THANK YOU FOR Your Support“Thank You!” Through the generosity of over 1,200 individual and corporate donors, Memorial Healthcare Foundation has continued its Legacy of Caring for people throughout the Shiawassee region.

In 2016, donors contributed over $1,400,000 to Memorial Healthcare Foundation. Contributions to the 2016 Legacy of Caring Annual Appeal were used earlier this year to purchase a state-of-the-art MRI-Compatible Transport Ventilator to enable critically ill patients on ventilator support to receive MRI diagnostic services without risky transport to another facility.

“Patients on ventilator support are among our most critically ill. Providing MRI services without disruption or transport makes all the difference in their care and outcomes. Many thanks to our donors for bringing this new service to our community.”

— Doug Rowden, Supervisor of Respiratory Services

npatient medical services have long been recognized as a strength of our community hospital. The Hospitalists and Nursing staff, with support of other primary care and specialists on the Medical

Staff, provide great care with top notch results.

This past year has seen multiple advancements on the 2 North inpatient medical unit. The Critical Care Unit was moved to 2 North and now operates with a higher level of care as an Intensive Care Unit with a medical director available 24 hours a day. A Progressive Care Unit is available for patients with intermediate needs, and standard inpatient care continues at a high level. This innovative solution provides each patient with the level of medical and nursing care suited to their needs.

To improve patient care and safety, an investment in new cardiac monitors for the Progressive Care Unit is planned. The monitors will allow patients to be out of bed, walk, and use the restroom with continuous cardiac monitoring. This will also permit the patient to be transported for testing and services outside the unit without interruption in cardiac monitoring.

Your gift to our Cardiopulmonary Fund will greatly improve the quality of care provided for community members who are seriously ill.

STATE-OF-THE-ART Progressive Care Unit Cardiac Monitors

The purpose of upgrading the current cardiac monitors is to improve patient care and safety. The current monitoring units are wall mounted and they do not permit a patient to ambulate because they are not portable. If a patient needs to use the bathroom or walk as part of their recovery, the patient must be disconnected from the wall mount system by staff. When this occurs, nursing staff cannot monitor the patient’s cardiac status due to the disconnection which could compromise patient’s care and safety. Cardiac events such as sinus arrest, sinus pauses, syncope (passing out), or any other symptomatic event that could be captured in advance by cardiac monitoring can happen during ambulation. A patient would also be able to attend testing or health screening off the unit such as CT scan, radiology, or nuclear medicine and maintain continuous cardiac monitoring by an RN. An additional benefit to this upgrade would be patient satisfaction. A patient will be able to increase their mobility and ambulation with the portable monitor upgrade. Increasing ambulation and mobility is a patient satisfier and helps to reduce the risk of blood clots.
