November 2009 Welcome to Our New Unit Lewes, Delaware Beebe Orthopaedics Ranked Among the Top 5% in the Nation Top 5% in the and nation best in Delmarva for Overall Orthopaedics Beebe Medical Center has recently announced that its orthopaedic care is ranked among the Top 5% of all hospitals in the nation. The ranking is made by HealthGrades®, the leading independent healthcare ratings company, and is part of a national study of patient outcomes in the nation’s 5,000 nonfederal hospitals. HealthGrades® said that Beebe Medical Center is the only hospital in Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia to receive 5-star ratings for all orthopaedic procedures measured by HealthGrades®. “We are honored to have earned this recognition from HealthGrades®, and we are extremely proud of our Beebe team,” says Jeffrey M. Fried, Beebe Medical Center President and CEO. “Our goal at Beebe Medical Center is to continually strive to reach and maintain excellence in healthcare. This rating reflects the dedication of everyone in the medical center family—our medical staff, our employees, our Board of Directors, and our volunteers to consistently offer quality healthcare.” Beebe Medical Center also is ranked Best for Orthopaedics on the Delmarva Peninsula for the fourth consecutive year, and is ranked No. 1 in Delaware for Overall Orthopaedic Care for the fourth year in a row. Satisfied Patients Milton resident Ann Chambers, an orthopaedic patient and longtime Beebe Medical Center volunteer, was not surprised by the news. “I was very pleased with my care,” says Mrs. Chambers, who had a total knee replacement in December 2008. “It was a good experience.” Ann Chambers keeps her knee limber with the continuous passive motion machine following knee replacement surgery. Her physical therapist is Sue Flanagan, MPT. 2 Cover: Beebe Medical Center has recently opened its new Orthopaedic Wing in a renovated section of the third floor. Here, French doors open into the unit for joint replacement patients.

H E A L T H G R A D E S® GUIDING AMERICA TO BETTER HEALTHCARE® 5-star rating, 4 years in a row! Lewes orthopaedic surgeon Paul Harriott, MD, who did her surgery, was very good, Mrs. Chambers says. “He had a wonderful bedside manner.” H E A L T H G R A D E S® Expert Orthopaedic Team Dr. Harriott is one of eight Board G U I D I N G A M E R I Certified C A T O orthopaedic B E T T E Rsurgeons H E A L who THCARE® are members of the Beebe Medical Nurses monitor patients’ progress and oversee their care. Staff. Together they bring expertise to the community in a variety of orthopaedic procedures, including joint and skeletal repairs, surgeries, knee and hip replacement, and spinal surgery. Beebe Medical Center brought specialized orthopaedic care to the community in 1980 when orthopaedic surgeon James Marvel, MD, started practicing in Lewes. The care has grown to include the team of surgeons and anesthesiologists, as well as a trained and educated staff of healthcare professionals. Beebe Medical Center recently renovated a wing in the third floor of the Lewes hospital to house the increase in demand for orthopaedic services. Today, the new wing consists of 29 patient rooms and four separate nursing stations. The specialized medical staff includes certified orthopaedic nurses, nursing assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and a registered dietitian. “We are honored to have earned this recognition from HealthGrades®, and we are extremely proud of our Beebe team.” —Jeffrey M. Fried Beebe Medical Center President and CEO H E A L T H G R A D E S® Specialized Orthopaedic Wing GUIDING AMERICA TO BETTER HEALTHCARE® The Orthopaedic Wing includes one section specifically designed for patients who have had joint replacement surgery. The recuperation program here includes a variety of medical technologies that help patients control their pain and swelling and start them walking within hours of surgery. In the case of patients recovering from hip surgery, occupational therapists work with the latest tools to help the patients get back to their daily routines such as getting dressed, putting on their socks, and picking up items from the ground without injury. Marie Berntsen, RN, ONC, Director of Orthopaedic Services at Beebe Medical Center, describes the care of joint replacement patients as a continuum that begins with education. Before surgery, patients are encouraged to attend one of the free classes that take place weekly in the new wing. Here the patients learn what happens in the surgery and what they need to do to recuperate. A specialized surgical team at Beebe works with the surgeon. Following joint replacement surgery, the nurses, physical therapists and occupational therapists, HEALTHGRADES GUIDING AMERICA TO BETTER HEALTHCAR Each morning a multidisciplinary team including nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and a discharge planner meet in Beebe’s Orthopaedic Wing to discuss the special care and needs of each joint replacement patient. Ann Chambers practices going up and down stairs following her knee surgery. Here she is being aided by physical therapy assistant Cindy