Transforming Hea 2006 Report to the Community l thcar e Leo Brideau and Linda Mellowes are shown on the top of Prospect Medical Commons overlooking the construction site for the new Columbia St. Mary's Hospital Milwaukee. Beyond Medicin e Trans form ing “We’re creating the future of healthcare, not only for Milwaukee, but nationally.” – Linda T. Mellowes, Board Chair “Our vision is to go beyond medicine and transform healthcare for this new century.” – Leo P. Brideau, President and CEO Our Visio n Into Reality Dear Friends, At Columbia St. Mary’s, we have a vision for our community. It starts with breaking down barriers to safe, quality, accessible healthcare for all the people we serve. In realizing our vision, we intend to create a healthcare model for the nation. This year’s Report to the Community describes the progress we have made in improving healthcare through three strategic commitments: Healthcare That Works – Facilities that are antiquated, inefficient and redundant create barriers to optimal care. Our efforts to make healthcare work became most visible this year as we took our building programs from concept to concrete. This summer, we broke ground for the new Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Milwaukee. The new hospital began as a vision of what quality care could mean for patients and has become one of the most innovative building projects in the country. To make care more convenient and efficient throughout our area, we began expanding our Ozaukee campus into a full-service hospital with comprehensive cardiac care. We’ve opened new urgent care facilities downtown and 1 in Glendale. Our new nationallyaccredited Chest Pain Centers and certified Stroke Centers will enable us to assess life-threatening conditions earlier, when treatment is most effective. In recognition of our quality care, operational efficiency, financial performance and growth, Solucient – a major national healthcare consulting firm – named Columbia to its Top 100 Hospitals: National Benchmarks for Success listing. Columbia was the only Wisconsin hospital so honored. Healthcare That Is Safe – Patients expect a hospital to be safe. When a national study estimated that up to 98,000 patients die every year from preventable errors, it became a challenge and a call to action for the country’s hospitals – the 100,000 Lives Campaign. In response, 3,000 U.S. hospitals established programs to eliminate preventable deaths and collectively save 100,000 lives. Columbia St. Mary’s was among the first to enroll in the campaign; in fact, we had begun our effort six months 2 earlier. Over the 18-month national campaign ending in June 2006, these 3,000 hospitals exceeded the challenge, saving 122,300 lives. During the campaign, Columbia St. Mary’s documented 136 patients whose lives were saved. Although the national campaign has ended, our efforts continue. We’ve achieved dramatic results in reducing infection rates and virtually eliminating pneumonia among ICU patients on ventilators. In addition, we are setting national benchmarks for managing blood-sugar levels and improving outcomes of diabetic inpatients. Healthcare That Leaves No One Behind – Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the volunteer efforts of our physicians and staff, Columbia St. Mary’s was able to serve more residents without health insurance or with inadequate coverage. This past fiscal year, we increased our charity care by 25 percent, from $15.7 million in 2005 to $19.6 million in 2006. We continue to work with national, state, regional and local healthcare organizations to find ways to provide quality care for everyone in our community. Continuing Our Legacy – Our dedicated staff continues to pursue efforts to provide patient-centered care while improving safety and quality. We will drive out unnecessary steps that add cost, but no value. Furthermore, we will be persistent in our efforts to offer access to healthcare, for everyone. At Columbia St. Mary’s, a Passion for Patient Care is more than a slogan. Since 1848, it has been our mission, and our driving force. Leo P. Brideau President and CEO Linda T.

