Dear Friend of

Newport Hospital,

A

One of the many things that make Newport Hospital special is our unique connection to the Aquidneck Island community. Our deep-rooted commitment to providing high quality, personalized care has built a bond of trust with our patients and our community at large. When you walk through our doors, you know you have access to an expert team of doctors and caregivers and advanced, comprehensive care across a range of health needs. By sharing ideas, information and resources, we are constantly working to advance the services available to our patients and improve the health of our community.

The theme of community runs throughout this issue of Benefactor. We are proud to spotlight BankNewport, an institution that shares our commitment to Aquidneck Island.

Our mutual passion for helping others has resulted in a partnership that benefits our community immeasurably.

And of course, BankNewport’s commitment to corporate philanthropy and ongoing generous support of Newport Hospital has greatly impacted the award-winning facility we are today.

You’ll read about Newport Hospital’s laser-like focus on recruiting new physicians; our successful launch of a new community lecture series; and the addition of our first Nurse Navigator for Newport Hospital’s Comprehensive Cancer Center, made possible by funds raised by generous donors during last year’s Swinging on a Star gala. These are all important steps that allow us to serve our community in new and expanded ways. We also share with you the heartwarming story of how Newport Hospital’s Emergency Department saved a soon-to-be new dad’s life and delivered his baby boy, all in a matter of a few weeks. And as we do each year, we recognize our 2014 honor roll of donors.

We are grateful to have you as part of our donor community. With your support, we can continue to deliver the excellent, award-winning care that you have come to expect.

And we look forward to sharing more news about continued service line developments in the next issue of Benefactor, including a range of new and enhanced services we’ll soon be offering to patients.

“BankNewport’s support to Newport Hospital is indeed keeping it in the family—the bank’s customers are the hospital’s patients and vice versa.

Newport Hospital is a valuable resource that touches the lives of so many, with the focus of the Bank’s gifts as a legacy to the community which we are all a part of.”

–Peter Capodilupo, BankNewport Board Chair

ankNewport and Newport Hospital never lose sight of the continued loyalty, trust, and support the community has placed in them since the 1800s. As a community bank and a community provider, both organizations share a unique and valuable history of significant growth, changes to infrastructure, and tireless employees who have served generations of families from Newport and the surrounding communities.

The Savings Bank of Newport, as it was known at the time, opened its door for business in a private home at 2 Pelham Street in Newport in 1819, and similarly, Newport Hospital was founded and funded by Newporters in 1873 on land that was donated for that purpose. Both have been true partners in meeting the needs of the community for a very long time.

Since becoming Newport Hospital’s first Vision 2001 Capital Campaign corporate sponsor in March 1998, with a leadership gift of $100,000, BankNewport’s support of the hospital has been unwavering.

The impact of their generosity can be seen and felt on a daily basis, in practically every corner of the hospital. From the outpatient laboratory and modernization of two inpatient medical/surgical units in the Turner Building, to renovations of the adult medical/ surgical acute inpatient rooms and the extensive expansion of the Interventional Radiology Program, BankNewport

Acknowledging its financial role in many hospital capital

The BankNewport team

BankNewport’s corporate culture of philanthropy encourages branch staff and their customers to get involved in giving back to Newport Hospital. In 2001, 26 bank employees volunteered their time to promote awareness of Newport Hospital’s Vision 2001 Capital Campaign and brought in an additional $250,000 in pledges and donations from local businesses. On designated “dress down days” BankNewport employees can dress casual in exchange for making a donation to selected local organizations. Newport Hospital’s Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center Survivorship Training and Rehabilitation (the STAR Program®) has been a beneficiary of this program.

“We are grateful to have BankNewport as such a committed corporate donor to Newport Hospital. It’s wonderful to have a community partner that not only shares our mission for serving those in the Newport and surrounding areas, but that so actively and generously participates in our philanthropic endeavors to bring the highest quality care to the community.”

PATIENT CARE

From the Emergency Department to the

Birthing Center, Newport Hospital Helps Make

Happy Endings and Beginnings Possible.

C

hristina Cerenzia was in her 37th week of pregnancy when she found herself en route to the Emergency Department (ED) at Newport Hospital. Terrified, the mom-to-be found herself thinking, “I can’t go into labor…not now. Please let them help Justin.”

Justin is Christina’s husband. He is the head coach of St. George’s hockey team in Middletown, RI and he had been hit in the head by a flying hockey puck. It was the third period of the game. The team was short a man on a penalty and Justin was talking to a player on the bench. Out of nowhere, a puck struck him just above his right temple. Knocked from the bench, the team doctor and trainer rushed to his side as Justin lay there, bleeding profusely and unable to sit up. Justin recalls knowing he was in bad shape, “I knew I needed help fast and needed an ambulance.” When the EMTs arrived, Justin told them, “My wife is nine months pregnant … please get me help fast!”

