Consumers to Benefit from more Preventive Care and One-On-One Attention L ewes family physician Jeffrey J. Heckert, MD, CPE, FAAFP, envisions a day when healthcare in the United States is organized around keeping healthy people healthy—when prevention and screening are vigorously pursued to avoid serious illnesses when possible. He envisions a day when communication between physicians and hospitals is streamlined and health data is integrated so that all the professionals providing care to a person have the complete information they need. That way, when they need to intervene to treat a disease, the care is coordinated and free of duplicate services. “We are talking about transforming the way care is designed and delivered,” Dr. Heckert says. “And, it is going to take many of us working together to make it happen, including the physicians, our nurses and office staffs, the hospitals, nursing homes and home health agencies, the government and insurers, and the patients and families, too.” Dr. Heckert is Chairman of the Board of Delmarva Health Network, a physician-led organization created in May 2013 to deliver high-quality care with the most value for the patients, at a low cost. The founding members included 27 physicians representing eight physician practices, and Beebe Healthcare. The participation list of physicians, care providers, “Each patient has unique needs. Care coordination is anything that bridges gaps along the care pathway.” —Megan Williams, DNP, FNP-C, Beebe Healthcare Director of Population Health and patient assistance programs continues to expand. “What we have now is not an integrated system, but a loose collection of fragmented silos,” says Jeffrey M. Fried, FACHE, President and CEO of Beebe Healthcare, describing how healthcare has been delivered. “Beebe founded Delmarva Health Network as a vital part of our strategy to transform healthcare in the communities we serve. We believe physicians need to lead this transformation and we’re excited to have such a talented and dedicated group of doctors to guide this effort.” Michele Seiler, RN, CPHQ (left), of Beebe’s Decision Support Department, supports Delmarva Health Network through the management of data systems and analytics; Barbara Robets (right), of Beebe’s Population Health Department, provides administrative support and assists with beneficiary communications. 2 BEACON / OCTOBER 2014 Megan Williams, DNP, FNP-C, chats with Richard Pack and Jeffrey J. Heckert, MD. Together, they are among those working to improve patient care. Delmarva Health Network was approved to participate as a Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organization (ACO), providing about 11,000 Sussex County Medicare beneficiaries with access to highquality, coordinated care. Launched in January 2014, this is the first Medicare ACO based in Delaware. Dr. Heckert, also CEO of Mid-Atlantic Family Practice, explains that the federal Affordable Care Act is driving much of this innovation. “Though the Affordable Care Act addresses topics like insurance mandates, most of the legislation is targeted at changing how care is delivered, with a focus on producing better outcomes for patients, creating better patient experiences, and lowering costs. “Someday, we won’t have a fee-for-service system as we have now. Instead, physicians and hospitals will be reimbursed based on the quality and value of the care they provide.” HOW IT ALL WORKS This change is a complicated one. It requires integrated IT systems to share health data between providers and the standardization of clinical protocols so patients receive consistent care across the network. Delmarva Health Network is implementing such a system now and has developed best-practice care models for diabetes and cardiac and vascular diseases, which are among the chronic illnesses that research has shown can be better managed if care is proactive and coordinated. “This is our starting point for slowing the progression of disease,” Dr. Heckert says. COORDINATORS EASE TRANSITIONS A team of care coordinators, led by Beebe Healthcare Director of Population Health Megan Williams, DNP, FNP-C, represents the glue connecting the physician practices, hospitals and other facilities like nursing homes, and patient assistance programs. These coordinators help patients navigate transitional periods, such as when they are being discharged from a hospital stay. The care coordinators, for example, help a patient fill out a form to get a walker or other medical aid to help them avoid a fall. They help patients make appointments and they also help patients who need assistance paying a heating bill, getting to a physician appointment, or having access to regular meals. “Each patient