Nurse Anesthetists Celebrate 150 Years of
Providing Quality and Excellence in Anesthesia Care
St. Claire Regional (SCR) recognizes the long history
and enduring record of patient safety Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) have provided in
Rowan County. Join us in celebrating their quality and
excellence in anesthesia care during National CRNA
Week Jan. 24-30.
“Our patients and their safe journey through surgery is
our priority,” says Joy Ray, SCR CRNA. “We care for
them at a very vulnerable time in their life, and it is an
honor to provide safe, quality anesthesia for all of our
patients, one at a time.”
St. Claire Regional CRNAs
First Row (L to R): Joy Ray, Carri Hicks
Second Row (L to R): Emily Mason, Cindy Blankenship, Irene Rooney, Kristi Lynch
Established by the American Association of Nurse
Anesthetists, National CRNA Week was created to
encourage CRNAs to take the opportunity to educate
the public about anesthesia safety, questions to ask prior
to undergoing surgery, and the benefits of receiving
anesthesia care from nurse anesthetists.
“One of the many rewards of being a nurse anesthetist is providing patients with the comfort of knowing that I will be by their side
monitoring their vital signs and adjusting their anesthetics to ensure a pain free and safe anesthesia experience,” says Kristi Lynch, SCR
CRNA.
Nurse anesthetists are advanced practice registered nurses who administer more than 34 million anesthetics in the United States each
year, and practice in every setting in which anesthesia is available.

Elizabeth Matera, MD receives cancer liaison
physician appointment
St. Claire Regional (SCR) is proud to announce
that Elizabeth Matera, MD, SCR family medicine
physician, has been appointed to the position of
cancer liaison physician for SCR’s cancer program.
Matera is among a national network of more than
1,500 volunteer physicians who are responsible
for providing leadership and direction to
establish, maintain and support their facilities’
cancer programs. Matera, who has a significant
interest in the diagnosis and treatment of patients
with malignant diseases, is a member of the
multidisciplinary cancer committee at SCR.
Cancer liaison physicians are responsible for
evaluating, interpreting and reporting their facilities’
performance data through the National Cancer Data
Base (NCDB) and facilitating quality improvement
initiatives based on data findings. In addition,
cancer liaison physicians lead the Commission on
Cancer (CoC) initiatives within the cancer program
and collaborate with agencies such as the American
Cancer Society on behalf of the hospital. The CoC
collects data from its accredited cancer programs and
provides tools for these programs to facilitate analysis
of patterns of diagnosis, treatment and quality of care
for patients treated at the hospital.
SCR’s cancer care program is accredited by the American
College of Surgeons through its adherence to the Commission
on Cancer’s Program Standards. For more information or for

St. Claire Regional Medical Center and Radio Eye partner
to provide reading service to patients in hospital
Radio Eye, Kentucky’s only radio reading and
information service for those who are visually
impaired or physically disabled, is proud to
announce its recent partnership with St. Claire
Regional Medical Center (SCR).
Formed in 1988, Radio Eye is a nonprofit
organization based in Lexington that broadcasts
the reading of printed news, magazines and
community events to people who are blind,
visually impaired or have any disability that makes
reading difficult or impossible.
Through this partnership, Radio Eye’s 24-hour
broadcast is available to all patients at SCR on
in-house television channel 88.2. “This partnership
allows us to provide a new, unique service in our
facility,” Mark J. Neff, SCR President/CEO, said.
“In addition to the high quality care we provide,
we strive to provide our patients with advanced
resources, in hopes of making their stay the best it
can possibly be.”
Amy Hatter, executive director of Radio Eye, said,
“We are excited to be able to offer this additional
service in Morehead. We’ve been in Morehead
a few months now, through a partnership with
Morehead State Public Radio, so people can have
our service in their homes – we’re glad to have this
opportunity to offer another way for listeners to
tune in.”
3C’s Christmas was full of donations this year... to and from SCR
Madalyn is a 7-year-old from Morehead who
wished to donate stuffed animals to sick children
in the area for Christmas. She even purchased the
gifts with her own money. Thanks, Madalyn!
Third Central’s tree this year was decorated to
the theme of “Furry Friends Christmas,” with the
Grinch and his best friend, Max, being featured.
To carry out the theme, a variety of animal food,
toys and supplies were collected and donated to
Rowan County Animal shelter. Even animals need
a little Christmas cheer!
