HEALING ROOTED IN HARMONYLike our founders, the Sisters of Saint Francis, at Marian Regional Medical Center we are believers in both the science of medicine and the healing power of nature.

The Ferini Ardantz Healing Garden represents the last phase and crowning jewel of the new hospital construction project. Through careful thought of combining specific colors, flourishing greenery, fragrant scents and stones, the Ferini Ardantz Healing Garden offers a tranquil environment where visitors can connect with nature.

This sanctuary for healing, relaxation and respite would not have been possible without the generosity of three very special families – Georganne and Milo Ferini, Patrick and Jeri Ferini, and Henri and Jeanie Ardantz. Marian is honored to be touched by their generosity which continues to make a profoundly positive impact on the future of Marian, our patients and our community.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends of Marian,

Since opening Marian Regional Medical Center’s new hospital two years ago, Marian has been guided by one fundamental vision: to fulfill our promise to the community to provide unparalleled care for our patients, our families and our community.

The fulfillment of Marian’s promise to the community has resulted in the medical center’s transformation from a community hospital to a regional medical center. From the treatment of cancer to the birth of a baby, patients from all over the Central Coast are coming to Marian, knowing that we are delivering on our promise: a promise to provide the highest level of care by investing in the latest technological investments and recruiting health care professionals and physicians from the nation’s top medical schools and institutions.

Marian is proud of its standing as one of the nation’s finest medical centers, consistently producing outcomes within the nation’s top tenth percentile. As such, Marian continues to be rated as one of the best performing hospitals throughout Dignity Health and for the past 14 months Marian has held the top ranking position within the Dignity Health system for the highest “overall patient experience” survey results. Marian also recently received the prestigious Healthgrades’ 2014 Award for Clinical Excellence and was named one of America’s Best 100 Hospitals for Critical Care, ranking among the top 5% in the country for critical care services.

Within this issue of Innovations we are proud to share with you that construction work has begun on the expansion of Marian’s Heart Center. The first phase will include a new, state-of-the-art cardiac interventional hybrid suite and is projected to be completed by early 2015. The second phase will include the installation of advanced cardiovascular equipment to support Electrophysiology (EP) services. You will also read about opportunities for philanthropic giving, powerful patient and donor testimonials, the historic start of Marian’s Family Medicine Residency Program and the many ways Marian continues to invest in the best technologies to provide the highest level of care and safety.

Since Marian’s inception, philanthropy has been integral and essential to the growth and development of medical services at Marian. It is a rare opportunity to have the power to change the face of health care and we couldn’t deliver on our promise without the support of our community. You are part of our health care team, volunteering invaluable support through your resources, time and community partnership in order to make Santa Maria and the Central Coast a vibrant and strong community.

We are truly grateful to all our supporters who not only invest in our programs, medical professionals and vision, but also believe in the value of Marian’s healing service. On behalf of our health care professionals, physicians, volunteers and patients, I wholeheartedly thank you for your support which will continue to positively transform care for both present and future generations.

In Gratitude,

Charles J. Cova President and CEO Marian Regional Medical Center

MARIAN BU I LDS ON THE FUTURE OF THE HEART CENTERConstruction begins on the Heart Center Expansion

The future of the Heart Center at Marian Regional Medical Center is here as construction on the Heart Center Expansion has officially commenced.

Although the Marian Heart Center is already recognized for excellence and is a regional leader for care of the most common and complex cardiac conditions, it is now poised to become a world-class entity as the medical center’s Heart Center Expansion Project will encompass the addition of a new cardiac interventional hybrid suite, a catheterization laboratory with electrophysiology (EP) capabilities and a new modernized catheterization laboratory.

Increasing growth coupled with an aging population requires the best in cardiovascular care, making the expansion of the Marian Heart Center more critical than ever.

“The Marian Heart Center has experienced record growth due in part to heart disease remaining the leading cause of death and Marian’s designation as a STEMI Receiving Center,” explains Samir Bhatt, M.D., cardiologist. “We are at the point where we are activating the lifesaving STEMI protocol almost daily, but with first rate benchmarks and top-tier physicians, we are making a difference every day.”

Cardiac surgeons (left to right) Stephen Freyaldenhoven, M.D., David Canvasser, M.D., and Luke Faber, M.D., kick off construction of Marian’s Heart Center Expansion in what will become the new cardiac interventional hybrid suite.

Ranked in the top 10% nationally for all cardiac care measures of quality, the Marian Heart Center’s cardiac survival rates are among the best in the country. Our superior cardiac program combines the talents of experienced cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons and highly skilled health care professionals who are dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart disease and cardiac conditions.

“Although the Heart Center Expansion Project will bring the latest facilities and advanced technologies to Marian, this initiative is so much more than just a physical transformation,” says Sue Kelman, RN, Senior Director of Nursing Services.

“The Heart Center Expansion Project will fundamentally transform the way we care for cardiac patients by advancing care even further. The expansion project ensures that Marian will not only have the latest in state-of-the-art technology, but also that the program’s clinical components – techniques and resources – continue to flourish.”

PHASE 1: Cardiac Interventional Hybrid Suite

Today’s surgical landscape continues to rapidly evolve as breakthroughs in science and technology are accelerating at an overwhelming speed. At present, interventional treatments and surgeries often overlap and are referred to as “hybrid” procedures. The Marian Heart Center’s cardiac interventional hybrid suite will embrace the latest multidisciplinary model of care, using leading-edge techniques and the most advanced technology. But more than that, it will allow for multiple procedures without the transfer of a patient to a second procedure room.

In July of 2014, Marian celebrated the construction kickoff of the Heart Center Expansion Project as the medical center’s cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons and hospital leadership took sledge hammers to walls in what will be the hospital’s new cardiac interventional hybrid suite come early 2015.

