A Message from the Executive Director

Therapy Playground Campaign continued from front page

continued on page 3

This unique playground was de-signed by a team of FCMC physical, occupational, speech and behavioral therapists with the goal of having each piece of equipment on the play-ground help meet the diverse needs of primarily children (toddlers to young teens), although residents in the Medical Center’s Long Term Care will also benefit from some of the equipment. Meeting the Needs The innovative equipment will accommodate those patients with a wide variety of developmental and behavioral disabilities to help them meet therapeutic goals, such as: climbing (physical therapy), gripping (occupational therapy) following directions and color identification (speech language) and expression of feelings (behav-ioral therapy). It will be especially helpful for children with little or no mobility who are unable to partici-pate in physical play. This play-ground will help children achieve their highest level of participation in

physical activity and will offer a co-hesive, natural environment where children are content and comfortable while they develop social skills at a level appropriate for them.Enhanced Therapy “This playground equipment has been intentionally selected to provide our therapists a resource to simulate normal movements and activities that children with motor and developmental delay have not yet mastered,” said Stephanie White, Director of Rehabilitative Services. “The therapists can use this equip-ment to facilitate basic components of movement and integrate those into activities that the children will perform every day. This type of set-ting provides opportunities for the therapist to introduce specific move-ments that can’t easily be simulated in a clinical environment. This area will enhance the benefit of therapy by providing a natural play space for the children to improve strength, coordination of movement, com-munication and social interaction skills.”

As I was attaching signage to the golf carts at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday morn-ing, September 13, I was muttering to myself that there was no way golfers would come out to play that morn-ing at our 21st annual golf tournament because it was pouring rain on a chilly, overcast morning. I was wrong. Amazingly wrong. Every golfer, 96 of them, showed up. Every cart went its separate way at 9:16 a.m. as golfers donned their rain gear, hydro grip rain golf gloves and had their coolers loaded with their favorite beverages. As they made pit stops to the club-house throughout the morning and early afternoon, some looked like drowned ducks, while others found out their repellent rain wear actually worked. There was not one grumbling soul. I greeted one team as they came in to reload their cooler. They looked cold and miserable. I thanked them for en-during the conditions. The one gentle-man with a rain-soaked hat simply smiled and said, “We’re here to have fun, support the cause and to make it a beautiful day.” Indeed, they did. Everyone of our participants, sponsors and volunteers made it a beautiful day. Their support enabled us to raise almost $25,000 to purchase lab equipment. ----Speaking of beautiful, that’s what our new therapy playground will be when it’s completed in a few weeks. Our maintenance staff has done a wonder-ful job of constructing the play area. This project would not have gotten off the ground if not for your financial support. The initial goal was set at $10,000, but it jumped to $17,000 after more discussions took place on equip-ment purchases and surface costs.It didn’t matter because you responded in an overwhelming way in a short amount of time...in less than 10 days,

InAction-Millers Give $25,000 Endowment To FCMC Foundation Scholarship Program

Director’s Message continued from page 2your gifts totaled close to $9,000. By the end of August, you had contrib-uted over $12,000 and by the end of September that number had grown to over $21,000. As of this writing, your gifts have totaled $25,838. It will allow us to add signage, and provide additional surface mainte-nance upkeep. ----You never know what good deed will be done at FCMC. In late Sep-tember I got a call from Deb Shef-field from Respiratory Care, asking if they could conduct a fundraiser - internal events like these are fun-neled through the Foundation. What I didn’t know at the time was the fundraiser was going to benefit the FCMC Foundation’s Scholarship program. They raised $3,005 with a raffle that featured lots of wonderful donated items. The story is on page 10. Blessings,

iving back is important to Clair and Dorothy Miller.The Millers recently donated

$25,000 to the Fulton County Medi-cal Center Foundation’s Scholarship Program. It is an endowment gift where only the accumulated interest will be used to award scholarships to help local students pursue their health care-related career under the FCMC Scholarship umbrella. “For 50-some years when we were in business, we provided training and taught a lot of fellows in the building industry,” said Clair. “We saw firsthand what good training meant to them; we also saw more often than not, those who needed some help (financially) ended up doing the best job because they were eager to learn.” The Fulton County Medical Center Foundation Scholarship Program offers scholarships (stipends) to

