Lake Superior is considered to be one of the most haunted lakes of all time due to the insanely high number of unrecovered shipwrecks and bodies that litter the lake floor. In fact, Lake Superior has earned two foreboding nicknames: “The Lake That Never Gives Up Her Dead” and “The Graveyard of the Great Lakes”. Lake Superior has also earned the title of being one of the “Top 10 Most Haunted Lakes in the World”. Today we learn about the most famous of all of the bodies still entombed on the lakebed floor: “Old Whitey”. Whitey's corpse is found floating inside the engine room of the SS Kamloops, which sank on the Canadian side of Lake Superior in the 1920s and has never been removed. Divers report seeing Old Whitey's corpse AND his ghost floating around the ship, following them throughout the wreckage. And if that weren't scary enough, we also delve into the the fear known as “submechanophobia”, which Aly definitely has.

At the same time, Jason has successfully overseen and managed the merger of Connecticut's two largest food banks: Connecticut Food Bank and Foodshare, creating one statewide food bank that can better meet the needs of our community. Nomination: Jason has demonstrated tremendous leadership in his role as CEO of CT Foodbank / Foodshare, no more so than throughout the pandemic. He collaborated effectively with his team and countless external partners, including donors, partner agencies, food industry partners, volunteers and government agencies and officials, to respond to an unprecedented spike in food insecurity. Jason and his team helped hundreds of thousands of people in need across the state through innovative programs. We should all value Jason's leadership and the positive impact he has had on all of our communities. Jason's leadership, at such a pivotal time in CT Food Bank | Foodshare's history, has been truly outstanding. He has managed the organization and stepped up throughout this pandemic to support the people of CT during an intense time of need. Last year under Jason's leadership we distributed nearly 40 million meals to a network of more than 700 community based hunger relief programs. Together we serve the estimated 545,000 people in Connecticut struggling with food insecurity. In addition, Jason's role in bringing CT Food Bank and Foodshare together to serve people across the entire state has laid the foundation to address food insecurity on a whole new level, and the organization is poised to grow into one of the most innovative and well run food banks in the country. I am confident that, with Jason's leadership, this organization will do great things to combat hunger in CT.

David Callecod, CEO of Lafayette General Health, Shares Impact of COVID, Oschner Merger

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 30, 2020 57:41

Lafayette General Health System CEO David Callecod joined Jan Swift to discuss how COVID-19 has impacted our healthcare system and way of life. The bottom line is that progressing to Phase III of the pandemic, the full reopening of our economy, and returning to "normal" is totally dependent on our own individual and collective behavior changes: everyone must wear a mask, maintain social distance, wash their hands, and stay home if sick. The reality is that for the next 18 months (and worst case scenario, the next 24 months), we will not going to be back to the life we experienced and enjoyed as "normal" before the pandemic closed down the U. S in March 2020. Moreover, some people will probably continue to wear masks from here on out, in a manner similar to Asian and European countries pattern, particularly if their immune system is compromised. We all need to be diligent every day in making good choices as to how we work together and celebrate life as we wait for an effective vaccine to be developed. Callecod shared a telling story about a recent COVID outbreak affecting 18 anesthesiology residents and fellows of the University of Florida Health System following a private party on July 10; even with explicit warnings about private gatherings, these events continue to happen across the U. S., even among our most educated. Locally, Callecod says it is "absolutely safe" to enter hospitals, as long as people make good choices in wearing a mask and following good hygiene procedures. Cleaning protocols are in place and the hospitals screen people before they enter. When determining which hospital to bring trauma victims to, emergency medical responders and hospitals rely upon LERN, "Louisiana Emergency Response Network," a statewide system of care coordination that is utilized in the face of large scale emergencies such as COVID. LERN manages data on trauma cases throughout the state, and as long as LGH can handle the case with adequate staff, people will be brought to the main campus. Callecod stated, "As long as LGH can handle it from a staffing standpoint for the patient's particular situation, we'll take the patient." There are currently over 100 COVID-19 patients at the main Lafayette General campus in the Oil Center, and they are separated from other patients in the facility. Elective procedures have been moved to other LGH campuses such as Lafayette General Orthopaedic Hospital and Lafayette General Surgical Hospital, in order to ensure that staff can take care of emergencies at the main campus which serves as the Level II Trauma Center for the region. Staff shortages experienced by hospitals has been a hot topic in the news and Callecod explained what is different now from the early days of the pandemic. "On April 13 during the first peak of the pandemic cases, we didn't have a lot of community spread, so we didn't have a lot of workers out. With the peak today, with over 140 COVID patients throughout our entire system, a lot of workers are out sick. There aren't enough nurses and we have 86 employees system wide out today with COVID. Once they're back, they are fatigued and we have to be cautious with our shifts." At the time of our interview, eight contract nurses had been recruited by LGH from outside of the region and were set to start work. The community spread of the disease is greatly impacting staffing capacity at all hospitals. Healthcare workers are in short supply as Lafayette General and other hospitals; as facilities increase ICU beds and add medical surge capacity needed to address the anticipated increased volume of patients, staffing needs will continue to grow. Typically the hospital could easily recruit out-of-state, but COVID's reach has dramatically affected the supply of available workers. Telemedicine has transformed the delivery of medical services and the lessons learned from COVID will change protocols moving into the future.

