The Lives We TouchThrough Faith & Charity

LITTLE COMPANY OF MARY HOSPITAL AND HEALTH CARE CENTERS

here is perhaps no clearer, more direct way to “love thy neighbor”than to help someone who is weakened by illness.

Our donors and volunteers represent diverse cultures, age groups, abilities and life experiences, but they all represent the best of our community.

Many individuals volunteer their time because they feel stronglyabout doing something for those in need. Our senior volunteersshare their own rich life experiences while our youth volunteersdonate their energy and enthusiasm as they look ahead to futuresfilled with promise.We even have animal volunteers, pets that comewith their owners to share their unbridled passion for a scratchbehind the ears and a pat on the head.

Our “walkers for breast cancer” are people who take matters into their own hands. Instead of just saying,“Isn’t that terrible,people are dying of breast cancer”, they call on friends and neighbors for sponsorships, get out their walking shoes and joinhundreds of others to make a statement and make a difference onthat special day.

Our financial donors—including many of our own employees—arepeople who have themselves been rewarded by life. But in return,they choose to share those rewards with others through their giftsof life-saving equipment, facilities and funds.

Whether they give their time, their treasure or their love, our volunteers and donors are working to enhance the quality of care atLittle Company of Mary and the quality of life in our community.

Comprehensive Breast Health CenterA HOLISTIC ATTITUDE

“Most of the time, I have the privilege of giving my patients a very positive scenario. Today, breast cancer is a

highly curable disease, and in the big picture, their lives should not be affected by it.”—Dr. Olga Ivanov

Dr. Olga Ivanov pictured left with Breast Cancer Survivor, Mary O’Connell

Dr. Olga Ivanov is an internationally respected breast surgeon. She holds the distinction

of being the only fellowship-trained female breast surgeon in the southwest Chicago area.

Her patient responsibilities at Little Company of Mary would easily fill anyone’s calendar,

yet the doctor still manages to schedule working trips to her native Ukraine, where she

teaches surgeons the minimally invasive techniques used in the U.S.

Despite all these accomplishments and commitments, Dr. Ivanov insists she chose the

easy path.“Most of the time, I have the privilege of giving my patients a very positive

scenario.Today, breast cancer is a highly curable disease, and in the big picture, their lives

should not be affected by it.This isn’t true for most cancers. So, I usually get to be the

bearer of good news and delivering good news is easy!”

As a breast surgeon and a woman, Dr. Ivanov also finds it easy to empathize with her

patients’ needs and fears. She understands that the breast is intimately tied to a woman’s

sense of femininity.Although her first goal in surgery is to remove the cancer, she also

strives for maximum breast conservation, with tiny, aesthetically pleasing scars and breast

symmetry.As Dr. Ivanov explains,“Many years after I treat a patient—when she can say

she’s a breast cancer survivor—I want her to look in the mirror without seeing any

physical scars. I don’t want my patient to see anything that makes her look back—

only forward.”

Dr. Ivanov’s patients see her as a skilled, respected breast surgeon, and often it isn’t until

years later that they recognize her other great talent, which is her gentle way of nudging

patients toward a positive outlook.Although the doctor admits that attitude is something

intangible, immeasurable, and not yet quantified by scientists, she truly believes in its

power. “The trick in beating cancer of any sort is attitude! If a patient understands what

I’m saying—that it will be okay and we can take care of this problem together—

most of the time the patient does pretty darn good. If, however, a patient gives up at the

beginning, it’s going to be a great challenge to beat that cancer.”

To instill in every patient a positive mindset, Dr. Ivanov spends hours coaching and

educating and encouraging her patients.“Once we achieve a positive outlook, my

expertise, the drugs, the surgical techniques, the therapies, they all have a clear path

to do their jobs.”

In the final analysis, it’s a pretty safe bet that breast cancer patients do not agree with

Dr. Ivanov’s assessment that her job is easy. Eventually though, patients come around.

After making their journey through surgery with Dr. Ivanov, and after the doctor’s

administered her encouraging prescription for a positive mindset, things do get easier—

especially as they cross over from breast cancer patient to breast cancer survivor!

