Patience. Perseverance. Compassion. Support. Experience. All these qualities will be needed in the upcoming year as our country and state deal with massive economic troubles. Health care, like education and social services, will need to

make substantial cuts because of the economic turmoil. Programs that care for the poor and marginalized in our society will receive diminished funding. The safety net for children and the elderly will most likely be diminished. That means our commitment to serve the “dear neighbor” is needed more than ever. For nearly 80 years, St. Joseph Hospital’s ability and willingness to support those most in need has never waivered. The faith demonstrated and put into action by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange continues through good times and bad. Through our Care for the Poor programs, we provide the best quality medical services

to those who would otherwise do without. Our four core values of excellence, service, dignity and justice serve as the milestones we must meet. While most agencies that receive some form of federal or state funding will be tightening their belts, there is no doubt that we will continue to serve those most in need. But we will need your help. Through your generous support, we can do our part to see that a young girl with an ear infection gets early treatment...before her hearing is damaged. We can see that an expectant mother receives appropriate prenatal care to help ensure that her child will be born healthy. We can make sure that a diabetic grandfather continues to monitor his disease and takes appropriate steps to prevent devastating problems. We can do all of this because of you. Your gifts and support make a profound difference in the lives of thousands of people every year. Our donors are among the most caring and generous people I have ever met. While there is no doubt that we will be facing hard times over the coming year, I truly believe that St. Joseph Hospital will continue to serve “the dear neighbor” in the immediate future and for generations to come.

Without hope there is no future. That was not an option for Clara Palacios. She has clung to hope mightily for the last three years – if not for most of her life. One morning in March 2006, Clara awoke to start another day as a healthy, single mother to her 18-year-old son, Jair, and 11-year-old daughter, Yacti. Little did Clara know that day, her life was about to be changed forever. She began to have severe abdominal pain. Having recently lost her job and without insurance, she didn’t know where to turn. Friends recommended she go immediately to the Emergency Department at St. Joseph Hospital. The news wasn’t good. Upon examination, doctors found she was having a gallbladder attack and, through an ultrasound, discovered a mass on her left ovary. She was treated and referred to La Amistad de Jose Family Health Center – St. Joseph Hospital’s community clinic – for follow-up. Clara met with internal medicine specialist, Julia Motherway, M.D., who gave her a full exam. Neither of them expected to find another medical issue: a lump on her left breast. The news was devastating. As the world was seemingly spinning out of control, Clara held on to hope, determined to get through the tough times ahead. After all, she still had two children to raise.

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

~ Persian proverb

Dr. Motherway referred Clara to general surgeon Sami Hamamji, M.D., who consulted with gynecological surgeon Bedros Kojian, M.D., to remove Clara’s gallbladder and ovaries in a single surgery. Clara was then referred to breast surgeon Jay Harness, M.D., oncologist Nabil Phillips, M.D., and radiation oncologist, May Lin Tao M.D., who set up her treatment plan for

beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.”

From the President

Larry K. Ainsworth

Next month St. Joseph Hospital celebrates its 80th Anniversary! During these past years, medical technology has certainly advanced far beyond the wildest dreams of our founding Sisters; however, no amount of time and no challenge too great can ever alter their rich devotion to caring for The Dear Neighbor. Indeed, despite a national flu epidemic in 1918, the stock market crash of 1929 and World War II, our Sisters’ “faith, foresight and flexibility” provided the foundation for a future we celebrate today.

This same foundation provides the strength and direction we need to overcome the challenges we face in light of today’s ailing economy. “Faith, foresight and flexibility” invite us to be innovative and creative in carrying out our healing mission. As a result, our

commitment to providing The Dear Neighbor with compassionate, clinically superior care never waivers.

Recently, several St. Joseph Hospital programs received national recognition for clinical excellence. Despite our challenges, these accomplishments underscore our ongoing commitment to achieving Perfect Care, Sacred Encounters and Healthiest Communities:

•In2007,2008andagainin2009,St.JosephHospitalhasbeenrecognizedasoneof“America’sBestHospitals” for Orthopedic Care by U. S.News & World Report. No other hospital in Orange County has achieved this outstanding national distinction.•InJuly2009,St.JosephHospital’sStrokeCenterreceiveda“CertificateofDistinctionforPrimary

Stroke Centers” from The Joint Commission, the nation’s leading accrediting body for safety and quality in healthcare organizations. The Stroke Center met scrupulous criteria for managing stroke care, and possesses the critical elements needed to achieve long-term success in improving stroke outcomes.•InJune2009,St.JosephHospital’sChestPainCenterreceivedaccreditationfromtheSocietyofChest

Pain Centers by exceeding nationally recognized standards for rapidly treating patients for chest pain. •InJune2009,St.JosephHospitalbecameOrangeCounty’sfirst“BabyFriendly”birthfacilityby

promoting breastfeeding and bonding practices. This quality award is presented by Baby Friendly USA, a global program sponsored by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).•InJune2009,theAmericanSocietyforMetabolicandBariatricSurgerynamedSt.JosephHospital

a Bariatric Center of Excellence. This designation is based on the program’s surgical processes and excellent outcomes.