two different groups: graduating high school students enrolled in a Fulton County School or surrounding area; and to Fulton County and sur-rounding area college stu-dents. Both groups must be seeking a career in a health care-related field. Financial awards are made each spring after the application process is completed. Applications will be available online at fcmcpa.org/scholarship-program starting in February of 2015. “It is a wonderful example of a couple giving back to their com-munity through the medical field,” said Mike Straley, Executive Director of the Fulton County Medical Cen-ter Foundation. “It is the goal of the foundation’s scholarship program to

assist financially those who want to pursue a health care career with hopes of them returning to the area to serve our community. Mr. and Mrs. Miller recognized the importance of helping provide the financial means through our scholarship program.”

lair and Dorothy Miller wanted to see their chari-table giving at work for the

Fulton County Medical Center. “We donated money to the Foundation through a charitable gift annuity because we wanted to see our gift in action, plus we get an income from the interest they pay us and it’s tax deduct-ible,” said Clair Miller. “It’s an opportunity to help out the medi-cal center now, rather than down the road.” In addition to providing a gift (a donation of cash, stocks or other assets) to the Fulton County Medical Center Foundation and receiving fixed payments for life, you also receive these benefits

AAuxiliary Gives $20,000 For Canopy ProjectGift Will Benefit Long-Term Care Outside Entrance Way

InKind

Members of the Auxiliary are standing at the entrance of Long Term Care where they presented the FCMC Foundation with a gift of $20,000 for the LTC Canopy Project. Construction will begin next spring and will take approximately three months to complete.

Pedestrian and Vehicle Canopy will be constructed at the existing entrance of the Long Term Care Facility to give the occupants a means to protect them from the weather between the

vehicle drop-off point to the main building entrance. Here are some of the features:• The new walk will be protected with an Aluminum Canopy with a weather protection glazed screen at ‘weather’ side (1 side only).• The Pedestrian Canopy will provide protection out to the curb line where an additional Vehicle Canopy will be constructed.• A Vehicle Canopy will be constructed with a 14’ drop-off lane for Visitors and Ambulances. The Vehicle Canopy will provide 12’ clearance for high-rise design patient transfer vehicles. • Security lighting will be provided at the canopy.

we will pay her $1,020 each year for the remainder of her life, of which $755 is tax-free to her throughout her life expectancy. She’ll also receive a charitable deduction of $8,304 if she itemizes on her income taxes (assumes annual payments and a 2.4 percent charitable mid-term federal rate—deductions vary based on income earned). After her lifetime, the remaining amount is used to support our mission..

ALS Ice Bucket ChallengeRaises $613 at FCMC

OUTPOURING

Michelle Baker, Community Wellness Coordina-tor, was the first to take the ALS “Ice Bucket Challenge” at FCMC, but it soon made its rounds to ev-ery department at Fulton County Medical Center as each partici-pant or group had to challenge three other individuals or groups. The Ice Bucket Challenge, some-times called the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, was an activity involv-ing dumping a bucket of ice water on someone’s head to promote awareness of the disease amyo-trophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and encourage donations to research. It went viral on social media dur-ing July and August 2014. The FCMC Foundation contributed $100 to the event.

Pine Returns To Serve Community As PA At FCMC

InDepth

ustin Pine is home. And Ful-ton County Medical Center is where his heart is.

The Mercersburg, PA resident is a physician’s assistant for Drs. Mandak and Brady. He started his new career on September 2. “I get to do and see a lot of dif-ferent things,” said Pine, which makes his daily relationship with patients a welcoming sight. “I love the patient interaction. He graduated from James Buchanan High School in 2006. He earned his BS in Health Sci-ence from Lock Haven University in 2010. He graduated from East Stroudsburg in 2011 with a Master of Science and Clinical Exercise Physiology before returning to Lock Haven to earn his second master’s degree in Health Science

in 2014. He was a 2012 Russell C. McLu-cas, MD, Scholarship recipient. “I saw it advertised and was fortunate enough to get it...it was greatly ap-preciated because if you look at the student loan interest rate and mul-tiply that with amount I received, over 4 or 5 years it becomes a much larger amount.” He said he was aware the scholar-ship’s objective is to support local aspiring medical students with hopes of them returning to serve their community. “That’s been my goal since day one,” said Pine, “because I love the beautiful rural farming communities.” As a graduating high school senior, he wanted to be a pharma-cist, but then he got hooked on bio chemistry and wanted more.