Shortly after the opening of full cardiovascular services at Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Ozaukee in October 2005, Zywicke, then 62, found himself in the new Cardiac Catheterization Lab, undergoing an angioplasty with stents to unblock two arteries. Dr. Robert Huxley, the interventional cardiologist who performed the procedure, said Zywicke was critically ill when he arrived, adding: “If we hadn’t had the full-service cardiovascular care center here, we’d have had to transport him to another hospital downtown. That could have added an hour or more, and that delay could have caused him to lose more heart muscle.” While Dianne Zywicke was driving her husband from their home on the west side of Mequon, they called the police to tell them to expect a car speeding along Mequon Road and Port Washington Road. While she was talking to the dispatcher, John lost consciousness. Just a mile from the hospital, a police officer following them told her to pull over. He removed John from the car and started CPR on the ground. Within moments, paramedics arrived and took over. When she arrived, she learned that John’s heart had stopped en route, and his heart had to be defibrillated. In total, his heart had to be restarted 28 times that night. John remained in the hospital for five days and completed his recovery at home. In December, the couple took a cruise. A month later, on the advice of cardiac surgeon Dr. Leonard Kleinman, John underwent bypass surgery at the Ozaukee hospital. “John feels great,” says Dianne, who has worked nearly 30 years as a lab technician at both Columbia St. Mary’s east side hospitals. Cardiologist Robert Huxley, MD, featured with patient John Zywicke of Mequon. 4 John’s timing wasn’t his only advantage. As they say in real estate, location, location, location helped, too – with full cardiovascular services nearby at Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital in Mequon. ~ Healthcare that works Quick Thinking and Expert Stroke Care Saved Cedarburg Man Last June, Edward Scheer’s life abruptly changed. “Eddie was sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast when suddenly he couldn’t talk,” his wife, Audrey, recalls. “At first I thought he was choking. When I looked at him, he was swaying from side to side.” Instinctively, she reached for the phone and called 911. “They told me to ‘keep him breathing deeply,’ so that’s what I did,” Audrey says. A Cedarburg police officer arrived almost immediately, followed by a rescue squad and ambulance. Once at Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Ozaukee, doctors confirmed Edward was having a stroke. Dr. Jacqueline Carter, neurologist and medical director of Columbia St. Mary’s Stroke Centers, administered tPA, or tissue plasminogen activator, a clot-busting drug. Audrey’s quick thinking underscores the importance of knowing the warning signs of stroke. “I thought it was a stroke but I wasn’t sure. It all happened so fast,” she says. Stroke symptoms can come on suddenly. Common stroke symptoms include numbness or weakness on one side of the body or in the face, arm or leg; confusion; loss of vision in one or both eyes; difficulty walking, dizziness or loss of balance; and severe headaches. “I tell all our friends to act fast. Don’t wait if you think you’re having a stroke,” Audrey says. “The medicine Eddie got in the emergency room worked. Before long, he recognized me and said, ‘This is my wife of 56 years.’” Edward Scheer, stroke patient and granddaughter, Sarah “I tell all our friends to act fast. Don’t wait if you think you’re having a stroke.” – Audrey Scheer 5 O f all the expenditures that make up the U.S. economy, the cost of healthcare is rising faster than almost any other sector – and, the National Coalition on Health Care predicts, those costs will continue to soar. Columbia St. Mary’s is working to eliminate inefficiencies in healthcare and eliminate barriers to safe, quality care. Healthcare That Works represents our call to create safe, accessible, affordable and patient-centered environments. Our patients are at the center of our work, and partners in their care. Customer Value Improvement Program Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Milwaukee To eliminate unnecessary administrative functions and errors in treatment, we have adopted a Customer Value Improvement Program. It sets aggressive targets in quality, productivity and volume. Throughout Columbia St. Mary’s, everyone is being trained to recognize errors and waste, and institute changes to correct them. We broke ground this year for one of the focal points of our system, the consolidated Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Milwaukee. When it opens in 2010, the 10-story facility with 513 private patient suites will replace Columbia and St. Mary’s hospitals on the city’s east side. The new hospital will save $19 million in annual operating costs. In recognition of our achievements in quality care, operational