MARTHA’S VINEYARD HOSPITAL 2013 ANNUAL REPORT — Page 3
From the Chairman of the Board and Our CEO
A Growing Partnership
P
roviding quality health care in the
rural setting of an intensely seasonal
Island community will always pose huge
financial challenges, and in leading this
institution we will always need to be alert
for ways to contain costs and improve our
efficiency. But with our new Hospital
building now in its fourth year of service,
and with our membership in the Partners
HealthCare network now in its seventh
year, the focus has shifted. Quality of care
is firmly in the foreground at Martha’s
Vineyard Hospital – as it should be – and
it’s in this arena that the headlines are
being made:
New Oncology and Hematology
The Hospital’s new oncology and
hematology services, offered in a suite of
rooms newly created in the former ER
space of our 1972 building, represent the
most dramatic expansion of locallyavailable health care here in decades. A
team of clinicians from Massachusetts
General Hospital is providing services
that will enable scores of Island patients
to receive world-class cancer care close to
home, without the expense and stress of
trips to Boston.
Critical Care Services
Drawing on telemedicine technology
and the expertise of specialists at Mass
General, Martha’s Vineyard Hospital has
also expanded its critical care services,
enabling dozens of patients who once
would have been airlifted to Boston to
receive top-notch care right here at home.
Regular pacemaker clinics are now being
held at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital, and
new pain clinic services are sparing
Islanders the need to travel for their
medical care.
Orthopedic and Sports Surgeon
After a national recruiting effort, the
Hospital announced this spring that Dr.
Mark M. Scheffer, orthopedic and sports
surgeon, is joining the medical staff in
July. Dr. Scheffer, who brings a broad
expertise in joint replacement and
arthroscopic surgery, says that our
Hospital’s affiliation with Mass General
and access to its expertise figured heavily
in his decision to come here.
Integrated Care Management
This spring, Martha’s Vineyard Hospital
launched the Integrated Care
Management program, based on a similar
initiative pioneered at Mass General and
focused on improving patient care
through a team approach that coordinates
communication among patients and their
doctors, specialists and home care
providers.
Comprehensive Restoration
And at the Windemere Nursing Home
and Rehabilitation Center,
a comprehensive restoration of the
building’s exterior is underway, funded
with $2 million from Mass General
Hospital and $1 million from Partners
HealthCare. This completes three years of
renovations at Windemere, which began
with improvements to the patient care
facilities inside the building – work which

now brings the physical plant up to a
level that matches the compassionate care
delivered daily by its staff.
Behind these headlines are countless
stories of the small transactions that
make up a year in the life of a
community hospital – from the
emergency room to the maternity
department, from the offices of our
primary care doctors to the pharmacy,
the lab, the rehab center and the
cafeteria. Our partnership with Mass
General and the Partners organization

Boston looms large as I write to you
this year. As a trustee of Martha’s
Vineyard Hospital, I received a detailed
update at a recent Partners HealthCare
general board meeting regarding the care
provided to victims of this terrible
tragedy at both the Massachusetts
General Hospital (MGH) and the
Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The
care the victims received was exemplary
and in keeping with the ranking of the
two Partners Healthcare founding
hospitals, among the best in the world. I
must say that I am very proud of our
hospital’s affiliation with the MGH and
our membership in Partners Healthcare.
This past year we have continued to
build on our affiliation with Mass
General in numerous ways, all with the
goal of providing world-class healthcare

