FRYE REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER: Celebrating a Mission of Mercy and Healing

By Kristie Darling

O

ur most venerable institutions—universities, churches, libraries, hospitals—become characters in their own right when their histories are written. Their founders, like authors, have foreseen a future that includes thousands of players whose lives both influence the organization’s story and are touched by its mission. We see them at work, dedicated to their task, in the black and white photographs that illustrate the chapters in the institution’s story. Frye Regional Medical Center’s past reads like a historical novel, its chapters richly describing the hospital’s longstanding mission of mercy and healing.

HICKORY HICKORYLIVING LIVING••OCTOBER OCTOBER2010 2010

CELEBRATING OUR FIRST 100 YEARS At its 100th anniversary, Frye Regional Medical Center is celebrating the many stories of devotion and care that established its strong healthcare values and its belief that physicians, working within a supportive, exceptional environment and provided with quality equipment and sound guidance, can offer their community exceptional care.

munity input, community partners and community pride, Hickory and Catawba County will have an opportunity to share in the telling of Frye Regional’s intriguing narrative. An inaugural reception on December 16th will kick-off a year of commemorative events, exhibits and the introduction of Michael Barrick’s history, Exceptional Care, a Century Strong, all highlighting Frye’s colorful past.

The 100th anniversary celebration, Exceptional Care, a Century Strong, and the book of the same name detailing Frye’s long history, will bring many stories to life. Through an intensive research project that includes com-

COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY Today, Frye Regional Medical Center is an award winning, acute care facility with over 1,500 employees, 350 physicians on staff and 355 beds.

Annually, close to 38,000 emergency room patients are served and 13,500 patients admitted. Frye Regional Medical Center’s main campus in downtown Hickory includes a comprehensive heart center, accredited cancer center, bariatric (weight loss) surgery program, orthopedics, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation and therapy services, neurosciences, and women’s and children’s services with a level III nursery, a neonatal transport team and pediatrics.

In addition, located throughout the Catawba County region, are FryeCare Outpatient Imaging Center, FryeCare Pulmonology, Infusion Care, Vein and Wound Center, Piedmont Therapy (sports and industrial rehabilitation), the Frye Wellness and Education Center, Tate Surgery Center, Unifour Pain Treatment Center and two urgent care facilities—FryeCare Urgent Care in Conover and Hudson. The hospital’s website, www.fryemedctr.com, details all the services offered.

Frye Regional Medical Center’s cardiology services were rated Best in the Charlotte Region in 2009 by HealthGrades, a leading health care ratings organization. The hospital received the Patient Safety Excellence Award, placing it among the top 5% in safety in 2010, and was recently recognized

by J.D. Power and Associates as a Distinguished Hospital for Outstanding Inpatient Experience.

100 YEARS OF LEADERSHIP Overseeing these extensive healthcare services is Michael Blackburn, Frye Regional Medical Center’s CEO. Serving the hospital for the past two years, Blackburn’s love of history, and interest in the hospital’s legacy in particular, helped spark development of the 100th anniversary celebration. “I like history.

My thought was there are not many hospitals that have a 100 year history, and I found that many people weren’t aware of this rich past,” Blackburn shared. “I spoke with our Board of Directors and Emeritus Board, and we decided we needed to do something at this 100 year mark.” Blackburn en-

listed the services of Michael Barrick, emergency preparedness coordinator at Frye, who holds degrees in History and English Literature, along with experience in journalism, to begin researching the past 100 years. Barrick brought Heather Deckelnick, former site manager at the Hickory History Center, into the project to serve as consultant, researcher and curator of Frye’s 100th Anniversary History Project. “Heather is the most qualified person in Hickory to bring this museum exhibit to life,” Barrick says. “The display will include a timeline of the hospital’s history and a reproduction of a doctor’s office from the early years. We have an examination bed and doctor’s stool, a screen that was used in the hospital, a number of medical artifacts and many photographs.”

Michael Barrick and Heather Deckelnick have spent the last 15 months uncovering a history that begins more than a century ago. In 1871, Civil War surgeon, Dr. Richard Beverly Baker, began his medical practice in Hickory. His protégé, Dr. Jacob Harrison Shuford, built the Richard Baker Hospital in 1911, naming it in honor of his mentor. Dr. Glenn Raymer Frye, who had worked alongside Dr. Shuford for more than a decade, became the hospital’s owner in 1934. Dr. Frye practiced medicine in Hickory for more than 50 years, until his death in 1973.

HICKORY HICKORYLIVING LIVING••OCTOBER OCTOBER2010 2010

OUR HERITAGE, OUR LESSONS “The purpose of writing this book is to let our founders and ancestors teach us lessons,” Barrick shared. “Together our three founders served this community for over 100 years as physicians. They each came through their own trials, but never lost sight of what was important to them. Dr. Frye’s philosophy, as a physician and hospital administrator, was ‘good people beget good people.’

He had very high expectations of his doctors and high standards for the medical care they provided.” Barrick feels strongly that the value of telling Fyre Regional Medical Center’s 100 year-old story is what it can teach us today, even as our current healthcare industry is in the midst of its own transitions and challenges.

