Dear Friends,

Welcome to the summer issue of Monitor, our quarterly opportunity to share insights and resources for helping the members of our community live healthy, active lives. We are dedicating a large part of this edition of Monitor to our regionally and nationally recognized Family Maternity Center, where the team of professionals has passionately embraced a family-centered approach to bringing nearly 5,000 new lives into our community each year.

as you’ll discover through the stories in this issue, the Family Maternity Center is one the most comprehensive maternity centers in the Puget Sound region, providing families with a range of choices as they work with their providers to create their desired birth plans. our advanced capabilities meet patients at every step along their journey, offering the ability to provide care and services for all families, including those for whom the risks of pregnancy complications are greatest.

and this spring, with the help of our community, we raised $1.2 million to help support families served by EvergreenHealth’s Neonatal intensive Care Unit (NiCU)

At EvergreenHealth, new beginnings take place every day. We have the privilege of sharing and celebrating those transformational moments with patients, neighbors and community members who make EvergreenHealth part of their family’s growth, generation after generation.

For some families, a new beginning is marked by the birth of a baby—that extraordinary moment when a breath of new life transforms an expectant woman into a mother, a supportive mother into a grandmother. over our 40-year history, we’ve seen many families return to EvergreenHealth to celebrate those milestones with the birth of each new generation— an honor that humbles us time after time.

For others, a new beginning may involve recommitting to a healthy lifestyle, discovering a new way of life after a medical treatment, or embracing ways to live fully and actively with each passing year.

as we look back on our first 40 years, we find our organization poised to begin anew, as well. as we begin our 41st year of service to the community, we remain focused on our purpose to enrich the health and well-being of every life we touch, while we also look ahead to preparing the members of the next generation for a lifetime of living at their healthiest best selves.

in this issue of Monitor, you’ll meet some of the people who have made EvergreenHealth part of their multigenerational family history, and we’ll offer a few tips and resources for ensuring your family’s health and wellness for generations to come.

For thousands of years, women across cultures and historical eras have shared the experience of giving birth and becoming a mother. While science has brought about technological advances and improved safety practices, the extraordinary experience of childbirth is something that has continued to bond women and families in ways that few other life events can.

in recent history, teams of nurses and providers in obstetrics and women’s care have dramatically improved the way providers prioritize patients’ preferences and have created a more comfortable, inclusive environment for welcoming babies into the world. EvergreenHealth was at the forefront of that movement nearly 30 years ago, pioneering the philosophy of family-centered care. Today that approach continues to resonate with families and their childbirth teams who partner together throughout this incredible journey.

“The entire team was so accommodating, and really helped us stay focused on meeting our new baby.”

When Blaire Henebry discovered she was pregnant, she called her sister in Montana for advice on the important next steps she would take in planning to have a baby. Her sister, having connections in the Northwest, referred Blaire to the Center for Women’s Health at EvergreenHealth, which happened to be just 10 minutes from Blaire’s Redmond home.

Blaire chose Dr. Karen Wells, the center’s medical director, as her obstetrician, and Dr. Wells immediately put Blaire’s anxious nerves at ease.

“i was paranoid about everything,” Blaire remembers.

“But Dr. Wells really set my mind at ease, and helped me feel in control and educated about what to expect.”

That feeling of comfort and confidence was central to the experience Dr. Chuck Heffron envisioned for maternity patients back in the early 1980s, when he along with a team of doctors, nurses, staff and dedicated volunteers spearheaded the family-centered care philosophy that is embraced by so many today.

“We had a real opportunity to take a more progressive approach to how we partnered with and cared for our patients and to maximize the childbirth experience, but it had to be genuine and accepted by everyone across the department,” Dr. Heffron says.

The team started by looking at every aspect of the experience from a patient-and-family perspective, keeping the patient’s and family’s choices and comfort at the center of every decision.

“i was particularly intrigued by the notion of moms and babies not having to change environments,” Dr. Heffron says.

and, before any other hospital was doing it, EvergreenHealth introduced single labor, delivery and

recovery birthing suites and eliminated its well-born nursery. along with those changes, the hospital also did away with visiting hours and prescheduled feeding times for newborns.

“our goal was to eliminate hospital inconveniences and maximize the time families spent together in a setting where we could provide them with the

tools and techniques to educate new parents and help give them confidence,” Dr. Heffron adds.

The family-centered approach quickly became the standard of care adopted by the Family Maternity Center, balancing absolute patient safety with an individualized patient experience.

