But in this edition of Medcen Happenings, quite the opposite is true. Our editorial team began each of these interviews with a straightforward, five word question: How has cancer touched you? The answers, as varied as snowflakes, all reflect personal and touching involvements. What connects them, however, is each responder has taken inspiration from their personal experiences to become a leader in the Fund-Raising Campaign for the Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute at the Medical Center of Central Georgia. Our patients, their families, our local community and the state are all the better because of the answers. We are so proud of our donor and volunteer leaders because without them this campaign would never be possible much less successful. Philanthropic leadership assumes many different forms and styles; yet, it is unified by a shared vision and a committed discipline to do what needs to be done to make that vision a reality. As you will read in the following pages that which motivates our leaders varies from expertise, to altruism, to sound business, to personal tributes, to collegial experiences, to divine inspiration, to countless permutations of some and all of the above. Whatever the motivators, our leaders are always in the throes of www.medcenfoundation.org what’s happening. They are not looking on from afar. They are involved and they want to tell everyone who will listen how and why they are involved. Hence, those who tell their stories in this edition are making the Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute happen! All the leaders featured understand how philanthropy impacts lives now and for generations to come. They identify ways to move around obstacles such as our current economic climate. They have responded by being even more generous, more committed and more innovative, while always remaining focused on the larger strategic plan of our Healthcare Community and our Hospital-- to provide world class cancer care and research close to home. Our patients will no longer be required to travel long distances to receive cancer treatments, access the most current technologies or utilize research protocols. Our leaders do not shy away from answering questions and they enjoy telling their stories. They are good communicators and great ambassadors. We are ever so grateful for their commitment to this cause. I invite you to read their responses and to be motivated by their examples. I also reach out to ask: How has cancer touched your life? I hope your answers will motivate you to become philanthropic leaders as well. - Ethel Cullinan Medcen Happenings 3 The Auxiliary For over thirty years our amazing auxiliary has cared for patients and families dealing with cancer. In the early 1980’s they raised the funds needed to build a Love and Laughter Room, which is located on the 9th floor as part of our Cancer Life Center. This room is a beautiful place for families and friends to gather while caring for their loved one. In March of this year, the Auxiliary demonstrated their desire to once again change lives by pledging $100,000 to the Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute capital campaign. Matilda Walker, current President of the Auxiliary states “There’s not a one of us volunteers who has not been touched by cancer. We really wanted to be involved in ensuring this Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute becomes a reality for the communities and patients we serve.” While volunteers can be traced back to the opening of the Medical Center in 1895 (then known as The Macon Hospital), the Auxiliary organization began in 1962. Hundreds of volunteers donating thousands of hours each year make our community hospital the best. 4 Medcen Happenings Changing Lives Through Advancing Cancer Care By:Ellen terrell On the floors, they give of their time and talents bringing comfort and companionship to our patients while also assisting hospital personnel with many non-clinical duties. One might wonder how they have also been able to donate close to $2 million to ensure world-class care is provided to the citizens of central Georgia. This began with the Pink Pinafore Gift Shop which opened in 1963 and remained in operation for 25 years. When the gift shop closed in 1988, the Auxiliary took the items “on the road” via a gift cart service which you will see up and down the hallways of the hospital carrying snacks and small gift items to employees and visitors alike. The Auxiliary also raises funds through periodic uniform sales which they host at the hospital, and last but not least, a long time tradition is oversight of the program which takes our newborn babies first photo. On behalf of everyone in this community who has been touched by the Auxiliary’s generosity and those who will be touched by the Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute, we thank our auxilians for their service to the Medical Center of Central Georgia and for their generous gift to this project. SUMMER 2011 John Draughon Donates Major Gift to New Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute By: Debbie Schuchmann Sell & Melton, L.L.P. was formed in 1980 from the merger of two firms whose histories date back as far as the 1930’s and 1950’s, respectively. A common thread running in their predecessor organizations and in the current firm is a culture of community involvement and philanthropy. As such, because The Medical Center of Central Georgia is the only not-for-profit community hospital in