HVCH employees help fight hunger LOGAN - Over 60 employees from Hocking Valley Community Hospital recently took the initiative to volunteer and help fight local hunger in conjunction with the Southeastern Ohio Regional Food Bank. The hospital employees were divided into two teams – the “Hunger Heroes” vs. the “Souper Stars” – and hosted a private packing event. During the two-hour volunteer project, HVCH employees were set up on assembly lines filling boxes with various shelf-stable items. “Keeping our community healthy goes beyond what we do inside our hospital. It takes all of us working together, and it was truly a privilege to have this opportunity to serve our Hocking County residents in another way,” Chief Public Relations Officer Latricia Johnston said. Overall, the teams’ combined efforts helped provide more than 1,900 senior citizen meals to the community they serve. “Additionally, several of our staff members went back down to help load the boxes into the cars on pickup day. It is an honor to be the leading healthcare organization of Hocking County and continuing to lead the way to a healthier community,” Johnston said. HVCH is a critical access non-profit hospital with an emergency department, urgent care and a wide variety of clinical, specialty and outpatient services. For more information, contact the Community Relations office at (740) 380-8336. Hocking Valley Community Hospital: Leading the Way to a Healthier Community.

May Day marks the mid point between spring and summer. Occurring exactly half a year from November 1st. Fun Facts: I love May Day! Our tradition as kids was to go leave flowers on our friends doorsteps ring the doorbell and then run away before they came. April Showers brings May flowers. Mid summer night’s dream is the only Shakespeare Play that mentions a Maypole. In 2004, a study of 40,000 people showed that people born in May think themselves luckier than those in any other month. According to old superstitions, It is unlucky to marry, buy a broom or wash a blanket in May.

Keynote to include Governor’s Cabinet Opiate Action Team Director Andrea Boxill, Deputy Director for the Governor’s Cabinet Opiate Action Team, will be the keynote speaker at the May 11 Appalachian Ohio P-20 Council (AOP-20) meeting. Boxill has worked in public health for 25 years and will deliver important information for the Appalachian area as we work with employers, families and youth across the region. Additionally, a Showcase of regional best practices in education from preschool through college and career will be presented. AOP-20 was formed out of the reality that education does not begin and end at the K-12 classroom door. It is comprised of community, business, civic and education leaders from across nine counties including: Coshocton, Hocking, Morgan, Muskingum and Perry (served by Muskingum Valley Educational Service Center) and Guernsey, Monroe, Noble and Washington (served by Ohio Valley Educational Service Center.) The region-wide Council meeting will be May 11 from 9 a.m.—12p.m. at the Zane State College Paul R. Brown Epic Center (9900 Brick Church Rd., in Cambridge). Representatives from the community as well as the region’s school districts, colleges, social service agencies, local government and the business community are encouraged to participate in the discussion about education in our communities. P-20s offer community and business leaders and educators an opportunity to explore and act upon issues around early child development, school readiness, parent and student engagement in the learning process, and college/career readiness while encouraging economic self-sufficiency. Subcommittees of the Appalachian P-20 have been established and will include: Communications; Career Development; Life Skills; and Future Planning. The meeting is free but registration is encourage; to register, visit www.aop20.org. If you are unable to attend the meeting but have interest in serving with a regional P-20 Council, contact Diane Jones at 740-452-4518.

Health Awareness May I Keep My Doctor? One of the many misconceptions, or myths, about hospice care is that you will lose the relationship you had with your family doctor should the decision be made to accept hospice service. In particular, one of the hesitations in calling FairHoPe Hospice and Palliative Care, Inc. in the first place is the fear of having a new doctor with whom they are not familiar. Don’t worry, with FairHoPe a plan is always worked out in which all three parties (you, your doctor and FairHoPe) agree. And the nice thing is that your wants are paramount when discussing who your physician will be. And as a side note, your wants are paramount in your entire plan of care with FairHoPe Hospice. I was talking to a woman who had been the primary caregiver for her mother. She told me that she was on the verge of trying to find a specialist, “Who could refer her to the correct specialist.”, as she put it. Maybe a few people can relate to that. As the illness has progressed up to the point of considering hospice, most patients have been visiting more and more specialists. Accordingly, FairHoPe’s doctor may be perceived as one more specialist. By this time, you may be tired of all of the new medical people and just want to keep your doctor. There are three basic options when it comes to deciding who the attending physician might be. First of all, you may retain your family doctor as your physician during this stage of your life. Your doctor, if comfortable with the situation, would then become a part of your FairHoPe team and would consult with our doctor regarding your care. FairHoPe understands that over a period of time a person may develop a deep trust in their doctor. My Mom was loyal to her family doctor to the very end. I, as well, trust my doctor above any other medical professional. Even with the strong bond that sometimes exists between a patient and doctor we have found that some physicians aren’t comfortable with end of life issues. It is important to know that, yes, your family doctor knows you deeply but may not have a competent understanding of the physical, emotional and spiritual dynamics that are at play during the last stage of life. Even though your doctor may have no problem discussing treatments and procedures he or she may find it almost impossible to discuss the reality of a terminal condition. In that type of situation the second option available is that we will address issues with the terminal illness while your family doctor continues to care for any other medical problems. Just as there are specialists in cardiology, digestive illnesses, cancer, etc. we are specialists in end of life care. Similar to your doctor working with other specialists he or she may work with us in the same manner. In the third option your doctor may decide not to be involved
in your care. In this case, the family doctor relinquishes responsibility for your care and FairHoPe Hospice’s doctor will assume duties. Since care for someone in the last stage of life may require late night decisions, having one of FairHoPe’s doctors assume full care is quite common. As with all situations involving patient care, FairHoPe asks the question, “What does the patient want?” There is no specific rule as to which of the scenarios to use. FairHoPe is here to help and will work out a care plan that satisfies the person who is ill while also keeping the family in mind. FairHoPe understands the importance of the doctor/patient relationship. You’ll probably never meet a group in the medical field more eager to cater to your wants than FairHoPe Hospice and Palliative Care, Inc. When you think about it, all through life following doctor’s orders has been the norm. At the end of life, with FairHoPe the decision process can revert back to you and your family. And if your doctor agrees, yes, you may keep your doctor.
