FROM THE CHAIRMAN
It may sound like a cliché but after 30 years, Methodist
Health Foundation is just getting started. In 1982, as
part of a corporate restructuring plan, the Foundation
was created as the organization of charitable support for Methodist Hospital. Yet philanthropy has been a part of
the history of Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital since its founding in
1899. Charitable giving built and has sustained this hospital for all of its years.
And it continues to do so today.
Pearls are the traditional gemstones representing 30th anniversaries and we
used that imagery in 2012 as a metaphor for the full service critical care and
the continuum of care provided at IU Health Methodist Hospital – and our
linkage as the organization providing charitable support.
Just as pearls come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors and individually
are quite stunning, the individual departments and units, care teams,
physicians and nurses at IU Health Methodist are remarkably skilled,
experienced and compassionate. Like a single pearl, each one is unique.
But joined together, they are capable of so much more and provide a continuum
of care that is so important to patients and families.
As healthcare evolves, so must fundraising for healthcare. Foundation
President Kevin Armstrong began his tenure in March, 2012. He and the staff
have engaged in a strategic planning process designed to provide a more
focused approach to fundraising while also remaining agile and able to respond
to the needs of the hospital.
Change can be hard. Building on success, especially successes realized over 30
years, might seem like a daunting prospect. With the complete confidence and
support from the Board of Directors, Kevin and his team are poised for the
challenges ahead and have embraced the need to adapt to this changing
healthcare landscape.
The stories in this report reflect the grants and gifts made to the hospital in
2012 and the patients who have been the beneficiaries. It is our privilege to
champion the mission of the hospital through fundraising. Thank you for
making it possible for Methodist Health Foundation to continue providing
charitable support to IU Health Methodist Hospital.

SAVES
Lives:
JAELYN
KINCHELOW
Busy days are the norm for the IU Health Methodist Hospital Emergency Department.
March 20, 2012 was exceptional even by their standards: a 20% increase in the
number of patients treated, and the complexity of cases that would overwhelm
most other hospitals. Two patients received double lung transplants; two suffered
ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms; one had an aortic dissection; and late in the
afternoon, 14-year-old Jaelyn Kinchelow arrived with symptoms of a heart attack.
Cardiothoracic Surgeon Art Coffey was finishing surgery when he was alerted to
Jaelyn’s condition. After being revived from cardiac arrest in the Emergency
Department, she was rushed to the Cardiac Catheterization Lab. There, Dr. Coffey
and Dr. Rolf Kreutz reviewed the results: a tear in the main coronary artery, with
poor blood flow to the heart. Emergency surgery was the only option for saving
Jaelyn’s life. “We made a snap decision, we had to go right then if we were going
to save her,” offers Dr. Coffey. “We didn’t have time for pre-operative procedures.
She was dying.”
The surgical teams had been working non-stop since before 6 am, both with
scheduled surgeries and the multiple emergencies, yet everyone volunteered to
stay. “That’s not unusual for our people. It’s who they are,” says Coffey. Others on
the team acknowledged, “We treat patients with a sense of care and urgency, but
we each felt a heightened sense of responsibility because the parents of that girl
put her life in our hands.”
The surgery repaired the torn artery yet Jaelyn’s heart was only functioning at 5%
of its capacity. Dr. Coffey met with the parents who were surrounded by dozens of
extended family, friends, classmates and well-wishers. “I’ve never seen the waiting
room filled with that many people especially at 10:30 at night,” notes Coffey. “She
had a lot of people pulling for her.”
The next morning, Jaelyn’s condition became unstable. She was rushed back to
surgery and Dr. Coffey along with Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgeon Mark Turrentine
made the decision to put her on ECMO: extra corporeal membrane oxygenation.
Similar to bypass, the ECMO circuit can do the work of the heart and lungs for days
– traditional bypass can only be used for a few hours. ECMO allowed Jaelyn’s heart
and lungs to rest so that the heart muscle could repair itself.
In the first 24 hours, her heart function improved to 20%. By day eight, it reached
43%, and she was removed from ECMO. Being a pediatrics patient, Jaelyn was
transferred for recovery and rehabilitation to Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health.
She continues her follow up care there with her cardiologist, Dr. Robert Darragh.
Dr. Arthur Coffey is a member
of Indiana University Health
Physicians and since 2005, has
served on the Board of Directors
for Methodist Health Foundation.
Even so, Dr. Coffey has remained connected to his young patient. “For me, it’s more
emotional when it is a child,” he admits. “I get mad [at the circumstances]. I told
Kim [Carlson, RN surgical nurse], after the first surgery, ‘I will go to this girl’s high
school graduation!’ ”
Jaelyn completed the school year with straight A’s and entered Avon High School as
a freshman. Graduation is in 2016 and Art Coffey has it circled on his calendar!
The ECMO units were initially funded by a $44,000 Methodist Health Foundation
grant in 2011. Additional funds of $125,000 were granted in 2012 due to increased
demand and positive outcomes.

