St. Dominic Hospital
Our organization will continue
to follow the Dominican
Sisters’ mission of Christian
healing by reaching out to
serve those in need.
2014 Community Benefit Report
In 2014, St. Dominic’s celebrated 40 years of excellence
in providing cardiac and vascular services to the
community through the Mississippi Heart and Vascular
Institute. Due to the dedication of the Institute’s
physicians and staff, St. Dominic’s is one of the leading
providers of cardiac, vascular and venous services in
Central Mississippi.
Because Mississippi leads the nation in heart-disease
related deaths, cardiovascular services and education are
very important in building a healthier community. As
you will see in the stories presented in this 2014 edition
of St. Dominic Health Services Community Benefit
Report, we place a special focus on our programs and
services related to cardiovascular health in determining
our community benefit efforts. All of these efforts
would not be possible without the commitment and
support of the Dominican Sisters of Springfield,
Illinois, board members, physicians, employees,
volunteers and other community members.
We hope you find these inspirational stories to be an
accurate reflection of the dedication and compassion
St. Dominic’s has for creating healthier lives in
Mississippi. Our organization will continue to follow
the Dominican Sisters’ mission of Christian healing by
reaching out to serve those in need.

St. Dominic’s Care-A-Van Provides Health Screenings
at the B.B. King Museum in Indianola
In 2012, St. Dominic Health Services (SDHS)
committed to join the B.B. King Museum in
Indianola, Mississippi to improve childhood
health by providing $70,000 in funding over a four
year period for education and health screenings
conducted by the St. Dominic’s Care-A-Van.
In addition to offering screenings, Care-A-Van
volunteers promote physical fitness and activity.
Several of the Dominican Sisters and SDHS
volunteers dedicated their time to hand out jump
ropes, sidewalk chalk and other items to encourage
physical and mental fitness.
St. Dominic’s Care-A-Van, a 42-foot mobile
screening bus, travels throughout Mississippi
conducting both screenings and educational
programs for school-aged children and medicallyunderserved senior citizens in an effort to identify
potential health problems before they become more
serious.
The Care-A-Van focuses on screening children and
the elderly living near or below the poverty level
who do not have access to preventative healthcare
resources. Annually, the Care-A-Van program records
an estimated 12,000 direct contacts from these
underserved groups.
In 2014, 85 students in the program received blood
pressure, vision, hearing, height, weight and BMI
screenings. From this effort 60 referrals were given
for out-of-range screening results.

Madison School Nurse Program Beneficial to Students
Since 2008, St. Dominic’s has provided school
nurses for elementary and middle schools in the
Madison County School district at no cost to the
schools. Velma Jackson High School was added to
the program in 2014.
The school nurses are available to respond to
many medical needs of the students—from
a fever to a broken bone. If a child sees the
nurse for any reason, the nurse will provide the
required first aid or care and then send a note
home to inform the child’s parents of the visit.
Nurses can even help monitor students’ chronic
illnesses such as diabetes and assist with
medication and education of the condition under
the direction of a student’s physician.
Angel Wheatley, R.N., has been a St. Dominic’s
school nurse since the program first began and has
over 30 years of nursing experience. Angel has
helped one elementary school student who was
diagnosed with diabetes at age five learn how to
manage her condition on her own.
“Nurse Angel really helped me by telling me tips
and tricks on how to be healthy,” the student said.
“When I first got here, I didn’t know what to do,
and I wasn’t that serious about it because I didn’t
know what it meant. But now I know everything.
I am able to count carbs, regulate my blood sugar,
and draw up insulin. She helped me when I didn’t
know what to do.”

St. Catherine’s Patient Simulator Used to Refine Skills
St. Catherine’s Village, St. Dominic’s all-inclusive
continuing care retirement community, purchased
a mannequin designed for scenario-based training
as part of its annual skills competency assessments
in 2014.
The mannequin, Nursing Anne from Laerdal,
is 135 pounds and can be either male or female
based on interchangeable body parts. Employees
submitted suggestions for naming the mannequin,
and the Advanced Care Giver Group decided on
the name of “Alex”, a non-gender specific name.
Alex is educationally effective for clinical training
targeting key skills from basic patient care to
”Using the mannequin really brought to
light any deficits and allowed us to see
where we needed to focus our education.”
—Theresa Peeler, B.S.N., R.N.-B.C., Director of Nursing