Marian’s cardiac interventional hybrid suite is a highly-advanced space where cardiologists and surgeons will work side-by-side in the same room, at the same time. This full service laboratory will allow for minimally-invasive vascular reconstructions and coronary heart attack work to be done simultaneously. The opening of the cardiac interventional hybrid suite will deliver the latest in advanced technology, including high-tech imaging, computer and diagnostic equipment, and newly developed interventional capabilities.

PHASE 2: Electrophysiology (EP) and Cardiac Rhythm Management

Following the completion of the cardiac interventional hybrid suite, construction crews will begin renovation work on the Heart Center’s existing cardiac catheterization laboratory to transform it into not only a modern catheterization lab, but one with dedicated electrophysiology and cardiac rhythm management capabilities.

When it comes to heart rhythm disorders, physicians specializing in electrophysiology are electricians of the heart, treating irregular heartbeats that are the result of abnormal electrical impulses that cause the heart to beat too quickly, slowly or irregularly. Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disorder, affecting more than 4% of the population. Currently, atrial fibrillation patients travel out of the area for care, but once Marian’s dedicated electrophysiology cardiac catheterization laboratory is complete, patients and their families will no longer need to leave the area for care.

“The Heart Center’s growth and new electrophysiology service is a prime example of how Marian is bringing the technology to the patient, rather than the patient going to the technology,” states cardiologist Mark Ginkel, M.D. “Marian has pledged a commitment to our community and as part of our commitment, the medical center continues to add services and programs equivalent to major university medical centers.”

The New Frontier: Peripheral Vascular & Endovascular Interventions

Blood flow to the arms, legs and vital organs is essential in order for muscles and tissues to receive oxygen and nutrients needed for physical activity and optimal health. When the arteries that feed blood to limbs are blocked by plaque patients often experience pain or numbness and in extreme cases amputation is required.

With the rapidly evolving medical specialty of peripheral vascular and endovascular interventions, there is no need for invasive surgery to restore proper blood flow. Instead, cardiologists at Marian, led by Bruce Ourieff, M.D., are treating patients by making a tiny incision into an artery in order to insert a catheter which then restores blood flow to the blocked area. This type of procedure is much less invasive and less risky than standard surgeries and results in improved outcomes and a shorter recovery for patients.

At Marian, the number of peripheral vascular interventional procedures has grown profoundly over the years and has earned the medical center a reputation as one of the largest peripheral vascular programs with the highest volume and lowest limb amputation rates on the west coast.

With the leadership of Dr. Bruce Ourieff, Marian has built a peripheral vascular and endovascular intervention program that is the only one of its kind in the region and delivers a level of care only seen at major university medical centers.

Dr. Ourieff explains, “We are dedicated to taking care of all vascular patients and have pledged a commitment to both patients and our fellow referring physicians to stand with patients throughout their care. Whether treatment options are a medical, surgical or vascular approach, we will support our patients and their families regardless of severity of the illness

– from common to complex. It is this program’s philosophy which is just as important to patient care as the leading edge technology we use.”

As a leader in peripheral vascular and endovascular interventions, Marian is now embarking on its next endeavor: the development of a wound center. The establishment of a wound center will strengthen Marian’s peripheral vascular program since patients who suffer from peripheral arterial disease commonly experience complications from wounds that do not heal.

The Impact of Your Contribution

To provide our community with the facilities, technology and medical experts of the future, the Marian Foundation initiated an ambitious goal in 2013 to raise $1.5 million for the Heart Center Expansion Project from community donations. Although construction on Marian’s Heart Center Expansion Project has commenced, Marian has currently received about half of the community donations needed to raise $1.5 million.

“The survival of patients suffering from heart attacks or other cardiac conditions depends on the quality and proximity of lifesaving cardiovascular care,” affirms Alex Harrison, M.D., Chairman of Cardiology and Medical Director of Noninvasive Cardiovascular Services at Marian. “Marian is committed to providing our community with the best physicians and providing our physicians with access to innovative technologies and treatments. The community’s support of the Heart Center Expansion Project is a sound investment in the health of the community and will redefine cardiac care for Santa Maria and the Central Coast.”

If you would like to see your charitable gift make a meaningful community impact, consider donating to the Marian Heart Center Expansion Project. Every gift of any size matters. To discuss the most advantageous way you can get involved, please contact the Marian Foundation at (805) 739-3595.

AT THE THRESHOLD BETWEEN L I FE AND DEATHCardiac patient Jerry Watson is living proof that medicine makes miracles happen

It was July 13, 2013, and Jerry Watson was at Santa Maria’s Annual Pioneer Picnic, enjoying the day with longtime friends – until he collapsed.

As soon as Jerry lost consciousness and dropped to the ground, his lifelong friends knew something was seriously wrong. Luckily for Jerry, paramedic Kevin Hightower had recently joined the Santa Maria Elks Barbeque Crew and was working the event. Kevin immediately rushed to Jerry and with another bystander’s help began and continued CPR until paramedics arrived on the scene.

Jerry’s heart function had ceased abruptly and without warning as he was experiencing a massive heart attack caused by a full blockage, known as a STEMI heart attack.

In the coming hours and days Jerry’s life would hang in the balance between life and death. It would take a total of seven defibrillation shocks, emergency cardiac catheterization intervention and a medically-induced coma for Jerry to be brought back to life.

“I will never forget the phone call I received from my dad’s dear friend, telling me what had happened,” recounts Robin Patten, Jerry’s daughter. “I was told that we needed to come fast to the park and that it didn’t look good.”

