Letter From the Executive Director

Dear Friends,

Professor and Durham Symphony cellist Timothy Holley, DMA, pictured on the cover of this year’s annual report, has a passion for his work, dedication to doing his best, and a desire to give back to the community. This also describes the staff and volunteers of Duke HomeCare & Hospice who show dedication and service in their work with us and in their support of our community. In this year’s annual report, we recognize the dedication and service provided by our patients, our volunteers and our staff.

We begin this year’s report with a profile of 106-year-old Samie Anderson who served his country and his comrades in arms during World War II. In civilian life, Samie became a chef and literally served his community throughout his career. Now, at the end of a storied life, his family and our hospice team are serving him. Samie hopes to see the birth of a great-grandchild in October. In Samie’s story, we touch upon volunteer services that have provided unique support to Samie and his family.

In our second patient profile, you will read about Silvia Heyden, an artist, whose dedication inspired those around her and whose art inspired our community. Like Tim, she was also a musician and played with the Duke Symphony. Silvia continued to create art and music throughout her life. Her remarkable story from immigrant to artistic groundbreaker begins on page 10.

While our staff members are deeply dedicated to the families we serve, they also volunteer in the community to help others. Some of our staff also served in the United States Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard) before coming to Duke HomeCare & Hospice. They are listed on page 8.

Duke HomeCare & Hospice is fortunate to have extensive support from the communities we serve. You can see examples of this in the stories on pages 14 and 15 about special events held to raise money for our hospice program. I’m pleased we can recognize these generous individuals for their commitment to helping others and to supporting our community.

I hope you will be inspired by the dedication and service of these individuals. I’m sure many of you reading this letter also share their values of dedication and service to others. Thank you for allowing us to serve the community for nearly 40 years. It is an honor we continue to treasure.

Sincerely,

B. Starr Browning, RN MSNExecutive Director

hospice has given me answers and helped me to understand what he is going through and why,” adds Dale.

Bringing services to the Anderson home, DHCH nurse Christine provides care to Samie and information to Dale. “Oh my goodness – Christine teaches me as she cares for Dad and has helped me with so much preventative health care,” says Dale. “I’m being

prepared for what could happen and what the treatment could be. And Christine helps me keep Dad at ease.”

Dale says that DHCH has been a pleasant surprise. “My perspective of hospice was ‘the end,’” she says. “I really didn’t even want to consider hospice because it was like I was starting to accept that he was going to die. But hospice is way beyond that impression that I had.” She says that hospice is helping her dad

“expire gracefully with dignity while in his own home, in familiar surroundings. It also allows us as his family to have support.” The family is hopeful that Samie will be alive in October to help celebrate the birth of a great grandchild who will have Anderson in his/her name.

Dale says that in addition to being grateful for DHCH’s nursing care, she is thankful for the spiritual support. “The chaplain comes to our home and to visit with us at least once a month or as needed,” she says. “I can always call him.” Samie believes that his faith in and dedication to God kept him alive during WWII. He recounted to his family members his memories of seeing 400 men die in just one day during the war.

In recognition of his military service, Samie was included in one of the Triad Flights of Honor in Greensboro. He was among about 100 WWII veterans who were flown to Washington DC for a day. “He enjoyed a first class day of events, giving him and the other veterans the honor that was due them, “says Dale.”They visited different monuments with the highlight being the WWII Memorial.”

The most recent recognition of Samie’s service came courtesy of Duke HomeCare and Hospice’s military recognition program. (See story on page 6.) In July, on the occasion of Samie’s 107th birthday celebration, DHCH volunteer Skip Young presented Samie with a certificate honoring his service in the U.S. Army in addition to a red, white, and blue shawl. “The presentation was a very solemn and honorable acknowledgement of Dad’s sacrifice to his nation,” says Dale. “(Skip) is a Navy veteran and it is humbling when a veteran honors another veteran.” She adds that her dad finds comfort wearing his shawl which she describes as looking almost like an American flag.

“My dad is representative of so many men who are the true essence of our country’s backbone,” says Dale. “He has shown us the love, dignity, and commitment a man can have when he is willing to take the risk of sacrificing his own life for someone else. And he continued sharing his love and commitment through his cooking, always giving his best.”

At 107 years old, Samie Anderson has lived an unusually long life, filled with dedication and service to his country and his community. Despite facing noxious racism during his Mississippi childhood, Samie overcame the odds and has enjoyed a rich and full life.