Mike Dozier of Lafayette General Health: How IT is Transforming Health Care

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 2, 2019 48:50

Mike Dozier, Lafayette General Health’s Chief Information Officer, is our guest on this edition of Discover Lafayette. Under Mike's leadership since 2014, Lafayette General has become a leader in healthcare technology in Louisiana and has enacted innovative strategies and organizational alignment through the use of IT. We focus on "telemedicine" in this interview and discuss all the ways it enhances treatment to guarantee patients the best health outcomes while saving both the consumer and healthcare provider money. The field is evolving rapidly. While telemedicine has been around for decades as doctors have been able to diagnose patients remotely, today's telemedicine tools provide open access to care as specialists treat you while you remain at your workplace, school or home. You can receive care no matter where you are. Practically speaking for us patients, telemedicine can keep our healthcare costs down, make it easier to schedule visits to healthcare providers and keep us out of the emergency room by using proactive measures to monitor our health. We can also be saved from sepsis and have access to and share our healthcare records 24/7 through the use of My Health Patient Portal. Eliminating "friction" for patients is the goal of Lafayette General to make access to care as simple as possible. Lafayette General Health is the only health system in Louisiana that has a mobile app that delivers information about wait times to see a doctor, obtain visual information about where clusters of sick people are situated throughout the state (as in where flu is raging among the population), and that allows you to check-in online to avoid waiting for your doctor's appointment. While a typical "15 minute doctor appointment" can actually take up to four hours of your time (drive there, check-in, fill out paperwork, wait, go to the backroom, wait, etc...), the mobile app dispenses with the delays and affords patients the flexibility of preparing ahead of time so that they are actually in and out of an appointment in reasonable time. A large contingent of IT professionals on staff at Lafayette General work to ensure that records are available to providers and patients, even when hurricanes and natural disasters may occur. Lafayette General's records are stored off-site in Kansas City, which is one of the most secure places in the U. S. Other sites are also utilized as backup measures to protect precious healthcare data. Redundancy is important in data security and protecting network and software applications of providers and Mike discussed how this became very apparent from Louisiana's experience in 2005 when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf Coast. Lafayette General's David Callecod announced in March 2019 that patients can have access to their medical records regardless of the electronic health record a healthcare facility uses. "When data is made readily available, providers can make diagnostic and treatment decisions more quickly, and patients can recover sooner. Better data means better communication with our patients and providers, better care and better outcomes." LGH and Our Lady of Lourdes in Lafayette are two of the first healthcare organizations in the country to share and retrieve health data via the new connection between two of the leading health IT data exchange networks, managed by CommonWell Health Alliance® and Carequality. By taking part in this pilot, Lafayette General Health and Our Lady of Lourdes can now exchange patients’ electronic medical records seamlessly through the use of technology. Lafayette General is using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to diagnose sepsis, a blood infection that kills many people while they are being treated in hospitals worldwide. Being able to detect key changes in vital signs, lab results, nursing reports, and other information can identify a patient's potential to develop sepsis earlier and quickly alert healthcare staff to changes that the eye can't de...

Katie Hebert, CEO of University Hospital & Clinics: Nurturing a Culture of Service

