A Message from River Hospital
Chief Executive Officer, Ben Moore III
T
he challenges of the emerging health care environment are intense,
all-consuming and to some, overwhelming. Our River Hospital
family could easily have looked upon this set of daunting changes with
the eye of a pessimist. Fortunately our choice, driven by our unrelenting
desire to serve our communities and our patients, has led us in the
opposite direction.
For the last several years our Board of Trustees, Medical Staff and our
employees have been hard at work analyzing our abilities, assessing our
opportunities, and ultimately developing and implementing a strategic
plan that not just addresses the challenges of the future, it embraces the
future with enthusiasm and confidence.
“A pessimist sees
the difficulty in
every opportunity;
an optimist sees
the opportunity in
every
difficulty.”
-Winston Churchill
A recent article in the media may have
caused some to question our optimistic
perspective. This article listed River Hospital as one of several hospitals facing
closure if Vital Access Provider (VAP) funds are not approved as part of the
New York State budget for 2015-2016. Apparently the list considered recipients
of New York State Interim Access Assurance Funds (IAAF) as highly vulnerable
institutions likely to face closure if additional funding such as VAP funding
was not forthcoming.
River Hospital was indeed a recipient of IAAF funds during the current state
fiscal year. These funds were utilized to assist with transforming our operations to enhance our service to
our communities. Our transformation activities included expanding our mental health services, improving
our information systems capabilities, and initiating collaboration efforts with Claxton-Hepburn Hospital.
We have been very pleased with our progress in all of these areas and as a result we are a much more robust
institution with a bright future.
While the absence of future VAP funds would be a great disappointment to us and delay the final achievement
of our transformation activities, we would not face closure. River Hospital has spent the last several years
preparing for the future with an emphasis on primary care, mental health, physical therapy, and other vital
community services such as emergency care and outpatient diagnostic and treatment services. We are well
positioned to thrive now and into the foreseeable future. While health care institutions are facing significant
challenges, we had the foresight to anticipate these changes, and the wisdom to create and implement a sound
strategic plan to address the new health care environment. We look forward with enthusiasm and confidence
to continuing to serve our communities with professional and compassionate care.
River Hospital – governed, managed, and staffed by capable and prepared optimists.
RIVER HOSPITAL | ANNUAL REPORT
W
ith continuous change and challenge on
the horizon for North Country hospitals,
River Hospital and Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center are
working proactively to formalize ongoing collaborations. In
November of 2014 River Hospital and Claxton-Hepburn Medical
Center formalized their intent to move forward in a collaboration
designed to integrate health care delivery in their respective St. Lawrence
River communities. Board members and leadership have met to evaluate the
benefits of such a collaboration.
The collaboration discussions build upon an existing relationship between
River Hospital and Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center. Currently Dr. Kiri Brandy
practices general surgery at both facilities. Dr. Michael Seidman, who specializes in
nephrology, offers office consultations at River Hospital on a monthly basis. Other
specialists from Claxton-Hepburn currently provide care in general surgery,
gastroenterology, and radiological services to patients at River Hospital.
The best means of collaboration will be implemented to build a health
care delivery system designed to improve quality, efficiency,
affordability, and patient access. This collaboration will seek to
maintain and expand clinical services that are important to
the community, while upholding the unique identity
of each hospital.

RIVER HOSPITAL | ANNUAL REPORT
As we move forward with another year of growth we are
also expanding and progressing in unprecedented ways
at River Hospital. By implementing a plan to construct a
new three story facility, contiguous to the main hospital,
we will continue to meet the needs of the community.
The percentages on the left reflect an increase in patient
visits between 2013 and 2014 which further illustrates the
need for expansion. The building plan includes integrating
Primary Care and Mental Health Services, and broadening
Physical Therapy. Outpatient mental health services are
available to members of the community and also include
a Partial Hospitalization Program that serves active duty
soldiers suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS); this is
the first outpatient program of its kind.
With a new outpatient facility, River Hospital will solve the
need for space and integration while increasing the capacity
of River Family Health Center, River Community Wellness
Program and by extension the military personnel who
access the Partial Hospitalization Program.

25th Annual Polar Bear Dip
T
he enthusiasm of 147 dippers reigned through a historically cold February winter, at the 25th Annual Polar Bear Dip. This
year the event raised $57,000 to support the purchase of a state-of-the-art 64 slice Computed Tomography (CT) Scanner. The
funds received by Friends of River Hospital and individual supporters have made the new CT Scanner more achievable.
In recent months the new CT Scanner has aided medical staff in identifying potential stroke victims. With early detection, patients
were able to take precautionary measures and prevent a possibly fatal outcome. The American Stroke Association stresses that
obscured vision, paralysis, memory loss, and language impairment are among the many dangerous effects that a stroke can have
on a victim. With new technology the 64 slice CT Scanner gave medical staff the ability to isolate and focus in on detailed images
and has already positively affected patient care.
Over the last 25 years Polar Bear Dip funds have afforded the Hospital the opportunity to acquire medical equipment and establish
an endowment fund. In recent years these improvements have been greatly impacted by one group alone, the Hollinger Team. For
the last five years the group has braved the icy tundra for a six hour drive to Alexandria Bay; they make their journey in memory
of Cody Hollinger. Cody spent summers on the river with his family before his life was taken too soon at the young age of 16,
in a car accident. To celebrate Cody’s memory, his friends and family paint his football number, 22, on their backs. In 2015, the
Hollinger Team consisted of 40 dippers and raised close to $20,000 in support of River Hospital, these numbers grow each year. It
is remarkable to see a community transform a tragic accident into something inspirational.
The dedication shown by Friends of River Hospital, volunteers, and dippers is astounding. River Hospital is thankful to be a part
of a community that shows their support so enthusiastically.

