Sisters’ mission of Christian

healing by reaching out to

serve those in need.

2014 Community Benefit Report 1

In 2014, St. Dominic’s celebrated 40 years of excellence in providing cardiac and vascular services to the community through the Mississippi Heart and Vascular Institute. Due to the dedication of the Institute’s physicians and staff, St. Dominic’s is one of the leading providers of cardiac, vascular and venous services in Central Mississippi.

Because Mississippi leads the nation in heart-disease related deaths, cardiovascular services and education are very important in building a healthier community. As you will see in the stories presented in this 2014 edition of St. Dominic Health Services Community Benefit Report, we place a special focus on our programs and services related to cardiovascular health in determining our community benefit efforts. All of these efforts would not be possible without the commitment and support of the Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Illinois, board members, physicians, employees, volunteers and other community members.

We hope you find these inspirational stories to be an accurate reflection of the dedication and compassion St. Dominic’s has for creating healthier lives in Mississippi. Our organization will continue to follow the Dominican Sisters’ mission of Christian healing by reaching out to serve those in need.

St. Dominic’s Care-A-Van Provides Health Screenings at the B.B. King Museum in Indianola

2 2014 Community Benefit Report

In addition to offering screenings, Care-A-Van volunteers promote physical fitness and activity. Several of the Dominican Sisters and SDHS volunteers dedicated their time to hand out jump ropes, sidewalk chalk and other items to encourage physical and mental fitness.

The Care-A-Van focuses on screening children and the elderly living near or below the poverty level who do not have access to preventative healthcare resources. Annually, the Care-A-Van program records an estimated 12,000 direct contacts from these underserved groups.

In 2012, St. Dominic Health Services (SDHS) committed to join the B.B. King Museum in Indianola, Mississippi to improve childhood health by providing $70,000 in funding over a four year period for education and health screenings conducted by the St. Dominic’s Care-A-Van.

St. Dominic’s Care-A-Van, a 42-foot mobile screening bus, travels throughout Mississippi conducting both screenings and educational programs for school-aged children and medically-underserved senior citizens in an effort to identify potential health problems before they become more serious.

In 2014, 85 students in the program received blood pressure, vision, hearing, height, weight and BMI screenings. From this effort 60 referrals were given for out-of-range screening results.

St. Dominic Health Services


Since 2008, St. Dominic’s has provided school nurses for elementary and middle schools in the Madison County School district at no cost to the schools. Velma Jackson High School was added to the program in 2014.

The school nurses are available to respond to many medical needs of the students—from a fever to a broken bone. If a child sees the nurse for any reason, the nurse will provide the required first aid or care and then send a note home to inform the child’s parents of the visit.

Nurses can even help monitor students’ chronic illnesses such as diabetes and assist with medication and education of the condition under the direction of a student’s physician.

Madison School Nurse Program Beneficial to Students

Angel Wheatley, R.N., has been a St. Dominic’s school nurse since the program first began and has over 30 years of nursing experience. Angel has helped one elementary school student who was diagnosed with diabetes at age five learn how to manage her condition on her own.

“Nurse Angel really helped me by telling me tips and tricks on how to be healthy,” the student said. “When I first got here, I didn’t know what to do, and I wasn’t that serious about it because I didn’t know what it meant. But now I know everything. I am able to count carbs, regulate my blood sugar, and draw up insulin. She helped me when I didn’t know what to do.”

St. Catherine’s Patient Simulator Used to Refine Skills


St. Catherine’s Village, St. Dominic’s all-inclusive continuing care retirement community, purchased a mannequin designed for scenario-based training as part of its annual skills competency assessments in 2014.

The mannequin, Nursing Anne from Laerdal, is 135 pounds and can be either male or female based on interchangeable body parts. Employees submitted suggestions for naming the mannequin, and the Advanced Care Giver Group decided on the name of “Alex”, a non-gender specific name.

Alex is educationally effective for clinical training targeting key skills from basic patient care to

”Using the mannequin really brought to

light any deficits and allowed us to see

where we needed to focus our education.”

