A Report of Service to Our Community - 2010

Every day, Detroiter Linda Goings cares for her bed-bound mother who has a feeding tube and also for her son who lost his leg to cancer. Her other son, who was blind, recently died. Still, Linda has a smile on her face. She’s a remarkable woman with a positive attitude and an easy-going personality.

In order to take care of her debilitated mother and her ill children, Linda had to quit her job. She became a full-time caretaker for her loved ones, but she neglected one person—herself. After not seeing a doctor because of her financial situation, family issues and not taking time for herself even though she was diabetic, Linda’s health declined. Her blood sugar levels skyrocketed due to the diabetes.

A television story about the opening of Covenant Community Health Center in Royal Oak changed Linda’s life. When Linda heard about the clinic near her Detroit home, she made an appointment with Marisa Abbo, D.O., who diagnosed the sores on her leg as diabetic ulcers.

Linda now sees Dr. Abbo regularly at Covenant. Recently she was admitted

to Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak for a blood clot.

“I know that doctors have huge patient loads, but I receive personal phone calls from Dr. Abbo,” says Linda. “She also gave me the knowledge of where to go for more assistance.”

For Linda, Covenant became more than a place to receive health care. Covenant became a support system, a medical home and a community for Linda. Covenant professionals help Linda fill out the proper forms so she can qualify for free medicine through a patient assistance program run by pharmaceutical companies.

As a nonprofit organization and federally qualified health center, Covenant Community Care Inc., which includes offices in Southwest Detroit and Royal Oak, partners with Beaumont Health System to provide uninsured and underinsured patients access to primary and specialty medical care. Covenant also provides care for insured patients.

Covenant Community Health Center in Royal Oak opened in November 2010 because of a growing need in the area. According to an analysis of census data by the Brookings Institute, people living

at the poverty level in Oakland County rose by nearly 14,000 or 13.7 percent from 2001 to 2009. By working with Beaumont, patients in Oakland and Wayne counties are able to get the routine care they need.

Whether helping her mother with her feeding tube, assisting her amputee son get around the house or recalling how she described the sunset to her blind son, Linda is able to carry out her work with a smile knowing she’s loved. She is currently pursuing a degree in health care administration and is on course to graduate this December. To the team at Covenant and to Dr. Abbo, “Linda is an unsung hero and a truly humble soul.”

Although sunny blue skies set the scene, the day was all about the color purple for Ali Plummer. She received her new, custom-fit bike at Beaumont Children’s Hospital sixth annual Bike Day funded by Children’s Miracle Network.

Since 2004, Beaumont pediatric rehabilitation therapists have volunteered to hold annual bike days to provide families with the rare opportunity to have their child professionally evaluated for a customized bike free of charge.

Nearly 50 bikes are given as gifts to children with special needs, who are recommended by their physical therapist, occupational therapist or physician. Insurance doesn’t cover the cost for the bike or the specialized evaluation. These custom-fitted bikes can range from $160 to $3,500, and can even reach $6,000 for larger ones.

Ali was born prematurely with cerebral palsy and a seizure disorder that leaves her dizzy and causes balance issues. Since birth, she has experienced tight leg muscles that require botox injections, leaving her in leg casts for several weeks at a time.

“The big thing with Ali has been balance,” say Ali’s mom, Cheryl Plummer.

With all the out-of-pocket expenses for medical needs like orthopedic leg braces, having a bike to meet Ali’s needs wasn’t a possibility until now.

“This is such an incredible gift on so many levels,” says Cheryl.

Before her purple bike, Ali’s friends would come to her house and walk their bikes to the park with Ali so she wouldn’t feel bad. “Now I can ride with my friends to the park and it feels awesome,” says Ali.

“It’s nice because she will be more like a normal kid,” says Cheryl. This new bike also gives her room to grow because it’s a regular mountain bike minimally adjusted with specialized stabilizing wheels.

Deborah Adsit, supervisor of pediatric rehabilitation at Beaumont Children’s Hospital, says bike riding offers numerous physical and psychosocial benefits to children including strengthening muscles and participation in age-appropriate activities. “These bikes build confidence and provide children with independence never experienced before,” says Deborah.

The “aha” moment for students at Tyrone Elementary School in Harper Woods was the black lung.

Family Medicine physicians Azrael Paredes, M.D., and Iman Zeidan, M.D., inflated two lungs—one pink and healthy, the other black and diseased for the finale of the Tar Wars tobacco cessation program. The pink lung rose, while the black lung remained limp.

Teacher Brenda Crane seized the opportunity to say to the fifth-graders, “When someone asks you to smoke, remember this visual and say no.”

This educational program, developed by the American Academy of Family Physicians, promotes a tobacco-free lifestyle, shows students how smoking and tobacco use harms their health and provides tools to make healthy choices.

Students watch a slide show about the physical effects of smoking, such as wrinkles and aging. Then they participate in activities like running in place, while breathing through a straw to experience how it feels to have diseased lungs. The free, 50-minute session also teaches about handling peer pressure and the pitfalls of tobacco advertising where images are often enticing.