Canevari, PTA. 3 Good education for total joint replacement patients at Beebe Medical Center contributes to strong outcomes. Dot Chimienti, RN, conducts this class. work as a team with case managers and home health professionals to make sure that patients have a successful recovery. While patients with other surgeries, such as back surgery, do not normally require this extensive educational effort, they still receive information on their particular surgery and what they need to do to recover and return to a better quality of life. Convenient Rehab Locations Beebe Medical Center Outpatient Physical Rehabilitation and Imaging Services located in Rehoboth Beach, Georgetown, Millville, and Millsboro support the inhospital Orthopaedic Services. Physical therapy services in Millville, for example, offer patients a convenient location to continue with physical and occupational therapies following surgery. The physical therapy and imaging services in Millville, to meet the growing demand, will expand by March 2010. Mrs. Chambers says that not long after she got her new knee, she had no problem getting back to walking her Shih Tzu, Princess, four times a day. She also was able to get back to her activities at Epworth United Methodist Church in Rehoboth Beach. n Beebe Medical Center’s Orthopaedic Surgeons David Sopa, DO wilson C.

In May 2008, James Donaway was exercising on a treadmill in Georgetown when he began to suffer terrible pain in his legs. When he tried to sit down, he couldn’t move his legs and collapsed. The paramedics rushed him to the Emergency Department at Beebe Medical Center. “They said he had no circulation to his legs and that he had to have surgery urgently,” Mrs Donaway says, recalling how Dr. Katz took him Vascular patient James Donaway enjoys his morning coffee and newspaper at his into surgery right away. home in Georgetown. Mr. Donaway was diagnosed with “a complete occlusion of a previously done aortic graft”—in other words, Mr. Donaway’s main aortic artery, previously repaired at another hospital because of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), had become so blocked by clotting that blood could not flow into his legs. Without oxygen, both legs were becoming gangrenous. Mr. Donaway didn’t have much time and faced losing the use of his legs and even his life. Dr. Katz performed an emergency “right axillo bifemoral bypass” surgery—a procedure that created a “plastic” artery connecting a healthy artery near Mr. Donaway’s collarbone to the arteries in his groin that lead to the legs. Blood flow was promptly re-established, and today Mr. Donaway, at age 84, is able to walk and enjoy himself again. “We are so glad to have Beebe nearby,” Mrs. Donaway says. Expertise at Beebe While this surgery was more dramatic than many performed at Beebe Medical Center, it exemplifies the vascular services and expertise Beebe Medical Center offers the local community. Vascular disease is common, especially as we age. The vascular system is the complex network of veins and arteries that carry the blood throughout the body. When the system is healthy, blood flows readily from the Vascular surgeon Mayer M. Katz, MD, performs cutting-edge vascular surgery at Beebe Medical Center. Jane Fuller of Rehoboth Beach is back to her kite surfing just three weeks after her vascular surgery. 5 Risk Factors for Vascular Disease • Family history • Underlying issues that impact the cardiovascular system such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes • Obesity • Smoking • Sedentary lifestyle Prevention • Healthy lifestyle that includes: > Good nutrition > Regular exercise > No smoking > Maintaining a healthy weight > Finding ways to relax and be stress-free • F ollow screening guidelines set down by the American Heart Association Beebe Medical Center encourages people to dial 9-1-1 if they suffer from these symptoms, which may signal a life-threatening vascular disease: • Temporary weakness in an arm or leg • Brief blurring or loss of vision in one eye • A moment of numbness in an extremity or the face • Difficulty speaking or forming words • Momentary dizziness or loss of consciousness Contact your physician if you suffer from these symptoms, which also may signal a life-threatening vascular disease: •P ain in the calf or thigh after walking a short distance •C hanges in skin color, or foot sores that don’t heal Vascular patient Bill Meyer of Milford is Mr. Fixit in his neighborhood. heart and lungs and back again, delivering oxygen and nutrients so that our bodies work smoothly. However, if there are blockages in this system, such as from blood clots or plaque, or the walls of the vessels either harden or narrow, life-threatening complications such as heart attack and stroke can occur. A life-threatening aneurysm can occur when the walls of certain vessels in the body weaken. Beebe Medical Center offers several vascular services. A specialized and highly trained staff in the Vascular Lab performs several tests used to diagnose diseases and blockages in the vascular system throughout the body. The tests can be performed on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Beebe has state-of-the-art equipment, including color-flow duplex doppler, which is capable of the most sophisticated non-invasive diagnostic procedures available. The Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories has accredited Beebe’s Vascular Lab since August 1994. Registered vascular technologist Nicole Boyd, RVT, performs a lower extremity pulse volume recording on a patient. LEPVRs use blood pressure cuffs to obtain waveforms and blood pressures to assess for peripheral vascular disease. 