According to the Trauma Center Association o

America (TCAA), traumatic injuriessuch asmotorcycle and car crashes, assaults and alls

rom signifcant heightsare the cause o nearly

170,000 deaths each year in the United States.

That accounts or 400 deaths each daymany

o which can be prevented. In its continuing

commitment to the community to provide

excellent medical care, Research Medical Center

has been named a Level One Trauma Center,

the highest level designated by the Missouri

Department o Health. This designation reects

Research Medical Centers dedication to provide advanced lie-saving emergency and trauma care

24 hours a day, seven days a week.

To become a Level One Trauma Center, Research Medical Centerwhich is celebrating its 125th

year o serving the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area had to meet stringent regulations and

each member o the trauma team, including physicians, surgeons and nurses, met strict education

requirements.

H. Scott Bjerke, MD, FACS, medical director o the Trauma Program, says trauma is 100 percent

preventable and Research Medical Center will expand community education regarding trauma

prevention. Trauma is the leading cause o death among children and adults below the age o

45, says Dr. Bjerke. According to the TCAA, traumatic injuries are the leading cause o disability

among Americans.

Research Medical Center has fve trauma surgeons on the Level One Trauma Center team, plus

two orthopedic traumatologists who can provide care or complex pelvic ractures. Its not oten

that a designated Level One Trauma Center has a specially trained orthopedic traumatologist, let

alone two, says Carla Sage, Trauma Center service director.

Research Medical Center also provides education support to outlying rural acilities and local

Emergency Medical Service providers. These eorts will enhance our mission o ensuring that

medical proessionals receive optimal education to maximize our trauma care, says Dr. Bjerke.

Kevin J. Hicks, chie executive ofcer at Research Medical Center, says that the Level One Trauma

Center designation aligns with the hospitals leadership in comprehensive care or patients. The

Level One Trauma Center is a valuable resource to the community that is available all the time,

he says.

Kansas City nurses cared or Joplins wounded ater a deadly tornado

charged through the Missouri town, leaving miles o destruction.

I had never seen as many people with so many dierent wounds, said

Myra Merritt, RN, BSN, a critical care nurse at Research Medical Center.

There were just so many people admitted rom the tornado.

Merritt joined a team o nurses rom Research and a dozen more rom St.

Marys Medical Center and North Kansas City Hospital or our days o

service at Joplins Freeman Health System May 24-27. They slept on cots in

the hospitals conerence room and washed with bottled water.

I got to know my ellow nurses, Merritt said. We got very close. We ate

together, we slept together.

Freeman Health System needed critical care nurses to help with a surge o patients the first week ollowing the May 22 tornado that

touched down in Joplin leaving hundreds wounded. Merritt said by the time she arrived, the acility had admitted more than 375 tornado

victims on top o existing patients and recently transerred patients rom St. Johns Regional Medical Center, severely damaged by the

storm. Merritt said she elt pulled to go.

I would just hope that i that happened in Kansas City, they would do the same thing, she said. Thats exactly what nursing is about.

This is where I needed to go.

Merritt admitted patients,

perormed histories, started

IVs and gave tetanus

shots. She watched a

steady stream o patients

arrive daily with crush

injuries, head injuries, skull

ractures, broken bones,

and cuts and bruises head

to toe rom flying debris.

One patient had surgery to

remove a board impaled

in his back, she said, while

others arrived with two

black eyes or multiple

abrasions. Patients needed

stitches, staples and surgeries. By her last day, patients werearriving with inections rom wounds improperly cared or or

neglected altogether.

It was Merritts first time helping in a disaster, and she was

glad to go. Our hospital was very supportive o us going

down there, she said.

Research gave the nurses a heros send-o and a hospital-wide

welcome home. It was very nice to see they were thinking o

us while we were down there, she said.

Merritt said when she wasnt at the bedside or filling in

anywhere the hospital needed her, she and her bunkmatesexplored the town. She saw trees uprooted rom the ground,

crumbled houses, cars crushed into a giant balls o metal, cars

on roos, cars wrapped on light posts and roos stacked two

and three deep on the ground. It was just like a bomb went

o, she said. Something just blew up.

But most proound, Merritt

said, was watching people

walking in their ormer

homes, debris beneath

their eet, searching or

possessions or pets. It was

just pretty sad, she said.Everyone wanted to tell

their story. I just listened,

let them know that were

there or them.

Another group rom

Research arrived in Joplin

as the frst wave let.

Merritt said the hospital will continue to send nurses as long

as help is needed. She said she would even return. This is our

community. This is our state, she said. The TV doesnt even

compare to what is out there in real lie.

Merritt said she will never orget the patients who thanked

her repeatedly, nor will she orget the day she stepped o the

bus in Joplin. Sirens screamed, warning o another tornado.

Patients were already coping with post traumatic stress, she

said, and now there was another wave o storms.

The people were very scared, she said. It took a lot to calm

them down.

Merritt said the best thing she did at the hospital was listen.

Let them tell their story she said. Thats something that

nurses tend to do. Listen to the patient and listen to what theyhave to say.

Lynnette Hayes, BSN, clinical manager or cardiac telemetry

at Research Medical Center, was part o Merritts team. Hayes

said Research has a strong tradition o community service

in Kansas City, engaging in local health airs and undraisers

or the American Heart Association. She said the nurses who

stayed home to work at Research deserve recognition, as they

covered or the Joplin teams, making it a hospital-wide eort.