Dr. Ivanov

THE LIVES WE TOUCH THROUGH FAITH & CHARITY 4

Tears and laughter, joy and sorrow …

it’s a celebration of life and a day of

remembrance! Each year the Annual

Beverly Breast Cancer Walk attracts

more women, men, families, and friends

to come out on Mother’s Day to raise

funds for the Integrated Therapy

Department (ITD) at Little Company

of Mary’s Cancer Center. The walk

supports ITD’s mission is to provide

free educational programs, support

groups and services to the community’s

cancer patients and survivors.

What started with only 30 people seven

years ago has grown into an event that

draws the entire community together,

creates vital awareness, and involves over

5,000 walkers who raised more than

$150,000 this year.

Through their tireless efforts the

walk leadership team, Carol Moriarty,

Lisa O’Brien, Nancy Mulcahy,

Margie Sweeney, Maureen Mulryan and

Colleen Carol have influenced thousands

of others to follow their lead including

the event’s generous sponsor,

Beverly Bank and Trust.

Why would a cancer patient be goingto a hospital for a massage,a facial and a pedicure?

It’s the brainchild of Vicky Weis a former spa owner who

lost her own mother, Faye, to cancer in 1995.Vicky realized

while caring for her, that the healing touch was an important

part of her mother’s care that wasn’t available in most

hospital settings.

Through pampering spa and holistic treatments that may

include massage, pedicures, Reiki, facials, aromatherapy and

others—cancer patients can feel reinvigorated, cared for, and

loved during the challenge of living with

illness and chemotherapy.

Faye’s Light is a service offered four days a

month as an adjunct to the Integrative

Therapy Department. It is free to anyone in

the community who is dealing with cancer

and entirely funded by donations.

According to Vicky,“When this started, I was

simply donating my own time because I

wanted to give something back. But as I

realized how great the need was, I began

organizing volunteers and raising money.”

Faye’s Light benefits the patient in mind, body,

and spirit and creates a wonderful sense of

community. As patients wait for their next spa service, they

share their journeys, allowing therapists and fellow patients the

opportunity to better understand what they are going

through. It allows patients to escape from the fear and anxiety

of their disease—if only for an hour or two every week.

CUDDLERSA Touching Experience for All

The Cuddling Program, now in its 21st year at Little Company of Mary, is part of the

Marist High School Senior Service Program, with the senior year religion class.

Clinically speaking, the human skin includes more than four million sensory receptors that

receive information related to touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.This information

moves to the brain for processing and reaction. On an emotional and far more enjoyable

level, we humans love to touch and be touched by other humans. Even the simplest hug can

produce a profoundly nurturing contentment.The Marist High School Cuddling Volunteers,

who visit the Little Company of Mary nursery daily to hold and pamper newborns, know all

about the power of touch.

The Cuddling Program, now in its 21st year at Little Company of Mary, is part of the

Marist High School Senior Service Program, with the senior year religion class. Each day,

students in the Senior Service Program drive to the Hospital, sign in, and head off to

their assigned area, with student assignments rotating each quarter. Student arrival and

departure times are staggered, Monday through Friday, 8AM to 2PM.

“The Cuddling Program is enormously valuable for everyone involved,” says Carol

Martinez, Little Company of Mary Hospital Manager of Volunteer Resources.“The

students are an enormous help to the nursery nursing staff. As for the babies, it’s

impossible to touch and soothe them too much.They are used to being enveloped in

warmth while inside the womb, so cuddling these infants is a comforting and familiar

feeling for them. From the students’ perspective, this is a wonderful way to see first hand

how life begins, and how a simple touch brings such comfort.”

The Cuddling Program, Martinez adds, is an annual favorite.“At the end of the school

year, we ask for student feedback. And every year we get the same response—the

Cuddle Program and the Adult Day Center Program are the two favorites.These areas

seem to really fulfill the students’ need to give and share.”

