Our promise to the community is very visible. While our campus provides a healing environment, it’s
the dedication of our doctors and nurses that truly makes a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Their commitment to delivering the right care, at the right time, in the right setting has earned national
recognition for St. Joseph Hospital.
EVENTS CALENDAR F A L L / W I N T E R
The St. Joseph
-Medicare reported that St. Joseph Hospital is one of the 95 top performing hospitals in the nation
for hip and knee replacement surgery.
-The SafeCare Group ranked St. Joseph Hospital in the top 100 for quality, patient safety and
efficiency of care.

six dimensions: cost of care, evidence-based care, mortality, harm, patient experience and
readmissions; and the 2014 Partnership Award for excellence in reducing hospital-acquired
conditions and readmissions.
Hospital Foundation
We are proud of this outstanding recognition. Perhaps even more rewarding are the clinical
improvements we achieved during Fiscal Year 2014:
- A 50 percent reduction in C. Difficile infection rates
- An almost 50 percent reduction in central line blood stream infections
- A dramatic reduction in surgical infections from 10 percent in 2012 to 8 percent in 2013
to 1 percent in 2014 (achieving best practice in the nation)

Our dedicated donor family also plays a critical role in our ability to deliver quality care. Through
philanthropic support we acquired the Xenex system. This disinfecting robot, named “Gigi” by the donor’s
granddaughter, uses ultraviolet light 25,000 times more powerful than sunlight to deactivate harmful
bacteria, viruses (such as the Ebola virus and Entrovirus 68), fungi and even bacterial spores in patient
rooms and operating rooms. Gigi enables us to disinfect surfaces to a level not previously possible.
Together we are improving patient safety and clinical outcomes. Thank you for your ongoing support
and commitment to serving the Dear Neighbor with an orientation toward excellence.