Macon, over the years Sell & Melton has chosen to support several campaigns, thus ensuring top quality healthcare is available to all patients and families. The many contributions from Sell & Melton range from smaller gifts made in honor of an employee’s new child to larger gifts designated for a particular building campaign. Visiting with this impressive group of leaders, which included Mitchel P. House, Jr., Ed S. Sell, III, John A. Draughon, Sr., R. Chix Miller, Julia H. Magda, Blake E. Lisenby, and Aimee J. Hall (Jefferey B. Hanson and Jon R. Hawk were unable to attend), you could sense their sincerity and concern about healthcare in Central and South Georgia. Several of them were born at The Medical Center, or have children who were born at The Medical Center, and all are familiar with the devastating effects of a cancer diagnosis. For one it was a first wife who had died from colon and liver cancer and a father-in-law who died of the same cancers. For another it was a young client who had fought a long battle with breast cancer. As each one present reflected on family and friends who had or have cancer, - a stillness seemed to come over the room. The conversation then took a brighter turn as they began discussing the many reasons they chose to give a major gift to support the new Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute (CCRI). Hope was a www.medcenfoundation.org driving force behind their decision; hope that the CCRI will become a destination for cancer treatment and even develop a major league reputation such as the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota or even the legendary Packers in tiny Green Bay, Michigan (both “major league” organizations found in smaller cities). While discussing the magnitude of this effort, CCRI’s - affiliation with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) was mentioned. Having a relationship with UAB presents incredible advantages for our patients and their families. Increased access to clinical trials and second opinions will be a tremendous boost to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Physicians and medical students alike will have a direct line to the research being conducted at UAB, which receives over $150 million a year for research alone. This level of research is far and above anything The Medical Center has had in the past. These attorneys all expressed a hope and expectation for the future and economic growth in our community. It’s a well known fact that companies view the availability of quality healthcare as a critical factor when assessing communities for relocation and expansion opportunities. Just by virtue of adding new programs and services, CCRI will attract the best and brightest physicians, nurses, techs, and all other necessary support staff, resulting in – the “best and the brightest times three” according to Ed Sell, III, who pointed out the fact that a hospital is open 24/7/365, necessitating three shifts of employees. Additionally, patients undergoing cancer care may have months of treatments and procedures; their families and loved ones will be with them and will eat at our restaurants, purchase gas, use our pharmacies, and stay in our hotels. This activity can only lead to a positive impact on our economy while we strive for positive outcomes in cancer diagnosis and treatment at CCRI. Asked if there were anything else they would like to say to other businesses considering making a gift to the Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute, John Draughon, who is serving his ninth year on the Board of Trustees of the Medcen Foundation, stated he would like to remind others of the real value of philanthropic dollars. He went on to explain that each dollar donated is equal to twenty dollars saved in providing goods and services. In other words, at a 5% operating margin, for the hospital to net $1 million, its professionals would have to deliver $20 million in services. Our visit ended with the team expressing their overwhelming trust in The Medical Center as an anchor in our community. They agreed it provides excellent healthcare and echoed their commitment to making it a premier hospital in the state and the country. Sincere thanks go to this unique group of leaders at Sell & Melton for their gift and for their belief in The Medical Center to move forward even in the tough times. Their gift will make a huge impact on many patients and families served in the new Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute. Please consider making your own gift to the Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute. You can contact Debbie Schuchmann at 478/633-6151 or [email protected] to discuss how you would like to give and/or get involved with this exciting campaign to change the face of cancer care in Central and South Georgia forever. Medcen Happenings 5 Technology to Transform Your Business Joins Business & Corporate Honor Roll in Support for Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute cutting-edge treatments will be a tremendous benefit to those suffering with cancer. Not only from the patient and family perspective, but from a business perspective as well.” Bright, energetic, focused ~ just a few words which come to mind when thinking about Robert C. Betzel, President & CEO and his brother, Brian Betzel, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing of their company, Infinity Network Solutions, Inc. They are our newest addition to the Business & Corporate Honor Roll, the giving society