As we celebrate our 80th Anniversary these accomplishments remind us that “faith, foresight and flexibility” are essential qualities for sustaining our ministry and providing quality care to the community we were all called to serve.

chemotherapy and radiation. During this frightening process, Dr. Harness invited Clara to attend the Circles of Life Fashion Show, an annual fundraiser for The Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment at St. Joseph Hospital, which features cancer survivors and current and past cancer patients as the models. There he whispered to her that one day she, too, would become a cancer survivor model in the show. This gave Clara another glimmer of hope. During chemotherapy Clara began to build friend-ships with other cancer patients and found great comfort in sharing her faith and giving them hope. She enrolled in English and computer classes to take her mind off her illness. Every Friday she would have chemotherapy, recuperate over the weekend, and go back to school on Monday. Three years later Clara is healthy, in remission, cherishing every day of her life and loving her children. She defines her experience at the clinic as “marvelous” because the staff was always optimistic, supported her faith, and gave her confidence and hope. She thanks God for St. Joseph Hospital and the doctors for saving her life. Clara’s hopefulness had many rewards, one of which was her debut as a model at this year’s Circles of Life Fashion Show on June 28 – and a beautiful model at that.

St. Joseph Hospital continues to serve the many health needs of our community with services such as the comprehensive renal disease program, designed to assist all stages of chronic kidney disease, from pediatric dialysis through kidney transplant.

Kidney transplants have been performed at St. Joseph Hospital since 1973.OurhighlysuccessfulKidneyTransplantCenterhascompletedan average of 35 transplants each year for the past two decades. Under the leadership of Ervin Ruzics, M.D., the St. Joseph Hospital Kidney Transplant Program has maintained a 100% one-year graft and patient survival rate for the last 5 reporting periods as reported by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. St. Joseph Hospital’s Kidney Transplant Program is the only program in the United States to

achieve this rating five years in a row – a wonderful example of Perfect Care.

Building and sustaining a tradition of perfect care, innovation, and a healthier community is not something that happens quickly but one which is nurtured over time. These traditions have not been created by the hospital alone. They are sustained through the hospital’s strong relationship with the community we serve and the community on which we depend for support through both good and challenging times.

On May 14, St. Joseph Hospital hosted the 11th Annual President’s Reception at the Turnip Rose in Costa Mesa. More than 100 friends and supporters of the hospital attended the event which featured a presentation by Ervin Ruzics, M.D., Medical Director of the Kidney Transplant Center at St. Joseph Hospital. Dr. Ruzics talked about the kidney transplant program and our outstanding survival rate. Guests also heard from Tom Bender, a past renal services patient, who spoke of his kidney transplant experience at St. Joseph Hospital, for which he had high remarks. Sister Susan Trezek presented the invocation and Larry Ainsworth, President and Chief Executive Officer of St. Joseph Hospital, thanked guests for their continued support and spoke about the importance of “Sacred Encounters” – emphasizing that these encounters are what set us apart from other hospitals by focusing on providing patients with a sense of human dignity, community and success, through compassionate care. Presidential Partners is a society of friends who provide exceptional leadership in support of St. Joseph Hospital through their annual contributions of $1,000 or more.

BOARD PROFILES

12summer 2009

Julia Motherway, M.D., is keeping up a family tradition. Her father, William Collins, M.D., a gastroenterologist, has served on staff at the hospital for decades. “St. Joseph Hospital has always been a part of my life between my dad’s involvement and the care family members have received over the years,” said Motherway, an internist who frequently provides service to La Amistad de Jose Family Health Center. Motherway first became involved with the hospital working as a ‘gofer’ in the Emergency Department in college. “That opportunity and now as a physician myself, helped me recognize the important role that St. Joseph Hospital plays in the community.” “The biggest challenges I foresee are not particular to the hospital,” says Motherway. “Fundraising is difficult due to the economy. However, this is the most important time to show our staying power and to advance the Sisters’ mission to serve the ‘dear neighbor.’ As a physician currently working at La Amistad, I can tell you, the need is great and we are here to help.”

