Over 250 MLH Associates participated in the 2009 Memphis Start! Heart
Walk at AutoZone Park. MLH raised $58,771.67 for the American Heart
Association. The MLH team showed up in force again at the Start! Heart
Walk -- even some four-legged friends got in the spirit.
Several hundred people attended Methodist South’s Fall Health Fair,
which featured a two-mile community walk, health education booths,
free screenings, games, food, and family fun. Methodist South Associate, Robin Potter, RN, demonstrates that it’s never too early to
start teaching healthy habits as she talks to one of the health fair’s
youngest attendees.
Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare partnered with the Mid-South Food Bank
to help end hunger in the Mid-South
through Operation Feed, a workplace
food and funds drive. Food and funds
raised are distributed in 31 counties in
west Tennessee, north Mississippi and
east Arkansas.

The Associate Campaign benefits the Humanitarian
Fund, a resource available to Methodist Associates who
find themselves in need of emergency financial assistance. The Humanitarian Fund, begun in 1976, offers hope to Associates who experience life-shattering
tragedies. House fires, burglaries, deaths in the family, weather-related incidents or loss of wages due to a
prolonged illness are some of the situations Associates
faced this past year. More than 930 grants were issued
to over 300 Associates in 2009 alone.
Associates (l-r) Jessica Utley, Mallory Himelrick, and
Kimberly Ross prep the site for Methodist North Associates to begin “building generosity” at their 2010 Associate Campaign kick-off.

Nurses from Same Day Surgery at Methodist University Hospital
filled five backpacks with binders, dictionaries, thesauruses and other school supplies to help some deserving Memphis students. The
backpacks were donated to Youth Visions, a program that aids in
bringing resolution to our youth’s problems by meeting their spiritual,
academic, and social needs. In addition to the school supplies, the
nurses also placed a personal note in each backpack to encourage
the student and let them know that there are Associates at Methodist
who care about them.

from the school’s Eagle’s Nest incentive store. The store was developed to
allow students with good grades, attendance, and most improved status
on their report cards to earn “Eagle Bucks” and a chance to shop for a
variety of school supplies and toys, some of which were donated by MLH.
The MLH Print Shop also donated the printing of the “Eagle Bucks” to
Norris Road. MLH has been an adopt-a-school partner for Norris Road
(formerly Dunn Elementary) through the Memphis City Schools adopt-aschool program for over 25 years.

Sarla Lewis & Jordan Nichols
Sarla Lewis is a yoga instructor with a deep appreciation for the
miracle of the human body and the power of the human mind. But
she’s never been a big fan of doctors or hospitals. That all changed
in early January 2010. She and her husband Jimmy were travelling in
Pennsylvania when she got a late night call that her son, Jordan, had
been rushed to the hospital after passing out while with friends.
They were back in Memphis by noon the next day to find Jordan in
an induced coma in the ICU at Methodist University Hospital. “This
is when I began to feel really grateful for the people at Methodist,”
Sarla says.
Jordan’s diagnosis was suggested by a medical student who
happened to be on hand and had been studying Brugada Syndrome,
a rare genetic condition affecting young men and characterized by
abnormal EKG and a risk of sudden cardiac death. “The way you
know you have this disease is you die,” Sarla says.
But thanks to the quick thinking of many, Jordan didn’t die. And Sarla’s
family’s experience at the hospital has endeared her to Methodist
Le Bonheur Healthcare for life.
“The people in the ICU were just amazing,” she said. “Over and over
again, people just treated us with such kindness.”
The experience has changed her outlook on medicine. And Jordan
says he’s back to nearly 100 percent, even resuming work as an
actor at Playhouse on the Square. “I don’t have a lot of memory
around being in the hospital,” he says, “but I do know that the doctors
and nurses gave care that was above and beyond what anyone in my
family expected. They were very reassuring to my family and they let
them know it was all going to be all right.”
His mom agrees. “It was really just a powerful experience.”
“ Family members are the primary source of support for a patient.
Every touchpoint is being examin ed with the goal of ensuring the
best patient experience. We’re committed to setting the standard for
compassionate patient- and family-centered care. “
–Michelle Collis, Vice President
Patient- and Family-Centered Care, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare
Partnering with Patients and Families
Creates Powerful Medicine
Patient- and Family-Centered Care
Treating patients as well as their families
Imagine a healthcare setting where the family member can be by the side of the patient,
providing comfort, support and vital information for recovery. They are part of the healing process, collaborating with caregivers to determine the best possible care for the patient. Patients and family members are more engaged in the healing process, are more
familiar with the level of care needed for recovery and are better prepared to provide the
necessary care after the patient is discharged from the hospital.
At Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, the spirit of healing has been our strength for the better part of a century. As a faith-based healthcare organization, we have
a unique culture that understands that healing involves
more than treating specific symptoms. A philosophy of
patient-and family-centered care embraces our vision
of delivering outstanding care to each patient.
Patient-and family-centered care is an approach to
the planning, delivery and evaluation of healthcare
that is grounded in mutually beneficial partner-
ships among patients, families and healthcare providers. It’s an entire culture of
service built on the following principles:
• Dignity and respect for the family
• Complete and unbiased information sharing in ways that are affirming and useful
• Family participation in care planning and delivery
• Family collaboration with clinicians in policies, procedures and staff education
Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare is committed to equal partnerships with our patients
and their families to create a truly special care environment. To ensure this commitment,
we are enlisting advisors, called Patient and Family Partners, to provide guidance and
input. These partners help us view the world through their unique and important perspectives by participating in work groups on special projects, sitting on a special hospital steering committee or simply providing input during patient- and family-centered
care meetings.
By truly partnering with patients and families, we can improve care for all patients.

