2013 Annual Report - MaineGeneral Health Office of Philanthropy
A jour na l o f we l l n e s s a n d go o d h e a lth c are A new day! Alfond Center for Health opens November 9 fa l l 2 0 1 3 Raising the bar: All new, just for you! Message from the CEO A new day is coming! As the November 9 date for the move to the new Alfond Center for Health approaches, the level of energy among staff and the many local public safety organizations involved in planning the move (ambulance services, local police, state police, the Maine Department of Transportation) is high as we work together to ensure a safe transfer of patients. The camaraderie and teamwork demonstrated throughout the past several years of design and construction has brought us to this day, this one moment in time, when the remarkable new services and capabilities of the Alfond Center for Health truly become reality for all residents and visitors to the Kennebec Valley. Our goal is to make the transition as comfortable as possible for patients and their families and as seamless as possible for all our communities. On the last page of this issue you will find a move day schedule that provides important details you should know about the move day and the weekend of November 9. HealthMatters is published as a service for the people of the Kennebec Valley region. Information is written by MaineGeneral’s Marketing and Communications staff. MaineGeneral Health 6 East Chestnut Street • Augusta, ME* 149 North Street • Waterville, ME 30 Chase Avenue • Waterville ME *November 9, 2013 35 Medical Center Parkway • Augusta, ME Speaking of weekend excitement, in this issue we share some stories, comments and photos from the Alfond Center for Health Dedication Weekend events enjoyed by more than 12,000 residents of our communities in late September. The weather was spectacular, the turnout stunning and the energy and pride off the charts. My only wish is that Harold Alfond could have been with us on those days to see his original vision fulfilled. We are both humbled and honored by the generosity of the Alfond family and all the donors who gave generously to bring state-of-the-art health care to our communities in the shape of this beautiful new medical center. Built with pride by Maine people for the people of Maine, it is now our mission to breathe life into this new building by providing the highest level of compassionate care, healing and wellness represented in every design feature of our new campus.

As a new day for health care in the Kennebec Valley approaches, you can count on the MaineGeneral team to fufill the vision for high-quality health care close to home. Patients have access to surrounding healing gardens with a fountain and outdoor walking trails. From the Welcome Center, take a left and you’re on Main Street, a major path of patient travel organized to make it easy to find and access services. patient wait times. Overall, more than 250 employees, physicians and members of the Patient Family Advisory Council participated in the new hospital’s design.

Copyright© 2013 2 HealthMatters Two-story windows flood light into the Welcome Center, which sets the stage for the soaring views of nature and light-filled spaces found throughout the 640,000-square-foot facility. Interior courtyards and skylights also bring daylight inside. Outpatient lab, diagnostic imaging with a dedicated entrance and space for women, primary and specialty physician offices and a grab-and-go café are all located off Main Street. At the end, furthest from the noise, are the inpatient wings. Main Street is one of two main paths of travel, and is designed to be the primary path of travel for outpatients and visitors. The back corridor is intended for staff and patient transports. The goal is to protect patient privacy at their most vulnerable times. If you turn right at the Welcome Center, you’ll arrive at the 300-seat Prescott Education Pavilion complete with demonstration teaching kitchen. Working with architects gave MaineGeneral staff a rare opportunity to rethink everything from grouping related services together to finding ways to streamline processes to reduce Services in the new hospital are organized much more intuitively making for more efficient patient flow. For example, pre-surgical testing area is located directly across from surgeons’ office practice space and is also on the same floor as surgical services. Maternity and Pediatrics is on the second floor, readily accessible to the ORs if a C-section is needed. From the Emergency Department, the Mental Health and Substance Abuse inpatient unit is a direct elevator ride away. Consistency in room layout is safer for patients and more efficient for staff. Patient floors have 36 rooms organizated into three, 12-room neighborhoods, each with its own nurses’ station, dictation, supply and medication areas. Shorter distances to travel mean more time with patients. HealthMatters 3 We’re ready! When the doors open Nov. 9 and the first patients arrive, staff will be ready. Training on everything from how to work the new beds and