Description	AT NEBRASKA METHODIST HOSPITAL, WE UNDERSTAND HOW DEEPLY A DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER DIFFERS FROM OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS. CANCER CAN EVOKE BOTH FEAR AND HOPE IN PROFOUND WAYS. WE ARE HERE TO HELP PEOPLE THROUGH ALL OF CANCER'S MANY CHALLENGES. THAT IS WHY WE OFFER COMPREHENSIVE, SUPPORTIVE AND COMPASSIONATE CARE AT OUR METHODIST ESTABROOK CANCER CENTER, A CENTER DEDICATED TO SAVING LIVES, IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE AND BEATING CANCER. WE HAVE A GROWING, CAREFULLY CHOSEN TEAM OF EXPERTS WITH A COMMITMENT TO MULTIDISCIPLINARY CARE. CANCER STRIKES FIRST AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL, YET ITS IMPACT REVERBERATES THROUGHOUT A PERSON'S BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT. AT METHODIST ESTABROOK CENTER, WE FIGHT CANCER IN ITS TOTALITY AND WE UNITE ALL OF OUR RESOURCES TO HELP OUR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. THIS UNIQUE MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IS ONE OF OUR GREATEST STRENGTHS. WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE PATIENT ON THE TEAM, WE FOCUS A RARE LEVEL OF COMBINED EXPERTISE TO EXPAND TREATMENT OPTIONS, IMPROVE OUTCOMES AND PROVIDE COMFORT AND HOPE.THE CANCER CENTER HAS A MULTIPURPOSE ROOM FOR EXERCISE CLASSES AND SUPPORT GROUPS. A RECENT RENOVATION BROUGHT GREATER FUNCTIONALITY AND COMFORT TO TREATMENT AREAS AND OFFICES IN RADIATION ONCOLOGY, ONCOLOGY RESEARCH, THE LUNG/THORACIC ONCOLOGY CLINIC AND GAMMA KNIFE CENTER. MAJOR EQUIPMENT UPGRADES INCLUDED A SCHEDULED RELOADING OF THE GAMMA KNIFE WITH COBALT-60 TO MAINTAIN THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF RELIABILITY AND EFFICACY. WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR USE OF EXISTING HDR BRACHYTHERAPY TECHNOLOGY, ALLOWING DELIVERY OF HIGH DOSE RATE TREATMENTS TO APPLICABLE GYN CANCER PATIENTS IN MINUTES AND ELIMINATING THE LENGTHY INPATIENT STAY FOR LOW DOSE TREATMENT.DUE TO THE LOW INCIDENCE OF CERTAIN TUMORS, CLINICAL TRIALS ARE LIMITED TO A SMALL NUMBER OF PATIENTS. TRIALS ARE USUALLY OFFERED ONLY IN CENTERS THAT TREAT A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF PATIENTS TO GAIN THE EXPERTISE NEEDED TO TREAT SUCH UNUSUAL CASES AND TO MAINTAIN THE PATIENT BASE THAT WOULD ENSURE ENROLLMENT IN CLINICAL TRIALS. METHODIST ESTABROOK CANCER CENTER IS AMONG THE CANCER CENTERS TO OFFER SUCH A RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY. NINE PERCENT OF METHODIST ESTABROOK CANCER CENTER PATIENTS ARE TRIAL PARTICIPANTS WHICH FAR EXCEEDS THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 2%-3%.IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING STANDARD TREATMENTS, THE PHYSICIANS AT METHODIST ESTABROOK CANCER CENTER HAVE CONSISTENTLY SHOWED ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN COOPERATIVE STUDY GROUPS AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY-SPONSORED CLINICAL TRIALS. THE RADIATION ONCOLOGISTS ARE PART OF THE RADIATION THERAPY ONCOLOGY GROUP (RTOG) STUDY GROUP, WHICH HAS SPEARHEADED NUMEROUS TRIALS FOR TREATMENT OF BRAIN TUMORS. CURRENTLY WE HAVE SEVERAL CLINICAL TRIALS OPEN IN OUR CANCER CENTER THAT EXAMINE DIFFERENT RADIATION PROTOCOLS OR NEW SYSTEMIC AGENTS.	Description

PART VI, LINE 6: PROMOTING HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY:METHODIST HOSPITAL'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS PROVIDES OVERSITE OF ALL OPERATIONS. IT IS COMPOSED OF COMMUNITY LEADERS WITH DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS WITH A BLEND OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS WITH LONGEVITY ON THE BOARD AND THOSE WHO ARE NEW MEMBERS. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT PHYSICIAN INVOLVEMENT ON THE BOARD LENDING TO THE ABILITY TO BE LEADERS IN MEDICAL SERVICES.

