TO OURCOMMUNITIES
Welcome

Fall is here and the holiday season is right around the corner. As I reflect on the past year and look forward to 2014, we
have many things to be grateful for — both as a community and as a hospital.
Our community is fortunate to have a loyal team of medical professionals who strive daily to provide quality care. From physicians on our medical staff to our clinical and non-clinical employees, the MMSC team is dedicated to meeting the healthcare needs of the communities we serve.
As you know, the world of healthcare is rapidly changing. We are making significant investments to respond to these changes, including technology enhancements and a facilities modernization plan. Our team continues to evaluate a number of potential building options that will help strengthen the level of care both at the hospital and at our clinic locations.
MMSC is also making investments in another important area: People. A number of talented individuals have recently joined our team over the past several months. Among these is Alan Willis, MMSC’s new Director of Surgical Services. He is currently leading efforts to relocate our Ambulatory Surgery Center to a newly remodeled area closer to our operating rooms. The new Pre-Operative Unit will improve patient flow and ultimately help us deliver better care for in-patient and out-patient surgical procedures.
We are also pleased to welcome new physicians to the MMSC Clinics, a new Chief Financial Officer, new department leaders, physician assistants and several new specialists who now see patients in Marshalltown.
As we prepare to celebrate our 100th Anniversary in 2014, MMSC remains focused on providing quality patient care. It’s a responsibility that we take seriously, and a tradition that we are proud to carry forward in our next century of service.

Whatisahospitalist?In the same way that cardiologists specialize
in the care of heart patients, hospitalists are medical physicians who specialize in the care of hospitalized patients.
The hospitalist assumes the care of the patient while keeping the patient’s primary care physician informed of progress, procedures and medications. MMSC has partnered with Cogent HMG to provides these services.
Howwillahospitalistworkwithme?Together with your primary care physician
(PCP), the hospitalist plans and manages treatment throughout your inpatient stay to help you achieve the best outcome possible.
Once admitted to MMSC, the hospitalist coordinates a course of treatment during your stay, including ordering diagnostic imaging studies and lab work. They will review all tests and adjust care based on the test results. Throughout your stay, the hospitalist will provide updates on your plan of care.
Your hospitalist will work with you and your family to personally answer and discuss any questions you may have about your illness, medications or other diagnostic and treatment processes.
Howwillahospitalist knowmymedicalhistory?
Your hospitalist will spend extra time learning about you. At admission, if your care is assigned to a hospitalist, they will contact your PCP to review your patient history and review any notes in regards to your current condition. The hospitalist will also review any past medical records and gather information from you and your family.
Workingincoordination withyourprimaryphysician
Your hospitalist will be in contact with your primary physician throughout your hospital stay. At the time of discharge, the hospitalist will update your physician on care received including any prescriptions given upon discharge, further treatment recommendations or recommended follow-up care. When your discharge instructions are reviewed with you, you may be given an appointment for follow-up care with your primary physician, or advised to call your physician to schedule an appointment.
Patients return to their primary care physicians for follow-up care after being discharged from the hospital. With a hospitalist program in place, primary care physicians can dedicate their time to seeing patients in the office for non-acute care and health management.

“I don’t need to go to the doctor because I’m not sick.” As a provider, I hear this statement often during my day. Part of
primary care and having a regular healthcare provider is to reduce your risk for chronic diseases. Most insurance companies will cover an annual wellness visit. The doctor will do a risk assessment to establish a personalized prevention plan for you. During the visit your healthcare provider will most likely take your blood pressure, heart rate, height/ weight and include a physical exam.
“But why do I need to see you when I feel fine?” There are a number of health diseases that don’t necessarily have symptoms. Hypertension is known as a silent killer for a reason. The number one killer
in the U.S. is heart disease and stroke. About one out of three U.S. adults — 31.3 percent — has high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure and kidney disease.
Other conditions that are of concern are diabetes and obesity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that diabetes affects 25.8 million people and 7 million are undiagnosed. This is also a major risk factor for heart disease. According to the CDC about one-third of U.S. adults (33.8 percent) are obese. Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer.
Your healthcare provider will also look for other
Everyone knows this
famous saying: “An

exam is an even better
approach to improving
your overall health.

