OING THE EXTRA MILEHere at Tuomey, we are constantly striving to give our patients more than they bargained for. In this issue of LifeTimes, we are pleased to showcase the above-and-beyond efforts of some of our most dedicated volunteers and employees. We pride ourselves on giving more and doing it with smiling faces.
To that end, we have launched a new program, Service Stars, that uses patient feedback to improve customer service. Empowering our team members to have access to patient
satisfaction data ensures that everyone at Tuomey receives only the highest level of care.
We are also thrilled to unveil our new “Green Team” initiative. Tuomey is aware of the impact that our discards have on the environment and is taking steps to incorporate reducing, reusing and recycling as a way of life. Efforts that were already in place throughout the hospital have been augmented and upgraded to make it easier for everyone to make a difference.
You’ll read about Tuomey’s Care Reach program, a cooperative effort between Tuomey medical professionals and local school districts, which allows disadvantaged children access to medical, dental and vision treatment.
Tuomey employees are just as generous with their wallets: our Team Tuomey donated enough money to fund a boutique for cancer patients, a place where they can buy wigs, scarves and other items to help them through a difficult time. Our employees don’t stop there, though; they also donate their time and resources to local philanthropic efforts, helping to raise money for such important programs as the American Heart Association, the United Way, March of Dimes and Relay for Life.
We are so proud of each and every member of Team Tuomey. Their efforts make such a difference within our walls and in the larger community as a whole. We are thrilled that Tuomey is making Sumter a better place to live for all of us.

CaRE REaCHPartnering with Schools to Keep Kids Healthy
When it comes to math and science, 11-year-old Michael is a very bright student. He loves the challenges and can’t wait to figure out the next step in a problem. So when his grades began to slide, everyone knew something was wrong. Michael had several badly infected molars. The pain made it almost impossible to concentrate.
“It hurt so much I couldn’t think,” he said. Thanks to the Tuomey Care Reach team and our local dentists who make it all come together, Michael had the dental care he desperately needed and is now back on the honor roll.

“there are children out there with no one who can or will acceSS the ServiceS they need, and the children Suffer aS a reSult.”

Unfortunately, Michael’s story is not
unique. There are literally hundreds of
children in our area who go to school with
pain from a toothache, or struggling to see
the board because of a vision problem.
“We have some stories that would make
you cry, and we see sad situations almost
every day,” said Chris Watson, an RN and
the longtime manager of the Care Reach
program.
If the program sounds familiar, we’re
glad that you recognize it. Under a former
name – Health Reach – the program has
been around since the early 1990s. Due to
some funding changes and organizational
restructuring, the program had to change
names. And so, Care Reach was born. But
the approach is still the same, said Wat-
son. “We’re simply here to take care of the
children. Our goal is to provide care for any
child who needs us.”
Through a cooperative effort between
Tuomey Medical Professionals, the Lee
County School District and Sumter School
Districts 2 and 17, we have identified thou-
sands of children with vision, mental health,
hearing or dental problems and secured
needed care. Without this vital program,
many more Michaels would have gone
untreated due to a lack of money, a factor a
child in need should not have to consider.
“When we begin working with these
children, many have multiple healthcare
needs that have not been addressed,” Wat-
son added. “There are children out there
with no one who can or will access the ser-
vices they need, and the children suffer as
a result. Many of our partnering providers
are sadly amazed at the number of children
with significant levels of unmet healthcare
needs that we continue to identify and
bring into their offices.”
Tuomey Healthcare System is the only
hospital in South Carolina that provides
this type of service, and we could not begin
to help these children without our part-
nerships with healthcare professionals.
Local doctors and dentists treat many of
these children free of charge or at a highly
reduced cost, and Watson added, “It would
be impossible to do this work without them.
We love our providers and wish we could
find a few more to help us. They are so
giving.”
However, the work never ends, and there
is an endless supply of needs. Can you help?
If you are a local physician, optometrist
or dentist and think you could provide a
much-needed service, we’d love to hear
from you. There are always children who
need to be seen. And if you’re not a doctor
but still would like to help, we’d love to hear
from you, too. Care Reach needs two more
vehicles to help transport children back and
forth from school to healthcare services,
and a fund to help with the purchase of
socks, shoes, food and much, much more.
If you want more information on
how you can help, please contact Chris
Watson, RN or Michelle DeVine, RN at
803.774.9009 or 803.484.6536. With your
support, the opportunities are endless.