GROUP
Judi and Randy Koorsen and their family made a significant gift in 2012 to
support the IU Health Neuroscience Center – because of care Judi received more
than a decade prior. Through the Foundation they were reintroduced to Judi’s
surgeon Dr. Troy Payner, president of Goodman Campbell Brain & Spine.
“The son of one of our employees was in a serious auto accident and was cared for
at IU Health Methodist. We reconnected with Dr. Payner because of their experience,”
says Randy Koorsen, president of Koorsen Fire & Security. “It reminded us how much
Dr. Payner meant to us when Judi had her aneurysm. Doing something in his honor
made sense to us.”
The Koorsen gift supports the Brain Injury Support Group at the new center that
opened in August. Directing their gift to a patient-focused program was a family
decision. “One of our kids said, ‘Wouldn’t you rather be able to help people than see
your name on something?’ We agreed – we want to help people get back to life!”
They have also offered to speak to other patients and families who have experienced
traumatic brain injuries. “My wife is a miracle. She wasn’t expected to live. We
thought she might never be able to swallow again. But today, she leads a very, very
normal life,” responds Randy. “I think it can be encouraging for others to know when
faced with hardships that you can get through it.”
Dr. Troy Payner, president
of Goodman Campbell Brain
& Spine.

BETH’S
LEGACY
OF HOPE
Domestic violence occurs in this country every nine seconds and it is the leading
cause of injury to women. Equally shocking is the fact that more than three million
children witness domestic violence each year.
Beth’s Legacy of Hope was implemented at IU Health Methodist Hospital in the
Emergency Department and Trauma Center in response to a brutal, fatal incidence
of domestic violence to a former co-worker. Turning their distress and sorrow into
action, colleagues of the victim, Beth Stayer, RN, developed a multi-disciplinary
program designed to teach themselves and other healthcare providers how to
screen and respond to victims of domestic violence.
The program operates on three fronts:
1. Education and training to raise awareness and teach providers how to react and intercede with knowledge and compassion.
2. Wrap-around support services to respond to the immediate and critical needs
of victims.
3. Data collection to document injuries and patient outcomes.
A dramatic video produced to support the education and training component has
been rolled out to the IU Health Methodist Emergency Department. The program is
still in the pilot phase, yet has made an immediate impact and IU Health Ball
Memorial has already begun using the training video; IU Health North Hospital
is in the queue for 2013.
Beth’s Legacy of Hope: Preventing Domestic Violence in our Patients and Peers is
a pilot program funded by a grant of $43,200 from Methodist Health Foundation
in 2012.
Comments by healthcare
workers after initial
training sessions:
“I thought it was just physical
violence. I didn’t know that it
also included verbal, emotional
and financial abuse.”
“As a nurse, I want to fix the
problem immediately. I never
understood that the process
of leaving can take years.
Now I know we can provide
the victims with resources
and a safety plan.”
And from an employee who
took the training and is a
victim of domestic violence,
“I learned I am not alone.
There is help available.”

GRATEFUL PATIENTS

NEUROREHABILITATION & ROBOTICS
Neurorehabilitation and Robotics provides 3D motion assessments of a patient’s
movements using specialized cameras and reflective markers; recording the force
made when striking the ground and the degree of change to muscles when they
move. The information offers a more complete picture in deciding the patient’s
needs for surgery or advanced rehabilitation.
“It allows us to pinpoint the exact areas causing problems and treat the areas
exclusively,” says Dr. George Ganstoudes, the program’s medical director. “The
result is improved care for our patients.”
The equipment and technology was made possible through a gift from the family
of Gary and Phyllis Schahet of Indianapolis-based Schahet Hotels, Inc. Gary
acknowledges that the roots of service and philanthropy run deep in his family,
“That’s how I was brought up – creating a better community through service and
support. My Mother [Ruby Schahet] was a nurse and she was involved. At one time
she sat on the Methodist Hospital board.”
Many years ago, Gary was a patient of the late Dr. Julius Goodman whose name
is on the building of the new IU Health Neuroscience Center. Later they served
together on the Foundation’s Board of Directors. Asked why the Schahet family gift
was directed to neurosciences, this grateful patient uttered just one word, “Julius.”

STROKE TELEMEDICINE SYSTEM
OF CARE
Telemedicine uses communication and information technologies – cameras, audio
and other remote monitoring tools – to provide healthcare to patients from long
distances and in underserved geographic regions. The Stroke Telemedicine System
of Care or Telestroke, uses this same technology for treating patients who have
suffered a stroke.
Time is Brain
This phrase is used by physicians referring to the fact that nervous tissue is rapidly
lost as a stroke progresses. Telestroke can aid faster, more effective care for stroke
patients, by reducing time delays caused by ambulance transfers to IU Health
Methodist Hospital – the hub for stroke care in the IU Health system.
How it Works
One Sunday, a patient was admitted with stroke-like symptoms to the Emergency
Department at an IU Health hospital in southern Indiana. After initial assessment
by the nursing and physician staff, the patient was sent for a head CT Scan while
the physician contacted the Telestroke neurologist on call at IU Health Methodist.
The Telestroke cart containing computer equipment and a remote camera was
brought to the patient’s room. There, the IU Health Methodist neurologist assessed
the patient, spoke with the family, consulted with the onsite care team and
recommended a course of treatment.
This advanced level of care was available to the patient in minutes rather than the
hours it would have taken had she been transported to Methodist. The time savings
allowed effects of the patient’s stroke to be reversed. Once the patient was stable,
she was transferred to Methodist to receive a higher level of care not available at
the rural hospital. When the patient arrived, she was in a better health state, able
to make additional improvements.
Methodist Health Foundation
provided $292,800 in grant
funds to the Stroke
Telemedicine System of Care
program in 2012.
The IU Health Neuroscience
Department has implemented
the Telestroke program at six
IU Health hospitals, with plans
to add 11 more facilities in 2013.
