Dear VNHC Family and Friends, On the front cover, I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with some of my colleagues at Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care’s annual PHORUM: Perspectives In Healthcare event. We are fortunate to have the caliber of healthcare leaders, professionals, and organizations in Santa Barbara working together to provide expert care to improve the health of our community. It may be in a hospital or clinic setting, or directly in our homes through the innovative and compasionate care provided by VNHC. VNHC began making personal visits in the homes of Santa Barbarans in 1908 with a focus on nursing care and education. Now more than 100 years later, our national healthcare experts recognize that the most effective and efficient way to promote health and well-being after surgery, or treatment for an injury or illness, is to provide healthcare in the comfort of our patients’ homes.

With changes in national healthcare trends and an aging population that values independence and dignity, the future delivery of healthcare will increasingly take place in the home. Physicians, specialists, hospitals, and clinics will continue to be the foundation of our healthcare delivery system, and VNHC will continue to be a valued partner maintaining the continuum of care by providing patient education and professional care management in the home.

Beyond providing four star rated in-home healthcare, VNHC is committed to delivering that care with compassion and dignity. VNHC caregivers and clinicians want to know and understand our patients and their families, so we can build relationships with our community. We want to help our personal care clients enjoy living at home as long as possible.

We want to help our home health patients recover and regain their strength. We want our palliative and hospice patients to live the best life possible in comfort and with dignity.

We want to improve the health and well-being of all the communities we serve.

In this issue of Heart-to-Heart, we share some insights from a few of our healthcare leaders, some of our rehabilitative therapists, a beloved donor couple, and a long-time volunteer. Their stories beautifully illustrate the care and compassion with which VNHC will continue in its second century of service.

Sincerely,

Lynda Tanner, RN, MSN President & CEO 3 | vnhcsb.org

PHORUM: Perspectives in Healthcare is a program that reviews, discusses and forecasts trends and issues in our healthcare industry at the national, regional and local levels. Tracey Moorhead, President & CEO of Visiting Nurse Associations of America, presented this year’s keynote address, “Succeeding in a Value-Based Health Economy: Key Policy Initiatives Impacting Care at the Community Level,” where she discussed today’s complicated and rapidly changing healthcare landscape, and how it is vital for patients and providers to understand the major national regulatory and legislative trends impacting healthcare delivery systems in Santa Barbara. Afterwards, VNHC President & CEO Lynda Tanner, RN, MSN, moderated a panel of local healthcare leaders who discussed issues about healthcare access for all populations, the capacity of our current healthcare delivery system, and the funding available for health education and community projects.

The 2016 PHORUM was sponsored by the RoKe Foundation.

National Healthcare Changes and the Local Impact VNHC and Santa Barbara Already Ahead of the Curve, Says Industry Leader

By Julia McHugh and Easter Moorman

H

ow is Santa Barbara affected by the sweeping changes in healthcare on the national level, and what more is to come?

This was the topic of a gathering of more than 300 community members and healthcare professionals last March for the third annual PHORUM, hosted by Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care (VNHC).

The Santa Barbara community is already ahead of the curve in many areas, said keynote speaker Tracey Moorhead, who also shared valuable insight into the trends shaping how healthcare will be accessed, provided, and funded in the future.

The biggest trend, according to Moorhead, is Population Health Management. This is the shift from the treatment of a person when they are diagnosed to instead integrate all their health needs: medical and behavioral, and to include public health and social service factors when needed. Preventative care and wellness programs are now seen as intrinsic to health care programs.

In Population Health Management, a determination is made of the makeup of populations being served, followed by assessments made to target where specific populations fall on a continuum of various factors. Collaborative and innovative programs are then created based on the specific needs of targeted populations. VNHC already uses this model, and has since its inception.

In VNHC’s case, the targeted populations are in the areas of advanced illness, palliative and hospice care. Coordination with social workers, dietitians, and counselors is already in place at VNHC, in collaboration with physicians, nurses, aides, and volunteers. In fact, comprehensive care management is at the core of VNHC’s mission.

The PHORUM panel (L to R): Lynda Tanner as moderator, Dr. Charles Fenzi, Elizabeth Majestic, Dr. Takashi Wada, Rhonda Spiegel, and Bob Freeman.

