President and CEO
We kicked off the year in a big way, as we
secured a Level I Adult Trauma designation
followed by a Level II Pediatric Trauma
designation from the state of Illinois for the
HSHS St. John’s Regional Trauma Center.
Thanks to our collaboration with the HSHS
Medical Group, our program offers the area’s
only comprehensive center staffed by HSHS
trauma surgeons. To help train future Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) colleagues needed
for a trauma network, St. John’s Foundation
partnered with Lincoln Land Community
Our Carol Jo Vecchie Women and Children’s
Center embarked on a new era as we formed
an innovative 10-year agreement with SIU
School of Medicine and SIU HealthCare for
physician support to expand regional access
to pediatric and women’s health care services.
This collaboration includes a commitment by
St. John’s to build a medical office building
and parking structure to expand outpatient
services for women and children in one
location across the street.

Based on the results of the 2015 community
needs assessment we partnered with Memorial
Health System, SIU School of Medicine and
the Sangamon County Department of Health
to further the health of our community. This
includes placing a navigator in Enos Park to
improve access to health care services for the
citizens of this neighborhood that is adjacent
to both medical centers.
Our value-based performance soared as we
were recognized by Verras and Healthgrades
for the quality, safety and affordability of
care at St. John’s. We received our seventh
consecutive A for patient safety from the
Leapfrog Group, a feat achieved by only
5 percent of hospitals nationally, and were
the sole recipient of this designation in
Sangamon and the surrounding counties.
In addition, St. John’s College of Nursing
received the Innovations in Professional
Nursing Education Award by the American
Association of Colleges of Nursing.
These accomplishments, and many more,
highlight St. John’s ongoing commitment
to provide access to high-quality, safe and
satisfying medical care for our patients. Our
colleagues, who are committed to the mission
of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis and
aligned by our Franciscan core values of
respect, care, competence and joy, truly
make St. John’s the best place to receive
care, work and practice medicine.
As health care changes, our ministry is
committed to access to high quality, safe
and affordable care in Springfield and the
region for everyone. The mission of the
Hospital Sisters and Catholic health care
has motivated me throughout my career
in medicine. It is an honor to continue that
mission. At St. John’s, we are always ready
to serve you.

problems in a controlled simulation
laboratory environment.
Seven-year-old Taryn was not expected to
survive a ruptured appendix that spread
infection throughout her body. Her mom, Alicia,
recalls asking doctors if she was going to live.
“Taryn was not improving,” Alicia said. “Doctors
had to make the hard decision to do surgery
that would either save her life or take it.”
Taryn survived and is an energetic, happy,
outgoing little girl who loves cheerleading,
gymnastics, hip-hop dancing and animals.
Taryn and her family spend a lot of time sharing
her story and raising money for other kids at
HSHS St. John’s Children’s Hospital.
A state-of-the-art, indoor ambulance simulator that allows emergency medical
services (EMS) students to practice life-saving skills in a realistic environment

our president and CEO, Dr. Lucore, and when
he came to her room she told him, “You have a
beautiful staff.”
And if anyone can recognize true beauty in
people, it is Flo. She credits God for putting love
in her heart for everyone she meets and says if
she can do something to make someone have
a good day she will do that and she hopes they
will then pay it forward. She even practiced this
while she was receiving chemotherapy.
We met Flo Bilbro when she discovered
soon after a stroke that she also had cancer.
A colonoscopy discovered the cancer, but
even this diagnosis did not get her down.
Although she was shocked to hear the news,
she immediately scheduled surgery to remove
the cancer. Following the surgery, she received
several rounds of chemotherapy and met
several people here that she now considers
her extended family.
Flo said the caregivers’ friendliness and
constant smiles were just what she needed

She said even though the nurses and doctors
are here to make the patients well, she wanted
to make her fellow patients happy. She used to
take her chemo pole and visit other patients.
She even challenged some to hallway races!
“I had a ball while I was here,” Flo said.
Being named Patient of the Year is a wonderful
honor for Flo. She understands what it means
to be an inspiration to others because she, too,
is inspired.
The American Heart Association and the American Red
Cross recognized HSHS St. John’s EMS Facilitator Brian
Churchill for helping save a man’s life at the Abraham

ROBOTIC DIDACTIC DAY
HSHS St. John’s Hospital welcomed students from the Latin School of
Chicago to observe Dr. Bradley Schwartz, the director for laparoscopy
and endourology at SIU School of Medicine, for a robotic didactic day.
The day included an educational session on the hospital’s da Vinci®
surgical robot and its use, a hands-on experience for the students and
the observation of a surgical procedure, via video feed, with a physician
present to narrate and answer questions.
CINEMAVISION NOW
AVAILABLE FOR MRI PATIENTS
Cinemavision MRI video technology is available at HSHS St. John’s
Hospital. These innovative goggles, accompanied with MRI safe
headphones, immerse patients in a movie of their choice and
ultimately help children remain calm during the noisy MRI scan.
This allows technicians to obtain better imaging results without
the use of sedation or anesthesia.
Children have the option to view a pre-selected video or bring a
favorite DVD from home to watch. Additionally, the MRI technician
can communicate via a microphone with the child and also project a
video image of himself or herself in the goggles so the child can see
who is talking.
The Cinemavision goggles are also available for adults who may suffer
from claustrophobia during MRI examinations.

