The award represents the nation’s highest honor for performance excellence through innovation,
improvement and visionary leadership in both public and private organizations.
We are indebted to the dedication and support of our physicians, staff and volunteers, and
all the citizens in the primary counties we serve—Gillespie, Kendall, Kerr, Kimble, Mason,
Llano and Blanco.
What is special about our Hill Country communities is the legacy of hard work, independence,
innovation and stewardship. Those same principles are essential to the future of health care—
especially for an independent non-profit community hospital. Our commitment to performance
excellence is focused on remarkable patient care for the exceptional communities we serve.
On a personal note, my husband Steven and I climb Enchanted Rock several times a week.
At some point, the rock and the climb came to symbolize the history of Hill Country Memorial
and our team’s challenge in an ascent to excellence. In September, 40 HCM team members
decided to re-enact our performance climb on Enchanted Rock. On Page 7 of this issue, you
will find a photo and a link to the video.
You don’t win this award for being the best at one thing, or at two or three. For us the award is
not the destination. It is a milestone along a journey of performance excellence that we committed
to seven years ago. Our national TOP 100 Hospital ranking for three consecutive years (2012–
2014) is an example of how we hit our stride and really accelerated our quality performance.
Our commitment to performance excellence and quality achievement extends beyond the
walls of a traditional acute care hospital into our communities. Your health and wellbeing is
the purpose and the cornerstone of Hill Country Memorial.
Thank you,
Jayne E. Pope, Hill Country Memorial CEO

THE RIdE of HIS LIFE
buddy, a 35-pound beagle-mix, became a media
sensation after word spread about the heroic
pooch with a heart of gold.
In October, Mason County emergency medical
services (EMS) responded to a call at a Mason ranch,
where Buddy lives with his owner, J.R. nicholson.
nicholson was dizzy and asked a ranch hand to call
an ambulance. About halfway into the 40-mile trip
to Hill Country Memorial Hospital (HCM), a
concerned driver flagged down the ambulance to
say a dog was riding the side step. The amazed EMS
crew scooped up Buddy and put him in the cab,
where he finished the ride to Fredericksburg.
“dogs aren’t allowed in the ambulance unless
they’re service animals, but we couldn’t discard him
on the side of the road,” says Emergency Medical
Technician Tanner Brown. “So we put him in the
back of the ambulance, and he went to sleep.”
HCM staff helped look after Buddy while
nicholson was treated. “He sat there as happy as
can be,” recalls Emergency department director
Karen Groff, MSn, FnP. Both patient and pup
returned home later that day and are doing well.
patient-First philosophyHappy endings like this are possible because of
HCM’s strong relationships with dedicated county
EMS providers. This teamwork enables HCM to
care for communities across a wide geographical
area, driven by a mutual understanding that
remarkable care means always putting patients’
needs first, Groff says.
“I did an interview before I got hired,” Groff says,
“and the chief operating officer asked me if I had
ever broken any rules. I said I hadn’t but that I

ReLATIonSHIPS THAT BuILD A CoMMunITy.
certainly might bend them if it served the patient’s
best interests. I think that’s what clinched the deal.
“Black-and-white rules don’t take into consider-
ation the human element in things,” Groff adds. “If
your dog is outside and you’re worried that it’s going
to be hit by a car on Highway 16, you’re not going to
respond to care very well. What matters is keeping
patients comfortable and calm and building trust.
That’s what it’s all about.”
tight-Knit CommunityReggie Loeffler, director of Mason County EMS,
says teamwork comes naturally in a community
where “everybody is familiar with everybody.” He
says several EMS professionals work in both Mason
County and Fredericksburg. His wife, Cindy
Loeffler, Rn, is a trauma nurse coordinator/house
supervisor in the HCM Emergency Room (ER).
“We’re very rural in Mason County. We have a
clinic but no emergency medical facility,” Reggie
Loeffler says. “We transport 80 to 90 percent of
our patients to Hill Country Memorial because
most people in the county feel that’s their hospital.
They’ve got the best doctors for a town that size,
and we’ve got a great working relationship with
everyone in the ER.”
the right CallSo when a scrappy little dog rescued from a shelter hun-
kers down on an ambulance traveling 60 miles per hour
on a one-lane road to be with his owner, people shake
their heads — and know exactly what comes next.
Allowing Buddy in the ambulance was the
“right call,” Loeffler says. “And if we had to do
it over again, we’d do everything the same.”
In January, HCM distributed 10 handheld lactic acid measuring devices to emergency medical services (EMS) crews throughout the surrounding counties.
About the size of a cellphone, the portable machines are used where patients are when EMS technicians respond to a call, right at the point-of-care. With just a drop of blood, they provide results in 13 seconds and can be easily operated by EMS, nursing and medical staff.
The device measures lactic acid in the blood. Too much lactic acid is a sign of sepsis, a potentially

life-threatening complication of an infection. To stop sepsis, early detection and treatment are critical.
Arming EMS crews with a tool that can identify sepsis sooner means that patients are treated faster and have a better chance of surviving.
Emergency Department and laboratory staff at HCM emphasize that for the community, this is a positive step in helping to detect sepsis early, alerting the emergency department that a patient with probable sepsis is en route and ultimately fostering better outcomes when treating sepsis.