Paramedics transported Jerry to Marian Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Department and while en route Jerry coded three times. As part of the STEMI protocol, a regional heart attack response program and streamlined process proven to improve heart attack outcomes, Marian physicians, nurses and medical professionals were immediately informed of Jerry’s serious condition and were prepared for his arrival. Once in the catheterization laboratory, Jerry coded not only once, but a total of four more times while cardiologist Samir Bhatt, M.D., and cath lab staff repaired the blocked artery to Jerry’s heart.

Although Jerry does not remember many events that took place on July 13, 2013, and the days following, he is certain of one thing, “I was lucky; everything happened at the right time and because of the folks at Marian, I’m here today.”

Throughout the eight days Jerry was at Marian, his three loving children, Robin, Jerry, and Dana, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren remained by his side.

Robin explains, “I remember being in the Critical Care Unit. Kody – my eight-year-old grandson and my dad’s great-grandson – was there. You could just see how concerned he was for his Poppy. Jim Wahlig, a respiratory therapist, also saw Kody’s fear as he reached for his great-grandpa’s foot and it was frozen to touch. Jim knelt down to Kody’s level and took the extra time to explain why his Poppy was in a cold suit and how the cold suit was going to help heal him. It’s this special level of care for which we will forever be grateful. Not only do I still have my dad, but everyone at Marian cared for my dad the way I care for my dad and there are not enough words to express our gratitude.”

Cardiac patient Jerry Watson and his family celebrate the one-year anniversary since his massive heart attack by visiting Pioneer Park for the first time since his serious brush with death.

BERNARD AND MARGARET WICKSupporting Marian through donations of appreciated stock

Since moving to Santa Maria from England more than 25 years ago, Bernard and Margaret Wick have depended on Marian Regional Medical Center for the health of their family, friends and each other.

In turn, the Wicks have remained generous supporters of Marian and the Marian Heart Center. Understanding that gifts of appreciated investments, such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds, provide benefits to both Marian and the donor, the Wicks have most recently donated stock to Marian in support of the Heart Center Expansion Project.

With a history of heart disease, Bernard knows just how impor-tant it is to have access to cardiac care that ranks among the best in the nation. It was 16 years ago when Bernard underwent a four-way coronary artery bypass graft and an aortic bifemoral bypass procedure. In addition, he also suffered from congestive heart failure 12 years ago. In both instances, Bernard could have sought care at any medical center in the nation, but for both he trusted his heart to the Marian Heart Center.

“Marian is a true institution and a large part of all community members’ lives – from one end of the spectrum to the other,” explains Bernard. “When we donate to Marian we know that every cent stays local. We want to do our part to make a lasting difference in our community; to give back for what this institu-tion has done for my family, my friends and myself.”

Similar to Bernard, Margaret has also received lifesaving care from Marian and was recently admitted to the medical center for treatment of a serious infection. While at Marian, Margaret underwent emergency surgery and was admitted for a total of six days, but due to the care of Marian’s nurses and physicians, Margaret is now healthy and home.

Before relocating to the United States from England, Bernard was a Project Engineer for Exxon Mobil. During this time in his career, Exxon offered employees a share scheme of 20% of their salary in Exxon stock. Knowing the potential long-term benefits, Bernard invested in this opportunity.

With a gift of appreciated stock, donors like Bernard and Margaret essentially buy low and give high. They benefit from the charitable deduction for the full value of the appreciated stock, with a gift that cost them much less than the significant, full value benefit it delivers to the medical center. Gifts of ap-preciated stock are also more tax efficient since donors avoid capital gain taxes.

In addition to supporting Marian through philanthropic contributions, for the past five years Bernard has contributed to Marian as a volunteer and member of Marian’s Volunteer Services Executive Leadership Council.

“The volunteers here at Marian have a saying, ‘Volunteering at Marian keeps you out of Marian,’” adds Bernard with a smile.

“The medical professionals at Marian have their finger on the pulse and I owe Marian my life on more than one occasion. It is reassuring to know that the best in heart surgery and cardiol-ogy is here in Santa Maria.”

from purchasing of materials and technology to the building of a multidisciplinary team of neonatal experts.

“This Unit is family to me,” expresses Mary. “Each and every day we are here to create an environment of healing for our patients and their families. Our job is to guide families through this difficult process and to provide the highest level of medi-cal care to achieve the best possible outcomes. It’s incredibly rewarding and I feel privileged to be able to support our NICU.”

Clinical Nurse Specialist Mary Richards recently sponsored a bed space within Marian’s NICU and she selected this particular space because it offers full support and holds special significance as she has witnessed the most critical infants’ lives saved at this very location.

FURTHERING THE G I FT OF L I FEClinical Nurse Specialist Mary Richards supports Marian’s Newborn ICU in more ways than one

For many, a job is just a means of making a living, but for Clinical Nurse Specialist Mary Richards she has made a life by what she gives.

Improving the health and saving the lives of Marian Regional Medical Center’s youngest, smallest and most vulnerable pa-tients is what Mary does best. As a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Marian’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Mary spends her days caring for premature and critically-ill infants, where she offers more than just clinical support to these very special patients and their parents.

In addition to providing clinical care in the Newborn ICU, Mary is also a Marian donor and recently made a generous $15,000 gift to sponsor a NICU bed space.

After the passing of her father, Leslie Moore, Mary inherited her father’s estate. Inspired by her calling to care for neonates and their families, Mary decided to honor her father by making a gift in support of the patients and families she serves each and every day.

“As a veterinarian, my dad dedicated his life to caring for both small and large animals in need,” states Mary. “He and I would often compare how treating animals has similarities to treating infants due to their inability to communicate verbally. And like him, I care deeply for my patients. Ultimately, I think he would be very proud; through his generosity a positive impact will be made in the lives of NICU babies and their families.”