It was just a very easy transition to Joplin, she said. It elt

like the right thing to do. We did pretty much whatever they

asked.

Hayes spent a air amount o time distributing bottled water

throughout the hospital. Bottled water was used or bathing

patients, drinking and hand washing, she said. Like Merritt,

she listened.

They needed to process the event, she said. Its a huge

healing process. Its going to be a very long emotional process.

This is Where I Needed to Go (cnt fm pg. 4)

2011 Country Music Half Marathon

Keep an eye on that guy in the Employee AdvisoryGroup who says hell look into a new idea to helpHCAs Hope Fund. Next thing you know, hell have

you and your coworkers running a marathon.

At least thats how it will play out i the investigatorin question is Rick Jonardi, HCAs director ointernal communications and a longtime runner.Given that the Country Music Marathon happensalmost outside his ofce window every year, he saysit was easy to imagine the possibilities o employeesbuilding teams together, improving their ownpersonal health, and running to collect unds tobeneft a great cause, the HCA Hope Fund.

The initial question was, Would HCA consider

sponsoring employees in this annual event?, whichis one o the largest races in the U.S., Jonardi recalled. The answer was absolutely, and Team HCA was born.

That was 2009, and the team has grown in size and scope ever since.That frst year, the group was mostly Nashville-areaemployees, while a companywide rollout last year ballooned participant numbers to more than 550, and 2011s tally came in at540. In three years o running in the event,Team HCA has raised more than $314,000 or the Hope Fund.

And those fgures are only hal the story.Teams nowadays include walkers who are competing in the hal marathon, as well as thehard-core runners who have been onboard rom the outset. And many are doing it as part o their acilitys wellness program, sothey are raising money while also improving their own ftness.

Thats the case at Research Medical Center (RMC) in Kansas City, Mo., where team captain Cheri Hampton has turned her HRposition into a cheerleading platorm or Team HCA.

As the benefts person, I knew about the opportunity. In 2008 I began walking or ftness and was looking or new ways to dosomething in pursuit o a healthy liestyle,Hampton said. I wanted to do the Country Music Marathon, but not alone, so at ourbenefts meetings I began reaching out to people. We were determined not to let it happen again without representation rom ouracility. I was going to go alone i I had to, but some people picked up the challenge and now were the Kansas City Cruisers.

The 15-member gang rom RMC represents all areas o the hospital, rom the med-surg unit all the way to rehab and transplants.Theyve worked out at the hospitals ftness club, where a personal trainer has chipped in time to help them prepare, and havealso mapped out a hal-mile walking trail within the hospital thats open to employees and visitors alike.

In a hal hour, you can get a couple o miles in,Hampton said. Were doing that, using the treadmill and going outside in niceweather.We all came in at dierent levels, but everybody has gotten into it big time!

All but one team member will be walking the hal marathon, and many are olding this eort in to a local Biggest Loserinitiative.

We are fnding multiple ways to support ourselves in our ftness programs, Hampton said. And were also doing a lot oundraisers or the Hope Fund its all come together very organically.

The Cruisers had better keep an eye out or the team rom Rose Medical Center in Denver, Colo., where the buildup or itssecond year o participation has been intense.

Stng pticiptin in the Cnt Msic Mthn bsts ellness n Hpe Fn giving

2011 Cnt Msic Hlf Mthn shville,

Kimberly Cocos (center), a registered nurse on 3 North, was one of 13 employees

from Research Medical Center who participated in the event.

RESEARCH MEDCA CETER A PUCATO FOR EMPOYEES jUY 2011 9

Last year we had our runners, so we continued to recruit,said Sue Hobza, director o the physical medicine andrehabilitation department at Rose and the team captain. Itgets our team working toward a goal, both individually andcollectively. Its also an opportunity to demonstrate to theemployees how much we value them and how important itis to take care o our own through the Hope Fund. Hobzaalso applauds how the marathon provides a challenge thatcan spread out over many months, allowing or both ongoingexercise and undraising campaigns.

Thats one o the best things, she said. Having the physicalchallenge o preparing and participating in the marathon orhal marathon, but also the challenge to raise money or theHope Fund. Our hospital has a strong commitment to thecommunity and a long history o community service, so weorganize teams several times throughout the year to participate

in other events.The whole idea is that we look or causes that employees are passionate about, organize a team, undraise andbuild camaraderie all along the way.

The act that many participants are walking, rather than trying to win a running race, and ocusing on their own well-being aspart o their participation is encouraging to Jonardi.

The true spirit o being a member o Team HCA is to embrace health,help and hope, he said. Most o our participants arent seasoned runners;theyre coming together to run and walk, or serve as volunteers, in the spirito ulflling HCAs overall mission. Folks do this because they want to betterthemselves and help others at the same time, especially colleagues and theiramilies, who because o dire circumstances, are in fnancial need.

The participants eel the same way about the Hope Fund, and say all the workis well worth the eort.

This gives us the chance to help someone else in this building, or anotherbuilding, said Hampton. Everybody here loves the opportunity to providethat kind o help.

Rose concurs, said Hobza, adding that the idea o so many hospital teamscoming together rom around the country to be one single HCA team is apowerul experience, and makes you eel proud to be part o HCA.
