Letter to the

Dear Neighbors,
What a difference a day can make. In a single day, lives can be forever changed by events,
innovations or even the smallest piece of information. This is especially true in healthcare, where
each day brings new and often unexpected challenges.
In a single day at Gwinnett Health System, hundreds of individuals seek and receive care, education,
support or assistance. Dozens of surgeries, both planned and unplanned, are performed. Emergency
caregivers flex with the dramatic shifts in caring for patients with severe trauma to minor injury, heart
attack to kidney stones. Babies arrive on or near their due dates or on their own timetables.
But because health concerns don’t keep a 9 to 5 schedule, the hospital workday never really ends.
Our staff members are on duty around the clock, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Each day
they must be prepared for anything, from natural disaster or public health emergency to unexpected complications from surgery or premature birth. Each member of our team daily anticipates
challenges and welcomes opportunities to make a difference in the lives of patients and their
families. And what a difference a day can make when the care you receive is provided by a team
committed to across-the-board excellence.

The pursuit of excellence —
What a difference a day can make
when the care you receive is provided by a team
committed to across-the-board excellence.
When you come to the hospital as a patient or to visit a friend or family member, you see only a
fraction of the activities that go into the daily work of providing care. The provision of quality health
services is complex and involves the contributions of many more people than you might realize.
Why is this significant? Because the quality of the care you receive depends on the entire team’s
best efforts, every day.
Though you rarely see their faces, the healthcare team includes many that play supporting roles.
From patient care to operating food, laundry and housekeeping services, maintaining equipment,
running the switchboard, keeping tabs on medical records, planning for future facilities and services and running the business end, it takes a talented team with a wide range of skills to deliver
the care you need and expect.
How does such a large team with such varied skills and schedules stay motivated to constantly give
their very best? By having compassion for patients and families, pride in their work and a belief
that the pursuit of excellence is a hallmark of our corporate culture.
This is what unites us as a team. Though our responsibilities range from nurse to chaplain to
engineer to volunteer, we are all driven by a common goal – to meet the needs and expectations
of our patients and to make sure they are treated with dignity and respect every day.
Read on to see how the pursuit of excellence is played out on a typical day in the life of Gwinnett
Health System.
Sincerely,
Franklin M. Rinker

Following knee-replacement surgery, a woman
is admitted to the Center for Orthopedics on the
Medical Center’s 6th Floor, where she receives
post-op follow-up and care from her surgeon
and orthopedic-specialty nurses. In a day or so,
she will begin therapy in the center’s Rehab
Gym, where patients work together with rehab
professionals in a supportive environment to
regain their mobility.
The newest members of the Friends of the
Foundation meet for the first in a series of
three seminars that will provide tours and
informative overviews of the System’s facilities
and programs. They’re about to learn more
about the positive impact the hospital system
and the Foundation have on the quality of life
in Gwinnett and why community support is
so important.

A surgical patient in Unit II at Joan Glancy
Memorial Hospital is on the road to recovery,
but needs a little lift to get through the long
day. With a knock on the door, a Joan Glancy
Memorial Hospital Volunteer ushers in just the
day-brightener the patient needs – a cheerful
smile, a friendly greeting and a handful of
get-well cards from friends and family members.
Did you
T
? Over 325 individuals from the community
annually donate about 40,000 hours of
expertise, time, energy and bright spirit
to the Hospital System – a contribution
roughly equal to the number of hours
worked in one year by 20 full-time
employees. That’s nearly 110 daily
hours of very welcome assistance!
Stomachs growl early at hospitals, and the new
GMC Dining Room is already bustling with activity.
One group of nutrition services specialists serves
up a wide array of lunch options to hungry staff
members and visitors in the Dining Room, while
another loads patient lunches on carts for delivery.
The new Dining Room is spacious, colorful and
flanked by a wall of windows. Outdoor seating
on the patio is shaded by market umbrellas.
Each day, our nutrition services staff serves
1,100 staff and visitors. The expanded menu
includes fresh-baked goods, from breads to
pastries to cakes, pies and cookies. Every day,
our bakers crank out 200 big, chewy cookies.
That’s over 4,000 a month!

have on plants . . . and people.

A man has kidney cancer, but he hasn’t responded well to traditional chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Even worse, he’s not a good candidate for
surgery. But he’s not out of options. A targeted
cancer treatment using radiofrequency ablation,
an interventional radiology procedure, can treat
his cancer without the more invasive techniques
of traditional surgery. Using imaging technology,
the interventional radiologist can deliver alternating electrical currents to the diseased tissue,
killing the cancer.
Interventional radiology has greatly improved
physicians’ ability to “see” inside the body using
highly precise imaging technology. Guided
imagery procedures are less invasive and less
expensive than many traditional surgeries.

A mom brings her young daughter to the
Gwinnett Physicians Group practice in Suwanee.
Earlier this morning, she noticed that her daughter
was unusually fretful and pulling on her ear. She
called for an appointment to have her family
physician check for a possible ear infection.
With five locations around the county, the
Gwinnett Physicians Group is one of only
374 physician groups nationally recognized
as a Better Performer by the Medical Group
Management Association. The physician offices
handle well over 64,000 patient visits a year,
or an average of about 175 a day.