One of the key turning points in Samie’s life was his service in the U.S. Army during World War II. He served as a mess sergeant in the Pacific on the Philippine island of Luzon from 1941 through 1945. Cooking for soldiers for four years inspired him to become a master chef once he returned to civilian life, working in restaurants throughout Baltimore and Annapolis, Maryland. His daughter, Dale, says that her dad was the best cook she has ever known. Samie’s scratch yeast rolls and cinnamon buns are among Dale’s favorites.

Samie showed his dedication to others with his care for a Filipino orphan named Gloria during his time in the army. “It wasn’t

uncommon for soldiers to take care of and provide for the many children who were orphaned during the war,” says Dale. “My dad ‘adopted’ Gloria while he was on the island and it was his goal to bring her home to the states.” Sadly, because of paperwork and administrative complications, Samie was unable to achieve that goal.

“That was one of the saddest days of his life, even though he was coming home, something he feared he wouldn’t be able to do after the war,” says Dale. Fortunately, Samie was coming home to Ruby, the love of his life. Ruby and Samie were wed shortly after his return. They had two sons by the time Dale joined the family in 1952.

Samie was able to live independently in Baltimore, still enjoying cooking, until 2009. He then moved to Durham to live with Dale and her family, although he was originally reluctant to return to the South, remembering the pain of his Mississippi childhood.

While the Veterans Affairs Medical Center provides excellent primary care to Samie, in the past year his advanced age and an adverse reaction to medication made it clear that a higher level of care was needed. That’s when Duke HomeCare and Hospice (DHCH) became part of the Anderson family’s life. “Most people don’t know how to care for someone my dad’s age but hospice does,” says Dale. Diagnosed with PTSD a year ago, Samie has had nightmares and other symptoms that stem from his time in the military. “The care from

When thinking about community members who exemplify "dedication and service," we don't need to look any further than the volunteers at Duke HomeCare and Hospice (DHCH.) Whether serving as receptionists/ambassadors at the front desk of Hock Family Pavilion or helping a patient write her life story, more than 225 individuals regularly give back to the community as volunteers for us.

Kay Harmon, a DHCH volunteer for the past six years, has utilized her talents in needle arts to knit and crochet more than 850 care shawls for patients. Kay, who has been knitting for about 66 years, says that creating shawls, which bring patients comfort and security, brings her pleasure. "It's a way to pay back the community," she says. "I attach a card with my first name on it to all my shawls but I don't know who I'm knitting for and the recipient doesn't know who made it. But they can feel that somebody in the community cares about them."

Kay says she finds it most rewarding to create red, white, and blue care shawls that DHCH presents to military veterans. "Veterans have given so much to everyone else that this is the least I can do to say thanks," she says.

Another DHCH volunteer, Skip Young, has the pleasure of presenting those patriotic shawls, created by Kay and her fellow knitting volunteers, to veterans as part of DHCH's military recognition of hospice patients. A U.S. Navy veteran himself, Skip has

been involved with this program since he began volunteering at hospice three years ago. In addition to the shawls, patients are presented with

a certificate denoting their name and branch of service with thanks for their service.

"It's very satisfying for me to recognize somebody who wasn't recognized enough in his lifetime for service to his country," says Skip. "It's great to see the appreciation the families show when the veterans are recognized in an appropriate manner."

Carolyn Colsher, who is the Volunteer Supervisor for Duke HomeCare & Hospice, says that there are myriad ways that community members serve hospice patients with dedication. "We have a wonderfully diverse group of volunteers who come from all walks of life, backgrounds, ethnicities and cultures," says Carolyn. "Our youngest volunteer who works with patients is 18 and our oldest is 89."

Volunteers provide direct support to patients and families in a variety of ways including: one-on-one respite care and companionship for patients – playing Scrabble, listening to music together, sorting through a lifetime's worth of papers. Fundraising volunteers also help raise money to support our nonprofit's programs. Some volunteers help with DHCH's bereavement programs while others assist with administrative office tasks.

"We also have volunteers at the inpatient facility who are receptionists/ambassadors," says Carolyn. "They help patients and families feel supported and as though this is their home from the minute they walk into the building."

Carolyn remembers Terry Johnson who was named the 2007 National Hospice and Palliative Care volunteer of the year for his more than 20 years of volunteer service to DHCH. "He was a patient and family support volunteer for us and was just an incredibly kind and committed volunteer," she says. "He died on our service and it was an honor to return to him the care he gave to so many others."

Volunteer Spotlight

As a musician, Timothy Holley, DMA, has always considered performing for the community to be an act of service. So it isn’t surprising that Tim, an associate professor of music at North Carolina Central University, shares the gift of his cello music each week with patients, families, and staff members at Duke HomeCare and Hospice’s Hock Family Pavilion.