has unique needs,” Mrs. Williams explains. “Care coordination is anything that bridges gaps along the care pathway.” One of the many organizations that the care coordinators network with is St. Vincent de Paul, which makes sure that people have the basic necessities they need, especially when they cannot afford to pay for them. “We can better help people when we all work together,” says Frank Walder, President of St. Jude’s the Apostle Church Conference of St. Vincent de Paul. Medicare patients are the first group of patients to benefit from this new method of care delivery. Dr. Heckert says that the Network is already approaching private health insurance providers to expand this care delivery method to their clients. Lewes, represents Medicare patients on the Network board. “I am excited to be working with medical people in our community who are changing the way they deliver medical care based on results, not on fees.” Pack sees Delmarva Health Network as something that will improve communication between all caregivers, from the physician to the hospital, and to all providers of the services that someone might need. “I was very happy to see that the longterm care facilities are also supportive and willing to participate in this transformation,” Mr. Pack says. “This is such an important change for all of us. We’re fortunate to have Beebe Healthcare and the doctors in our own community collaborating to create a new and lasting model of healthcare.” AN EXCITING CHANGE FOR PATIENTS Richard Pack, owner of Grizzly’s Landscape Supply & Services, Inc., located on Rt. 9 in Members of the patient care team include, left to right, Brandi Geise, Ren Culp, RN, Andy Brittingham, and Denise Larson, RN. Delmarva Health Network is getting strong support from representatives throughout the community. Pictured here, left to right, are Ren Culp, RN; Richard Pack; Jeffrey J.

BEEBE HEALTHCARE / BEEBEHEALTHCARE.ORG 3 COLONOSCOPY SAVES LIVES Colorectal cancer survivor Mark Cashdan, front, tells everyone he knows to get a colonoscopy when they are supposed to. Mark is pictured here with the team at Mosquito Control at the State Division of Fish and Wildlife. They supported him through his cancer ordeal. Stock Car Racer Warns Men Not to Minimize Need for a Colonoscopy MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY MEANT A ‘TINY’ SCAR AND FASTER RECOVERY If Mark Cashdan had a single wish, it would be that he had gotten his colonoscopy when he was supposed to. At the same time, he is grateful that he finally got it in time to save his life. “No one was going to do that to me,” he 4 BEACON / OCTOBER 2014 recalls. “Most men I know won’t even consider getting one.” Mark, who races his 1955 Chevy stock car with his team on tracks around Delaware, even ignored serious symptoms signaling to him that he probably had some kind of can- cer. He attributed the blood to heavy lifting. Finally, when he was 52 years old, and after continual nagging by his physician, he went for a colonoscopy. Mark was diagnosed with rectal cancer. He would need surgery to remove the mass and a complex treatment regimen of chemotherapy and radiation to halt the cancer’s spread. IF ONLY . . . “It was a big wake-up call,” he says. “I was discouraged with myself. There was no reason not to have had the colonoscopy at 50 when I was supposed to.” SURGICAL ONCOLOGISTS TREAT COLON CANCER AND MORE The first thing Mark did was to look for a surgeon. His search led him to Chia-Chi Wang, DO, one of two fellowship-trained surgical oncologists at Beebe Healthcare. The other is James E. Spellman, Jr., MD, well known in Delaware cancer circles for his knowledge and expertise. Dr. Wang joined Beebe in 2012 after completing her fellowship in surgical oncology at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York. MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY MEANT JUST A ‘TINY’ SCAR Mark’s cancer was such that he was a candidate for a less invasive laparoscopic low anterior surgery that removed the mass. He had his surgery in January 2014. “Dr. Wang is top-notch,” he says. “It was a good surgery. I had no pain and I have just a tiny scar.” His wife Denise adds: “It was unbelievable. You can’t even tell that he had major surgery.” But then Mark had to go through months of chemotherapy and radiation. He couldn’t eat and lost more than 10 pounds. There were mornings he couldn’t leave the house. “I don’t like to miss work,” he says. “I don’t like to sit around.” Mark didn’t want to miss his son’s baseball games either and did his best to keep up with games, as well as his work. A mechanic by pro- fession, Mark continued to go to work in Mosquito Control at the State Division of Fish and Wildlife. Though neuropathy