For Mary, her gift to the medical center’s NICU is more than just a donation. As an experienced neonatal Clinical Nurse Specialist, Mary was recruited to Marian more than six years ago as the medical center was establishing a neonatal program. Since her start at Marian, she has been intimately involved in all aspects of the NICU including the building of Marian’s first eight-bed NICU in 2010 and the new hospital’s 21-bed NICU which opened in 2012. In addition to helping plan the design of both NICUs, Mary was in charge of every NICU opening detail –

MARIAN DELIVERS ON COORD INATED PRENATAL CAREThe Perinatal, Obstetrics & Gynecology Health Center opens

The miracle of life starts at Marian Regional Medical Center as the best in comprehensive, coordinated prenatal care has been elevated to a new level with the recent opening of the Perinatal, Obstetrics & Gynecology Health Center.

Evidenced-based research shows that remarkable reductions in premature births, low birth-weight, and fetal complications can be successfully achieved by offering communities access to streamlined, comprehensive care. In order to improve the health of the local community, both the Perinatal, Obstetrics & Gynecology Health Center and the Perinatal Center offer all-inclusive obstetrics/gynecology health center services at one convenient location for patients and families.

“The opening of the Perinatal, Obstetrics & Gynecology Center offers the highest level of care for both the highest and lowest risk patients, resulting in a seamless transition when it is time for delivery,” explains Laurence Shields, M.D., Medical Director, Perinatal Center. “This new model of comprehensive care will be further enhanced by the Family Medicine Residency Program and is an example of how Marian is raising the level of care to that of a true academic medical center.”

Marian also offers patients Obstetrics Hospitalists coverage, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing all-inclusive care for Labor and Delivery patients. In addition, Marian offers a multidisciplinary Maternal Fetal Board where perinatal and obstetrics physician experts review high-risk cases in order to provide comprehensive care planning for mothers and babies with medical issues or abnormalities.

Services offered at the new Perinatal, Obstetrics & Gynecology Health Center, will be further enhanced as Marian Family Medicine residents will conduct their obstetrics rotation training at the Center and will witness the benefits of a focused, coordinated care delivery process. The Perinatal, Obstetrics & Gynecology Health Center will also allow the opportunity for physician residents to work with leading perinatology experts for the care of high-risk pregnancies and will offer the full continuum of care as they will follow patients, caring for them from pregnancy through delivery.

“As we look at the big picture, ease of access is key and this innovative model of care will not only allow perinatal and OB-GYN outpatient services to expand, but more importantly provide for the best possible health outcomes for mothers, infants and our community,” states Elaine Yin, M.D., M.P.H., Chair of Marian’s Maternal and Newborn Care Department.

“OB-GYN care is a large component of family medicine physicians’ training and residents at Marian have the great privilege of working with high-risk experts and learning from a streamlined delivery system.”

The Perinatal, Obstetrics & Gynecology Health Center is the only hospital-based, comprehensive outpatient clinic from Paso Robles to Solvang offering perinatal, obstetrics and gynecology services at one location.

CREATING V IBRANT COMMUN ITI ES THROUGH PARTNERSH IPDriscoll’s provides grant funding in support of NICU families

Families who have an infant receiving care in Marian Regional Medical Center’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) often have specialized needs that extend well beyond the walls of the hospital.

Marian’s Newborn ICU serves patients and families from all walks of life including low income farm workers. Very often farm working families or those struggling to make ends meet face great challenges providing just basic care needs for their baby such as car seats, bassinets, cribs, diapers and clothing. Through generous community donations, Marian began the NICU Outreach Program in the fall of 2012 to meet the safety, transportation and material needs of low income NICU families.

Like Marian, Driscoll’s, a global fresh berries company, focuses on ensuring access to services for all community

members in need, including farm workers in local fields. Driscoll’s Regional Community Grants Program supports opportunities for community giving and partnership to create vibrant communities for all. Seeing the important impact Marian’s NICU Outreach Program makes in the lives of those in need, Driscoll’s recently gifted a $5,000 grant in support of the vital program.

“We get a great feeling of accomplishment being able to give back to the community in which we live in and it is an honor to support great programs like this that offer opportunities that would not otherwise be available to farmworker families and others in need,” states Narded Eguiluz, Distribution Operations Manager for Driscoll’s Santa Maria office.

With support from Driscoll’s and other community con-tributors, the NICU Outreach Program provides support to families where needed whether it be an appropriate car seat specially designed for a premature infant, a bassinet, crib, or providing parents with means of transportation to be able to visit their critically-ill baby regularly. Through the generosity of Driscoll’s, Marian is working to ensure that NICU babies will be safe not only while they are in the hospital, but also after they have been discharged.

“We hope that these funds will benefit families that simply cannot afford the additional expenses brought on by frag-ile newborns, let alone the cost of a normal delivery,” adds Narded. “Families should be focused on healing during these difficult times and this program helps accomplish just that.”

If you would like to help the NICU provide not only lifesaving care but also imperative safety, transportation and material needs, please consider making a tax-deductible donation in support of NICU families at Marian. Your acts of generosity further Marian’s ability to provide our tiniest patients with the best care possible – today and every day. To learn more, please contact the Marian Foundation at (805) 739-3595.

For new parents, taking your baby home is an exciting conclu-sion to a long awaited nine months. For Baby Uriah Fuller’s parents, it’s a monumental milestone.

Born at only 23 weeks gestation and weighing only one pound, three ounces, baby Uriah is one of Marian Regional Medical Center’s youngest and most fragile patients.

For years prior to their pregnancy, Veronica Fabian and Joel Fuller of Orcutt had longed for a child. So when they found out that they were expecting, the couple was overjoyed in anticipation for their “miracle” baby.

At five and a half months, the unimaginable happened as Ve-ronica was admitted to Marian for preterm labor. Knowing that it was still 15 weeks before Uriah’s expected due date, parents Veronica and Joel were terrified of the uncertain outcome and possible developmental challenges their unborn baby faced.