advanced nursing necessary for in-hospital patient
care. “Any time there is a policy change, we initiate
training with the mannequin,” said Theresa
Peeler, B.S.N., R.N.-B.C., Director of Nursing at
St. Catherine’s Village. “This allows the assistants
or nurses a chance to practice before implementing a
specific skill on a resident. Using the mannequin really
brought to light any deficits and allowed us to see
where we needed to focus our education.”
The anatomical parts include removable dentures,
eyeballs, breasts, ostomy sites and perineal areas.
The legs and arms have sites provided to perform
injections and pads can be interchanged into wound
sites for assessment. The mannequin also includes
veins for venipuncture and placing intravenous
catheters. The lungs, stomach, bladder and rectum
offer a realistic response for listening with a
stethoscope or performing procedures such as
catheterization, nasogastric tube placement, enema
administration or tracheostomy assessment.
Healthy Lives Program Changes Lives
St. Dominic’s began offering the Healthy Lives
program to its employees in 2013, with 1,179
employees enrolled by the end of 2014. The program
is a comprehensive health and wellness program
provided as an additional benefit at no cost for all
employees, spouses and dependents over the age of
18 enrolled in the St. Dominic’s health plan.
Employees and dependents enrolled in Healthy Lives
undergo yearly health screenings and can earn cash
rewards for healthy behavior.
Sherry Cliburn, Executive Assistant, St. Dominic
Health Services Corporate Office, is enrolled in the
Healthy Lives program. When she went for her annual
screening, she said she was shocked at the results.
“My glucose was elevated, and my blood pressure was
bordering on stroke range,” she said. “I tried reasoning
with the staff that I had probably just had more sweets
than normal, but they suggested I seek immediate
medical attention.”
Sherry made an appointment with a physician
and discovered she had diabetes and needed blood
pressure medication. “This was a shock, and I felt so
overwhelmed,” she said. “I knew I could not afford a
special diet program. So I set up an appointment with
Louisa Whitmire, Registered Dietitian and Healthy
Lives Health Coach, to discuss my condition and how
to change my eating pattern. This was a tremendous
benefit.”
“Thanks to these health screenings, my
diabetes was caught early enough that
it only required oral medication and
not insulin, and my blood pressure is
controllable with medication.”
—Sherry Cliburn, Executive Assistant
St. Dominic Health Services Corporate Office
In addition to changing her diet, Sherry was put on
blood pressure and diabetes medicine to improve her
condition. By following these changes, Sherry lost 23
pounds and returned her glucose and blood pressure
measures to a normal range.

Community Health Clinic
The St. Dominic Community Health Clinic was
established in 1996 to provide primary and
preventative health care free-of-charge to the
medically uninsured, homeless and working poor
of the Jackson area.
Under the direction of nurse practitioner Sister
Mary Trinita Eddington, O.P., the clinic provides
primary health care services, including: routine
checkups, treatment of acute illnesses, sports
or employment physicals, eye exams by an
ophthalmologist, limited chronic care, nutritional
counseling and lab testing. The clinic offers
scheduling of lab, x-ray or other diagnostic
services and referrals for specialty care and social
services. Assistance with prescriptions, supplies
and equipment is also available.
“We are so thankful that
Dr. Harkins volunteers his time
and resources to the clinic. He is
truly making a difference in the
health of this community.”
—Sister Mary Trinita Eddington, O.P.

The clinic also provides its patients with complete
cardiovascular exams. Cardiologist Douglas Harkins,
M.D., of Jackson Heart Clinic, P.A., routinely cares
for 56 of the clinic’s patients. If extensive tests are
required, Dr. Harkins will see the clinic patients in
his office, free-of-charge.
“We are so thankful that Dr. Harkins volunteers his
time and resources to the clinic,” Sister Trinita said.
“He is always so accommodating. I can’t say enough
good about him, and the patients love him. He is truly
making a difference in the health of this community.”
In addition to these health care services, the clinic
provides a variety of educational programs for
children, adolescents and adults in an effort to
promote disease prevention and safety.
St. Dominic’s Supports Habitat for Humanity
St. Dominic’s has been a strong supporter of the
Habitat for Humanity program since it first came
to Jackson almost 30 years ago. St. Dominic’s
employees have helped to fund and build more than
15 Habitat homes..
Over the years, 20 St. Dominic’s employees have
been Habitat home recipients. This year, St.
Dominic’s employee Carolyn Madlock, Food Services
Supervisor at the St. Dominic Centre, and her
11-year-old son Jimmy, qualified for a Habitat home.
St. Dominic’s and St. Catherine’s employees
provided $26,000 toward the $80,000 cost of the
home, and more than 40 volunteers helped Carolyn
with construction. Funds were raised through
the St. Dominic Health Services Foundation’s
comprehensive employee campaign, “Deal or
No Deal.”
Carolyn’s home is a product of the 29th annual
Catholic Build, Habitat’s longest-running, faith-based
Covenant sponsor. Parishes who participated in the
2014 build along with St. Dominic Health Services
were Holy Savior in Clinton, St. Joseph in Gluckstadt,
St. Francis in Madison, Christ the King, Holy Family,
St. Peter Cathedral, St. Richard, St. Mary, and St.
Therese. All are located in Jackson.
Jennifer Parker, Administrative Assistant with the
St. Dominic Health Services Foundation, decided to go
the extra mile to help her friend Carolyn by starting
a campaign to have the home fully furnished through
Miskelly Furniture’s annual Holiday Furnishing
program. Almost 100 friends and employees submitted
letters of support. On December 22, 2014, Chip
Miskelly and his team arrived with a truckload of
furniture for the Madlocks–just in time for Christmas.
Funds were raised
through the
St. Dominic Health
Services Foundation’s
comprehensive
employee campaign,
“Deal or No Deal.”