“Helping a loved one through their trial gives you strength and knowledge to help someone else with a similar battle.”
Stacy Jordan, manager of the Cath Lab,
headed up the Tuomey Heart Walk team earlier
this year, and was extremely proud of the $12,500 they
raised for the American Heart Association.
“We sold Tuomey shirts, bracelets, Red Dress pins and paper hearts. Two
areas of the hospital did a bake sale (CVND and the Emergency Department)
and Lucy McClary (Wellness Department) received a trophy for collecting
over $3,000,” Jordan said. “I am very proud of all the folks on our team!”
Kim Gardner, educator for Women’s and Children’s Services, headed up the
March for Babies program here at Tuomey and had tremendous results with
bake sales, a Kiss the Pig event, a Basket Auction and the Cookin’ for Babies
event. Her teams raised more than $6,000.
“I enjoy working with the March of Dimes because, being a labor and deliv-
ery nurse and the Women’s Health Educator, babies are a big part of my job,”
Gardner said. “Taking care of moms who are facing preterm delivery is one of
the most heartbreaking things we do. The March of Dimes is working hard to
keep that from happening.”
Relay for Life is another event that Team Tuomey is pleased to sponsor, and
Phyllis Buckner is proud of the efforts we make in this fight against cancer. In
2009, Tuomey raised more than $16,000 and received two awards – “Shining
Stars” and “Most Money Raised.” The 2010 campaign will run through the
summer, and Tuomey has already raised more than $10,200.

“Taking care of moms who are facing preterm delivery is one of the most heart-breaking things we do. The March of Dimes is work-ing hard to keep that from happening.”
TEAM TUOMEY
(continued)
“I enjoy leading the effort for Relay because it gives me a chance to dem-
onstrate teamwork. Everyone, in some way, has been touched by cancer
and many times we are a better person for having the experience,” said
Buckner, who serves as Tuomey’s Education Coordinator. “Helping a loved
one through their trial gives you strength and knowledge to help someone
else with a similar battle. Being a team leader is an excellent way to carry
out Tuomey’s core values of “I CARE” – integrity, compassion, account-
ability, respect and excellence.”
In addition to the three main walks Tuomey supports each year, the
hospital also has countless volunteers in a variety of areas in the commu-
nity. Many of the Tuomey employees are involved in everything from the
United Way and the Salvation Army to the Red Cross and Girl Scouts.
“There are just so many people who do so much outside of this hospital,”
Gardner added. “They are all making a difference at work, and then they
are doing just as much for their community when they leave Tuomey. They
are so giving.”

our mission at tuomey healthcare System is to heal the sick, to tend to those in need with compassion and resolve. that mission doesn’t stop at our doorstep – or in our trash cans.
Both individually and as a community partner, Tuomey
understands that our role in preserving the environment
is crucial. The health of our patients and the health of our
planet are inexorably linked. “The connection between
the environment and our own well-being is undeniable,”
said William Renwick, a Tuomey vice president. “The
Tuomey Family is committed to doing its part to ensure a
healthy future for our children.”
To nurture that bond, Tuomey created the Green
Team – not to begin a green initiative but to consolidate
all the smaller efforts that were already in place and to
cultivate those that were working best. “We needed to
educate people about what everyone else was doing, to get
the word out that there are a lot of us,” said Gray Maklary,
manager of Facilities Planning and Maintenance.
And it’s working. “Now that we all know what we’re
doing collectively,” she said, “it helps us have a greater
impact.”
When the Green Team was formed in 2009, many of
the 1,700-plus employees in our 65 departments were
already focusing on ways to integrate environmental re-
sponsibility into their daily routines. As an organization,
we’d been recycling cardboard and printer toner since
the 1990s. Office paper, batteries, fluorescent lamps and
chemicals like the solvent xylene followed.
A few years ago, Environmental Services wanted to
find detergent-free, odorless cleaning agents to better
accommodate the respiratory comfort of patients, staff
and visitors, but they needed to do it without compromis-
ing safety or germ-killing ability. So they did extensive
research, cleared it through Infection Control, and today,
according to EVS Manager Jim Gier, “We’ve eliminated
about 70 percent of the chemicals and detergents we
were using.” His department is also purchasing new hand
towel and toilet paper dispensers that will minimize the
amount of paper that’s wasted, and has placed about 100
recycling bins throughout the hospital for paper, plastic
and aluminum.
“We’ve always tried to set a good example for the
community in terms of health and wellness,” Gier, a key
member of the Green Team, pointed out. “We just wanted
to expand that. So we put it under one umbrella, and then
we grew it.” And now that there’s a more consolidated
effort, he said, we can share individual successes and
failures with each other and identify programs that work
-- and spread the word. There are lots of examples.
The Print Shop has been recycling for years, turning
waste paper into notepads and finding ways to reuse
“scraps.” Tuomey recently expanded the shop’s capabili-
ties, which means we’re printing more items in-house,
using less paper, less transport and less gasoline. “It keeps
people from ordering more than they need, because they
know we’re here to do more for them when they need
them,” said staff member Amy Graves. Information Ser-
vices created a database that allows clinical staff to com-
“opie, you haven’t finished your milk. we can’t put it back in the cow, you know.”