“Musicians are expected to have the dedication to do three things: perform, practice, and rehearse,” he says. “Playing at the Hock Family Pavilion fits into a fourth category which some people would call ministry. When I play, the music fills the space that it’s occupying just like water fills a container. But unlike water filling a container, the sound of music transforms the space but doesn’t stay there eternally; only the memory of what was played will be there. The music facilitates some unforgettable moments.”

Tim, who has dedicated more than 45 years of his life to the cello, shares his gift of music room-to-room at the Hock Family Pavilion. “If it looks like I won’t be disturbing, I’ll sit down and play very quietly,” he says. “I don’t play for too long and I’m very careful not to play anything that’s too intricate or involved.”

At the inpatient facility, there is a ritual when a deceased patient is taken out of the building: a bell is rung and all staff members not working directly with a patient or family member line the hallways to pay respect to the deceased. During one such ritual, Tim played the spiritual “Deep River” which was a moving tribute shared by everyone present.

Tim says that he opens himself to being profoundly transformed each time he volunteers. “I think that I sometimes get more therapy than the patients,” he says. “As we give, we get much more than we anticipated.”

Cello music is just one element of Duke HomeCare and Hospice’s Complementary Therapy Program, which offers non-pharmacological support for patients. “Our focus is on interventions that can be provided by volunteers to bring comfort and to help manage symptoms,” says Carolyn Colsher, DHCH’s Volunteer Supervisor. Pets at Duke brings in teams comprised of a dog and a handler, also accompanied by a DHCH volunteer, to offer pet therapy. Reiki—a touch therapy—is offered as is hospice massage therapy, which is more gentle traditional massage.

Currently, live music is offered at the patient’s bedside by a cellist, a mandolin player, a vocalist, a hammered dulcimer player, and a Native American flutist. In addition, music echoes through the hallways thanks to volunteers who play the piano in the building.

“These volunteers bring tremendous comfort by relaxing and distracting patients,” says Colsher. “Patients are able to enjoy something that was important to them, whether that is classical music or the good memories of their beloved pets.”

But patients aren’t the only ones who benefit. The music provided by volunteers often starts conversations among visitors or in family groups. The staff members enjoy having a brief shoulder massage or getting to pet a dog. “Staff will tell me that they are so thrilled to work on Monday evening because that’s when Timothy will be performing with his cello,” says Carolyn.

Silvia Heyden lived a life dedicated to creativity and her artistic vision while giving to others. She filled each day with things she loved—family, weaving, playing music, and walking on the Eno River—until just six months before her passing in March 2014, while under the care of the Hock Family Pavilion.

Born and raised in Basel, Switzerland, Silvia attended art school in Zurich where she was introduced to the art of weaving and the Bauhaus tradition. Bauhaus strongly influenced Silvia’s path of artistic discovery as she ventured onto uncharted paths in modern tapestry.  Throughout her career, she dedicated 12 hours a day to weaving, creating more than 2,000 bright, modern, abstract, daring, and bold pieces.

A few of those pieces hung in Silvia’s room during her time in the inpatient facility.  Her daughter, Francoise, says that she is grateful that the Hock Family Pavilion staff allowed the family to be surrounded by their matriarch’s art. “Having her tapestries there was so soothing to us,” says Francoise.  “The staff members are so open to whatever the family asks for.”  

That support was also shown when the staff helped the family celebrate Silvia’s 88th birthday, the day that

she entered the inpatient facility.  “It was a beautiful introduction to how the hospice operates,” says Francoise.  “We were able to have a very meaningful ceremony with our family and close friends, knowing that her brothers in Switzerland, who had always looked up to their big sister, were lighting candles for her at the same time.”

Silvia stayed focused on her artistic expression even as they moved back and forth between the U.S. and Europe multiple times, first in 1954 when she married her late husband, Siegfried, in Baltimore where he did his medical training.  Since it’s very complicated to move an upright loom, especially across the Atlantic, she did not get one until 1964, focusing instead on hooking rugs, fabric printing, and violin playing.  They first came to Durham in 1966 (with the new loom!) when Siegfried received a faculty appointment at Duke Medical School and then returned again after a sabbatical in Switzerland in 1972.

She loved the artistic freedom she experienced in Durham and created her own unique weaving techniques in bold, abstract, and intensely colorful tapestries.   After Siegfried retired in 1993, the Heydens moved back to the Ticino in Switzerland with Silvia returning permanently to Durham in 2004, a few years before Siegfried passed away.  Through all of those moves, Silvia’s dedication to her art was a constant.