“Uriah was our ‘miracle’ baby, our blessing,” explains Ve-ronica. “We knew that our baby was coming far earlier than normal; all we could do was pray. It was a very frightening and emotional process as we prepared for the emergency c-section. Although it was extremely worrisome, the staff at Marian was of great comfort as they reassured us that they would do everything in their power to get us through.”

Baby Uriah was born on December 9, 2013, and was imme-diately taken to Marian’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit for lifesaving neonatal care. As an extreme preterm baby, baby Uriah faced many serious challenges with an underdeveloped neurological system, underdeveloped lungs, eyes fused shut and risk of cognitive dysfunction.

“I’ll never forget the first time I saw him,” remembers Ve-ronica. “He was so tiny – his skin was highly transparent and he had a feeding tube. I was just so happy that he was alive, but it was devastating to see him struggle.”

On Christmas Day, baby Uriah gave his parents a very special gift – he opened his eyes for the very first time. Just one week

later, on New Year’s Day, Veronica held her son for the first time. In all, baby Uriah would need nearly five months of neonatal care before going home, but baby Uriah’s medical caregivers and family stayed by his side, tracking his daily progress and celebrating every large and small developmental milestone.

“After I was discharged, it was extremely difficult to leave Uriah each night,” adds Veronica. “Leaving your baby is heartbreaking, but what got me through was knowing that he was in good hands. I feel so lucky – my baby’s condition was extremely serious, yet our family was able to remain in our home town and was not separated from our support system of family and friends.”

Baby Uriah made it home on April 25, 2014. Today his future is bright and he is progressing with every new milestone reached. He is no longer in need of a feeding tube, shows zero signs of neurological damage and is growing stronger with each passing day.

“The physicians and nurses made us part of their family; we felt their genuine love and compassion,” adds Veronica. “We will forever be grateful for everyone at Marian. They gave us our happy beginning.”

For expectant parents, there is no greater joy than the highly anticipated birth of a child. But when precious babies are called to heaven before making it home from the hospital, parents can never be prepared for the devastating loss.

For families at Marian Regional Medical Center experiencing such tragedies, a newly established community volunteer program titled, “Angel Gowns for Dignity,” is providing great comfort to parents with a unique gift – beautiful gowns to lay their precious child to rest in. Angel Gowns for Dignity volunteers transform donated wedding dresses into “angel” gowns which are then gifted to grieving families for final photographs or burial.

After learning about angel gown donations, Susan Breshears, Senior Financial Analyst at Marian, was touched and felt called to bring this heartwarming proposition to both Marian and the Santa Maria community.

“God just put it on my heart; I had to support this program for families at Marian,” confesses Susan. “For grieving families, it is important to honor their child’s life. Angel Gowns for Dignity does just this by offering devastated families a simple, yet sentimental gift – a beautiful burial gown.”

For Susan, and many supporters of Angel Gowns for Dignity, she was moved to learn that many families who have lost a child experience great difficulty finding burial outfits since traditional pieces of baby clothing are often too large for stillborn or premature infants.

“TO HAVE TO GO SHOPPING TO FIND AN OUTFIT SMALL ENOUGH FOR YOUR CHILD, AMIDST SUCH GRIEF AND PAIN, IS UNIMAGINABLE,” STATES SUSAN.

Through Angel Gowns for Dignity families can select not only one, but two gowns: one for the burial of their child and a second as a keepsake for families to cherish and remember their baby.

Since the program’s inception in April, Angel Gowns for Dignity continues to touch hearts as women from all over the Central Coast and country are reaching out to donate their wedding dresses and volunteer their seamstress skills.

ANGEL GOWNS FOR D IGN ITYBringing comfort to families when babies never make it home from the hospital

Handmade angel gowns made from wedding dresses honor the loss of a child and range in sizes to fit the smallest premature infants to full-term babies.

Carrie Camacho is a registered nurse and one of five Marian employees who have recently donated their wedding dresses to Angel Gowns for Dignity.

“I have experienced four miscarriages and it means the world to me that my dress will provide comfort to a family experiencing such pain and sorrow,” explains Carrie. “I feel that this donation means so much more than just providing a dress for material use; my hope is that I am able to bless another family and that through my donation they will feel the love I felt when I got married.”

Mary Richards, registered nurse and Newborn ICU Clinical Nurse Specialist, knows just how special angel gown donations will be.

“Parents are usually never prepared for the loss of a baby,” says Mary. “The end of life should be as beautiful as the beginning of life and my prayer is that angel gown donations will honor these little angels and be both a positive and emotional gift for families.”

Currently seven Central Coast seamstresses volunteer their time to transform wedding dresses into angel gowns and nearly 50 wedding dresses have been donated – all within just a four-week period.

“The purpose of Angel Gowns for Dignity is to not only bring comfort and healing to families, but to also provide these special babies with dignity in death,” affirms Susan. “Like our ministry, this program reflects what we stand for as an organization – to provide each person with the inherent dignity they deserve and to provide families in need with compassion and kindness. I am truly touched by the outpouring of acts of humankindness I have witnessed as the program’s work is bringing healing to both grieving families and those who are sewing the gowns with love.”

To make a contribution in support of the Angel Gowns for Dignity Program, please contact the Marian Foundation at (805) 739-3595.

It was both a heartwarming and inspiring day throughout the Santa Maria Valley as people from all walks of life rallied in support of the inaugural Day of Hope event. On April 3, 2014, nearly 40 enthusiastic teams comprised of more than 300 community members took to the streets at dawn, uniting for one purpose: to sell $1.00 ‘special edition’ Day of Hope Santa Maria Times newspapers in support of Marian Cancer Care patients and families at Mission Hope Cancer Center.

