Inquiries regarding this publication may be directed to Carolyn Mitchell at 478-633-7395. 2 Medcen Happenings SPRING 2011 president In his 2010 book, The Emperor of All Maladies - A Biography of Cancer, Siddhartha Mukherjee, M.D., enters the mind of cancer, describing its personality, its historic behavior, and the behavior of those who have diligently toiled to conquer and control it. The saga covers centuries and is epic. Recounted from the earliest description recorded on papyrus through the genome insights of modern science, the story is a gripping drama marked by discoveries and despair, breakthroughs and backslides. Although the war on cancer was not formally declared until the Nixon administration, our human relationship with cancer has always been a war - a series of battles with some wins and some losses. Military efforts may well advance science and technology, but always at a price paid in human lives and suffering. So too is the story of the 5,000 year war with cancer. As Mukerjee vividly recounts, in spite of the centuries of discoveries, controls and cures, cancer remains very much alive among mankind. This year 600,000 Americans will be killed by cancer (25% of all deaths), and 7 million people world-wide will die at cancer’s hand. If you’re an American woman, your chance of being attacked by cancer is 1 out of 3 during your lifetime; if you’re a man your chance is 1 out of 2. The odds are good you will be caught in the crossfire and, if not, someone you know and love almost certainly will. The story of cancer is not just about battles, wins, losses, and weaponry including poison, scalpels and radiation. Cancer’s biography is about people (patients, physicians, biologists, caregivers…) and those who love them. While the story always begins with the scientific tale of a single cell gone awry, those cells multiply and the story quickly becomes one involving the lives of countless people . A diagnosis of cancer is not an event of celebration. It is a sobering moment commencing a journey often fraught with devastation, anxiety, and confusion. But it is not just about fear; it is also very much about hope and compassion. This edition of Medcen Happenings focuses on how we’re working to ameliorate the devastation and anxieties which often result from a cancer diagnosis. Through a series of unique hospital /physician partnerships, a new Comprehensive Cancer and Research Center is being developed to enhance hope and compassion. Toward this end, disease site teams reflecting the 4 major cancers in our region - lung, breast, GI/colorectal, and prostate- are up and running. Meeting bi-weekly, these medical teams review all cases, www.medcenfoundation.org department A message from the and assess / coordinate all treatment options. Effective and caring nurse navigators are assigned to patients to help them decipher the intimidating language of cancer and to assist them to cope with the chaos which cancer can bring. Additionally, national clinical trials are available and encouraged. Our staff assists in promulgating this knowledge and coordinating patient participation. Fulltime genetic and nutrition counseling is available to all patients. Emotional supports such as the Cancer WellFit program, chemotherapy orientation and Look Good/Feel Better are readily available and invaluable. Most exciting is the formal affiliation agreement in place between the Medical Canter of Central Georgia and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. As one of only 44 National Cancer Institute designated sites in the nation and the only site so designated in Georgia, the marriage of the two medical centers allows, through the miracles of technology, all patients at MCCG to be virtual patients at UAB , availing themselves of invaluable expertise and physician consulting options. The one component still outstanding and, therefore, the challenge we face, is the integration of these treatment options, services and supports within a tangible and patient/family friendly environment. Candidly many parts of the hospital are showing their ages; patients have voiced, cancer care is hard enough to navigate and navigating the maze of old corridors and buildings only makes the journey more difficult. We are excited about bringing the environment up to the same level as the services. The Foundation has committed to raise $9 million to make this Center possible. We believe donors want, now more than ever, to give to those projects with tangible results. We also believe your gifts to this project could not do more good or touch more lives. The Comprehensive Cancer and Research Center will, without question, change and save lives. This edition of Medcen Happenings focuses not on the stories of buildings and science but on individual stories—with happy endings— these are the stories of cancer survivors. Our ability to report countless future patient journeys devoid of fear and confusion will be possible through the development of the Comprehensive Cancer and Research Center. We invite you to become involved; the return on your investment will be invaluable. To all of you who have already invested, we offer profound gratitude on behalf of our patients. Our donors have insured our hospital is world class and we are ever so grateful. I invite you to enjoy this issue. - Ethel Cullinan Medcen Happenings 3 feature In the Making: A New Comprehensive Cancer and Research Center By: Debbie Schuchmann Dr. Schnell relaxing with his best friend. In 1983, Frederick M. Schnell, M.D., F.A.C.P. came to Macon, to the Medical Center of Central Georgia. He had graduated magna cum laude from the College of