has made it impossible for him to drive his race car, he continues to work on the car and to have the support of his racing team members. Mark considers himself blessed. He had two close friends who died from cancer, and he believes he has been given another chance. He is especially grateful to his family and his friends at work, as well as to the medical team. Mark would also like to thank all of the doctors and nurses involved in his care. “They are angels from heaven,” he says. “Attitude is everything. God Bless you all!” Colon Cancer Patient Quickly Returns to Exercise Class After Surgery At 84 years of age, Phyllis Radish says she has always felt fantastic. Phyllis loves gardening and cutting grass with her ride-on lawn mower, as well as with her push mower for those hard-to-get-to spots. “I go to the doctor once a year, if she can catch me,” says the Laurel resident and DuPont Nylon Plant retiree. “And I do what I am supposed to do.” So, earlier this year, when she started feeling unusually weak, she knew something was wrong. She immediately went to the doctor, and a blood test showed she was anemic. Her doctor sent her to get a colonoscopy, which revealed cancer. Phyllis, a woman who had not stepped inside the doors of a hospital in 48 years, needed surgery. Needless to say, her family was concerned, and her granddaughter, a physician assistant, recommended Chia-Chi Wang, DO, one of Beebe’s two fellowship-trained surgical oncologists. The granddaughter knew that Dr. Wang was experienced with the minimally invasive Beebe Healthcare’s Surgical Oncology Department offers an advanced program in which fellowship-trained surgical oncologists perform both traditional open surgeries and minimally invasive procedures. Fellowship-trained surgeons have additional years of advanced study and experience in their specialty fields and have participated in expanded clinical, educational, and research programs. James E. Spellman, Jr., MD, is a fellowship-trained surgical oncologist. He is Board Certified in General Surgery. He is an accomplished surgeon, researcher, and author of professional articles in medical journals and books. He is the Delaware State Chair of the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC) Cancer Liaison Program and a Fellow of The American College of Surgeons and of The Society of Surgical Oncology. Chia-Chi Wang, DO, is a fellowship-trained surgical oncologist. She is Board Certified in General Surgery. She earned her undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from Rutgers University and a medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ), School of Osteopathic Medicine.

Spellman, Jr., MD, are fellowshiptrained surgical oncologists who perform surgeries at Beebe Healthcare. BEEBE HEALTHCARE / BEEBEHEALTHCARE.ORG 5 COLORECTAL CANCER WITH EARLY DIAGNOSIS CAN BE CURED The colon and rectum are part of the large intestine. Colorectal cancer occurs when tumors form in the lining of the large intestine. The risk of developing colorectal cancer increases after age 50. It is among the top five cancers in the United States, yet offers the most opportunity for prevention and cure. In Delaware, a nurse navigator system statewide and a state insurance program for eligible uninsured persons funded by tobacco monies has eliminated racial disparities in colon cancer screening and has shown a reduction in the death rate from colon cancer that is more than twice that of the national average, according to a state cancer report. Prevention Preventive colorectal screenings in the form of colonoscopies are important because they can identify polyps in the rectum and colon before they develop into cancer. People should have a colonscopy performed at the age of 50, and every 10 years, unless there is a family history, in which case people are encouraged to speak to their physician to have a colonoscopy earlier. Risk Factors • History of polyps or colorectal cancer • History of inflammatory bowel disease • Family history of colorectal cancer or adenomatous polyps • Racial background • Type 2 diabetes • Lifestyle-related factors such as a diet high in red meats, obesity, smoking, and heavy alcohol use laparoscopic approach, and she hoped that her grandmother would be a candidate for the easier surgical procedure. COLON CANCER DIAGNOSED IN AN EARLY STAGE Luckily, Phyllis’ cancer was still in an early stage, Dr. Wang says. Instead of requiring a large incision, the laparoscopic surgery requires a small incision to remove the tumor and other tiny ones for the surgical instruments and a camera so that the surgeon can view the inside of the patient on monitors in the operating room. Normally, patients are discharged from the hospital