—Theresa Peeler, B.S.N., R.N.-B.C., Director of Nursing

St. Catherine’s Village

advanced nursing necessary for in-hospital patient care. “Any time there is a policy change, we initiate training with the mannequin,” said Theresa Peeler, B.S.N., R.N.-B.C., Director of Nursing at St. Catherine’s Village. “This allows the assistants or nurses a chance to practice before implementing a specific skill on a resident. Using the mannequin really brought to light any deficits and allowed us to see where we needed to focus our education.”

The anatomical parts include removable dentures, eyeballs, breasts, ostomy sites and perineal areas. The legs and arms have sites provided to perform injections and pads can be interchanged into wound sites for assessment. The mannequin also includes veins for venipuncture and placing intravenous catheters. The lungs, stomach, bladder and rectum offer a realistic response for listening with a stethoscope or performing procedures such as catheterization, nasogastric tube placement, enema administration or tracheostomy assessment.



St. Dominic’s began offering the Healthy Lives program to its employees in 2013, with 1,179 employees enrolled by the end of 2014. The program is a comprehensive health and wellness program provided as an additional benefit at no cost for all employees, spouses and dependents over the age of 18 enrolled in the St. Dominic’s health plan.

Employees and dependents enrolled in Healthy Lives undergo yearly health screenings and can earn cash rewards for healthy behavior.

Sherry Cliburn, Executive Assistant, St. Dominic Health Services Corporate Office, is enrolled in the Healthy Lives program. When she went for her annual screening, she said she was shocked at the results. “My glucose was elevated, and my blood pressure was bordering on stroke range,” she said. “I tried reasoning with the staff that I had probably just had more sweets than normal, but they suggested I seek immediate medical attention.”

Sherry made an appointment with a physician and discovered she had diabetes and needed blood pressure medication. “This was a shock, and I felt so overwhelmed,” she said. “I knew I could not afford a special diet program. So I set up an appointment with Louisa Whitmire, Registered Dietitian and Healthy Lives Health Coach, to discuss my condition and how to change my eating pattern. This was a tremendous benefit.”

In addition to changing her diet, Sherry was put on blood pressure and diabetes medicine to improve her condition. By following these changes, Sherry lost 23 pounds and returned her glucose and blood pressure measures to a normal range.

diabetes was caught early enough that

it only required oral medication and

not insulin, and my blood pressure is

controllable with medication.”

Community Health Clinic

The clinic also provides its patients with complete cardiovascular exams. Cardiologist Douglas Harkins, M.D., of Jackson Heart Clinic, P.A., routinely cares for 56 of the clinic’s patients. If extensive tests are required, Dr. Harkins will see the clinic patients in his office, free-of-charge.

“We are so thankful that Dr. Harkins volunteers his time and resources to the clinic,” Sister Trinita said. “He is always so accommodating. I can’t say enough good about him, and the patients love him. He is truly making a difference in the health of this community.”

In addition to these health care services, the clinic provides a variety of educational programs for children, adolescents and adults in an effort to promote disease prevention and safety.

The St. Dominic Community Health Clinic was established in 1996 to provide primary and preventative health care free-of-charge to the medically uninsured, homeless and working poor of the Jackson area.

Under the direction of nurse practitioner Sister Mary Trinita Eddington, O.P., the clinic provides primary health care services, including: routine checkups, treatment of acute illnesses, sports or employment physicals, eye exams by an ophthalmologist, limited chronic care, nutritional counseling and lab testing. The clinic offers scheduling of lab, x-ray or other diagnostic services and referrals for specialty care and social services. Assistance with prescriptions, supplies and equipment is also available.

St. Dominic’s Supports Habitat for Humanity

St. Dominic’s has been a strong supporter of the Habitat for Humanity program since it first came to Jackson almost 30 years ago. St. Dominic’s employees have helped to fund and build more than 15 Habitat homes..