the Holy Cross with a B.A. in biology and completed medical school at Case Western Reserve University. He had just completed his internship, residency and fellowship at Emory University in Atlanta. He brought with him a wealth of knowledge about a late-breaking treatment for cancer called chemotherapy. His knowledge and experience changed the face of cancer care for Central and South Georgia residents. Now, almost thirty years later, the face of cancer care is changing again and standing at the forefront, leading the ongoing fight against cancer is Dr. Schnell, CEO of Central Georgia Cancer Care. One of ten children from Ohio, Schnell actually resisted becoming a physician. Having a father and an uncle 4 Medcen Happenings who were both physicians he tried in vain to ignore the scientist and caregiver woven into his very DNA. Luckily he finally gave in and became a physician -not the internal medicine physician his father was, but a physician who specialized in oncology and loved research. Seeking the lifestyle only found in the South and yearning to participate in the research and medical advancements being made in the treatment of cancer, he and his wife, Kim, settled in Macon. One of the revolutionary changes in treatment which he implemented was a center where patients could come for their chemotherapy treatments as an outpatient. Instead of being hospitalized, they were able to check in for their treatment and go home the same day. Now it is commonly known as an Infusion Center and is a regular treatment area for patients diagnosed with cancer. SPRING 2011 Another important change in cancer care brought about by Schnell is the concept of the “disease site team.” Many cancer patients have up to five or more physicians: an oncologist, an oncology surgeon, a radiation oncologist, a plastic surgeon for reconstruction, a pathologist and other consulting physicians. Patients and their families are overwhelmed. In the past, these physicians often met only with the individual patient. Beginning with Breast Cancer almost ten years ago, Schnell formed a team of all the involved physicians and started weekly meetings to discuss each patient’s care. The outcome of these meetings has meant better care and better outcomes for patients. Now there are disease site team meetings for three other prominent cancers found in Georgia: lung, GI/colorectal, and prostate. Schnell is a visionary. He sees the new Comprehensive Cancer and Research Center as a place where there are cutting edge cancer therapeutics, where research and specialty training are available, a place where patients have increased access to clinical trials and where physicians collaborate on a regular basis. He sees it as a destination site for the entire Southeast. He feels strongly that Macon deserves a Comprehensive Cancer and Research Center. During this era of healthcare reform, there is a vital need for high quality care which is accessible and affordable. Traveling to or through Atlanta only increases the stress on the patients and their families. Flying to another facility, when 95% of all treatments can be done here only exacerbates feelings of loneliness and solitude often felt by cancer patients. Schnell consistently uses stories to describe the new Center and states his reasoning is that his patients relate to stories. Listening to him, you sense his commitment and passion for helping patients with cancer. You know he is well-trained and has extensive credentials, but when he says, “it’s a privilege to help patients find their way to the care and treatments they need,” you know the driving force behind all his www.medcenfoundation.org work and research boils down to his sincere desire to help a fellow human being. His practice has grown to include seven, soon to be eight, oncologists. They now see an average of 125 patients a day. This is not including the patients who come in for chemotherapy treatment or injections. To make this kind of impact on the healthcare of a community, it takes a person like Schnell who has an unwavering commitment and dedication to his life’s mission. Schnell has immersed himself in continuing education and research throughout his career. He currently serves as Clinical Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Medicine at Mercer University School of Medicine and Clinical Assistant Professor of Hematology & Oncology at the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University School of Medicine. He is also a Principal Investigator with the Accelerated Community Oncology Research network. Schnell holds many community positions and awards including Medical Director of Central Georgia Breast Care Center, member of Board of Directors of the Community Oncology Alliance, Medical Director for Georgia Center for Oncology Research & Education and Board member of Community Health Works. Much of his research has been published in professional medical journals as well. Fortunately for his patients and the rest of our community he chose Macon as his home. He and his wife, Kim, who is an avid community supporter, have three grown children and three grandchildren. Somehow he still manages to make time to enjoy traveling, visit with family and friends, and even play with his dog. If you would like to learn more about plans for the new Comprehensive Cancer and Research Center, please contact Debbie Schuchmann at 478/633-6151 or [email protected] Medcen Happenings 5 feature Joe Hobbs survivor story Chairman, Cancer WellFit Project Cancer Survivor By: Ellen Terrell Cancer recovery is often a long path for those faced with the debilitating impact of treatment, particularly