“Mom was very disciplined and had a daily routine that you did not mess with,” laughs Francoise.  “There was weaving, although once she was in her 80s, she could ‘only’ do six hours at the loom each day. Then she played the violin for three hours and walked along the Eno.”  In her later years, Silvia lived in a home on the Eno designed by her architect son, Daniel. “My brother created a very modern, light-filled, solar passive home with the loom at the very center,” says Francoise. “That home helped her stay creative and active in her last 10 years.”

Silvia loved looking into and swimming in the water. “You could have blindfolded her and set her loose anywhere and she would have found her way back to the Eno,” says

Francoise.  “Even in her 80s, she would confidently go over rocks, bumps and boulders and swim in her favorite swimming holes. If you saw an old woman in the water and wondered what she was doing, that was probably mom!”

In the 1970s and 1980s, Silvia was commissioned to create scores of tapestries. Her work was featured in the offices of myriad local companies and organizations, including IBM and the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics and in the homes of many private collectors. Her final art exhibit, held at the Durham Arts Council in January 2014, drew 500 people to its opening.  In 2011, Kenny Dalsheimer, a documentary filmmaker based in Durham, created the film “A Weaverly Path” which captures

Silvia’s creativity and artistic dedication.  

During her final months, Silvia worked alongside family members on a coffee

table book which will be filled with photos of her work.  The nearly

finished piece on Silvia’s loom when she passed away features

a silky white path going through a periwinkle purplish background. “We were beside ourselves because she was weaving a path into heaven as her very last piece,” says Francoise. “My nephew said, ‘it’s a weaverly path.’ It is going to be the last photo in the

book.”

Silvia was dedicated to creating art in all of its forms.  “The strings

on the violin corresponded to the strings on the loom and one inspired

the other, “says Francoise.  “She would play what she saw and weave what she

heard.”  Silvia performed in the Duke Symphony in the 1970s and 1980s and was very active in the

string orchestras in Switzerland. In fact, when the Heydens returned to live in Switzerland in the 1990s, Silvia was the oldest violinist in her regional string orchestra.

Given the Heyden family’s love of music, Duke HomeCare and Hospice’s Complementary Therapy Program, which includes offering patients and families private concerts by local musicians, was a tremendous support during Silvia’s last day. “A nurse came in right after Mom had passed and asked if we wanted Timothy (Holley – see story on page xx) to come in and play the cello for us,” remembers

Francoise.  

“We said, ‘of course,’ and he came and played the Bach solos for about an hour. It was so soothing and heavenly. The way he played was so life affirming and positive that I was reminded how important it is to find the best in life and be intentional about what you make of this precious life that you have.”

Silvia was intentional about sharing her gifts in service toward others.  She taught workshops on color theory, advanced weaving techniques, and Bauhaus principles.  Just last year, while more than a dozen of her tapestries were on exhibit at Ravenscroft School, Silvia spent a day with the high school art students. She explained to them her principles and her new discoveries and then worked with the students for a hands-on activity with her yarns and color theory. 

“My mom lived her life in service to the arts and encouraged people to pick up whatever artistic means they are called to,” says Francoise. “She believed that art enriches everyone’s life.  She wanted people to discover the deeper truth about themselves through art, to balance life with art, and not just focus on making a living.”

A Life Dedicated to the Arts

Squeals of excitement, peals of laughter and constant activity are the hallmark of any camping experience for children. At Camp ReLEAF, children participate in all the usual camp activites – arts & crafts, Zumba & Yoga classes, great adventures, s’mores by a campfire and whispered conversations from bunk beds late into the night. The difference is that every fun activity is a learning experience that helps children learn to process the emotions that come with the loss of a loved one.

Arts & Crafts help children to create keepsakes that remind them of their loved one. Physical activities help children learn to redirect anger or resentment. And s’mores? They come after the children have decorated glass votive holders and lined the wall of the firepit with these reminders of their loved ones before they roast marshmallows over the pit.

Camp ReLEAF 2015 was attended by 18 girls and 17 boys from Alamance, Bladen, Durham Granville, Orange and Wake Counties. While children ranged in age from 6 to 14, the largest group was Fourth Graders. African-American, Asian, Caucasian and Asian children were represented. The registration fee of $35 was waived for over 40% of these children and no child pays more than the registration fee thanks to generous donations from the community.

The camp experience is supported by 27 community volunteers and nine DHCH employee and intern volunteers. All volunteers were asked to attend a three-hour training session prior to camp. Forty staff exceeded our goal of one-to-one support which is critical for camper’s physical and emotional safety.

