here are four women in Livingston HealthCare’s Human Resources Department. They
manage payroll and benefits for employees and their families. They recruit and interview new
employees. They educate and support Livingston HealthCare’s staff. It is their job to ensure that
Livingston HealthCare has the right people with the right resources to fulfill our mission.
The human resources staff are part of the 339 individuals at Livingston HealthCare who
are focused on the same job—to improve the health of the Park County community. All of these
individuals work together each year to enhance the services we provide, create new programs, and
upgrade technology—to provide the best quality care to the people who live here.

In FY 2009, installing digital mammography was a big accomplishment. To celebrate
this and the launch of a breast health education program, the staff from radiology
dressed up and rode together in the Livingston Roundup Rodeo Parade.

Digital Mammography
Survival from breast cancer has dramatically improved in the past 30 years. This is generally
credited to improved screening technology and recommended annual screenings for all
women over 40.
Today, digital mammography is the “standard of care,” and in April 2009,
Livingston HealthCare installed digital mammography to improve care
for the women of Park County.

Any change in technology—to improve care or the way we provide care—
requires a team of people focused on the same result. The upgrade to
digital mammography is an excellent example of nearly 50 individuals
from more than ten departments who researched, planned, and made

all the changes needed to create a seamless transition to better care.
As a result, in the last few months of the fiscal year, hundreds of women
were screened with a new technology that can detect more cancer
earlier in many women.

Electronic Health Records
Advanced technology is an integral part of providing quality healthcare. Livingston
HealthCare introduced electronic health records in 2007 with a plan for incorporating all
aspects of patient care into the record over three years.
This technology dramatically changes the way care is delivered—with
significant benefits to patients in the quality of the care they receive.
In FY 2009, three key additions were made to increase the benefits of
this technology:

Facility Enhancements
Livingston Memorial Hospital was built in 1955 when most healthcare services were
inpatient based and there was only one drug available in the pharmacy “closet.” Today,
healthcare is dramatically different.
Even as we plan for a new facility, we work to maintain and make
ongoing upgrades in our current buildings to continue to accommodate
quality of care for our patients.

Financials
O
ne day each month, Livingston HealthCare employees come together to talk about what is
going on around the organization. The first topic each month is how the organization is doing financially.
It’s important for each employee to know, because their everyday actions impact the bottom line.
Why is it so important for a not-for-profit healthcare organization to have a positive bottom line? It is
as simple as this: A “margin” is necessary to fulfill our mission. Our earnings are reinvested in this
community—in the people, facilities, equipment, and programs that allow Livingston HealthCare to
meet your healthcare needs.

the hospital, clinics and other services, we provide care to

patient information so the providers have a complete medical

Thanks to the Ough Charitable Trust, Northwestern Energy, and Livingston School
Districts 4 & 1, Livingston HealthCare was able to rent the Super Colon for the Fall
Health Festival. This inflatable, interactive replica of a human colon teaches people
about the risks, symptoms, prevention, early detection and treatment for colorectal
cancer. As a result, the number of people who received colonoscopies increased by
almost 20% in the three months following the Fall Health Festival.
