A message from the President:
Our Pillars of Excellence
I hope everyone is enjoying the summer season - beaches, backyard
barbecues, family and friends – it’s a great time of year, filled with a lot of
memory making moments. At Mather, we’ve also had some memorable
summer moments. Among them, our Voyage to Excellence inauguration and
the dedication of our four “Pillars of Excellence” stand out as my favorite
event.
I especially enjoyed that day for several reasons – it was a great summer
day; it was an opportunity for our Mather Hospital Family to gather together; it
was the official launch of our Voyage to Excellence; it celebrated our ongoing
commitment to our patients and it offered us a chance to honor our top
Kenneth D. Roberts Service Excellence employees… and it was great!
President
The purpose of our “Voyage” is to reach a new and important vision – to
become the best community hospital in New York State; we want Mather to be
the best place to receive healthcare and the best place to work. The four great pillars in our courtyard
support the realization of John T. Mather’s personal vision – creating the first community hospital in the
Town of Brookhaven. What could be more fitting than to have these great pillars of John T. Mather’s
vision now serve as icons for our vision – to be the best community hospital in New York State?
As we sail in pursuit of becoming the best, we will build upon our four “Pillars of Excellence” –
People, Service, Quality & Safety and Innovation & Growth – the core values, which will guide all our
future activities.
I take great pride in the fact that the Mather Hospital Family always rises above the challenge. Our
seven Voyage to Excellence employee teams have hit the ground running with several projects currently
underway. Mather Hospital, as a whole, has embraced the spirit of the Voyage early on, resulting in
improved patient satisfaction scores already.
Our Voyage to Excellence is an exciting and fun opportunity for all of us to help make coming to
Mather Hospital an even better experience for our patients, their families and ourselves. Thank you for
your ongoing commitment to our patients and our community. I look forward to working with all of you
as we Voyage together.

caring for the community
mather hospital celebrates the
2008 theodore roosevelt award recipients
Fifty years ago, the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council created the Theodore Roosevelt Awards to honor those who demonstrate exceptional volunteer
commitment to a member hospital and their community. Mather Hospital’s 2008 Theodore Roosevelt Award recipients (below) will be recognized October
10th at the 43rd Annual One Enchanted Evening gala for aiding the progress and development of Mather Hospital. Special honors also will be presented to
two community pillars for their philanthropic support.
Randall Schrager, M.D.,
joined the hospital’s medical staff in
1993 and has been
one of Mather’s
most dedicated
surgeons and
effective leaders.
Dr. Schrager has
been director of
general surgery
since 2003. As chairman of Mather’s
medical board and president of the
medical staff, Dr. Schrager has
introduced innovative management
techniques that have allowed more
time to be focused on issues that
improve patient care. His colleagues
credit him with continuing to foster
productive and efficient meetings
and board activity.
“It’s a privilege to work with such an
esteemed medical staff,” Dr.
Schrager says. “Mather is an
outstanding community hospital and
I am proud to be part of the Mather
medical team.”
Steven Rothstein, M.D.,
Fredric Matlin, M.D.,
Paul Elliott
has been a valued member of the
Mather Hospital
Family since 1984.
has been an esteemed member of
the Mather Hospital
Family for more
than 20 years.
is chairman, president and
commercial
director of
Prudential CRES
Real Estate, one of
the top
commercial
services in the
region. Elliott’s
level of success in
business is matched by his
commitment to community.
Dr. Rothstein has
served as chairman
of the OR
committee since
2003. A respected
leader of the
medical staff, he has served as
president in 2003, vice president in
2002 and secretary-treasurer
in 2001.
Known for his business acumen,
Dr. Rothstein has an ability to
evaluate the long-term impact of
decisions and has proved
invaluable to his department and
the hospital. “Mather is an excellent
hospital that gives so much back to
the community,” Dr. Rothstein says.
“For me to do the same is the right
thing. It’s important.”
Dr. Matlin’s
technical expertise
was a key factor in
Siemen/Philips
Corp.’s selection of
Mather as a clinical introduction
site for a sophisticated operating
room monitoring system. His
penchant for research and cost
consciousness has helped to
ensure state-of-the-art equipment
for Mather physicians and highquality care for patients. Dr. Matlin
has also been instrumental in the
planning stages of operating
facilities, ensuring optimal
installation of anesthesia utilities.
“I am very pleased that I am able to
contribute to Mather’s quality of
service,” Dr. Matlin says.
Great Rock Golf Club and the
adjacent Blackwells Restaurant in
Wading River, which he co-owns,
are the sites of Mather Hospital’s
Annual Golf and Tennis Classic to
benefit nursing education programs
and An Evening of Fabulous Food,
which supports the chest pain
emergency room.
“Mather is the hospital my family
uses whenever there’s a need,”
Elliott says. “I was quite honored
when they told me I was receiving
this award.”

3rd, more than 1,200 walkers raised upwards of $130,000 for the Fortunato Breast
Health Center, breast cancer treatment and obesity awareness and education programs
at Mather Hospital.
After completing the journey, walkers were treated to a barbeque lunch and
refreshments served by members of the Port Jefferson Lion’s Club.
With a Little Help, Tony Wiley
Kicks the Habit
How can I prevent staph or
MRSA skin infections?
“I was a two-time drop-out of the
Suffolk County program,” recalls CT
Supervisor Tony Wiley, a 32-year
smoker, who marks his 18th month of
being smoke-free in August. “I tried
hypnotism, lozenges and other
medication. Nothing worked.”
Determined more than ever to quit
for good, Wiley signed up for the Get
Quit program offered through
Employee Health Service, which provides prescription Chantix to participants.
Chantix is designed to block nicotine addiction receptors in the brain.
“With Chantix, the nicotine doesn’t do anything for you,” says Wiley. “It took a
lot of the depression away and it made quitting so easy.”
Now, he’s not just a lot healthier, he’s a little richer. Get Quit Mather employees
who stay smoke-free for a full year will be reimbursed for the Chantix ($30 per
prescription) and also receive a $100 bonus.
For more information, contact Employee Health Service at 476-2725. If inhouse, call extension 5903.
Practice good hygiene:
• Keep your hands clean
by washing
thoroughly with soap
and water or using an
alcohol-based hand
sanitizer.
• Keep cuts and scrapes
clean and covered
with a bandage until
healed.
• Avoid contact with
other people’s wounds or bandages.
• Avoid sharing personal items such as towels or razors.
Are staph and MRSA infections treatable?
Yes. Most staph and MRSA infections are treatable with antibiotics. If
you are given an antibiotic, take all of the doses, even if the infection is
getting better, unless your doctor tells you to stop taking it. Do not share
antibiotics with other people or save unfinished antibiotics to use at
another time.

wonderful,” said Fisher.

hours a day.

State Senator LaValle presents $300K for
State-of-Art Imaging Systems
New York State Senator Kenneth P. LaValle recently arranged for John T. Mather Memorial Hospital to receive
$300,000 to upgrade its operating rooms’ imaging system from film to high definition digital display. The new
system provides surgeons with immediate access to images (x-rays, CAT scans, MRIs, etc.) and with greater
detail than traditional film. The funding has also made it possible to upgrade the hospital’s EKG system from
traditional paper print-out to an internet accessible system that displays results digitally on screen. The combined
benefits of these state-of-the-art upgrades provide superior diagnostic capabilities for Mather physicians.
