TRANSCRIPT
St. Claire HealthCare recently received the Kentucky Hospital Association (KHA) Quality Award in the 100 to 250 Beds Category at the KHA Awards Luncheon on May 10, as part of the 90th Annual KHA Convention in Lexington.
The KHA Quality Award is presented to honor hospital leadership and innovation in quality, safety, and commitment to patient care. Hospitals presented with this honor demonstrate a dedication to patient safety as well as persistence to going above and beyond what is expected for providing quality care.
At this year’s convention, St. Claire HealthCare submitted an innovative change project titled, "Implementing a Patient-Centered Care Model to Reduce Opioid Usage." The project highlighted St. Claire HealthCare’s implementation of a shared vision by physicians and leaders alike to impact the opioid crisis and to improve patient outcomes. To compliment this St. Claire HealthCare physicians Will Melahn, MD, Jacob Perry, MD, John Sanders, MD, and Phillip Overall, MD, presented as a panel at KHA's annual convention.
“I am so proud of our medical staff for tackling this long-term issue affecting our community, patients, families, providers, and staff,” says Linda Fultz, St. Claire HealthCare Vice President of Quality and Resource Management. “Their decision to begin and continue this journey is one example of what we can achieve together through quality improvement initiatives and adopting clinical best practice.”

Spirit of
St. Claire
3rd Central Care TeamAs a child, every birthday is a milestone and a reason to celebrate. But when in the hospital, sick and scared, a birthday has the tendency to look pretty bleak. For one of our adored pediatric patients, this was almost their story, but our staff quickly changed the narrative.
As the care team on 3rd Central realized it was Mr. Maxie’s 6th birthday they quickly began plotting and planning. Though they anticipated he would soon be transferred they made every effort to celebrate this child like he was their own. Our team pulled out all the stops – bringing balloons, gifts, cake, and ultimately even spinning his transfer to be a birthday helicopter ride.
Though this staff would try shying away from any recognition, their actions didn’t go by unnoticed. Sometimes doing the “little things” make a big difference and for this child and his family, they softened a difficult situation a made a bad day a little bit brighter.
The team, consisting of Charlotte Kinney, BSN, RN; Kayla Harrison; Randa Hall, RN; Lindsay Cox, RN; and Chyann Hanson, RN; not only demonstrated our core values of compassion and excellence but they went the extra mile and displayed what we consider to be the “Spirit of St. Claire.”
Joelle Craft, BSN, RNIn the world of healthcare, it’s a mixed bag in terms of what a staff member may encounter during their shift. In a lot of ways, they get to see the good, the bad, and the ugly but nevertheless, they are relentless in the pursuit of providing excellent patient care.
When patients become agitated and combative it requires great poise in order to de-escalate the situation. And from then on it requires an enormous sense of patience and understanding. We want to recognize Joelle Craft, RN, BSN, for her professionalism and commitment to living out our
mission. Despite the unforeseen circumstances that lead to Joelle being hit by a patient, she remained calm and constant at the patient’s bedside, working diligently to help them in every way that she could.
While Joelle would probably tell you that she was just doing her job, we recognize her because she didn’t falter when the going got tough. She exhibited commitment and compassion which are the core values of our organization and the foundation of what we do.
Spirit of St. Claire Award Nominations - If you have witnessed a staff member or volunteer going above and beyond to care for our patients and visitors, you can nominate them for a Spirit of St. Claire Award by contacting McKenna Spence, Manager, Patient Experience & Clinical Support at [email protected].

St. Claire HealthCare Proudly Welcomes Kelly Butler-Vise, PA-CSt. Claire HealthCare is proud to announce the addition of Kelly Butler-Vise, PA-C, to our medical staff. Kelly is now seeing and accepting new patients at St. Claire Family Medicine’s Morehead North location where she joins Kim Bromagen, PA-C, and Wendy Fletcher, DNP, APRN.
“When I was in high school my sick grandmother received exceptional care from a physician assistant who really took the time to listen to her concerns. From then on, I knew that I wanted to provide care to others in that same way,” says Kelly. “I’m happy to be working at St. Claire as they are Christ-centered and really put patient care first.”
Kelly comes to St. Claire with nearly 10 years of emergency and family medicine experience. She earned her Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Kentucky and then received her physician assistant certification through the NCCPA.
Kelly enjoys spending time with her husband Brandon and their six-year-old son Gideon. She also enjoys crocheting hats and blankets for her friends and family.

St. Claire HealthCare’s Controlled Substance Stewardship Committee (CSSC) has been awarded a $10,000 grant by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ ) to improve the care of patients undergoing chronic opioid therapy at St. Claire HealthCare.
The grant will be used by the committee to implement a “Six Building Blocks” program at St. Claire HealthCare. This program gives primary care providers access to tools and resources, as well as a proven and evidence-based roadmap to delivering effective, measured care to patients suffering from chronic pain. This opportunity also allows the committee to earn a maintenance of certification improvement in medical practice credit from the American Board of Medical Specialties.
Wendy Fletcher, DNP, APRN, SCH Clinical Director of Advanced Practice and CSSC Co-Chair, will serve as quality improvement lead and develop measures and reporting as it relates to the project. John Sanders, MD, SCH Medical Director of Hospice and Palliative Care, will serve as the project’s on-site clinical champion.
“We have a dedicated team committed to safe, high-quality care for our patients. This grant will help bring the best evidence into our clinical practices to coordinate that care, help our providers, and evaluate our processes around controlled substance prescribing,” said Cheryl McClain, MD, SCH Associate Chief Medical Officer.

St. Claire Foundation Receives Significant Gift for Family Medicine Locations from Physician’s Father
The St. Claire Foundation recently received a gift of more than $76,500 from the estate of Henry Humkey, father of Mary Jane Humkey, MD, longtime St. Claire HealthCare physician and administrator. Mr. Humkey's contribution will be used to support and expand upon the services offered in our family medicine locations.
“My father had a strong value system, and one of the things he taught us was the importance of giving to those in need,
which he did by giving of self, sharing knowledge and donating monetarily,” said Dr. Humkey. “In giving this gift to the family medicine clinics, he is helping support this service to others embodied by the mission of St. Claire HealthCare.”
Dr. Humkey joined the St. Claire staff in August 1985 and has worked as a medical provider and a family medicine administrator. Her father, who passed away last December at the age of 92 in his hometown of Peoria, IL, coordinated his generous gift through a charitable remainder trust.
News of Mr. Humkey’s gift came as a pleasant surprise to the SCH family medicine staff. “We are humbled and thankful for this very generous donation from the Humkey family,” said Dreama Perkins, SCH administrative director of primary care. “The contribution will be used to support and expand upon the services offered in our family medicine locations. We truly appreciate Mr. Humkey’s unwavering support of our mission and services.”