plete a form on the computer and print only as needed,
meaning we’re not wasting stock when forms change.
Food and Nutrition Services is always looking at prod-
ucts that keep materials out of the landfill. Employees
and guests are encouraged to use the washable cups and
plates and not opt for disposables. FNS also helped Mate-
riel Management kick off a new pen and marker recycling
program that will return 2 cents per item to The Tuomey
Foundation.
Plant Services was ahead of the game, too, implement-
ing more efficient lighting systems and installing new
boilers over the past three years that use less water and
energy. “We’ve always tried to keep utility costs down
and be more efficient as we run the plant,” Maklary said.
“As the technology becomes more and more efficient, it
helps us save money and be environmentally friendly.”
The Green Team was also put in place to educate and
challenge every staff member to do what he or she can in
each segment of the system. “Tuomey is blessed to have
a number of employees who have made a choice to be bet-
ter citizens of the environment,” noted Pete Flanagan, an
administrative director and chairman of the Green Team.
Some pick up litter when they walk on their lunch break.
EVS employees rescue cans and bottles from trashcans
before they empty them. And then there’s Rue Crannell,
Tuomey’s unofficial authority on recycling. “Rue goes
above and beyond in her efforts to keep many items out
of the landfill. She’s been a catalyst in our recycling move-
ment,” Flanagan noted. The certified registered nurse
anesthetist does more than separate, wash and recycle
every single bit of non-medical glass, plastic and paper
she can (at home and at work) and tirelessly encourage
others to do the same. She also works hard to find ways
to utilize products with less packaging, creating less
waste to begin with. “I don’t understand why we’re not all
motivated to reduce, recycle and re-use to keep stuff out
of our landfills,” she said.
Gier agrees. But he and other team members bristle
when people offer advice on how someone else can take
action. “We get a lot of good suggestions, but sometimes
it’s, ‘YOU should be doing this or that,’ not, ‘I want to
start doing this,’” he said. “We want to raise everyone’s
level of awareness, and part of our job is to encourage
people to quit giving lip service to the problem and start
taking action. This is everyone’s program!”
Mickey Sparrow, the manager of Materiel Manage-
ment, acknowledges that “Tuomey can’t fight the whole
war in one battle. The leadership really wants to make a
difference, but it’s harder in the healthcare environment
than just about anywhere else. We have to be so selective
in what we use and in what and how we recycle.” Much of
what is used in clinical areas is disposable; that one-time-
use mentality isn’t about convenience, though – regula-
tions prohibit other options.
Mary Yates, safety officer and emergency prepared-
ness coordinator, attended a workshop a decade ago that
showed participants how to begin reducing up to 40% of
their solid waste simply by separating items for recycling.

Tuomey recycling

By the year 2000, we’d gotten “really pro-active,” she said.
“We keep track of every bit of waste we produce and find
ways to reduce, reuse or recycle it.” She agreed with Spar-
row that it’s tough to find the right balance in healthcare.
“It’s a much more complicated issue for us than for some
businesses,” she said. “We have to worry about medical,
hazardous, solid and universal waste that has to be sepa-
rated and managed.” She shares the belief that education
is the key. “We do a great job here,” she said, “It’s a great
partnership with the community. Over time, maybe work-
ing together, we can save the environment.”
The county considers Tuomey a leader in can and
bottle recycling, and more employees are finding that they
have a stake in the issue. “The tide is definitely turning,”
notes Letitia Pringle-Miller, an administrative director
over employee health and infection control. “Obviously
we’re making a difference,” Maklary said. “We’re lessening
our impact on the local landfill, lessening our impact on
air quality.”
“Are we going to have a huge return on our investment?
Not financially. But we believe in doing everything we
can,” Sparrow said. “It’s got to be convenient, though, or
people won’t do it. If that’s the biggest thing the Green
Team does – making it convenient and efficient for people
to recycle and reuse – then that will be good. The key isn’t
just recycling, though. It’s reducing what we use, changing
the mindset and changing the way things are made.”

