Celebrating Our Community's Health Care Champions by David Schaffert, President/CEO, Thurston County Chamber
Quality health care is an essential part of a high-functioning community. The staff at our clinics and hospitals work around the clock to keep us healthy. Also, the economics and workforce numbers are substantial. Health care total wages are close to $650 million, roughly one-fifth of our local workforce and $1.3 billion of our Gross Regional Product. In this issue of the VOICE, we're sharing stories from three health care organizations working hard in Thurston County and beyond.

Bowen Center for Health Education. Finally, we're celebrating Health Care Champions. Help us extend congratulations to the 2022 Health Care Champions: Health Sciences Academy Innovative Community Service Award
We learn how Kaiser Permanente is embracing technology to deliver health care. Technology helps them meet the The Mayday Foundation Health Safety Net Award needs of patients — and helps reduce the backlog of patients caused by the Dr. Mike Herring pandemic. Lifetime Achievement Award We learn how Providence Swedish South Puget Sound is treating patients Dr. William Peterson in their own homes through a program Distinguished Service Award called Hospital at Home. We'll honor the 2022 Health Care We also checked in with MultiCare Champions on Tuesday, June 28, at Capital Medical Center.

The State of Health Care in Thurston County According to M Health Intelligence, 38 percent of patients received virtual care in 2022. Researchers found that 76 percent of patients who received virtual care would use it again. Over 5 million U.S. workers quit their jobs or their career field during the Great Resignation. Job burnout is taking a toll in the health care industry, especially nurses and physicians, according to reports cited by Health Leaders Media. Over the last two years, behavioral health has been one of the biggest growth areas in the health care ecosystem, fueled by the pandemic but in many ways an ignored, overlooked, understaffed, and underfunded element of care delivery in the United States. thurstonchamber.com
Are these trends true in Thurston County? This month, we sat down with three of the largest health care providers in our area: Providence Swedish South Puget Sound, Kaiser Permanente and MultiCare Capital Medical Center. We asked them to share what's on
their plate, what changes they see in their industry in the near future and we asked them about the most pressing community needs around health care. Our conversations are on the pages that follow.

PROTECTING OUR MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS State law requires that everyone visiting a medical facility wear a mask. "There are many people who don't understand why they must wear a mask when they visit a medical facility,” said Lemke. “We are still in a pandemic, and we must protect our most vulnerable populations. Masks are essential for this effort, and we don't see this law going away."

Providence St. Peter PROVIDENCE’S NEW 'HOSPITAL AT HOME' PROGRAM IS THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE

Within the home and community care industry, the benefits of treating patients in their own homes are well-documented. Patients recover faster and better, reap the psychological benefits of being surrounded by family members and friends in a familiar setting.
together and has been fun to watch mature.” says Darin Goss, Chief Executive, Providence Swedish South Puget Sound. “Patients appropriate for this new program are identified by our clinical team and I appreciate the leaders who have helped make this a reality in South Puget Sound.”
Providence caregivers visit patients in their homes to determine the appropriate treatment and medications. “It’s an ideal solution for conditions like Through an innovative program at Providence, a subset pneumonia which require acute medical care but do not necessarily have to be physically in the hospital, of emergency department patients meeting inpatient and early data shows it can decrease their length criteria and living within proximity of the hospital, of stay.” said Todd Czartoski, MD, CE Telehealth can now access the same type of care in their home. Providence St. Peter is one of a few hospitals nationwide and Chief Medical Technology Officer, Providence. “Our team has had more than 60 patients through and a handful in Washington State to offer Hospital this program, and they have high praise for it,” Dr. at Home. As the name implies, the program allows Czartoski added. “The cost per square foot of a patients to be treated at home through a combination hospital bed is incredibly expensive. If patients can be of telehealth, home health and hospital resources. cared for at home, surrounded by their loved ones, “Having home health, telehealth and our hospital that makes for a better experience.

