Prayer Service
Prayer Service will be held
at the Bell Hospital Chapel
every Wednesday from 10:15 10:30am. Employees Welcome!
Karen Lassila, Human Resources
Karen has been an advocate for
employees for the past few years
as we moved from an insured
benefits plan to our self-funded
plan. She worked tirelessly to
resolve employees' issues with
our TPA, NGS. She advocated
for improved customer service
with NGS and began meeting
weekly to keep the concerns of
our employees' at the forefront
with our vendor. When we decided to change carriers, no one
was more happy than Karen.
She was very concerned that
some employees were postponing services because they simply could not afford them. She
worked long days and weekends
to ensure the transition to BCBS
was seamless - and it was. In
addition, with the loss of both
of her co-workers, Karen took
on additional duties to ensure
employees had access to HR information and resources. Karen
likes her job and it shows.
Karen is a Benefits Specialist in
the Human Resources Department at Bell and has been employed here for thirteen years.
Karen has two sons - the oldest lives in California with his
fiance’ and daughter, and her
younger son will start his second year at NMU this Fall. She
enjoys activities and visiting
with family and friends, taking
her dog for walks, exploring
places she has never been, finding deals with her rummaging
friends, hockey, bowling, and is
learning to golf this summer!
Volunteer of the Month
Rita Corradino & Gloria Gagliardi
Rita Corradino & Gloria
Gagliardi have been volunteers at Bell Hospital probably longer than what they
want to admit, but time sure
does fly when you are having fun. They worked at the
Gift Shop at the old hospital
and now up at the new one.
They have now decided to
try their hand at the Coffee
Cart where they are doing a
marvelous job! Whenever
baking needs to be done,
both answer with a prompt
"yes," and, "no problem."
We thank you both for your
commitment and dedication
to Bell Hospital and its Auxiliary. We are appreciative of
all you do and look forward
to seeing your smiling faces
for more years to come!

MRI Breast Imaging Now Available at Bell
Congratulations to the Following...
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the breast is a
noninvasive method to create detailed pictures of the breast
and surrounding tissues. It may be done in combination with
mammography or ultrasound. However, it is not a replacement for mammography.
Quayle Graduates
MRI of
the breast is performed to:
•assess multiple tumor locations, especially prior to breast conservation surgery
•identify early breast cancer not detected through other means, especially in women with dense breast tissue and those at high risk for the disease
•evaluate abnormalities detected by mammography or ultrasound
•distinguish between scar tissue and recurrent tumors
•determine whether cancer detected by mammogra-
phy, ultrasound, or after surgical biopsy has spread further in the breast or into the chest wall
•assess the effect of chemotherapy
•provide additional information on a diseased breast to make treatment decisions
•determine the integrity of breast implants
Without contrast material, an MRI of the breast can show:
•breast tissue density
•cysts
•enlarged ducts
•hematomas
•leaking or ruptured breast implants
•the presence of enlarged lymph nodes
Lindy Quayle, daughter of
Greg and Linda (Surgical Services) Quayle, graduated from
NMU on April 20, 2011, with
her associate degree in surgical technology. Lindy is a Bell
Baby and works at Woodland
Assisted Living and NMU.
She is enrolled at NMU for
the fall to obtain her RN degree.

What Is Right In Healthcare
Far-Reaching Reputation
We have experienced very good
results from our implementation
of Studer Group’s principles.
We received improved patient
and employee satisfaction
scores right from the start. Our
patients have never received
better care! We found out how
far our efforts had gone when
one of our employees told us
about a call from her brotherin-law, Casey, a riverboat captain
who lives in Pensacola and
works out of Houston.
Casey had lost most of his
eyesight and couldn’t work.
He had been referred by his
employer’s insurance company
to a specialist in Houston for
surgery, but the procedure did
not correct the problem. He
was then sent to a specialist in
Miami, who told him there was
nothing to be done. Casey’s
company was desperately trying
to find help for him.
After much research, Casey
received a call recommending
a doctor in Jackson, Tennessee.
Casey told them he was familiar
with Jackson. They explained
that the Jackson physician
recommended that he have
the surgery performed not in
Jackson, but at Hardin Medical
Center in Savannah, Tennessee,
because of the facility’s low
infection rate. Casey laughed
Standard of the Month:
APPEARANCE
as he explained that his brother
lived in Savannah and that his
sister-in-law actually worked at
that very hospital!
We are pleased to report that
Casey had his surgery here and
is doing great. He’s back at
work, and he can see! Our “Port
of Excellence” initiative reached
all the way from our small west
Tennessee town on the banks of
the Tennessee River to Texas.
How wonderful to know we
were able to help another river
traveler continue his journey!

Auxiliary News
Thanks to all who purchased
sheets and blankets in the linen
sale in April. It was a huge success and raised lots of money
for the Auxiliary in just one day.
We are planning to host another
linen-type sale in November.
It will be at least 2 days, longer
hours and hopefully travel to
Teal Lake too so everyone can
take advantage of the deals.
The Auxiliary Board is looking
for a legislative representative to
advise on political views and issues as they relate to volunteering and hospital funding. This
position would be volunteer and
take 1-2 hours a month. We are
looking for someone involved in
politics who is willing to do the
research and forward the information to the Auxiliary Board.
The Standard of the Month for
June is APPEARANCE. Our
professional appearance is a
direct reflection of our care to
our customers. Our appearance does not only include how
we look, but also how our work
space looks. When considering
your own appearance, remember the following:
• Wear ID badges that
are easily read by our
customers at all times.
• Be responsible for
maintaining an uncluttered, neat and safe
workplace.
• Make your department
or work area a welcoming one.
• Be responsible to pick
up trash, report things
promptly such as burned
out lights, overflowing
trash, broken items, spills, etc.
• Follow the dress code
to reinforce professionalism.
• Ensure that our conduct, conversation and
tone will only reflect positively on our organization.
Remember that our appearance
is noticed by everyone – make
yours worth noticing in a positive way and recognize the efforts of others for their appearance!
There would be no presenting
or speaking, just print out the
information and drop off at
the volunteer office. If interested, please contact Lyn/Julie
at 2750/2751.