There’s no denying that the student cuddlers give invaluable comfort to the Hospital’s

youngest patients, but a quick description of the students’ responsibilities explains why

this is an annual favorite—and an enviable job to have.“The students come into the

nursery scrubbed and wearing appropriate sterile garments, then they sit comfortably in

a rocking chair,” Martinez explains.“A nurse hands each student an infant and they quietly

rock the baby. You can see them relax and let go of school pressures.They sit and rock

and give all they have to this little baby.”

So, while cuddling may not be a scientific word found in scholarly medical journals, the

results for cuddler and “cuddlee” are undeniably real. Those four million sensory

receptors in baby and student are busy sending calm, tranquil messages to respective

brains—and life is wonderful.

The Lives We TouchThrough SERVICE


uring fiscal year 2006, Little Company of Mary Hospital and Health Care

Centers (Little Company of Mary) continued the tradition of community

service begun by our founders and sponsors, the Sisters of the Little Company

of Mary. The Sisters believe that men and women are created with human

needs, which include the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of health.

Little Company of Mary continually strives to be an extension of Christ’s

mission of loving mercy by ministering to those multifaceted health needs.

Over the past year, Little Company of Mary continued to provide health care

access to the community by offering programs for health improvement to

populations at risk, exercising appropriate stewardship over its resources and

supporting community organizations sharing similar goals. Highlights of the

2006 community benefit endeavors include:

• Providing more than $12.9MM of uncompensated care to those covered

by government-sponsored indigent health care.

• Providing nearly $2.5MM of charity care to patients who were unable

to pay all or a portion of their hospital bills.

• Providing pre-natal and obstetrical care to government-sponsored

indigent healthcare recipients in our Obstetrics Clinic.

• Providing primary and specialty care to older adults in our

Washington Heights medical facility, called the Halsted Medical Center.

• Providing health education and promotion to the participants in

our community health programs by reaching 48,394 participants to

our FY 2006 programs.

• Providing a myriad of additional community benefits through programs

such as Meals On Wheels, Cancer Education and Wellness, Physician

Match (physician referral service) and Mission Driven Services.

Building a HealthierCommunity—One Day at a Time

Joan Murphy’s first career at Little

Company of Mary was in critical care

nursing, until one day a light bulb

went on. Many of the patients she saw

coming in and out of ICU might have

prevented their medical crisis had

they made a few lifestyle changes.This

realization grew into a passion, and

eventually the hospital asked Joan to

move in the direction of wellness.

Today Joan remains passionate about

wellness, now serving as Little Company

of Mary’s Director of Community Health.

She works out of the Hospital’s two

Health Education Centers, one within the

Hospital itself and one in the Westfield

Chicago Ridge Mall. At both Centers,

Chicago’s Southwest community members

find educational classes and screening

programs dedicated to preventing disease

through healthy living.

Guiding patients toward healthy physical,

emotional, and spiritual habits is

important to Joan, and making these

habits obtainable is top priority.“When I

hear someone say ‘I can do that!’ I know

this person is headed for a healthier life.

And I know it’s been a good day.”

Joan MurphyDirector ofCommunityHealth

Knowledge is PowerThe Little Company of Mary Diabetes Center is all about education, providing outpatients in the community with valuableinsight into treatments, nutrition, fitness, medications, and glucose monitoring.There’s also ample opportunity for familymembers to receive the support they need. It all comes downto helping diabetics manage this remarkably manageable disease.

One of the Center’s powerful educational tools is their annualDiabetes Fest, directed by Debbie Murray, R.N. Coordinatorof the Diabetes Center. While managing the Fest is in her jobdescription, Murray is also passionately connected to the event.“My mother died at 50 from complications connected to diabetes and thankfully, stories like hers don’t have to happenany more.That’s how far we’ve come! When you combinetoday’s medications with proper nutrition and a good exerciseplan, you can postpone or minimize the disease’s effects.But for this to happen, we have to get the word out. Patientsplay a big part in this disease.When they make informed decisions, diabetes is absolutely manageable.”