Over the years, 20 St. Dominic’s employees have been Habitat home recipients. This year, St. Dominic’s employee Carolyn Madlock, Food Services Supervisor at the St. Dominic Centre, and her 11-year-old son Jimmy, qualified for a Habitat home.

St. Dominic’s and St. Catherine’s employees provided $26,000 toward the $80,000 cost of the home, and more than 40 volunteers helped Carolyn with construction. Funds were raised through the St. Dominic Health Services Foundation’s comprehensive employee campaign, “Deal or No Deal.”

Carolyn’s home is a product of the 29th annual Catholic Build, Habitat’s longest-running, faith-based Covenant sponsor. Parishes who participated in the 2014 build along with St. Dominic Health Services were Holy Savior in Clinton, St. Joseph in Gluckstadt, St. Francis in Madison, Christ the King, Holy Family, St. Peter Cathedral, St. Richard, St. Mary, and St. Therese. All are located in Jackson.

Jennifer Parker, Administrative Assistant with the St. Dominic Health Services Foundation, decided to go the extra mile to help her friend Carolyn by starting a campaign to have the home fully furnished through Miskelly Furniture’s annual Holiday Furnishing program. Almost 100 friends and employees submitted letters of support. On December 22, 2014, Chip Miskelly and his team arrived with a truckload of furniture for the Madlocks–just in time for Christmas.

St. Dominic’s Donated Fire Alarms to Fire Department

St. Dominic Health Services purchased and donated 50 smoke alarms with carbon dioxide detection to the Jackson Fire Department in 2014 to help raise awareness of the need for fire-safety in the community.

Jackson Firefighters gave the alarms to families who were in need and could not afford the devices.

“This donation has made our vision and goals more attainable this year,” said Malcolm Alexander, Jackson Fire Department Division Chief. “Recent tragic deaths could have been prevented if citizens would have had some type of fire detection device. This donation has improved the safety of our community by increasing the chances of surviving deadly house fires.”

St. Dominic’s New Directions for Over 55, a wellness program designed to meet the unique needs of mature adults, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2013. As part of this celebration, the program kicked off an ongoing campaign in conjunction with St. Dominic Health Services Foundation called “The Compass Fund.” The purpose was to help raise money to fund much-needed projects and services at St. Dominic’s.

The Compass Fund has received 162 gifts in the amount of $10,769 from New Directions for Over 55 members since the campaign began. All funds raised in 2014 will go toward purchasing a telemedicine cart for the hospital’s stroke program.

“The Compass Fund gives our members an opportunity to contribute financially in support of a service at St. Dominic’s,” said Jean Clark, Director of New Directions for Over 55. “In doing so, it provides members a way to give back to the community through a program that has given so much.”

D1 Jackson Hosts NFL Combine Training

The program includes training for strength, speed, agility, skill-specific drills, yoga and a nutrition plan. Athletes are fed three meals a day and perform three workouts per day.

In addition, Capital Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Center, Genesis Physical Therapy and St. Dominic’s Sports Medicine were on hand to provide rehab, therapy and medical assistance if needed. The Club at St. Dominic’s allowed the athletes to use its pool for aquatic workouts, and Sanctuary Body Spa provided massages to athletes.

Fourteen draft eligible former college football players from across the southeast began NFL Combine and Pro Day Training at D1 Jackson on January 6, 2014 to prepare for the NFL Scouting Combine and their respective Pro Days.

D1 Jackson, co-owned in part by St. Dominic’s, Antonio Johnson and Michael Oher, was one of a few D1 Sports Training locations across the nation chosen to host combine training.

“The program helps athletes prepare for

combine testing and ultimately helps them

better their times, distances, and reps.”

St. Dominic’s Partners with Outlets for Shop Pink

In October 2014, St. Dominic Health Services Foundation partnered with the Outlets of Mississippi located in Pearl for a month long fundraiser called “Shop Pink.” Through this fundraiser, $10,000 was raised to benefit the many women’s programs and services at St. Dominic’s.