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 11, 2019 41:20

Katie Hebert, CEO of University Hospital & Clinics, sat down with Jan Swift of Discover Lafayette to share her mission of providing top-quality healthcare to all in need. Katie believes UHC is the best-kept secret in healthcare options in the region and her passion for serving as CEO at this teaching hospital is a testament to the compassionate care delivered to our most vulnerable neighbors. Katie Hebert's father, Dr. Bernard deMahy, was a third-generation physician who served as a family practitioner in St. Martinville. Family docs in his day handled everything from setting fractures to delivering babies. As one of twelve children, Katie loved growing up in this small town where everyone knew everyone else, and the experience of watching her dad lovingly help others shaped her formative years and inspired Katie to focus on healthcare as her vocation. Katie began her career as a respiratory therapist with an associate's degree. By the time she was 27, she had three children and earned a degree from USL, then went to LSU to earn her Masters of Science in Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation. She worked her way up in hospital administration, having started in cardiac rehab, then spending fifteen years at Dautrieve Hospital in New Iberia in various management positions. She served as Administrator of Lafayette General Surgical Hospital, and CEO at St. Martin Hospital until April 2015 when she joined University Hospital & Clinics as COO. In September 2016, Katie was named CEO of UHC. Under the leadership of Lafayette General's CEO David Callecod and a strong board of directors, St. Martin Hospital was the first hospital taken over by LGH as it expanded its reach throughout South Louisiana. During Katie's tenure as CEO, the hospital was renovated, its ER was expanded and out-patient services were added. (Karen Wyble is now serving as its CEO.) Katie emphasized that Lafayette General doesn't want to compete with rural communities, but wants to partner with them and keep the setting of healthcare where it is needed to give support to patients and allow them to stay close to home as they receive care. A little background on the history of our "Charity Hospital" system: It started out as Lafayette Charity Hospital located on St. Mary Blvd. as an indigent care provider in the 1930s, offering 50 patient beds. In the early 1980s, Charity Hospital moved to its current location at Congress and Bertrand and was renamed University Medical Center (UMC). Lafayette General Health System took over the management of UHC in 2013 and that is the point when Lafayette General Medical Center announced new leadership positions and created "Lafayette General Health System." UHC is a full-service hospital but also serves as an academic facility/teaching hospital housing medical students in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Sports Medicine, and a Geriatrics Fellowship that stay for three years. It partners with LSU to host residents who rotate while being trained in General Surgery, OB/GYN, Ophthalmology, Urology, Otolaryngology, Cardiology, and Orthopedics. Dr. James Falterman serves as Associate Dean for LSU at Lafayette who serves as LSU's Institutional Official. The presence of a teaching hospital in our region is critical to retaining physicians in Acadiana as most doctors remain in the area in which they train. When you hear of a shortage of physicians nationwide, it is due to the expense of setting up a residency program and also the difficulty in attracting students. Many students enter residency programs and give up their education due to the hardships of debt load and the time restraints in completing their residency. UHC is working to recruit specialists such as gastroenterologists, rheumatologists, endocrinologists to open clinics to give access to care in these critical areas in need. On any given day, UHC treats 800 patients in the clinics. In the ten clinic spaces, there are 22 specialties being offered.

LGH also enjoys partnerships with Abbeville General Hospital, Bunkie General Hospital, Cardiovascular Institute of the South, Franklin Foundation Hospital, Iberia Medical Center, Jennings American Legion Hospital, and Opelousas General Health System. When you combine all partners of LGH, the collective net revenue is $1.1 billion. David Callecod is passionate and optimistic about the opportunities LGH has to positively transform health outcomes in South Louisiana. Humbly providing servant leadership to LGH's vast network of health professionals, every hospital LGH has acquired has moved into the highest patient satisfaction rankings. Lafayette General 's main campus serves as the Level Two Trauma Center for all of Southwest Louisiana covering the geographic region from the Atchalayafa Basin to the Texas border. From an economic development perspective, maintaining access to this high acuity healthcare in Lafayette prevents patients from transferring to larger regional centers such as Baton Rouge or Houston. On a personal level, it affords higher quality healthcare outcomes while giving loved ones the opportunity to receive treatment close to home. A strategic partnership with Oschner Health Network was undertaken four years ago by LGH to combine its purchasing power and reduce overall costs to both systems. As the reimbursement model for health industry providers has quickly evolved, innovative approaches have been pursued to cut costs while ensuring the highest quality healthcare options to keep patients from needing to reenter the hospital. The partnership has also created an expansion of physician services such as in pediatric specialties, diagnostic imaging, and biomedical services. LGH took over University Hospital five years ago amid massive budget cuts to LSU's teaching and "charity" hospital system. Maintaining the program for graduate medical training in Lafayette is a critical component in attracting physicians to the area as many doctors decide to put down permanent roots in the geographic region in which they train. UHC and Lafayette General educate 82 residents per year, and approximately 250 residents rotate through Lafayette General from LSU each year. Specialties such as internal medicine, family practice, OB/GYN, general surgery and ENT are examples of strong programs taught, although many other specialties are represented. Lafayette General's Women's Health division is now the #1 location for babies to be born in the region and the unit assists with the delivery of over 3200 babies each year. Run by Judy Robichaux, Director of Maternal, Newborn and Pediatric Services, the unit has earned a 99% patient satisfaction rating. David Callecod serves on One Acadiana's CEO Advisory Council and he is a big proponent of the "55 by 25" initiative to ensure that 55% of Acadiana's adults achieve some type of higher ed certification by 2025. Educational achievement is directly tied to the quality of life outcomes experienced by people, including good health,
