James J. Hurley bequeathed to the City of Flint, the acreage of real estate on Begole Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, the site where the current medical center stands, along with what amounted to $55,000 “for the purpose of establishing and building on said land, a free hospital to be non-sectarian…said hospital is to be called Hurley’s Hospital.” 118 years later, James J. Hurley’s vision of a hospital that would be available to every citizen of Flint remains strong.

JULY CULTURAL OBSERVANCES
The Evolution of Hurley Medical Center and Emergency Response
Located in the FUN Gallery Exhibition Hall
Exhibit entry included with Museum General Admission
From Crisis to Care is a community exhibition showcasing the evolution of Hurley Medical Center from one small institution serving Flint to its current status as a Level 1 Trauma Center with an international footprint. It also showcases the evolution of emergency response into the system we have now, from your first call to 911 to what happens in the emergency room and general treatment floors.
The exhibit was a year-long, collaborative project between Sloan Museum curatorial staff, Exhibit team members, and staff from Hurley Medical Center - who generously provided artifacts and directed the story. Also partnering on the exhibit is Patriot Ambulance Service, which provided a real ambulance that gives visitors a feel for what emergency care looks like.

HURLEY COMPREHENSIVE WEIGHT LOSS CENTER
BRITTNI'S SUCCESS STORY
In January 2023, I began my weight loss journey with the Hurley Comprehensive Weight Loss Center. I had tried everything I could up until that point to lose weight including fad diets, at-home weight loss programs, weight loss programs through doctor’s offices, and medication. However, despite my attempts, I remained at my highest weight and felt very discouraged.
“This year I turn 30 years old and I am planning a bucket list trip without concern for airplane seats or amusement parks.”
In May 2023, I underwent the gastric bypass surgery. I have lost 200 pounds from my highest weight. I never imagined being able to accomplish this type of weight loss and the changes that have occurred in my everyday life since then have been drastic. I am able to be more active without concern for becoming out of breath quickly, or holding others back. This year I turn 30 years old and I am planning a bucket list trip without concern for airplane seats or amusement parks.
From the moment I walked into Hurley, I have felt nothing but comfortable and supported. The staff’s willingness and ability to sit with patients and not just tell them what they have to do but teach them how to make necessary life changes makes the process seem less daunting.
I cannot say thank you to the Hurley Comprehensive Weight Loss Center enough!

NUTRITION SERVICES
Article provided by Mark Moebus, Director of Nutrition Services
The Nutrition Services department works hard to serve meals to the over 1,000 employees working and over 250 patients each day of the week. We balance all of the different diet requests for patients to prepare and serve each one as quickly as possible. We deliver over 500 patient meals a day and have 800 to 1,000 customer transactions each day in the cafe. Our staff works hard to serve each person in the cafe as quickly as possible, as we understand that the other hard working Hurley employees have a limited time for their meal periods. It does get hectic at times, but we feel that for the most part, we take care of our customers. There is so much more behind the scenes that are not seen by the rest of the hospital. From our amazing tray line staff - cooks and host/hostesswho are preparing, setting up and delivering the trays, to our porters who work to make sure that the dishes and pots and pans are clean and ready to be used, to our porters who are responsible for putting away the huge food orders, to those delivering the tube feeding and floor stock. There is much more to our department than most people see and may not realize. I really appreciate how much our staff does for the entire hospital.
Also, for those who don’t know and to pass on to patients and families, the patient menu is available to view from the QR code that is posted in each patient room. This makes it easier for families to view the menu and order for or assist their loved ones if they choose to. Employees can also access the daily cafeteria menu on the Hurley Intranet.
“I am very proud to be part of Nutritional Services. We have a very hard working group of people that do a lot for the hospital. It is much more than people see or know. We touch almost every person who comes into the hospital. We take a lot of pride in our work and strive to give each person the best experience possible.
I feel the Nutrition Services team is a great asset to Hurley and play an important role in making a visit to Hurley positive and wonderful.
Thank you to this awesome group who are a pleasure to work with.”