Employee Spotlight on Christy Pharoah
C
hristy Pharaoh, Emergency Department Nurse Manager, is approaching her six
year anniversary at River Hospital. The compassion that she exhibits for her job,
patients and community is contagious and it infects those around her. Christy goes above
and beyond to ensure that all patient and staff needs are met, which is a testament to her
belief in teamwork. We’re so glad to have her on our team.
Christy promotes an environment in which the nursing staff can work cooperatively to
achieve institutional missions and goals. She does this by fostering and maintaining a
positive relationship with patients, visitors and other members of the health care team.
Christy goes above and beyond the call of her duties to serve our staff, and most of all,
our patients.
Christy is not only the Emergency Department Nurse Manager, but also a wife
and mother of three. She said that she has so much dedication and love for
River Hospital because we believe in putting “patients and family first.”
It makes the time she spends away from her family worthwhile to
know she supports an institution that supports her family and
community.
Patient Safety - Support the Initiative
In 2014, our goal at River Hospital and
the Foundation was to acquire a state-ofthe-art 64 slice Computed Tomography
(CT) Scanner. The CT Scanner has
already impacted patient care and made a
difference in the lives of the patients we
serve.
One of our current goals is to procure
new code carts and defibrillators that
would equate to faster and more efficient
response times to emergency situations.
Additionally, to maximize patient comfort
and minimize the risk of injury to the
patient and their caregivers, new patient
handling equipment is essential.
We are committed to providing the
highest quality of care for our patients.
A contribution to support the purchase
of new code carts, defibrillators, and
safe patient handling equipment would
further our mission.
Spotlight
on Richard R. Macsherry
T
he memory of Mary Macsherry lives on throughout the North
Country and at River Hospital through her altruistic lifestyle and
the continued benevolence of her husband, Richard R. Macsherry. In addition
to their many diversified acts of philanthropy, Mr. Macsherry provided River
Hospital with a considerable gift in honor of Mrs. Macsherry’s legacy in 2012. In turn,
River Hospital dedicated the Emergency Department in memory of Mary Macsherry.
This gift allowed River Hospital to further its mission to provide compassionate, cost
effective and accessible primary health care to the River Communities. Mr. Macsherry’s
continued embodiment of his wife’s humanitarian work and kindness is appreciated by
many, but especially by River Hospital.
Last fall Mr. Macsherry demonstrated his generosity once again. As River Hospital moved
forward with plans to incorporate a second, and much needed elevator, the expenses were
overwhelming. Without hesitation he came forward and graciously offered to supply
River Hospital with the necessary funds.
River Hospital is grateful to have such a dedicated individual with an innate
sense of civic duty in our midst. These contributions have made a lasting
impression on the River Communities.

accepts the Program of
Promise Award
R
iver Hospital’s River Community Wellness
Program was among six programs from
across the nation named a Program of Promise
through the Hospital Charitable Services Awards, a
national program sponsored by Jackson Healthcare.
River Community Wellness Program provides intensive
outpatient behavioral health services for active duty
military personnel stationed at Ft. Drum. RCWP
provides continuity of care for soldiers transitioning
from an inpatient stay. It also serves as an intensive
intervention option to reduce potential inpatient
admissions of service members. This specialized
program focuses on building coping skills and
supports in the community. It is the only program
of its kind in the United States. The program
keeps military members close to home
while they are healing and learning to
cope.
A Plan To Merge
T
he River Hospital Board of Trustees and the
River Hospital Foundation Board are pleased
to announce that they have adopted a plan to merge
Foundation responsibilities with the Hospital. This
change involves a number of Foundation Board
members accepting Hospital Board positions. A
Hospital Board Development Committee, made up
of members of both boards, will oversee all activities
including volunteer cultivation, stewardship, and
events.
The decision to merge both Boards will revitalize
donor fundraising initiatives, streamline operations,
and create greater efficiencies, which are essential
requirements in the new health care environment
faced by all health care institutions.
Historically, the Foundation has been responsible
for soliciting, receiving and administering gifts,
endowments and other charitable contributions made
in support of the Hospital. The Hospital will continue
to ensure that all gifts are used in accordance with the
intent of its generous donors.
River Hospital appreciates the dedication, generosity
and community support that the Foundation has
provided over the years.