GREAT NURSING CARE | Improves Patient Outcomes
Many people believe that
hospital quality and great patient
outcomes go hand-in-hand with
skilled physicians and innovative
technology. Not so, says
St. Joseph Hospital
anesthesiologist Frank Sweeny,
MD. “Studies show that nurses
are critical players. You can have
a great physician and a great
surgery, but unless you have great
nursing care, you can have very
poor outcomes.”
Cardiologist Lawrence Santora,
MD, agrees. “You can have the
best physician in the world, but
if you don’t have a great nursing
staff, things will not go well.
Fortunately, at St. Joseph Hospital
we have truly great nurses.”
As a Magnet hospital for
Nursing Excellence, St. Joseph
Hospital fosters an environment
of continuous learning and
professional development for more
than 1,000 professional nurses
on staff. “Many of our nurses have
returned to school to earn BSNs
and advanced degrees, or to receive
highly specialized training like our
Medical Emergency Team nurses,”
says St. Joseph Hospital’s Chief
Nursing Officer Katie Skelton. “Our
clinical ladder program supports
this specialized training and
encourages clinical advancement
by building upon an expertise or a
passion a nurse may have.”
This continual focus on learning
also sharpens leadership
skills, providing nurses the
opportunity to spearhead process
improvement efforts such as
patient safety, quality, patient
flow, efficiency and stewardship.
Nurses also participate in clinical
research, publish innovative
nursing articles, and present
their work at major conferences
throughout the world. “When
you have a nursing organization
that is unwavering in its pursuit
of clinical excellence and
professional development,” says
Katie Skelton, “patients receive
a higher quality of care and,
ultimately, the best possible
outcomes.”
The pursuit of Perfect Care is
evident. During fiscal year 2014,
St. Joseph Hospital experienced
remarkable improvement in
quality of care. Achievements
include: a 50 percent reduction
in C. Difficile infection rates,
an almost 50 percent reduction
in central line blood stream
infection rates, and a dramatic
reduction in surgical site
infections – from 10 percent in
2012 to 1 percent in 2014.
not only what the body needs,
but what the heart and soul need
as well.”
“Without good nurses who are
vigilant in the care of the patient
you will not have good patient
outcomes and you will not have
satisfied patients,” says
Dr. Sweeny.
Nursing practice at St. Joseph
Hospital is founded in the 10
Caritas Processes of Watson’s
Theory of Human Caring.
This philosophy provides the
framework for transpersonal caring
relationships with patients, coworkers and the community. “St.
Joseph Hospital nurses are Caritas
nurses who embody the 10 Caritas
Processes,” says Katie Skelton. “If
a nurse doesn’t have all 10, he or
she doesn’t have what it takes to
be a nurse at St. Joseph Hospital.”
For breast surgeon Michele
Carpenter, MD, St. Joseph
Hospital nurses have become her
second set of eyes and ears. “I
see my patients in the morning
when I make my rounds, but the
nurses are with my patients day
and night so when something
isn’t right, they know it. And
when they call me I listen to what
they say. I see their independent
thinking,” she says. “There is no
way I can do my job without these
nurses.”
No matter what shift a nurse
works, nursing care is constant
and goes way beyond caring for
the body. “Nurses see inside
a patient’s eyes,” says Wendy
Escobedo, RN, manager of the
Kidney Transplant Program.
“Nurses see when patients are in
pain or afraid. Nurses constantly
look for where care is needed;
Wendy Escobedo agrees. “In
addition to clinical expertise,
St. Joseph Hospital nurses must
be connected with a patient’s
heart and soul, and know deeply
what is important to them.”
Dr. Santora understands this as a
physician and as a husband who
has watched expert nurses care
for his wife during her illness and
recovery. “You can be the smartest
nurse and the most organized
nurse, but if you don’t care about
the patient, if you don’t have that
passion to really help people, it
doesn’t work out.”
In today’s rapidly changing
healthcare environment, the
role of the nurse has never
been more important or more
challenging. Changes in
healthcare reimbursement have
resulted in shorter hospital
stays, and in most instances,
only the sickest patients are
hospitalized. This means today’s
nurse must be an expert at
providing the right care at the
right time in the right setting.
Fortunately, through a culture
of support, care, compassion,
competence and collaboration,
St. Joseph Hospital nurses
have the opportunity to grow
personally and professionally,
pursue their passions and deliver
the highest quality patient and
family-centered care.
“So the next time you leave
St. Joseph Hospital,” advises
Dr. Santora, “hug your nurse.
Thank them for the great care
you received.”