Brent, the dynamic program manager at The
Core Institute, served as one of the coaches for
the Marines’ Seated Volleyball Team, working
with soldiers who had suffered amputations,
shattered hips, post-traumatic stress disorder
and other significant injuries.
He called the experience “life-changing.”
“These Marines have been my most coachable
athletes,” Brent said. “Not only have they fought
for life, but they have fought to overcome the ad-
versities that may have beaten lesser men.”
They also took home the Gold, beating out
the Army team in a best-of-three match. The
Games included athletes from the Army, Navy,
Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. The
goal was to “inspire recovery” and “promote
new opportunities for growth and achievement”
for wounded veterans.
“These guys are heroes,” Brent told a televi-
sion crew as he prepared to leave for the Games.
“They’ve given everything to protect us and to do
good for us in our nation.” Later, he added, “Our
very own Shaw Air Force Base has such heroes
who have sacrificed for us. It was my turn to give
something back to these amazing individuals.”
Service is important to Brent, both on the job
and off. He firmly believes that “the more we
do for others, the more others will do” and that
“kindness and selflessness are contagious.”
And what did he bring back with him – be-
sides the Gold? “Inspiration. Hope. A testament
to the true strength of the human spirit. Quit-
ting is not an option, feeling sorry for yourself is
not in the plan, and we are all amazing individu-
als who have so much inner strength waiting to
come out!”
when the “warrior games” were held in may in colorado for wounded american soldiers, no one at tuomey was surprised to see brent Peterson smack-dab in the middle of them.

Michelle Logan-Owens, a Tuomey vice president, was recently hon-
ored with the USC Sumter Distinguished Alumni Award. This honor
is given each year to the alumnus who has displayed “exceptional
achievements in a career, distinguished leadership in the community
or business and who expresses appreciation for USC Sumter.”
Logan-Owens began her nursing program at USC Sumter and is very
proud of the educational opportunities afforded to her right here in her
hometown.
“If I had launched my academic career anywhere else, I am not con-
fident that I would be where I am today,” she said. “I learned so many
valuable lessons while at USC Sumter – the first lesson being the value
of relationships.”
Logan-Owens completed her studies on the Columbia campus and
began working on the oncology floor at Tuomey Regional Medical Cen-
ter in 1995. Since then, she’s been promoted from charge nurse to a vice
president in charge of 23 service lines.
A native of Pinewood, Logan-Owens graduated from Furman High
School in 1990. Active in the Sumter Junior Welfare League and Sigma
Theta Tau, the nursing honor society, Logan-Owens and her family are
members of Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church. She is also a member
of the Progressive Professionals Network, a group here in Sumter that
works with Star Students in the public elementary schools, and the S.C.
Board for Families of Highway Fatalities.
Logan-Owens and her husband Sylvester have two daugh-
ters, and she is proud of her commitment to USC Sumter
and Tuomey.
“For me, every decision I make is about how I can
help people breathe easier,” she added. “I am so
blessed, and I just want to share that with others.”

For Peggy Kearney, volunteering has become a way of life.
She’s been serving Tuomey since 1999, putting in 16 hours a
week in Endoscopy. She also works at the Exhibition Center
a few days a week and helps with RSVP (Retired Seniors Vol-
unteer Program) “whenever they need me.”
“I don’t cook and I don’t type, but I’ll do just about
anything else they need me to,” she joked. “Seriously,
though,” she added, “this keeps me going.”
Her dedication is evident throughout the hospital.
Some 300 adult and student volunteers work alongside
Peggy: transporting patients, sitting with families in
the ICU, handling Pet Therapy dogs, compiling patient
admission kits, helping a spouse through the loss of a
loved one, knitting booties or blankets for premature
babies or simply pushing the magazine cart.
“We are very thankful – and blessed – to have
those folks who are willing to give their extra time and
talents to the hospital,” agreed Administrative Director
Letitia Pringle-Miller.
She was quick to note that it’s not just retirees who
volunteer: Tuomey has quite a few employees – nurses, ad-
ministrators and non-clinical staffers as well – who put in
their paid time, clock out and come right back to Tuomey to
volunteer, manning the front desk, working in a patient unit,
advising students or working with Hospice.
“While the work done by our volunteers can be measured
in hours, the tremendous impact they have on the lives of pa-
tients, families, and staff is immeasurable,” said Tuomey COO
Gregg Martin.
Peggy has won several awards for her altruistic spirit and in
April earned her 9,000-hour Tuomey volunteer pin.