THIS PROGRAM, THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND IN THE OMAHA METRO AREA, WAS INSTITUTED IN 2003. PRIOR TO THAT, EMERGENCY ROOM CARE AFTER SEXUAL ASSAULT WAS FAR TOO SIMILAR TO EMERGENCY ROOM CARE AFTER AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE ELEMENTS OF PRIVACY AND COMFORT FOR VICTIM OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. THROUGH SANE/SART, METHODIST HOSPITAL AND ITS AFFILIATES INCLUDING JENNIE EDMUNDSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA, OFFER COMPASSIONATE EMERGENCY CARE FROM HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS SPECIFICALLY TRAINED NOT JUST TO MEET THE SURVIVOR'S SPECIAL MEDICAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS, BUT TRAINED ALSO IN PROPER METHODS OF RECOGNIZING AND COLLECTING FORENSIC EVIDENCE.

THE ADVOCATE HELPS SURVIVORS FIND COUNSELING AND SUPPORT GROUPS AS WELL AS GUIDING THEM THROUGH LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. CANCER PROGRAMS:BATTLING CANCER INCLUDES MORE THAN MEDICAL RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TECHNOLOGY. METHODIST HOSPITAL TAKES A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH AND PROVIDES PROGRAMS AND EDUCATION. THE METHODIST ESTABROOK CANCER CENTER SPONSORS A RANGE OF EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY EVENTS FOCUSED ON INCREASING CANCER AWARENESS AND PROMOTING THE HEALING OF CANCER SURVIVORS. SOME OF THE PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE RELAY FOR LIFE EVENT WHICH CELEBRATES SURVIVORS AND INSPIRES THE COMMUNITY TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST CANCER; HARPER'S HOPE CANCER SURVIVORSHIP PROGRAM; A YOUNG ADULT SURVIVOR'S NETWORK; BREAST CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS AND PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS.HARPER'S HOPE EXPRESSES THE MEANING OF CARE AT EVERY TURN OF THE CANCER JOURNEY. MAIN PROGRAM COMPONENTS INCLUDE SOCIAL WORK, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH/COUNSELING, NUTRITION SERVICES, PHYSICAL WELLNESS AND CANCER PREVENTION AND HEREDITARY RISK ASSESSMENT. THESE RESOURCES HELP PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS LIVE WITH, THROUGH AND BEYOND THE CANCER DIAGNOSIS.METHODIST HOSPITAL ALONG WITH OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES, QUIETLY PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY'S ABILITY TO RESPOND TO AND IMPROVE EMERGENCY RESPONSE DURING A NATURAL DISASTER, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SPILL OR DOMESTIC TERRORIST ATTACK. OMAHA METROPOLITAN MEDICAL RESPONSE SYSTEM (OMMRS) WAS ESTABLISHED THROUGH A FEDERAL GRANT IN 2000, AS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY GROUP OF FIRST RESPONDERS AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. OMMRS BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY IN STANDARDIZING EMERGENCY RESPONSE EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING AND DEVELOPING RESPONSE PLANS TO MAXIMIZE COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND CLARIFY COMMUNICATION PROCESSES BETWEEN AGENCIES. WHILE GRANTS HAVE PROVIDED FUNDING TO COVER SOME EXPENSES, TRAINING AND OTHER NEEDED EQUIPMENT ARE PROVIDED BY METHODIST AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. METHODIST EMPLOYS A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COORDINATOR, IN ADDITION TO A SAFETY TEAM WITH PARTIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS. SALARIES PAID TO EMPLOYEES WHO ATTEND AFTER-HOURS PLANNING MEETINGS AND PARTICIPATE IN THE ANNUAL WEEKEND DISASTER DRILL ARE NOT COVERED BY GRANTS.AS ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE OMMRS, METHODIST WOULD PROVIDE TREATMENT FOR SECOND-LEVEL INJURIES, WALKING WOUNDED AND OVERFLOW TRAUMA PATIENTS WHEN ESTABLISHED TRAUMA CENTERS ARE OVERWHELMED.SUICIDE - THE TRAGIC OUTCOME OF MENTAL ILLNESS - CAN BE PREVENTED. BUT IT TAKES RECOGNITION OF THE PROBLEM, REFERRALS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND PARTNERSHIPS AMONG KEY PROVIDERS IN THE COMMUNITY. METHODIST HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY COUNSELING PROGRAM DIRECTLY SERVES OVER 20,000 IN OMAHA AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES WHILE ELEVATING THE OVERALL HEALTH AND EDUCATION IN THE REGION. THIS UNIQUE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE METHODIST HOSPITAL AND THE OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS BRINGS PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING SERVICES TO THOSE WHO OTHERWISE MIGHT HAVE NO ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE. A TEAM OF LICENSED, MASTERS-LEVEL COUNSELORS FROM METHODIST HOSPITAL MAINTAIN OFFICE HOURS AT SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES. THE PROGRAM ALONG WITH OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNER PROGRAMS IS PAYING OFF. AMONG VULNERABLE ADOLESCENTS 17 YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER, THE SUICIDE RATES HAVE DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH AN 81% DECREASE FROM 2005 TO 2009 AS REPORTED IN THE 2010 LIVEWELL OMAHA COMMUNITY REPORT CARD.
