Meet our new Tuomey Compassion for Foundation director Patients and Family

A

Letter from The President

t Tuomey, our “I Care” slogan represents not only our core values – Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence – but an attitude: that our jobs as caretakers are not about punching a clock, but instead about a deep commitment to service in a respectful and comfortable environment. We strive to make the experience of our patients nothing but positive and stress-free. In a field of many great hospitals, Tuomey is consistently raising the bar on quality.

In this issue of LifeTimes, we are happy to highlight some of

the people and programs that make Tuomey remarkable. Far from doing the bare minimum, Tuomey earned outstanding scores (including a flawless report in Food and Nutrition) in both the Joint Commission accreditation inspection and the general licensing survey. In an unannounced DHEC inspection, Tuomey received an unprecedented perfect report. We are so proud to be recognized for the excellence of our staff and facilities, and we would like to thank each and every Tuomey team member for these outstanding results.

But of course, running a hospital is not just about passing our tests and inspections with flying colors, but about meeting the needs of our patients. You’ll read about Tuomey Hospice, a program unique for its ability to offer personalized, compassionate care to patients and caregivers alike. You’ll also find an article about Tuomey Rehabilitation Services, a program that pairs the most state-of-the-art equipment with devoted and experienced physical therapists.

In other news, we are thrilled to announce that Jeff Faw has been named Executive Director of the Tuomey Foundation. The Tuomey Foundation is our philanthropic branch; its work supports important causes both inside and outside our hospital walls. Under Jeff’s skilled guidance, the Foundation hopes to expand the charitable efforts that support our community. We have the utmost respect for Jeff and are so pleased to have him leading this prestigious group.

It’s obvious that Tuomey is an exceptional facility, but it’s our people that make all the difference. The hard work and dedication of our staff consistently demonstrate our commitment to building the very best patient experience for you and your family.

Whether you’re a weekend warrior,

a high school

or college athlete, or just picking up a tennis racquet on Tuesday nights, Tuomey Rehab Services is there when you need it. Rehab Manager Jerry Shadbolt and his team of experts can handle almost any situation that comes their way.

A graduate of Indiana University, Shadbolt received his Bachelor of Science degree in physical education and athletic training in 1993, and a master’s degree in counseling and guidance services in 1995 from Clemson.

Shadbolt, who joined Tuomey in 2003, sat down with us recently and told us what makes the rehab team at Tuomey so special.

What are some of the outpatient rehab services that are offered at Tuomey Medical Park?

Our physical therapy team consists of both licensed physical therapists and physical therapy assistants. Together they work closely with patients following surgery, illness or trauma to help them regain their normal physical capacities and return to an improved quality of life.

We have individualized rehab programs for each of our patients. We have a broad range of patients, so we try to make the best of a sometimes bad situation. Rehab needs to be fun, too!

Are your services available to anyone?

How do you choose the employees who come to work here?

We are extremely selective. We turn job candidates down if they are not the right fit for the department. They have to have an excellent set of clinical skills, but they have to be customer-service oriented as well. It’s all about the patient and the quality of care. We have the most diverse team in the area, and our focus on the individual is what separates us

“I CARE”

is more than just a slogan – it’s the way we demonstrate our core values, the way we connect with individual patients. For Tuomey employees, “I CARE” means working as a team, understanding that every single one of us impacts patient care, regardless of our department or position, and that each of us is responsible for patient satisfaction.

And it’s that spirit of teamwork that led to outstanding, unprecedented results on survey after survey this year, from the stringent Joint Commission accreditation inspection that looks at thousands of hospital standards to the general licensing survey conducted annually by the state, as well as unannounced department inspections by DHEC that analyze patient care in nearly every corner of the hospital.

The results: • “zero recommendations for improvement”, an unheard-of rating in the Food and Nutrition Department; the inspector said a perfect 100 in a food preparation and delivery operation as big and busy as ours was extraordinary.

• A “perfect” peer review for the Tuomey Lab. • A “spotless” Home Health and Hospice review.

• Not a single deficiency listed in a Mammography inspection.

• Completion with flying colors of the intense four day, hospital-wide Joint Commission review – not one hospital in the state did better!

• Stellar government surveys of the Subacute program and Perinatal services.

• Three DHEC surveyors who conducted an unannounced visit in March issued no violations – a first for them, They called our employees the friendliest, most cooperative, and most knowledgeable staff they’d ever met.

One American dies every 32 seconds due to cardiovascular disease or disorders of the heart and blood vessels. Early detection of these life-threatening vascular diseases is possible through the use of non-invasive testing techniques performed within vascular labs, like the one at Tuomey.

Tuomey Foundation Golf Classic

The Twelfth Annual Tuomey Foundation Golf Classic was once again an enormous

success. What has become the most anticipated tournament in Sumter, proved to be an unforgettable event. Twenty-eight teams began the morning with a shotgun start; the tournament culminated with an awards luncheon featuring team and individual prizes.

The Tuomey Foundation would like to thank the Tuomey Employee Golf Committee for all of its hard work.

This committee is the core group that organizes this event, and we appreciate that these dedicated employees volunteer their time on top of the duties they perform day in and day out at the hospital.

Their efforts have certainly paid off as we netted close to $38,000 this year for our Community Outreach Endowment, a 31 percent increase over last year. This fund allows the Foundation to support programs and causes outside of the hospital.

The Tuomey Foundation Golf Classic has netted more than $400,000 since its inception. We look forward to teeing it up once again next year, and invite you to join us.

Employee Scholarship Fund

The Employee Scholarship Fund was created in 2000 by employees who wanted to help Tuomey families with their educational goals. Employees of Tuomey raised close to $100,000 to create this scholarship. The Tuomey Foundation began awarding scholarships in 2003 to Tuomey employees, immediate family members of Tuomey employees (as specified), and active volunteers of Tuomey Healthcare System who have accumulated at least 250 hours of volunteer service, using the interest earned on this fund. Including this year’s beneficiaries, to date we have awarded 32 scholarships totaling $16,000. Scholarships are given based on academic performance and community service, and can be awarded to students who have been accepted to a program or are currently enrolled in courses of higher education.

Every year, a committee of employees volunteer their time to select a few deserving recipients out of numerous applicants. On August 5, the following individuals were each presented with a $500 check and a certificate from The Tuomey Foundation:

Festival of Trees

It is not too late to sign up as a sponsor or decorator

for The Ninth Annual Festival of Trees! The Festival of Trees has become a holiday tradition in our community and continues to raise awareness for our Tuomey Hospice Services. A steering committee, led by Dr. J. Grady Locklear, has been working diligently all summer preparing for the creation of this winter wonderland.

We are always blown away by the businesses and individuals that come forward each year to ensure a memorable event. Many of these businesses choose to decorate their trees themselves, while others want a decorator assigned to them. We look forward to once again showcasing the most beautiful holiday trees in town, sponsored by antique dealers, churches, local businesses and schools.

Individuals can also purchase lights for the official Circle of Lights tree that is on display atop the Wishing Well as you enter the hospital. This tree will be lit on Thursday, December 2, which will signify the beginning of the Festival of Trees season.

If you would like to receive more information about these or other activities taking place, please do not hesitate to call our office at 774-9014 or visit our website at www.tuomeyfoundation.com.