radiation and chemotherapy. The Cancer WellFit (CWF) Project is assisting many on their path to return to their fullest physical and emotional potentials. The free 12-week oncology recovery program combines exercise, education, nutrition, mind/body activities, and emotional support. The holistic approach incorporates all aspects of a person’s health and well-being. Joe Hobbs started Cancer WellFit in September 2005 after his wife, Diana, insisted he get out of the house. “I was probably driving her crazy and I realize now I was suffering with depression to some degree”, says Joe. “I had been diagnosed 5 months earlier and had undergone radiation and chemotherapy for throat cancer. When I entered the Wellness Center that very first day for the Cancer WellFit class, I weighed 118 pounds and didn’t have the energy to walk around the 1/8 mile track.” Now Joe can be found working out at the Wellness Center five mornings a week. He runs a 5k in 32 minutes, enjoys circuit training, can do 20 pull ups as if they’re nothing, and can hold the plank (a core abdominal strength exercise) for 7 minutes ~ the man’s incredible! Joe has been cancer free for over five years and continues to volunteer for the Cancer WellFit program. He’s proud to tell everyone that he is the Chairman of Cancer WellFit.... meaning he sets out the chairs at the beginning of each session and stacks them afterwards. He enjoys talking with new participants and encouraging them to “stick with the program”. He tells them, “You’ll become addicted as I did.” The classes are held at the Wellness Center and each two-hour session includes exercise followed by educational topics such as coping skills, stress management, nutrition, and side effects of medications. The program also includes mind/body programming such as meditation, yoga, drumming, and guided imagery. When an individual begins the Cancer Well-Fit program, the trained professional staff develops an individually supervised exercise plan, with physician approval, based on therapy restrictions and energy levels. The staff monitors the participants’ progress and ability to maintain activity. Clinical outcomes are documented for each participant and have demonstrated significant changes in their quality of life. 6 Medcen Happenings You often hear cancer has a way of changing your attitude about life. Joe agrees with that and adds Cancer WellFit gave him the strength to also change his way of living. “I no longer sweat the small stuff. If the grass doesn’t get cut every week, who really cares? Diana and I just lock the doors and leave in our 6-speed Miata convertible whenever the mood strikes us.” Cancer survivors in our community can certainly benefit from the Cancer WellFit Project. Please help us spread the word. Much of the Cancer WellFit Project is supported through donations and volunteers. If you would like to know how you can help, contact Ellen Terrell at 478-633-7396 or [email protected] SPRING 2011 feature Amber P. Lawson, DMD survivor story Owner, Signature Dentistry of Macon Cancer Survivor By: Ellen Terrell Amber Lawson knew at a young age she was going to be a dentist, but in 1998, just weeks away from taking final exams for her freshman year at Mercer University, she felt a knot in the side of her abdomen. After a CT scan and needle biopsy, Dr. Macram Ayoub removed the growth, which was later diagnosed as Extra Osseous Ewing’s Sarcoma, a very rare and serious form of cancer. Amber was given a 30% chance of surviving, but she refused to give in to those odds. She decided her diagnosis of cancer would just be a bump in the road to becoming a dentist. Fast forwarding to 2011, Amber recently heard about the Comprehensive Cancer and Research Center project and immediately wanted to become involved. “Having a comprehensive cancer center in Macon will be a huge benefit to this community. My disease was so rare, I had to travel to Atlanta to receive my chemotherapy treatments. In between treatments, I would have blood work done in my home town of Montezuma, many times confirming neutropenia, which would result in a hospitalization here in Macon at the Medical Center. The travel alone back and forth to Macon and Atlanta during that year took such a toll, not only on me, but my parents as well. It would have been so much more convenient to have received all the services in one location.” say enough about the care I received from the clinical staff at the Medical Center. They were wonderful to me and I am forever grateful to Dr. Ayoub for saving my life.” Amber credits her positive attitude, faith in God and the support of her family and friends in seeing her through that time of her life. In 1999, Amber returned to Mercer University to resume her education. After graduating Magna Cum Laude, she attended the Medical College of Georgia, where she earned the degree Doctor of Dental Medicine. She remained after graduation to complete her General Practice residency. In 2007, Dr. Lawson reached her goal of becoming a dentist and opened Signature Dentistry of Macon. Not only is her love for dentistry evident, she also loves Macon and has brought her energy and enthusiasm to our community with her involvement in the Junior League, Macon Symphony, The Children’s Hospital, and more recently the Comprehensive Cancer & Research Center. Our community is very fortunate Dr. Lawson calls Macon home. Dr. Lawson, thank you for allowing us to share your story. During her many hospitalizations at the Medical Center, Amber developed close friendships with the staff; so close she has been in two of the nurses’ weddings. “I cannot www.medcenfoundation.org Medcen Happenings 