olunteers are an important resource to both Martha’s Vineyard Hospital and
Windemere. Donating their time and energy to provide support to patients,
residents, families and visitors, our volunteers’ talents and enthusiasm make an
incalculable contribution to our community. Volunteering is a true win/win for all.
V
Volunteers: Making a Difference
hen Angela Rhoderick started work
last summer as the new volunteer
coordinator at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital,
one of the first tasks she set for herself was to
survey every Hospital department in search of
new volunteer opportunities. “I did that,” she
says, “and it was such an eye-opener –
because there are so many ways for volunteers
to help and make a difference here.”
Seeing all these opportunities, and drawing
upon her own long career experience with
IBM, Ms. Rhoderick set up a volunteer
management system called Volgistics – a
package of software that manages all
volunteer records, helps define each volunteer
service clearly, and creates schedules that
make it easy to see where the openings are.
But Ms. Rhoderick understands that the
best software is only a tool, and that
volunteering at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital is
finally about people helping people. In less
than a year, she’s grown the ranks of Hospital
volunteers from fewer than a dozen to more
than sixty people. This year, in the quiet
months of January and February when many
Islanders are away on their vacations, 31
Hospital volunteers delivered more than 20
weeks worth of service.
“We’re growing not only in our number of
volunteers,” Ms. Rhoderick says, “but also in
the range of services and the hours our

Jackie had learned about opportunities at
the Hospital from a high school classmate,
Sophie Ulyatt, who volunteers regularly in
the medical records department. Now she’s
working with Ms. Rhoderick to develop the
Friendly Visitors service, volunteering in the
patient care unit every Friday afternoon.

volunteers provide.”
One of the Hospital’s newly-minted
volunteers is 17-year-old Jacqueline Menton,
a junior at Martha’s Vineyard Regional High
School who’s looking ahead to medical school
and thinking about a career in psychiatry.
Jackie has been volunteering since February,
bringing cheer to residents in Windemere’s
Alzheimer’s unit and in the Hospital’s patient
care unit each week in a new program Ms.
Rhoderick calls the Friendly Visitors service.
“It takes a very special person who can
communicate and who wants to spend the
time and make a difference and change
someone’s day,” says Ms. Rhoderick. “Our
volunteers from the high school are so
amazing – they have such an interest in
caring for others and in helping.”
Jackie says her volunteer hours at the
Hospital are challenging, but satisfying: “I
often go home and take a nap, to be honest.
But this experience is developing my social
skills. Especially the patient visits. I’m only 17
and not totally at home in my own skin yet,
and this is helping me, pushing me, to
develop in that way. I’m learning to connect
with people, and I feel so rewarded.”
Visiting with patients at the Hospital gives
her a healthy perspective on the daily
concerns of high school life, Jackie adds:
“Coming to the Hospital and Windemere
after high school, it’s so refreshing to not be
like, ‘Oh, what is she wearing?’ and ‘Who is
she dating?’ It’s really nice to not have that
for a few hours.”
For anyone wondering if there might be
volunteer work they’d enjoy at Martha’s
Vineyard Hospital, Jackie has this message:
“I’d say that they can definitely find
something they’ll like here, because there are
so many different things to do.” Ms.
Rhoderick reinforces that by noting that her
office has a thick service portfolio now, where
potential volunteers can explore the whole
range of volunteer opportunities.
The ranks of volunteers at Martha’s
Vineyard Hospital include people of all ages,
but Angie Rhoderick admits that her high
school volunteers bring a uniquely youthful
energy into the mix: “The students we’ve
been getting from the high school are so
intelligent, they’re passionate, they’re
hardworking. I say to Jacqueline, can you
please go back to the high school and bring
us ten more just like yourself?”

opportunities at the Hospital, call Ms.
Rhoderick at 1-508-957-0195. Partners in Excellence Award

Reaching Out to Improve Patient Care
M
artha’s Vineyard Hospital launched a
new initiative in April. The program,
developed by Massachusetts General
Hospital, is called Integrated Care
Management. It is based on the premise that
medically complicated patients have
improved clinical outcomes and enjoy a
higher quality of life when an outpatient care
manager assists with the care coordination
and communication between patients and
their team of doctors, specialists and home
care providers.
Cheryl Kram, R.N., our new outpatient
high-risk care manager has been working
with Dedie Wieler, R.N., the Hospital’s chief
quality officer, to adapt the program to the
needs of the Vineyard community.
“A great thing about this
program is that there’s a provision
for home visits, so I can go to
someone’s home and see how
they’re living their day.”
In her new job, Ms. Kram will manage
approximately 100 Vineyard patients who
have been identified as medically high-risk.
They might have multiple medical
conditions that complicate their care, or
chronic and severe conditions like diabetes
or congestive heart failure.
Ms. Kram’s job is to keep in touch with
the patients when they’re at home, making
sure they follow the care plans that keep
their medical problems managed. When
her patients are hospitalized here on the
Vineyard, she’ll work with Gayle Poggi,
R.N., the Hospital’s inpatient case
manager, to set up a discharge plan that
enables the patient to be stable and healthy,
by connecting them with appropriate
services and resources. And, when Cheryl’s

