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.

Convenient Ozaukee Hospital
Helps Heart Attack Patient Survive
If timing is everything, no one is better at it than
Mequon pharmacist John Zywicke. 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

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.

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.’”

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.

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.

Rapid Response Team, ICU Care Saved
Critical Patient
Most people know to call 911 for a medical emergency
while they are at home. 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.

Response Team include (left to right) Kristina Baur,

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.

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.’”

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,

people at Columbia St. Mary’s were more than terrific.
I couldn’t have had better care,” he says.

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.