And the Diabetes Center does get the word out—especiallyduring the Fest. Held in November, during National DiabetesMonth, entrance is free and fest participants include pertinentLittle Company of Mary Hospital departments as well as outside

vendors, such as insulin makers, glucose meter companies, insulin pump manufacturers,insurance companies, health equipment companies, and even Wal-Mart, a major prescription resource. Outside vendors pay a fee to participate, and the money helps support Center patients without the financial means to cover individualized education.

Is it worth all the effort to pull this annual event together? Murray responds with aresounding absolutely! “When people understand how diabetes affects the body and whatlifestyle changes they should make, the positive results are huge! Knowing how to controlthe disease empowers the patient. It puts the patient in charge instead of the disease.Also, an informed patient learns that this is not the debilitating disease our parents suffered through. Once fear is removed, the door swings open for intelligent action.”

In the United States alone, it is estimated that there are 14 million diagnosed people living with diabetes and 6 million people are undiagnosed. Can the Little Company ofMary Diabetes Center educate all 20 million people? If Murray gets her way, they will!“Education is vital! I participate in as many health fairs as possible—because that’s howyou reach people. Here at the hospital, we’re determined to reach as many people as we can!”

daVINCIThe Picture of HealthLittle Company of Mary acquired thedaVinci® Surgical System in 2005 and aftersuccessfully performing 58 procedures in2006, Hospital staff and patients agree:reality far exceeds expectation.

The system, which unites state-of-the-artrobotic technology with groundbreakingcomputer innovation, allows surgeons toperform complex procedures throughdime-size incisions. Used exclusively in2006 for prostate cancer treatment and inparticular for prostate removal, LittleCompany of Mary expanded daVinci procedures to include gynecological myomectomies, or removal of uterinefibroids, as well as some hysterectomyapplications.

“The daVinci surgicalrobot has revolutionized not only prostatic surgery, but surgicaltechnique ingeneral…Having performed thousands of surgical proceduresover the last fifteenyears, I can confidently

say that I have never seen the anatomy moreclearly than I do when I perform a daVinciprostatectomy. This translates into quicker recovery times, and drastically reduced incontinence and impotence rates. The fact thatLittle Company of Mary has embraced this technology now has allowed me to offer state-of-the-art surgical care right here in the community.”

The Little Company of Mary Endoscopy Center officially opened

its doors in summer 2006, following three years of planning,

research, and construction.The result is a state-of-the-art facility

that sets the precedent in cutting edge diagnostic tools and

treatments for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux

disease, colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, motility problems, as well as routine

colonoscopies.What’s amazing, however, is how the Center manages to maintain a

comfortable, soothing, high-touch environment amidst all this high-tech.

Perhaps this most welcome outcome occurs because the Center stands for real people

as much as it does progressive medical treatment. Center physicians and nurses helped

design the facility. After all, they have the double advantage of understanding innovative

technology as well as how patients feel about endoscopic procedures.

A significant portion of the funding for the new Center came from Little Company

of Mary’s Employee Giving Campaign.Through this program, Hospital employees make

donations to raise funds for valuable medical services. Hospital employees stepped up in

a big way, pledging more than $100,000 for the Center. On an even grander scale, these

generous employees ultimately improved the southwest Chicago community’s access to

innovative procedures.

“Much of the Center is designed to help patients relax,” says Jane Sullivan, RN,Vice

President of Little Company of Mary’s Patient Care Services. Among the many

convenient details is the Center’s location—close to it’s own designated parking area.

This means no more navigating hospital corridors to find the Endoscopy Lab. Increasing

the number of patient procedure rooms from three to six is another significant update

that translates to faster service so that our patients are on their way in a reasonable

time period.

The Endoscopy Center provides plenty of unexpected amenities, such as wireless

Internet access for laptops.As Sullivan explains, the reception area’s little extras are for

patients as well as family members.“Our patients need a ride home after their procedure,

so someone comes with them and we really want to make their experience a pleasant

one as well.”