Beaumont Health System partners with CARE of Macomb, an agency that promotes empowerment of individuals and families through relationships with community-based organizations, to present Tar Wars.

“Prevention education in the elementary years is an essential element in raising drug-free kids,” says Anne Nearhood, of CARE of Macomb. Anne gives all students a pre- and post-test to measure the learning process. Many students are surprised to learn that they are harmed when others smoke nearby.

When asked to describe smokers during this interactive program, the students responded: “Short of breath, coughing, yellow fingers, smelly clothes.”

The best testimonial is from students like Matthew Tate. When confronted with a black lung he replied, “I’m never, ever, ever, going to smoke.”

Building a healthier tomorrowAt Beaumont, we’re committed to investing in health, wellness and prevention programs that add to the quality of life for our patients.

The process starts with our physicians and health care providers educating elementary school children, like those participating in the Tar Wars program, and continues with teen mentorships like the Oak Park Business and Education Alliance (OPBEA), an organization preparing students for success in college and the workplace through internships at institutions like Beaumont.

Our commitment to health education and awareness is paramount, whether it’s a blood pressure screening at a local health fair or training the next generation of doctors and nurses in our surgical learning center and operating rooms.

from our education programs like Tar Wars to our Sharing & Caring network for breast cancer patients to our Laryngectomee Club for those who need to learn a new way to speak after larynx-removal surgery, Beaumont supports and educates people in the community.

Beaumont treats everyone with dignity and respect

“I went to Beaumont because of its reputation.”

John Wynn, 25, dreaded business lunches, because every time he swallowed food it just wouldn’t go down. “The feeling was horrendous,” says John. “You can’t talk, you can’t interact, and it certainly doesn’t make for the best social hour.”

As his condition deteriorated, he couldn’t even sip water without vomiting.

He called his mom in Ohio, who is a nurse, and she told him to immediately go to the hospital.

“I live in Warren, and I went to Beaumont because of its reputation.”

The diagnosis was achalasia, a disorder of the esophagus that prevents normal swallowing. When the doctors informed him that he needed surgery, he only thought of one thing: Money. “At that time, the cost was more important to me than my health.”

A recent graduate from the Center for Creative Studies, his father’s insurance carrier stopped his coverage when he completed his degree.

His two part-time jobs hardly paid for his living expenses. Without insurance and living in a city without family, John was depressed and anxious, but after meeting with the financial assistance team at Beaumont, he realized there was help.

“They answered many of my questions, and I felt comforted.” He and his mother are impressed with the physicians and the nursing care. “Being uninsured, I can’t believe I was treated so well.”

Throughout the ordeal, barely eating before surgery and not having a big appetite afterwards, John lost 50 pounds. At first he was so weak that going to the hospital required an exorbitant amount of energy. “Some days my only accomplishment was going to an appointment at the hospital.” At Beaumont he enjoyed looking at the art collection. To him, the art was calming and provided nourishment.

Today John is healthy, committed to staying in Detroit and pursuing his art career.

“I was so sick. I had no life, and Beaumont became a symbol of hope.”

Beaumont provides medical care and assistance to the uninsuredBeaumont Health System has a long tradition of healing in the community and helping patients without insurance. In our struggling economy, many families find themselves without health care. Beaumont believes that all patients should be treated with dignity and respect regardless of their financial circumstances.

As part of our commitment to patients in need, we help them navigate the health care system and gain access to the programs that offer benefits such as Michigan’s MIChild program, Medicaid and Medicare.

Beaumont partners with many non-profit organizations to help those who are in need. We work with Covenant Community Care, Inc., providing primary health care to the uninsured and underinsured of Southwest Detroit and the greater Royal Oak area. (See cover story.)

Beaumont also works with the S.A.y Clinic in Detroit that serves the homeless (see page 15) and provides free care at the Newton Health Center, a school-based clinic funded by Beaumont at the Clara W. Rutherford Academy in Detroit.

It’s Tuesday and Audrey Perry, 83, is playing bridge with her friends at the Troy Community Center. She confides she is slowing down due to her arthritis. “I have trouble moving around, and I no longer drive, but my tongue works just fine,” says the Troy resident laughing.

She shows off her purple nail polish and admits she is a bit disappointed in the color. Then, she switches the conversation from fashion to psychology and talks about how beneficial it is for seniors to leave the house.

“You don’t have to be a couch potato,” she says.

This Salvation Army volunteer, former teacher and psychologist credits the Troy Medi-Go Plus transportation system for giving her the opportunity to socialize with friends and keep her doctor appointments.

Troy Medi-Go Plus provides transportation for Troy residents age 60 and older and for people with disabilities age 18 and older. The program offers rides for medical services, community center activities, shopping destinations, nursing home visits, work and educational trips. The cost is one dollar each way.

“Troy Medi-Go Plus provides vital transportation services for older adults and those with disabilities who may otherwise not get the medical care they need,” says Ron Ristau, president of the board of directors, Troy Medi-Go Plus. “As a private non-profit organization we deliver the most service for the least cost, while always being sensitive to the special needs of our passengers,” he adds.