DELIVERING SMILES”
WAREHOUSE—Shipping, Receiving
Michael Henry, Warehouse Delivery Clerk, is not just bringing packages but is also “delivering smiles.” Implementation of Oracle requires a photo to verify receipt of the item delivered. Michael, as well as package recipients, are taking the opportunity to exchange smiles. “I come with a delivery and folks start smiling, they make me smile. The reception that I receive when I walk into these areas, warms my heart. This just happened. I work hard to follow the process while at the same time trying to do my part by being a part of the team.” Michael went on to explain that there are some who take deliveries seriously and enjoy having their photo taken with their packages. There are those who even recommend posting the photos somewhere. Others expressed an interest in the possibility of starting a competition of who is taking the best photos. Michael shared that he did not want to name a specific area, but the Cath Lab has been very receptive to the process, actually embracing it. Michael’s photos demonstrate that smiles can be delivered.
Thanking the entire Warehouse Team!

PATIENT ACCESS
What is Patient Access?
The Patient Access department is an integral part of the medical center that reports through our Financial/ Revenue Cycle leadership team. It consists of about 40 employees who are dedicated to serving our patients and our Hurley teams in the areas of Registration and Authorizations. This entails managing patient registrations, insurance verifications, and insurance authorizations for our inhouse patients as well as upcoming appointments, procedures, and surgeries. In addition, they coordinate many patient movement tasks to allow for a smooth and timely experience for our patients and throughput.
The Patient Access training team provides a comprehensive Registration training for all of our new hires and for all outpatient departments’ new hires throughout the enterprise.
The successful completion of our Patient Access processes ensures that accurate information is obtained at the point of registration to allow for services provided to get billed and paid in a timely manner and without penalties or delays. This positively affects our overall cash flow and revenue cycle processes.
Inaccurate completion of the Patient Access processes can cause a major financial burden, such as delays in getting claims out to the payers and errors in billed claims that can route back to the billing staff for rework efforts. In addition, many services get denied if billed with incomplete or incorrect information. This forces the billing staff to allocate time to work denials, rebill, credit balances, refunds and reconcile incorrect reimbursement. Accurate and timely registrations and authorizations not only affect our reimbursement but also ensure that patients receive timely and appropriate medical care and discharge placement. This can improve patient outcomes, increase patient satisfaction and reduce healthcare costs.

Who are the Patient Access Teams?
Registration Clerks team focuses on completing patient registration workflows for our Emergency Department patients, direct admissions, and prescheduled appointments & procedures throughout the medical center.
Insurance Service Specialists (ISS) team focuses on completing registration workflows for our Auto/ Workers Comp Emergency Department patients, insurance notifications and authorizations, and other advanced registration tasks (e.g. patient estimates, MACP, etc.)
Central Scheduling Specialists team focuses on appointment scheduling, registration, and authorization/referral tasks for many of our outpatient clinics (including our surgery clinics). This team handles about 1,800 calls on an average each month including patient calls, insurance company calls, and internal Hurley team calls.
Authorization Specialists team focuses on reviewing all scheduled procedures and surgeries to ensure that prior authorization was submitted by the requesting provider. They are our gate-keepers and help us coordinate communication with external and internal offices to ensure that all upcoming procedures and surgeries are authorized prior to the procedure/ surgery date.
Utilization Review Coordinators/Assistant team focuses on obtaining prior authorizations for hospital stays, submitting clinical reviews to payers, and performing insurance appeals. This team uses their clinical expertise to help us organize and justify the medical necessity of services provided to ensure that we get paid.
Patient Access Initiatives
In an effort to support the medical center’s vision, our Patient Access leadership team is committed to working on continuous optimization and innovative projects and initiatives. Many of the initiatives involve a more expanded use of technology and Epic to help provide a positive patient experience, better enterprise wide support, and enhanced revenue opportunities (e.g. MyChart usage, Epic Hello World patient texting, real-time Google Chat Rooms with clinical areas, and patient registration escalations via Epic to name a few). Any and all initiatives would not be possible without the contributions of the entire Patient Access team.
The Patient Access team is in the process of publishing and sharing their newly created Google Site at sites.google.com/hurleymc.com/ patientaccess. More information is expected to be added to this site, including an Insurance Authorization page which should contain helpful and relevant information for many departments.

