Message from the
President & CEO
Dear Friends,
The beginning of a new year is the perfect time for making
changes. For example, the Lakeland HealthCare Board of Directors
— composed of volunteer members from our community – has
approved new mission and vision statements to help guide Lakeland
into the future. The language is straightforward, and it represents
quite a shift in how we think about providing care. Instead of focusing
on what we do within our own hospital or clinic walls, we’re viewing
health with a much wider lens.
A mission statement describes who we are as an organization, or why
we exist.
Our new Mission is
“To Enhance Health and Serve Our Community.”
A vision statement describes what we hope to do or to accomplish.
Our new Vision is
“To Positively Transform Healthcare and the Health
Choices of Those We Serve and Employ.”

Vice President, Strategy and
Business Innovation
At Lakeland, we’re not only on a mission to treat those who are sick
and injured, we’re on a mission to improve health. It will require keen
attention to addressing issues upstream, before medical intervention
is needed. We’ll focus on promoting healthy choices, healthy
behaviors, health education, and timely health screenings, just to
name a few.
So if a renewed commitment to a healthier lifestyle is on your list of
resolutions this New Year, we hope you’ll join us in our efforts. And if
you’re looking for a good place to get started, be sure to read about
the classes and programs offered near you in our Calendar section
starting on page 8.
Best wishes to you and your family for a happy and healthy New Year!

New Hanson Care Park
Facilities Unveiled
In October, hundreds of community members toured
the new Merlin and Carolyn Hanson Hospice Center
and Pine Ridge: A Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.
Both facilities are located at the 18-acre Hanson Care
Park off of Cleveland Road in Stevensville. The buildings
are nestled among mature trees and scenic walking
paths in a quiet, country-like setting.
Merlin and Carolyn Hanson Hospice Center
Thanks to the generous support of our community,
the Merlin and Carolyn Hanson Hospice Center is now
open and caring for residents. The residence is a special
place where caregivers provide compassionate and
comprehensive physical, spiritual, and emotional care
to our community’s friends, families, and neighbors.
This home-away-from-home creates space for all the
moments — big and small — that are a part of this
important time for people and their families.
Pine Ridge: A Nursing
and Rehabilitation Center
If you would like more information about the
Hanson Hospice Center or about hospice care in
general, please call Hospice at Home at (269) 429-7100
or visit www.hospiceathomecares.org
Pine Ridge is a state-licensed skilled-nursing and
short- and long-term care facility. The center offers
professional nursing services, social and rehabilitative
programs, and residential care for individuals who can
no longer live independently at home. With nearly
60,000 square feet of space, the 33 private and 39 semiprivate rooms of Pine Ridge comfortably accommodate
111 residents.
The layout of Pine Ridge creates four distinct
neighborhoods, and each neighborhood provides
a living, dining, and activity space for residents. The
center also includes a large multipurpose activity room,
two separate courtyards, and several private porches.
For more information about Pine Ridge, contact

To Your
Health
Heart to Heart
Her symptoms were subtle. But her husband
knew something wasn’t quite right.
After losing her 56-year-old mother to a heart attack,
Elaine Bokhart of Mishawaka was all too aware that
she could also be at risk for the same fate.
“I spent the next 18 years always a little afraid of my
mother’s history and a little worried that I would have
a heart attack just as she had,” Elaine, 54, explained.
But when she experienced odd sensations in her left
arm and a tingling sensation at the top of her head
one morning while she drove to work last December,
she didn’t think much of it at all. She and her husband
of just nine weeks, Rick, were halfway to their jobs at
Medic 1 Ambulance in Benton Harbor where she
works as an administrative assistant and he works
as a mechanic.
Once at work, Elaine sat down in the lounge, which was
unusual for her. She told one of the supervisors that she
was fine, but “just felt a little funny.” Trying to ease her
husband’s worry, she had her blood pressure checked
(it was slightly elevated) and eventually called her
doctor’s office.
“I really wouldn’t have gone to the doctor if my
husband hadn’t been hovering around me,” Elaine said.
“We’re newlyweds – he didn’t want something to
happen to me!”
“Know yourself, know your body,
and know if something just isn’t
right for you.”
– Elaine Bokhart
Elaine Bokhart’s husband, Rick, urged
her to see her doctor when she started
experiencing odd symptoms one December
morning in 2012. Later that day, she learned
she was actually having a heart attack.
4
Leanne Mancini, DO, of Family Physicians of St. Joseph,
examined her and performed an electrocardiogram
(EKG) on Elaine. Knowing that heart issues ran in
her family, Elaine had already had a baseline
electrocardiogram at age 50 through Dr. Mancini.
“She didn’t really see anything that concerned her on
the EKG, but just to be safe because of the history of
my mother, she wanted me to go to the Emergency
Department and have blood work done to check my
cardiac enzymes,” Elaine said. When heart muscle is
damaged, as with a heart attack, levels of certain
enzymes and proteins rise in the bloodstream.
Once at Lakeland Regional Medical Center, St. Joseph,
tests confirmed that Elaine was indeed having a heart
attack. Dilip Arora, MD, Interventional Cardiologist,
Great Lakes Heart and Vascular Institute, admitted her to
the hospital and began treating her with nitroglycerin
and a blood thinning medication. He performed
an angiogram on her the next morning.
“Lucky for me I had no major blockage and I could be
treated with medication alone,” said Elaine.
Elaine’s advice to anyone – and especially to women
who often put their own health needs last – is to
“Know yourself, know your body, and know if
something just isn’t right for you.”