Thanks to the overwhelming support from local businesses, civic groups, students and individuals, Day of Hope proceeds totaled more than $104,000, far surpassing the event goal of $75,000! One hundred percent of all Day of Hope donor contributions are applied to Marian Cancer Care, bringing vital programs and services to our patients, families and community. In addition to the phenomenal community support, remarkably touching Day of Hope stories also emerged of how so many are affected by cancer and the special, personal reasons for volunteer involvement or purchasing of a Day of Hope newspaper.

The incredible success of Day of Hope would not have been possible without the help of our giving and compassionate community. We would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all team leaders, participants, sponsors and community members who gave generously of their time and made Day of Hope contributions. Your support of Day of Hope makes a real impact in the lives of real cancer patients in our community who are our neighbors, friends and family members.

Even though the event is over, you can still support local cancer patients and families at Mission Hope Cancer Center. For more information, please contact the Marian Foundation at (805) 739-3595.

Beyond the science and statistics of cancer are remarkable patient stories of courage and spirit. The below message is cancer survivor Karin Hendricks’ story in her own words.

I was sitting at my kitchen table playing cards when I felt a lump. The lump led to a cancer diagnosis. I went through typical chemotherapy

for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and the cancer responded very well. I had a recurrence about three months after we thought the cancer was gone, which led to more chemo, and then a stem cell transplant.

I think I’ve come up with three words that summarize my expe-rience of having cancer and being a cancer patient. The words I’ve come up with are devastating, shameful and personal.

Finding out that you have cancer is devastating. It is not some-thing that I ever expected, and the fear can be a lot to deal with. Not only does the illness disrupt your life with treatment and tests and the discomfort that comes along with that, but it changes your idea of your future and what’s possible. You start to have thoughts: “I’ll never write a book, I’ll never see Italy, I’ll never play Evita or Lady Macbeth, I’ll never own a home of my own or have a successful garden, I’ll never take care of my mother in her old age.” Cancer is not something that was in my life plan.

And next, shameful. There was a real loss of identity for me. I’ve always defined myself by what I do, and for a time there, I really could not do anything. I couldn’t work, I couldn’t sing or act on stage. I didn’t have the energy to be a good friend, or a good daughter, or a good sister. I lost my physical and emotion-al strength which had defined me my whole life.

And lastly, personal. Everyone said, “It’s not your fault that you are sick. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a bad luck cancer. You can’t take your cancer personally.” Well, I did. It’s true, I had no one to blame, but it was incredibly personal.

I might have gotten the “bad luck” cancer, but I hit the jackpot with the team at Mission Hope Cancer Center headed by Dr. Robert Dichmann.

I took it personally when Dr. Dichmann took the time to answer every single question I had on my list. I took it personally when the Marian Cancer Care Patient Advocate opened her office and her heart, helping me to feel the strength that I had lost. And the Nurse Navigator who generously shared his knowledge and experience, which made me feel so much less isolated. I took it personally when the chemo nurses heated up rice packs in the microwave to soothe my sore forearm that burned from the chemo, and my last day of ABVD chemo when my oncology nurse did the moonwalk to celebrate my milestone.

And most of all, I took it personally when my oncologist Dr. Dichmann and the staff of Mission Hope Cancer Center made me believe that I WOULD write a book, visit Italy, play Evita and Lady Macbeth, own my own home and for once have a suc-cessful garden, and maybe even get to take care of my mother in her old age.

Cancer can be devastating. Cancer can be shameful. And I think that no matter what, it feels very personal. As of now, I have been cancer free for more than three years. I want to thank the team at Mission Hope Cancer Center for helping me celebrate my 33rd birthday in December. Thank you, team, for saving my life.

AN INSPIRING MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE Karin Hendricks’ Story

Until recently, diagnosing lung cancer was often a challeng-ing process due to the difficult and sometimes unreachable anatomical locations within the lungs.

With Marian Regional Medical Center’s recent acquisition of the super-Dimension® i·logic™ System, Marian is now the first medical facility in the region to provide patients with the most advanced lung cancer diagnostic technology available. The super-Dimension® i·logic™ System offers patients a safe and less invasive procedure using GPS-like technology.

Using the super-Dimension® i·logic™ System, pulmonologists Barry Feldman, M.D., and Robert Hinds, D.O., are provided with a 3D virtual roadmap to navigate through the lungs in order to safely and successfully secure lung biopsies.

This new outpatient procedure is called Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy and it is beginning to make a posi-tive impact in not only the early diagnosis of lung cancer, but also treatment for non-operable patients. If the area is deter-mined to be cancerous, the super-Dimension® i·logic™ System has the capability to place radiological markers around the tumor to enhance precision of radiation treatment, helping to preserve healthy lung tissue while destroying the tumor.

“This medical technology is the future of diagnostic medicine,” states Dr. Feldman. “The anatomy of the lung is made up of an extremely complex and narrow branching system. By utilizing the super-Dimension® i·logic™ System our hope is to catch lung cancer at earlier stages and improve patient outcomes.”

In addition to both physicians being fellowship trained, Dr. Feldman is quadruple boarded with American Board certifica-tions in internal medicine, pulmonary care, critical care and

sleep medicine, and Dr. Hinds is triple boarded with American Board certifications in internal medicine, pulmonary care and critical care. Together, Dr. Feldman and Dr. Hinds worked with the super-Dimension® i·logic™ System’s manufacture, Covidien, and medical center staff to bring this leading tech-nology to Marian and the Central Coast.

Dr. Hinds adds, “Navigating through the branching system of the lungs is similar to looking up from the base of a tree trunk – intricate and difficult to maneuver. There are areas within patients’ airways that are just too small to see, but with this new technology the system’s software creates a path, guiding us through all boundaries of the lungs.”