Speaking the Solution and Staying Faithful
The Center of Excellence
in Faith and Health
Helping to heal people, families and neighborhoods
Faith drives everything we do. The soul of our mission is an unconditional concern for our patients
and their families, and we believe there is always more that can be done, not only to treat people but
also to impact the quality of life for those in our community. Because of these beliefs, we are building
a Center of Excellence in Faith and Health, an engine of innovation and family care to support the
health and healing of our patients and their communities. The Center of Excellence in Faith and
Health is grounded in the principle that congregations can play a significant role in healthcare when
they are strategic partners in the their members’ health journeys.
As part of the Center of Excellence in Faith and Health, the Congregational Health Network (CHN),
was created. The CHN is an innovative program designed to build a special bond between Methodist
Le Bonheur Healthcare and patients by partnering with area churches. The CHN promotes wellness
and disease prevention, while also easing the transition from home to hospital and hospital to home
or another facility.
Playing an integral role in the success of the CHN are navigators, Methodist Le Bonheur Associates
who assist pastors and specially appointed congregational liaisons during a congregation member’s
stay at Methodist. Navigators make regular visits to their assigned churches and coordinate
educational health workshops and classes for congregation members.
More than 200 congregations throughout the Mid-South are part of the Congregational Health
Network.
To support this work, a physical home within the hospital is needed. To ensure that these vital
resources are just steps from patients and families, we are building The Center of Excellence in
Faith and Health in the heart of Methodist University Hospital. It will be an onsite and virtual learning
center, and upon its completion, services will extend into the city through the congregations and
neighborhoods.
“We truly believe we
can make a difference
in the overall health
and welln ess of the
community. This concept
is important for all parts
of the city that we serve
and from all economic
situations. Everyon e
n eeds people who care in
their lives.“

This remarkable endeavor will take funding and resources beyond the traditional healthcare
reimbursements. Your support of this unique effort could help change healthcare for all of us.

Ruby Tate
“We are trying to gather the wounded and let them know the love
of God,” says Ruby Tate of her work with the Congregational Health
Network and her church. For Ruby, a licensed ordained elder at the
Pursuit of God Transformation Center, a single congregation in two
locations with about 800 members, healing is what church and ministry
are all about.
“We collaborate with the church and the hospitals. We’re like the inbetween person helping them get the information and resources they
need to eliminate disparities.”
As the liaison, she is the link between her church and Methodist
Le Bonheur Healthcare. She also helps educate parishioners before
they become sick by providing information and resources for improved
health. Ruby and her CHN liaison counterparts in over 200 Memphis
congregations take their work seriously and are a valued part of the
healing team at Methodist.
“My motto is to speak the solution and not the problem. Pastor Floyd
ministered a series, being Focused, Faithful and Fruitful, if we remain
in this posture, together we can connect individuals to the needed
­resources to aid in decreasing disparities and increasing the life span
of many,” says Ruby.
Miracles Sometimes Come in Threes
“We didn’t know if she would make it. But, they kept
trying. They wouldn’t give up.“

Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital
Growing to meet the growing needs of patients and families for years to come
Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital has been providing outstanding care
to patients and their families for more than 20 years. As part of their commitment
to continuing to serve patients and families for generations to come, a $121 million
expansion project was started in May 2008 that added 218,000 square feet to the
hospital.
The new Women’s and Children’s Pavilion, which opened in February 2010, is part of
the hospital expansion project which includes 100 additional licensed beds, a 600space parking deck, and numerous renovations within the current hospital.
The Women’s and Children’s Pavilion offers:
• A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with 24 private rooms where parents can
remain with their newborn throughout their infant’s hospital stay.
• A neonatal specialist on staff 24/7.
• A 24/7 board certified OB hospitalist, making it the first facility in the Memphis area
to provide this specialty care for those times when the baby cannot wait and the
doctor has not yet arrived.
• Spacious labor and delivery rooms designed with the family in mind and equipped
for the ultimate in privacy, infant safety and comfort.
• A special Women’s Boutique providing a wide selection of lactation supplies.
• An underground tunnel connecting the Women’s
& Children’s Pavilion to the main hospital wing,
allowing for more efficient and easier flow of
patients, equipment and physicians around the
hospital campus.
• Additional women’s services such as massage therapy are being planned.
In addition to building the Pavilion, 100,000 square feet of the main hospital is
being renovated. The following renovations are currently under way to create:
• An expanded main entrance.
• Expanded areas for orthopaedics and surgery.
• Renovated patient rooms.
• An enlarged pharmacy department and respiratory therapy area.
• ICU will double in size from 8 to 16 beds, providing state-of-the-art care.
• Additional Cardiac Catheterization Lab, renovated CVICU and family waiting areas.
The construction of this much needed Women’s and Children’s Pavilion and the
renovations to the existing hospital building ensure that Methodist Le Bonheur
Germantown Hospital will continue to deliver miracles, memories, care and compassion
for years to come.

LaCourtn ey &
Ja’Angel Grace Paige
As she was driving her cousin, LaCourtney Paige, to the Emergency
Department at Methodist Germantown, Linda Shipp had no idea of
the roller coaster ride she and her family were about to experience.
And in the car, LaCourtney, who was six months pregnant, didn’t
realize that she wouldn’t return home for more than two months.
Just hours after being admitted for back pains and trouble breathing,
LaCourtney “crashed and passed away,” says Linda. “The team at
Methodist Germantown immediately revived her and began working
to save the baby.” Minutes later, a baby girl weighing just two pounds
and three ounces was welcomed into the world. But LaCourtney’s
health continued to decline. Diagnosed with H1N1, she developed
pneumonia, causing her lungs to collapse.
“We didn’t know if she would make it. But, they kept trying. They
wouldn’t give up,” says Linda. When Linda talks about this lifechanging series of events she tells a story of her family balancing
work, caring for children and caring for LaCourtney at Germantown
and her infant, who was admitted to Le Bonheur for a hole in her
intestines.
“She was such a miracle. She didn’t have a name for so long because LaCourtney wasn’t even aware enough to name her. We knew
she was a gift and the name Ja’Angel Grace fit. I called her Gracie,
my little miracle.”
Linda says that LaCourtney’s battle to live was unbelievable, another miracle. “We kept saying we weren’t going to bury her, she was
supposed to grow old and bury us. Julie, our nurse said it was our
strength that helped to save her.”
The rest of the story Linda tells is one of exceptional care. Throughout the process of caring for LaCourtney and Ja’Angel, Linda says
the family felt as if they were part of the clinical team. “They are a
great staff and they were always thinking of new treatment options.
They had us on speed dial. They called throughout the day when
we were at work to update us on her condition. They knew us by
name.”
Mom and baby were home to welcome in the New Year—still another
miracle, you might say. LaCourtney may not remember much about
the early months in the ICU, but she knows one thing for sure, “I love
Methodist,” she says. “They are awesome.”
Jim McGehee & Mark Yancy
Jim McGehee, chairman and owner of McGehee Realty and
Development Co., has a certain spirit about him. On first meeting, he
is clearly determined and successful. But there’s more. It doesn’t take
long for his outlook and his spirit of giving and caring for the community
to emerge as his compass for life.
After seeing his wife’s former home health nurse suffer and eventually
die from sickle cell disease, he was moved to become involved in the
quest to provide better care for sufferers of the disease. “You have
never in your life seen anyone suffer the way a sickle cell patient suffers
during a crisis,” Jim says. “This experience helped me recognize the
need for additional specialized and accessible resources to care for
these patients.”
Jim is providing both leadership and financial support to the communitywide campaign to create a Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center. Together
with Mark Yancy, coordinator of major gifts at the Methodist Healthcare
Foundation, they have recruited a diverse community leadership group
to help raise the needed dollars.
“Filling this gap is essential,” says Mark. “There are more than 1,500
sickle cell patients in the Memphis area who continually suffer bouts of
excruciating pain in the chest, arms, legs or other parts of the body. In
crisis mode, they need a place to go where their disease is understood
and can be quickly addressed.”
Yancy speaks from experience. He missed a year–and-a-half of
college classes because sickle cell had destroyed bone and tissue
in his hips. At 21, he had his right hip replaced once and his left hip
replaced twice.
Two people, a spirit of determination, and one mission—to break the
sickle cycle. When spirits converge, great things do happen.
“ I know that as a community, we can rise to this challenge and meet
a very serious n eed to improve the health status of the Mid-South .
This center can and will affect outcomes as it will focus not just on
treatment, but prevention and welln ess, too. “