Terry Gilmore and his wife, Mary Ann, have been active in the community, particularly with Catholic ministries. Naturally, their support extended to St. Joseph Hospital when their children were born there. Terry retired after 35 years as Vice President and Managing Director of Orange County Operations for Prudential Financial. As a Foundation Board Member and previous Hospital Leadership Council member, he sees his role as an advocate for the hospital, encouraging others to lend their support to ensure that the hospital continues to meet the needs of the community. “St. Joseph Hospital has always maintained a high quality of service, which requires an unprecedented level of support.” Gilmore is active in the Order of Malta, a Catholic service group whose goal is to serve the sick and the poor. “I see my support of St. Joseph Hospital as serving that very same goal.”

Janice Ramsay-Gonzales became involved with St. Joseph Hospital when her employer, PDC Facilities, Inc., began construction at the hospital. “Working on St. Joseph Hospital’s campus every day allowed me to see how important the hospital is to this community,” she said. “As Construction Administrator, I felt that our work on behalf of the hospital helped make a difference and I wanted to continue to support the hospital.” She started working with Todos on events such as the Croquet Tournament, Seasonal Soiree, theGolfTournamentandthehospital’sAnnualBenefitwhichsheco-chairedin2006and2007.During her tenure, the Auction increased its fundraising by $80,000. “I initially joined Todos because it seemed like a great group of people who might not be able to make large, individual donations,” she said. “However, together, Todos can make million dollar pledges.” As the economy slows, Ramsay-Gonzales realizes that philanthropic support will be needed more than ever. “It is vital to keep the mission of St. Joseph Hospital at the forefront of everything we do.” The Foundation would like to welcome these new leaders to the board and looks forward to the honor of working with each of them.

RETIRING BOARD MEMBER PROFILE


George and Chloe Barr For more than two decades, George and Chloe Barr of Laguna Beach have been active supporters of St. Joseph Hospital. Now, as they prepare for a well-deserved retirement from their voluntary service, their contributions will serve as a legacy to others. Through their personal philanthropy, active involvement on the Foundation Board of Directors, and service on innumerable Foundation committees, they have demonstrated, by example, what it means to care for the “dear neighbor.” As grateful patients, The Barrs are major contributors to the hospital, helping to underwrite the Annual Benefit (now called, Celebration!) and the Circles of Life Fashion Show. Chloe, a cancer survivor, even participated as a fashion show model to demonstrate to others that there is, indeed, life after a diagnosis of cancer. Their consistent support and enthusiasm for the hospital soon led to their nomination to the Foundation Board of Directors. “In my mind, George and Chloe personify what it means to be a philanthropic supporter of the hospital’s mission,” said Chris Layton, Chair of the Foundation Board of Directors. “From their support of the development of the hospital Master Plan through completion of The Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment, they have been with us every step of the way.” As former president of Barr Lumber and the O.L. Halsell Foundation, George’s unique business and financial perspective was of great value to the Board. As Board members since 2003, George and Chloe were instrumental in helping to raise philanthropic support for the new Patient Care Center. In addition to their personal gifts to the campaign, they were tireless in their dedication to the project, bringing in support from their many friends and colleagues. Each a cancer survivor, they were equally passionate about helping to muster philanthropic support for the building of The Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment. In addition to the campaign, Chloe volunteered to participate in the patient interview process that led to the hospital’s achievement of Magnet Status for Nursing Excellence. “I think one of the highlights for us was when the hospital received magnet nursing status,” said Chloe. “Patient care is such an integral part of what makes St. Joseph such an outstanding hospital. And nursing is so important. Another highlight was the opening of the Patient Care Center—that was unbelievable. And, of course, the Cancer Center is exceptional.” Chloe remembers what it was like when she was being treated for cancer. “I’m not a Catholic but I remember how kind Sister Frances Dunn was and how she would check up on me. I saw, first-hand, just how exceptional the service was and how the influence of the Sisters permeates the entire hospital. There are other fine hospitals in the area but I don’t think any of them come close to the compassion exhibited by those who work at St. Joseph.” In 2008, to honor their many years of exemplary service, George and Chloe were recognized by the Foundation as Outstanding Volunteers during National Philanthropy Day.

Light Up A Life 2009The Light Up A Life Tree Lighting Ceremony will be held on Sunday, December 6, 2009 at the St. Joseph Hospital Park located between the parking structure and hospital. This event highlights the compassionate care and support for St. Joseph Hospital Hospice programs.

More than 250 guests and friends of the hospital are expected to attend the event which will feature holiday music, light refreshments and the annual tree lighting. Speakers will reflect on the vital role that hospice programs play in helping families and patients during difficult times.