Beaumont Health System is one of the financial sponsors of the program. Audrey is thankful for the door-to-door service. “It’s convenient, and it’s a safety factor in the bad weather.”

In addition to riding the bus to the Troy Community Center, Audrey also takes the bus to her Beaumont physicians. She enjoys aquatic therapy at the Beaumont Health Center and travels to the Rose Cancer Center for leukemia treatment.

She might be slowing down physically, but she is as energetic as ever.

Audrey has made so many friends at the Troy Community Center. She is even giving the transportation dispatcher, Eugenia, piano lessons.

“I love music and I’m young-at-heart.” To Audrey, “Age is just a number.”

For older adults, Beaumont is a valuable resourcefor seniors, health needs become more critical. The U.S. Census Bureau notes that Michigan has more than 1.2 million seniors, and Oakland County is experiencing an unprecedented growth in the older adult population. According to “Preparing for the Silver Tsunami,” a report of the Oakland County Senior Planning Coalition, the number of seniors will double by 2030, representing 25 percent of the population.

That’s why Beaumont Health System has innovative geriatric services

dedicated to serving older adults and their families.

Our Geriatric Assessment Program develops individualized treatment plans that address patients’ medical, functional and emotional needs. Beaumont’s Older Adult Services assists by providing information on programs and services within Beaumont Health System as well as in the community. for questions, call 1-800-328-2241.

“Seniors don’t have to be couch potatoes.”

Someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds, and strokes are the third leading cause of death in our nation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Beaumont is a leader in clinical trials where the outcome of the research – such as how to prevent strokes – can immediately be applied to patient care.

Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak was one of six Michigan hospitals to participate in the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy vs. Stenting Trial, called CREST, one of the largest randomized stroke prevention trials ever. CREST compared the safety and effectiveness of carotid endarterectomy, a surgical procedure to clear blocked blood flow and considered the gold standard prevention treatment, with carotid artery stenting, a newer and less invasive procedure that involves threading a stent and expanding a small protective device in the artery to widen the blocked area and capture any dislodged plaque.

Beaumont was the top Michigan site for patient enrollment. The clinical trial, involving 2,502 participants, took place at 117 centers in the United States and Canada over a nine-year period. The trial was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

In CREST, approximately half of the patients had recent symptoms due to carotid disease, such as minor stroke, indicating a high risk for future stroke. The other half did not have symptoms, but were found to have narrowing of the carotid artery.

The overall safety and efficacy of the two procedures was largely the same, with equal benefit for both men and women and for patients who previously had a stroke and for those who had not. However, the study found that the age of the patient made a difference. For patients age 69 and younger, stenting results were slightly better and for patients older than 70, surgery was slightly superior to stenting.

“This is an important study. It confirms the safety and effectiveness of carotid artery stenting in selected patients with carotid artery disease,” says O. William Brown, M.D., Beaumont principal investigator and director of vascular surgery. “The study also confirms that of all treatment options, carotid endarterectomy is associated with the lowest incidence of stroke, but it’s important that treatment be individualized for each patient,” he adds. According to Dr. Brown, Beaumont Health System offers both options by highly qualified vascular specialists.

Beaumont, along with the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinc, has been recently chosen for a new research study. Beaumont Health System will be one of only 25 institutions across the country to treat complex aortic aneurysms with a brand-new minimally invasive technique.

Beaumont is on the forefront of research that improves patient care.

Investing in new ways to improve patient careResearch and education are core missions at Beaumont. As not-for-profit hospitals, a significant part of our revenue is reinvested in hundreds of studies and clinical trials that seek to find new ways to detect and treat life-threatening illness and improve the quality of care for our patients.

Educating the next generation of physicians is another way Beaumont cares for the community. The new Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine’s inaugural class began in August, 2011. “Our involvement in the medical school will help to ensure that as our population ages, there will be an adequate supply of physicians to care for Michigan residents,” says Ananias Diokno, M.D., chief medical officer, Beaumont Health System.

The event featured hundreds of live performances on multiple stages, a juried fine art show and food from several local eateries.

The $3 admission fee supported 12 regional non-profit groups, including the HOPE Center, part of Beaumont Children’s Hospital’s Center for Human Development. “Ford Arts, Beats & Eats is extremely grateful for the sponsorship collaboration with Beaumont,” says Jon Witz, producer of the event. “Beaumont has offered and provided many in-kind resources including staff and materials for first aid, parking, promotion to employees and other critical resources, which combined make Beaumont one of the festival’s top sponsors.”

Heartfelt DonationsBeaumont Health System and the American Heart Association have teamed up to help save lives by placing automated external defibrillators, or AEDs, in key community locations. An AED is an emergency medical device that delivers an electrical charge to a person who is experiencing a life-threatening heart attack. In 2010, AED devices were donated to the Bon Brae Center in St. Clair Shores, the Center Line Community Center and the Athletic Stadium of Romeo Community Schools.