about a day earlier than with a traditional open surgery, can digest solid food sooner, and have a much shorter recovery time. Dr. Wang explains that not only does the laparoscopic approach offer unobstructed views inside the body for the surgical team, but also research has shown that the longterm outcomes are the same as they are with open surgeries. The tumor has to be small enough to get through the small incision, however. The minimally invasive technique N ormally, patients are discharged from the hospital about a day earlier than with a traditional open surgery, can digest solid food sooner, and have a much shorter recovery time. does not lend itself to an advanced cancer. Phyllis had her surgery in June and could not wait to get out of the hospital. She was there less than a week. “They kept asking me if I had pain. I didn’t have pain. It just felt like I had done 10 or 12 sit-ups and that I hadn’t done them in a long time.” Since the nurses told Phyllis to walk when she was in the hospital, she walked and walked, way more than she was advised to. “They asked me where I was going, and I told them that if they would not hurry up and let me go home, I was going to start making the beds.” Within a couple of weeks, Phyllis was back at her exercise class at the CHEER Center in Georgetown. “Dr. Wang told me which exercises I could do and which ones I couldn’t do right away.” Symptoms While most people do not experience symptoms in the early stages of colorectal cancer, symptoms can include: • A change in bowel habits • Rectal bleeding • Persistent abdominal discomfort • Weakness or fatigue • Unexplained weight loss When financial help is necessary: The following pay for colonoscopy: • Private insurance • Delaware’s Screening for Life program • Medicaid • Medicare To learn more about where to get financial help for cancer screening, please contact: The Community Healthcare Access Program (CHAP) at Beebe (302) 645-3167, or Beebe Healthcare’s Cancer Screening Nurse Navigator at (302) 645-3169. Laurel resident Phyllis Radish, 84, was back to her regular exercise class at CHEER within a few weeks after her minimally invasive colorectal cancer surgery at Beebe Healthcare. She says she was careful to do only what her surgeon, Chia-Chi Wang, DO, said she could do. 6 BEACON / OCTOBER 2014 TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENT Left to right: James Musser, Territory Manager for Laerdal Medical, and faculty members Joy Bartell, MSN, RN, CNE; Terri Wyatt, MSN, RN, CNE; Morgan Mast, MSN, RN, CNE; and Alison Watson, MSN, RN In 2015, Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing Will Offer Advanced Educational Technologies It has been easy to observe the steel girders rising into the sky that have signaled the growth of the Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing on the Lewes grounds of Beebe Healthcare. But the technological advances in nursing being added within the walls of the $10 million expansion of the 93-year-old school are far less obvious. Yet, they will have an important impact on the ongoing quality of the nurses’ education. One of the most fascinating technologies will be found in the high-fidelity medical simulators that come in the form of computerized manikins. These wireless manikins look like people and can be programmed to produce the symptoms of chronic disease, acute illness, or medical event for which the nurses need to be prepared. The manikins’ hearts pound and flutter. Their blood pressure plummets and they can gasp for breath from an asthma attack. “They are an excellent way for students to learn new skills,” explains longtime nurse and instructor Joy Bartell, MSN, RN, CNE. “Students are able to practice high-anxiety skills in a safe environment. They don’t have to worry about hurting a patient while they are learning.” Even though nursing students have many clinical experiences in patient-care settings, they often don’t get the opportunity to experience patient situations for which they need to be prepared. “For example, students need to see a child having a severe asthma attack or a seizure. They may never have the opportunity to see that in clinicals. However, with the simulator, they can learn to recognize and evaluate the symptoms and how to react quickly.” Joan Thomas, RN, MS, FACHE, Special Consultant to Beebe President and CEO Jeffrey M. Fried, says that the technology also helps students to improve their performance and proficiency, and it better prepares them for a healthcare environment that is continually becoming more complex. This new technology is being added as the school is updating and revising its curriculum, says Karen Pickard, MSN, RN, CNE, the School’s Program Administrator. Classes