which recognizes those businesses who partner with the Medical Center of Central Georgia with a generous gift of $10,000, $25,000, or $50,000. Other than his first child being born at the Medical Center, one of Robert (Rob) Betzel’s first encounters with the Medical Center was as a guest at one of the Business & Corporate Roundtables. Don Faulk, CEO of Central Georgia Health Systems and The Medical Center of Central Georgia spoke to area leaders about the state of healthcare at national and local levels. He also gave an overview of the Hospital’s strategic plan and top priorities. The meeting Rob attended included information about plans for the new Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute. As Rob listened intently to these plans, you could see the light go on as he connected the dots between the importance of highly advanced cancer care and the major economic significance it will bring. 6 Medcen Happenings Rob Betzel and Brian Betzel After a follow-up meeting with Rob, he asked for more information regarding the new facility. One just knew he was ready to invest in something of this magnitude and breadth. However, he wasn’t going to make any commitments on behalf of his business until meeting with his brother, Brian. Although the two brothers don’t look too much alike, they talk and sound very much alike and most importantly, as business partners, they share a vision and set of values for their business and for the communities where they work. This is where the Cancer Institute comes into play. Committed to building a company culture which supports the community in which they live, work, and play, Rob and Brian are excited about helping the Medical Center, which will, according to Rob, “have an effect on their family, their employees, and on the local economy.” As they were sharing with me their company philosophy and the benefits of this alliance, they reflected on their employees, some of whom have battled cancer. “We’ve had employees who had to take off work for months for treatments.” explains Rob, “Brian and I have lived and breathed the acute stress associated with often times, rigorous cancer treatment plans. To have a facility in our own community which can provide top quality, So what is Infinity Network Solutions, Inc. and what do they do? Rob started the business in January 2000 in Milledgeville and Brian came on board in August 2001 after graduating from The University of Georgia. What they do, to put it quite simply, is to offer full service IT support. They design, install, and maintain computer network systems for businesses. Their designs incorporate the need for business continuity and a recovery process for the organizations they serve. Rob and Brian already have their 2012 plans in place and continually look for ways to improve. When asked about their long-term goals, they agreed it is to be the best IT organization in Central Georgia. However, they were quick to clarify they want to be the best for the community, not just for themselves! How refreshing is that?! When asked what they would say to other local and regional business leaders considering making a gift to the Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute, the response from Rob was instantaneous, “We’re responsible for our own economic development. This Cancer Center will have a huge impact on you, your family, your employees ~ direct or indirect, I feel strongly it will have a huge impact.” If you would like to learn more about the new Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute or become involved, please contact Debbie Schuchmann at 478/633-6151 or [email protected]. SUMMER 2011 CEO Roundtable: The Business Community, the Medical Center of Central Georgia, & Cancer Care By: Debbie Schuchmann Think the Business Community, the Medical Center of Central Georgia and Cancer Care don’t go together? Think again. According to the American Cancer Society, over 40,000 Georgians will be newly diagnosed with Cancer this calendar year. Most cancer therapies require multiple, consecutive days of treatment. Cancer patients usually require six to eight consecutive weeks of radiation and/or chemotherapy. These treatments are emotionally and physically taxing, making traveling distances and multiple trips difficult. Standing among almost fifty business leaders, including Mayor Robert Reichert, and welcoming them to our most recent Business & Corporate Roundtable held on Tuesday, August 30, 2011, it became very clear how business, the Hospital and Cancer Care connect. Attendees at the luncheon, featuring Don Faulk, CEO, Central Georgia Health Systems and The Medical Center of Central Georgia, and guest speaker, Warren Smedley, Executive Director, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Cancer Care Network, engaged in conversations about the availability of Cancer Care. Most of the attendees had experienced friends and employees undergoing cancer treatments and were well aware of the time out of work and distress associated with their care. After Mr. Faulk welcomed the group and reiterated the hospital’s decision to build a Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute, he introduced Mr. Smedley who provided an excellent overview of the many benefits associated with the recently announced formal affiliation between UAB and The Medical Center of Central Georgia. Mr. Smedley first addressed the question many have asked: Why UAB? UAB has a 40 year history as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. Since 1970, UAB