ADVANCING THE DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF LUNG CANCERGroundbreaking technology improves diagnosis of lung cancer lesions

Earlier this year, the Marian Regional Medical Center Foundation was named Dignity Health’s Foundation of the Year for fiscal year 2013.

Dignity Health’s esteemed Foundation of the Year Award was created to recognize philanthropic excellence within Dignity Health’s 32 affiliated fundraising foundations. This coveted award is only granted to the top performing Dignity Health foundation that has developed a successful fundraising program evidenced by an increase in fundraising revenue and establish-ment of innovative new programs, technologies and processes.

“Dignity Health’s Foundation of the Year Award was estab-lished to annually recognize the leading Dignity Health foundation for not only exceeding their philanthropic financial goals, but more importantly for developing a well-balanced fundraising program that is based on innovation, leadership

and Dignity Health’s values,” states Fred Najjar, Senior Vice President of Philanthropy, Dignity Health. “The recent Foundation of the Year Award is a clear indicator that the Marian Foundation takes great responsibility and strides in the stewardship of its generous community donations.”

The Marian Foundation’s philanthropic support of the medical center is vital to advancing patient care through the acquisi-tion of the latest medical technologies and groundbreaking procedures both now and into the future. As such, the Marian Foundation received the Foundation of the Year Award for raising a total of more than $4 million in revenue, funding for increasing contribution revenue annually for establishing a well balanced program of philanthropic activities, and imple-menting innovative, new programs.

“This significant honor is a testament to the Marian Foundation’s commitment to further high-quality, compas-sionate care provided at the medical center and demonstrates how generous community gifts are making a tangible difference in the level of care and service provided to Marian patients,” affirms Bill Burress, former Marian Foundation Board Chair for fiscal year 2013. “This astounding accomplishment would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of the Marian Foundation Board, devoted Marian Foundation staff members and most importantly our community donors.”

Marian Regional Medical Center recently celebrated a historic milestone as the Marian Family Medicine Residency Program welcomed its first class of physician residents and the medical center officially became a teaching hospital on July 1, 2014.

Marian’s inaugural class of five residents is made up of physicians from the nation’s leading academic institutions who all share an inspiring passion to be visionary leaders in their field.

In response to the growing national shortage of family medicine physicians, Marian instituted a family medicine residency program to build a strong primary care infrastructure for Santa Maria and the Central Coast by recruiting and retaining physicians to the region. The Marian Family Medicine Residency Program provides a landmark opportunity to improve primary care access in order to produce the best possible community health outcomes.

“It is an exciting time for both Marian and the community as we embark on our journey as a teaching hospital,” states David Oates, M.D., Director of Medical Education at Marian.

“Marian has worked very hard to get to this point, but it is just the beginning. The world of education and medicine is always evolving and Marian is committed to providing an inspiring, real world learning environment that brings community medicine to a new level.”

The Marian Family Medicine Residency Program is affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) and Western University. As a dually-accredited, three-year, post-graduate program, physician residents at Marian have begun their training and will experience the entire spectrum of family medicine – from prenatal care to geriatrics and every stage of life in between.

Richard McClaflin, M.D., Marian Family Medicine Program Director, explains, “Our first class of physician residents are not only highly intelligent with great interpersonal skills, but they also have the pioneering spirit to succeed as Marian’s first class of physician residents.”

As technology continues to advance and evolve medical education is constantly changing at a boundless rate, changing the face of clinical education for all health care professionals.

Marian Regional Medical Center recently opened a Professional Education Simulation Laboratory, known as a Sim Lab, an ideal training platform for emergency scenarios, effective communication and collaborative teamwork. Located on the Marian campus, the Sim Lab is a dedicated simulation learning facility that will be used by all levels of learners – from college nursing students to family medicine residents, nursing staff and even experienced physicians.

The Sim Lab features four simulation rooms, two rooms with high fidelity human patient simulators, one room with a baby mannequin, and one room with a pregnant mother mannequin. The simulators are programmed to display actual human functions including breathing, pulse, heart sounds and blood pressure. Additionally, the simulators have the ability to manifest a variety of abnormal conditions, demonstrate effects of different drugs and allow for insertion of tubes or needles.

Holly Stromberg, RN, MSN, CCRN, Nursing Educator at Marian Regional Medical Center and RN Faculty Member at Allan Hancock College, explains, “Perfect practice makes

As a teaching hospital, it is crucial that Marian Regional Medical Center provides nursing students, residents, clinical staff and physicians with advanced medical education to keep up with groundbreaking treatments and technologies.

The supporters of the Professional Education Simulation Laboratory (Sim Lab) recognize its potential impact as the

perfect. This ideal, hands-on training environment allows students and professionals to learn from mistakes and develop skills in a safe environment. The Sim Lab epitomizes collaborative education through bedside decision making and real emergency scenarios that allow the novice to learn and the experienced clinician to further develop necessary skills and competencies.”

knowledge gained by this hands-on training facility will improve clinical skills and critical thinking – one of the most difficult skills to cultivate in the classroom setting. Marian is so very grateful for the community’s support in launching of the Sim Lab which is helping to fund staff training needs and the procurement of equipment.

As a community partner in medical education, Allan Hancock College will also utilize the Professional Education Simulation Laboratory (Sim Lab) for nursing and allied health students training. To jumpstart the program, Allan Hancock College contributed an in-kind gift to the Sim Lab – one of the facilities two adult simulator mannequins valued at $68,000.

Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation

Marian Regional Medical Center is grateful to recently be awarded a $50,000 Challenge Grant from the Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation for the Sim Lab. The Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation is a private family foundation whose mission is to improve the quality of life through philanthropy in the communities where California pioneer Henry Mayo Newhall lived or had business interests – the Santa Maria Valley, San Francisco, the central California coast and the Santa Clarita Valley. Similar to the Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation, Marian’s mission is to improve the quality of life in the Santa Maria Valley through access to high-quality, affordable health care services.