will be held in the new building in the Fall 2015 semester, which will begin in August 2015. “Students are able to practice highanxiety skills in a safe environment. They don’t have to worry about hurting a patient while they are learning.” —Joy Bartell, MSN, RN, CNE BEEBE HEALTHCARE / BEEBEHEALTHCARE.ORG 7 CATCHING YOUR BREATH Beebe Offers the Latest Radiofrequency Technology in the Treatment of Severe Asthma Until Sarah Bull was in her 40s, she had no problems breathing. Then one night, her throat seemed to close up on her and she couldn’t catch her breath. For the next 20 years, she was plagued by the coughing and wheezing and breathlessness of asthma. She took a laundry list of medications but still suffered serious attacks. Since she and her husband Bobby live adjacent to farm fields just outside the city of Millsboro, they made 8 BEACON / OCTOBER 2014 sure that the doors and windows in their house were closed and that the air conditioning always ran in the summer months. Her coughing and wheezing often made her feel weak as she gasped for air. “I love people and I didn’t want to stay home,” she says, adding that she kept as busy as she could. Sarah ran Sarah’s Loving Care day care in her home for 12½ years for people who worked at the Pinnacle Foods plant Sarah Bull suffered for years with debilitating asthma attacks until last year when fellowship-trained pulmonologist Vikas Batra, MD, performed a new procedure called bronchial thermoplasty on her. While she still takes medications, she says she no longer suffers from serious attacks. before it closed. She and Bobby raised three sons. She is still active in the outreach ministries for the Pentecostal Church in Millsboro, near her home. But the asthma attacks wore on her and seemed to be getting worse each time. Then, in the spring of 2013, Lewes pulmonologist Vikas Batra, MD, suggested that they might try a new treatment on her called bronchial thermoplasty. “Bronchial thermoplasty is a treatment option for people who have severe, persistent asthma and who are not getting better with Vikas Batra, MD, is assisted by specialized clinicians when he performs the bronchial thermoplasty procedure in the operating room. He is pictured here in the pink shirt with some of those who assist him: far right, Caryn B. Chasanov, NP, the nurse practitioner in his private practice; from front left, Beebe Healthcare respiratory therapists Joanne Hoffman, RRT, Lois Podedworny, RRT, and Rudy Daisey, RRT; and the Respiratory Manager who oversees the team, Chris Steele, RRT. usual medications,” Dr. Batra explains. “It is not a cure. But studies have been showing that it causes a decrease in the number and severity of asthma attacks.” The AIR2 Clinical trial demonstrated that 32 percent of patients who finished the trial had fewer severe attacks, 66 percent had fewer missed days of work, and 84 percent had a reduction in emergency room visits compared with the year before the treatment. The AIR2 5 year follow-up which was published in Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology in December 2013, showed that the results seen at year one were maintained over 5 years. Studies are continuing. Asthma is a chronic lung disease that can cause the airways to narrow so that less oxygen flows into the lungs. Uncontrolled asthma is serious, as it can cause permanent damage to the airways. Symptoms are wheezing, tightness in the chest, coughing, and shortness of breath. There is no cure, but there are medications that can help manage it. Dr. Batra, who is Board Certified in Pulmonary Medicine and Critical Care Medicine, and fellowship-trained in Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine, is certified to perform the bronchial thermoplasty procedure. Bronchial thermoplasty uses a bronchoscope to insert a radiofrequency device into the patient’s airways that heats the smooth muscle in the airways to lessen the constriction. The procedure, which includes three sessions that take place a few weeks apart, is performed in the operating room. The patient is deeply sedated and usually goes home the same day. There is no incision. Dr. Batra works with a specialized team that includes nurse practitioner Caryn B. Chasanov, an anesthesiologist, and a respiratory therapist. Dr. Batra has been performing the procedure at Beebe Healthcare since early 2013. He was the first pulmonologist on Delmarva to use the technology. Beebe pulmonologists Ercilia E. Arias, MD, and Victor Banzon, MD, also are certified to perform bronchial thermoplasty. Dr. Batra says that he is closely monitoring his patients’ results, and their outcomes match those of the clinical trials. Sarah says that she can see a real difference in how she