In 2016, Camp ReLEAF will celebrate its 25th Anniversary. To celebrate, we are extending the overnight camp experience to a full weekend thanks to a two-year commitment of support from The Park Foundation! This will enrich the experience for campers and will allow professional staff more time to address individual needs of campers. The 2016 camp will be held April 29th through May1st at Camp New Hope in Orange County. To register a child or to volunteer, call 919-644-6869, extension 222. Registrations are taken throughout the year.

Park Foundation Funds Camp GrowthThanks to a generous two-year grant from the Park Foundation, the Camp ReLEAF experience will expand to a full weekend to better enhance the benefits for children in kindergarten through 8th grade. The Park Foundation is a long-time friend of Duke Hospice having funded pilots of our Complementary Therapy program and our Understanding Grief in the Schools program. We are grateful to partner with them for our 25th Anniversary Camp ReLEAF.

Healing Can Be Fun!

Duke Hospice relies on community support to help fund unique programs and services in local communities like the bereavement training we do with educators in the school systems. Each year, individuals and companies in the Triangle area step up to develop, and run, events that help to fund our community bereavement services as well as to provide support for hospice patients and their families. Two events raised over $20,000 last year for the Duke Hospice program.

Hope Valley Ladies Night OutThis second-year event, developed by Hope Valley residents Belinda Rasmussen and Nancy Dougherty, was pulled together by a committee of three Hope Valley residents – Joanne Liddle, Beth Sholtz and chairperson Becky Wood. Beth and Mike Sholtz hosted the event in their home with over 70 guests in attendance. Food and beverages were donated by area merchants and some even made cash contributions to the cause. Nearly $15,000 was raised to support Duke Hospice and Bereavement Services. The 2016 Ladies Night Out will be held in February and will be hosted by Hope Valley resident Anna Ho.

Fire & Ice a Winning Combination! Friends in the Community

Mule-a-RamaThis unusual event was created by Randolph County resident, Skip Neese, and Orange County residents Wright Robinson and his wife Cindie more than 22 years ago. The Mule-a-Rama is a Mule, Donkey and Horse Show held every April with contestants from several states. All proceeds benefit hospice programs in the areas where participants live. A check for $4,500 was presented to Duke Hospice Bereavement Manager William Holloman this year by Cindi and Skip.

The 13th annual Oh, What a Night! Gala featured the theme of Fire & Ice. Guests were greeted by performance artists twirling fire at the entrance to the Hope Valley Country Club on April 11th. Once inside, guests were mesmerized by a ballerina inside a snow globe who danced for them while snow blew around her. The theme also carried through to the food and beverages that included jumbo shrimp on ice, fire-seared filet mignon, spicy seafood shooters, and a signature cocktail designed exclusively for the 2015 gala – the Hot Durham.

Guests posed throughout the night at our Fire & Ice Photo Booth for a commemorative photo to take home. The booth features also gave guests the option to post their photos on social media sites from the gala. With over 230 guests, there were quite a few pictures on social media! Nearly $90,000 was raised to benefit hospice programs and services. The gala also provided the

perfect venue to honor long-time emcee of the event, Larry Stogner, with an inaugural Duke Hospice Volunteer of the Year award. Ruby Byrd, nursing assistant, received the BlueCross and BlueShield of NC Caregiver of the Year Award. Ruby has provided care to Duke Hospice patients and their families for over 20 years!

The evening’s festivities would not have been complete without our good friends, The Embers featuring Craig Woolard. Craig and his wife Debbie have a personal connection to hospice and graciously lend their support whenever we ask.

The 14th annual Oh, What a Night! Gala will feature “Shanghai Nights” at the Rickhouse in Durham overlooking the old ballpark. The 2016 gala will be held on Saturday, April 23rd, with a catered menu that includes Dim Sum carts. If you are interested in a gala sponsorship or would like to serve on the gala committee, please contact Dee Blake at dee.blake@duke.edu or call Dee at 919-479-0317. Advance tickets are $125 per person or a table for ten is $1,000.

Duke Hospice gratefully acknowledges the support of our lead sponsor, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of NC, and the many sponsors who made the 2015 Gala possible. We also wish to thank Christie Vasquez and her amazing Gala Committee!

A brief memorial service will be held at 6:30 pm, which you may choose to attend. It is our hope that the brilliance of the luminaries and the warmth of your memories will remind you of the enduring power of the relationship you have with those who have died.

A minimum donation of $30.00 is required for each luminary you dedicate in memory of a loved one (all proceeds benefit our bereavement services). Your donations will be used to help Duke Hospice Bereavement Services continue to provide bereavement support to all members of our community whether they are connected to one of our patients or not. Lights of Remembrance raised over $7,000 last year to support the Duke Hospice Bereavement Services.
