SAVE THE DATE!

The devices were funded by the NUMC Foundation at a total cost of $5,000. Alpha-Stim is a device that has been around since 1981 and was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1992. The device itself is simple – it clips lightly and comfortably onto the patients’ earlobes. Patients may feel a little tingling in their earlobes and may experience a little light-headedness but those symptoms are generally very minor. What the device is actually doing is increasing alpha brain wave activity which is associated with states of meditation and relaxation. “When someone decides to use the technology, they clip in, and we go through a regular therapy session while they have this unit running,” said Janice Beauduy, MD, PhD, a psychologist at NUMC. All the providers in the outpatient mental health department at NUMC received training in the use of the Alpha-Stim prior to making it available to patients. “I consider it to be a supplement to talk therapy,” said Psychologist Betsy Anderson, PhD. “I often tell people that this treatment is available, it’s not going to hurt and it may just help as a supplement to the therapy we are already doing. They’ve got nothing to lose by trying it.” Initially it is intended to be used daily and ultimately it is best if used on an ongoing basis about three times a week. The Outpatient Mental Health Department at NUMC also has one Alpha-Stim unit at the front desk. After they have been approved for usage, established clients may stop in and use this on a day that they do not already have an appointment. The Alpha-Stim sessions run 20-60 minutes. 4 The providers are hearing very positive feedback from their clients on the units. Alpha-Stim has been more readily available since June when the NUMC Foundation provided the funds to purchase units for each provider, plus the front desk unit. “I’ve had people say that they’ve noticed help with insomnia right away after the first treatment,” Beauduy said. She has been using Alpha-Stim in her own practice since 2012. “I had one patient who was able to quit her prescription medication for insomnia and another who was able to reduce her medication.” In terms of anxiety, Beauduy said, it just helps people to feel calmer. “Sometimes when people come in and they are so anxious that they just can’t get their thoughts out, using the Alpha-Stim may help to calm them down enough to be able to talk through the session,” Beauduy said. “I have also been using it with substance abuse patients for anxiety and insomnia,” Anderson said. “Often, their natural rhythms have gotten off-kilter and this helps to get them back on track.” People who are pregnant or who have pacemakers cannot use AlphaStim. Some people do not find it tolerable because it makes them a little nauseated. Those patients who find Alpha-Stim really valuable, may be able to get a prescription and purchase an Alpha-Stim. Insurers may cover part of the unit but patients should check with their own insurance company to find out. R E S Q C P R S Y S T E M D O N A T E D T O A R E A P O L I C E , S H E R I F F, F I R E D E P A R T M E N T S When a person is in active cardiac arrest, not only is a quick response imperative to the patient’s survival but the best, most efficient form of CPR can also mean the difference between life and death. With that in mind, New Ulm Medical Center Foundation provided $13,000 for the purchase of 15 new devices for local first responders, including police, sheriff, and fire. The two-part system is called the ResQCPR™ System and it has been shown to improve blood flow to the brain and vital organs, and to increase the likelihood of survival. The system was approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2015. The two parts that make up the ResQCPR™ System are the ResQPod® ITD 16 and the ResQPUMP® ACDCPR Device. The ResQPUMP is a hand-held device comprised of a suction cup that is placed on the chest, and a handle that contains a force gauge and metronome. It allows the caregiver to perform active compression decompression CPR (ACD-CPR), which compresses the chest like manual CPR, but allows the user to actively re-expand the chest to generate the negative pressure (or vacuum) that helps to refill the heart. It is the only device that is FDA approved to perform ACD-CPR. ResQCPR System was used. It is the only CPR device with an FDAapproved indication to improve the likelihood of survival. A key to the system’s success is that the two devices used together provides near-normal blood flow to the brain during cardiac arrest. The device combination has been show in a clinical study to provide near-normal systolic and diastolic blood pressures during cardiac arrest. Some patients have even woken up during CPR when this system is in use. The devices are easy to learn and simple to use, says Gina PerschauBecker, supervisor of Allina Medical Transportation – New Ulm. Perschau-Becker and Paramedic Ryan Marti trained over 30 local personnel from several first-responder units, including the New Ulm Police Department, the Brown County Sheriff and Courtland Fire Department. The equipment is also compact, lightweight and easy for each of these departments to store in their various vehicles. “We fully expect that having our first responders equipped with these devices will save lives in our region,” Perschau-Becker said. The ResQPod® ITD 16 selectively prevents air from entering the lungs during the chest wall recoil phase (except when intended during ventilations). This enhances the vacuum, which pulls more blood back into the heart and lowers intracranial pressure. According to the American Heart Association, more than 300,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur each year. The average survival rate is about 11 percent. A major clinical study showed a 49 percent increase in one-year survival from cardiac arrest when the 5 THE HEART OF NEW ULM PROJECT C O N T I N U E S T O I M P A C T O U R C O M M U N I T Y N E W U L M M E D I C A L C E N T E R F O U N D AT I O N T O H E L P R A I S E F U N D S F O R H E A R T O F N E W U L M ( H O N U ) S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y Through activities, education, policies and environmental changes, the award-winning Hearts Beat Back: Heart of New Ulm Project (HONU) is making great strides to create a community without heart disease in New Ulm. The New Ulm Medical Center Foundation Board has committed to raise $100,000 in 2016 to support HONU. The funding will support development of a long-term, sustainable and replicable model for prevention and health initiatives designed to meet community needs. Most importantly, it will ensure the Project lives beyond the 10-year research time frame, which concludes in 2018. This local commitment helps to meet a challenge grant from The Nolan Family Foundation to HONU’s current parent organization, the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation (MHIF). Each year, 2016-2018, The Nolan Family Foundation is challenging HONU partners and supporters to raise $500,000 triggering an additional $333,000 of funding. NUMC Foundation’s commitment in 2016 will be a part of that $500,000 and the remaining amount will be raised by MHIF. Each year, the HONU Leadership Team creates action teams, which meet for a short period of time to work on a specific initiative project goals. THE CURRENT ACTION TEAMS INCLUDE: Downtown – This team is working with downtown merchants and the City of New Ulm to implement changes in the downtown area that promote social connections and improve safety for all users. Example activities include allowing parklets, reducing the speed limit on Minnesota Street in the downtown area, investigating the possibility of restoring two-way traffic to the downtown section of Minnesota Street, and other aesthetic or safety changes. 