Early Heart Attack Care
What You Know Can Save a Life
Did you know that about half of patients who have
heart attacks experience early warning signs days or
weeks before? Damage to the heart can be prevented
if these mild or subtle signs are recognized and
treated early. Knowing the early symptoms and
seeking emergency medical help are a part of
Early Heart Attack Care (EHAC).
Early Symptoms of a Heart Attack
Remember, people may or may not experience any or
all of these symptoms. Some people may experience
mild chest symptoms, such as pressure, burning,
aching, or tightness. These symptoms may come and
go until finally becoming constant and severe:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Anxiety
Back pain
Chest pressure, squeezing, or discomfort
Fatigue
Feeling of fullness
Jaw pain
Nausea
Pain that travels down one or both arms
Shortness of breath

EXPECT THE BEST
Suffering from PMS Pain?
Seek Your Doctor’s Help
Most women approach their menstrual period with a
certain amount of dread. This is because pain, bloating,
mood swings, and other physical symptoms tend to
accompany menstruation, often making day-to-day life
uncomfortable until a woman’s period has ended.
“Three out of every four women have adverse
symptoms near the onset of their period,” said
Heidi Grabemeyer, MD, Obstetrician/Gynecologist
at South Shore Women’s Health Care in St. Joseph.
“These symptoms are collectively known as Premenstrual
Syndrome (PMS). If symptoms are particularly severe,
a woman’s condition is called Premenstrual Dysphoric
Disorder, or PMDD.”
There is no known cause or cure for PMS or PMDD, but
scientists believe symptoms are due to the monthly
fluctuation of hormones in the body and serotonin in
the brain.
Some symptoms related to PMS and PMDD include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Abdominal cramps, bloating, or weight gain
Acne flare-ups
Anxiety, irritability, anger
Backache
Constipation or diarrhea
Depressed mood
Fatigue or sluggishness
Food cravings
Headache
Insomnia
Poor concentration
Tender breasts
Symptoms can begin up to 14 days before a period and
generally subside once a period ends.
“There are many common sense measures that can
make PMS more tolerable,” said Benjamin Wood, DO,
Obstetrician/Gynecologist at BellaNova Women’s Health
in St. Joseph. “These include getting daily exercise, using
over-the-counter pain relievers (such as Motrin®, Tylenol®
or Aleve®), avoiding alcohol and caffeine and drinking
plenty of water instead, eating smaller but more frequent
meals, or adding snacks such as yogurt or complex
carbohydrates. Avoiding salt may help decrease the
sensation of bloating. Adding calcium and magnesium
either in the diet or by supplement may help improve
more mild symptoms of PMS. “

“Your medical provider may prescribe
stronger pain medications, antidepressants,
birth control pills, and even diuretics, which
can help control the swelling and bloating
that can accompany menstruation.”
- Heidi Grabemeyer, MD, Obstetrician/Gynecologist
South Shore Women’s Health Care in St. Joseph
If you’re unable to manage your PMS or PMDD symptoms
on your own, make an appointment to see your doctor. Try
to keep a diary of symptoms so your doctor can see which
symptoms occur most often when you menstruate.
“Many medical interventions can make menstruation less
painful,” said Dr. Grabemeyer. “Your medical provider may
prescribe stronger pain medications, antidepressants (which
can help relieve some PMS symptoms), birth control pills,
and even diuretics, which can help control the swelling and
bloating that can accompany menstruation.”
Both doctors agree that although discomfort is often a part of
menstruation, no woman needs to suffer needlessly.
“If your periods are affecting your ability to work, take care of
your family, or enjoy your regular lifestyle, it’s time to talk to a
healthcare provider about treatment options,” said Dr. Wood.
“It may take time take to find the right solution, but there are
many good treatments available for women who need help
managing the PMS or PMDD affecting them each month.”

