Diversity IN THE MEDIA

Based on a true story, Hidden Figures tells the untold tale of how three Black, female mathematicians, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Katherine G. Johnson, working at NASA in the early 1960s joined forces to help launch the first-ever American astronaut into orbit.

Battle of the Sexes

Billie Jean King, a world champion on the tennis court and of women’s rights, is played by Emma Stone in this film inspired by the 1973 tennis match between her and self-proclaimed male chauvinist Bobby Riggs. Streaming on Amazon Prime.

Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in medicine: The first “immortal” human cells grown in culture, which are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years.

Welcome to the Michigan Women’s Historical Center and Hall of Fame. We now commonly refer to the museum as the HERstory Gallery. We are honored to have the privilege of telling the stories of Michigan women’s brilliance, talent, perseverance and achievement.

THE “A” TEAM

HURLEY MEDICAL CENTER AMBULATION TEAM

The A-Team, or Ambulatory Team, is Hurley’s first Team of the Season for 2023. The A-Team consists of Jabari Brown, Moniquea Henry, and Darius Taylor. They are primarily responsible for getting patients who are 65 and older, as well as ambulatory, up and walking. As Angela Gagne, a Nurse Case Manager puts it, “Everyone is always visiting patients to do tests, but not the A-Team. They’re just there to walk and talk.” The talking part of her description may be just as important as the A-Team’s impact on mobility scores, as their presence has affected patients’ experience here at Hurley as much as patient outcomes.

Gagne explains a little further, “They help patients so they can advance home, so they don't have to go to a nursing home.” That outcome is not always easy to achieve, but the A-Team, in its two short years of existence, has had a big impact. Seth DuQuette, Nurse Clinician in the ICU and CCU, says, “There have been process improvement efforts in increasing mobility for a long time, as it's one of the most difficult metrics to move because it's one of the most difficult jobs that nurses have to do. The very first month that A-Team came into

CCU, they increased mobility scores by more than 25% when we expected them to go down because of higher acuity. If they weren't here to do it, it wouldn't be getting done with the efficacy and efficiency it's getting done with.”

Michelle McLaughlin, Nurse Manager for ICCU, takes it further, explaining that, “Not only is mobility up, delirium is down, and skin issues have reduced. They work really well with our staff, their insight and intuition is amazing, and they spend time with patients and build relationships with them. Such a simple solution is so effective.”

It is that talking - the relationship buildingthat resonates with the A-Team themselves. Darius explains that “The chance to connect with the patients is the best part. Its not always medical, sometimes we just go in and comfort the patients, we’ll set them up and talk to them when others can't.” The others agreed. Another thing they agreed on is that they do not see anything challenging in their job, and they enjoy their time with patients. Moniquea says “We love to cheer them on when we see them working with other staff, like physical therapists.” Jabari adds, “Even the ones that don't want to

walk, eventually they work with us because of the relationship we have.” This unfailing positivity is so obvious in every interaction they have that it’s impossible to think its any less important than the walking they do with patients.

Even though it is all here full time, Monday through Friday, each member of the A-Team stays busy when they are not clocked in. Jabari runs a custom t-shirts and signs business, and likes to take his kids on trips. Moniquea is a homebody, but also spends time with her family camping, hiking, canoeing, and fishing. Darius started teaching music online during the beginning of the pandemic, and still does today. He also likes to hang out with his kids, and engage in the “sciency” things that they enjoy, like robotics.

When asked how they feel about being named the first Team of the Season, Jabari says, “I want to thank Hurley for starting the program, we’ve been welcomed with open arms across the hospital.” Moniquea adds, “I’m also grateful for the program, because I’ve seen the progress and outcomes it enables.”

The A-Team received a gift package that included a party hosted by Sovita Credit Union with their team, Hurley Bucks to be used in the Lobby Shop, Cafeteria or at Jazzman’s, photo shoots of the team in action, and a laminated certificate. Congratulations, A-Team!

The Team of the Season Award is our way of recognizing the teamwork that is so important at Hurley in assisting the fulfillment of our mission of “Clinical Excellence, Service to

Teams are awarded this recognition based on their demonstration of a collaborative spirit, mutual accountability, support to others, fulfillment of Hurley’s mission and overall positive attitude.

HURLEY MEDICAL CENTER HONORED AS

World’s Best Smart Hospitals

As we head into this new year, Hurley Medical Center would like to share that Newsweek Magazine has named our destination hospital as one of the top Smart Hospitals in the world in 2023!

Newsweek is recognizing the top 250 institutions around the world, ranking Hurley #115 for using new technology to improve care, health goals and quality of life for patients. This is the second time Hurley Medical Center has made this exclusive list, showing how the hospital continues to lead the way into the future of healthcare. Hurley is just one of two destination hospitals in the state to achieve this honor. The University of Michigan Hospitals-Michigan Medicine was also ranked for its use of robotics.