has been Alabama’s primary clinical, academic, and research center for cancer services. Almost 40 years ago,in 1972, the National Cancer Institute designated UAB as one of the original 8 NCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers. UAB is the only NCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in the heart of the Deep South including Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, and South Carolina. UAB has over 350 faculty members conducting research and providing comprehensive cancer care, each on specific diseases. UAB receives over $150M in annual research funding. www.medcenfoundation.org Mr. Smedley went on to explain the purpose of the affiliation is to pursue high quality patient outcomes, promote optimal patient satisfaction, to share best practices in cancer care, to collaborate on cancer research and clinical trials, to promote early detection and treatment and to keep patients close to home. It’s not hard to figure out this partnership is a giant step for The Medical Center and will have a vast impact on the local and regional economy as patients will be able to access top quality first and second line cancer care and therapies without having to travel long distances separating them from family, work, and home. If you’re still contemplating how the business community and the community hospital connect, please keep in mind the quality and availability of medical care are consistently among the top reasons people rank a community as a desirable place to live. Our business leaders know this to be true and many already support The Medical Center through their membership in the Business & Corporate Honor Roll, Medcen’s corporate giving society. They understand the vital link between the success of their businesses and having a healthy community hospital, one which continuously strives to offer the best patient and family care possible. Please contact Debbie Schuchmann at 478/633-6151 or [email protected] for more information about how your business can get involved with supporting the new Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute of the Medical Center of Central Georgia. Guest Speaker Warren Sunedley, Executive Director, University of UAB Cancer Care Network and Nancy White, RN, Director Oncology Services, MCCG. Medcen Happenings 7 8 Medcen Happenings SUMMER 2011 H.E.A.T. Supports Cancer Care Close to Home and Much More. By: Ellen Terrell Last fall the Medical Center’s employee giving program, H.E.A.T. (Healthcare Employees Achieving Tomorrow), raised over $1.6 million in its tri-annual campaign. $300,000 of those funds have been pledged to the Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute. Another portion of the funds raised through H.E.A.T. helps support local charities and smaller hospital projects each year through a grant process. Any healthcare related, not-for-profit agency can submit a grant application to the H.E.A.T. Trust Fund. As you look through the list of grant awards below, you will notice that many of these are focused on cancer care. Linda Clay, chair of the HEAT Committee states, “Fighting the disease of cancer, which has taken so many of our friends and family, is the reason the HEAT Trust Fund supports the organizations battling this horrible disease.” I am so proud to know that my few dollars along with those of other HEAT members have purchased a car seat that saved a baby’s life, made possible a class that steered a teenager back to school, and offered special pillows to help an asthmatic child sleep easier. I look around CGHS and see HEAT projects in so many places, a nursery expansion, a hospice and so much more. It is exciting to know that I have made a difference. Patricia Dunaway, B.S.

For more information on the Callaway Society, please call Ellen Terrell at 478-633-7396 or [email protected] The Young Professional NetworK The Young Professional Network of The Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce recently hosted an After Hours Event at The Children’s Hospital at The Medical Center of Central Georgia. The event was sponsored by Logan Persons Weaver, Butler Automotive Group, The Trading Post and Mid Georgia Sales. There were over 50 people in attendance to learn more about The Children’s Hospital and the direction in which it is headed. Don Faulk welcomed everyone and introduced Dr. Josh Glenn, one of the newest Pediatric Surgeons. Dr. Glenn shared the amazing story of Amare Walker. Early into her pregnancy, with Amare, Tyricia Walker, of Macon, was sent to Dr. Mark Boddy, a fetal and maternal perinatologist who specializes in high-risk pregnancy. Her situation was dire – the baby maturing inside of her was growing, but with a large tumor the size of his head attached to his neck. Because the tumor was growing along with the baby, at 37 weeks, Tyricia delivered by cesarean section. With baby and mother still attached via umbilical cord, an ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure was performed by a team of subspecialists. (Physicians that made up the team include ENT physicians, pediatric surgeons, a neonatologist, perinatologist and pediatric radiologist.) Immediately the baby had to have his airway secured because the tumor was constricting his ability to breath. The baby was moved to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at The Children’s Hospital at The Medical Center of Central Georgia to be stabilized. Within two days, pediatric 12 Medcen Happenings surgeons removed the 13-ounce tumor. Subsequent