Exceptional Care, a Century Strong, the book and the celebration, come together with the help of many community partners. Harper House/Hickory History Center, at 310 North Center Street just south of Frye Regional, will host a museum exhibit to showcase objects and photographs that depict the hospital’s growth and achievements over the years. Through research and community participation, the photographs, archival material and artifacts that have been collected will take visitors back in time to before Richard Baker Hospital was built. Other community partners include the Catawba County Historical

Association, the Patrick Beaver Memorial Library, the Rhodes Reading Room at the Newton branch of the Catawba County Library System, and the Hickory Landmarks Society.

Several kick-off events for the Frye and Shuford families, the hospital’s board of directors, its staff, volunteers, and the public will be held in mid-December and continue throughout 2011. A birthday party for all those who were born at Richard Baker Hospital or Frye Regional Medical Center is planned, along with other special events at the hospital and in the community.

YOUR MEMORIES ARE REQUESTED Hickory and Catawba County families have been asked to share personal memories and stories for inclusion in the 100th anniversary exhibits. Former patients and all who worked or volunteered at the hospital are encouraged to contact Heather Deckelnick (heather@ fryeregionalhistory.com) to share stories, memorabilia, artifacts, newspaper clippings and old photographs that date from 1911, when the hospital was first founded as Richard Baker Hospital, or any time since. These pieces of history will help remind us of the strong commitment and dedication of Frye’s physician founders and the doctors, nurses, aides, volunteers and staff who worked together with them. In the tradition of handing down knowledge, instilling compassion and devotion to quality healthcare and service, sharing this proud history with the community is a natural component of Frye Regional Medical Center’s offerings. This heritage informs Frye Regional Medical Center’s mission statement today: We are dedicated to recognizing employees as our greatest asset, customer satisfaction as our greatest commitment, and quality care as our greatest accomplishment. “It’s the people who make the difference,” Barrick explained. “It’s up to us, the people who work here now, to maintain that heritage. We, too, can be exceptional.”

3. PRETTIER SMILE • More youthful appearance • Improved self confidence

My smile was crooked but not too bad; however, I was experiencing significant pain from TMD (Temporo-Mandibular Joint Disorder).

When I saw Dr. Garlitz my main concern was comfort and long term health of my teeth and jaw structures. He was very sensitive and knowledgeable when diagnosing and correcting my bite problems.

The SureSmile method of orthodontic treatment was very successful for me. I am now pain free and have a great smile.

I am pleased that my son, Randall’s teeth will be straightened and his bite corrected at an early age.

New technology has made wearing braces a lot easier.

The Shrimp Boil will feature great food, music, and top business and community leaders. Our local, state and national elected officials will be our guests. The community at large is also invited to this extraordinary affair. It will be held at a private hanger at the Hickory Airport off 2nd Ave. N.W. The networking reception starts at 5:00 and the Shrimp Boil begins at 6:00 P.M. The cost is $25 for Chamber members and $35 for non-members. RSVP required to 828 328-6000 Ext 228.

“The Collaborative Labs at St. Petersburg College” Thanks to the foresight and vision of Dr. Garrett Hinshaw, President of CVCC, who discovered a one of a kind Collaborative Lab at St. Petersburg College in Florida that is doing extraordinary things for businesses, government, military, non-profits, community organizations, educators, etc. all across the country and even internationally.

They have served over 20,000 stakeholders in 500 engagements over the past 5 years since the Labs launched in October of 2005. 93% of their business comes from repeat and referral clients.

The Collaborative Labs help acceler-

ate business results in an innovative environment that stimulates organizations to achieve business breakthroughs in about a day. That’s right, you can do either a strategic and tactical plan; process redesign; branding/marketing, project kick-off; focus groups/issues forums all in an 8 hour period. As they put it, “go from square one to square done in about a day.”

We visited the Lab two weeks ago and saw for ourselves how their innovative meeting space, comprehensive facilitation services and business coaching and virtual-team implementation services could help Catawba County. Dr Hinshaw not only sees this as an opportunity to partner and possibly become a satellite campus for the St Petersburg College Collaborative Labs here, but to bring this process and their staff to Catawba County for a one day economic development/jobs strategic planning session later this year.

For those of you that might remember the Foresight Plan that took two years of community meetings to come up with a county-wide strategic plan, the Collaborative Labs staff will bring to Catawba County their tablet PCs & collaborative groupware; full facilitation services, 65 inch plasmas; business illustrations; video conferencing, documentation in real time; electronic whiteboards; voting technology and mobile collaborative labs and complete the process in one day. Two years versus one day…they’ve successfully done

it 500 times already, so now you can see the excitement we have about this potential partnership and what it might do for our community’s immediate need for jobs and economic stability.

The next business day following our fall session, we will receive a real-time record of the entire engagement, complete with digital images, transcribed charts and voting results. As Dan Mahurin, Vision 21 Chair, Tampa Bay Partnership Foundation put it, “in this unique setting, we were able to bring together, for the first time, a diverse group of top-notch folks–our core steering group for the Tampa Bay Vision 21 Regional Visioning process. We succeeded in forging effective working relationships and in beginning to outline some of the bold steps that will add to our economic strength and a better quality of life in Tampa Bay over the next 50 years, all in one day.”