Edwin & Jeanne Woods Family Foundation

For decades, Edwin and Jeanne Woods supported organizations serving the public and believed in giving back to the community where they had raised their family and where they spent their professional lives. Although both Edwin and Jeanne have passed, their children are continuing the legacy of the Woods Family Foundation and recently gifted a $25,000 grant in support of the Sim Lab.

Francine Woods, President of the Edwin & Jeanne Woods Family Foundation shares, “Our parents had a strong commitment to citizens and residents of the area to meet the changing needs of the community. The Sim Lab is an incredible education opportunity and we have trust that this program will be very positive for the health of the Santa Maria community.”

Joan Kosko

Joan Kosko lives in Cleveland, Ohio and although she lives more than 2,400 miles away from Marian Regional Medical Center, her daughter Mary Oates, M.D., and son-in-law David Oates, M.D., keep her close to Marian.

For years, Joan has remained impressed by the many advances that take place at Marian. From Marian’s Cogeneration Plant, established in 2008 to capture methane gas and recycle it into clean energy, to the recent development of the Marian Family Medicine Residency Program, Joan continues to be captivated by new developments and services offered at Marian.

When the opportunity was presented for Joan to donate appreciated stock to a charitable organization, Joan knew just what institution she wanted to designate – Marian Regional Medical Center in support of the hospital’s new Family Medicine Residency Program.

“Marian isn’t just a hospital that asks for donations, it is a hospital that does innovative things with its donations,” states Joan.

With a gift of stock Joan was able to make a sizeable gift to Marian, an organization she believes in, while also receiving a substantial charitable tax deduction without having to pay capital gains.

“Gifting stock is easy and has many incentives, but more importantly I decided to give because I know this donation will go a long way at Marian,” expresses Joan. “Investing in our physicians is crucial and it’s a privilege to be able to support the training of the brightest minds in medicine.”

Marian Regional Medical Center’s volunteers are the lifeline of the hospital. The power of their touch, smile and small acts of kindness have the potential to make a dramatically positive difference in the lives of both patients and staff alike.

Marian’s volunteer force has nearly doubled since the new hospital opened in 2012 and has reached an all-time high with more than 460 volunteers. With a diversity of volunteers from teenagers to retirees, Marian is privileged to be supported by volunteers of varying skill sets and special talents.

Each and every one of the medical center’s volunteers assumes an important role and is relied upon to ensure the hospital operates effectively. A crucial subset of Marian’s volunteer team is made up of high school student volunteers, known as Volunteens. For the past 15 years, Marian’s Volunteen Program has helped shape the academic paths and professional futures of the Central Coast’s brightest students, providing them with a real glimpse into the health care profession.

A NEW ERA OF VOLUNTEER SERVICES

CEO BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE

Marian Regional Medical Center’s CEO Business Roundtable brings Central Coast leaders together to build and expand relationships with community business partners. In an effort to uphold Marian’s responsibility as a responsive community health care partner, the goal of the platform is to share Marian’s new and emerging clinical services while also learning about local business leaders’ needs.

In May of this year, Marian hosted the second CEO Business Roundtable focused on the importance of Marian Family Medicine Residency Program. Following the presentation and open forum discussion, event attendees toured the Family Medicine Center – the teaching site for the Family Medicine Residency Program.

SISTER REG INE DONNERInspiring the next generation of health care professionals

Many give generously of their resources. Many give compassionately with their time. But very few dedicate their entire lives to the wellbeing of others.

Marian Regional Medical Center is blessed to have an educator like Sister Regine Donner, DMJ, who has invested decades in the local youth of Santa Maria and beyond. Sister Regine is known at Marian for her role as the coordinator of the medical center’s Volunteen Program – a program whose success would not be possible without her leadership.

Marian’s longstanding Volunteen Program exposes students to the medical center’s many professions, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the delivery of care and for countless participants this program has motivated or reaffirmed their interest in pursuing a career in health care.

In 1998, Sister Regine began her career as the Volunteen Program Coordinator after grieving the tragic loss of her dear friend, Sister Shelia Tellis. Sister Regine remained by her fellow Sister’s side throughout the course of Sister Shelia’s breast cancer treatment. Following Sister Sheila’s passing, Sister Regine was devastated and it was Sister Janet Corcoran, OSF, Former Vice President of Mission Services, who encouraged Sister Regine to pursue the Volunteer Coordinator position at Marian.

“Throughout her lifetime, Sister Shelia was an accomplished educator and she would be so pleased to see teenagers guided by the Volunteen Program,” reflects Sister Regine. “The program’s students may be rivals coming from different schools, but when they become Volunteens they become part of one united team.”

Since her start at Marian, Sister Regine has mentored thousands of local students, shaping them into both young adults and professionals. Through Sister Regine’s guidance and the program’s diverse offerings, students learn the value of responsibility through being punctual, maintaining professionalism and the importance of a smile.

Sister Regine often comments on the program’s many “success stories” of Volunteens who have pursued a career in health care. Once such success story is Mary Welch, D.O. Dr. Welch was a Volunteen from the program’s inaugural class of 1998 and recently joined the Marian medical staff as an Emergency Department physician.

“The Volunteen Program is inspiring the next generation of health care professionals,” adds Sister Regine. “There’s a lot to be said about teenagers and I continue to be moved by these young students’ unwavering focus on the future and their inherent desire to help others.”

Sister Regine Donner, DMJ, smiles with former Marian Regional Medical Center volunteen Mary Welch, D.O., who is now a physician in Marian’s Emergency Department.