2014 UNDERWRITERS
PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE
Golf Tournament Scores a Hole-in-One
for the Emergency Care Center
PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE – TODAY
St. Joseph Hospital’s Emergency Care Center
This means reducing patient
and family anxiety by focusing
on comfort, convenience
and superior service. To help
achieve this goal, the ECC has
transitioned from a traditional
triage system to a highly efficient
process called Rapid Medical
Evaluation (RME).
“With RME we have two treatment
tracks,” says Dr. Pierog. “One for
high acuity patients and one for
patients with lower acuity like the
flu, sprains and minor injuries.”
Many of us formed our first
impressions of hospital
emergency rooms by watching
popular television shows like
ER. While Hollywood’s portrayal
of a dedicated emergency care
team is very real, the TV camera
never panned a crowded ER
waiting room, or focused on those
waiting for a hospital bed or lab
results. While these everyday
scenarios don’t make for good
TV drama, they happen every day
in emergency rooms across the
country.
And it’s going to get worse.
“Emergency rooms are already
over crowded,” says James Pierog,
MD, medical director of St. Joseph
Hospital’s Emergency Care Center
(ECC). “And as healthcare reform
unfolds and greater emphasis is
placed on keeping our community
healthy, our role in the continuity
of care is extremely important.
In this regard, we are our
community’s safety net.”
This is why St. Joseph Hospital
began transforming its emergency
room into an Emergency Care
Center. “We will continue to
provide the life-saving emergency
medical services our community
relies on,” says Dr. Pierog, “and
as a care center, we will increase
our focus on providing patient
and family-centric care.”
Rather than making patients with
less urgent medical needs wait
in the waiting room, which can
create a bottleneck, the RME
system immediately places these
patients on a treatment path
located in a separate area of the
ECC. This allows for more rapid
assessment and treatment, which
often decreases the amount
of time patients spend in the
department.
“RME also enables us to access
higher acuity patients faster,
enabling the progression of
diagnostics and a medical
screening exam,” says Dr. Pierog.
For patients en route to the
hospital via ambulance,
sophisticated technology
enables physicians to monitor
the patient’s condition remotely,
enabling highly trained patient
care staff to begin treatment as
soon as the patient arrives.
Environmental design is also a
key factor in creating an improved
patient flow. “Our emergency
department was last upgraded
in 1995 so it wasn’t designed
to accommodate paperless
technology,” says Dr. Pierog.
“To support the integration
of new clinical and workflow
technologies, we have started a
multi-phase renovation project.”
More than 229 golfers gathered on Monday, April 7, at Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club in support
of St. Joseph Hospital and the Emergency Care Center: Preparing for the Future. “The St. Joseph
Hospital Golf Tournament was a huge success this year thanks to all of the wonderful donors,
volunteers and golfers,” said Joe Conway, Event Chair.
The beautiful fun-filled day included 18-holes of golf with a merchandise store certificate, contests,
on-course food stations, premium and regular opportunity drawings and awards dinner.
Thanks to the generous support from our dedicated sponsors and players, the 29th annual
tournament netted $226,000! Special thanks to our hospital staff and volunteers who donated
their time and effort at the event. We hope to see you next year on Monday, April 20, 2015!
The project will support improved
workflow, while improving the
patient experience and allowing
for the expansion of additional
programs.
St. Joseph Hospital’s vision
for the future is to continue to
provide exceptional emergency
medical care to the community
in an environment that reduces
anxiety and promotes healing.

MAKING CARE FOR THE POOR A REALITY
Nurse Practitioners Make a Difference

weren’t well-controlled… and

there was a dire need for
access to care,” she said.

They are the ones who make
sure patients don’t fall
through the cracks. The nurse
practitioners of La Amistad
Clinic spend long days
providing care to those who
might go without were it not
for St. Joseph Hospital’s Care
for the Poor programs.
“To be a nurse practitioner
and work at La Amistad
has so many personal and
professional rewards,” said
Ann Marie Keefer-Lynch.
“Besides delivering health
care to our underserved
populations which warms the
soul, I can offer a respite for
our patients who struggle daily
with enormous obstacles.”
Keefer-Lynch decided to
practice at La Amistad
because over the years, she
saw so many patients come to
Lilia Knudtson, a family
nurse practitioner, joined the
La Amistad Clinic in 1997.
“The work is so rewarding
as our patients are generally
very grateful,” she said. “The
challenge for our clients is
often compounded by financial
constraints, psychosocial
issues and difficulty accessing
specialty care.”
As Knudtson notes, providing
high levels of quality care is
a team effort—working with
medical doctors and other
healthcare providers to promote
and maintain good health.
Nurse practitioner Janet
Hildebrand’s family
immigrated to this country
from Ecuador.
“My father was a self-taught
carpenter and my mom was a
factory worker,” she recalled.
“Many times, I served as a
translator for my parents. My
parents believed in education
and although I started as
a teacher, I discovered
nursing was my true calling.”
Hildebrand is currently working
on her Ph.D. in nursing at UCI
School of Nursing.
“I started at St. Jude Medical
Center in their Care for the
Poor programs and eventually
came to La Amistad,” she
said. “My patients are the
working poor. They are
gardeners, housekeepers,
in-home child and elder
caretakers and more. I utilize
community resources, free
medication programs and
public health services to close
the healthcare gaps for our
patients. I love to see them
implement healthy lifestyle
changes that improve their
health outcomes.”
complications. When patients have
limited incomes, they often have
difficulty finding healthy foods
and a safe place to exercise. We
work with them to help them find
healthier foods at lower prices
and brainstorm ways that they
can exercise even if they live in an
unsafe neighborhood. It’s gratifying
to see how their outlook improves as
they take control of their health for
themselves and their families.”
Joseph Barrera is the newest
Nurse Practitioner at La
Amistad. Joe began his career
in health care as an RN in the
Emergency Department. But his
desire was always to become a
nurse practitioner.
Family nurse practitioner
Theresa Ullrich began working
at La Amistad 12 years ago.
“Every time I passed La
Amistad, I knew that’s where I
wanted to be,” Joe says. “My
parents were born in Mexico
and I often took them to their
medical appointments and
served as translator. I wanted to
help others in the same way I
was able to help them.”

