ear Community Members,
You’ve undoubtedly heard me say how
excited and blessed I am to work shoulder-toshoulder with our employees and medical staff, as
we try our very best to improve our patients’ and
families’ quality of life, one patient at a time.
My staff and I feel extremely confident
about our ability to serve you, as is reflected by
our latest Joint Commission quality rating (see
article below), now hovering above 95 percent
out of 100 percent. This means we have met
more than 95 percent of nearly 600 best
practice requirements for the last 12 years,
according to the most credible healthcare
auditor in our business. This achievement
happened solely because everyone who works
and practices here wants every member of our
Northwest Connecticut community to have no
doubt in our ability to care for you in
Torrington, better than you might be cared for
elsewhere, for those services which we offer.
Very recently, I was faced with a decision
about where I should undergo major surgery,
something that was unexpected and very
important to deal with,
for the sake of my
family and my quality
of life, and the lives of
others who to some
measure depend on
me. In making this
decision, I found myself
feeling incredibly
positive about placing

The Accountability Composite Rate is the degree to
which a hospital performs in several clinical areas
including surgery, heart failure, outpatient care, heart
attack care, and pneumonia. One hundred percent
represents maximum performance. This rate is a reflection
of Charlotte Hungerford’s performance on 53 individual
measures and over 10,000 data points.
The rate is compiled as part of the Joint Commission’s
ORYX National Hospital Quality Measures Initiative and
integrates outcomes and other performance data into
the hospital accreditation process to support them in
their quality improvement efforts.

I know this sounds a bit “over-the-top,” but
I realized at that decisive moment, that my
staff had accomplished such terrific things
over time that I was actually looking forward
to having my own hospital family get me
through this major surgical event.
As you might guess, I was not able to
play “undercover boss,” chiefly because our
employees and medical staff have over time
developed personal and professional
interrelationships that now define us as a
family of heartful and knowledgeable
caregivers. As it turned out, my surgery and
recovery went extremely well!
Looking back at my inpatient experience,
I can only feel a debt of gratitude to our
employees, physicians and board members
who together have created a truly enviable
environment in which patients can be accurately diagnosed and can begin their healing
process, in a place filled with love and talent.
I have been leading hospital organizations
for over 33 years. During that time, my connection with the CHH family has been the
most unique and outstanding experience,
wherein a group of dedicated people have
made an unwavering commitment to work
successfully with one another in “bringing
hope and comfort to our ill and injured”!
I salute and thank our employees, medical
staff, board, volunteers, auxilians and corporators
for setting the “patient safety” bar high and for
being willing always to work together for this
most noble cause.
Respectfully,
Daniel J. McIntyre
President and Executive Director
CHH AWARDED 3-YEAR ACCREDITATION FROM THE JOINT COMMISSION
For the 12th consecutive year, Charlotte
Hungerford Hospital (CHH) has once again
earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of
Approval for accreditation by demonstrating
compliance with the Commission’s national

quality and safety in hospitals.

dedication to continuous compliance with 600
Joint Commission’s patient safety standards,

solely by our passion for caring for the ill and
injured and by our duty to be the very best at
what we do. My heartfelt admiration and thanks
to all of our caregivers and support staff for their
relentless efforts to improve the quality of life
for all.”
The Joint Commission’s hospital standards
address important functions relating to the care
of patients and the management of hospitals.
The standards are developed in consultation with
healthcare experts, providers, measurement
experts and patients.
“In achieving Joint Commission accreditation,
Charlotte Hungerford Hospital has demonstrated
its commitment to the highest level of care for its
patients,” said Mark G. Pelletier, R.N., M.S.,
Chief Operating Officer, Division of
Accreditation and Certification Operations,
The Joint Commission. “Accreditation is a
voluntary process, and I commend CHH for
successfully undertaking this challenge to
elevate its standard of care and instill confidence
in the community it serves.”
Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission
seeks to continuously improve healthcare for the
public, in collaboration with other stakeholders,
by evaluating healthcare organizations and
inspiring them to excel in providing safe and
effective care of the highest quality and value.
The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits
more than 20,000 healthcare organizations
and programs in the United States, including
more than 10,600 hospitals and home care
organizations, and more than 6,600 other
healthcare organizations that provide longterm care, behavioral healthcare, laboratory
and ambulatory care services. An independent,
not-for-profit organization, The Joint
Commission is the nation’s oldest and largest
standards-setting and accrediting body in
healthcare. Learn more about The Joint
Commission at www.jointcommission.org.
CHH IS CREATING HEALTHY HABITS IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER
The Community Outreach Team at Charlotte
Hungerford Hospital is dedicated to ensuring that
people young and old residing in northwest
Connecticut make good nutrition and hand hygiene
a healthy habit.
In 2013, CHH created and delivered a series of
presentations and outreach activities at local fairs,
school events, and day care centers designed to
educate and entertain the public and promote
preventative health and active lifestyles.
Addressing the issue of childhood obesity is one
of the top priorities identified by the staff and
caregivers at Charlotte through its community
assessment surveys. Using educational materials,
games and activities from myplate.gov and other
resources on good nutrition, the team promotes its
message by challenging and quizzing children and
adults on what foods are healthy and what choices
should be made when they are dining out or
preparing food at home.
Good hand hygiene is another very important
lesson taught by the team. Children have a chance to
discuss what germs are and how they affect a person’s
health. Pretend germs are viewed under a special
light to show children how they hide and can be

removed using hand sanitizer.
The team has been very pleased with the
response, especially from the youngest participants. Team members agree that the area’s local
schools and day care centers have done a great
job educating kids about the importance of hand
washing. As flu season approaches, the team’s goal
is to increase awareness of how this simple procedure a few times a day can keep flu away from
friends and family.
CHH and over 20 local community
organizations, local non-profits, area agencies and
schools formed a group called “Fit Together” and
adopted a mission “to build the healthiest kids,
families and communities through sustainable
strategies that foster healthy eating and active
living.” The hospital’s recent outreach and public
events have incorporated this mission, and reinforced a united effort among the region’s leaders
and caregivers to build healthier communities.
“An essential component of a successful
community-based system of services is the promotion of health through good nutrition and
physical activity,” said Tim LeBouthillier,
Director of CHH Community Relations and
Development. “We want to do all we can to
make sure our community members start off on
the right foot when it comes to health, nutrition
and exercise.”

“Thanks for all
of your love and

2013 proved to be a very productive year for the
Charlotte Hungerford Hospital Auxiliary. Twenty-three

support and time by raising money through the operation
of the CHH Gift Shop, membership dues, special vendor
sales, the annual fashion show, the Artist of the Month
Program and a holiday season greeting promotion.
The Auxiliary gave its fourth installment of its
$50,000 pledge to the hospital’s information technology
initiative. New chairs were purchased for the hospital
cafeteria and an infant warmer with a resuscitation system
for Maternity Services was also delivered for immediate
use. In addition, the Auxiliary awarded 12 $1,000
scholarships to students entering the medical field. One
of the scholarships honored Dr. Alfred Fabro and another
was given in memory of Dr. Joseph Curi.
The 29th annual fashion show was a huge success
with 180 women in attendance. Fashions were provided