efficiency, financial performance and growth, Solucient – an independent consultant in national healthcare standards – cited Columbia Hospital in its 100 Top Hospitals: National Benchmarks for Success 2005 Award. Columbia was the only Wisconsin hospital so honored. Supported by our sponsors, Ascension Health and Columbia Health System, and backed by leading national research, the new hospital will be one of the most advanced in the country, and flexible enough to adapt easily to emerging technologies. Most patient rooms will have Lake Michigan views. Patients will be able to control the lighting and 6 ~ temperature in their rooms. Floors have been laid out to enhance staff efficiency and improve staff-patient communications. We are working with the Institute of Healthcare Improvement to build the safest possible environment, and with the Center for Health Design’s Pebble Project to construct a healing environment. Prospect Medical Commons – A five-story medical clinic-retail complex, Prospect Medical Commons marks the first phase of the new Milwaukee Hospital campus. Medical specialties include family practice, OB/Gyn, pediatrics, surgery, neurology, cardiology and gastroenterology. Onsite services also include lab., digital radiology, CT, bone density, ultrasound and mammography. ~ The ground floor is home to Whole Foods Market, a national organic grocer focused on fostering better nutrition. Columbia St. Mary’s is the first healthcare organization Whole Foods has partnered with, and its space includes conference rooms and demonstration kitchens that can be used for patient education. Cancer Center and Water Tower Commons – In April, we broke ground for a new Cancer Center on Lake Drive that will open in fall 2007. It will house advanced technology and offer treatment options ranging from radiation oncology to integrative medicine. The Cancer Center will be a destination of choice for cancer patients to receive high-quality care and services. It will have calming views of Lake Michigan, healing gardens and quiet spaces. Patients will have a single contact, an on-staff nurse navigator, to support them and their families throughout treatment. Also available will be a genetics-screening program, pastoral care, support groups and hospice. As a direct result of our commitment to cancer care, during the past year the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons awarded Columbia St. Mary’s Cancer Services Program all nine commendations for its cancer care. Approval by the Commission on Cancer is given only to those facilities that have voluntarily committed to provide the best in diagnosis and treatment of cancer and to undergo a rigorous evaluation process and a review of its performance. Healthcare that works On Oct. 5, 2005, the Ozaukee hospital opened two new cardiac catheterization labs to provide angioplasty and stent procedures, and suites for heart surgery. Within eight months, we exceeded projections: Through June, the staff had performed 356 catheterizations, 86 implants (pacemakers and defibrillators), and 63 heart surgeries. Ozaukee Hospital Begins Expansion, Offers Full Cardiovascular Services The expansion of our Ozaukee hospital in Mequon began in fall 2005 and is scheduled to open in late 2007. Besides increasing the number of patient rooms for the rapidly growing region, the facility has added full cardiovascular care previously available only at our two Milwaukee hospitals. The $85 million expansion includes a new inpatient tower that will add 67 beds, bringing the total beds to 185, and a medical office complex. George M. Lange, MD, FACP, Internal Medicine, is one of 32 new physicians who joined Columbia St. Mary’s Community Physicians this year. 7 River Woods Outpatient Center 8 ~ Healthcare that works New Facilities and Services Foster Efficient Healthcare River Woods Outpatient Center – Conveniently located between our east side and Ozaukee hospitals, this Glendale facility offers four major services – GI, medical imaging, outpatient surgery and urgent care. The center provides many surgical procedures, once available only at hospitals, at a significant cost reduction for patients and health insurers. Advanced imaging technologies include the new open MRI, CT, ultrasound and full-field digital mammography. Cathedral Square Urgent Care Center – The new Cathedral Square Urgent Care Center serves the downtown work force and the growing number of downtown residents. Since the Center opened in November 2005, its staff and physicians treated 3,476 patients who needed urgent care services. In addition to urgent care, the Center offers TravelWORx, CorporateWORx occupational health, laboratory, X-ray, physical therapy and a pharmacy. Rapid Assessment and Treatment Help Heart, Stroke Patients Stroke Centers – To help community residents understand the symptoms of stroke, and to identify and treat stroke patients, Columbia St. Mary’s has established stroke centers in each of our three