By Gayla Wichman - Community Health,Family Medicine,HaysMed News,Pediatrics,The Center News,Upcoming Events

HaysMed’s annual drive-thru flu shot clinic has been scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 7. The event, which will be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., will offer free flu shots for all residents older than 6 months.

It will be the 19th year the hospital has offered the community service, and approximately 3,500 people are expected to be vaccinated during the free clinic.

Adults wanting to receive a free flu shot can get one without having to leave their vehicles. HaysMed volunteers will direct traffic during the event, and the maximum wait time is estimated at 15 minutes.

Children older than 6 months will be vaccinated inside the gym at the Center for Health Improvement (CHI). Adults attending with children also can receive their shots inside the waiting area of Hays Orthopedic Institute, located inside the CHI building.

More than 100 volunteers will be on hand to help with the event. HaysMed partners with Fort Hays State University and North Central Kansas Vo-Tech as both facilities provide students to help with the shots.

There will be no nasal flu vaccine at the drive-thru flu shot clinic.  There will be no egg free vaccines available at the drive-thru flu shot clinic. People with a severe egg allergy will need to contact their local healthcare provider for their flu vaccine.

The event is sponsored by the Hays Medical Center Foundation. While there is no cost for flu shots, participants are asked to bring a canned food item to benefit the Community Assistance Center.

The vaccine also is available at HaysMed clinics for patients who are unable to attend the drive-thru flu shot event. Charges will apply at regular clinic visits, though the vaccine is covered by most health insurance plans.

Breast Cancer in Kansas A conversation with cancer survivors and health experts on Feb 18

By Gayla Wichman - Breast Care Center,Dreiling/Schmidt Cancer Institute,HaysMed News,Upcoming Events

(Hays, KS) February 3, 2016 – Susan G. Komen Kansas is partnering with Hays Medical Center and Midwest Cancer Alliance to present a Komen Impact panel discussion on the latest developments in breast cancer research in Kansas. The conversation will take place on February 18 from 5:00pm-7:00pm at Hays Medical Center. It is free and open to the public.

The panel will be moderated by cancer biologist, Komen researcher and breast cancer advocate, Danny Welch, PhD. Several Kansas oncology professionals and cancer survivors will join Welch in this public forum on cancer innovations and challenges. In addition, representatives from Susan G. Komen Kansas will present an overview of the state of breast cancer in the region.

“We’re excited to be part of this community conversation between breast cancer experts and the people who are directly impacted by the disease,” said Peggy Johnson, breast cancer survivor and former chair of Komen’s National Board of Directors.

According to the Kansas Cancer Registry, nearly 2,000 women in Kansas will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reports that more than 370 women die in Kansas each year from breast cancer-related causes. However, when diagnosed at an early stage, survival rates are greater than 95%.

“This is a great opportunity for recent information to be shared with those impacted by breast cancer and within the community” said Hays Medical Center Nurse Navigator, Lisa Reiter, RN.

RSVP for this event, please call 785-623-5114 by Monday, February 15.

HaysMed plans events to raise money, awareness about hospice

By Gayla Wichman - HaysMed News,Upcoming Events

Staff members at Hospice & Palliative Care at HaysMed are planning fundraising events to support families during difficult times. From left to right are: Ruth Legleiter, Sue Noll, Helen Windholz, Regina Borthwick,
Myrna Kober and Tonia Houghton

Since Sue Noll and her Hays Medical Center colleagues realize there are misconceptions about hospice care, they are helping organize public events to raise awareness and much-needed funds.

Noll is supervisor of Hospice & Palliative Care at HaysMed, which has offered services for 30 years. Its territory is Ellis, Rooks, Rush and Russell counties.

“We want the community to learn more about this special care for terminally ill patients and their families,” Noll said. “Our hospice team of professionals and volunteers care for those in the last phases of an incurable disease.

“Our mission is to help them live comfortably in full accordance with their values and beliefs,” she added.

To relay this message, HaysMed sponsors Community Memory Trees and will participate in the Dec. 6 All American Breakfast at the American Legion.

Memory trees will display brass doves etched with the name of a person being honored or remembered. They will be located in the HaysMed Miller Medical Pavilion and the Dessin Fournir building in Plainville from Nov. 23 through Jan. 4.

The minimum suggested donation is $20 per dove. Request forms are available at physician clinics, HaysMed waiting rooms and at the hospital’s website – haysmed.com/hospice. Forms also may be requested by calling the hospice office, 785-623-6200.

The special annual breakfast also will benefit families because a percentage of advance ticket prices will be earmarked for HaysMed hospice. Adult tickets are $8 or 8.50 at the door; ages 12 and under are $3.50; and ages 5 and under are free. Call the office for tickets.

A craft and bake sale will be available at the breakfast too.

The money raised is used locally to help the hospice team support patients and families at a difficult time, Noll said.

The team includes the patient’s primary-care physician, hospice medical director, nurses, social worker, chaplain, therapists and volunteers. Services may be offered in a private home, nursing home or assisted-living center.

“We tailor services to individual needs,” Noll said. “The patient’s primary-care physician orders medication, treatments and other services. Some hospice visits are scheduled, while others are on an as-needed basis. Our nurses are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Because the team consists of many professionals, Noll commented, hospice offers physical, spiritual and emotional care.

“We address physical symptoms such as pain, nausea and breathing problems,” she said. “Hospice also collaborates with the patient’s own clergy to address spiritual care. And our social worker is here for emotional and grief-related issues.”

Noll strongly encouraged anyone with questions about these services to contact their local hospice.

“We want to address any concerns they have,” Noll said. “When a loved one is facing death, there is fear and anxiety. Our team can support them through the last months and days.”

People of any age may be eligible for hospice when their doctor estimates a life expectancy of six or fewer months and they are no longer receiving curative treatments.

Medicare, KanCare and most private insurance cover hospice. “But we care for people regardless of insurance coverage,” Noll said.

“Hospice pays for medications, and medical supplies and equipment related to the terminal prognosis,” Noll continued, noting patients use the pharmacy of their choice. “A patient can discontinue hospice any time and come back if they qualify.”

In addition, hospice offers inpatient care for up to five days at a time when a caregiver needs a break.

“Our team also provides bereavement care for 15 months, which includes one-on-one contacts, mailings and support groups,” Noll said. “We have a memorial service every six months and invite families to celebrate their loved ones’ lives.”

The supervisor noted that volunteers receive training and on-going education. They visit patients and run errands, and help with bereavement, fund-raising activities and other services.

“We are hoping for a good response to our fund-raising events,” Noll said. “In addition to sharing information about services, we want the community to know that we often hear wonderful feedback from families. They send us thank-you notes, and make phone calls and visits to our office. One hundred percent of those who respond to our surveys say they would recommend hospice services.”

The staff is available for community presentations about services, end-of-life issues, advance directives and grief.