seen for diabetes, high blood

she said. “These are all diseases

“IT’S YOUR MONEY, IT’S YOUR ESTATE”
Workshop Series in Seventh Year
Where can you get
informative, professional
guidance on your most
important questions about
estate and financial planning
without sitting through a sales
pitch? Over 500 supporters
of our hospital have found
the answer by attending the
“It’s Your Money, It’s Your
Estate” workshop series. The
Foundation has sponsored
these valuable workshops for
the past 7 years. Professional
advisors — estate planning
attorneys, trust officers, feebased financial planners —
present the variety of topics
over the course of 8 weeks,
which is free to all attendees.
Here are comments from our
most recent workshop series:
•“Excellent content. The
non-sales environment is
well appreciated and all
presenters were best I have
heard.”
•“Very informative; explained
in clear, easy to understand
language. Moderator and
guest speakers presented
lots of useful information.”
•“This is our second
round and we constantly
recommend this workshop.
It’s a real treasure.”
•“I have told everyone how
excellent these workshops
are and how important the
need is to attend, thank
you.”
•“Very helpful series to
boost my knowledge and
confidence and to motivate
me to take control.”
Many people, like Walt and
Joan Schaer, have repeated
the workshops year after
year because of the valuable
content and the opportunity
to meet and personally
evaluate professional
advisors, without a sales
pitch. No financial products
are sold and no charitable
gifts are solicited.
If you are interested in
attending one of the
workshops please contact
Carolyn White in the
Foundation office at