hospitals, with stroke specialist Dr. Jacqueline Carter as the new medical director. The Joint Commission of Accreditation for Hospital Organizations has certified our two Milwaukee east side hospitals as primary stroke centers. The Ozaukee Hospital stroke center certification is underway and is currently following the same protocols for stroke care as the two east side facilities. Chest Pain Centers – Since last year, all three hospital campuses have received chest pain accreditation from the Society of Chest Pain Centers. They are among only 16 chest pain centers in Wisconsin to receive this designation. Dr. Jacqueline Carter, Medical Director of Columbia St. Mary’s Stroke Center is featured with Karen McCuaig, Stroke Program Coordinator (left) and Julie Peichl, Clinical Nurse Specialist (right). 9 This recognition is significant, demonstrating that Columbia St. Mary’s Hospitals have met and exceeded several chest pain care standards, including the following criteria: ensuring collaboration between the Emergency Department and the local emergency medical system; rapid assessment, diagnoses, and treatment for cardiac patients, effectively treating patients who are low risk for acute coronary syndrome; continually seeking to improve processes and procedures in cardiac care; and, ensuring Chest Pain Center staff meet competency standards. Recognition from the Society of Chest Pain Centers ensures Columbia St. Mary’s has the processes and protocols in place to provide the highest level of care for patients experiencing a heart attack as well as those who are experiencing symptoms that could progress to a heart attack. Advanced Technology Delivers Faster, More Precise Diagnosis and Treatment Trilogy – Columbia St. Mary’s became the first health system in our region to offer Trilogy, the most powerful, versatile cancer treatment 10 technology available. Trilogy is the first single system that delivers both image-guided radiation therapy and enables radiosurgery. It is not only precise but also highly efficient. Trilogy enables physicians to precisely visualize the tissue requiring treatment and concentrate the radiation dose on the tumor without damaging normal surrounding tissue. Its ability to deliver precise radiation makes it ideal for treating head and neck cancers. Electronic Health Records – By the beginning of 2007, we will have all patients’ records stored electronically throughout our system. Our EHR system will help ensure accurate, consistent records for patients, regardless of when they received care or where they were served within the system. The system will eliminate delays in transferring records, avoid lost files and track medications. EHRs give multiple caregivers prompt, simultaneous access to patient health data. EHRs will also help make billing more accurate. Picture Archiving and Communications System – PACS scans and stores images electronically so clinicians can quickly compare new images with previous ones. This service is now available throughout Columbia St. Mary’s, and was funded in part through generous donor support. Hospital Foundations Consolidate Columbia St. Mary’s has a proud history of philanthropy from three dedicated groups – Columbia Foundation, St. Mary’s Hospital Milwaukee Foundation and St. Mary’s Foundation Ozaukee. This summer, the three foundations united to further our mission as Columbia St. Mary’s Foundation. Every year, individual donors and organizations make it possible for Columbia St. Mary’s to extend its reach into the community, better serving all residents, including the uninsured and underinsured. Last year, through the generosity of more than 5,600 donors, the Foundation raised $5.2 million to help support deserving individuals and community organizations.

But what do nurses, doctors and other hospital staff do when a patient has a medical emergency or suffers a rapid and unexpected deteriorization of their condition in a hospital? Columbia St. Mary’s Rapid Response Team is our 911 in the hospital. The Rapid Response Team (RRT) – known by some as the Medical Emergency Team – is a group of clinicians that quickly brings critical care expertise to the bedside. The Rapid Response Team consists of a Registered Nurse from the ICU and Medical Surgical Unit as well as a Respiratory Therapist. Both the Institute for Health Care Improvement and the Institute of Medicine have cited RRTs as important steps hospitals can take to reduce mortality rates. “The nurses came so fast,” Dennis’ wife Corinne says. “I can’t say enough about them, and the care he got in the ICU.” For the next three days, Dennis was critical. “It was scary,” Corinne says, “but we had a lot of trust in the nurses and doctors. The nurses told me to call anytime, day or night. I can’t say enough about Columbia St. Mary’s.” Dennis and his wife are grateful to the entire Rapid Response Team and Infection Control Specialist Dr. Brian Buggy, Surgeon Dr. Anthony Linn and Cardiologist Dr. Robert Roth. Rapid