surgeries have also been performed. Had it not been for the expertise of these subspecialists and the services provided by The Children’s Hospital and Women’s Services at The Medical Center of Central Georgia, Ms. Walker and her baby, Amare, would have had to travel to hospitals in Boston or Philadelphia for these complicated procedures. To share the ending of this miraculous story, Amare was discharged home with mom and dad on October 5th! After Dr. Glenn shared the story of Amare, Nikki Paulk, Assistant Vice President of Women’s and Children’s Services gave an update on The Children’s Hospital. At the end of the event, guests were offered tours of The Children’s Hospital, including our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, our newly expanded Pediatric Critical Care Unit, and our General Pediatric Unit. Many did take the opportunity to see firsthand what an amazing, world class facility we have right here in our local community! It was a wonderful event that helped build a bridge between local businesses and The Children’s Hospital. SUMMER 2011 Sybil Eastburn (seated center) and family Wimberly Treadwell and Ashley Coplan Planned Giving: Cambridge Courtyard Garden at Carlyle Place Becomes a Family Legacy By: Debbie Schuchmann It’s easy sometimes to feel as if the term “legacy” is overused or perhaps it seems a bit formal, but standing in the middle of a newly landscaped garden with four generations of the same family brings the term “legacy” to life. Have you thought of making a family legacy, one which would serve others for generations to come? Of course there are many ways to generate a family legacy. Some can be made to have an immediate impact while others can be planned far in advance through estate or planned giving. Both are vital to ensuring high quality healthcare is available to all now and in the future. The recent legacy gift was one of an immediate nature. An investment was made to give the Cambridge Courtyard Garden a “facelift.” There are several means of designing a legacy gift for the Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute such as through your will, a trust, life insurance policy, or by funding a life-income gift, such as a charitable gift annuity. Just like planning a beautiful garden, you have to begin long before planting season to know which plants you want to grow. So it is with planning a deferred gift, a signature gift in which you add stability and long-term funding to the CCRI (or any other service such as Carlyle Place, The Children’s Hospital, the Luce Heart Institute, or Pine Point Hospice of Central Georgia). Seeing a dream turn to reality is a real privilege. Here is just a peek into the events which led to the Cambridge Court Garden Legacy. Several months ago, Ashley Coplan, granddaughter of Mrs. Sybil Eastburn, resident at Carlyle Place, contacted Medcen Foundation asking if she could make a donation to Cambridge Court Courtyard in order to add some new plants and outdoor furniture and accessories. Happy to help her, we immediately met at the small garden connected to Cambridge Court to begin planning for its revitalization. While walking along a winding path, Ashley shared with me how she used to visit her grandfather, Mr. Ray Eastburn, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, and she would lead him outside to this small garden where he enjoyed the outdoors. The garden itself was nothing spectacular, but it became very special to a granddaughter and her grandfather. Other www.medcenfoundation.org Alzheimer’s patients would go too and soon they would look forward to Ashley’s visits as well. Mr. Eastburn is now deceased, but Ashley continues to visit her grandmother. She became aware that the garden is in full view from her grandmother’s room and she remembered how much the time spent outdoors meant to her grandfather and the other residents. These fond memories prompted her to want to ensure it became a place of rest, peace, and pleasure for others in the future. That she has done. With the help of her good friend, Wimberly Treadwell, a licensed landscape architect, a plan was developed and the actual planting was installed this past summer. The result was a beautiful, peaceful garden planned especially for Alzheimer’s patients. Filled with bright flowering plants, trees and bushes, it is now a thriving garden. A beautiful urn turned into a fountain presides in the center island, lantana attracts butterflies around the periphery, and birdfeeders attract cardinals and chickadees. Naturally, there is seating and a glider for residents; there are even planters available for those residents who still like to plant for seasonal color. It was a very proud moment for the family when longtime friend and minister, Dr. Donald Key, closed the ceremony with a blessing on the garden. Mrs. Eastburn can now look out on the garden, think of her beloved husband and family, and know in her heart countless others will enjoy walking the same shaded pathway, listening to peaceful sounds of water softly gurgling, and smelling the blooms of the season. Want to plan for leaving your own legacy for the new Comprehensive Cancer & Research Institute or another project near and dear to your heart, while helping The Medical Center of Central Georgia meet the future needs of our patients and their families? Please contact Debbie Schuchmann at 478/633-6151 or [email protected] to schedule a time to discuss how to design a gift which will be of benefit to you, your family and countless others.