Hurley Medical Center Rankings

1 of 2 Hospitals Ranked in Michigan

Top 50 in the United States (#42)

Ranked #115 in the World

Technology is a priority because Hurley Medical Center and Hurley Children’s Hospital know advanced technology leads to the best care and outcomes for families. Hurley is a destination hospital for patients across Mid-Michigan, the Great Lakes Region and the Thumb. When patients need surgeries, complex diagnoses or specialists who can get them to recovery quicker, they don’t have to travel downstate anymore. The experts and advanced technology are closer, at Hurley Medical Center and Hurley Children’s Hospital. Here are several ways Hurley has advanced technology in the past couple of years, since first making the list.

• On cutting edge of developing predictive tools to identify patient decline BEFORE it happens

• Improving Telemedicine capabilities to expand access to care

• Developing tools to allow patients to be monitored from home so interventions can be made before they need to come to Emergency

• Making care tools more mobile so technology can be utilized right at the patient bedside, where it is needed most

• Sending alerts to providers’ phones so they can be aware of critical situations immediately

"It is a great honor to be recognized again by Newsweek as a hospital that has maximized its use of technology to make patient care better,” says Dr. Michael Roebuck, Chief Medical Information Officer. “Recognition at this level validates the efforts of both the Technology Team and the Clinical End Users."

*Hurley is 1 of 5 health systems in the state to be validated as a HIMSS Stage 7 Hospitalmaximizing electronic medical records to provide care that is safe, efficient and high quality.

*Our growing technology allows doctors in the NICU to predict symptoms in babies before they experience them.

*With innovative bar codes and IV pumps, we improve safety making sure patients get the correct medications and doses.

*Hurley has been able to share 3.5 million patient records with 2000 hospitals spanning 50 states. The digital transformation helps patients if they get sick or hurt on vacation or have moved.

*MyChart allows patients to get test results quicker and make appointments easier.

As an independent hospital, Hurley Medical Center has carefully managed its resources in order to become a cutting edge medical center, providing advanced care to patients in 15 Michigan counties. As technology advances, the hospital has made it a priority to value its investments and make the investments work to their maximum.

In partnership with the global data research company Statista Inc., Newsweek created the World’s Best Smart Hospital 2023 rankings based on worldwide recommendations from hospital managers and medical professionals, analyzing thousands of votes in a survey on smart hospitals.

Elite care is right here in the heart of our region.

For 115 years, Hurley Medical Center has been the future of healthcare. And now, Hurley has been named one of the WORLD’S BEST Smart Hospitals by Newsweek Magazine.

Already known across Mid-Michigan, Northern Michigan and the Thumb, Hurley Medical Center has a WORLD-RENOWNED reputation for innovation and exceptional excellence in healthcare.

When it comes to your family’s health, you don’t have to search the globe for the best.

Last month was a busy one! With February being American Heart Month, we were supporting community events that were sharing information and resources on heart health. We kicked off the week at Catholic Charities, dropping off undergarments for the community and providing a heart health newsletter. Then we went to the Greater Flint Arts Council to discuss how heart health awareness impacts self-care. Bountiful Love Ministries held an event called Heart2Hold and we were on hand at Berston Field House’s We Are One event providing education on heart health and knowing where to go. Hasselbring Senior Center hosted a class called Senior Self Care – Heart Health Informed, then we finished up Heart Month at Spirit of Victory Outreach Ministries Heart Health Awareness event.

Get to Know Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Fuels that burn like wood or charcoal, or make heat or energy using carbon-based fuels--natural gas, propane, oil, gasoline or diesel engines–can produce a gas called carbon monoxide. Malfunctioning or improperly vented fireplaces, furnaces and portable and stationary generators can produce carbon monoxide.

You can’t see the gas. You can’t smell it. But carbon monoxide can make you really sick or kill you.

A carbon monoxide alarm will let you know if unsafe levels of this poison gas are in your house.

You need an alarm outside bedrooms.

Get to Know Carbon Monoxide Alarms

You need an alarm on each level of your home. Push the test button each month to make sure it is working.

If you hear the alarm, get outside immediately.

Then call the fire department. Don’t go back inside unless the firefighters say it is safe.

2023 HURLEY BENEFIT BALL

GATEWAY HOTEL & CONVENTION CENTER FLINT, MI

1993–2023

Named Hurley Foundation President

With hospitals across the country experiencing financial and staffing challenges following the pandemic, the role of the hospital philanthropic arm is vitally important to the care patients receive. Hurley Foundation is excited to announce Karima Amlani is now leading our team as Hurley Foundation President.

Since its inception in 1993, Hurley Foundation has made tremendous strides to help ensure every family in this region has access to the state’s best health care through destination hospitals Hurley Medical Center and Hurley Children’s Hospital, which is one of just four Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in Michigan.