monitors, to the nurse call system, and to all the new technology and equipment to navigating in the new space got under way in August and will take nine weeks to complete. In all, MaineGeneral invested $1.2 million to train more than 1,700 employees. “We put a lot of time, effort and money into training to make sure everyone is ready from day one,” says Rochelle Findlay, administrative director of Clinical Education and Practice, who heads the training program. In addition to the daily on-site, hands-on training, all departments came together for two full days of dress rehearsals where they practiced real-life medical scenarios to make sure everything and everyone functions seamlessly. After the first full “day in the life” in September, a follow-up to test adjustments that were made, took place in October. Patients the focus of care While many area residents were wowed by MaineGeneral’s new Alfond Center for Health at the open house in September, for Sherri Woodward, senior vice president of patient services and chief nurse executive, it’s not about the building, it’s about the care. “We’re focusing on what’s new and different. We don’t need to teach staff clinical skills—those they have—but we need to teach them all the new technology, equipment and workflows that are different here,” Findlay explains. “As beautiful as this new hospital is, the most important thing about it is what it allows us to do to help our patients and their families. It gives us an environment and the tools that allow us to do our very best work, to focus on the patient,” she says. To inject fun while learning, departments organized scavenger hunts. “Each department determined the important things their staff need to be able to locate, places they need to find regularly and built those into scavenger hunts. It helps staff become familiar with the building and areas they will commonly go to,” Findlay explains. ▲ Trainer Jeanne Pelletier, RN, demonstrates how the new lifts in diagnostic imaging will work with colleague John Weinberg playing the role of a wheelchair-bound patient and Angel St. Pierre assisting. “Training is going great; we’re having lots of fun. Absolutely we will be ready. We can’t wait to open and settle in,” Pelletier says. While training varies by department, all staff is trained in: • Orientation to the building and their specific areas; • Basic office equipment; and • Emergency preparedness to familiarize everyone with the roles they play for every emergency code. Vital Sign Monitor The all private rooms include sleep sofas so family members can stay right in the room. They also allow patients to talk to their caregivers without being overheard and allow patients to get better rest. Although the environment is key, Woodward is quick to point out culture changes that have been going on behind the scenes at MaineGeneral for several years. Window goes to the floor to offer patients views outside from the bedside. Ceiling lift tracks for patient positioning “As we’ve been building a new hospital, we’ve been hard at work to change our culture to become an organization that puts our patients and families at the center of all we do and to provide excellent care, every patient, every time. What that means is that we are dedicated to listening carefully, to partnering with our patients and families to exceed their expectations.” Ultimately that will be how success is measured; treating patients and families the way they want to be treated, the way we want our own families treated. Couch folds into a bed Flat screen TVs provide health education programming and regular channels & movies To train such a large group of people, Findlay took a collaborative approach. “Leadership identified lead trainers for each department, who in turn selected super users who train everyone in their department. We had more than 240 lead trainers and super users. Much of the training materials are standardized and will be used going forward to train new employees. The length of training varied by department, depending on what was new, but ranged from a few hours to three days. Most of the new technology learning comes near the end, closer to the time it will be used, Findlay explains. ▲ Findlay says the training went unbelievably well. “I couldn’t be more pleased. We’re hearing nothing but positive things. The lead trainers and super users took their responsibilities very seriously and they’re doing a great job.” 4 HealthMatters Patient Room Part of that is having the space to allow families to spend as much time as possible with patients. “We know patients do better when they are surrounded by loved ones.” Departments got together for two full days of “dress rehearsals” using volunteers as patients and running through several real-life scenarios. Not Shown: WOW: Work stations on wheels will allow bedside documentation Nurse Call & TV remote are both in one unit. Patients can call nurses directly. Each room has its own private bathroom with European shower and a handrail leading in for safety HealthMatters 5 Advanced care for babies close