Southwestern Potato Skins
Ingredients
6 large baking potatoes
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
6 slices turkey bacon, cooked until crisp, chopped
1 medium tomato, diced
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dietitian’s tip:
Serve these potato skins, which are a very good source of iron, vitamin B-6 and fiber, with chunky salsa. Two tablespoons of salsa adds
less than 10 calories!
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 F.
Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Scrub potatoes and prick each several times with a fork. Microwave
uncovered on high until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the microwave and place on a wire rack to cool. When
cool to the touch, cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out
the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of the flesh attached to the skin.
(Save potato flesh for another meal.)
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder and hot
sauce. Brush the olive oil mixture on the insides of the potato skins.
Cut each half of the potato skin in half again crosswise. Place the
potatoes onto the baking sheet.

Pet of the Month
Bailey is a dainty 2 ½ year old English Setter. She is enjoying the Ishpeming countryside after
coming to us from Green Bay earlier this year. She has adapted well to her new family, which
includes a ‘sister-dog’, three small children, chickens and lots of room to run.
Her less dainty partner-in-crime, Cinder, is a two-year old Bloodhound/Newfoundland mix
adopted from the Marquette County Humane Society last summer. Weighing in at over 100
pounds, Cinder is a true illustration of a gentle giant who has been known to pounce around
the yard with a chicken egg in her mouth only to return the egg to me, unbroken.
If you’re thinking about adding a new member to your family, I’d like to take this opportunity
to encourage you to take a look at your local animal shelter. They have plenty of animals ready
to give you their love.

Servant Leaders - Why I Serve
I feel that it's important to
know and let others know
what's going on in our
workplace (by way other
than the rumor mill). In
order for us to function
in the most efficient and
successful way, we all need
to be aware of other issues and successes besides
those of our own department. Being part of the
Communication Team is
just as much about listening well as it is spreading
information clearly and
concisely. I serve because I
like to be part of the im-
portant vehicle that keeps
the rest of the Bell Team
in the know and working towards the same goal(s).
-Katie Brady, Marketing

commitment to a
group effort -- that

Note from Bell Foundation’s new
Executive Director
On May 9th, I was given the honor
and privilege of taking a role in
managing the Foundation in collaboration with Kori Tossava. The
Foundation has experienced significant growth over the last several
years and has made demonstrative
impacts on the programs and services that we, as an organization,
offer. Kori and I will be working
with you and for you to support your efforts at providing quality patient care and at making positive impacts
on the community that we serve. We have lots of exciting fundraising opportunities in the works. I would
like to extend my thanks to Dave Aro for his leadership
and support as he transitions from the Foundation to his
new role as COO of Bell Medical.

ACCOUNTABILITY
Phyllis Palmer, Medical Records
We found a discrepancy in an old patient record and our search
brought us to a standstill. We called Medical Records and Phyllis
was so helpful in assisting us in back tracking the record even
though it was in storage from 2006. Thank you, Phyllis, for going
above and beyond and working as a team with us (MGH Medical
Records).
APPEARANCE
Peggy Eppert, Medical Records
Peggy always looks very professional and has a genuine smile on
her face. You can even hear it in her voice when you speak with her
on the phone. Her appearance looks just as good at 4:00 pm as it
does in the morning when she arrives for work.
ATTITUDE
Michele Devold, Dr. Prevost's Office
Michele always greets patients and visitors with a smile. Her
friendly upbeat personality is contagious. She has a willingness to
help out whenever she is needed and makes her job look effortless. She is very neat and organized and completes all tasks in a
timely manner. Michele is an asset to Bell.

Dr. Holly Ray
COMMUNICATION
Dr. Holly Ray, Superior Women's Care
Dr. Ray is a great communicator. She explains things to staff
and patients, welcomes questions, and treats everyone like they
are her only priority. Patients routinely tell staff, “She is great!”
I feel so well taken care of with her.
COURTESY
Debbie Roberge, Bell Medical Clinic
As one of the full-time receptionists at the walk-in clinic,
Debbie Roberge
Debbie helps a lot of patients during her shifts. She is always
friendly and courteous with the patients no matter how difficult their circumstances
are. She tries her best to accommodate the patients. She works well as a team
member (especially with the transitions that are taking place within the walk-in
clinic), she always has a spunky, upbeat attitude, she communicates well with others
and the list goes on. I could have nominated her for any number of the Shining
Stars, however, I think her courtesy out-ranks them all this time.
SERVICE
Tammy Hoffman, Twin Cities Medical Clinic
One week when we went out to the Republic Clinic with Dr. Carlson the computers
weren't working and things had to be done the old fashioned way. Tammy then drove
back to Ishpeming for a mandatory meeting and volunteered to come back to the
main office and enter all the patients into the computer so it was more convenient
for everyone but herself! That is truly a Bell Shining Star!!
Tammy Hoffman
Cathy Lepage
TEAMWORK
Cathy Lepage, Laboratory
Cathy works in several departments in the lab. She works in the main lab and also fills in for microbiology
and histology. She is the only one in the lab that is able to do that. Cathy is always willing to come in on
short notice and even change some of her days off to provide vacation coverage for the department.
This is why I nominate Cathy as " Team Work" Shining Star.
