Proceeds are directed by Foundation
trustees to areas of greatest need.
Restricted Endowment Funds: A
$25,000 gift can establish a named
fund supporting the pre-approved
service of the donor’s choice, with
additional contributions welcome.
Current restricted funds are:
• Strecker Cancer Fund –
Established in memory of Trustee
Emeritus Hayward Strecker,
the fund generates income to
benefit patients of the Strecker
Cancer Center.