Coordinated primary care is now being adopted by many kinds of providers, such as hospitals, medical groups, and insurers, as is the idea of team treatment.

Better quality and “value-based” care are other major trends identified by Moorhead. These shifts are driven by federal and state initiatives that force the providers to look for innovative and cost-efficient ways to deliver quality healthcare.

“Changes in MediCare, the biggest provider in the country, funnels down and drives alternative payment models,” said Moorhead. “You can see this in your own community, such as quality initiatives that CenCal and others have already implemented.”

The result will be more control and choices for patients, and increased transparency in quality and costs by providers. Moorhead calls this “patientcentric reorientation of products and services.”

In conclusion, Moorhead stated, “We have to engage consumers and understand their goals and help them in understanding the opportunities they have in their communities to access care.”

Lynda Tanner then moderated a panel with local healthcare and community leaders who discussed what their organizations are doing to address Santa Barbara’s healthcare needs. vnhcsb.org | 5

The panel included Dr. Charles Fenzi, Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics CMO & CEO; Elizabeth Majestic, Cottage Health Vice President of Population Health; Dr. Takashi Wada, Santa Barbara County Public Health Department Director and Health Officer; Rhonda Spiegel, Alzheimer’s Association California Central Chapter Executive Director; and Bob Freeman, CenCal Health CEO.

Some of the issues raised and discussed included: • We live in a fast-changing healthcare environment impacted by federal and state regulations, shifting demographics, and new technology.

• Consumers are the center of the healthcare system, so we need to understand our populations by going outside the walls of healthcare to collect data about education, income, employment, housing, social behavior, culture, and current health status so we can better care for our communities.

• With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, we have a challenge of balancing patient access and provider capacity. The population of uninsured patients seen at SBNC decreased from 33% in 2012 to 20% today. CenCal Health had 108,000 members in 2014 and currently they have grown to 175,000 members.

• The “Silver Tsunami” is coming! We live in an aging population which brings more complex illnesses that is more costly and the need for postacute care becomes more important. Every day 10,000 people turn 65 and the healthcare system is not prepared to care for the 13 million people (and the families) who will be affected by Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia. We are spending over $200 billion a year to care for someone with Alzheimer’s Disease, and probably more than $140 billion represents Medicare or MediCal. • Healthcare in Santa Barbara has two platforms: mainstream healthcare and the nonprofit community. The partnerships between healthcare organizations and the community organizations has become a catalyst for innovative programing and funding to create a safety net for people who fall out mainstream healthcare.

Moorhead’s preface in her keynote address serves as a reminder of the opportunities we have to improve the health and well being of Santa Barbara.

“Santa Barbara is very unique. You do have something of a unique microcosm here…not only in terms of the beauty of your community, but the small and integrated components of your healthcare delivery system. It’s very interesting to learn more about the healthcare delivery and the partnerships that happen here in Santa Barbara, but it’s not replicable in other communities across the country.

Other communities might have 15 to 20 different payers or health plans, or 15 to 20 different physician group practices or accountable care organizations, and it’s very, very difficult to bring all of them together in the types of partnerships that have been so successfully forged here in Santa Barbara.”

“Passing It On” A Little Gift, but from the Heart of Jack Nadel

By Easter Moorman

I

n September, our local and global communities said farewell to a great man and an even greater friend – Mr. Jack Nadel. A WWII Veteran, award-winning author, successful entrepreneur, and generous philanthropist, Jack was a man who believed in building relationships and “passing it on” to the next generation.

Whether he gave a beautifully inscribed pen, shared his wisdom, or made a donation, you knew that Jack gave you a gift from his heart.

At Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care, we are honored and grateful to both Jack and his wife Julie for their gift of music from the heart through the Elly Nadel Music Therapy Program.

Jack and Julie Nadel

In 2008, Jack and Julie came to VNHC with more than an idea and a donation; they came prepared with a plan inspired by deep passion.

“There are always two parts of philanthropy,” Julie said. “Sometimes it’s very easy to just write the check, especially for those of us who have been fortunate enough in life to become prosperous; but giving of your most precious commodity…your time…is the other part of philanthropy, and that’s how Jack and I like to do our programs.”