Over 1,000 “Shop Pink” $10 discount cards were sold that entitled the purchaser to a discount ofup to 25 percent in each of the 30 participating outlet stores. The discount cards were sold by St. Dominic’s and St. Catherine’s Village employees as a community service project.

St. Dominic’s also sponsored a “Shop Pink” Health Fair on October 11, 2014 at the Outlets. The Care-A-Van and approximately 20 St. Dominic’s wellness, screening and outreach program representatives were set up to offer educational information and health screenings to participants.

“An enormous effort was put into Shop Pink,” said Jim Jeter, Executive Director of the St. Dominic Health Services Foundation. “This was a typical St. Dominic’s effort – all hands on deck and pulling together to make a campaign successful.”

St. Dominic’s Celebrates Heart Month and MississippiHeart and Vascular Institute’s 40th Anniversary


In 2014, the employees and physicians of St. Dominic’s Mississippi Heart and Vascular Institute (MHVI) celebrated 40 years of working to protect hearts of Mississippians by focusing on heart disease treatment, prevention and awareness in the community.

As part of the ongoing fight against heart disease, St. Dominic’s participated in American Heart Month by holding educational events throughout the month of February. The month-long observance, which began in 1963, urges people to recognize the nationwide problem of cardiovascular disease and the importance of treatment, prevention and research.

St. Dominic’s also held events throughout the year honoring employees and physicians of MHVI in honor of their 40th anniversary.

The first event, held on January 29, recognized Dr. Henry Tyler and his team for performing the first open heart surgery at St. Dominic’s in January of 1974. The physicians who officially began the institute with Dr. Tyler later that same year were also honored. Those physicians, as stated on the original articles of incorporation, were Dr. William Rosenblatt, Dr. James C. Hays, Sr., Dr. James L. Crosthwait, Dr. Quinton H. Dickerson, Dr. Henry B. Tyler and Dr. William Arthur Jones.

The year-long celebration culminated with a gala event held at the Jackson Country Club on October 30. Administrators, physicians who help continue in making the institute a success and the founding physicians of MHVI celebrated their successes by revisiting old memories and sharing a vision of the future.

This year’s annual Drive to Inspire campaign featured a pink Honda Pilot driven around the metro area to spread awareness about breast health and the importance of early detection and mammograms. Throughout the entire month of October, the pink car traveled to various locations, and community members were encouraged to sign the car in support of breast cancer awareness.

On September 30, 2014, a women’s health event called “Be Inspired” was held at Highland Village Shopping Center. The event featured representatives from various St. Dominic’s departments who

provided educational information and answered questions from attendees on women’s health topics.

gynecology, urogynecology and general health and wellness.

“While this clinic is new to St. Dominic’s, the concept of a multispecialty clinic is not,” said Jennifer Sinclair, Executive Vice President of Operations at St. Dominic’s. “We are bringing together highly skilled physicians from multiple disciplines to address most of the health concerns faced by women in our community.”

During December 2014, St. Dominic’s participated in Operation Walk USA by giving seven deserving patients free total joint replacements. Five patients received knee replacements, and two received hip replacements.

“These life-changing surgeries will restore mobility and provide pain relief for patients who otherwise may not be able to afford treatment,” said Cris Bourn, Neuroscience and Orthopaedic Service Line Administrator.

An estimated 120 patients received free joint replacements from 85 volunteer orthopaedic surgeons through Operation Walk USA 2014. This is the fifth year for Operation Walk USA, which has provided free total joint replacements to nearly 500 patients at a value of $13.2 million.

St. Dominic’s partnered with other healthcare providers to deliver all aspects of care – surgery,

hospitalization, and pre- and post-operative care—at no cost to participating patients who may not qualify for government assistance, have insurance or cannot afford surgery on their own.

“Capital Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Center, St. Dominic’s, Physician Anesthesia Group, Lakeland Radiology, St. Dominic’s Medical Group, Sta-Home Health and joint implant companies including Depuy, TJO and Zimmer, all worked together so this mission was successful,” said orthopedist, Jeff Kennedy, M.D.