HSHS St. John’s Hospital to support its Tele-Heart Pathway program,
which works to improve cardiovascular health in the community.
The Tele-Heart Pathway provides health information and personalized
interventions to fragile and at-risk heart failure patients in their
homes to support self-management, independence and optimal

PRAIRIE OFFERS MITRACLIP AND LOTUS VALVE
Physicians at Prairie Heart Institute (PHI) at
HSHS St. John’s Hospital are the first in central
Illinois to offer patients suffering from mitral
regurgitation (MR) a breakthrough new minimally
invasive treatment option. PHI physicians are
the first in the United States and the seventh in
the world to successfully complete a procedure
to implant a medical device, known as a Lotus™
valve, in a patient with an existing artificial
heart valve.
The MitraClip device was approved for U.S.
patients with severe symptomatic degenerative
MR who are at prohibitive risk for mitral valve
surgery. Degenerative MR is a type of MR
caused by an anatomic defect of the mitral valve

of the heart. Prohibitive risk is determined by
the clinical judgment of a heart team because of
one or more documented surgical risk factors.
The Lotus valve recipient, Robert Sibrel from
Chillicothe, Ill., had been turned down for
referral to two large research hospitals in
Chicago and St. Louis, and advised to seek
hospice care, before PHI physicians sought
special FDA approval to perform a minimally
invasive procedure using the new cardiac device.
Following the procedure Sibrel, who had been
on bed rest, was able to return to a normal life,
including starting a regular exercise routine and
enjoying retirement with his wife.
BIGGEST LOSER STARS

to the school.
NEW HSHS FIND A PROVIDER DIRECTORY GOES LIVE
The HSHS Find a Provider directory, located on St. John’s
website, st-johns.org, allows patients to easily search
and find information about our credentialed providers.
Patients can search by hospital, provider name, practice
name, gender, specialty, keyword, city/state, ZIP, and can
even refine their search to select providers. After
searching they are able to view the provider’s practice
information, hospital affiliation, specialties, education
and certifications. They are also able to locate the
provider’s office on Google maps.
POPE FRANCIS HOUSE BUILT
At the school, a check for $13,000 was presented to St. John’s

GOTTA DANCE AND MOVE
MORE: ACTIVE BODIES LEAD
TO ACTIVE MINDS
HSHS St. John’s Children’s Hospital and the genHkids
Coalition partnered to develop an exciting program with a
healthy message for the elementary schools in Sangamon
County called, “Gotta Dance and Move More.”
Gotta Dance and Move More is a 25-minute dance assembly
designed to fill a standard school period. The program
combines dancing, singing and education to teach students
the importance of nutrition, physical activity, water consumption
and sleep. The lyrics of the songs are centered on physical
activity, nutrition and protecting your body.
After the dance assembly, these songs are used for “Brain
Breaks” (one- to three-minute physical activity breaks) during
the school day. Teachers are encouraged to introduce one
Brain Break during each class period to get their students
moving and learning.
Research suggests children need 60 minutes of vigorous
physical activity every day. Gotta Dance and Move More
program provides teachers another tool to help increase the
total physical activity minutes their students experience
each day.
READING PROGRAMS EMPHASIZE
IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION
Radio Reader Program
St. John’s Children’s Hospital partnered up with
Capitol Radio Group to underwrite the Radio Reader
Program, now in its ninth year. Each month of the
school year representatives from Capitol Radio Group
visit two elementary schools in its listening area and
read to the children. Each child receives a copy of the
book being read. The Radio Reader Program reached
459 children in FY15.
Real Men Read
Now in its fifth year, Real Men Read has proven its
importance to Springfield Public Schools. In FY15,
Real Men Read served 39 classes and nearly 1,000
students in first through seventh grades. The men in
the program are fathers and grandfathers who inspire
the children to pursue academic excellence, often by
sharing their personal histories and strategies for
overcoming life’s obstacles. HSHS St. John’s Hospital
is the presenting sponsor of Real Men Read. Thanks to
the hospital’s support, the children receive a copy of the
book read to them each month.
Following are excerpts from a letter from a Franklin
Middle School teacher that helps to illustrate the impact
of the program:
“The novels were fantastic and the kids really enjoyed
them. They were so different in many ways from what
the curriculum expects and what the kids tend to
select. We were able to write and create a few computer
projects regarding these novels as well.
“Real Men Read is everything you want in a program,
getting kids fired up about reading and understanding
the importance of this life skill.”