They need to have a friend or family member in place who can support their care, and to live in a home with Wi-Fi service. Hospital at Home is just one of the positive ways Providence has adapted to changing community needs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Another has been the expansion of telehealth visits accessible through the Providence app, which combines telehealth with in-person visits to address a range of conditions. Providence has caregivers across several states who can offer telehealth consultations. Recently, Goss had the chance to test the system for himself when he developed a stye in one eye. “It was a great experience,” he says. “I used the Providence app to access the telehealth visit. Within minutes, a provider was asking me questions through a video chat and completed the exam. My provider was even out of state. She was able to confirm the diagnosis and sent my prescription to my local pharmacy, all within minutes. The funny thing for me was it was a Saturday morning and I had to run and grab a t-shirt and look more presentable thinking it might take 5-10 minutes to talk to someone - it was so fast!” laughed Goss “As we move further into the telehealth care space, this is a win for everyone. Patients want to access health and healthcare on their timeline and now we lead in offering this service.” Community needs have changed after two years of the pandemic, and Providence is facing the same challenge as many other industries: staffing shortages. The healthcare field is contending with high levels of burnout among caregivers who have been considered essential from day one. Providence has launched several strategies to address caring for the caregivers. One of the strategies has been introducing behavioral health concierge service that provides 24/7 online access to resources. This service has been well received, and for certain situations, access to care immediately helps all involved. “We realize the mental health component can play a big role in our staff staying with us long-term and it thurstonchamber.com

is important for all of us to be aware of our own mental health,” Goss notes. “We will continue to invest in our staff, recognizing that we are not immune to the Great Resignation. That’s been a challenge for us, as well as all hospitals nationwide.” Goss believes that as the world emerges from the pandemic, the healthcare industry is on the brink of substantial innovations both structurally and technologically, and Providence will continue to adapt and evolve while leading the way. “Clearly, these three examples highlight how telehealth is changing our healthcare landscape. We appreciate the trust our community has given us, and our partnership with the Thurston County Chamber, who has helped us remain connected to the community,” he says. “Our goal is to take that trust and make sure that we deliver what our community expects from us.” Thurston County Chamber VOICE

MultiCare Capital Medical Center

MULTICARE BRINGS HEALTH CARE TO THE COMMUNITY
Olympia. MultiCare is working hard to ensure access to care in the Capital Pacific Region. The region includes Thurston, Mason, Grays Harbor, Pacific, and Lewis counties. They are growing and adapting to meet the needs of our communities every day.
The last few years have shown how important healthcare is within a region. We recently caught up with Will Callicoat, President of MultiCare, Capital Medical Center. Will started his healthcare career at Will shared how MultiCare is Capital Medical Center in 2003. He growing and adapting to meet the has lived in Olympia since 1998. needs of our communities every day.
next one, three and five years. One of these plans kicks off in the summer of 2022 with the development of a women’s health community advisory committee.
Under the leadership of Dr. Monica Young, a surgeon specializing in general surgery, breast surgery, and bariatric surgery, this group will “fill a need,” says Callicoat. “We will develop services and offerings for women’s care based on committee As expected, a bustling organization input. This work will influence a new MultiCare Health System women’s center, recruitment and is always looking for new ways to incorporates hospitals, urgent care benefit the community and meet future equipment purchases.” He departments, behavioral health and needs before they arise. and Dr. Young hope the committee’s more statewide. work will also strengthen the bonds of trust and respect for patients that Multicare is developing a “now, MultiCare operates Capital receive care at MultiCare Capital near, far” plan, looking at services Medical Center & Clinics in Medical Center. and addressing outreach for the 14 I

Across town and coming in the summer of 2023 will be a new off-campus emergency department facility in Lacey near Pacific Avenue and Golf Club Road. Its ten beds will be under the hospital’s license and are part of its new expansion goals. Callicoat says the MultiCare Capital Pacific medical group hopes to triple its primary care presence through off-site clinics across the region. Capital Medical Center has been in existence for 37 years – having opened its doors in 1985. During that time, the hospital had eight different owners. But now, under the MultiCare umbrella, it has found a forever home. “We dissolved the former corporate structure,” explains Callicoat, “So it won’t be sold like that again. More importantly, we are the first local owner and first nonprofit owner – truly the final owner.” “It’s important that we show up and support our community partners,” he says. “There are many factors that impact health, so it’s important to have a community engagement plan that actively supports important local groups like Interfaith Works, Hands on Children’s Museum, Garden Raised Bounty (GRuB), Innovations Human Trafficking Collaborative, Rebuilding Together Thurston County, SideWalk, South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity, South Sound Parent to Parent, the Saint Martin’s nursing program, South Sound YMCA, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and others.” MultiCare also supported Capital Medical Center itself through enhancements and improvements. Two million dollars went into purchasing a new Da Vinci robotic surgical system to provide more efficient and quality outcomes in general surgery, urology, gynecology, and other minimally invasive procedures. It will cost $12 million to upgrade the Center’s sterilization systems and $20 million for a new medical records system. The medical community is more than just neighborhood doctors and nurses.