St. Dominic’s Donated Fire Alarms to Fire Department
St. Dominic Health Services purchased and donated
50 smoke alarms with carbon dioxide detection to
the Jackson Fire Department in 2014 to help raise
awareness of the need for fire-safety in the community.
Jackson Firefighters gave the alarms to families who
were in need and could not afford the devices.
“This donation has made our vision and goals more
attainable this year,” said Malcolm Alexander, Jackson
Fire Department Division Chief. “Recent tragic deaths
could have been prevented if citizens would have had
some type of fire detection device. This donation has
improved the safety of our community by increasing
the chances of surviving deadly house fires.”

New Directions for Over 55 Members
Raise Money through The Compass Fund
St. Dominic’s New Directions for Over 55, a
wellness program designed to meet the unique needs
of mature adults, celebrated its 25th anniversary
in 2013. As part of this celebration, the program
kicked off an ongoing campaign in conjunction
with St. Dominic Health Services Foundation called
“The Compass Fund.” The purpose was to help raise
money to fund much-needed projects and services at
St. Dominic’s.
The Compass Fund has received 162 gifts in the
amount of $10,769 from New Directions for Over 55
members since the campaign began. All funds raised
in 2014 will go toward purchasing a telemedicine
cart for the hospital’s stroke program.
The telemedicine cart purchased through the
campaign gives neurologists at St. Dominic’s

community hospitals that might not otherwise receive
such expedient care.
“The Compass Fund gives our members an
opportunity to contribute financially in support of a
service at St. Dominic’s,” said Jean Clark, Director of
New Directions for Over 55. “In doing so, it provides
members a way to give back to the community through
a program that has given so much.”

women’s programs
and services at
St. Dominic’s.

up to 25 percent in each of the 30 participating
outlet stores. The discount cards were sold by
St. Dominic’s and St. Catherine’s Village employees
as a community service project.
“An enormous effort was put into Shop Pink,” said Jim
Jeter, Executive Director of the St. Dominic Health
Services Foundation. “This was a typical St. Dominic’s
effort – all hands on deck and pulling together to make
a campaign successful.”
St. Dominic’s Celebrates Heart Month and Mississippi
Heart and Vascular Institute’s 40th Anniversary
In 2014, the employees and physicians of St. Dominic’s
Mississippi Heart and Vascular Institute (MHVI)
celebrated 40 years of working to protect hearts of
Mississippians by focusing on heart disease treatment,
prevention and awareness in the community.
As part of the ongoing fight against heart
disease, St. Dominic’s participated in American Heart
Month by holding educational events throughout
the month of February. The month-long observance,
which began in 1963, urges people to recognize the
nationwide problem of cardiovascular disease and the
importance of treatment, prevention and research.
St. Dominic’s also held events throughout the
year honoring employees and physicians of
MHVI in honor of their 40th anniversary.
The first event, held on January 29, recognized
Dr. Henry Tyler and his team for performing
the first open heart surgery at St. Dominic’s in
January of 1974. The physicians who officially
began the institute with Dr. Tyler later that same
year were also honored. Those physicians, as
stated on the original articles of incorporation,
were Dr. William Rosenblatt, Dr. James C. Hays,
Sr., Dr. James L. Crosthwait, Dr. Quinton H.
Dickerson, Dr. Henry B. Tyler and Dr. William
Arthur Jones.
The year-long celebration culminated with a
gala event held at the Jackson Country Club on

continue in making the institute a success and
the founding physicians of MHVI celebrated
their successes by revisiting old memories and
sharing a vision of the future.