Her appointment time was 3:20, and here she
is, already in an exam room getting her foot
X-rayed at the new 575 Outpatient Imaging
Center near Gwinnett Medical Center.
A 50-year-old long distance runner, she was
concerned by the ache in her left foot – afraid
it might be a stress fracture. Thanks to the
state-of-the-art technology of the two new
AXIOM Aristos FX systems at the center, the
amazingly clear images make it clear that her
foot ache is a deep bruise, not a stress fracture.
The 575 Outpatient Imaging Center specializes
in ease of access and effective diagnosis and
treatment. The Center, which opened in May
2003, handles approximately 125 patient visits
a day.

Concerned that his aging mother’s declining

a man doesn’t know where to turn for help.
He goes to his church and seeks the counsel
of his Parish Nurse. Quickly he realizes he has
come to the right place. He leaves with some
excellent advice, some helpful referrals and
some unexpected hope and encouragement.
The GHS Congregational Health Ministries
program sponsors Parish Nurses at ten
local congregations. The ten Parish Nurses
average 90 daily contacts with parishioners
through education, referrals, screenings,
personal counseling and hospital or home
visits. That’s an average of 33,000 contacts

A woman with the symptoms of a heart
attack arrives at the Emergency Department
by ambulance. After a quick assessment, a
physician administers a medication – within
minutes of her arrival – that prevents further
damage to her heart. She is stabilized and
admitted to the Cardiac Care Unit, where staff
members constantly monitor her condition as
she receives intensive care. Because the medication was administered early, the woman has a
much better chance to recover fully.
In 2002, the Emergency Departments at both
Gwinnett Medical Center and Joan Glancy
Memorial Hospital exceeded the National Registry
of Myocardial Infarction benchmark for timely
administration of drugs when patients come in
with symptoms of a heart attack.

Gwinnett Hospital System
Auxiliary and
Volunteers
In the past year, the 328 members of the Gwinnett Hospital
System Auxiliary donated 42,000 hours of skill, energy and
service to our organization. The Joan Glancy Memorial
Hospital Volunteers donated $25,000 to their hospital for
needed equipment. The Auxiliary contributed $145,250 to
the hospital system for equipment and supplies, including a
$50,000 pledge to the Foundation’s TIME MATTERS campaign. Gifts presented to departments that requested help
included funds to build a through-the-wall aquarium for
Gwinnett Extended Care Center. Our Integrative Healthcare
program received funds to provide healing music performances
by a Celtic harpist throughout our facilities. GHS joins many
other leading medical centers and hospitals across the country
who are introducing music into clinical settings as a form of
complementary care.

$2,250,000 Campaign
TIME MATTERS in the fight against Breast Cancer
A campaign to improve access to routine and diagnostic mammograms for the
women of our community and to expand services for breast cancer patients.
The American Cancer Society partnered with the Foundation to open the
Breast Health Education & Resource Center in October 2002. American Cancer
Society representatives (l-r) Steve Rabb and Sandy Ray present a $55,800 check
to GHS Foundation representatives Carolyn Hill, Wayne Sikes and John Riddle.
After kicking off the TIME MATTERS in the fight against
Breast Cancer campaign at the 2001 Ball, the Foundation
reached its goal of $2,250,000 in June of 2003. Because
of the hard work and dedication of Foundation volunteers
and generous donations from both volunteers and the
community, the campaign was completed six months earlier
than anticipated.
Marion Allison Webb Center
for Screening Mammography
Four new mammography machines were added at this screening center, reducing the wait for a routine mammogram from
70 days to just a few days. The number of patient visits per
month increased from 650 to 1,600.
Women’s Diagnostic Center at
Gwinnett Women’s Pavilion
The renovated and expanded center for diagnostic mammography was completed in June 2003. It includes such support
services as the Breast Health Education and Resource Center
and the Women’s Pavilion Boutique, which offers support
products for breast cancer patients.
Care-a-Van Mobile Mammography Unit
The Care-a-Van brings screening mammograms right to
the doors of businesses, churches and organizations in our
community. It reaches over 2,100 patients per year. After
many miles and mammograms, it needs to be replaced.

Computer-Aided Detection
Computer-aided detection (CAD) has made its breakthrough
as cutting edge technology in mammography. CAD is a
software program that actually “reads” the mammogram and
points out areas that are hard to find or may be overlooked by
the human eye. If CAD detects any breast abnormalities on
the mammogram film, it marks them. The radiologist can
then review the mammogram film to determine whether the
marked areas are suspicious and require further examination.
The Foundation plans for the continuation of the TIME
MATTERS campaign to pursue upgrading and expanding
mammography services.

STARS (Associate Giving Program)
STARS (Standing Together Associates Reach Success) is a voluntary giving program created by the employees of Gwinnett Health
System to fund projects that benefit our patients, their families and
our community. There are currently 1,500 associates who give to
the STARS program through payroll deduction, representing every
department of the Health System. Donations received through the
program represent a significant part of all money raised by the GHS
Foundation each year.
Currently, proceeds from the STARS program benefit the
Foundation’s campaign, TIME MATTERS in the fight against Breast
Cancer and the Associate Benevolence Fund. The Benevolence Fund
helps associates in the event of a sudden or chronic illness of the
associate, spouse or child; death of a close family member; an
accident or catastrophic loss; or job loss due to illness, injury or
unforeseen circumstances.