“Once I started taking those classes I knew what my career path was going to be,” said Pine. “I did rotations with Dr. Brady and Dr. Mandak during my last year of college and they wanted me to continue my work with them, which I fully appreciated because Fulton County Medical Center has a lot going for it.”

Young Receives White Coat From Dr. Johnston Long-Time Physician Flies To WV To Be Part Of White Coat Ceremony

annah Young wanted Dr. Harry Johnston to ‘coat’ her, but didn’t want to ask

the Fulton County physician to make the 10-hour round trip to Lewisburg, West Virginia, where the West Virginia School of Os-teopathic Medicine is located. When Dr. Johnston heard about the request from Home Health Registered Nurse Kate Mellott, he did the only logical thing: he reached out to his friends at Hag-erstown Regional Airport.

“I talked to Dave Rider, who is the owner of Rider Jet Center,” said Dr. Johnston about the August 23 flight. “Dave and his son Ben flew me in a Mustang Jet to Lewisburg. We left Hagerstown at 7:30 a.m., and arrived there an hour later. While I got a brief tour of the school from the president of the college, and took part in the two-hour ceremony, Dave and Ben toured the famous Greenbrier Resort. We were back home by 1 p.m.” This was Dr. Johnston’s first time

White Coat Ceremony continued from page 6

Y ou see him walking the hallways daily. You see him doing lap after lap

after lap. You see him with his ear buds and hat. You see him always wearing a red shirt on Fridays. Do you know him? Gary Minnier is FCMC’s ver-sion of Forrest Gump. Instead of running for no particular reason, Minnier has chosen walking. And lots of it. “In November of 2012, I com-pleted my first laps here inside the (Fulton County) Medical Center,” said Minnier, whose ear-buds from his MP3 player belts out music from the 60s, 70s and 80s. “I wanted to do something that would get me out of the house, and I didn’t want to walk outside. Dr. Brady had talked to me a few months earlier about exercising, so I talked with Patti and Kim (in cardiopulmonary rehab) and they got me started with the Prime Program.” The Prime Program is a feder-ally-approved fitness and well-ness program.

The first few months it took Minnier at least 45 minutes to walk the nine laps equivalent to one mile. He said he wasn’t in very good shape. Going be-yond those nine laps wasn’t even a thought. Now, it’s an afterthought. “I do at least 30 laps,” said Min-nier, who begins with two warm-up laps before speeding it up. Often times, he will complement his walk-ing with some additional cardio work on the assorted machines in the cardio rehab fitness area, before resuming his walking with a few “cool down laps.” He once stepped out of his norm and completed 63 laps or seven miles. “Yeah, I completed 30 and decided I was bored, so I did 34 more,” said Minnier, who drives (instead of walking) about a mile from his house to FCMC. On Fridays he adds to his step count by leaving FCMC to go grocery shopping, while wearing his red shirt. “I’m retired from the

Air Force, but regardless of affilia-tion, ‘Red Shirt Fridays’ is a way to show support to our troops,” said Minnier. The retired 64-year-old father of three and grandfather of nine likes the camaraderie he experiences within the walls of FCMC. “Friend-ly people to gab with...beautiful facility that’s air conditioned...I couldn’t ask for much more,” said Minnier shrugging his shoulders. “I walk for the heck of it, really.” Walk, Gary, walk.

Walk, Gary, WalkMinnier Walks LapsInside FCMC Halls“for the heck of it.”