Although we believe we have the best current medical and technological advances

possible, research into improvements is already underway.“It’s hard to believe, but just

thirty years ago many of the painless outpatient procedures we perform today required

an operation and an extended hospital stay.” Sullivan explains.“We continuously review

the Center’s status, always watching for improvements in technology and equipment.

It’s a very exciting time to be in health care.”

The Lives We TouchThrough healing


hen someone’s health is challenged by disease or other circumstances, the

patient wants to know that smart, highly trained individuals are prepared

to help them using state-of-the-art equipment, medicines and technology.

However, it is vital to the healing process that everything possible is done

to protect the patient’s physical and emotional comfort as well.

At Little Company of Mary, healing is our mission. However, healing is

incomplete unless the patient is feeling well!

Concern for every aspect of a patient’s well-being has been one of our

hallmarks for more than 77 years. In our practice of medicine, we understand

that healing is not just about fixing what is wrong with the body, it involves the

experience of the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. In line with this

understanding is our theme and goal for the future—In Pursuit of Pain-Free

Health Care.

While most medical procedures are accompanied by a certain level

of discomfort, new technologies, treatments, and ways of caring for individuals

are helping to minimize pain.What’s more, by simplifying treatments, providing

for more outpatient procedures, increasing access to our facilities, streamlining

billing procedures, and increasing the home-like comforts of all our facilities,

we make access to care easier, more comfortable and more convenient.

Palliative care is an interdisciplinary program that aims to prevent

and relieve suffering as well as to improve the quality of life for

patients with chronic disease and/or life-threatening illness.

The Palliative Care Service at Little Company of Mary Hospital,

one of the first few in the area, has been operational since June

2006 and has already served more than 50 patients and their

families. Palliative care combines a variety of resources and

personnel, including new Medical Director of Palliative Care,

Dr. Kimberly Battle-Miller, Lisa Pendergast, R.N., a nursing

specialist, two dedicated social workers Maureen Murphy and

Nancy Doherty, and a chaplain, Jo Ellen Skrip. Together they form

a coordinated team that functions to serve patients and their

families within a six-bed unit in the 3 North Pavillion and

throughout the hospital as requested by the family or the

Primary Care Physician.

According to Dr. Kimberly Battle-Miller, “Patients with chronic

illnesses who utilize the Palliative Care Service develop a

relationship with the staff that makes them feel more

comfortable during trying circumstances.Their families get to

know and trust our team, making it easier to talk about treat-

ment options and plan for appropriate discharge.”

The rooms are decorated to provide a home-like setting with

music, artwork, a library, a kitchenette and sleeper sofas to help

make family members, who may stay extended hours, as

comfortable as possible.

While Dr. Miller and Nurse Pendergast provide pain

management, medical care, and explain treatment options,

the social workers and chaplain work closely with patients

and their families to provide spiritual and emotional comfort

and guidance. They support the medical team with resources

to help individuals understand and communicate long-term

health care wishes.

“Our team supports the primary

physician’s plan of care by making the

patient as comfortable as possible at all

stages of illness. In addition, we spend a

lot of time helping patients and their

families make very difficult and

complex decisions about what level

of care the patients want and need.”

THE POWEROF PALLIATIVE CARE

ANGIOPLASTYGetting to the heart of the matter

A relationship of trust is established. As a cardiologist, Dr. Rowan refers to this as

continuity of care. The patient simply calls it a blessing.

When Little Company of Mary Hospital cardiologist Daniel A. Rowan, D.O., Medical

Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab, establishes that a patient has blocked or

narrowed arteries, he typically recommends angioplasty, a medical procedure to open the

arteries and promote heart health. After a battery of preliminary diagnostic tests followed

by one-on-one consultations with the doctor, the patient enters surgery feeling safe in

Dr. Rowan’s care. A relationship of trust is established. As a cardiologist, Dr. Rowan refers

to this as continuity of care.The patient simply calls it a blessing.