Response Teams are making a huge difference in the lives of hospitalized patients across the country. Our RRT has played a significant role in our ability to save 157 more lives this past year, including Dennis Mattson’s. As a type 2 diabetic, Cedarburg resident Dennis Mattson knows from first-hand experience how important Rapid Response Teams are. Dennis was being treated at Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Milwaukee for complications of his Type 2 diabetes. “He was sitting in a chair, shaking, and he looked gray,” remembers Sherrie Neas, a critical care nurse and an RRT team member. “He was very unstable – sweating, short of breath, rapid, irregular heart beat.” She started an IV drip to control his heart rate, and a physician then had him immediately transferred to the ICU. At that moment, she decided that the RRT Team needed to intervene. 12 Representatives of the Rapid Response Team include (left to right) Kristina Baur, Medical Surgical R.N.; Lynn Angeli, Respiratory Therapist; and Darlene Sargeant, ICU R.N. ~ Healthcare that is safe H ospital patients can’t avoid feeling vulnerable. They’re away from home. They’ve had to surrender their clothes for garments that open in unusual places. People are speaking an unfamiliar language, possibly about them. But at least, patients think, they’ll be safe, they’ll receive good care, and their health will be restored. Unfortunately, a shocking report by the National Institute of Medicine titled “To Err is Human” found that hospital mistakes accounted for between 44,000 and 98,000 deaths every year in America. The report was more than a piercing alarm that could not be tolerated; it was a wake-up call to U.S. hospitals. ~ The 100,000 Lives Campaign – and Beyond Training, Rigorous Protocols Prevent Hospital Deaths Led by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Columbia St. Mary’s hospitals were among 3,000 American hospitals to participate in an 18-month campaign to stop such preventable medical errors. Nationally, more than 122,300 patient deaths were averted. As a participant in the 100,000 Lives campaign, Columbia St. Mary’s has instituted a rigorous program to train our staff in initiatives proven to prevent errors and death in our critically ill patients. These include accelerating our response time, preventing infections and aggressively helping patients avoid drug interactions. Even before the 100,000 Lives national campaign was launched, our efforts to implement greater safety measures and higher quality standards were well under way. For the 18-month national effort, we reported 136 critically ill patients whose lives were saved. Counting our efforts that began six months earlier, we documented 157 patients saved. In our three hospitals, we have established Rapid Response Teams – critical care nurses and respiratory therapists who are on call day and night to take immediate action when a patient’s condition worsens. In the case of patients experiencing chest pain, we have shortened the time between their arrival and when David Shapiro, MD, Vice President of Medical Affairs & Chief Medical Officer, and Maria Hill, Executive Director of Clinical Excellence. they begin receiving treatment – this is also known as door-to-balloon times. We’ve reduced the time from 13 evaluation to treatment to 78 minutes. This exceeds current best practice guidelines of 90 minutes or less. Continuing to follow strict protocols, we are aggressively working to eliminate deaths from infections in several categories – at surgical sites, from central IV lines, and from ventilator-assisted pneumonia, or VAT. Many potentially fatal medical errors can be traced to miscommunication about the drugs a patient currently takes. Some patients take a dozen or more prescription drugs every day. To avoid deadly interactions and overdoses, Columbia St. Mary’s and six other local healthcare systems and medical groups are working with the Milwaukee County Medical Society on a Medication Reconciliation project. We hope to develop a community-wide tool to help patients keep up-to-date records of their drugs and dosages. With accurate records, clinicians will be able to reconcile any new drugs that may be prescribed with the patient’s other medications. 