‘white coating’ a student. “I’ve heard and read about it, but never had the opportunity to participate in a ceremony. I was impressed with everything about it and the school.” The white coat has served as the pre-eminent symbol of physicians for over 100 years. A child’s earliest memory of a doctor is the person in the white coat. Patients expect to be treated in doctors’ offices, hos-pitals and clinics by an individual wearing white. At virtually every medical school, the first symbolic act is the “White Coat Ceremony” originated by Arnold P. Gold, MD.

This is the ceremonial “cloaking” of a doctor-to-be as she or he embarks on a medical career. Young is a 2014 Russell C. McLu-cas Scholarship recipient. She gradu-ated from Bucknell with undergrad-uate degrees in Biology and Spanish. She met Dr. Johnston at the scholar-ship reception in June. He offered Hannah the opportunity to shadow him in his practice. She shadowed him for three weeks before enrolling at school. “Hannah is doing well academi-cally and will do some additional shadowing in my office,”said Dr. Johnston.

Golfers Endure Soggy Weather To Offer Support

ain didn’t deter 96 golfers from participating in the 21st Annual Fulton County

Medical Center Foundation Golf Tournament on Sept. 13 at Great Cove Golf Course. The tournament featured over $2500 in cash and prizes and benefitted new lab equipment, specifically the Nanosphere System, which enables clinicians to rapidly identify and treat bacteria and viruses responsible for some of the most complex, costly and deadly infectious diseases. “Fulton County Medical Center is rubbing arms with Johns Hopkins Hospital and Cleveland Clinic with their commitment to this piece of equipment,” said Rodney Sinchak, Clinical Sales Specialist of Nano-sphere, as he addressed the golfers prior to them teeing off in the morn-ing. “Nanosphere is a life saver.”The overall winning team of Jim Truax, John Mixell, Ron Maslanik and Ron Blair carded a 58. The foursome of Toby Souders, Foster Earley, Clark Brant and Buzz Car-mack was second with a 59, while the team of Brett and Lisa Cornelius

and Carl and Craig Paylor was third with a 60. The second flight winners were: Troy and Karen Buterbaugh and Fred and Dwight Skiles (65, first); Bill Dovey, Alan Loux, Edward Shin and Bob Nel-son (65, second); and John King, Derek Bollman, Mark Appleby and Mark Brown (66, third). The third flight winners were: Del and Karen Martin and Randy and Lois Gayman (70, first); Eric Baines, Allison Fraker and Eric and Delrae Hagstrom (70, second); Todd and Scott Alexander, Alan Dore, Wayne Bender (71, third). “We could not have had a worse day weather-wise, but the golfers – everyone one of them - turned it into a beautiful event by support-ing our cause,” said Mike Straley, FCMC Foundation Executive Director. “Our volunteers, espe-cially the ones out on the course, got soaked, but they didn’t back off from their responsibilities. It is a tribute to everyone – golfers, volunteers and our many sponsors – for making this another success-ful tournament.”

Jim Truax and John Mixell (right) teamed with Ron Maslanik and Ron Blair to win the 21st Annual FCMC Foundation Golf Tournament at Great Cove Golf Course.

Over 70 prizes were drawn at random in late October as part of Respiratory Care’s monthly cel-ebration that culminated with the Oct. 24 raffle. Proceeds of the raffle were desig-nated for the FCMC Foundation’s Scholarship Program. The event raised $3,005. “We are pleased to assist the Foundation’s scholarship efforts,” said Deb Sheffield, Respiratory Therapist and Cardiopulmonary Manager. “Our hope is that we have graduating high school stu-dents or current college students who want to to pursue a career in respiratory care and these funds

can be used to assist them with their education.” Sheffield, Cindy O’Herrick (Respi-ratory Therapist) and Shawn Chil-cote (Respiratory Therapist) led the department’s efforts by reaching out to the business community near and afar to secure a myriad of prizes, ranging from computer equipment and office products, gift cards and overnight accomodations. “Deb Sheffield and her team sur-prised the Foundation by designat-ing these funds for the Scholarship Program,” said Mike Straley, Execu-tive Director of the FCMC Founda-tion. “We are truly blessed to have so many caring people who go above and beyond the call of duty.”