6 Beebe Medical Center surgeons and surgical staff perform several different surgeries targeting the specific veins or arteries needing repair. Primary care physicians work with patients to monitor and maintain their health, and other specialist physicians on the Beebe Medical Staff treat patients for a host of vascular-related illnesses including peripheral arterial disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and heart disease. Beebe Medical Center’s Community Health Department regularly offers health screenings with the goal of early identification of these illnesses. “While we promote healthy lifestyles and preventive efforts to avoid the risk of vascular disease, we know that it is a very real problem, especially among the growing retiree populations in the communities we serve,” says Lynn Amey, Executive Director of Cardiac and Vascular Services. “We are proud to be able to offer advanced vascular care, and we look forward to continued growth in our services.” in 2008 had to have an endarterectomy for a blocked carotid artery. While his also was 90 percent blocked, he wasn’t having any symptoms. The blockage was found through a regular checkup. Blocked carotid arteries are commonly referred to as “the silent killer,” because so often there are no symptoms. A blocked carotid artery, in fact, is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke, which is the most common form of stroke and is usually caused by a clogged artery. Today Mr. Meyer, retired mechanical supervisor from Nestle, says he’s doing just fine. He spends much of his time helping others. n “While we promote healthy lifestyles and preventive efforts to avoid the risk of vascular disease, we know that it is a very real problem.” Surgery Clears Blocked Artery Jane Fuller of Rehoboth Beach is an athletic 65-year-old who regularly does kite boarding at local bays and beaches. She is a veteran at balancing herself through the waves on a board while at the same time clutching an overhead bar attached to a kite. One day last summer when she was at home, both her arms and hands started stiffening up. She collapsed. Today she knows that 9-1-1 was called and that she was rushed to Beebe Medical Center. She was diagnosed with a 90 percent blockage in one of her carotid arteries. The carotid arteries, one on each side of the neck, carry blood to the head and the brain, where thinking, speaking, feeling, and motor functions are found. Dr. Katz performed an endarterectomy, the surgical removal of plaque, and finished with a patch graft. “She’s an incredible woman,” Dr. Katz says, adding that she is doing well in her recovery and he expects to see her soon on her kite board. Bill Meyer of Milford is another patient who Lynn Amey Executive Director of Cardiac and Vascular Services Dr. Katz, together with surgeon Joseph Haydu, DO, review vascular patient films in their office at Delaware Bay Surgical Services in Lewes. 7 Shopping With Your Heart in Mind Making the Right Choices It’s easy to get overwhelmed when walking into a supermarket. There are so many choices. Most of us know that fresh fruits and vegetables are essential to a healthy diet. We know that fresh fish is important and that we should only eat red meat in moderation. Most of us know that chicken and turkey are best eaten without the skin because that’s where all the fat is. What about everything else? Habib Bolourchi, MD, a Lewes cardiologist and member of the Medical Staff at Beebe Medical Center, has taken us on a tour of a local supermarket to help us make the best nutritional choices in regards to our heart. The most important rule is to read labels, he says. That way, you are assured of being in charge of what you are buying and what you are eating. One ingredient Dr. Bolourchi strongly warns against is “trans fat.” “It has no known benefit,” he says. “It is associated with coronary disease and no one should eat it.” Other names for trans fat are “partially hydrogenated oils and hydrogenated vegetable oils.” It’s not unusual to have a product label state “trans fat free,” yet a close look at the list of ingredients will reveal that the item has “partially hydrogenated oils.” That means that the food product contains less than 0.5g of trans fat per serving. Luckily for all of us, in recent years many manufacturers have removed trans fat from the list of ingredients in processed foods. Peanut Above: Beebe cardiologist Dr. Habib Bolourchi advises shoppers to read the nutritional labels, even on dairy products. Left: Compare “like” products. Campbell’s Select Harvest brand, for example, has less fat and sodium than the Campbell’s Chunky brand. The