h CM is pleased
to welcome douglas
J. Stanley, Md,
to our highly experienced
team of ear, nose and throat
(EnT) specialists.
dr. Stanley earned his
undergraduate degree in
biochemistry from Texas
Tech university in 2005 and
graduated from the university
of Texas Health Science
Center at Houston in 2009.
He joined the HCM Medical Group in 2014 and sees
patients at HCM Boerne and the HCM Specialty Clinic
in Marble Falls.
Q what do you enjoy most about practicing in the texas hill Country?a: The people are kind, and because it’s a smaller community
I have the chance to get to know patients more personally. This
is a great place to raise a family, and the medical community is
tight-knit and works collaboratively, which enables us to
provide high-quality patient care.
welcome our new ent specialistQ why did you choose to become an ent specialist?a: When I was a medical student on my surgical rotation,
a patient who had suffered a terrible trauma to his face was
brought to the hospital. The on-call EnT and the EnT
residents attending to the patient were caring people who
were eager to teach and were so pleasant to work with. That
impressed me and influenced my going into the field.
Q what do you find most rewarding about your work?a: I love the variety. We see all age groups, and the
conditions we treat range from chronic sinus problems
and ear infections to hearing loss and head and neck cancer.
We’re able to really improve our patients’ quality of life,
and patients are so grateful, which is very rewarding.
Q how do you like to spend your free time?a: I enjoy scuba diving, backpacking and hiking—history and
travel in general. This past summer, I had the opportunity to
travel to Angkor Wat, the ancient temples in the Cambodian
jungle, which was truly amazing.

Remarkable Health Care
From our values driven culture to our handpicked specialists,
everything we do at Hill Country Memorial makes us more than an
award-winning hospital. It makes us a healthy choice for our patients
and their families.
HCM’s commitment to excellence has grown beyond the walls of a
traditional hospital and into the communities. For the past several
years, our journey has been based on the Malcolm Baldrige National
Quality Award criteria—an award we were honored to receive in 2014.
Truly, the journey has yielded more than the award itself. This
accomplishment has put us on the national stage while reminding us
of the immeasurable support from our communities.
Thank you.

hCm distriButes Free Kids’ BiKe helmetsVolunteers from Hill Country Memorial, H-e-B, the Fredericksburg Police Department and Pedernales youth Soccer Association distributed free children’s bike helmets on Saturday, october 25 at oak Crest Park in Fredericksburg.
As part of the Texas Medical Association’s (TMA) “Hard Hats for Little Heads” program, volunteers fit children ages three to 14 with correctly sized helmets.
organizers emphasized the importance of fitting children with new helmets as they grow to ensure the best protection at every age. HCM encouraged citizens to keep their children safe by getting helmets and ensuring children wear them.
in addition to a free helmet, participants also received a goody bag and safety information.
“ Hard Hats for Little Heads promotes fun and safe exercise for children, whether they are riding their bikes, skateboarding or even riding a scooter,” says organizer Kelly DiCuffa, HCM Marketing Director. “Most importantly, we want to keep kids safe and healthy.”
According to the TMA, a properly fitting helmet can prevent almost all head injuries, the most common cause of disability or death in a bicycle accident. Since 1994, TMA has distributed more than 180,000 helmets to Texas children.
Many people find it hard to talk about end-of-life issues with their parents, spouse and other loved ones. However, the best time to discuss your loved one’s wishes for care is now—before he or she faces a life-limiting health care condition.
Hospice programs strive to relieve the patients’ pain and physical symptoms. They also help family members cope with their grief during hospice and after a loved one’s passing.
in February, the Hill Country Memorial Hospital (HCMH) Foundation sent its Hearts for Hospice appeal to members of the community, with donations going directly toward HCM Hospice and its ongoing efforts.
“unlike other hospice programs, Hill Country Memorial Hospice can take any patient regardless of their insurance coverage thanks to our generous donors,” says HCMH Foundation executive Director Amanda Stevens.
Such community support of both time and monetary contributions helps HCM Hospice provide comfort to those who are suffering, calm to those who are overwhelmed and everything from equipment to fully trained staff to serve patients during their time of need.
HCM Hospice is unique in that it does not screen patients to determine if they have funding from insurance or government programs. in this way, HCM Hospice is able to serve a broader range of patients and families.
When loved ones face a life-limiting illness, HCM Hospice provides care and support through nurses, chaplains, social workers and volunteers to care for patients and their caregivers. Additionally, HCM Hospice also purchases medication and supplies equipment as needed.
“Hill Country Memorial Hospice helps people live as fully as they can for the remainder of their lives,” says HCM Hospice Director Melanie Cole. “Just as families rely on hospice’s services during challenging times, hospice relies on strong support from the community.”