7 Lucinda Thompson feature survivor story Jasmine and Branden’s Mom Cancer Survivor by: Ellen Terrell with her children, her inner thoughts were, “I’ve got this deadly thing in my body and now I’m pumping poison inside my body to kill it.” As frightening as this was to her, she was even more confident her course of treatment was appropriate when she learned her case had been reviewed and discussed by the breast cancer Disease Site Team, established in 2001. “Having an entire group of healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, and dieticians discuss my case gave me a great sense of trust and truly made me feel special.” When I met Lucinda Thompson, I immediately knew I had a new friend. Her enthusiasm for life and helping others is contagious, and just being in the same room with her puts you in a good mood. Don’t you love people like that? I’d like to share with you her cancer story. On May 26, 2009, at the age of 35, Lucinda was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer. “I was overwhelmed when I received the diagnosis and would probably have gone into shock, but being a single mom to a 3 and a 4 year old at the time, I didn’t have time to be in shock. I just needed to get well,” she shared with me. HER2+ is a breast cancer that tests positive for a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (thus HER2+) which promotes the growth of cancer cells. In about 1 of every 5 breast cancers, a gene mutation causes the cancer cells to make an excess of HER2. This gene mutation, and the elevated levels of HER2 that it causes, can also occur in other types of cancer. HER2-positive breast cancers tend to be more aggressive than other types of breast cancer, so Lucinda’s treatment plan was also aggressive, consisting of six months of chemotherapy, followed by a double mastectomy, followed by thirty-six rounds of radiation. “It was important to me to keep Jasmine’s and Branden’s lives as normal as possible, so I just told them Mommy has a little sickness and the medicine is going to make her hair fall out.” While this is what she shared 8 Medcen Happenings When I shared with Lucinda a Disease Site Team for GI/Colorectal cancer began in October 2009, a Lung Cancer Disease Site Team in October 2010 and a Prostate Disease Site Team started this year, she replied, “What a blessing this is for future cancer patients in this community.” Lucinda is now cancer free and enjoying life to its fullest. She is also an active board member of United in Pink, Inc. (formerly known as Bunko for Breast Cancer), The organization works diligently to positively affect the quality of life of other breast cancer survivors, their spouses and their children. Lucinda’s testimony is part of the DVD being developed for the Comphensive Cancer and Research Center. Lucinda, we thank you for sharing your story with us.

The committee was fortunate to have two wonderful hosts, Dr. and Mrs. Jason Smith of Macon and Lane Southern Orchards of Fort Valley. Over 70 guests attended both parties and were educated on the first class services that The Children’s Hospital has to offer for children in our region. Joe Lavelle, COO of The Medical Center of Central Georgia, Doctors Frank Bowyer and Mitch Rodriguez, and Nikki Paulk, Assistant Vice President of Women’s and Children’s Services also spoke about the services of The Children’s Hospital and it’s future growth both in technology and service areas. The Callaway committee would like to thank our hosts for their generosity in hosting these educational parties for The Children’s Hospital! www.medcenfoundation.org Medcen Happenings 11 CEO Roundtable Focusing on Cancer Care Draws a Crowd happening By: Debbie Schuchmann The Business & Corporate Committee of the Medcen Community Health Foundation recently hosted a CEO Roundtable in the Peyton Anderson Health Education Center. The Host Committee, made up of business leaders and chaired by Cal Hays, President, Hays Services, LLC, strives to foster a partnership between the business and health care communities. Their focus is to strengthen the mutual goal of decreasing costs while maintaining excellence in healthcare for Central Georgians. In order to gain the support of prominent business leaders, the committee realizes they must first educate the business community about the Medical Center. Who better to give a realistic view than President and CEO, Central Georgia Health System, Don Faulk? On Thursday, May 19th at noon, those attending were greeted by committee members as well as members of the MCCG administrative team. After a bit of networking and a quick lunch, participants settled down for remarks from Don whose successful tenure as CEO speaks for itself. Don builds an immediate rapport with the audience as he speaks about specific developments at the Hospital including the latest information about the new Comprehensive Cancer & Research Hospital being developed. His comments were a prelude to information from guest speakers, Dr. Frederick Schnell, CEO, Central Georgia Cancer Care and Nancy White, RN, Director of Oncology, MCCG. Dr. Schnell’s informational educational presentation gave the listeners an introduction to the history of cancer care in Central Georgia and guided them through some of the milestone developments in cancer care and research. In his overview, he explained how vital a new Comprehensive Cancer and Research Hospital is to MCCG’s patients and families and how exciting it is to see something of this magnitude become a part of our community. This discussion segued the introduction of Nancy White, RN who has been working closely with 12 Medcen Happenings