Leaving Pain in the Dust
Jason Griffiths of Berrien Springs enjoys living life to
the fullest. Whether he’s mountain biking, jet skiing, or
coaching his daughter’s softball team, it’s clear he’s not
interested in sitting on the sidelines.
“You can tell it’s more than a job
for him. Dr. Sikorski cares about what he’s
doing. He understands he’s making
a difference in a lot of people’s lives.”
- Jason Griffiths
Resident of Berrien Springs
In the spring of 2013, at age 40, Jason wasn’t willing
to let a degenerative spinal disc condition take him
out of the game for good. He was ready to get rid of
the back pain, numbness in his leg, and an inability to
sleep, symptoms that physical rehabilitation, stretches,
cortisone injections, and pain medications were not
helping.
In May 2013, he underwent a third microdiscectomy
to ease the pain of a bulging disc in his lower back. He
again chose Christian Sikorski, MD, FAANS, FACS,
Neurosurgeon at Lakeland Neurosurgery in St. Joseph,
to perform the minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Sikorski
had also performed Jason’s first spinal surgery in 2004.
Jason learned about Dr. Sikorski through friends
and Ronald Baker, MD, his primary care provider at
Southwestern Medical Clinic in Stevensville. Dr. Baker
referred Jason to Dr. Sikorski. Until then, he had never
had a surgery of any kind before.
“I was apprehensive,” Jason said. “But the office
visit with Dr. Sikorski – seeing his attitude and
professionalism – put me at ease.”
Jason also appreciated the coordination and
compassion of Dr. Sikorski’s team during his care,
especially Renee Shafran, Practice Coordinator, and
Amy Gibson, RN, Senior Specialty Practice Nurse.
“They understand what kind of pain you’re in, and
they’re very accommodating,” Jason said. “They
connect with you on a personal level, above and
beyond a professional level. They know me.”
After his first surgery, Jason said he walked out of the
hospital and was back to work in two weeks. He also
walked out of the hospital pain-free after his most

enjoying sports or life.
recent surgery by Dr. Sikorski – and has kept going ever
since. “I was pitching at my daughter’s softball practice the
next day,” Jason said. “A week after my surgery, I went for a
22-mile bike ride. But I took it easy – I knew my limitations.”
Jason admitted that even Dr. Sikorski has told him to “tone it
down a little” when it comes to his very active lifestyle.
“Dr. Sikorski tells you like it is – he connects with you and
talks to you like you’re more than a patient,” Jason said. “You
can tell it’s more than a job for him. He cares about what he’s
doing. He understands he’s making a difference in a lot of
people’s lives.”

Lakeland Achieves Electronic Health Record Milestone
First in State of Michigan to be Recognized for Digital Excellence
Four hospitals and three ambulatory clinics at
Lakeland HealthCare are the first healthcare organizations
in the state of Michigan, as well as in the region, to be
certified at Stage 7 by HIMSS Analytics. HIMSS Analytics
is a wholly-owned, not-for-profit subsidiary of the
Healthcare Information and Management Systems
Society (HIMSS). This accomplishment was achieved in
less than three years from the time the electronic health
record was first implemented at Lakeland. The clinics are
Southwestern Medical Clinic in Stevensville, Lakeland
Diabetes & Endocrinology in St. Joseph, and the Lakeland
Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine in Niles.
“Utilizing our EHR at HIMSS Stage 7
means we are maximizing the benefits
of the system to provide bettercare.”
During the beginning of the third quarter of 2013,
2.2 percent, of the more than 5,400 U.S. hospitals
in the HIMSS Analytics® Database, received the
HIMSS Analytics Stage 7 Award, and as of the
second fiscal quarter of 2013, only 1.23 percent of
the more than 20,000 U.S. ambulatory clinics in the
HIMSS Analytics® Database, received the Stage 7
Ambulatory Award.
“Utilizing our EHR at HIMSS Stage 7 means we are
maximizing the benefits of the system to provide
better care,” said Norma Tirado, Vice President
of Human Resources & Health Information
Management, Lakeland HealthCare. “At Lakeland
we have a team that is laser focused in producing
better patient outcomes; they would not accept
anything less.”
- Norma Tirado, Vice President of Human Resources &
Health Information Management, Lakeland HealthCare
Lakeland HealthCare will be recognized at the 2014
Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition on February
24-26, 2014, in Orlando, Fla.
“The investment in an electronic health record (EHR) is
an important part of Lakeland’s commitment to provide
exemplary service and outcomes at a competitive cost,”
said Loren B. Hamel, MD, president and CEO, Lakeland
Healthcare. “The additional technology has already
helped our caregivers to improve communication, to
reduce costs, and to save lives.”
“Lakeland HealthCare has a thorough deployment
of their EMR [electronic medical record] to enable
a new level of care coordination throughout their
service area,” said John P. Hoyt, FACHE, FHIMSS,
Executive Vice President, HIMSS Analytics. “Their
EMR deployment has significantly improved
medication safety and has enabled their case
management program which has reduced
preventable readmissions through proactive
identification of vulnerable patients.”