14 Nationally Recognized Diabetic Care Approximately 25 percent of all inpatients are diabetic. Regardless of the reason for their admission, if their blood-sugar levels are controlled, their outcomes will be better. Columbia St. Mary’s became the first health system in Milwaukee to set targets for achieving good blood-glucose levels. Originally, we found that between 35 and 40 percent of patients were above our targets. Today, with careful monitoring, we have dramatically reduced that. Our results have earned us national accolades from CareScience for pioneering this effort. More important, it’s resulted in lower mortality and shorter stays, fewer infections and improved wound healing. Columbia St. Mary’s has reduced our door-to-balloon time for cardiac patients to 78 minutes, improving upon best practice guidelines of 90 minutes or less. ~ Healthcare that le aves n oo Expanding Ac cess Nancy Leahy, RN and Nurse Practitioner, visits with Edwin, who receives care from Columbia St. Mary’s Housecalls for the Homebound program. Since the program was founded in 1991, more than 1,200 people have received healthcare in their homes. to t he U ne behind nins ured and Underinsured 15 IMPACT Program Free Screening Can Detect, Treat Child Development Disorders Early When her daughter Noa was 18 months old, Kerry Hansen-Peller wondered why she was so timid at the playground. “She didn’t like being in a swing, and she was afraid to jump off a bottom stair like the other kids did,” Kerry remembers. “She had finally started to walk – several months after the national average – but she became agitated whenever her feet were off the ground.” Both a physical therapist and Noa’s pediatrician said everything was OK. Still, Kerry had doubts. Afterward, Kerry brought Noa to CSM’s pediatric therapy department. Lori Guszkowski, a pediatric occupational therapist, assessed her coordination and told Kerry that Noa had a disorder called sensory integration dysfunction, the inability of the brain to correctly process information perceived by the senses. “Therapy was key,” Kerry says. “Now, when Noa tries the swing, she’s confident.” Noa also had intensive occupational therapy just before starting preschool. “She’s still behind, but she’s no longer afraid to get involved with the other kids.” One day, she and Noa were at the Sherman Park Family Resource Center, where occupational and physical therapists, and a nurse from Columbia St. Mary’s IMPACT Program were offering free screening of children for developmental problems. The goal of IMPACT – Initial Medical and Pediatric Assessment, Consultation and Training – is finding problems early and providing therapy so children will be prepared and confident when they reach school age. Kerry signed up for a screening, and almost immediately, pediatric physical therapist Lisa VanderGeeten detected signs that Noa might have a problem: “I asked Noa’s mom if Noa didn’t like walking on grass or sand, or was bothered by movement and motion. Her mom said, ‘That’s Noa to a T.’” 16 Kerry Hansen-Peller and her daughter, Noa, were helped through Columbia St. Mary’s IMPACT Program. ~ Healthcare that leaves no one behind Huiras Family Ozaukee Free Clinic Helps New Resident Avert a Medical Crisis David Sulzer’s year didn’t start out well. He had been laid off from his job at a cheese factory in Monroe. At 57, he had a lot of experience – factory work, landscaping, construction – and he needed a job. At the invitation of a friend, he decided to look for work across the state, in Port Washington. During the spring, David began experiencing severe abdominal pains. He thought it was a reaction to a medication he was taking for Type 2 diabetes. By July, his symptoms worsened, and he was becoming jaundiced. “It was painful,” he recalls. “Plus, I was hungry, but I felt worse after eating.” After he went to the Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Ozaukee Emergency Department, he was referred to the hospital’s Huiras Family Ozaukee Community Health Clinic for further treatment. The clinic serves uninsured county residents. There, David was examined by the volunteer physician, Dr. Cheryl Zuccaro, who admitted him for treatment. During his three-day hospital stay, Dr. Chad Stepke – a GI specialist – treated his blocked bile duct. Chris Doers, RN (second row) and Sara Zirbel, Nurse Practitioner are featured with David, a patient being helped through the Huiras Family Ozaukee Community Health Clinic. David has resumed his job search and spreads the word about the kind people he’s met in Ozaukee County. “The people at Columbia St. Mary’s were more than terrific. I couldn’t have had better care,” he says. 17 A t Columbia St. Mary’s, our goal is to achieve 100 percent access to healthcare services for uninsured and underinsured persons in the greater Milwaukee area. We are enlisting strategic partners to work with us to achieve greater access for everyone. A gift with enormous impact came from the vision and generosity of longtime donor Ralph J. Huiras. It enabled us to open The Huiras Center in Mequon to treat adolescents with substance abuse and behavioral health problems. The center fills a service void that became apparent after the drug overdose deaths of several young people in the area. The Huiras family’s generosity, together with funds raised by our Foundation, also supports the Huiras Family Ozaukee Community Health Clinic that provides care to uninsured county residents. During the past year, the clinic had 650 patient visits. ~ Outreach Programs Expand Access to More Residents Dental Care and Healthcare for the Uninsured and Homeless Six years ago, Columbia St. Mary’s began the Madre Angela Dental Clinic to provide urgent