physicians and administration in the planning of this special project. Nancy’s presentation focused on sharing the details of the new Comprehensive Cancer & Research Hospital. She mentioned many of the benefits to patients and families, such as being a one-stop facility for the care and treatment of Cancer. Currently services are housed throughout the Hospital. At an extremely stressful time, having the additional stress of moving from Point A to Point B just shouldn’t be a factor. She spoke about the nurse navigator service as the patient’s “GPS” system from the moment of diagnosis throughout remission. White also pointed out the benefits to the business leaders as employers. Employees will receive cancer treatment nearby, not several hours away, and return to work sooner, which is emotionally and cost-wise beneficial. From an even broader perspective, there is an economic benefit to the community. Just as the Luce Heart Institute has become a destination for cardiac care and treatment, the Comprehensive Cancer & Research Hospital will be a destination for oncology care. It will bring trained professionals and personnel as well as top-rated physicians to our community. Mindful of everyone’s time, the speakers concluded the program with a Question and Answer period in which participants could share their thoughts and concerns. Today when few of us have not been personally impacted by cancer, there was much interest about the new facility and its potential positive impact on Central and South Georgia both from personal and business aspects.

Medcen Happenings 13 Your Footprints department by: Debbie Schuchmann As we enjoy summer, a time for family vacations and time at the beach you might want to think about this as you walk along the shore. Everyone leaves footprints on the sands of time. Our prints are made by the impact of our lives on others. A person is remembered for the weight of his or her character. For indentations of accomplishment. For shapes of kindness. For length of compassion. For width of personal warmth. For generosity. For values. When we leave positive impressions behind, we enhance the lives of our friends and loved ones. We give them footprints to follow. provide that extra boost to the budget that can make the difference between program advancement and program retrenchment. Estate gifts can be designated for a specific area of the hospital such as the new Comprehensive Cancer & Research Center or they can be unrestricted for use where needed most. They can also fund endowments that perpetually provide an ongoing witness to your friends and loved ones that you believe in the work of MCCG. 3. An estate gift encourages imitation. Thoughtful estate planning is one means we have to make a print in the sand to help others recall our priorities. For example, consider the effect of a plan that includes provision for family members and resources for charitable organizations like Medcen Community Health Foundation. 1. An estate gift makes a positive statement. When you include Medcen in the final disposition of your estate, you declare to your family and friends that you believe in and care about the mission of The Medical Center of Central Georgia. Your parting gift becomes a clear declaration of your values. There’s something about a well-planned estate gift that influences others to “go and do likewise.” As friends and family members plan their own estates, they may recall your generosity and thoughtfulness. Your gift may unlock resources for the hospital from other estates. Debbie Schuchmann, Major Gifts and Planned Giving Officer, and the Planned Giving Committee, are available to provide you with the information and materials you need to include charitable giving in your overall estate plan. To arrange for a personal visit, please contact Debbie at 478-633-6151 or [email protected]. 2. An estate gift provides needed funding. Estate gifts are especially valuable, not only because they tend to be larger than annual gifts, but also because they often come at critical times.

Dance Marathon is a national Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals event allowing college students to work closely with The Children’s Hospital at The Medical Center of Central Georgia to raise both funds and awareness. The schools participate in year long fundraising efforts that result in the actual Dance Marathon where students stay up on their feet for up to 12 hours in honor of the children who have been through so much. They “dance” for those who can’t. Former patients and families participate by telling their stories and explaining why having a local Children’s Hospital is so crucial. This year Dance Marathons at both Mercer University and Gerogia College and State University joined forces and were sponsored by GEICO. Over 200 students from Georgia College and State University raised over $23,000 for The Children’s Hospital. The theme for this year’s event was “Hit The Jackpot For The Kids.” They had Vegas inspired decorations and gave out baskets of Vegas goodies to all the patient families who came out to share their stories. Mercer University’s Dance Marathon had over 75 participants and raised over $12,000 for The Children’s Hospital. They had a Circus theme celebrating all the patient families by engaging them in various activities all related to a circus. We appreciate all the hard work and dedication of these students and the generosity of their supporters! All their hard work and dancing really pay off and they do it all, “For the Kids!” 16 Medcen Happenings SPRING 2011 HEAT Appreciation Event Thanks to all of our HEAT members. We are GROWING!!!