Blue Distinction Center for Cardiac Care

St. Dominic’s was selected by Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi as a Blue Distinction Center of Excellence for Cardiac Care in 2014.

Centers of Excellence are Blue Cross network providers that specialize in certain illnesses and treatments. The Blue Distinction Centers of Excellence program recognizes those network hospitals and their physicians that demonstrate high levels of performance delivering quality specialty care to their patients safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

The Blue Cross program has two levels of distinction. St. Dominic’s achieved the Center+ distinction, which means it not only met the overall quality measures for patient safety and outcomes required to become a Blue Distinction Center, but also met cost measures addressing consumers’ need for affordable health care.

Hospital Volunteers Making an Impact


St. Dominic’s volunteers are made up of men and women of varied ages and backgrounds who provide valuable services to staff, patients and visitors on a daily basis.

“We currently have 250 volunteers who work at the information desks, waiting rooms, daycare, medical library and most floors of the hospital,” said Chelsea Wells, St. Dominic’s Volunteer Coordinator. “In 2014, our volunteers worked over 35,000 hours combined.”

The volunteer program even allows students ages 16 and up to volunteer their time at the hospital. While volunteers are giving their time and talents to help St. Dominic’s fulfill its mission, many student volunteers are also getting the experience they need for future career paths in healthcare.

Jessica Fuller, 21, a University of Southern Mississippi senior, has been volunteering at St. Dominic’s since April 2014. “I needed experience working in the medical field because I plan on going to medical school,” she said. “It has been a great experience learning the ins and outs of a hospital.”

Meagan Martin, 17, a senior at Florence High School, said she initially began volunteering at St. Dominic’s because it was required for school and because she hopes to one day become a cardiologist.

“I started volunteering because of school, but I continued even after I had fulfilled my requirements because I loved it so much,” she said. “I enjoy making relationships with so many different kinds of people that I meet on a daily basis at the hospital.”

Community Benefit Report


In 2014 St. Dominic’s continued its focus on fulfilling community needs in areas identified in the 2013-2015 Community Health Needs Assessment. The overarching goal of the assessment was to respond to identified community health needs, improve access and improve health status – especially for the most vulnerable and underserved in our community. It is integral to St. Dominic’s mission to establish community and provide service, setting an example to others in community service.

St. Dominic Hospital’s overall approach to community benefit is to target the intersection of documented unmet community health needs and our organization’s key strengths and mission commitments. Specifically, members of the task force that led the development of the assessment identified priority health issues in St. Dominic’s service area based on its review of demographic information, focus group summaries

and results of a community survey. Those identified pressing issues are:• obesity• heart disease• mental health needs.

St. Dominic’s integrates its commitment to community service into its management and governance structures as well as its strategic and operational plans, and monitors and evaluates progress. In 2014 the strategic plan contained a strategy specifically directed at allocating resources to meet the needs of the community in response to the identified focus areas in the needs assessment. The overarching strategy indicated, “Use the 2012 Community Needs Assessment to ensure the hospital is appropriately allocating resources to meet the needs of our community.” Following are ways in which the strategy was implemented in 2014.

Results

Celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Mississippi Heart and Vascular Institute by holding heart educational events throughout the month of February.

Added Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center in McComb as an additional hospital to the telestroke program (making four hospitals in total).

Increased the number of participants in the Healthy Heart screening program from 480 in 2013 to 908 in 2014.

Hosted a Go Red for Women Premier Party in partnership with the American Heart Association. The event provided a casual Q&A with a panel of experts and registrations increased by over 50 percent compared to 2013. In addition, St. Dominic’s sponsored the main Go Red for Women event. In total, nearly 600 women were instructed on the dangers and signs of heart disease in women.

Continued to support the operations of the Community Health Clinic which provides primary care and a referral access point to services, including mental health, for the medically uninsured, homeless or working poor of Jackson.