most important rule is to read labels. butter, for example, used to be a big culprit. The most important rule to follow in the rest of the store, he says, is to read the nutritional label. •D on’t depend on what is written on the front of the can or package as there may be surprises on the nutritional label. For example, a lite or lowfat product can contain a high percentage of sodium, also known as salt, which should be avoided if you suffer from heart disease. Even healthy adults should not eat more than 3,000mg of sodium a day, according to the American Heart Association. • Dairy products can be high-fat culprits, though they are rich in calcium. Balance your choices. If you occasionally enjoy whipped cream, go for nonfat when you buy milk and ice cream. Some dairy products have high amounts of sugar and fat. Take yogurts, for example, as their ingredients and nutritional values are varied. Non-fat yogurt can be filled with sugar. Check out the plain yogurts. You can get one of those and add your own fresh fruit when you get home. Dairy products also can contain high amounts Low-fat cheeses like feta often have more sodium than other cheeses, such as cheddar. of cholesterol, and too much of that leads to heart disease. Try not to eat more than 300mg a day. Saturated fat also increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. • Fruit juices are not “fresh fruit.” They are loaded with sugar. Be aware of how much sugar you are consuming, especially if there is diabetes in the family. Again, read the labels. Some are better than others. •W hen you’ve got that craving for snack food, find those that are lower in fat and sodium. By checking and comparing labels, you can easily find the ones right for you. Pay particular attention to whether the snack items include trans fat, which has been associated with coronary disease. • Most commercial salad dressings are fat and sodium culprits. Check the serving sizes. The calories can be as high as 250 per serving, and that’s usually for only two tablespoons. How much do you use? Buying any one of a number of vegetable oils and vinegars will allow you to make healthier dressings. n Salad dressings generally are loaded with fat. “Lite” usually means less fat but also can mean more sodium. Read labels on snack items to find the ones that are best for your health. •C anned and juiced tomato products usually are loaded with sodium, but there are some low-sodium options from which to choose. •C anned soups and vegetables, as well as canned fruits, also demand your attention. Check the labels. If you are on a low-sodium diet or have problems with high blood pressure, it’s better to either buy the soups low in sodium or make your own from scratch. 9 Advanced Technology Digital Mammography Beebe Medical Center radiologist Ellen Bahtiarian, MD, enjoys working with digital technology. 10 To improve the early detection and treatment of breast cancer, Beebe Medical Center is offering digital mammography services at four convenient locations in eastern Sussex County. The services are located at Beebe Medical Center’s main location on Savannah Road in Lewes, at Beebe Health Campus on John J. Williams Highway (Route 24) in Rehoboth Beach, at Beebe Imaging at Georgetown Professional Park on Office Circle just off Route 113 in Georgetown, and at the Beebe Imaging Center in Creekside Plaza, on Route 26 in Millville. “By offering this imaging technology in locations easily accessible to our growing population, we hope that women decide to get their annual mammograms,” says Beebe Medical Center radiologist Ellen Bahtiarian, MD. While digital mammography is similar to traditional film mammography in many ways, it has advantages. Since there is no waiting for film to be developed, images are immediately available for review by the technologist. Images rarely need to be repeated for quality issues. For patients this means that they spend less time in the exam room. For radiologists, it means an image that can be easily viewed and analyzed, as well as shared with other physicians and diagnosticians electronically. “Regular mammograms are critically important so that we can catch cancer in the earliest possible stage.” ellen Bahtiarian, MD Radiologist Facts about Mammography • According to a government trial, digital mammography was significantly better than film mammography in screening women who were under age 50 or Dr. Bahtiarian says that she enjoys working with the digital technology because she can manipulate the images, just as she might do with a personal digital camera. “I can adjust the image, making it darker or brighter, or even larger so that it is Tunnell Cancer Center radiation oncologist Janete Mills, MD, says digital easier to see subtle differmammography is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. ences in the tissue,” she explains. “The images can be stored in the computer so that you always have them. They are never lost. And because they are electronic, they can be placed on a digital imaging network for other physicians to view.” The technology also allows the radiologist to magnify images that might otherwise be difficult to