An Open Letter to the Community from ST. BENEDICTS FAMILY MEDICAL CENTER
Over the past year, leadership at St. Benedicts with representatives from our Board, physicians and staff have completed a thorough review of our Long Term Care services. An outside review of the Long Term Care operations has also been completed. A reflective, discernment process, based on our Mission and Core Values, was utilized to evaluate the appropriateness of continuing to provide long term care services amid today’s economic realities, resident census and our strategic goals set for the hospital and clinics. Based on the findings, the St. Benedicts Board of Trustees voted to begin the process of closing our long term care facility. Several years of a declining resident census and the escalating financial losses contributed to the decision to discontinue this service. The closure date will be July 30, 2010. “This was a very difficult decision. Throughout the Mission Discernment process, the Board and administration carefully examined all options before coming to this conclusion,” said Father Norbert, Board Chairman. “In these challenging times, it’s a normal process for any organization, including healthcare, to review their services and determine their ability to provide them and meet the community need. It was only after careful consideration of our resources and the acknowledgement that adequate beds are available in the Magic Valley that the decision was made to close the Long Term Care service.” The Long Term Care Unit at St. Benedicts is well-known for providing exceptional care and has been the past recipient of the L. Jean Schoonover Excellence in Caring Award in 2000, 2001, and 2002. The Award is based on the quality of care provided and recipients are determined through the licensure and survey process. St. Benedicts was recently notified they will receive the award again for 2010. “It has been our honor to have so many residents consider St. Benedicts their home. We thank them and their families for the years of support in addition to the Long Term Care employees for their unending devotion as caregivers,” said Dr. Elizabeth Sugden, Chief Medical Officer. There are currently 14 residents in the Long Term Care. Employees are working very closely with each resident and their representative to assist them in locating to a new home they select. In keeping with St. Benedicts’ mission and values, a thoughtful plan is in place to minimize disruption and to satisfy regulatory requirements. “Our primary concern is for our residents, their families and our employees,” said Jill Howell, a 32-year employee of St. Benedicts and Nursing Home administrator. “The Long Term Care employees are devoted to the residents and will continue to care and provide for them until they are moved to their new home.” Several Long Term Care employees will assume new responsibilities within the organization. The facility will experience some employee layoffs through the closure process.
ST. BENEDICTS Current Focus St. Benedicts will continue to fulfill its mission of providing high quality Outpatient, Diagnostic, Primary and Acute Care services with compassion to those we serve. St. Benedicts is expanding services in Transitional Care, Surgery, Primary Care and Women’s Health. St. Benedicts is also recruiting additional physicians to provide services in Jerome. As a part of this effort, St. Benedicts participates in the Magic Valley Rural Training Track (MVRTT). The MVRTT is a branch of the main Family Medicine Residency of Idaho Program designed especially for broad-spectrum rural family medicine training. Dr. Jeanette Walker is the first resident selected to participate in the program in this area.