for extraordinary nurses
Roger Grimes, RN, is this month’s recipient of the DAISY Award, which honors nurses for their exceptional compassion towards patients and families. Recognized for his unwavering dedication and professionalism, Roger’s nomination speaks volumes to his compassion, “Unfortunately, I came into the ER for difficulty breathing and that turned into me getting a chest tube. The first chest tube was not any good and then another tube needed to be put in. Roger went above and beyond. He advocated for pain medication and simply held my hand during the procedure. I am actually hoping I did not injure his hand! I squeezed so hard but the awake chest tube was more painful than I was expecting. Roger showed compassion and empathy and truly listened to how I was feeling. The simple thing of holding my hand during the procedure goes such a long way and Roger was there and in it with me.
I felt so much support from Roger that I would like to thank him. I appreciate your service and kindness during my stay.”
It is fortunate that Roger chose to be a nurse, as his journey to nursing school was not immediately after completing high school. He initially attended University of Utah achieving a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. His intent was to go to law school. Marriage and parenting, however, changed his plans and Roger found himself in the service industry working as a restaurant manager. It was then he decided to pursue nursing, attending Oakland Community College. He did his clinicals in Detroit but being from Genesee County, he remembered Hurley. “Growing up in this area, this was the hospital where I wanted to be. I found my passion for the emergency department during my clinicals. Hurley had the best emergency department I could think of, which is why I wanted to come here,” Roger noted.
Roger has now been here three years and is grateful for making the decision to pursue his career in nursing. Each day he arrives and obtains his patient assignments. He checks on his patients and then facilitates the goals and tasks of the ER nurse. This includes assessing and caring for the patient until the end of his shift. “The emergency department can have a concentration of severe patients, multiple diseases and heavy rescue tasks where we often work in a high state of tension or
ROGER GRIMES, RN
stress. This week we have seen a huge increase in census. It can be difficult staying focused in this high-stress, intense environment, but I am fortunate, as the team I work with is truly amazing. They are super to work with. I appreciate that people who start working here stay here. Whoever leaves; they try to find a way to come back in a couple years,” Roger noted.
Roger when asked about the Daisy Award noted he was very surprised. He shared that he actually did not know that he had been nominated. He was pulled into a room and told he had received the award. He smiled, saying “the team tricked me, which was kind of fun.” He shared the news with his family, his wife and two daughters, one with a 13th birthday in a couple days, and the other 11, who were very proud. His wife’s family is from England and when he told the news to them, they acknowledged that they were aware of the Daisy Award. It appears that it is not just celebrated here in the US but internationally. Roger noted that he had heard about the award but was truly not aware of all the different aspects revolving around it. Understanding them, drove home the significance.
Despite a busy work and home life, Roger finds time to participate in duck hunting. He even shared that he hunts with several guys from the ER. Roger enjoys duck hunting and has September till January to do so. When asked, yes, he does have a duck boat. His wife and younger daughter do not hunt, but his oldest daughter does hunt with him. Roger expressed his appreciation to his team and his family for always being supportive.
Have you witnessed an extraordinary registered nurse in action? Nominate an exceptional RN for the DAISY Award. Nomination forms are available in the Cafeteria, 8W Nursing Office and on the Hurley intranet.

The observance of Men’s Health Month began nationally in 1994 as an awareness campaign for early detection and treatment of health conditions in men. More men die of cancer, diabetes, suicide, accidental injury, motor vehicle accidents, and COVID-19 than women. They live an average of six years less than women, sparking a big need for education and prevention awareness.
At Hurley, we participate in the Men’s Health Month campaign by encouraging our employees, patients, and visitors to focus on health problems they have as well as the ones they are at risk for. Male-specific health concerns are testicular and prostate cancer, higher rates of colon cancer, HIV, and cardiovascular diseases. Finding a primary care physician, getting annual physical examinations, and staying up-todate on all vaccinations are all pertinent prevention activities. Having scheduled routine screenings, like the ones listed, allows for early detection and better treatment options.
By Katie Olson, Hurley Wellness Intern
The purpose of Men’s Health Month is to encourage conversation on preventable health conditions in men as well as reduce the stigma on men’s mental health.
Men’s mental health
should be as commonly discussed as physical health. Men experience depression, anxiety, burnout, and self-harm/suicide. Hurley is an advocate for mental health and encourages all men to seek appropriate resources. Staff always have EAP services available to them if needed. Additionally, choosing behaviors such as eating healthfully, exercising, injury prevention, and controlling stress can all yield positive health benefits in men. Protect yourself by playing an active role in your health!
