Taylor Farms Family Health & Wellness Center opens to serve thousands of people in Gonzales regionNovember 14, 2015 was the culmination of hundreds of hours of work and millions of dollars raised to touch thousands of lives—the official opening celebration of the Taylor Farms Family Health & Wellness Center in Gonzales. Dr. Norman Nelson chaired the capital campaign committee. Before taking on this role and retiring in 2014, Dr. Nelson served 34 years on the SVMHS medical staff and was President of the Foundation Board of Governors in 1993.

More than 400 people joined the opening festivities and nearly 250 people received a free flu shot. Health screenings, refreshments and a dedication ceremony helped ring in a new era of expanded healthcare and wellness services in the area. “There was a great show of

enthusiasm from the community as well as the generous donors who made the Taylor Farms Family Health & Wellness Center a reality,” says Dr. Nelson.

“The agriculture community recognized this as an opportunity to show how much they care about employees and their families,” Dr. Nelson adds. “They were very generous and supportive of expand-ing healthcare in the communities where they operate, where their employees live and work.”

Steve Smit, VP/General Manager of Constellation Brands appreciates that the new Center will provide access to wellness and healthcare services, and improve the quality of life for many of their employees and residents of the community. “We are fortunate to be among the donors who helped fund construction of the Center, located near our Gonzales and Estancia wineries,” says Steve. Their $75,000 donation will greatly impact the overall health of the community. “The positive impact this new center will have on our area is clear,” says Steve. “Constellation has been part of this community for a long time, and understands the importance of partnering with the medical community in order to promote wellness and ensure access to vital care for families here.”

“On behalf of all of our winery and vineyard employees in the Gonzales community, it’s an honor to support the Health and Wellness Center,” says Constellation Brands Jay Wright, President, Wine and Spirits Division. “Constellation has a large presence in the community. We have approximately 110 full-time and 200 seasonal winery and vineyard employees in the local area.”

The new Taylor Farms Family Health & Wellness Center will greatly benefit the residents of the community, and help the physicians and staff care for patients. As part of SVMHS, the Center’s physicians now have instant access to electronic health records for their patients, greater collaboration with other SVMHS physicians, enhanced referrals to specialists and the opportunity to help

Many organizations and individuals went the extra mile to show their support for expanded healthcare in the Gonzales

area. One example is the Portuguese Fraternal Society of America, Monterey Chapter (PFSA Council #30). Dorothy Blakeman, MSN, RN, CDIP, CCS, CCSP, CMAS, at SVMHS since 1983, is a nurse auditor in the audit and compliance department. She coordinated a heartfelt donation from PFSA Council #30, where she and her late mother, Theresa Murphy, were active members. “I’ve known the Center’s Medical Director, Dr. Christine Ponzio personally and professionally for 30 years; she cared for my mother 20 years ago and during the last 8 months of her life,” says Dorothy. “For two years, our PFSA coun-cil had been looking for a community project where we could have a lasting impact with money we’ve raised.” She learned of the Center and brought it to the council for a vote. The Blood Draw Station was named in honor of the donation by PFSA Council #30. “My mom loved her Portuguese heritage and loved what we were able to contribute to the community, and she would have loved our choice.” Dorothy joined many other thankful and generous donors and community members at the dedication ceremony.

“Everyone benefits from the new Center—patients, employees, employers, doctors and South County communities,” comments Pete Delgado, SVMHS President/CEO. “We are so very grateful for the amazing generosity of local agriculture leaders, businesses and individuals who brought this important resource to the region.”

A SPECIAL THANK YOU


Welcome new Board President David Ramos, MD. Thank you to immediate Past President Gary Vincenz. Just reading the resume of the incoming Foundation Board President would exhaust most people and yet somehow, David Ramos, MD manages to do it all and have fun in the process. He’s a cowboy at heart and a doctor by training and profession. Dr. Ramos is an emergency room physician who has been part of the SVMHS medical staff since 1998, Chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine from 2011 to 2015 and an active supporter of the Foundation. We are so proud and pleased that he now serves as the President of the Foundation Board of Governors, the first physician to serve in that position since Norman Nelson, MD held it in 1993. In November 2015, he took over the reins from outgoing president Gary Vincenz. “I’m thankful to the Foundation for this opportunity and look forward to working with other board members and staff,” says Dr. Ramos. “I’m especially thankful for Gary’s leadership over the last few years.”