view, as well as to increase the contrast when imaging dense tissue. This option is especially important because dense breast tissue and breast cancer can have similar density on a mammogram. Janete Mills, MD, a radiation oncologist at Beebe Medical Center’s Tunnell Cancer Center, says the technology is one more tool to support the Beebe Medical Center medical team in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. “It allows our multidisciplinary team at Beebe Medical Center another opportunity to work together in our effort to treat our patients,” she says, explaining that the medical center’s oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and other medical professionals already work closely when diagnosing and treating cancer patients. The Beebe Medical Center Auxiliary has supported the hospital in its decision to invest in digital mammography by recently presenting the hospital with $275,000 to purchase one of the machines. “This is truly an important technology for Beebe Medical Center and we are committed to supporting the medical center in its efforts to bring quality healthcare to our community,” says Betty Surbaugh, Auxiliary President. Both Dr. Mills and Dr. Bahtiarian urge women who are 40 years old or older, or who are at high risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer, to get annual mammograms. “Don’t skip even one year,” Dr. Bahtiarian says. “Regular mammograms are critically important so that we can catch cancer in the earliest possible stage.” Appointments can be made by telephoning the Beebe Medical Center Radiology Scheduling Department at (302) 645-3278. A physician’s referral is required. n women of any age who had very dense breasts. • Digital mammography allows improvement in image storage and transmission because images can be stored and sent electronically. • Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since 1990, and these decreases are believed to be the result, in part, of earlier detection and improved treatment. Facts about Breast Cancer Not counting some kinds of skin cancer, breast cancer in the United States is: • T he most common cancer in women, regardless of race or ethnicity. • T he most common cause of death from cancer among Hispanic women. • T he second most common cause of death from cancer among white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native women. • In 2005 (the most recent year numbers are available): >1 86,467 women and 1,764 men developed breast cancer. >4 1,116 women and 375 men died from breast cancer. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention The American Cancer Society recommends these screening guidelines for breast cancer: •Y early mammograms should start at age 40 and continue for as long as women are in good health. •B reast self-exam is an important option for women starting in their 20s, as they should know how their breasts normally feel, so that they can report any changes to their healthcare providers. •W omen in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast exam (CBE) as part of a periodic (regular) health exam by a health professional, preferably every three years. After age 40, women should have a breast exam by a health professional every year. American Cancer Society 11 Giving for a Purpose Casey Walsh, RN, a nurse at Beebe Medical Center, utilizes a monitor similar to those in the Cardiac Cath Lab. 12 Robert Edgell still remembers the panic he felt in 2007 when he learned his wife, Lynn Edgell, had suffered a stroke while alone at their summer house on Lewes Beach. “I was in my office in Dover,” he recently recalled. Somehow, she was able to get to the telephone and dial 9-1-1. Within minutes the paramedics arrived and quickly got her to Beebe Medical Center in time for the treatment that not only saved her life but also allowed her to enjoy her life once again. “As we all know, the treatment one receives in the first three hours after a stroke is critical to the prospects of recovery,” Mr. Edgell wrote in his letter to Beebe Medical Foundation Executive Director Alex Sydnor. The letter reported on Mrs. Edgell’s good recovery and accompanied a donation of $25,000 so that Beebe Medical Center could help other patients at risk of stroke. “Mr. Edgell’s generous gift is greatly appreciated and has helped Beebe Medical Center as we continually improve the care we provide our patients,” Mr. Sydnor says. With the donation, Beebe purchased new Philips IntelliVue patient monitors for its Cardiovascular Institute. These monitors are used to observe patients’ vital signs, such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and oxygen saturation as patients recover from diagnostic arterial studies. The monitors also store information for later viewing or trending. Blockages of the carotid arteries are frequently the cause of Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs) or strokes. TIAs are sometimes called “warning” or “mini” strokes and can signal that a patient is at high risk to suffer a stroke. Many donors have designated gifts to a specific Beebe program that has helped them or a member of their family. Directed gifts allow donors