Hospice House Fund Hospice House Fund Caring Across a Lifetime Whether supporting a new mother…helping someone recover from a surgery…providing health care services to a person with a chronic illness who wishes to remain independent in their home...or bringing care and comfort at the end of life… Our care services are there for you where you are most comfortable – in your home. For more than 40 years, AHCH has been the trusted source for in-home care and hospice services for the communities of central, western and mid-coast Maine. Throughout your lifetime, as your health care needs change, AHCH is here to help. Each year, our Annual Report is an opportunity to highlight noteworthy accomplishments, communicate the ways in which AHCH has left its imprint on our communities, and acknowledge the philanthropic support from more than 2,000 community donors, event sponsors and foundation grantors. Here are some of our highlights from 2009: • We celebrated the successes of our home care clinicians in achieving outstanding patient care outcomes. Our “best practice” focus has put us ahead of national standards in five key areas that affect mobility, wound healing and the ability of patients to manage their care needs at home following our services. The documented effectiveness of our home care services reducing the need for re-hospitalization of patients has opened the door to new collaboration with our community hospitals and physicians. By establishing a specific care coordination process for patients dealing with heart conditions and those undergoing joint replacement surgeries, we are able to assure a safer transition home after a hospital stay. These successes have application to other health conditions and we will be exploring these in the coming year. • Our expansion of services to the mid-coast and Augusta areas was well received by referring physicians and long-term care facilities. With recently added staff capacity, we look forward to increased utilization of our services. • Our fully integrated electronic medical record system took an important step forward with significant technology updates and systems planning projects. Upgraded laptop computers with wireless data connections for our field- based nursing, therapy, social work and chaplain staff has made patient care documentation easier and more efficient. The implementation of a new telephone feature gives us the ability to electronically document patient care notes phoned in by supportive care staff and home care and hospice aides. In addition, our volunteer program can now utilize our electronic medical record system to make patient/volunteer matches and track the support services volunteers are providing to patients and families. • We completed a major philanthropy assessment in June 2009. Feedback from a cross section of Board, community and employees resulted in a work plan to guide future engagement with community donors and foundations around our funding needs for mission-driven services and strategic program investments. The recent passage of national health care reform legislation will challenge us in the delivery and funding of services. Sustaining our focus on continuous quality improvement and technology innovations will be critical. With a committed and skilled staff, strategic health care partners, the confidence of our community donors and engaged Board leadership,p we are preparedp to lead from a position of strength.

  • AND SAMUEL S. BUTCHER , Bowdoin Cdllege, Brunswick, Maine 04011
    THE EFFECT OF A LOCAL SOURCE ON THE COMPOSITION OF PRECIPITATION IN SOUTH-CENTRAL MAINE b SCOTT D. BOYCE~AND SAMUEL S. BUTCHER , Bowdoin cdllege, Brunswick, Maine 04011. ABSTRACT Bulk precipitation samples were collected from ten sites in south-central Maine during the period 18 June to 30 September 1974. Data from the chemical analyses of the precipitation were used to determine regional deposition patterns of the ionic constituents. Acidic pH values ranging from 3.8 to 5.0 are characteristic of the region, but relatively alkaline pH values of 5.5 to 7.0 were observed in the precipitation from one collection site. Systematic increases in sulphate and sodium deposition in the samples from this site suggest a local source. The observations of the bulk precipitation analysis lead to a study of the chemical composition of precipitation near a kraft paper mill. Samples were collected during single pre- cipitation events. The results indicate that this source can affect background levels of composition up to a distance of at least 20 km and that considerable care must be taken in the selection of sites for sampling background precipitation. INTRODUCTION Long-range transport of anthropogenic sulfur dioxide and sulfate aerosols from industrial emissions in Great Britain and Northern Europe has been shown to significantly influence the chemical composition of precipitation over regions of Scandinavia (Rodhe et al. 1972). The State of Maine represents a situation which in some respects is similar to that of southern Scandinavia. During periods of prevailing southerly and southwesterly winds common in May through September (Court 19741, Maine lies downwind of major industrial development.

    BEFORE THE MAINE BOARD OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Verso (formerly International Paper ) ANDROSCOGGIN RIVER Company), Jay, ) APPEALS ME0001937 and W000623–5N–F–R ) ) DIRECT TESTIMONY OF DEBORAH FRENCH MCCAY (Note: All of Dr. French McCay’s testimony is applicable to both the general discussion on the TMDL and to the specific appeal of the Verso permit) My name is Deborah French McCay. I am a Principal at Applied Science Associates, Inc. I have been asked by the Natural Resources Council of Maine (“NRCM”) to provide testimony on the importance of dissolved oxygen to the recovery of cold water fisheries in the Androscoggin River and to testify that actual reductions in total suspended solids (“TSS”), biochemical oxygen demand (“BOD”) and phosphorus are needed for the Androscoggin’s ecosystem to recover. Without these reductions, sediment oxygen demand (“SOD”) levels will not drop. The construction of an additional oxygen injector will only mask the river’s problems, not solve them. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In order for the water quality in the Androscoggin River and Gulf Island Pond to improve, pollution levels from the pulp and paper mills on the river must be significantly, consistently, and permanently reduced. This is particularly true for Verso’s pulp and paper mill in Jay, Maine (the “Jay mill”), which, according to data from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”), contributes substantially more pollution to the river than the Rumford Paper Company mill (the “Rumford mill”). Indeed, assuming that the Rumford mill does not increase its pollution discharges (which have improved in recent years and are significantly below the limits contained in their permits), the water quality in the Androscoggin River and Gulf Island Pond would be 1 improved markedly if Verso’s permit limits were reduced to realistically achievable limits.