“I am excited about David Ramos coming on as new President,” says Gary. “We share a passion for the hospital and the work of the Foundation. It’s good to know there’s an excellent hospital with great doctors and staff near where we live. We can all be proud of the generosity of our community, volunteers, board members, physicians and staff for their support of the hospital through the Foundation.”

In addition to his role as President of the Foundation Board, Dr. Ramos is Vice Chief of the SVMHS Medical Staff and will move into the Chief of Staff position in October 2017— the first emergency medicine physician to serve as Chief of Staff. It’s a total of a six-year commitment that started October 2015 as Vice Chief of Staff. He will serve as Associate Chief of Staff for two years beginning October 2019, helping to prepare the next Chief of Staff for this important role. “It’s a great process where I can learn and serve at the same time,” he says. “I am truly honored and thankful to great mentors like Gary and Dr. Orlando Rodriguez, current Chief of Staff.”

Dr. Ramos goes above and beyond the call of duty in caring for patients, the hospital and the community. His inner cowboy shines as a long time committee member and participant in the Men’s Trail Ride. He’s been on the Foundation board since 2011 and has helped raise funds to support hospital services and programs for more than a decade. Dr. Ramos actively recruits other physicians to support the hospital through the Foundation by participating in events as well as making direct contributions.

Dr. Ramos sees his role as multifaceted. “As a physician at SVMHS, I can be an ambas-sador for folks who want to support the hospital and an interpreter for those who want to better understand the needs,” Dr. Ramos says. “I’m also able to explain the significance of specialized equipment, services and programs that we are supporting as a Foundation. As a physician who works full time and volunteers as well, I set an example and show that it’s worth their time, energy and dollars to go forward with these projects. It keeps me humble.”

As a physician at SVMHS, I can be an ambassador for folks who want to support the hospital and an interpreter for those who want to better understand the needs.

—David Ramos, MD

DONOR PROFILE

“We are fortunate to have a generous, community-focused owner in Hector.”

—Ramon Castro, local sales manager


Alejandro Ramirez with Miguel Pelayo, Wolfhouse Radio Group

Wolfhouse Radio Group Hosts Sixth Radiothon for CMNHFor the sixth year, Wolfhouse Radio Group raised thousands of dollars to support the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Program (CMNH) at Salinas Valley Memorial. This year, the local radio partner broke their previous record, raising more than $78,000!

La Buena KRAY 103.5 and Radio Lobo KMJV 106.3 kicked off the radiothon on Friday September 11, 2015. Both Wolfhouse Radio Group stations dedicated airtime from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday to the CMNH fundraiser. With the support of Wolfhouse Radio Group founder Hector Villalobos, the stations also promoted the event for three weeks leading up to the radiothon. “We are fortunate to have a generous, community-focused owner in Hector,” says Ramon Castro, local sales manager. While he’s very modest about the fact, Ramon championed the annual event to support CMNH back in 2009.

“A large amount of donations come from cuadrillas working in the fields,” says Ramon. Workers pool their donations and designate someone to deliver the money to the station, often in vegetable or berry boxes. “At the same time, our listeners are inspired and come to the studios and donate.” One local business owner, Alejandro Ramirez of Alejandro Ramirez Farms, matches his employees’ donations dollar for dollar. Thanks to the generosity of his employees, and his match, they raisedmore than $7,500 during the 2015 radiothon.

“Every penny goes directly to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals program at Salinas Valley Memorial,” says Ramon. Ramon stresses that the credit goes to the staff who volunteer their time and talents, and to the hardworking farmers, growers and workers in the fields who in turn inspire packing companies as well as people throughout the community. “We can’t say thanks enough to our community for their support,” he says. They’re the ones to make the radiothon a success.”