to express their commitment to a service they strongly believe in to support their local, not-for-profit, communityowned hospital. This year, for example, 15% of the funds to be spent on capital projects come directly from the Beebe Medical Foundation. “Donations are critically important to Beebe Medical Center,” says Jeffrey M. Fried, Beebe President and CEO. “It would be difficult for us to continue to grow, expand, and develop the services we provide to our community without them.” Beebe Honor Roll of Donors (7/1/2008–6/30/2009) Beebe Medical Foundation was established in 1989 with the sole mission to raise philanthropic support for Beebe Medical Center. Through the efforts of the Foundation more than $28 million has been raised to support new construction and renovation of medical facilities, new and ongoing medical programs, and to establish an endowment fund to ensure Beebe will always be available for this community. As an independent not-for-profit organization Beebe Medical Center relies on the generosity of the many individuals, businesses, and foundations that are listed in this Honor Roll of Donors. Beebe Medical Foundation is located in the former home of Dr. Richard Beebe, who co-founded Beebe Medical Center in 1916 with his brother Dr. James Beebe. The house originally stood down the street on the site of what is today the clinical building of the hospital. School of Nursing Campaign The proceeds from the School of Nursing Initiative will benefit Beebe Medical Center’s School of Nursing construction project. There is a critical nurse shortage in Delaware and across the country. Nurses provide frontline care and comfort at difficult times in patients’ lives. The new nursing education building will double the capacity of the current nursing class and enable us to graduate more nurses. The new facility will also provide the latest technologies in nursing education. In Honor of Mr. and Mrs. J.

Young Jean & Joan Fund Golf Tournament October 7, 2008 The Jean & Joan Fund was established in the memory of Jean James and Joan Martin, two outstanding women who lost their valiant battle with cancer. During their final months, both women were surrounded by families that loved and cared for them and a circle of friends who generously gave their time and support. It is most important that people going through these trying times receive all the physical and spiritual support available. The goal of the Jean & Joan Fund is to assist the Tunnell Cancer Center in providing care and comfort for patients. The fund has supported the establishment of the Jean & Joan Reflection Center at the Tunnell Cancer Center, purchased two vans for the transport of patients to and from their treatments, funded the building of the enclosure for the Tunnell Cancer Center Healing Garden, and supports the Tunnell Cancer Center Special Needs Fund. The 2008 Golf Tournament raised $30,000, bringing the total Jean & Joan Fund contributions since its inception to $250,000.

Hudson Wing, funded in part by the Vision 2005 Campaign. Thanks to hundreds of donors the emergency services staff is able to deliver more efficient and effective treatment to the 41,000 patients who come through our doors annually. Beebe’s Lewes Emergency Department now boasts 30 treatment rooms, plus seven cardiac/trauma rooms. Process improvement and state-of-the-art technology, including our own CT scanner, enable faster patient flow for our growing numbers of older and sicker patients. Other patient-friendly enhancements include: • a “lean tract” for non-urgent care • bedside registration • direct to bed when available More than 60 percent of ambulance patients in Sussex County are brought to Beebe. The skilled paramedics in Sussex County, serving under my medical direction, along with that of Paul Cowan, DO, and other physicians in Sussex Emergency Associates (SEA), play an important role in the early treatment and stabilization of patients en route to Beebe Medical Center. Our Level III trauma service enables Beebe to deal with almost any situation that might confront us. The physicians, nurses, technologists, and support staff in the Emergency Department all take great pride in our work. We thank you for your support. However, our patients, some of whom might be your family members, friends, or neighbors, have reason to celebrate the most. Gratefully, Kevin D. Bristowe, MD Chief, Emergency Services (April 2008) classic at baywood Greens charity golf tournament June 3, 2009 The Classic at Baywood Greens Golf Tournament was established by a committee of individuals that partnered with local sponsors to benefit the Tunnell Cancer Center. The Classic’s contributions allow expanded comprehensive cancer care service. From diagnosis through treatment and beyond, patients at the Tunnell Cancer Center are never alone. The 2009 Golf Tournament raised $30,000 to assist Beebe Medical Center in providing both hope and wellness to cancer patients and their families. The committee greatly appreciates the local sponsor support. EVent Committee Co-Chairs Cindy Szabo, Esq. Drew Walls Honorary Chair Sarah Brady Members Rob Book Matt Dickens Jeffrey M.