Jack also appreciated that “the most important part of Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care is the humanity.” So the goal of the Elly Nadel Music Therapy Program is to bring music into the homes of hospice patients taking their final journey. Music is the universal language, and Jack and Julie want to keep the music playing in honor of Elly, Jack’s first wife, and to provide comfort for those who need it most.

“Bringing Elly’s favorite music to her during those final days dramatically improved the quality of her life,” Jack shared.

Dr. Jeanne Martin, Therapeutic Harpist and Stefana Dadas, Certified Music Therapist Today, the Elly Nadel Music Therapy Program has a diverse team of special hospice musicians who serve nearly 400 VNHC patients and families throughout Santa Barbara County, providing more than 1,000 hospice music visits in a year. The best way we can say THANK YOU to Jack and Julie is to share the gratitude and appreciation from just a few of the many families they have blessed with their generosity.

“You know, this is his language...he’s a musician and what you offer is what speaks to his soul...I love when he’s able to participate with you, thank you for your visits!”

“This is the best for (my) Auntie...nothing seems to bring her joy like your music and when you visit her... really, it’s the only thing we talk about between your visits...in fact, that makes two of us...it’s good for me too and I’m glad that I can be here on the days you visit!”

“Thank you for the days you came to lift my mother’s spirit…you gave her a chance to smile those last days of her life! Thank you also for making her ‘Celebration of Life’ an evening I will never forget!” vnhcsb.org | 7

Beyond Therapy

By Kyrie Belme

“H

ELP! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.”

Many of us are familiar with this phrase and have seen those ads.

The reality is that falls, injuries, and illnesses do happen, and rehabilitation therapy is usually needed to recover.

Recovery from a serious injury, illness, or surgery can be slow and challenging. You may need to regain your strength, relearn skills, and find new ways of doing everyday things.

Like physicians and nurses, rehabilitation therapists (physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists) are essential medical professionals. They use their expertise to enhance the patient’s physical function and mobility to help the patient safely regain independence and dignity.

Knowing Their Story

Inspired from a childhood injury, Rob Sparrow has been a physical therapist (PT) for nearly 15 years. He enjoys being a PT because he likes helping people feel better, move better, stay safe, and most importantly, teaching caregivers and family members how to assist their loved ones.

as changing a patient’s medication so they sleep through the night, and they’re stronger and more keen to participate in physical therapy.”

Embracing Change

“Occupational Therapy is the art and science of living,” says Leslie Lannan, Occupational Therapist (OT). Leslie focuses on a patient’s ability to perform the broad range of everyday life activities.

OTs promote independence by improving the skills required to perform their activities as well as teaching alternative ways to accomplish them.

The patient treatment plan is designed to improve skills and maximize functional abilities based on priorities and their personal goals.

Rob’s strategy involves learning each person’s “story” and recognizing that each patient is unique. “In knowing their story,” he says, “it makes my role easier and more effective in regards to their treatment. The goals of therapy are personal, specific, appropriate, and more self-inspiring.”

Knowing the patient’s story is also crucial in seeing the big picture. “I try to look at the whole picture and I really try to find out if there are any underlying issues that the physician or nurse would be better equipped to handle, such

Building Relationships

Speech and language therapy helps individuals improve breathing, speaking, or swallowing functioning.

“I have found through the years that one of the hardest functions to regain is swallowing,” says Speech Therapist Saara Boyer. “A person has eaten what they like, when they like, and how they like their whole life. Then we come in and we tell them that they have to give up their favorite snack or beverage to avoid the high risk of getting food and liquid or bacteria into the lungs.”

Sometimes occupational therapy requires change; and oftentimes, patients will question the need for change. Why do I need to rearrange my furniture?

Why do I need to use a shower chair? Why do I need to change?

The answer is simple. It’s for patients to safely move around in their home, but accepting the answer is a process. After educating both the patient and the patient’s family, changes can be made and the occupational therapy goals are achieved.

“Success is not always a return to full function however,” says Leslie, “sometimes the patient’s condition is more challenging, or the patient still needs to continue their journey of recovery with more rehabilitative therapy.”

For Leslie, “My success story is somebody who didn’t even know they needed occupational therapy, and I am able to show them how we can enhance their life by removing barriers so that they can safely regain their independence.”