6 Safe routes to school – This team is working to increase the number of children who walk and bike to school by making the school zone and surrounding areas safer for walkers and bikers. The team is also working on implementing a “Walk, Bike Fun” curriculum through various partners to help children learn the skills needed to walk and bicycle safely. Programs are also being developed to help encourage walking and biking, walking school buses, and safety campaigns. Together with the Coalition for Active, Safe and Healthy Streets, work is being done to address the barriers identified by parents that prevent them from allowing their children to walk to school: too much traffic, the speed of traffic and uncontrolled intersections. [1] Bike group – The New Ulm Bike Group is an advocacy team working to improve safety for people who bicycle by improving safety on the streets. They have developed designated bike routes using low volume city streets that will be marked over the course of the summer, offering bike rodeos and bicycle safety classes, and promoting bicycling through various activities. [2] Coalition for Active, Safe and Healthy Streets (CASHS) – This advocacy group is working to implement a Complete Streets policy in New Ulm. A report from the Walkable and Livable Communities Institute was prepared for the New Ulm community in the fall of 2013, and this group is using the report’s recommendations to improve safety for all users of the streets in New Ulm. The group oversees the work of the Downtown Action Team, the Safe Routes to School Team and the Bike Group. [3] Worksite wellness – This team developed quarterly worksite health leader training and networking opportunities. The team is a collaborative partnership between the Chamber of Commerce, the Healthy Together Program (SHIP), the NUMC Occupational Health and Wellness Services Department and HONU Project staff. The trainings are designed to address needs identified through worksite focus groups conducted in 2015. High risk population – This collaborative team comprised of NUMC, Brown County Public Health, Park and Recreation, ProKinship and HONU staff will be conducting 4 neighborhood gathering events in May and June to collect information from New Ulm residents that are at high risk for chronic disease. The information gathered will be used to develop strategies or interventions that address those barriers. 1 Communications planning – This team is a collaboration between the Chamber of Commerce, NUMC Occupational Health and Wellness Services and HONU Project staff to transition the communications of HONU over to the community. This is a gradual transition with more partners being added as the transition progresses over the next few years. The HONU Leadership Team will be creating additional action teams as part of its long-term strategic plan.

They go that extra mile by making gifts to the NUMC Foundation to enhance healthcare services for the benefit of everyone. The annual Employee & Physician Giving Campaign is a fun, and rewarding time when our employees and physicians demonstrate their commitment to care by giving back. Employee and Physician contributions over the past year totaled over $109,000, making significant improvements in the delivery of services provided. CONTRIBUTIONS IN 2015 SUPPORTED: 3D Mammography – With a diagnosis as high as 1 in every 8 women, breast cancer touches all of us. 3D Mammography is a revolutionary new screening and diagnostic tool designed for earlier breast cancer detection by providing greater visibility in viewing the breast tissue. Our digital mammography unit will be upgraded in the fall of 2016 to include 3D software to enhance breast imaging and position NUMC as one of the only hospitals in this region of the state to offer this service. Employee Emergency Fund – This fund allows employees to help support other fellow employees in their greatest time of need. Whether for help with a mortgage payment, or basic family needs due to illness, death of a family member, or other circumstances, our employees support one another. The Employee and Physician Giving Campaign included several fun, creative events like a pumpkin carving contest and lunch for a lucky few winners with New Ulm Medical Center President Toby Freier. 26 Mental health and addiction connection line – According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, people with a serious mental health conditions wait an average of 10 years before seeking treatment. They say it is often more difficult to deal with stigma around their condition than the mental health condition itself. This phone line will connect our patients and community to mental health and addiction services within Allina Health. Scheduled to go live in October of 2016, this service will be a pivotal step in addressing mental health needs across the region. Local community non-profits and charities – Our employees also support other local area non-profits, such as United Way, who serve our communities in countless ways! It is an honor to recognize our employees and physicians for making extraordinary things possible. Because of their dedication and generosity, there are thousands of area residents whose health will benefit with the addition of new services. 27 THE YEAR (2015) I N N U M B E R S 28 Outpatient visits........................... 107,487 Nursing home visits......................... 2,387 Courage Kenny Rehab. visits........ 15,770 Volunteers ........................................... 118 Emergency Room visits ................ 10,999 Volunteer hours ............................. 12,000 Inpatient admissions ....................... 2,253 Physicians............................................... 40 Surgeries .......................................... 2,018 Employees .......................................... 505 Newborns delivered .......................... 359 Total raised................................. $398,000 Ambulance responses .................... 1,377 Donations received.......................... 5,595 Licensed beds ...................................... 62 Donors .............................................. 1,287 GIVING IN THE FUTURE A C H A R I T A B L E B E Q U E S T is one or two sentences in your will or living trust that leave to New Ulm Medical Center Foundation a specific item, an amount of money, or a percentage of your estate.
