Women’s Services Promotions
Gaining Momentum
For generations of women, Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital has been the hospital
of choice for health care services in this region. The wide range of services, delivered
by caring, compassionate and professional physicians and hospital staff members, means
that women can receive virtually all their health care needs in nearby, convenient and
state-of-the-art facilities. From birthing to advanced surgical services, Hugh Chatham
Memorial Hospital is proud to provide these services for the women of our region.
Because many women in our region have assumed responsibility for their family’s
health care choices, HCMH continues to reach women through newspaper and
radio advertising, health fairs, the website and written material.

Hospitalist Program
HCMH Launches Hospitalist Program
Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital by Stephen Pennington
Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital has launched a progressive program of inpatient
Hospitalist care served by a relatively new physician specialty called hospitalist. Specializing in
the management of hospitalized patients, a hospitalist takes over for a primary care
Program physician when it comes time to admit a patient. The hospitalist then cares for the
patient while he or she remains in the hospital.
Patients and Primary Care Physicians Both Benefit
Hugh Chatham has begun this program because it offers many benefits to patients and
to our outstanding primary care and internal medicine physicians. For example, in the
largest hospitalist study to date, the Tufts University School of Medicine found that
hospital stays are a half-day shorter if managed by a hospitalist, with mortality and
readmission risks comparable to those of family physicians or general internists.
In addition, proponents of the program say that doctors who practice at the hospital
all day, every day are in an excellent position to tackle complex problems such as
improving patient safety and outcomes.
Initially, the trend was driven by hospitals and manage-care groups, seeking to cut
costs and improve care quality. But with hospital reimbursement rates failing to keep
up with their costs, many primary care physicians are being won over and now find
Providing 24 Hour, the hospitalist arrangement saves them time and money. In a recent survey by the

Services hospitalists provide them a “valuable service.”
A Fast Growing Specialty
These are just a few reasons the ranks of hospitalists have exploded from a few
hundred physicians in 1997 to 20,000 last year – about the same number as
gastroenterologists or neurologists. That’s the fastest growth for any medical specialty
in the country, according to the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM), the professional

Tobacco-Free
Tobacco-Free at
Hugh Chatham
HCMH joined 96 North Carolina
hospitals as a tobacco-free campus
in January ’08.
“With years of documented evidence
of tobacco’s impact on the health of our
citizens, we take this initiative as a
regional health care role model,” said
CEO Stephen Pennington.
To help the organization’s employees,
patients and visitors achieve this
goal, communication is of utmost
importance. The signage shown above
has been placed in all areas of the
facilities. Smoking cessation classes, as
well as nicotine replacement products,
are offered to employees through the
hospital’s Wellness at Work program.
Hugh Chatham has been “smoke free”
indoors since the late 1990’s. This
tobacco-free policy prohibits the use of
any form of tobacco anywhere on the
properties of the hospital, Nursing
Center, Retirement Center, Home
Health and physician practices.
“This initiative takes the final step in
ensuring the health of our customers
and employees,” noted Pennington.
“We strive to remain on the forefront
of health care through customer service,
quality and technology – becoming
tobacco-free is a part of that forefront.”

Doctor’s Day
Celebrated March 30
Thanks to the hospital’s administration and its Physician Satisfaction Team, Hugh
Chatham doctors were treated to a dinner at Elkin Creek Vineyard. In addition to the
exquisite fare presented by The Kitchen at Elkin Creek, physicians and their spouses were
entertained with ‘Drs. Day Oscars’. Voted on by hospital staff members, doctors were
awarded titles such as “Dr. Punctuality” and “Most Dapper Doc”. The five-course meal
included Elkin Creek culinary specialties such as She Crab Soup and Bananas Foster.
The hospital provided baby sitting services for children of the physicians. They made
cookies, crafts and played games while their parents enjoyed dinner. The 2008 HCMH
physician directory made its debut at each guests’ place setting, offering the doctors
first peek before the directory was released in the Elkin Tribune the following Monday.
Chief Executive Officer Stephen Pennington summed up the event as,
“a great time to recognize the dedication of our our excellent physicians.”

THE HUGH CHATHAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
6th Annual Wine Auction
HCMH Foundation and Yadkin Valley Chamber
Host 6th Annual Yadkin Valley Wine Auction
The Yadkin Valley Chamber of Commerce again sponsored the annual Yadkin Valley
Wine Auction held to benefit Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital Foundation. This
year the event raised over $42,000, an increase of $1,800 over last year’s number. The
auction featured a draw down trip-for-two which was won by a local realtor, Martha
Swindell. Set on the eve of the Yadkin Valley Wine Festival, the auction was held on
Friday, May 16th, at the newly refurbished Holiday Inn Grand Ballroom.
The Chamber’s distinguished Rebel Good Award was given to Derrill Rice, owner of
Grassy Creek Vineyard and Winery. Established in 2003, this award is presented at
the auction annually to someone who has ‘worked to advance viticulture in the Yadkin
Valley Wine Region.’ (top photo)
Recognition was also given to auctioneer and local restauranteur John R. Hall for his years
of service to the Yadkin Valley Wine Auction. Mr. Hall has served as auctioneer for this
event since its inception in 2002. In the future, Mr. Hall will have the honor of opening
and closing the live auction by announcing the first and final lots. (bottom right photo)
Wines from more than thirty regional vineyards and wineries were available for tasting
and for auctioning at the event. Among other items donated were rare wines, trips,
jewelry, original art, furniture, clothing, fine dining, decorator items and many other
extraordinary gifts. The menu for the evening featured beef tenderloin, shrimp,
scallops, seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables and various gourmet cheese selections,
highlighted by fabulous homemade pastries.
Among our community’s finest black tie affairs, the auction is a great opportunity to
join in the excitement and contribute to the advancement of our community’s health
care. This year’s auction benefitted the Foundation’s 2008 campaign project to expand
and upgrade the hospital’s laboratory. The goal is to ensure that Hugh Chatham remains
in the forefront of health care by adding space
and technology and by helping keep our
patients in close proximity to their homes.
For information about next year’s
auction, contact the Foundation office at