feels. “It’s done a lot,” she says, a year after her treatment. “I haven’t had an asthma attack like I used to have.” Now 65 years old, Sarah says she still takes medicine, and she still doesn’t know what she is allergic to, but she is feeling much better than she has for years. BRONCHIAL THERMOPLASTY Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is an outpatient bronchoscopy procedure that uses radiofrequency to reduce excessive smooth muscle in the airways. During an asthma attack, this muscle constricts the airways, making breathing difficult. BT reduces the amount of excess muscle and helps minimize the narrowing of airways during an asthma attack. The Procedure Bronchial thermoplasty at Beebe Healthcare is performed by a Board Certified pulmonologist together with a specialized team that includes an anesthesiologist, a respiratory therapist, and a nurse practitioner in an operating room. The treatment consists of three consecutive sessions, each about an hour long and separated by three or four weeks. The patient is deeply sedated. In each session, the pulmonologist focuses on a different part of the lungs. The pulmonologist introduces a special device into the patient’s airways through a bronchoscope. A bronchoscope is a long, flexible tube with a camera on one end that allows the physician to see inside the airways. No incision is required. Following the procedure, the patient is monitored for two to four hours and usually goes home the same day. Results Bronchial thermoplasty decreases the severity and frequency of asthma attacks. It does not eliminate the need for medication, nor does it have any impact on the patient’s allergies. Benefit vs. Risk In clinical trials, 79% of patients treated with BT reported significant improvements in their asthma-related quality of life-including a reduction in asthma attacks, ER visits, and hospitalizations for respiratory symptoms and days missed from work or school. Additionally, in follow up trial*, results seen at year 1, were maintained for 5 years. As with any procedure, there are risks, and individual results may vary. The most common side effect of bronchial thermoplasty is temporary worsening of respiratory-related symptoms. There is a 3.4 percent risk per procedure that these adverse symptoms will require hospitalization. *Results were reported in the December 2013 issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology in the story “Bronchial thermoplasty: Long-term safety and effectiveness in patients with severe persistent asthma.” As part of the bronchial thermoplasty procedure, a special device is introduced into the patient’s airways through a bronchoscope. The device heats the smooth muscle in the airways to lessen the constriction. Images provided courtesy of Boston Scientific Corporation. BEEBE HEALTHCARE / BEEBEHEALTHCARE.ORG 9 CELEBRATING A CENTURY OF CARE Beebe Medical Foundation is leading the effort to collect historic information about Beebe. Pictured here looking at stacks of old photographs are left to right, Leanne Prosser, who is coordinating Beebe Healthcare’s 100th anniversary celebrations, and Beebe longtime supporters Christine Strauss Moore and Jan McCarty. 10 BEACON / OCTOBER 2014 Excitement Builds Over Beebe’s Upcoming Century Celebrations I n 2016, Beebe will celebrate its 100th anniversary, and Beebe Healthcare hopes to energize the community with a year of events that include both historical activities and modernday preventive health educational programs. Jan McCarty, Christine Strauss Moore, and a committee of volunteers are leading the celebration planning that has already begun and will continue to build throughout 2015. “Beebe has an incredible and important history,” says Mrs. McCarty, a longtime Beebe Board of Directors member and community business leader. She and Moore already have been looking at early 20th-century photographs that Lewes historian Hazel Brittingham has collected. Historic medical memorabilia also is being categorized and eventually will be shared with the public. “In my 20 years on the Board, I have seen the tremendous growth and expansion of Beebe, and more importantly, the expansion of very notable, award-winning healthcare services,” Mrs. McCarty says. “We want everyone at Beebe, everyone in the community, and everyone touched by Beebe to be involved in this yearlong celebration.” Mrs. Moore, a prominent real estate agent in the Lewes and Rehoboth area, was excited to join the committee planning the events. Mrs. Moore is a member of the Beebe Medical Foundation Board of Ambassadors and has served as the chairperson for the Art Auction and Beebe Ball, events that raise funds to support Beebe Healthcare programs and services. “I am