The ambulance brought Justin to Newport Hospital.

The combination of his bleeding ear canal and location of the temple injury meant that Justin was seriously injured. The head CT scan confirmed a skull fracture of the temporal bone as well as an epidural hematoma, which is a brain bleed.

After Physician Assistant Jerry Ferrera reviewed the scan results with the radiologist, Jerry told attending ED physician Ben Hodgson, MD, they had a patient with a traumatic brain injury that needed to be transferred to a trauma center where neurosurgeons could release the pressure in his brain and stop the bleed. Minutes were critical

and Justin was quickly deteriorating. Dr. Hodgson prepared him for the critical care transfer—administering medication to reduce the pain and brain swelling as well as preventatively intubating him to protect his airway.

“I just sat there watching his heart rate drop thinking I can’t go into labor, I just want my husband to be okay,” remembers Christina, “but I didn’t understand just how severe the situation was until they told me they might have to drill a hole in his head to relieve the pressure on his brain and that I should call his parents in Pennsylvania.”

For Justin, quick thinking and fast action on the part of emergency staff at Newport Hospital was critical in saving his life.

“If his initial arrival at the hospital, his scan, the reading of the results, or his transfer had been delayed, significant brain damage, or death, could have occurred,” explains Jerry. Dr. Hodgson adding, “From the nurses to the pharmacy staff who were instrumental in getting us the medications we needed at lightning speed, this was an excellent example of team work.”

Justin, Benno and Christina Cerenzia

Justin’s post-operative recovery impressed neurosurgeons and he was released from Rhode Island Hospital three days after they performed a craniotomy to reduce the pressure and repair the ruptured artery in his skull. continued on next page

PATIENT CARE Two weeks later, with Justin still healing from his traumatic brain injury, it was now Christina’s turn for a trip to Newport Hospital. Going into labor in the evening, the couple found themselves back at the Emergency Department, but this time with happy anticipation.

“It was nice to see the familiar and friendly faces at check-in when we arrived,” says Christina of their quick entry to the ED before being whisked down the hall to the Noreen Stonor Drexel Birthing Center. Just an hour and a half later, seven pound, 11 ounce baby Benno arrived!

“I really felt a connection with the nurses, every step of the way,” says Christina.

Justin with his son Benno

“It was such a relief to end our stressful month of December on such a positive note with Benno’s arrival in such a warm and inviting place.

Newport Hospital was there for us during one of our most difficult days, as well as one of the most joyous!”

A Position Made Possible

Donor Community

I

n January 2015, thanks to the generous support of blitz and auction donors at the 2014 Newport Hospital Swinging on a Star gala, the Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) at Newport Hospital welcomed Patricia “Patty” Sousa-Cooper, RN, BSN, OCN as its first Nurse Navigator.

The concept of “patient navigation” (PN) was founded and pioneered by New York physician, Dr. Harold Freeman during the 1990s in an effort to pair patients with “navigators” who could help guide them through the maze of the Patricia Sousa-Cooper, RN, BSN, OCN health care system during cancer treatment. The CCC at Newport Hospital has taken the PN concept and created a Nurse Navigator whose role is to support the varying needs of cancer patients on Aquidneck Island with the expertise of an oncology certified nurse.

In this new role, Patty, previously an oncology treatment nurse, helps patients overcome barriers they might face during their treatment. As the patient’s liaison between their medical team and social work, the goal of the navigator is for every patient to have what they need for a successful experience. From ensuring they have transportation in order to receive their treatment on time, to educating them about the many medications they’re taking, to dealing with insurance issues, and helping patients find social and emotional support in the community, the navigator is a patient’s ultimate resource—just one call away.

“As a treatment nurse, you hear about patient struggles as you get to know them over the sometimes lengthy appointments. Facilitating access to the resources that are available can be time consuming and the Navigator’s role helps to free the other oncology nurses to concentrate on the demanding aspects of treatment,” explains Patty.

Patty has been a nurse at Newport Hospital since 1998 and joined the CCC at Newport Hospital in 2015. Her services as Nurse Navigator are available to all patients treated at the CCC at Newport Hospital. She is Newport Hospital’s first, and currently only, Nurse Navigator.

“We give patients the strength to get through and help them make the best of each day.

Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be frightening and I am happy to be able to help our patients navigate through the often murky waters that lie ahead. Having a contact person to turn to for answers is another part of the healing process.” — Patty Sousa-Cooper, RN, BSN, OCN