10 | vnhcsb.org

To help make this life change easier, speech therapists will set up a mental “toolbox” or written instructions on what a patient can do and how caregivers can help improve in the area of need. For swallowing, a patient may need to modify their diet to make it safer to eat. Modifying the way they eat by avoiding distractions, avoiding talking while eating, and eating more slowly are all possible recommendations. These tools are balanced with maintaining a quality of life and ensuring that when the therapist leaves the home, the patient and the family are able to continue to implement the new habits.

“It is a good feeling to know I can have a positive impact with a personal touch,” says Saara. “It’s more than just a therapy visit. I build rapport with my patients…and their families…

I build relationships.”

For VNHC, rehabilitative therapy, is as much about recovery as knowing the patients’ story, helping them embrace change, and building relationships.

From Almost Dying to Die Hard Volunteer Interview by Scott Gordon Edited by Julia McHugh

How did you start volunteering with VNHC? I almost died ten years ago due to an infection following surgery. When I was laying on my death bed and they were calling in the priest to give last rites, I made a little promise. If I survived, I needed to start helping others. I had never volunteered, I had just worked all the time. So for the last ten years, I’ve been doing what I can to make up for lost time and helping as many people as I can.

What was it like to be a hospice volunteer?

Before I moved here, my father-in-law developed a brain tumor. I saw how incredible the hospice nurses were, how they had the ability to interact with the people who were just miserable due to their life threating illnesses.

In our hospice training, we learned that we shouldn’t be surprised if our patients are angry when we first meet them. But if you just sit there, the anger goes away, and then they’ll start talking.

That’s how it happened with me.

One of my first patients had Alzheimer’s disease.

When I first got there, he asked me who I was and why I was there. I explained. He didn’t want anything to do with me. I asked if I could just sit there. After about five minutes, he asked me the same questions. I answered. He said, “Oh well, what are you going to do?” “Well I’m just going to sit here and talk if you want to talk, and listen if that’s what you want. Or I can read to you,” I said. “Oh, I can’t read anymore,” he said, “can you read me this book that I really enjoy?”

So, if I had been scared off, I never would have had that whole experience. But I waited, and his attitude changed, and we got along really well. But every time I went to visit him it was the same thing. It would take him a while to get comfortable with me being there.

One lady had such an incredible life. She had lived in Alaska, Hawaii, and then Arizona. Her husband passed away and she moved to San Francisco and opened an art gallery. I visited her every day.

She had great stories and she was a great storyteller.

I walked the dog for another patient, one with a brain tumor. Sometimes I provided respite for caregivers, the patient’s wife or husband, so that they could have a break.

Was it difficult knowing the patients were going to die soon?

We as hospice volunteers know that the patients are only going to be with us a short time. It’s never shocking when they start to transition. I see it as an incredible opportunity to interact with people who are at the end of their lives.

When I hear their stories it enriches my life. That’s the best I can guess as to why I was put here, why I didn’t die ten years ago, and why I became a hospice volunteer. It’s to hear their stories and then share their stories. vnhcsb.org | 13

You had to stop volunteering for hospice, what do you do with VNHC now?

I am on dialysis from 3 until 11 p.m., seven days a week. My doctor said I had to stop voluntering for hospice because my immune system is limited and I could easily pick up something that my body wouldn’t be able to fight off.

In total I’ve been on dialysis about ten years.

The life expectancy of the average dialysis patient is six years. I have had a lot of other medical problems over those years, but compared to a lot of people on dialysis, I’m pretty healthy.

I’ve been able to continue to help people with electric chairs and electric scooters. A few years ago, somebody wanted to donate a used electric wheelchair to VNHC’s Loan Closet, which has limited room for equipment. I had space at my property so I offered to pick it up and refurbish it. Ninety percent of the time, they just need a new battery. I’ve been doing it ever since, but in a limited capacity recently.

Why is VNHC important to you?

I believe in their commitment to making hospice available to people who can’t afford it, making Serenity House available to people who can’t afford it, and making the Loan Closet available to people who can’t afford it.

I’m thankful for all the people I’ve met through VNHC. I’ve always enjoyed meeting patients and hearing about their lives.

People considering volunteering should really think about it. If you talk to people, then you eventually find something of common interest.

