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, whereeach 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. Emergencycaregivers flex with the dramatic shifts in caring for patients with severe trauma to minor injury, heartattack 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 daythey must be prepared for anything, from natural disaster or public health emergency to unex-pected 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 teamcommitted to across-the-board excellence.

Letter to the Community

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 afraction of the activities that go into the daily work of providing care. The provision of quality healthservices 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’sbest 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 serv-ices and running the business end, it takes a talented team with a wide range of skills to deliverthe care you need and expect.

How does such a large team with such varied skills and schedules stay motivated to constantly givetheir very best? By having compassion for patients and families, pride in their work and a beliefthat 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 expectationsof 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 GwinnettHealth System.

Sincerely,

Franklin M. Rinker Wayne SikesPresident and CEO Chairman, Gwinnett Hospital System Board of DirectorsGwinnett Health System and Gwinnett Health System Board of Directors

A mom brings her young daughter to theGwinnett Physicians Group practice in Suwanee.Earlier this morning, she noticed that her daughterwas unusually fretful and pulling on her ear. Shecalled for an appointment to have her familyphysician check for a possible ear infection.

With five locations around the county, theGwinnett Physicians Group is one of only 374 physician groups nationally recognized as a Better Performer by the Medical GroupManagement Association. The physician officeshandle well over 64,000 patient visits a year, or an average of about 175 a day.


A man has kidney cancer, but he hasn’t respond-ed well to traditional chemotherapy or radiother-apy. Even worse, he’s not a good candidate forsurgery. But he’s not out of options. A targetedcancer treatment using radiofrequency ablation,an interventional radiology procedure, can treathis cancer without the more invasive techniquesof traditional surgery. Using imaging technology,the interventional radiologist can deliver alternat-ing electrical currents to the diseased tissue,killing the cancer.

Interventional radiology has greatly improvedphysicians’ ability to “see” inside the body usinghighly precise imaging technology. Guidedimagery procedures are less invasive and lessexpensive than many traditional surgeries.

Her appointment time was 3:20, and here sheis, already in an exam room getting her footX-rayed at the new 575 Outpatient ImagingCenter near Gwinnett Medical Center. A 50-year-old long distance runner, she was concerned by the ache in her left foot – afraidit might be a stress fracture. Thanks to thestate-of-the-art technology of the two newAXIOM Aristos FX systems at the center, theamazingly clear images make it clear that herfoot ache is a deep bruise, not a stress frac-ture.

The 575 Outpatient Imaging Center specializesin ease of access and effective diagnosis andtreatment. The Center, which opened in May2003, handles approximately 125 patient visitsa day.

Each day brings new and often

unexpected challenges.

Quickly he realizes he hascome to the right place. He leaves with someexcellent advice, some helpful referrals and some unexpected hope and encouragement.

The ten Parish Nurses average 90 daily contacts with parishionersthrough education, referrals, screenings, personal counseling and hospital or home visits. That’s an average of 33,000 contacts a year.

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 furtherdamage to her heart. She is stabilized and admitted to the Cardiac Care Unit, where staffmembers constantly monitor her condition as she receives intensive care. Because the medica-tion was administered early, the woman has amuch better chance to recover fully.

In 2002, the Emergency Departments at bothGwinnett Medical Center and Joan GlancyMemorial Hospital exceeded the National Registryof Myocardial Infarction benchmark for timelyadministration of drugs when patients come inwith symptoms of a heart attack.

After kicking off the TIME MATTERS in the fight againstBreast Cancer campaign at the 2001 Ball, the Foundationreached 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 earlierthan anticipated.

Marion Allison Webb Center for Screening MammographyFour new mammography machines were added at this screen-ing center, reducing the wait for a routine mammogram from70 days to just a few days. The number of patient visits permonth increased from 650 to 1,600.

Women’s Diagnostic Center at Gwinnett Women’s PavilionThe renovated and expanded center for diagnostic mammog-raphy was completed in June 2003. It includes such supportservices as the Breast Health Education and Resource Centerand the Women’s Pavilion Boutique, which offers supportproducts for breast cancer patients.

Care-a-Van Mobile Mammography UnitThe 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. Aftermany miles and mammograms, it needs to be replaced.

Computer-Aided DetectionComputer-aided detection (CAD) has made its breakthroughas cutting edge technology in mammography. CAD is a software program that actually “reads” the mammogram andpoints out areas that are hard to find or may be overlooked bythe human eye. If CAD detects any breast abnormalities onthe mammogram film, it marks them. The radiologist can then review the mammogram film to determine whether themarked areas are suspicious and require further examination.

The Foundation plans for the continuation of the TIME MATTERS campaign to pursue upgrading and expandingmammography services.