risk factors for certain diseases, like cancer. Cancer is a leading cause of death, and your healthcare provider can look into age-appropriate screening for certain types of cancer. Some examples of age-appropriate screenings your doctor might recommend include colon, cervical and breast cancers. Your provider will also determine how often you need to come in for screening tests.
Once the provider knows your risk for certain diseases, they will come up with a plan to modify or decrease your risk for them through health education and counseling.
The annual wellness exam is meant to focus on lifestyle interventions to reduce health risks and promote self management and wellness, including weight loss, physical activity, smoking cessation and nutrition.

2013NationalPinkGloveDanceVideoCompetition
Ma r s h a l l t o w n Medical & Surgical
Center, in partnership with Marshalltown Community College instructor Steve Muntz and class, is competing in the 2013 Medline Pink Glove Dance Video Competition with the goal of winning a $25,000 donation to a breast cancer charity of their choice. The video features participants dancing and wearing pink-colored exam gloves to raise awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer through mammograms.
Hundreds of hospitals and healthcare organizations from across the country have entered the 2013 competition. Voting runs through Nov. 8, and winners will be announced Nov. 15. The second place winner will receive $10,000 and the third place winner will receive a $5,000 donation.
“We’re so excited to be part of what has become a major national competition,” said Liz Zuercher, Vice President of Administrative Services. “Putting together this video has been a labor of love for all of us. It was a fun project to do, but our real goal is to raise awareness for early detection of breast cancer, research and prevention.”
A year ago, Katy Perry’s hit song “Part of Me” was featured in the winning Pink Glove Dance video submitted by Lexington Medical Center
in West Columbia, South Carolina. The medical center won the competition with 14,921 votes.
Medline, the creators of the YouTube sensation Pink Glove Dance and makers of the pink exam gloves, has sponsored Pink Glove Dance video competitions in 2011 and
2012, in which more than 80,000 have participated. The competition has quickly become a national social media phenomenon with the videos generating millions of views and votes.
The original Pink Glove Dance video premiered in November 2009 and featured 200 Portland, Oregon hospital workers wearing pink gloves and dancing in support of breast cancer awareness and prevention. Today the video has more than 13.8 million views on YouTube and has inspired hundreds of pink glove dance videos and breast cancer awareness events across the country.
To watch MMSC’s video and cast your vote, visit http://www.pinkglovedance.com/videos/2013-video-contest/marshalltown-medical/. Voting runs through Nov. 8.
Marshalltown Medical & Surgical Center partnered with Marshalltown Community College broadcast students and MCC instructor Steve Muntz on production and editing of the project.

Stroke Awareness
10
MMSC Journeys Fall2013
WhatisStroke?A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain either bursts, ruptures or is blocked by a clot. As a result, the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs and pieces of the brain die.
RiskFactorsApproximately 80 percent of strokes can be prevented. Though some stroke risk factors are uncontrollable, such as age and race, other risk factors are in your control. For example, hypertension, which is the leading risk factor, can be controlled by eating a healthy diet, regularly engaging in physical activity, not smoking, and by taking prescribed medications.
KnowtheSignsF.A.S.T. is an easy way to remember the sudden signs and symptoms of a stroke. F.A.S.T. is:
•Face Drooping — Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile.
•Arm Weakness — Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
•Speech Difficulty — Is speech slurred, are they unable to speak, or are they hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “the sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly?
•Time to call 911 — If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get them to the hospital immediately.

Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
Dr. Anthony Stark, D.O., is a Physiatrist with
Iowa Ortho. He received his medical degree
from Des Moines University and served his
residency at the University of Texas Health
Science Center at San Antonio. Dr. Stark is
now seeing patients in Marshalltown.
WhatisPhysiatry?Physiatry, also called Physical Medicine
and Rehabilitation (PM&R), is the practice of medicine emphasizing prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders related to the nerves, muscles, bones and brain that may produce temporary or permanent impairment.
Physiatrists, also known as rehabilitation physicians, are medical doctors who have completed training in the specialty area of PM&R. Rehabilitation physicians treat injuries and illnesses that affect how you move, with the goal of enhancing performance. Physiatrists treat disabilities resulting from disease or injury. A PM&R treatment plan is not focused on one part of the body. Rather, a comprehensive plan is developed to help patients recover in all areas, including medically, socially, emotionally and vocationally.
WhywouldIneedtoseeaPhysiatrist?A rehabilitation physician cares for patients

Similar to today, the world of medical care and coverage was facing changes during the 1960s. In July 1965, the United States’ government
passed and President Johnson signed into law the Medicare Program to provide health insurance to people age 65 and older. The passing of the Medicare law guaranteed health insurance for the growing, aging population and led to evolving changes in the medical system.
However, one of the biggest changes facing medical care in the Marshalltown area took place on November 1, 1969, with the merger of Mercy Hospital and the Evangelical Hospital. The new corporation, known as Marshalltown Area Community Hospital (MACH), was led by Rev. H.C. Buchmueller, the former Evangelical administrator, and until August 1977, both hospital buildings were operated by the single corporation. It was also during this time that the name of the nursing school became Marshalltown Community School of Nursing.
Beyond the name change, patients at MACH were also experiencing modifications in care. Beginning in the 1980s, new fathers were not only encouraged to be in the delivery rooms but were
allowed to partake in the birthing process, such as cutting the umbilical cord. In addition, in 1973, computers began to handle the data processing for the hospital, including patient-related reports and
census activity.In May 1985,
MACH officially changed its name to Marshalltown Medical & Surgical Center (MMSC), in an effort by the then hospital board of trustees to more accurately describe the role of the hospital within the community. During this time, the hospital had taken on additional initiatives,
including outpatient surgery services and a skilled nursing facility. Additionally, MMSC had just completed a $4 million renovation to the 1926 building, originally part of the old Evangelical Deaconess Hospital, in an effort to gain much needed space for the laboratory and x-ray services.
The same purpose and pride that originated with the founding of the hospital in 1913 has carried through many decades and will continue to be a part of the MMSC vision for years to come. Healthcare continues to change, but the dedication MMSC has shown to the communities will no doubt remain a constant presence for the future.

The MMSC Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and gifts of all sizes enable us to carry out our mission and improve the services and programs we provide to the community. To learn more, call the MMSC Foundation office at (641) 754-5005 or email [email protected].
Colorectal cancer is known as a “silent killer” because in the early stages a person will often
experience no symptoms. A colonoscopy screening is one of the most powerful weapons in detecting colon cancer early, when it is highly treatable. That’s why the MMSC Foundation is excited to announce the focus of the 2013 Annual Giving Campaign “Lights, Camera, Action”: to raise $50,000 to enhance the hospital’s colon cancer screening technology to keep it among the best in the nation.
GetBehindaGoodCauseCancer screening is an important part of the
hospital’s mission of providing quality care to all residents. The new colonoscope equipment will provide enhanced technology including:
High-intensity 300-watt light source
High-definition video imaging
Advanced visualization capabilities
These enhancements will improve early detection.
TheImportanceofCancerScreeningsLocal cancer advocate Thomas Hillers
knows the importance of colon cancer screenings firsthand. “I lost my father to colon cancer. Doctors said that preventative screening likely would have saved his life as it was a very slow growing cancer that was likely there for a few years before they found it. Had he been screened at age 50, he would likely still be here,” he said.
Local doctors and surgeons also support this year’s campaign. “A screening colonoscopy is a crucial step in cancer prevention. The upgraded equipment will allow us to continue to provide state of the art care to our patients right here in Marshalltown. I strongly support the purchase of this equipment,” said Dr. Stephen Van Buren of McFarland Clinic.
YourContributionWillImpactLivesYour gift will help MMSC improve colon
cancer screenings in the communities we serve. Funds raised are earmarked for the MMSC Surgical Services Department. Your contribution will impact early cancer detection through preventative screenings for you or a loved one. Thank you for your generous support!