NEW FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBERS
Bob Baldwin
Connie Bartlett, DO
philanthropic work when I first
started,” he admitted. “But
once the opportunity came
along, it piqued my interest. I
attended meetings, served on
committees and, over time, I
grew to love it. I had a chance
to see, firsthand, what the
Sisters had accomplished
and how important St. Joseph
Hospital is to the community.”
About ten years ago, Bob
Baldwin received a call
from St. Joseph Hospital
Foundation Board Member
Jim Cora. Would he be
interested in working with
a fundraising committee to
benefit St. Joseph Hospital?
Currently working as a
management consultant,
Baldwin had spent 30 years in
marketing, sales and operations
with The Walt Disney Company.
“Jim thought the board could
probably use someone with a
background in marketing so I
was invited to lunch to meet
with the hospital president and
the president of the foundation,”
he said. “After that, I spent nine
years on the board.”
After a short, two-year break,
Baldwin is back — serving his
fourth term.
“I didn’t know much about
In addition to his service on
the board, Baldwin has been
active on several committees:
marketing/communications,
campaign, board development
and stewardship.
“I see the challenges for
the hospital — with new
regulations and payer mixes —
their business model is turned
upside down,” he said. “The
business is having to change
dramatically. Finances are
tighter and there are myriad
needs for funding.
“Philanthropy makes up
that gap,” he continued. “It
helps pay for buildings, very
expensive medical equipment,
programs and services that
benefit patients and the
community. We are blessed to
live in Orange County and I see
my role as helping to educate
the community about the
institution and its needs.”
Bartlett also serves as the
current chair of the pediatrics
committee, and on various
boards and committees at the
Heritage Foundation and at the
Health System.
“I am a happily practicing
pediatrician,” she said. “I love
coming to work and seeing my
patients. It is a joy for me to
be a part of their families’ lives
from birth to adulthood.
For Connie Bartlett, DO,
St. Joseph Heritage Medical
Group was her first job offer…
and 18 years later, she remains
with the same group and
hospital because of her deep
affection for the Sisters, her
support of the mission and
values they represent, and her
admiration for the services they
provide to the vulnerable.
Bartlett chose to serve on the
St. Joseph Hospital Foundation
Board because of her belief
in philanthropy and her
recognition of the impact it has
in the community and hospital.
“I believe physicians practicing
at St. Joseph Hospital are
the best people to market
the hospital,” she said. “We
understand our patients'
needs, and can advocate for
those needs. I hope to create
awareness and promote more
physician participation.”
Chris Layton
Curtis Kauffman
“More recently, I have
participated in administrative
duties that allow me to provide
leadership and input in strategic
and operational initiatives.”
When not working, Bartlett
enjoys spending time with her
husband and teenage daughter,
Emme, a competitive swimmer.
In fact, Emme inspired Bartlett
to found SWIM4ME, a nonprofit obesity prevention and
intervention program. The group
recruits “at risk” youth and
enrolls them in swim classes at
Golden West Swim Club.
“As a physician, it is an honor
and a privilege for me to care
for my patients and their
families,” she said. “As a Board
member, I plan to do my part to
preserve the Sisters’ legacy and
promote the mission and values
that serve as our foundation.”
“With my background in health
care and my spiritual beliefs,
serving on the Board seemed like
a good fit,” he said.
Curtis Kauffman, President/CEO,
of the publishing firm Kauffman
Group, Inc., has spent more than
30 years studying, writing and
advising on health policy and
the economics of health care.
But as much as he cares about
quality healthcare services, as a
Eucharistic minister and part of the
hospital’s spiritual care team, he
also recognizes the importance of
tending to patients’ spiritual needs.
“I would visit patients at
St. Joseph Hospital and I was very
impressed by the work of the staff
and the mission of the Sisters,”
he said. “As I became increasingly
involved, my progression toward
becoming a member of the Board
seemed to evolve.”
As Kauffman was winding down
his day-to-day business duties, he
discovered he had the time and
interest to begin working on the
campaign committee.
Healthcare reform is creating
a transformational time for
hospitals, Kauffman believes. “It’s
daunting and affects everyone,”
he said. “Resources seem to
decline while expectations
increase. Philanthropy plays a
more significant role. Before
philanthropy was sort of gravy —
now it’s critical.
“With medical advances in
technology, there are many more
things we can do,” he said. “But
that costs money and that’s where
community support comes in.”
However, as important as these
items are, Kauffman believes that
the mission of the hospital is its
touchstone.
“We not only provide health care
but we treat patients with dignity
and respect,” he said. “I visit the
hospital about once a week and
see 20-25 patients. Some are in
the ICU. Others are in surgery. I’m
on the frontlines and I ask myself,
‘What does this tell me?’ It helps
shape my point of view and my
work with the Foundation Board.”
isn't sufficient to allow the hospital
to meet their capital needs for
providing excellence clinically.
“The hospital serves the
community, shouldn't the
community support the hospital?”
This sense of service has led
Layton to work in such areas as
stewardship, board development,
and with the campaign committee.
Chris Layton’s roots with
St. Joseph Hospital run deep.
He was born at St. Joseph and
educated by the Sisters of
St. Joseph of Orange. Over the
years, he became familiar with
the hospital when his children
(and grandchildren) were born at
the hospital, and when he sought
medical treatment for himself,
and then, during his late wife
Maureen’s cancer treatment.
(Layton married his current wife,
Wendy, three years ago.)
Layton previously served on the
Foundation Board for 11 years —
two as Chair — before his “return
engagement.”
“Medicine and hospital functions
are changing so rapidly that there
is little time to be continually
responsive to mandates as well as
provide compassionate care,” he
said. “Today's reimbursement rate
Because of the high quality
treatment that Maureen received
at St. Joseph Hospital, Layton
and Wendy have a particular
interest in the hospital’s cancer
treatment programs.
“There is a real need for
philanthropic support,” he said.
“Increasing that support is my
goal in serving on the Foundation
Board.”
Layton currently serves as an
independent water consultant
following many years of working
in the water industry. Other
volunteer service includes working
with the Pacific Quality Water
Association, serving as a trustee of
the Tustin Unified School District,
and serving as past president of
the Pioneer Council of Orange
County. He is also a member of
the Mater Dei High School Alumni
Letterman’s Club.

