Activity 2

#2 - the center of excellence in faith and health:the spirit of faith and healing pervades methodist le bonheur healthcare. As a faith-based institution, we are working to define how we can better utilize our faith resources and other assets in the community to improve health. That mission has resulted in a strategy around congregations and our connection with them. We believe that congregations can play a significant role in healthcare when they are strategic partners in their members' health journeys. To that end, we have entered into covenant relationships with 450+ congregations to improve the access to comprehensive health services for all citizens and to improve the health status of these patients. The center of excellence in faith and health (coe) was completed in january 2011 and is housed in renovated space at methodist university hospital. The coe will advance health by bringing faith and health together for the improved wellbeing of thousands of patients. The center's goal is to dramatically enhance quality of care and support for our patients and their families. We believe that the coupling of faith and health can not only elevate the level of care we deliver to our patients, but also improve the quality of life for our community and beyond. The actual center of excellence space transformed the previously existing intensive care waiting room into a state-of-the-art family-centered healing environment with a quiet area, resource room, education spaces, moveable furniture, as well as space for local clergy to counsel their members. It also houses creative meeting space for academic partners locally and across the globe to work with each other, as well as provide training and education to our associates, local clergy and community health partners. The foundation raised over $2 million to make this project a reality. In addition, we provided educational programs regarding healthcare issues to 600+ congregational members, training them in end-of-life care, hospital visitation, and cancer care, among other topics. Revenues generated for the year were $794,999 and expenses incurred totaled $832,086.

Activity 3

#3 - comprehensive sickle cell center of memphis:the comprehensive sickle cell center of memphis opened in 2012. It provides comprehensive care for adult patients with sickle cell disease. The center includes an outpatient treatment center for clinical care and routine health maintenance care and an in-patient unit for those with more urgent care needs. Funds were raised to build a clinic to provide comprehensive and preventive care to our 1,600 sickle cell patients in the greater memphis area. The clinic was dedicated on september 5, 2012. Coordinating the care of these patients under one roof creates greater continuity of care. A key element of developing an adult sickle cell program is the seamless transition of pediatric patients from st. Jude children's research hospital to care at the comprehensive sickle cell center. In addition, we are recruiting our patients who have previously presented for emergency care only to register for preventive care as well. Over the nine months since our official opening, we have registered almost 100 patients who now receive comprehensive preventive care for their sickle cell disease and related physical issues. The process of enrolling patients to assess the total health status of the patient allows us to provide more appropriate care during an emergency visit during a sickle cell crisis. In addition, we raised funds to endow the clinical and research leader for the comprehensive sickle cell center. Revenues generated in 2012 were $3,053,999 and expenses incurred totaled $473,568.