Spirits Converge to Break the Sickle Cycle
Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center of Memphis
Understanding and addressing the needs of sickle cell patients
In April, passionate healthcare leaders, community leaders, fundraisers and citizens
came together to announce the launch of a fundraising campaign to create the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center of Memphis.
The comprehensive program will be a collaborative effort by Methodist Le Bonheur
Healthcare, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, and others in the community. The Center’s outpatient clinic and coordinated program will be housed at Methodist University Hospital’s campus.
Filling this gap in care will improve the health and quality of life for the approximately
1,500 sickle cell patients and their families in the Memphis Metro area. The comprehensive sickle cell center’s design is based on delivering the most advanced clinical
treatment, offering on-site research for treatment advances and ultimately a cure, and
full psychosocial support for its patients.
The Center will:
• Provide advanced clinical care and enhance the quality of life for patients and
their families
• Establish Memphis as a world leader in providing care for sickle cell patients
• Offer on-site research for treatment advances and full psychosocial support for
its patients
• Provide acute care for those with sickle cell disease, with the same staff providing
acute and routine health maintenance care to patients older than 16 years of age.
• Help patients avoid emergency department visits, translating to reduced pain and
suffering for sickle cell patients in the Mid-South as well as reduced admission rates
to hospitals and reduced in-patient length of stay.
Your gift goes directly to build the home and infrastructure for this world-class program.
Your support of the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center of Memphis will help improve the
health and quality of life for hundreds in our community.

“I Couldn’t Have Asked for Better Treatment.”
Jimmy Whittin gton
& James Eason , M.D.
Jimmy Whittington is a longtime Memphian and proud of his home.
But when he learned he would need a liver transplant, having it done
in his hometown was the furthest thing from his mind. “I was thinking
of a hospital in Pittsburgh or Mayo Clinic,” he admits. “But I had a
doctor who asked me to check in with Methodist. I met with Dr. (James)
Eason and he was so comforting. He didn’t oversell it, but he was so
convincing. I canceled all my other appointments then and there.”
Jimmy had the transplant on August 1, 2007 at Methodist University
Hospital Transplant Institute. And he’s glad he did. “I spent six nights in
the hospital, and I couldn’t have asked for better treatment,” he says.
“I can’t say enough about Methodist. I have been doing all I can to
help.”
At 67, Jimmy still works at the lumber and building materials business
that bears his name and is feeling great. “If I’m in Memphis, I go to the
office,” he says. “It’s just remarkable.”
He’s grateful for Dr. Eason, who joined the staff of the Transplant
Institute after Hurricane Katrina destroyed his New Orleans transplant
clinic. “God works in strange ways,” Jimmy said. “Dr. Eason came to
Memphis after Katrina destroyed his clinic. He had only been here 14
months when I met him. We’re very fortunate to have Dr. Eason and that
transplant team. They’re caring people. They want you to get well.”
And he’s grateful for Methodist and all it does for Memphis. “They do so
much for the community. They help a lot of people.”
“We have an extremely
talented transplant
team that is dedicated
to saving as many
lives as possible
through organ
transplantation . The
donation of an organ
is a truly amazing
gift of life, and I feel
very fortunate to be a
part of this program .“

Donors Share the Mission - Make it Possible
Ed & Marie Roberson
“Every day is a holiday, every meal is a banquet.”
Ed Roberson’s attitude and outlook on life are contagious. Ask him how he’s doing and
he’ll tell you, “every day is a holiday, every meal is a banquet.” Lucky for Methodist, Ed
and his wife, Marie, share their attitude of abundance with others in the community by
giving their time, talents and treasure to help Methodist provide outstanding care to
everyone.
When Ed began his tenure on the Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare board of directors a
dozen or so years ago, he thought it was “just another non-profit board.” But that wasn’t
his view for long. “Once I really got in there and got a sense of what Methodist is about
– its mission and the service and care it provides – I realized what a great organization it
is and how we are truly making a difference for people in our community.”
Ed says “the mission of providing healthcare to ANYONE regardless of their ability to
pay,” inspired him and Marie to make a planned gift to both Methodist and Le Bonheur.
The bequest will enable future generations to benefit from the abundant spirit of giving
Methodist experiences today due to the Roberson’s generosity. In addition to making a
planned gift, Ed and Marie have also given generously to the capital campaigns underway at Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare and continually provide support at events and
gatherings.
Now serving in his fourth year as chairman of the board, Ed’s enthusiastic about the
healthcare system’s future and growing national acclaim. “The Transplant Institute really puts Memphis on the map.” And, he’s just as excited and grateful for what Methodist
means to the Memphis community.
“Our relationship with St. Jude, The Med, the Church Health Center – we are just critical
to the Memphis community. We are so mission-oriented, and we’re staying downtown
which is where we need to be to carry out our mission. I think Methodist is doing everything right, and we’re doing everything right for the community. We feel good about our
current financial support and our bequest.”