learning so much about Beebe’s history,” Mrs. Moore says. “It’s an amazing story that I am very excited to tell.” Leanne Prosser, known by many in the local community for her expertise in event planning, is coordinating the celebrations. “Beebe is the center of this community,” she says. “The care Beebe gives is something to be celebrated.” The committee hopes to share Beebe’s history and future plans with the community in a meaningful way. So far, many community members have been excited to get involved. “We hope to focus on Beebe’s history, where we are now, and on our bright future,” Mrs. Prosser says. The Beebe Medical Foundation also is promoting the new 1916 Club, established earlier this year. Created in honor of the founding year of Beebe, members generously contribute $1,916 annually to the Foundation. Gifts can be designated to a specific department of your choice, and your support in this club helps us save and change lives daily. Members will be invited to a special breakfast with Beebe leadership. They will take a private tour of the hospital, be recognized on the Wall of Honor located at the Medical Center in Lewes, and receive 1916 lapel pins and car magnets/decals. To learn more about getting involved in the 100th anniversary celebration, or about the 1916 Club, please contact the Beebe Medical Foundation at (302) 644-2900. In 2016, Beebe will celebrate its 100th anniversary, and Beebe Healthcare hopes to energize the community with a year of events that include both historical activities and modern-day preventive health educational programs. Built by the Beebe brothers themselves, this small structure was the birthplace of Beebe Hospital. Drs. James and Richard Beebe constructed the hospital on cement blocks, and inside its walls there was just enough space for two patient rooms and an office. The brothers were joined by a staff of two nurses and Dr. James Beebe’s wife Elsie, who did all the cooking for the hospital. BEEBE HEALTHCARE / BEEBEHEALTHCARE.ORG 11 WAYS TO GIVE TO BEEBE HEALTHCARE Beebe Medical Foundation is located in the former historic home of Dr. Richard Beebe, who co-founded Beebe Healthcare in 1916 with his brother Dr. James Beebe.

The milestone also recognizes the generosity of our community that has helped Beebe Hospital develop into Beebe Healthcare. Beebe Healthcare denotes Beebe’s new role in our community of not only providing excellence in care for the sick but helping to prevent illness through preventive care and education. Beebe Medical Foundation has established the new 1916 Club in honor of Beebe’s founding. Members of the club donate $1,916 or more each year for the Annual Fund. These leadership gifts support our commitment to extraordinary care and services for our patients delivered by dedicated healthcare professionals.

The 25th Anniversary Best of the Beach Art Auction, Dinner, and Dance raised $104,140 to provide a Simulation Trainer manikin for the new Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing. A Simulation Trainer is a manikin and software system that performs and reacts like a real-life patient. Using a Simulation manikin provides students the opportunity to participate in a multitude of clinical circumstances including high-anxiety situations in a safe learning environment.

The goal of the Jean & Joan Fund is to assist the Tunnell Cancer Center in providing care and comfort for patients. This year the tournament raised $25,000.

BACK TO SCHOOL Don’t Let Children Start Life With a Bad Back More than half of all school-age children are carrying backpacks that are too heavy for them; 64 percent of students aged 11–15 experience back pain due to heavy backpacks. Alice Workman, OTR/L, an occupational therapist with Beebe Healthcare Rehab Services, sees students who are experiencing back issues as a result of wearing heavy backpacks. “Occupational therapists educate students on proper body mechanics, types of backpacks available, and the most appropriate backpack for the student,” Workman says. As part of National School Backpack Awareness Day, the third Wednesday in September, Beebe Healthcare wants to make sure students are safe. Here are some backpack safety tips: • Backpacks should weigh less than 10 percent of a student’s body weight. • Consider using a wheeled backpack. • Use both straps to evenly distribute the weight. • Adjust the shoulder straps so the backpack rests snugly on the student’s back—it should not sag. • The bottom of the backpack should not be more than four inches below the waistline. • Load the heaviest items closest to the student’s back. Be safe this school year! The Beacon is published by Beebe Healthcare to present health information to the people of Sussex County.