Beads of Courage A beautiful string of memories

CHILDREN’S MIRACLE NETWORK HOSPITALS

8 WINTER 2016 • Supporting Excellence In Healthcare8 WINTER 2016 • Supporting Excellence In Healthcare

While many parents record their baby’s milestones in weeks, months and years, parents whose newborn stays in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) mark milestones in minutes, hours and days. Beads of Courage—one of the many programs funded by your donations to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Program at Salinas Valley Memorial—creates a tangible string of memories for parents of babies in the hospital’s Level III NICU.

When a baby comes to the NICU, the parents are given beads that spell out the baby’s name, a “happy birthday” bead, a hand-made bag and a bead string. Beads of Courage helps the family celebrate the small things and the large things, mark the ‘firsts’ as well as difficult times. Each bead is a symbol of the baby’s progress and something the parents can look at and say “we made it through this.”

Identical twins Seraphina and Felicity Zelenski spent 38 days in Salinas Valley Memorial’s NICU. “The days kind of blended together,” says mom Katie, “but when I could lay the beads out on the table and look at them, it was very clear how much we’d gone through.” “Almost everything else about the twins is exactly the same, but there are a couple of differences in their chains,” adds Anthony, the twins’ father. “The beads will be a great way for the girls to celebrate their individuality.”

For first-time parents Sarah and Carlos Rodriguez, baby Crosby made quite the entrance…at home…seven weeks early. After EMTs delivered Crosby, he was rushed to Salinas Valley Memorial’s NICU. “I take the home birth bead personally, because I took part in that one,” says Sarah. Carlos is particularly fond of the bead that signifies the first time he held his son. “That’s when I really started to feel like a dad,” he says.

HUG is more than a word that makes you feel good – it’s an acronym at Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System for doing good. HUG is an employee giving program that stands for Help Us Grow. Since 1991, employees throughout the Healthcare System have contributed more than $1.3 million in support of hospital services and equipment through the Foundation. The program demonstrates that employees believe in the organization so much, they support it through the Foundation. It sets an inspiring example that helps foster support throughout the community.

“Employee support means a lot to Foundation board members and donors,” says Executive Director Kendra Howell. “Our employees work hard and their participation in HUG shows they want to give even more by donating to the Foundation. It’s wonderful to have the support of hourly, per diem, full-and part-time employees as well as administration. They all come together to expand and improve patient services and programs.”

The 2015/2016 HUG campaign rolled out in November and so far has raised more than $32,000 over last year’s total, bring-ing employee donations through the HUG program to over $105,000 for the campaign year. The previous year, employee donations through the HUG program were nearly $75,000.

Another form of patient care

Like any donor, employees can designate a fund, such as the Taylor Farms Family Health & Wellness Center, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals program at SVMHS, ICU Waiting Room In Memory Of John Silveira, RN (2013 Nurse of the Year), or give to the area of biggest need.

“We all have an opportunity to be a part of the many good works accomplished through Foundation funding,” says Pete Delgado, SVMHS President/CEO. “Our gifts to the Foundation through the HUG program carry even more significance than the donation itself. Our support signals to the larger giving community outside our organization that our Foundation has the support of our employees, sending an important message that it is worth their support as well.”

Message from the Executive DirectorIt is such an honor to be part of an amazing team that includes our Board of Governors, members of our event and campaign committees, countless volunteers and a dedicated Foundation staff. I know I speak for all of them as well as the staff and physicians of Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System when I thank outgoing board president Gary Vincenz for his commitment and leadership to the Foundation; and welcome Dave Ramos, MD as our new president. Dave has long been involved with the Foundation and follows Dr. Norm Nelson as the second member of the SVMHS medical staff to serve in this position.

We just ended an exciting year and we look forward to all that 2016 will bring. Our support of patient care at Salinas Valley Memorial would be impossible without your generous donations of time, energy and dollars. Thank you for your continued support of our Healthcare System.