discharge plans as well.
Ms. Kram noted that one of her first
tasks with each patient in this program is
need in the community. “Regular meetings
to understand their circumstances at home,
with the primary care doctors are built in to
and to connect them with services they might review patients and how they are doing,” she
says. “And a great thing about this program is
that there’s a provision for home visits, so I
can go to someone’s home and see how
they’re living their day – how they’re taking
their meds, how they’re cooking their meals,
how they’re managing.”
Ms. Kram will measure the success of this
new program by how patients are doing –
mentally and physically – and whether the
program is able to effect some change that
supported them out in the community, living
independently, taking care of themselves,
having some quality of life and being able to
do the things they want to do.
“For those of us who know Cheryl,” Ms.
Wieler says, “it was obvious that she was a
perfect fit. She has personal experience as a
visiting nurse, a hospital case manager, and in
a physician office setting, so she brings all the
pieces of the puzzle to the table. In addition,
Cheryl is familiar with the support services
that are available on the Island. She’s the total
package.”
Says Ms. Kram, “I feel this brings my 30
years of work experience together, all in one

Dr. Scheffer says about two-thirds of his
surgeries are arthroscopic – involving access
to injuries through tiny quarter-inch

one great advantage of arthroscopic surgery
is that because the incision wound is so

Lab: Accredited and Always Improving
n March, a team of seven inspectors from
the College of American Pathologists
(CAP) paid a visit to the Martha’s Vineyard
Hospital Lab. CAP, which serves as the lab’s
accreditation and certifying body, visits
member hospitals every two years with a
daunting amount of requirements to work
through.
“It was a long day,” says Lena Prisco PhD,
lab director, but she quickly adds: “It went
fine. There are always a few items that require
follow-up on inspections like this, but the
Hospital lab was recommended for a full
two-year accreditation.”
It’s not as if the CAP inspection is the
only time the Hospital lab checks its
procedures and the accuracy of its methods
and instruments. During daily operations,
quality control is run and in alternate
inspection years the lab does its own selfinspection, Dr. Prisco says, and all
through the year, CAP submits random
unknown samples to be sure the lab’s
work is spot-on.
Dr. Prisco, who serves as a CAP
inspection team leader herself, says the
peer-review process at its best is quite a
useful experience. “You can learn a lot of
things visiting other labs,” she says.
The biggest advances at the Martha’s
Vineyard Hospital laboratory since the
last CAP inspection two years ago have
been in two areas: expanding the number
of in-house tests the lab performs, and
handling both test orders and the
communication of lab results
electronically.
In all, Dr. Prisco says, the Hospital lab
now performs about three dozen tests in-
I
house that were sent off-Island as recently as
two years ago. There’s an improvement in
patient care and a potential cost savings
passed along to patients, she says. “When a
test is done here,” she says, “we can contact
the doctor faster.”
Perhaps one of the most dramatic changes
at the lab is its ability to test for Lyme
disease and return a result in as little as 60
minutes to a doctor in the emergency room.
Another example is that the lab can now do
hormone tests, enabling Martha’s Vineyard
Hospital to provide laboratory support for
fertility treatments.
Technicians Mary Edwards and Sam Kline showing off the new Laboratory at the open
house in 2010. Left—Mary at work in the lab in 2013.
Meanwhile, the work of the Hospital lab
has been fully integrated into the new
electronic medical records system since
January. “There’s no more hand entry or
faxing,” says Dr. Prisco, “which is more
accurate and has really decreased the
paperwork. People are still used to paper,
but they are thinking more electronically
now.”
Most of the lab’s older equipment was
updated when the Hospital moved into its
new building, but they had to replace one
failing chemistry instrument, a workhorse
nine years old, with a new one earlier this
year. Because that instrument’s work is so