to home Offering a safe, healing environment New Mental Health & Substance Abuse unit A large skylight floods natural light into the dayroom of MaineGeneral’s new inpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse unit. As the multipurpose area where patients will dine, receive group therapy, participate in activities and visit with family members, it’s important that it feels like home, says Shelly King, nurse manager of the unit. MaineGeneral welcomes a new addition to its family of maternity and pediatric care. For Kennebec Valley residents, advanced neonatal care will now be close to home with the opening of the new Level II neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Staffed by a team of specially trained doctors and nurses, the NICU at the new hospital is unique to the region. It will care for babies born prematurely (34 weeks or more), having low birth weight or requiring advanced care. This new service offers advanced technology, such as ventilators for babies and special beds to regulate body temperature. Abundant natural light and warm, restful colors are only a few of the many details that went into the design of the 30-bed, all private room inpatient unit. “For the first time, moms who go into labor early can stay close to home and have their babies locally,” explains Annette Bowman, director of Maternity “We offer expertise and a watchful eye for our youngest patients, which both parents and medical staff are grateful for. Most moms and babies can now be cared for close to home.” & Pediatrics. She estimates that last year 34 babies and 30 moms had to be transferred to Portland or Bangor. “Families won’t have to travel to receive care we will be able to provide. The stress of transportation and separation will be less of a burden. We are thrilled to be expanding our scope of care. It’s the right thing to do for patients and families.” “It’s exciting to be able to work with a brand new service line in the hospital,” says Gabrielle Harpell, MD, lead pediatric hospitalist. “We’re putting together many different types of care, including physical and occupational therapy, food and nutrition and respiratory therapy, and we’re all working together on this new service to provide our babies with the very best hospital care.” Supporting the Level II NICU and care of children throughout MaineGeneral is a team of four pediatric hospitalists. A pediatrician specially trained to take care of children in the hospital will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to care for babies in the Level II NICU and children up to age 18 throughout the hospital. In addition to caring for babies, Harpell, along with Rosie Davis, MD, Kelsey Walton, MD and Clota Snow, MD, consult with Emergency Department staff as needed and support medical staff in the community. MaineGeneral will continue to partner with the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital in Portland to provide care for children with more serious needs 6 HealthMatters ▲ Shown, from left, are MaineGeneral’s pediatric hospitalists Gabrielle Harpell, MD, Rosie Davis, MD, Kelsey Walton, MD and Clota Snow, MD. such as heart problems and cancer. “We’re a resource for the system,” says Harpell of her team. “We offer expertise and a watchful eye for our youngest patients, which both parents and medical staff are grateful for. Most moms and babies can now be cared for close to home. If they do need to go to Portland, they can come back to MaineGeneral sooner. Improving our scope of pediatric care is definitely a win-win for the littlest members of our community.” Natural light extends to patient rooms where large windows frame views of nature. Instead of security screens, unbreakable glass provides the same safety feature without blocking the view or the light. “First and foremost, we want to provide a very safe, yet warm, welcoming and patientcentered space for our patients,” explains Marc Sirois, administrative director of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. “In our world, the treatment is the environment so it is very important that we offer a therapeutic, healing environment. It’s what our patients need,” King adds. The design was a collaborative effort over several years. “When we sat down with the architects and designers, we had a very comprehensive list of suggestions and recommendations we collected from our patients, visitors and staff. Everyone was engaged in the process with patients at the center,” Sirois recalls. The staff also toured recently renovated psychiatric inpatient units at other Maine hospitals to learn what worked well and what didn’t. Everything, from the plumbing and other bathroom fixtures, lights, outlets, hardware and furnishings was specially selected to significantly reduce the risk of patient self-harm. The unit includes an exercise room where patients can work out. “That was a specific patient request,” says King. “We’ll have exercise equipment and mats for floor exercises and yoga.” “In our world, the treatment is the environment so it is very important that we offer a