Dr. Angela J. Bowen Center for Health Education The soon-to-be-completed facility will give Allied Healthcare and Nursing program students handson, state-of-the-art experiences to prepare them for the medical field.
SPSCC and the SPSCC Foundation announced its acquisition of the Louis Walker Middleton building on Jan. 16, 2019. The event included remarks from SPSCC president Dr. Tim Stokes, SPSCC Board of Trustees Vice Chair Leonor Fuller, and Executor of the Estate of Angela J. Bowen and SPSCC Foundation Board Member Ted Schultz.
Q: What is new in the Allied Health and Nursing Program?
Dean Wright: This is an exciting time for us for many reasons. We will also start reviewing applications for those students who have applied for Fall Quarter in the Medical Assisting program.

Q. What makes the Healthcare pathway at SPSCC unique? Dean Wright: One of the things that makes our programs unique is our dedicated faculty. Not only do we have over 75 years of collective experience among our faculty, we also have graduates from the Allied Health and Nursing program who have worked in the health care field and returned to SPSCC to teach. Our alumni not only feel prepared to be a part of the critically needed workforce when they graduate, they often become our ambassadors. In many cases they are preceptors and externs for our students at the hospitals and clinics where they work. All of our students have some form of preceptor or externship experience. Students have the opportunity to go out and work alongside of a nurse, dental assistant or medical assistant for up to 198 hours of work time so they can see thurstonchamber.com
what it is really like before they begin their careers as a new graduate. Another thing that makes us unique is that our nursing program uses a lottery system as part of our admissions process, which serves to remove barriers and increase numbers of diverse student applicants—including male nurses and students of color. We only require students to meet what is necessary for success. Q: What are you looking forward to most about the remodeled space for the new Dr. Angela J. Bowen Center for Health Education? Dean Wright: Our team has had a chance to tour the space and it is absolutely wonderful! One of the most exciting parts of the building is the Simulation suite where students will experience a handson simulation of a hospital room for a variety of different patient settings. The medical assisting lab is welcoming and bright with lots of light and color. It’s simply stunning.
learning about new trends in PPE and when to use what masks. Our Medical assisting students are also learning about telemedicine, which is a growing area of health care. When the pandemic hit, nursing students across the state were shut out of clinical sites for hands-on learning, which cut off the workforce pipeline. So being able to have sophisticated simulations helps open doors for students to get the handson experience they need in a realistic and safe learning environment. Our Dental assisting program took a big hit when the pandemic first started because all dental offices had to be shut down due to the type of contact required by the procedures. Preparing for reopening required not just COVID testing, but we also had to do fit testing for masks and upgrade our HVAC systems to ensure safety compliance. But the moment the governor allowed dental offices to be reopened and we had made the necessary safety upgrades, our clinic was back open and ready to support students and the community.
Marriya Wright Dean of Allied Health & Nursing
things out in communities. Our professors are using the most up-todate, evidence-based material. We start utilizing it so that students know what an evidence-based practice looks like and they know how to research and find out what’s going on.
Q: What new trends are you seeing in the health care field, and what are some other ways students are prepared to enter the workforce?
Right now, in the state of Washington there is a need for mid-level providers in dentistry. We have one of four programs in this state that offer training for that. Our program is called the Expanded Function Dental Auxiliary (EFTA) and only 15 students at a time are accepted into the program because it requires a very detail-oriented, one-on-one type of training.
Q: How have COVID restrictions Dean Wright: The nursing, dental impacted opportunities for students assistant, and medical assistant to learn? shortages are real. Students who graduate from our programs are in very high demand. Our alumni make Dean Wright: We have learned a us proud and they are doing amazing lot. For example, our students are
SPSCC healthcare pathways are vital to the workforce in our region and we are excited to provide stateof-the-art learning opportunities to ensure our students are prepared to meet the needs of the community.
The center will also house a testing site for the Washington State Nurse Aide Training Program and we are adding two new beds. Because of the layout of our building students will want to test at our facility. We are looking to grow in this new space.
