Going green for more green!

Healthy Environment = Healthy Community

Consumers Energy visited the campus to show the money Hurley is saving with its green efforts. Hurley has made strides to recycle 73,983 standard tons of cardboard in the past year. This not only reduced a substantial amount of waste, but is now saving the hospital nearly $6,000 annually.

Hurley has taken many steps to reduce campus energy usage, equal to 7,000 metric tons of CO2 (or the planting of 8,285 acres of trees). We have switched many floors to LED lighting and replaced 90% of pneumatic controls in the East Tower with electronic controls.

8 • HURLEY MEDICAL CENTER

Hurley now has more than 240 temperature control zones measured every minute and reporting performance along with Indoor Air Quality monitoring on all floors and real-time fresh air ventilation response.

In 2023-24, our team plans to replace the North Tower AHU and continue with LED lighting upgrades and the DDC upgrade of the North Tower.

These efforts will continue to focus on both patient comfort and energy savings. We have already seen a reduction of comfort complaints by 80% in the East Patient Tower.

ANDREW LENGYEL, BSN, RN

This month’s DAISY Award Honoree is Andy Lengyel, RN. The DAISY Award celebrates the extraordinary compassion a nurse shows to her patients and their families.

for extraordinary nurses Nursing is actually Andy’s second career.

Before he became a nurse, he built houses. But then his wife went to school to become a nurse, and there was the 2008 housing market crash. Because of his wife’s experience, he saw what was available. He explains, “I was always good with people, and thought nursing would be good for me, too.” His family’s connection to nursing doesn’t stop there, as his daughter Ellery is also a nurse on 9 East and his other daughter, Valerie, currently works as a CNA.

Andy started at Hurley eight years ago with a three month stint in the Emergency Department. Since then, he has worked on the 9 East Medical/ Surgical Oncology Unit. 9 East is home to a very vulnerable patient population, so nurses there have an equally high The nomination took him by surprise, level of responsibility to their patients. as he normally works three twelve hour Andy explains his responsibilities simply, shifts a week, and usually on Friday, saying his days consist of “patient Saturday, and Sunday.

HEALTHY LIVING SERIES

Effective Surgical Solutions for Hernia and Gallbladder Conditions John N Donkersloot, MD – Hurley Comprehensive Surgery Group During the Hurley Healthy Living Series on May 11, 2023, Dr. John Donkersloot discussed symptoms and risk factors of gallstones and answered questions from attendees. About 38 million adults in the United States have gallstones, and 20% of them will develop symptoms. If you have symptoms, schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to get an abdominal ultrasound. If you have gallstones with no symptoms, it’s safe to wait until symptoms develop.

Symptoms

Risk Factors

Right upper abdominal pain after eating a large meal

Over the age of 40 Female, reproductive age Pregnancy or oral contraceptive use Ethnicity (Mexican American, Native American) Rapid Weight Loss (e.g. after bariatric surgery) Hemolytic Anemia Diabetes Mellitus

> Usually 1 hour after eating > Sometimes from meals containing fatty foods

Bloating after eating Jaundice Indigestion

Q&A What is the surgery like?

This surgery is a minimally invasive cholecystectomy, which is an outpatient surgery that typically last one to two hours.

The surgery minimizes risks of developing complications like pancreatitis or other gallstone complications and is often done laparoscopically or robotically. Two of the incisions are 5 millimeters and one of the incisions is less than half of an inch.

Will I be on a special diet after having my gall bladder removed?

The main issue that we see after an operation is sometimes if they have a fatty meal, they’ll have diarrhea, and that’s something that we counsel patients about so that they know.

That’s a problem that goes away after a couple of months because the body’s really good at adjusting to processing fatty meals even without a gallbladder.

18 • HURLEY MEDICAL CENTER

Do I need gallbladder supplements?

No, typically the gallbladder is sufficient. We typical don’t prescribe these supplements but if someone wants to try them, it’s ok to see if that helps you.

What is the downtime?

We generally see patients in the clinic 7-10 days after the operation and review their pathology report. For a minimally invasive operation it’s usually about 2 weeks or so of not lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk and then gradually increasing activity from there. If your job does not include a ton of heavy activity, you can go back once you feel comfortable, those with more physically demanding jobs may need more time.

Hurley Wellness celebrates employees who are passionate about health, whether that means the individuals have achieved or are working toward a personal mental or physical goal or that they foster a culture of wellness.

Hurley’s Wellness Hero of the Quarter, Shyanne Showerman, embodies all aspects of the award by showing care and respect to others as well as herself.

Shyanne has worked as a registered nurse in the NICU for six years, having gotten her start floating between the PEDS, PICU, and NICU units. Working in the NICU demands that Shyanne focuses on her patients, and that is exactly what she does while at Hurley.

Shyanne states she was “very surprised that I was nominated for the Wellness Hero award. It’s nice that someone thought I was inspiring. I just go up to walk on the treadmill after my shift, or during the day I take the stairs and sometimes ask people to join me.”

20 • HURLEY MEDICAL CENTER

In terms of wellness goals, she explains that “I have two young daughters so I’m really just trying to show a healthy relationship with food, valuing movement, and showing consistency. I am trying to run in a 10k race, but I just feel better overall when I’m active and eating a balanced diet.” Her favorite physical activity is walking on high inclines because it gets your heart moving, and it can be a quick workout. She also enjoys running and bodyweight exercises. She says, “I think wellness is about caring, respecting, and valuing the body and mind that you have.”

Outside of Hurley, Shyanne likes outdoor activities like camping, traveling, and gardening. She and her family grow raspberries, tomatoes, and all kinds of other vegetables and fruits in their backyard. They even have peach trees.

While Shyanne is humble about the idea of her being a wellness hero, her co-workers have noticed these habits and lifestyle choices. One nomination forms states, “She and her husband grow a lot of their own foods and eat healthy meals, rarely eat fast foods.” Another writes, “She takes walks or does stairs on her lunch breaks and invites others to go along with her, promoting her coworkers to get up and be active when they have the time."

quarterly wellness hero

“I think wellness is about caring, respecting, and valuing the body and mind that you have.”

In recognition of her dedication to wellness, Shyanne received a Wellness medal, Hurley Wellness jacket, $20 gift certificate for massage, and membership to the YMCA. Congratulations, Shyanne!