Amlani has worked alongside our team and with community partners to further these goals as the former Hurley Foundation Director of Events and Fundraising from 2017-2019. Recently, she exceeded strategic goals as Vice President of Development for the Community Foundation of Greater Flint in raising endowed and non-endowed funds, growing grant revenue, transformational gifts and planned giving. Her expertise has been utilized as committee co-chair for the Council of Michigan Foundations and as an expert panelist at a national conference on resource development and diversifying donor bases.

“Karima Amlani’s extensive knowledge of, and relationships with, many community resources, non-profit agencies and frontline health care workers will further the progress Hurley Foundation has made. We expect her leadership will move the foundation to a whole new level of advancement,” says Michael Burnett, former Hurley Foundation President. We thank Mike Burnett for his leadership, innovations and his continued support ensuring a smooth transition.

The experienced Hurley Foundation team is excited to set records for events, volunteer engagement, Children’s Miracle Network, Lobby Shop revenue, grants, sponsorships, investments and funds. Many have worked with Amlani in the past and together, with the addition of new specialized talent, are hitting the ground running in 2023.

“It's beyond special to rejoin the Hurley Foundation in its 30th year, celebrating with the team, Community Partners and ambassadors who help make our work possible,” says Karima Amlani, Hurley Foundation President. “I look forward to building off the success of my predecessors and embarking on a mission to grow philanthropic investment in health equity and access.”

We thank the Hurley Foundation and Hurley Medical Center boards for their support in this selection. We invite families and businesses across the region to join us in our mission of Clinical Excellence, Service to People. Together we can make the MidMichigan, Great Lakes, Thumb region a place where everyone has access to the latest health care advancements.

“We volunteer because of our faith. We love God and we feel what we do is a calling.”

- Kelsay and Kim Mannor

Kelsay and Kim Mannor, the Volunteers of the Month for February, started volunteering at Hurley in 2002. In that time they have been involved in many roles, including bake sales, walk-athons, bowlathons, working in the NICU and even bringing their therapy dog Charlie to the hospital to visit pediatric patients. In September 2005, Kim and Kelsay became regular volunteers on Popcorn Thursdays in the West Lobby. Then, COVID hit. In June 2020, they started making the large Miracle Pop bags of popcorn in the School of Nursing building.  “Kelsay and I enjoy volunteering for CMN,” Kim said. “Knowing that every bag of Miracle Pop that’s sold helps the kids makes us happy.” In 2022, $16,574 was raised between Miracle Pop that’s sold in the Lobby Shop and Popcorn Thursdays in the West Lobby.

The Mannor family’s relationship with Hurley began when Kelsay and her triplet sisters, Kerrie and Kara, were born here and spent time in the NICU. So, it comes as no surprise that Kim and Kelsay enjoy volunteering in the NICU as cuddlers.

Over the years, their dedication to Hurley has only grown. As Kim explains, “Hurley is family. Our life is so tied to Hurley now, and the people we meet here. It’s just this beautiful fabric of life and opportunities to help someone. We couldn’t imagine not being a part of Hurley. We love Hurley and look forward to giving back. It means the world to us. We encourage anyone who’s interested to reach out and become a Hurley volunteer.”

When they’re not giving their time to helping people at Hurley, Kim and Kelsay can be found volunteering at their churches. Kelsay goes to Journey Ministries, where they help in the nursery, and help with special occasions like stuffing Easter eggs. In the past they were involved in two Presbyterian churches, where they visited the elderly, mailed cards, and did phone trees for special prayers. They also spent ten years volunteering in a 4th grade classroom, where Charlie got to visit the kids too. Kim says, “We volunteer because of our faith. We love God and we feel what we do is a calling.”

When not volunteering, family is a focus. Kim says, “We love to spend time with our family, especially Kerrie and Joe in Grand Rapids, and Kara in Ann Arbor. We love traveling to Traverse City every summer to visit our Aunt Alice and let Charlie, our therapy dog, swim at the beach. We love to bake cookies, take long walks, and eat out.  Black Rock and Sagebrush Cantina are our favorites.”

Winter Wellness Tune-Up brings enrichment and education to learners and faculty

Chair massages and two furry guests named Mully and Sadie were the unofficial hits of a recent well-being event for resident physicians, fellows, faculty, and GME staff March 6 in Merliss Brown Auditorium.

About 50 people attended the station-based education and enrichment program, designed to deliver well-being information in a fun way. Stations included: Fun in Flint & HMC Resources; Creativity & Gratitude; Water for Wellness; Sleep, Dream, Be Well; Laughter as Medicine; Chair Massages; Pet Therapy (with special guests Mully, a golden doodle who visits adult HMC patients, and Sadie, a basset hound-sharpei mix who visits behavioral health patients at HMC); and Self Care. Oh - and the togo lunch was a big hit, too. Resident physicians voted on their top two favorites to eat that day, and the winners were: Taboon and Cantonese Gourmet.

Participants could enter their names into a drawing for prizes at each station. And one name was chosen from all resident and fellow names, whether they could attend the event or not, to also win a prize. | Amazon gift card* prize-winners were:
