Honoring family and community –Merle Santerian

DONOR PROF I L E

Many still remember Santerian’sDepartment Store as a family treasureand a strong thread in the fabric ofcommunity life.

The Hatboro and Lansdale landmarkclosed its doors in 2001, but MerleSanterian continues to honor bothfamily and community through hergenerous philanthropy.

That generosity will soon makepossible a new pediatric facility atAbington Memorial Hospital. To benamed in memory of Merle’s daughter,who passed away in 2001 at the age of 40,the Corinne Santerian Newborn Centerwill provide well-baby care for manywho otherwise could not afford it.

“When Corinne was with us sheoften told my mother and me aboutwanting to give back to the communitysome day and in some way,” Merle recalls.She has contemplated, over the years sinceher daughter’s passing, ways that thismight be accomplished. Last year, afterreading an issue of Profiles of Giving,

Merle was inspired to contact formerAMH Board Chair Lorraine Pruitt, whomshe knew through the Lower Morelandschools and community. She told Lorraineof her desire to do something at AbingtonMemorial Hospital, where Corinne hadbeen on staff for 10 years.

Lorraine put Merle in touch withAMH Fund Development staff, who“got the ball rolling” and introducedMerle to StevenA. Shapiro, D.O., chairof the hospital’s Pediatrics Department.Dr. Shapiro suggested the need to helpfamilies of newborns who have no healthinsurance to cover their babies from birththrough three months old. The need isparticularly great at Abington MemorialHospital, which has the largest numberof births of any hospital in the area.Thus was born the Corinne SanterianNewborn Center.

Corinne Santerian, D.O., was aboard-certified pediatrician who devotedher life to the care and well-being ofyoung patients. Born at Abington

Iam very pleased to share the news that Abington Memorial Hospital has reached a new milestonewith our recent decision to welcome Central Montgomery Medical Center (CMMC) into ournetwork of service providers.We completed our purchase of CMMC, which we renamed

Lansdale Hospital, on October 31 of this year.It should be a wonderful partnership. For years, CMMC has

worked hard to provide excellent medical services to its community.And for years, Abington Memorial Hospital has served the North Pennregion through our Abington Physicians at Montgomeryville and ourmany community outreach, health education and health screeningprograms.We know the community well, and this new agreementwill strengthen Lansdale Hospital’s ability to continue serving itscommunity with outstanding healthcare close to home.

We will continue Lansdale Hospital’s role as an inpatient acutecare hospital with an emergency department, plus outpatient surgeryand diagnostic services.We plan to expand and strengthen the hospital’s emergency

care, drawing on Abington Memorial Hospital’s 20-year history of excellence as the only designated Level IItrauma center in Montgomery County.We also look forward to working with Lansdale Hospital’smedical staff and employees to determine additional opportunities for growing and enhancing both inpatientand outpatient services.

This is an exciting time for Abington Memorial Hospital. Not only do we continue to grow insize, we also continue to grow in stature and in recognition for our excellence.As just one example,AbingtonMemorial Hospital was recently honored with the Magnet Prize, one of the most prestigious awards in nursing.Bestowed upon only one credentialed Magnet hospital each year by the American Nurses Credentialing Center,the award honors exemplary innovations in nursing care.The Magnet Prize was presented to AbingtonMemorial Hospital, one of only five hospitals nationwide to be so honored, in recognition of our Daily CAREPlan for keeping patients and their families informed about the details of their care.

This prize is an exceptional recognition for our nursing program, and it’s an inspiring exampleof the commitment to excellence we maintain throughout the hospital.

Thank you for the devoted support that makes our excellence possible, and on behalf of theentire hospital, I wish you and yours the very best for the holidays and the new year.

Corinne, in 1999 with her three children,Allison, Ned and Meredith.

Memorial Hospital herself, Dr. Santerianreturned as an adult to serve as a member ofthe hospital’s medical staff. She was agraduate of the Philadelphia College ofOsteopathic Medicine and pursued herpediatric residency at GeorgetownUniversity Medical School.

At the completion of her residency,William J. Sohn, M.D., who had been herpediatrician when she was a child, invitedCorinne to return to the Philadelphia area

and join his practice as soon as she graduated. So, upon returninghome, Corinne began her medical career in the practice of Dr. Sohnand Joseph J. Cirotti, M.D. Corinne worked with them for severalyears, and then joined her husband, Dr.WilliamMoore, whom shemarried in1991, at Buckingham Pediatrics, where she worked untilher passing. She and her husband had three children, of whom twohave expressed interest in following in her medical footsteps.

The Corinne Santerian Newborn Center will honor Corinne’slegacy by providing well-baby care for newborns, up to the age ofthree months, who are delivered at the hospital’s OB/GYN Center.The OB/GYN Center provides low- or no-cost gynecological andobstetrical services to some 1,400 new patients each year, 65 percentof whom have no health insurance. Approximately 20 percent ofthe 4,800 babies born at Abington Memorial Hospital last year weredelivered at the OB/GYN Center.

“Ned would be very happy making this gift for Corinne,” Merlesays of her late husband, who passed away in 1994. “This is in hishonor as well as Corinne’s.”

Merle says her philanthropy is inspired by her faith.“What we have is given to us by God.We are his stewards.

After taking care of our family and needs, we should give back –be it in time, talent or money – to help others. I try to live my life thatway, and believe that the more we give, the more we receive.”