several free community events raising awareness
of cancer and communicating the importance of
women’s health.
This year’s annual Drive to Inspire campaign
featured a pink Honda Pilot driven around the metro

Throughout the entire month of October, the pink
car traveled to various locations, and community
members were encouraged to sign the car in support
of breast cancer awareness.
On September 30, 2014, a women’s health event

Blue Distinction Center for Cardiac Care
St. Dominic’s was selected by Blue Cross & Blue
Shield of Mississippi as a Blue Distinction Center of
Excellence for Cardiac Care in 2014.
Centers of Excellence are Blue Cross network
providers that specialize in certain illnesses and
treatments. The Blue Distinction Centers of
Excellence program recognizes those network
hospitals and their physicians that demonstrate high
levels of performance delivering quality specialty care
to their patients safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
The Blue Cross program has two levels of distinction.
St. Dominic’s achieved the Center+ distinction, which
means it not only met the overall quality measures
for patient safety and outcomes required to become a
Blue Distinction Center, but also met cost measures
addressing consumers’ need for affordable health care.

Hospital Volunteers Making an Impact
St. Dominic’s volunteers are made up of men and
women of varied ages and backgrounds who provide
valuable services to staff, patients and visitors on a
daily basis. “We currently have 250 volunteers who work at the
information desks, waiting rooms, daycare, medical
library and most floors of the hospital,” said Chelsea
Wells, St. Dominic’s Volunteer Coordinator. “In
2014, our volunteers worked over 35,000 hours
combined.”
The volunteer program even allows students ages
16 and up to volunteer their time at the hospital.
While volunteers are giving their time and talents to
help St. Dominic’s fulfill its mission, many student
volunteers are also getting the experience they need
for future career paths in healthcare.
Jessica Fuller, 21, a University of Southern
Mississippi senior, has been volunteering at
St. Dominic’s since April 2014. “I needed experience
working in the medical field because I plan on going
to medical school,” she said. “It has been a great
experience learning the ins and outs of a hospital.”
Meagan Martin, 17, a senior at Florence High
School, said she initially began volunteering at
St. Dominic’s because it was required for school and
because she hopes to one day become a cardiologist.
“I started volunteering because of school, but I
continued even after I had fulfilled my requirements
because I loved it so much,” she said. “I enjoy
making relationships with so many different
kinds of people that I meet on a daily basis at the
hospital.”

Fulfilling Community Needs
Community Needs Assessment
In 2014 St. Dominic’s continued its focus on fulfilling
community needs in areas identified in the 20132015 Community Health Needs Assessment. The
overarching goal of the assessment was to respond
to identified community health needs, improve access
and improve health status – especially for the most
vulnerable and underserved in our community. It
is integral to St. Dominic’s mission to establish
community and provide service, setting an example to
others in community service.
St. Dominic Hospital’s overall approach to community
benefit is to target the intersection of documented
unmet community health needs and our organization’s
key strengths and mission commitments. Specifically,
members of the task force that led the development
of the assessment identified priority health issues
in St. Dominic’s service area based on its review of
demographic information, focus group summaries
and results of a community survey. Those identified
pressing issues are:
• obesity
• heart disease
• mental health needs.
St. Dominic’s integrates its commitment to
community service into its management and
governance structures as well as its strategic and
operational plans, and monitors and evaluates
progress. In 2014 the strategic plan contained a
strategy specifically directed at allocating resources
to meet the needs of the community in response to
the identified focus areas in the needs assessment.
The overarching strategy indicated, “Use the 2012
Community Needs Assessment to ensure the hospital
is appropriately allocating resources to meet the needs
of our community.” Following are ways in which the
strategy was implemented in 2014.

Results
Obesity and heart disease
Celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Mississippi Heart and
Vascular Institute by holding heart educational events throughout
the month of February.
Added Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center in McComb
as an additional hospital to the telestroke program (making four
hospitals in total).
Increased the number of participants in the Healthy Heart screening
program from 480 in 2013 to 908 in 2014.
Obesity, heart disease and
access to care
Hosted a Go Red for Women Premier Party in partnership with the
American Heart Association. The event provided a casual Q&A with
a panel of experts and registrations increased by over 50 percent
compared to 2013. In addition, St. Dominic’s sponsored the main Go
Red for Women event. In total, nearly 600 women were instructed
on the dangers and signs of heart disease in women.
Mental health needs
Continued to support the operations of the Community Health
Clinic which provides primary care and a referral access point to
services, including mental health, for the medically uninsured,
homeless or working poor of Jackson.