therapeutic, healing environment. It’s what our patients need.” Another unique design feature is a comfort room, where patients who need or want quiet time can listen to soothing music or watch a video. Patients can also select and adjust colored lights to change the room’s ambiance. HealthMatters 7 Healing for patients and families When the new 20-bed Physical Rehabilitation Unit opens at the Alfond Center for Health, patients will have access to all the latest technology and comfort measures to help them regain independence after an amputation, stroke, hip fracture, or brain or spinal cord injury. Outside, they will also have access to a beautiful rehabilitation garden. The rehabilitation garden is part of the extensive Healing Gardens that surround the new hospital. Walking trails that wind around the building complete the ready access to nature. The same scenes of nature are framed in the soaring windows throughout the hospital. To Mary Melville, administrative director of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, the outdoor space for physical and occupational therapy is one of the items near the top of the “wish list” she has compiled during the more than 35 years she’s been at MaineGeneral. Outdoor spaces: 8 HealthMatters “When I think of all the things we wished we could do to improve patients’ and families’ experiences and help get them back home comfortably and safely, it’s really exciting they are a reality in the new hospital,” says Melville, a physical therapist by training. “When I was a clinician I remember thinking, ‘If we could just get these patients outside to breathe fresh air, smell the cut grass, feel the heat of the sunshine and the breeze on their faces, they would do so much better.” Mary Melville For her, the garden is key. “Our patients are often with us longer than an average hospitalization so being able to get outside is very important. When I was a clinician I remember thinking, ‘If we could just get these patients outside to breathe fresh air, smell the cut grass, feel the heat of the sunshine and the breeze on their faces, they would do so much better.’” Overlooking an outdoor fountain, the rehabilitation garden has different surfaces including tar, gravel and grass for patients to practice walking on. The space will include a seasonal garden patients will plant and tend as part of their therapy. Often when patients are gardening they often don’t even realize they’re doing therapy, Melville says. respite and reflection, is found in the Healing Gardens. Possible in large part because of the generosity of well-known philanthropists William and Elsie Viles, the gardens contain pavers and bricks that reflect the support of the people of the communities of the Kennebec Valley. The two miles of walking trails that surround the hospital are named the Hayden Trails, that acknowledges Lewis Hayden, who donated part of the 160-acre site now home to the hospital and the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care. The trails are linked to the cancer center gardens and paths. Flowing from the rehabilitation garden, a different therapy, a serene place of HealthMatters 9 Thayer Center for Health Here is the full list of services and departments that will be located at the Thayer Center for Health: Business as usual Meanwhile, it’s business as usual at the Thayer Center for Health for all of the outpatient services located there. This includes the Emergency Department, Same Day Surgery, Endoscopy, the Outpatient Lab and Radiology & Diagnostic Imaging. Once the patients are safely moved to the Alfond Center for Health Nov. 9, construction will start at Thayer. When it is finished in the fall of 2014, the Thayer Center for Health will be the most comprehensive outpatient center in Maine. 10 HealthMatters The services now offered at the Seton Campus, 30 Chase Ave., Waterville, will stay where they are until the renovations are complete at the Thayer Center for Health.

They came as proud employees, eager to show family members and friends the future of health care in the Kennebec Valley. They came as area residents, excited to see their new hospital. They came in infant carriers, by foot or pushed in wheelchairs — a sea of humanity with broad smiles and wide eyes. But, most of all, they came, some 12,000 strong, as MaineGeneral opened the doors of its brilliant, spacious and thoughtfully designed $312 million hospital for a glimpse of what an extraordinary collaboration of talents, determination and perseverance can accomplish. The first patients at the Alfond Center for Health won’t arrive until Nov. 9, but visitors of all ages and backgrounds took time during a 12 HealthMatters beautiful early autumn weekend to stroll through the expansive corridors and grounds of a state-of-the-art health care facility designed and built with patients and their families in mind. s Left to right: Gra Hatala, s Mary and Hal Mollerus, Skowhegan: Travis Cummings, Amy Powell, Greg Powell, Deborah Benson-Alfond, Carlos Nido, Rebekah Alfond and Peter Alfond. “Wow, amazing technology.

