2013 Annual Report - Taylor Regional Hospital

WELCOME
Dear Friends and Neighbors:
Thank you for forty
years of excellence!
Your support, insight,
and suggestions
have made Taylor
Regional Hospital an
outstanding facility
dedicated as a place
“Where patients
come first”.
The healthcare industry is undergoing significant
changes. Taylor Regional Hospital is committed
to focusing on value, accountability, efficiency and
transparency, while still remaining competitive in
today’s market, and continuing to provide quality
care and contain costs. All of this has to be
achieved while facing unprecedented compliance
risks and governmental scrutiny.
We are very fortunate to have an excellent, welltrained staff, and physicians who are committed
to the healthcare of the citizens in our community.
This year we saw several new physicians join
our staff. Dr. Gary Wortz, Ophthalmologist
specializing in cataracts, joined us in August. Dr.
Brad Wurth, Oral Surgeon, and his wife, Dr. Mary
Catherine Wurth, a Pediatric Dentist, moved to
Campbellsville in September. Dr. Cynthia Hart,
a Radiologist, came back to TRH in July. We are
glad to have Dr. Hart back, and are looking at
many changes in our breast care program at the
hospital under her leadership.
We also opened a new Vein Center in the spring under the direction of Dr. James Watkins and Dr.
Graham Englund. This offers another valuable service that patients previously had to travel out
of town to obtain. The new waiting area for Mammography was renovated and the Wound Care
Center has moved into the main building. We have also expanded the gift shop and relocated the
Chapel to a location that is easily accessible to the patient wings.
In August we purchased a new Hana orthopedic surgery table and are now able to offer anterior
approach total hip arthroplasty. The procedure being performed by Dr. Galen Weiss offers a smaller
incision, a shorter length of stay in the hospital, and a decreased recovery time for the patient. This
is a procedure usually only offered in larger cities.
Another successful Cancer Survey orchestrated through the American College of Surgeons took
place in May. The surveyor was very complimentary of the tumor conference, staff, and physicians.
We received full accreditation with three commendations.
Looking forward to 2014, we are hoping to recruit a full time Neurologist, enhance our Rural Health
Clinic in Columbia, and focus on bringing more services to our community. We will also get our first
glimpse into the new world of expanded insurance coverage and how it will affect our hospital and
community. Our goals continue to include a great place for team members to work, physicians to
practice medicine, and patients to receive the best care! Thank you for your continued support of
Taylor Regional Hospital.
Sincerely,
Jane Wheatley FACHE
Chief Executive Officer

Cancer Center survey successful
In May 2013, Taylor Regional Hospital and its Cancer Program received 3-year accreditation from the
American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. The rigorous on-site review is given every three
years only to those facilities that have committed to provide the best in diagnosis and treatment of
cancer. This accreditation, which Taylor Regional’s Cancer program has received since 1990, ensures
that a patient will have access to the best treatment options available, quality and comprehensive care,
information about cancer clinical trials, education and support, lifelong patient follow-up, and
ongoing monitoring and improvement of care.
Golfers support patient transportation
The fourth annual charity golf scramble raised more than $30,000 in September. Proceeds allowed Taylor
Regional Hospital to replace a vehicle for a van service that provides no-cost transportation to qualifying
patients to the hospital, Rehabilitation and Cancer centers and physicians’ offices.

department held a bake sale which raised more than $520 to
benefit breast cancer initiatives in the local community.

Anterior Hip Replacement
New and expanded services
Anterior Hip
Replacement is far
less invasive because
it cuts no muscle from
the pelvis or femur
during surgery and
without severed muscles
required to heal, patient
recovery can be greatly
reduced.
Dr. Galen Weiss with Taylor Regional Orthopedic
Group is now performing this procedure at Taylor
Regional Hospital with great success.
DermSpecialists now
coming to Campbellsville
Certified Physician’s
Assistant, Mitzi Carter
with DermSpecialists
of Elizabethtown has
more than 10 years of
dermatology experience
and is excited to expand
services in the area. She
will be working with
Dr. Jeffrey Richardson,
Dr. Chad Brown and Certified Physician Assistant
Elizabeth Morton at 125 Kingswood Drive.
Taylor Regional Hospital created new spaces and expanded services in the Vein Center, Wound
Healing Center, Infusion Center, Chapel and Gift Shop to allow guests greater access to excellent
health care close to home.
The Vein Center
The Vein Center, operated by James Watkins, MD and Graham Englund, MD, is a new service offering
venous disease procedures.
The Wound Healing Center
The Wound Healing Center, with medical director Eugene Shively, MD, has moved into the main
hospital to increase patient convenience.
The Infusion Center
Infusion treatments such as antibiotics on an outpatient basis are available at The Infusion Center in
a newly expanded area so these services are available to more patients.
Chapel
Taylor Regional Hospital Chapel relocated to an area vacated by the surgery department inside the
hospital which is closer to patient care areas. The new chapel location will allow patients and their
families more privacy and comfort.
Gift Shop
Taylor Regional Hospital gift shop has been renovated and expanded following the relocation of the
chapel. The gift shop is fully staffed by volunteers. A portion of the proceeds from the gift shop go
directly back to the hospital to fund equipment and other items for hospital departments.