“From the inception of a family centered pregnancy and birth center, we—the entire staff—all understood how enriching the experience can be when family members are included,” Dr. Wells comments.

over Dr. Chuck Heffron’s 30-year career as an obstetrician in the Family Maternity Center, he, with a group of dedicated doctors and nurses, partnered with the organization to make bold, patient-focused changes that inspired the philosophy of family-centered care that is embraced by many today. in retirement, he continues to advise the organization as it continually seeks to improve the patient and family experience in childbirth and beyond.

last august, when Blaire Henebry’s delivery day arrived, she was determined to have the natural childbirth she and Dr. Wells had discussed. But standing at just a hair over 5 feet tall, she knew her birth plan might not go as she had hoped.

“My labor was long and rocky, but i knew i was in good hands the entire time,” Blaire recalls.

She labored for 31 hours while her husband’s and her extended families waited anxiously in the family support areas for nearly two days.

“The birth of a baby is one of the most intimate ‘family affairs,’” Dr. Wells adds. “The inclusion of spouses, siblings, grandparents and other family and close friends starts with joyously announcing the pregnancy, continues with emotional and physical support along the way and builds toward the awesome experience of a birth. it’s important to us to support our patients and families at each of those significant steps along the way.”

“The entire team was so accommodating, and really helped us stay focused on meeting our new baby,” Blaire says.

after two grueling days of labor, Blaire and Tyler Henebry’s son Graham was delivered by C-section on august 20, 2012.

“After attention to safety, our role can be to help make the experience of

childbirth as personalized and patient-centered as possible.”

For many moms like Blaire, EvergreenHealth’s family-centered approach remains paramount to the childbirth experience. When natural childbirth isn’t an option, providers strive to emulate the natural experience at a C-section delivery, providing moms with skin-to-skin time—an important part of mother-baby bonding—in the operating room just after the baby is born.

“From the moment Graham was born, he didn’t leave our side,”

Blaire says of the moments, and then days, following her son’s birth.

and Blaire hasn’t left the EvergreenHealth family, either. She is one of thousands of moms who participate in parent-baby educational classes that help families navigate the new discoveries of parenting, together.

“i like to tell women that they are every bit as good as the millions of women who have come before them,” Dr. Heffron explains. “The goal is simply the best experience and outcomes for mom and baby. our role is to help ensure the safest and best possible experience of childbirth and as personalized and patient-centered as possible.”

like many moms, Kelsey Staub was thrilled to learn she was pregnant with her second child. What she did not expect, however, was to be pregnant with twins. The Kirkland mom had no idea she was carrying twins until her first routine pregnancy checkup.

But Kelsey was no stranger to childbirth surprises. During labor with her first child, she learned she would need to change her birth plan and deliver the baby via C-section. She was told that a specialist had been called in to help with the surgery.

“When we heard his name, my mom looked at me with a shocked expression and said, ‘oh my gosh,’” Kelsey remembers.

The specialist was Dr. Wayne Hill—who was among EvergreenHealth’s first obstetricians, and the same physician who had delivered Kelsey when she was born at the hospital years earlier.

Though she hadn’t yet met him as an adult, knowing that Dr. Hill was joining her childbirth team gave Kelsey an immediate feeling of calm. Dr. Hill assisted Kelsey’s obstetrician, Dr. amanda Dise, and together they delivered Kelsey’s first child, a girl she named Nicole.

Two years later, after Kelsey learned she would be having twins, Dr. Hill helped deliver her children once again.

“it made it really special,” Kelsey says in describing the full-circle experience of Dr. Hill’s involvement in the birth of all three children.

Kelsey’s multigenerational story rings familiar to Nancy lawrence, a nurse of more than 30 years who had her own twins delivered by Dr. Hill, as well.

in 1982, Nancy joined EvergreenHealth Medical Center’s Critical Care Unit as a charge nurse and soon after chose the hospital as the place to have her three children—first a son and then twin daughters.

a generation later, when the time came, EvergreenHealth was where her daughter vanessa decided to give birth, too. in all her time as part of the EvergreenHealth team, Nancy has shared in the special moments of countless families, including her own. But few moments can compare with witnessing the birth of her granddaughter.

“i felt like i was passing the torch,” says Nancy about watching her daughter become a mother. “it was one

of the highlights of my life.”

For vanessa, there was no question that she would begin her new family

at EvergreenHealth. “it’s always felt like an extension of home,” she says.

as vanessa welcomed her new daughter, alana, into the world, she was surrounded by her family, including her mother and twin sister—the three of them sharing the miracle of birth together again.

Holding your baby or breastfeeding for the first time is a precious moment that many moms relate to, but when your child is receiving care in the Neonatal intensive Care Unit (NiCU), those events can be even more meaningful.