broadly essential, bringing it online took
almost four months.
Still, somehow Dr. Prisco has also found
time to set up a new continuing education
program for the technicians in the lab. “As
I’m reading and finding materials, I push it
their way. Here in the lab, you never stop
learning.” New Service: World-Class Cancer Care, Delivered Here
artha’s Vineyard Hospital embarked
this spring on the biggest expansion of
medical services in its recent history, with the
launch of a new comprehensive medical
oncology and hematology service program.
In a suite of newly renovated rooms in the
1972 Hospital building, expanded cancer care
for Island patients is now being provided by a
team of six clinicians from the Mass General
Cancer Center.
Chemotherapy infusions are being
administered by infusion nurses Monday
through Friday, and by advanced practice
nurse Jane Kelly, APRN, BC every
Wednesday through Friday. Jane works
Mondays and Tuesdays at the Nantucket
Hospital, which is also an affiliate of the Mass
General in the Partners HealthCare system.
“Patients living on Martha’s Vineyard now
have access to one of the finest cancer
treatment programs in the United States,”
says Dr. David Ryan, chief of Hematology/
Oncology at MGH and clinical director at the
Mass General Cancer Center. “We are very
pleased that our cancer providers are working
together with Martha’s Vineyard Hospital as a
team.”
“It’s soup to nuts”, says Tim Walsh, CEO of
Martha’s Vineyard Hospital. “We tried to
expand oncology service here, several times,
before we became affiliated with Partners. But
it just wasn’t possible – we couldn’t make it
work.”
Tim Sweet, chairman of the Hospital board,
says “Now all the pieces have fallen into place.
I think that from the patients’ point of view,
we’re finally beginning to see all the great
advantages of joining Partners HealthCare.”
The opening of the Mass General
Hematology/Oncology Service on the
Vineyard has been welcomed enthusiastically
by the Island’s primary support and advocacy
group for cancer patients, the Martha’s
Vineyard Cancer Support Group. “We’re
absolutely thrilled,” says the organization’s
president, Jane Carroll.
A diagnosis of cancer is challenging enough
by itself, says Mrs. Carroll – but the Island’s
distance from chemotherapy services has been
M
a huge additional burden. Describing
the grueling trips of a woman the
support group recently helped with
her travel expenses, she says: “She gets
on the boat, she gets on the bus, she
gets out at South Station, takes the T
to the Mass General. And afterwards
she takes the T back to South Station
and the bus down and the boat home.
That’s after a round of chemo.”
Dr. Richard T. Penson, clinical
director of medical gynecologic
oncology at the Mass General Cancer
Center, is heading up the team of six
doctors bringing this new service to
the Vineyard. Joining him are Dr.
Christopher G. Azzoli, whose special
expertise is lung cancer, Dr. Jeffrey A.
Barnes (lymphoma), Dr. Marcia
Browne (breast, GI and lymphoma),
Dr. Donald P. Lawrence (head, neck
and melanoma), and Dr. Lidia
Schapira (breast cancer).
“A standard course of chemotherapy
is six cycles, administered every three
weeks,” says Dr. Penson, “and the
typical appointment takes half a day
or more.” That means Vineyard
cancer patients traveling to Boston for
treatment most often have to stay
overnight off-Island, at great cost
both in money and in time.