Those were the words from our employees as they rallied together as a team to raise
funds to create a boutique for cancer patients.
This is, by no means, the first time the employees have come together to contribute
toward a worthy project or cause. In fact, more than $1.4 million has been given by these
individuals, who give of their time and talent every day to make this hospital such an
incredible place.
Past projects have included the renovations of the patient towers, building the
Women and Infants Pavilion, and creating a covered walkway, just to name a few. This
year the campaign team (made up of 40-plus employees) wanted to create a place for
patients to go when experiencing the side effects of battling cancer.
“The Boutique” will be located on the second floor of Medical Office Building
One, down the hall from Mammography. It will provide people with wigs, prostheses,
scarves, creams and support group information. Right now, patients have to leave our
community to get these items.
The theme of our employee effort was “Football” and campaign leaders transformed
the cafeteria into Tuomey Stadium, complete with an actual size goal post. A truck bed
for tailgating and a TSPN (Tuomey Sports Network) booth completed the football theme.
The campaign began with great enthusiasm, and the hoopla increased with the
appearance of the Clemson Tiger mascot on opening day. Employees were given the
opportunity to join the team by participating at one of several giving levels – Team
Player, Extra Point, Safety, Field Goal and Touchdown.
Employees made a commitment to give either for an entire year, with money coming
out of their paycheck every two weeks, or they gave a contribution in some other form.
They were engaged with our cause and once again wanted to do something for the
community we serve.
When the season came to a close, more than $170,000 was raised, allowing the vision

MESSAGES FRoM ERIK ERiK WhALEy
The Tuomey Society Gala is a night where the Foundation honors those who have
given $1,000 or greater annually. This year’s gala was another great event where our
Tuomey family came together to celebrate their community hospital. Dr. and Mrs. Sam
Riddle hosted the ninth annual gathering at their beautiful home, and it was a most
memorable night.
The 250-plus “family” members in attendance were treated to the very best in food
and beverage by Jack Brantley and Aberdeen Catering. In addition to this, our guests
enjoyed the background music provided by the Sumter High Jazz Ensemble. Add perfect
weather and wonderful fellowship and it’s easy to see why a good time was had by all.
We are so honored by this support and through this event are able to show our grati-
tude in a small way.

The FeLLoWSWhile on the subject of family, the 10th class of Tuomey Fellows held its graduation
ceremony and luncheon at Never Dunn Farms, the home of Sheri and Joe Singleton. It
was another perfect weather day as graduates, fellows, board members, staff and volun-
teers gathered outdoors for the formal program and then hamburgers and brats.
Jeannette Towles-Mickens, Grady Locklear and Tony Barwick were the keynote
speakers to Class X; they talked about their support for the hospital. The ceremony con-
cluded with the graduates all being confirmed and receiving their diplomas. Afterwards,
everyone enjoyed food and fellowship.
Many thanks to Sheri and Joe for hosting this event for the eighth straight year. It is
always a highlight in the Foundation’s year.
Three great happenings in a short amount of time for the Foundation: These events
just reinforce the support and belief our employees, donors and volunteers have for
their hospital. After all, we are all one Tuomey family.
Thank you for your unwavering support and on behalf of The Tuomey Foundation,
have a blessed and safe summer.
SERviCE STaRS
We are constantly looking for new ways to make our patients happier. One
of our new programs to help accomplish this goal is “Service Stars.”
Service Stars begins with our patient satisfaction data, gathered by a
company called Press Ganey, which surveys patients who have visited
our hospital. Managers then select one staff-level person from every
area surveyed to become their Service Star. Their task is to review pa-
tient satisfaction reports, share them internally and use the informa-
tion to help improve patient satisfaction.
Each “Star” is given the chance to shine for his or her department
by capitalizing on the department’s strengths and strategizing on ways
to improve weaker areas. “We have noticed a renewed energy within
some departments which affirmed the concept – happier staff mem-
bers equal happier patients,” said Terrie Carlton, a Tuomey vice pres-
ident and Chief Nursing Officer.
Service Stars meet monthly to exchange information internally
and hear a guest speaker. The Stars have formed a support system
within departments and have begun communicating ways to work
together to improve service. Stars are getting creative with ways
they can bring positive energy to their departments, through pre-
sentations, email communication, white boards, brochures and
word of mouth.
Our first noticeable improvement since beginning Service Stars
occurred during the month of April. In comparison with the first
quarter patient satisfaction scores, Tuomey’s satisfaction scores
were up in 16 out of 18 areas surveyed. On a scale of 100, Tuomey’s
inpatient scores averaged the mid 80s, while outpatient scores
averaged in the mid 90s.
“Having knowledge and access to patient satisfaction data at a
staff level is empowering,” Carlton said.