Although this scenario makes perfect sense, it wasn’t always so. Seven years ago

Dr. Rowan could diagnose a patient’s need for angioplasty but could not perform the

procedure. Only hospitals with onsite, specialized heart surgery capabilities could perform

angioplasties, which precluded most community hospitals.This meant that Dr. Rowan’s

patients were transferred to another hospital, facing unfamiliar hospital personnel as well as

repeat testing.

Today, Dr. Rowan performs angioplasties because he jumped on the chance to involve and

lead Little Company of Mary in an extraordinary program initiated by Johns Hopkins

University and conducted by Hopkins’ Cardiovascular Patient Outcomes Research Team,

or C-PORT. The program, started in 2000, eventually established that smaller community

hospitals without onsite heart surgery capabilities can effectively perform emergency

angioplasties. In April 2006, C-PORT expanded the study to include elective angioplasty.

Dr. Rowan and his team successfully performed the study’s first elective angioplasty.

That patient was 70-year old Father William Kenneally, Pastor of St. Gertrude’s Parish in

Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood.“Father Kenneally’s condition had progressed to a 70

percent blockage,” Dr. Rowan recalls.“While it had not yet reached an emergency level, it

was still a major concern.”

“Dr. Rowan advised me that this procedure was a good option,” says Father Kenneally.

“And being part of a major project like this appealed to me.”

Because of C-PORT, Dr. Rowan and Father Kenneally ended as they began—together.

Doctor and patient moved from diagnosis, through surgery, and on to Father Kenneally’s

recovery.

Dr. Rowan also feels that discontinuing the transfer policy will bring decreased patient

expenses.“Whenever anyone is transferred, there are costs—an ambulance, new doctors,

and duplicate testing to get these new doctors onboard.Whether this means an additional

co-payment or out-of-pocket expenses for uncovered costs, it’s money owed.Without

having to transfer patients, there will be a savings.”


“It’s an honor to participate in C-PORT...

I owe a lot to Ann Miller R.N., the study

nurse coordinator, our cardiac cath lab

staff and most importantly, our patients.

Breaking new ground isn’t always easy,

but we did it. And we did it successfully.”

Bariatric surgery is only one part of a life-changing experience at the Bariatric Surgery Center

that includes nutrition, fitness and mental health support programs.

There are few more visual examples of the Lives We Touch than the “before and after”

pictures of our Bariatric Surgery Center patients. Each year in March we celebrate these

transformations at the Living Well Celebration, an event that honors all Little Company

of Mary weight loss patients and their success stories.

Just imagine how our patients’ lives change as they lose an average of 70 to 80 percent

of their excess weight within the first 18 months after surgery.

Since opening in November 2001, when the Little Company of Mary team performed the

first gastric bypass operation in Chicago’s Southwest suburbs, the Center has performed

more than 600 gastric bypass operations. Since that time patients have come to us from

throughout Illinois and Indiana and from as far away as Florida and Arizona.

“There are two things patients want to know,” says Little Company of Mary’s Midwest

Bariatric Institute Medical Director Gerald Cahill, M.D.,“does it work and is it safe?”

While the Center’s weight loss success rate has been impressive, the most important

statistic is its outstanding safety record.

In 2006, the Little Company of Mary program was named a Center of Excellence by the

American Society of Bariatric Surgery (ASBS). To earn this designation, our program

underwent a series of site inspections during which all aspects of the program’s surgical

processes were closely evaluated including data on patient health outcomes. Only programs

that provide top-quality care to ensure the efficacy of the procedure to the best of their

ability for each patient meet ASBS standards.

The bariatric team demonstrates excellence every day by offering one of the most

comprehensive pre-surgical education programs as well as a successful post-operative

support system that includes nutrition counseling under the direction of Dr. Cahill and

Little Company of Mary Program Director,Tony Romeo, R.N.

According to Mr. Romeo,“People who undergo the surgery within a month of each other

tend to have a lot in common because they are going through similar experiences. It really

helps when they can get together and share their thoughts and feelings.”

Bariatric surgery is only one part of a life-changing experience at the Bariatric Surgery

In addition to the surgery, we teach our

patients how to eat to maintain their

weight loss, and we provide social

support groups.”