The moms of EvergreenHealth’s NiCU Parent advisory Group understand firsthand those special milestones and use their experience to support families with babies currently receiving neonatal intensive care.

“it can be such an isolating experience,” says Tricia Fanning of Renton, whose son Jack, born at 27 1/2 weeks, spent 159 days in the EvergreenHealth NiCU before he was big enough to go home with his family.

“Having someone you can lean on, who understands what you’re going through, makes a big difference.”

Duvall mom Natalie Delorey shared a similar feeling when her son andrew was born prematurely. like Jack, andrew was born at 27 weeks, weighing less than 3 pounds.

“it’s really hard to say, ‘i couldn’t hold my baby today,’” she explains.

andrew spent 95 days in the NiCU while doctors worked to treat the deficiencies resulting from his early birth.

“The reason our babies are healthy today is because of the EvergreenHealth NiCU,” Tricia says. “We were so thankful and wanted to find a way to support other families and give back to Evergreen.”

Tricia and Natalie both joined the NiCU Parent advisory Board about two years ago.

“our goal is to make ourselves available to other families. Whether it’s being a familiar face in the hallway or someone to talk to, we’re there to bring support and hope to other families,” Natalie explains.

The Parent advisory Board, made up of several volunteers who have “graduated” from the NiCU, meets weekly on-site at the EvergreenHealth Family Maternity Center and invites new families to join them to share their babies’ challenges or progress.

“We will do anything to help,” Natalie says. “We know it’s a roller-coaster ride of emotions, and a lot times we’re

just there to lean on and make their lives easier, however we can.”

Beyond emotional support, the Parent advisory Group often

provides advice on other ways families may navigate their NiCU experience, helping them, for instance, to start a blog to keep friends and family up to date.

“i tell families to take a picture of their baby every day. it’s amazing how much they change in a short time,” Natalie adds.

Today, Natalie’s son andrew is 3 and Tricia’s son Jack is 4. Both are perfectly healthy, growing boys.

“Being part of this group has been a life-changing experience,” Tricia says. “There is a lot of healing and peace in helping other people. it ends up helping you in the end.”

Learning you’re expecting marks the beginning of an incredible journey—one that’s filled with joy, excitement and a new experience, along with many decisions to make and questions to answer throughout pregnancy and long after a new baby has joined your family. Choosing your healthcare partner, who offers both clinical expertise and emotional support, is one of those important early decisions.

EvergreenHealth and its affiliated practices—which include compassionate obstetricians, midwives, nurses and support staff—offer suggestions to consider when selecting a team who can best partner with your family during this time.

When you’re beginning your search, recommendations from your friends, neighbors and colleagues who have recently had a baby are often part of what families consider in choosing their own team. Many patients also find it’s helpful to look online, as many websites offer insight into a provider’s experience and philosophy. once you’ve identified a potential partner, you might wish to have an introductory meeting to ensure the chemistry feels like a fit, and that trust and communication come easy.

When you’ve found your best childbirth team it’s often helpful to ask plenty of open-ended questions, and to share specific goals, concerns or desires with your provider. Having open communication can help you learn about your provider’s personality and childbirth philosophy to ensure your partnership is the best match for you and your family when it comes time to deliver.

Now, with two years of experience offering the latest in cancer-detection technology, EvergreenHealth continues to improve its ability to detect cancer at its earliest stages.

The latest data shows that nearly one-third of women who would have needed an additional screening to confirm their results instead received peace of mind after one appointment.

at this year’s 12th annual EvergreenHealth Foundation Gala, more than 700 community leaders, patrons of EvergreenHealth, leading physicians, and executives from top local companies joined in raising $1.2 million to support the lifesaving treatment provided by the EvergreenHealth Family Maternity Center and Neonatal intensive Care Unit.

Guests reveled in a beautifully appointed tent structure set in King County’s historic Marymoor Park, and enjoyed this year’s “Essence of the Sea” theme, while raising money to support EvergreenHealth’s Golden Hour project.

Caring for mothers and their newborns has always been at the heart of EvergreenHealth. The first hour of life is critical to the long-term survival and development of a newborn, with decisions made in the first hour impacting the baby and their family for a lifetime. This first hour is called the “Golden Hour.”

The gala’s proceeds will support the remodel and updating of space to coordinate care at delivery for critically ill newborns and their families. This new space, the infant Stabilization Room, will be adjacent to the delivery room so that mom and baby can be close to one another but cared for efficiently and effectively by the highly trained teams of professionals demanded in such situations.

Save the Date Saturday, april 26, 2014 King County’s Marymoor Park