Affordable Care Act / Open Enrollment
Our mission, in accordance with Catholic social
teaching and values, calls us to serve as advocates
for everyone, particularly the poor and other
vulnerable populations. We believe health care is
a basic human right and it should be accessible
and affordable for everyone.
In an effort to inform and assist the public regarding
the availability of health insurance now available
through the Health Insurance Marketplace,
HSHS St. John’s Hospital helped launch the
Sangamon County Health Exchange Coalition in
FY14 with Family Guidance Center, Enroll America,
Get Covered Illinois and the Sangamon County
Department of Public Health. In FY15, the Coalition
assisted uninsured persons through certified
application counselors and in-person counselors
at six pre-enrollment events and nine
enrollment events.
The goal was to educate consumers on health
insurance marketplace requirements, including
what to expect and the information necessary to
complete the enrollment process. The navigators
enrolled 142 people at these events.
Access-to-care partnership
St. John’s and Memorial Medical Center, in
collaboration with SIU Center for Family Medicine,
have jointly hired a community health worker for
Enos Park Neighborhood. This individual works
with the residents to increase access to health care.
Data on health outcomes in Sangamon County, as
well as economic and social indicators, highlighted
areas of the community where residents experience
poorer health. One of these areas was the Enos Park
neighborhood. Additional focus groups held for
Enos Park residents and social service providers
highlighted areas of need.
The two hospitals will also expand the MOSAIC
children’s mental health project to McClernand
Elementary School in Enos Park.
The MOSAIC project focuses on children in need,
and their families, utilizing evidence-based
practices and interconnected community resources.
The goal is to meet the child’s needs for healthy social
and emotional development by providing services
and support when and where they are needed.

initiatives as one of eight community benefit
programs from across U.S. Catholic health ministries
to be featured on its website. CHA focused on
St. John’s metabolic syndrome initiatives from the
FY13-FY15 Community Health Needs Assessment.
In response to this need St. John’s community
outreach team worked with a group of health
care providers to identify practice gaps, research
best practices and investigate evidence-based
strategies for early detection in order to reduce the
progression of metabolic syndrome as it relates to
childhood obesity.

ANNUAL REPORT MESSAGE
“
FROM HSHS LEADERSHIP
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
As we embrace the rapidly changing health
care industry, Hospital Sisters Health System
continues to work diligently to heighten the
reliability and value of care we provide our
patients according to their unique needs. As we
begin the third year of the Affordable Care Act
and more people continue to access health care,
we continue to strengthen our system’s
infrastructure to accommodate our patients’
most vital needs.

President and CEO
Stephen Bochenek
Chair, Board of Directors

In this annual report, we highlight many ways
we are serving our patients and their families
through our high quality, Franciscan health care
ministry. Our accomplishments this past year
include breaking ground on a new state-of-theart hospital and two ambulatory care centers in
southern Illinois, implementing new programs
and technology to restore health to our patients,
updating the environments in which we heal,
increasing the effectiveness and efficiency for
how we deliver care, and working collaboratively
with others to improve the health status of
our communities.
H SH S ST. J O H N ’ S H OS P ITAL
Our accomplishments include greater synergy
between our colleagues and physician partners
as we collectively deliver highly coordinated
care to all patients. Whether it’s a major process
improvement initiative in our service lines,
a technological break-through to improve
efficiency, virtual care to patients, new mobile
applications and better access to online medical
records or providers, or impactful training
programs for colleagues, the goal is to ensure
each patient has the best experience during their
care and the optimal outcome for their health.
During this critical time in the evolution of health
care, HSHS strives to utilize every aspect of the
health care system to continue our mission of
service and to improve the lives of our patients
and their families. Our goal is to unite the diverse
talents of our many dedicated physicians, nurses
and clinicians to provide our patients with
high-quality health care.
As a Franciscan health care ministry, we take
inspiration from the teachings of St. Francis and
St. Clare of Assisi as we serve others, particularly
the most vulnerable in our society. As health care
professionals, we constantly adapt to changes in
health care so we can deliver excellence in every
encounter with our patients, their families and
those with whom we work.
Over the past 140 years, our mission to share the
healing love of Christ has been constant. While
health care in the United States has become
increasingly complex, the consistency of our
mission sets us apart both as a health system and
as individual health care professionals. On behalf
of the Hospital Sisters Health System family, we
are grateful for the opportunity to serve our
patients, their families and our communities in
the healing tradition of Jesus Christ and
St. Francis of Assisi.
Sincerely,
Mary Starmann-Harrison
President and CEO
Stephen Bochenek
Chair, Board of Directors