Anne Lemenager receives infusion therapy at the new MGH/MVH Hematology, Oncology & Infusion
Service at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital.
“We’re committed to delivering
compassionate care, ensuring
that patients get the standard of
21st-century medical care, right
at home on the Vineyard.”
Jane Carroll knows the drill by heart, having
driven her late husband Tom to Boston for
regular cancer treatments for more than two
years. “I can’t tell you how many snowstorms I
drove through to get Tom to his
appointments,” she says. “If we could have
done those treatments down here, what a
major savings on money, stress and time that
would have been.”
Dr. Penson says he appreciates that after a
round of chemotherapy, most patients want
nothing more than to get home and curl up
under the covers of their own bed. With this
new service, he says, “For many patients,
they’ll be able to receive world-class care
without ever having to leave the Vineyard.”
Mrs. Carroll says the entire board of the
MV Cancer Support Group was impressed by
Dr. Penson’s recent presentation to them on
the new Island cancer service. “He told us that
even if you’re a patient with a doctor at
another off-Island hospital, you can get your
chemotherapy done here. And they’ve
arranged so that people on their summer
vacations can also get their chemo here. That’s
just wonderful.”
“The new infusion suite is a great space,”
says Dr. Penson. “We do think that a lot of
cancer care can be transferred to the Island.
We’re committed to delivering compassionate
care, ensuring that patients get the standard of
21st-century medical care, right at home on
the Vineyard.”
Patients under the active care of a medical
oncologist can transition their care to one of
the new physicians from the Mass General
Cancer Center and will be seen in the Mass
General Hematology/Oncology Service at
Martha’s Vineyard Hospital. For questions,
please call Nurse Practitioner Jane Kelly,
APRN-BC, at 855-508-5275, or call your
Primary Care Physician. Page 8 — MARTHA’S VINEYARD HOSPITAL 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

Windemere Gets Facelift
indemere Nursing & Rehabilitation
Center is receiving much-needed
exterior renovations this spring and summer,
thanks to financial support from its corporate
parents – a $2 million grant from
Massachusetts General Hospital and $1
million from the Partners HealthCare
organization.
“This couldn’t be coming at a better time,”
says Ken Chisholm, Windemere’s
administrator. The work now underway at
Windemere has been a long time in the
planning: Windemere applied to the state
four years ago for a Determination of Need
(DON), and over the past two years has spent
$300,000 on a range of interior
improvements – a new boiler, new showers,
new beds and furniture in every resident’s
room, as well as new carpeting and other
renovations to the recreation area, cafeteria
and conference room.
After all this interior work, attention
shifted to the exterior of the nursing home,
which dates to 1994. The price tag was
overwhelming, Mr. Chisholm says:
“When we filed that DON, we really
W
Windemere Family Dinner
didn’t know how Windemere was going to be
able to afford this work. But everything’s
come together – we had this whole project
planned and ready to go, the state approved
it, and now Mass General and Partners have
stepped up to pay for it.”
For the second year in a row,
Windemere received the highest
5-star rating granted by the federal
government’s Medicare program.
The exterior work involves new siding,
new windows and doors, and new decks for
the entire facility. “When this project is
completed at the end of September,” Mr.
Chisholm says, “We’re going to be in good
shape, top to bottom, inside and out.”
As pleased as the administration and staff
are with the physical renovations, they haven’t
forgotten that Windemere’s mission is the
daily care of its residents. The nursing home’s
string of awards and high scores on
national quality-of-care measures
suggest that this mission hasn’t been
lost in the carpenters’ bustle.
For the second year in a row,
Windemere received the highest 5star rating granted by the federal
government’s Medicare program,
which is based on detailed health
inspections, ratings of staff and
measures of quality of care. The
nursing home received a perfect score:
“no deficiencies found.” And U.S.
News & World Report Magazine
listed Windemere among the best
nursing homes in the nation.
“We’re very proud,” says Mr.
Chisholm. “It takes a lot of work to
maintain this high rating. We’re
always looking to improve.”
Windemere offers short-term
rehabilitation, independent living
accommodations, and long-term care,
with specialized programs for those
with Alzheimer's and dementia. The
facility includes a 21-bed dementia
care unit, 40-bed skilled nursing and
rehabilitation unit, and a 13-bed
residential living wing. PHOTO BY HEIDI WILD