I think everybody has something unique to share with others. Sharing that experience with another person could be really special.

Mother’s Day Luncheon Compassionate and trusted care began with our moms, and in honor of Mother’s Day, Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care hosted its 15th Annual Mother’s Day Luncheon on Friday, May 6 at the Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club. Each year, VNHC honors two mothers - one living and one in memory - to celebrate their lives and acknowledge their contributions to our community. This year, VNHC remembered Debby Davison and honored Kate Firestone.

Nearly 400 guests began the day enjoying mimosas as they socialized and then enjoyed the Fashion Show, produced and directed by Pamela Dillman Haskell. KEYT’s Meredith Garofalo emceed the show, which featured 12 models from VNHC’s staff and volunteers, and showcased fabulous looks from k.frank. Catherine Remak, KLITE Radio Host, opened the luncheon celebration with warm reflections of both Debby and Kate. The program continued with a memorable video of Debby Davison’s life, both professional and personal, followed by a moving tribute by her son Eric Davison.

Then the hilarious and talented Firestone brothers, Adam and Andrew, provided an entertaining and loving celebration of their mother Kate, while a slideshow rolled to complement their narration of her life. Kate’s remarks included a touching reflection of Debby, and heartfelt appreciation for her family and everyone in attendance.

Together, this year’s Men’s Night and Mother’s Day Luncheon, raised over $340,000, which will directly benefit VNHC’s mission to provide compassionate and trusted care for all.

Memory Wall at VNHC’s Serenity House

Because of You and Your Generosity!

Last year, you helped Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care provide over $2.1 million in charitable community care. Your support positively impacts the lives of patients and families in our community.

In honor of your gifts, let me share words of thanks from a few of our patients.

Carol, whose mom was able to die peacefully and comfortably in her own home, You all blessed our family abundantly and played an unforgettable role in allowing my mom to stay in her house which was our heart’s desire. Yes, there are tears running down my cheeks, but they are tears of thankfulness.

Patrick, who endured his third hip replacement, When I was released from the hospital, it was reassuring to know that VNHC was going to be there for me. It really gave me comfort knowing there was somebody there to help me with my recovery. Having VNHC by my side was wonderful. I really can’t thank you enough.

Edward, whose sister Sheri bravely faced an end-of-life diagnosis, It was a very hard time for our family as my sister passed through the last weeks of her life. But with your help we were able to turn it into a deeply moving and spiritual experience. We are so grateful for the care, support, and guidance we received from the Serenity House team.

Jim, a senior who was facing a two month recovery from painful foot surgery, With the help of equipment from Loan Closet, I was able to get around my house and even get out to be with friends. Your services are badly needed in this community. Thank you so much for being there.

We continue to be Santa Barbara’s only not for profit, locally based, medical in-home care provider. It is our pledge to be there with you when you or someone you know needs us most. Your support helps us provide direct assistance to patients and families facing health crises.

Thank you for letting us be your hearts and hands. Thank you for giving this community hope. Thank you for helping us be there when we are needed most.

With PERSONAL CARE SERVICES through Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care, we can live independently and safely at home.

They visited us and gave us a free assessment on how they could help us based on what we needed, and more importantly, what we wanted.

Together, we created a customized plan so PERSONAL CARE SERVICES knows us, understands us, and anticipates our needs. For a few days a week, they help us with housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and medication reminders.

Thanks to PERSONAL CARE SERVICES, we continue to live independently with dignity in our home...and we have quality time to play a good game of Scrabble.

Create Positive Experiences We had a positive experience with hospice several years ago with family. We were so impressed and touched with the entire service, so we decided to include VNHC in our estate plans.

– Bill Kimsey,

The Kimseys have expanded upon their philanthropy with VNHC in many ways, but among the most touching is their choice to include VNHC in their estate plans to share their life’s work and legacy.

They are passionate about helping to ensure that VNHC’s compassionate care is continued for future generations.

By including Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care in your estate plan now, you will help ensure a second century of compassionate care and service for future generations.

To learn more about the benefits of providing for VNHC in your will or estate plan, contact Rick Keith, Executive Director of the Foundation, at 805.690.6290, or rick.keith@vnhcsb.org The Kimseys