LIVING WELL
Living
Well
Here’s to a Healthier New You!
Is losing weight and enjoying a healthier lifestyle at
the top of your list for the New Year? The professionals
at the Lakeland Comprehensive Weight Loss Center
offer individualized help so you can reach your weight
loss goals.
Know Your Options
“Many people may not realize that in addition to
minimally invasive bariatric surgery, we also offer
non-surgical options for healthy weight loss,” said
Michael Schuhknecht, DO, Medical Director of
Bariatric Services at Lakeland HealthCare.
Components of medical weight loss options include
addressing behavioral changes, nutrition and eating
habits, and exercise. Medications such as an appetite
suppressant also may be appropriate.
For some patients, the surgical option for weight loss
is preferred. This is a decision that must be determined
by you and your doctor.
“What makes our bariatric surgery program different
is the tight schedule our patients follow after having
surgery. We work one-on-one with individuals to
provide a personal level of care and support,”
Dr. Schuhknecht said. “Obesity is a treatable medical
condition. We examine the many factors playing a
role in the disease — cultural, genetic, psychosocial,
metabolic and psychological.”
According to the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC),
losing as little as five
to 10% of your total
body weight can
reduce your risk of
diabetes and other
illnesses. It can
also improve your
blood pressure,
blood sugar, and
cholesterol.
“I love my job,” said Dr. Schuhknecht, a southwest
Michigan native. “One of the most rewarding things is
seeing the positive changes in my patients throughout
their weight loss journeys. Their outlooks improve, and
they become more active in their lives. That’s the real joy
my job brings to me – helping people to get back to life.”

Caring for the
Community
at the senior center. “I enjoy the different exercises that
Paula teaches and the variety as well as the machines that
Lakeland donated,” Dorothy said.
Tami described Dorothy as “one of the most inspiring
people” that she has ever met.
Challenge Accepted!
Healthy Changes Make a Difference
Originally from South Haven, Dorothy McDonald has
been a resident of Benton Harbor for the last five years.
When she lived in South Haven, she paid daily visits to
her local senior center, and the habit of doing so has
stayed with her. She is now a familiar face at Benton
Harbor/Benton Township Senior Services, Inc.
“It’s an outlet for me,” Dorothy explained. She said she
enjoys socializing and participating in the organized
day trips. Aside from those activities, she is also a fan of
gardening and exercising.
“We encourage people to take care of what
they can control. It is wonderful to be able
to share stories, such as Dorothy’s, which
exemplifies taking charge of one’s health.”
- Ashlee Nason, Lakeland staff educator
“Dorothy has taught me that helping someone to
change their life in a positive way is very rewarding and
worthwhile,” Tami added.
“Diabetes was a wake-up call,” Dorothy admitted. It was a
main motivation to get off medication. She has seen the
disease affect loved ones with devastating results, and she
was not willing to suffer similarly.
Aside from no longer needing diabetes medication,
Dorothy has also lost weight, allowing her to feel better
both physically and emotionally. But she is not satisfied
with her progress just yet. “Once I get off the high blood
pressure meds, then I’ll feel good,” she said.
Dorothy confided that keeping a healthy diet and working
to be off medication is difficult. “If a person wants to
live healthily, they need to stick to it,” she encouraged.
“Exercise and dieting is hard, but if someone is persistent,
it can make a real difference.”
Dorothy recommends not only the senior center to others
who want to improve their own health, but also any of
the other programs and services Lakeland has to offer.
“Lakeland isn’t just in the hospitals,” Dorothy said. “They’re
in the community.”
Her recent interest in improving her health has led
to positive results. Dorothy said she became inspired
while participating in the Be Healthy Berrien Million
Mile Challenge last spring. The activity helped her
establish two goals: being healthy and not requiring any
medication. To reach her goals, Dorothy worked with
several Lakeland health educators who supported her
efforts. By being good role models, they helped her
maintain a healthy diet and keep her diabetes and high
cholesterol under control.
Lakeland staff educators Ashlee Nason and
Tami Goslee, RN, as well as Lakeland Senior Center
Nurse Paula Rutland, RN, have worked closely
with Dorothy.
“We always talk about controllable risk factors – especially
diet and exercise – when it comes to heart disease,”
Ashlee explained. “We encourage people to take care
of what they can control. It is wonderful to be able to
share stories, such as Dorothy’s, which exemplifies taking
charge of one’s health.”
Regular exercise is a habit Dorothy has embraced – she
takes classes led by Paula three to five times each week
18
Regular exercise has helped Benton Harbor
resident Dorothy McDonald attain her
healthy lifestyle goals.