JACQUI’S FUND | Opportunity to Match a Donor’s Pledge
Jacqui’s Fund was created by Patrick Powers, in memory of his late wife Jacqui and her courageous
battle with breast cancer. During her treatment, they were fortunate to be able to financially handle
all that came their way. But it was very apparent to them that others were not as fortunate and some
struggled just to pay for a wig or transportation to and from appointments. Since its inception in
2001, Jacqui’s Fund has helped improve both treatment outcomes and quality of life for cancer
patients by helping identify patients with expenses that are not covered by insurance or other
benefits, but are critical to their recovery.
THANK YOU | Corporate Partners!

Since its beginning, Mr. Powers and hospital employees have made gifts to the fund. We have been
able to help many patients through the years but many more could be assisted if there was more
money available. With your help, we can grow this fund and in turn help more patients so they can
concentrate on their healing rather than struggling with the financial aspects of the disease. With
that in mind, Mr. Powers has offered to match gifts made to Jacqui’s fund by December 30, 2014,
up to a total of $10,000. Please help us help others by making a gift to Jacqui’s Fund.
If you would like more information on how to support Jacqui’s fund please contact the foundation

RETIRED PHYSICIANS WHO ATTENDED THE
REBELS LUNCHEON: DR. ROBERT DUNN,
DR. EDWARD GARR, DR. RICHARD PAWSAT,
DR. DONALD MARTIN, DR. CLIFFORD SCHMIESING
United Valet Parking, Inc.
REBELS | Dr. Robert E. Ball Emeritus Luncheon Series
Some 35 retired St. Joseph
Hospital physicians have attended
the Dr. Robert E. Ball Emeritus
Luncheon Series (R.E.B.E.L.S.)
luncheons held especially for
them, and in honor of their former
colleague, the late Dr. Robert Ball.
Dr. Ball began his celebrated
career at St. Joseph Hospital in
1957, an organization with which
he would be involved for the rest
of his life. He practiced internal
medicine for 33 years, served as
Chief of Staff in 1978 and became
the hospital’s first Vice President of
Medical Affairs in 1989, a position
he held for 10 years. After retiring
in 1999, he joined the St. Joseph
Hospital Foundation Board of
Directors and served tirelessly for
13 years. His dedication, service
and support of the hospital earned
him a respected place in the
hospital’s history.
The retired physicians,
affectionately dubbed “REBELS”,
heard an informative lecture
on the advances in cancer
research, diagnosis and
treatment given by John
Maurice, MD thoracic surgeon
and medical director of our
lung cancer program. Guests at
the REBELS Luncheon Series
included Lizanne Monahan
and Megan Swartz, daughters
of the late Dr. Ball, who shared
stories of their father’s love for
the hospital and his former
colleagues. To reach emeritus
status on the medical staff, a
physician must be an active
member and affiliated with the
hospital for at least 20 years.
The next luncheon is planned
for February 2015.