It’s about time; it was a long time coming. “ Oakland: “It’s amazing. We love the healing gardens. I think it’s going to bring a lot of peace for a lot of people; a way to promote healing. The Spiritual Center is very peaceful here. It’s been very well thought out. I think they took into consideration a lot of patients’ comments.” s Susanne and Roland LaPointe, Vassalboro: “It’s just a beautiful facility. I can’t imagine the providers it’s going to attract. It’s amazing. It’s so nice to have this in the area. Whoever planned all this has done a fabulous job.” HealthMatters 13 Medical MedicalOffice OfficeBuilding Building A key feature of the Alfond Center for Health is easy access to the services you need the most. That’s why you’ll find many primary care and specialty care offices (like family medicine and surgery) close to the medical center entrance. The Scott B. Bullock Medical Office Building of the Alfond Center for Health houses many of these practices so that you can see your medical staff and get follow-up care all at the same place. Additionally, many of the radiology testing and lab services are located across the hall from the medical office building. This means you can go to one place for many of your health needs. We plan to offer this same attention to convenience and access at the Thayer Center for Health. While careful attention was made to give you the highest level of convenience, we also know that many of our patients come from outside Augusta or Waterville. The offices you rely on in your community will stay there, closest to you. MaineGeneral Surgery Augusta • Waterville Here is a listing of the offices in the Scott B.

Art: Inspired by nature, made in Maine The art collection, from the three commissioned pieces, to the more than 200 paintings, photographs, collages and sculptures all have one thing in common—they’re all by Maine artists. David T. Frost M.D., FACC Heinrich H. M. Grube M.D., PhD Edward Teufel M.D. Maine Medical Partners -MaineHealth Cardiology Augusta is moving to the Alfond Center for Health at MaineGeneral Medical Center. In this location you can find our Board certified cardiologists along with a wider range of services, including nuclear and echo diagnostics. It’s the highest quality of care, close to home. Starting in December, you can reach us at 35 Medical Center Parkway, Suite 101, Augusta, ME 04330 or call (207) 430-4321. Lesley S. West M.D. Kevin M. White M.D. mainemedicalpartners.org/cardio While all very different, from the conceptualization to the materials used and methods of construction, artists Lauren Fensterstock, Matt Hutton and Jim Creighton — the three artists whose works were commissioned specially for the hospital — share a commonality: all drew creative inspiration from nature. Jim Creighton’s silver leaf tree is based on a Ukranian crabapple tree in the Viles Arboretum in Augusta, near his studio in Gardiner. Pressed between two pieces of glass, his goal was to evoke a sense of biology — preserving a “sample” like a slide for studying under a microscope. Located outside the critical care unit, Creighton says it “contributes to a feeling of a healing environment.” He loves the idea that everybody will get to see his piece, not just gallery goers, which, he says is typically what happens to pieces of art. “It’s not too avant garde so everyone can relate to it. That’s the intention.” Portland artist Fensterstock ‘s “Garden Path” on display outside the Maternity & Pediatrics Unit, is a series of five framed pieces, spanning a 30-foot space. It depicts more than a dozen plants and flowers painstakingly created with thousands of hand-cut pieces of paper assembled with tweezers, toothpicks and a lot of glue. Fensterstock, who has spent a lot of time in hospitals, says, “I think it’s an important space, a hopeful space and one in which people can reflect about what’s most important in their lives. I hope my work is calming and peaceful for patients and their families.” Hutton, an artist who works solely with wood, is an associate professor at the Maine College of Art in Portland and chair of its Woodworking & Furniture Design Program. He said he was moved to create a functional sculpture for a facility designed down to the smallest of details as a place of healing enhanced by its natural environment. Hutton says his excitement about the project grew when he learned his art would be installed in the hospital’s Spiritual Center. His finished product has a 12-foot long tabletop crafted from catalpa, with a white collection container underneath through which prayers or thoughts can be left.

In early 2014 MaineGeneral Health will launch the Healthy Living Resource Center, a new program designed to support and promote healthy living and healing within our communities. Generously funded by the Peter Alfond Foundation, the Healthy Living Resource Center program will offer patients, families, employees and our community tools and opportunities to enhance physical well-being through healthy cooking, healthy eating and physical movement. The program also offers a focus on social, emotional, spiritual and environmental well-being through programs that reduce stress and anxiety and promote mindful living. We would like to hear from you as we develop this program. ▲ Healthy eating demonstrations/ classes put on by our chefs will take place regularly in our teaching kitchen, located in the Prescott Education Pavilion next to the lobby.
