Patient Assistance Fund
Generous contributions to the YOU&I Arcadia Trails project have played a vital role in expanding access to care for the uninsured or underinsured members of our community. Caregiver generosity has provided 15 scholarships, exceeding $73,000 in 2023, enabling individuals to access life-saving addiction treatment.
Meet Patrick Mason, an INTEGRIS Health caregiver whose transformative journey at Arcadia Trails exemplifies the profound impact of addiction recovery. Patrick's inspiring story of triumph serves as a testament to the transformative power of recovery, and his commitment to supporting Arcadia Trails through the YOU&I Campaign reflects a desire to give back to a place that has played a pivotal role in his own healing.

Burn Gaming Carts for
Hand Therapy
QUESTIONS?
Patients at the INTEGRIS Health Paul Silverstein Burn Center will soon have a new form of therapy! YOU&I funds are being used to purchase two new gaming carts that are expected to arrive in early 2024. These carts will come with a monitor, console system, and controllers on a rolling stand. By incorporating video games into therapy, patients are encouraged to move their hands, which can decrease contractures and the need for repeat surgeries. Gaming carts provide a fun way to get patients engaged in their care and will make a lasting impact on burn patients.

Impacting Health Outcomes
QUESTIONS?
Meet Veronica, a 20 year old who had five hospital admissions and 25 emergency room visits one year prior to beginning with the Community Care Coordination Team (CCCT). Her medical issues ranged from abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and in one instance, cardiac arrest. These symptoms were a result of severely low potassium levels in her body, a life-threatening condition. Once she began working with CCCT, she was established with a primary care provider, connected with a mental health provider and started medications to control her symptoms. Unfortunately, Veronica’s home life was unstable, forcing her to travel between multiple homes for respite. To help remind her to take her meds, the CCCT supplied her with a medication organizer and pill planners.
Today, Veronica is no longer experiencing abdominal complications, attends her medical appointments, takes her meds as prescribed and is now working at a nursing home while taking classes to get into LPN school. Veronica is one of 40 patients the CCCT help each year.

Compassionate Creations
The team of dedicated Certified Child Life Specialists (CCLS) has been busy creating positive memories for families. When a patient with minor children is placed on comfort care, CCLS works with the child and parent to create pieces of artwork, like handprints, that help establish positive memories.
QUESTIONS?
In the past, adult units have called Child Life for assistance during these situations, but due to limited capacity, they’re not always able to respond. To make sure children are cared for around the clock, YOU&I funds have been used to make compassionate creation boxes that contain simple instructions and the supplies needed for a small art project. Since October 2023, these boxes have been provided to 10 departments that care for adult patients at IHBMC and will soon be impacting 50+ families of adult patients per month.

Exciting developments are taking place at Children’s Place and Fun & Fit locations within both INTEGRIS Health Baptist Medical Center and Southwest Medical Center. The first phase, which includes installing a new fence, will be complete in November 2023. Then, crews will begin installing shade canopies. The addition of shade canopies is a significant enhancement, providing much-needed relief to the children during the hot summers. Looking ahead, the team is eager to continue this positive momentum by raising additional funds in the 2024 YOU&I Campaign. These funds will support the installation of more shade structures over the next few years, ensuring an even more comfortable and enjoyable outdoor environment for the young ones.

Patients at the INTEGRIS Health MDA Neuromuscular Center have some degree of reduced mobility. Some can sit in a wheelchair or use a walker, while others are restricted to laying in a bed. However, new equipment purchased using YOU&I funds aims to help patients prolong their independence.
Equipment such as posterior lateral struts (pictured top left) provide stability and helps propel patients as they walk. Transfer chairs and seat cushions (pictured bottom left) combines the function of a wheelchair with the mobility of a rolling walker with a seat. Ankle foot orthoses, vista collars and more are being used to improve quality of life for neuromuscular patients.

QUESTIONS?
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit will soon be home to brand new Kangaroo Chairs, expected to arrive at the start of 2024. Caregivers are extremely excited about this addition to the NICU because parents often stay at the bedside for the majority of the day, so a comfortable place to sit is of the utmost importance. Some of the sweetest and most memorable moments for families occur during skinto-skin time, and these chairs will help promote more of these moments. Your support helps create an environment that nurtures the well-being of both parents and their precious newborns.

Facial Recognition & Tag Cameras
YOU&I funds are working to significantly enhancing the safety measures at INTEGRIS Health. Facial recognition technology is being implemented, reinforcing our commitment to the wellbeing of patients, caregivers, and visitors. This cutting-edge system enables public safety caregivers to proactively identify individuals with potential criminal intentions or threats to the facility, staff, or patients. The addition of this technology strengthens our security efforts and contributes to an increased sense of safety for everyone, particularly benefiting caregivers and patients involved in violent or potentially violent domestic relationships. YOUR 2023 IMPACT
The ongoing project is currently progressing, with the upgrade of 20 cameras in the main entrance and Emergency Room at both INTEGRIS Health Baptist Medical Center and INTEGRIS Health Southwest Medical Center. The selection of these facilities is based on their size and the volume of people they serve. Looking ahead, the goal is to extend this technology to 70 cameras across all INTEGRIS Health facilities in the near future.

Since beginning the Bereavement Baskets project in 2022, the Pastoral Care team has been in metro hospitals providing care to families who have a loved one on comfort care measures. These baskets, which contain bottles of water, chips, cookies, and other snacks, provide a tangible expression of compassion. Chaplains are trained that it's not so much important what you say but how you remain present in a time of crisis. Bereavement baskets offer a chance for chaplains to enter a patient’s room and offer services. Thanks to a strong partnership between Pastoral Care and clinical staff, an average of 60 baskets are distributed to families each month.

Education & Aftercare
Stroke patients at INTGERIS Health facilities receive educational materials on how to care for themselves and prevent another stroke from happening.

Patient families travel an average of 100 miles to come to the transplant institute and need to stay for additional testing, medical appointments, or to support a loved one. Funds typically provide two days of assistance, giving them enough time to take care of their medical needs. Thanks to generous donors, patients no longer have to make difficult decisions regarding their care and their family’s financial needs.