dental care to the uninsured. Last year, the Foundation secured a challenge grant of $500,000 from Delta Dental Plan of Wisconsin to be matched over the next five years. Last year, the south side clinic had 6,436 dental visits and provided services valued at $1.1 million. Downtown, for the past 25 years, St. Ben’s Clinic for the Homeless has served as a free clinic for the 18 homeless at the site of one of the city’s largest meal programs. The clinic is staffed by our nurse practitioners, social workers and an outreach nurse, along with volunteer physicians, nurses and receptionists. Last year, St. Ben’s Clinic had 5,490 primary care visits, 3,940 social service visits and 2,328 outreach visits. St. Ben’s also supports Cathedral Center, a homeless shelter at St. John’s Cathedral for women and children. It includes an outreach clinic staffed by a Columbia St. Mary’s nurse practitioner, who provided services for 879 patient visits. In partnership with the United Community Center (UCC), the Columbia College of Nursing operates El Centro de Salud nursing center. Students and faculty offer immunizations, physicals, health education, health promotion, screening and support to UCC’s preschool, elementary and middle schools as well as adult services. Grants from the Harley-Davidson Foundation and the Milwaukee Area Health Education Center support these services. Last year, El Centro served 10,012 patients. Columbia St. Mary’s collaborates with the Medical College of Wisconsin to serve uninsured and underinsured adults at a weekly Saturday Free Clinic. The clinic is housed in our Family Care Center at Humboldt and North avenues, and staffed by MCW students ~ Healthcare that leaves no one behind whose work is overseen by our volunteer physicians. In addition, our Newport and Seton Pharmacies review patient profiles, process and fill prescriptions at greatly discounted rates, and provide medication counseling. Last year, the clinic had 1,055 patient visits. In October 2006, for the fourth year, Columbia St. Mary’s offered free prostate screenings for uninsured and underinsured men. Fifty staff volunteers – doctors, nurses, lab staff and nursing students – worked at the screenings. Altogether, 91 men were screened at four sites in the city. Healthier Infants and Preschool Children Milwaukee has one of the highest rates of infant mortality in the United States, especially among African Americans. Columbia St. Mary’s community nurses – working with the city of Milwaukee and in collaboration with churches and organizations – reach out to teenage and low-income mothers-to-be. A number of our outreach programs target infant and child health. Nurse Julia Means (left) is shown here helping participants from the Blanket of Love program. Through our Blanket of Love program, we provide prenatal care and follow young women through pregnancy and delivery, after which they begin working with a mentor to help keep their babies healthy. In January, the Foundation received funding from the Wisconsin Chapter of the March of Dimes to support Blanket of Love. Through another program, Safe Sleep, we provide portable cribs and educate young mothers to ensure they understand methods for putting their babies to sleep safely. In January, with support from our Foundation, 50 Columbia St. Mary’s and Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) volunteers conducted a free health fair for 200 women and children at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission. Our Family Care Center received a grant from Reach Out and Read, a national organization that promotes early literacy by giving new books to children and advice to parents about the importance of reading to their child. 19 Awards and Recognitions ~ Solucient names Columbia Campus as a Top 100 Hospital ~ Society of Chest Pain Centers confers three-year accreditation for all three Columbia St. Mary’s Chest Pain Centers ~ Joint Commission of Accreditation for Hospital Organizations awards certification to Columbia St. Mary’s east side primary Stroke Centers ~ The American Society for Bariatric Surgery designates the Bariatric Center at Columbia a Center of Excellence ~ Columbia St. Mary’s Hospice marks 25th Anniversary ~ Milwaukee Magazine names Columbia St. Mary’s Board Chair Linda T.

Healthcare That Works, Healthcare That Is Safe, and Healthcare That Leaves No One Behind In the coming year, we will relentlessly pursue our efforts to improve safety, quality and operational efficiencies. And with the continued support of our donors and professional staff members, we will reach out into the community to serve those who cannot afford the cost of healthcare. We will continue working with other healthcare systems to find ways to ensure adequate access to quality care for everyone in our community – all to ensure Healthcare That Works, Healthcare That Is Safe, and Healthcare That Leaves No One Behind. 21 Leading the Transformation Columbia St. Mary’s Board of Directors Linda T.