Merle says she hopes the new Corinne Santerian NewbornCenter will be an inspiration for others to step forward and lend theirsupport to the worthwhile programs atAbington Memorial Hospital.

Merle Santerian

What is palliative care, and what is itsrelationship to hospice care?To palliate means to comfort, so palliativecare involves providing comfort andsymptom management to patients atAbington Memorial Hospital. The hospital’sPalliative Care Service offers patients,families and physicians additional supportto make sure that a patient’s symptommanagement and comfort level are at theirbest. With hospice care, patients have electedto recognize the end stage of their life with afocus on comfort measures only. Palliativecare can be a part of hospice care, butpalliative care can also provide services atany point in a disease process. Patients whohave chronic pain or chronic heart diseasemay not be near that final six-month windowthat hospice care generally addresses, butthey may benefit from palliative care.

What does Abington MemorialHospital’s palliative care involve?Our Palliative Care Service was startedsix years ago based on the recognitionthat patients, and their families, who arefacing a progressive or chronic illness,or who are at a time in their lives whencertain decisions need to be made, mayneed help in considering what theiroptions for care may be.We don’t takeover the care of a patient, but weprovide a consulting service for thephysician that draws from a team ofcaregivers – physicians, nurses,social worker, pharmacist, chaplain,

nurse practitioner and others – whowork together to help families considercare options.

The Palliative Care team provideseducation for various groups in the hospital –including nurses and residents – thataddresses issues such as understanding therole of palliative care, symptom managementinterventions and understanding theimportance of delivering bad news to patients

and families. The team’s support extendsbeyond the patient and family, andrecognizes the needs of staff in caring forpatients and families.

What kind of counseling do you provide?Palliative care is a very personal experiencefor everyone involved. These discussionsmay bring up issues about previous losses orthe need to address financial challenges ofmanaging care for an elderly parent when thepatient can’t return home. The discussionmay deal with decision-making whenfamilies are in conflict about their readinessto change the goal of care and requiresupport and further education. Our role maybe to bring together a family that needsemotional and spiritual support. We givefamilies an opportunity to sit together withus, or participate on a conference call ifthey’re scattered around the country.We givethem the time they need to share feelings,get answers to questions and be comfortableknowing that their needs are being metduring a very stressful situation.

What are the typical steps inpalliative care?Every situation is unique, but typically, apatient’s attending physician would ask toconsult with us to help establish the patient’sgoals of care.We do a full assessment of thepatient that includes medications, treatments,etc., to make sure they match the patient’sneeds and goals. Then we meet with thefamily as soon as possible to identify ourrole, to review where the patient is in his orher illness, to review what measures arebeing taken to look at the options of care andwhat those decisions would mean for thepatient and family and to discuss hospicecare if requested. This meeting can be quitechallenging for a family, so we providewhatever resources may be needed, includingmembers of the team, the other treatingphysicians or services and languageinterpreters if needed.

What happens next?Once the family can gather, we can lookat the different paths of care. Families areunder a lot of stress, so we convey to themthat no decision is wrong or must be madeimmediately. But in some situations,where a decision actually is imminent,such as whether or not to elect to have asurgical procedure, we will work with thefamily to come to a decision.

If the end of life comes while a patientis still in the hospital, we offer bereavementsupport to the family. This can includesupport groups and special services forchildren at our Safe Harbor program. ThePalliative Care Service’s goal is to providesupport to patients, families and staff duringtimes of serious illness to facilitate optimalcomfort and understanding when makingimportant medical decisions.

A s part of the $700 billion rescue plan recently passed byCongress and signed by the President, certain portionsof the expired Pension ProtectionAct of 2006 were

extended. From a gift-planning perspective, the centerpiece of thenew legislation involves the so-called IRA Charitable Rollover.

The new law provides that, in each of the years 2008 and2009, an owner of a traditional or Roth IRA may instruct thetrustee to distribute directly to a public charity up to $100,000without the distribution being included in taxable income, andthe distribution will count toward the IRA owner's mandatorywithdrawal amount.

To qualify, the donor must direct the IRA manager to transferfunds directly to a charity. The donor must be at least age 70½ and

the donee must be a tax-exempt organization to which deductiblecontributions can be made, such asAbington Memorial HospitalFoundation. Donor-advised funds and supporting organizationsare not eligible. Rollovers to a planned gift, such as a gift annuityor a charitable remainder trust, do not qualify, nor do outrightdistributions to a charity from employer-sponsored retirementplans, such as Simple IRAs, 401(k)s, and 403(b)s.Other restrictions may also apply.

For more information and to see if you qualityfor this opportunity to make a tax-advantagedcontribution toAbington Memorial Hospital, pleasecontact Amanda Rice, planned giving officer,at 215-481-4019 or arice@amh.org.

Charitable gift annuities are a solid option

A charitable gift annuity is a great way to lock in

the value of appreciated stock and convert it into

a steady, fixed and guaranteed life-income

stream. When you transfer cash, stock or other

appreciated assets to establish a charitable gift

annuity, you enter a simple contract in which

Abington Memorial Hospital Foundation (AMHF)

agrees to pay a fixed income for life.

The income is typically paid four times a year;

in most cases, it is partially tax-free; and, when

gifting appreciated assets, it can minimize your

capital gain and spread any recognized gain

over a period of years. The stock must be gifted

directly to AMHF. The fund development staff

can provide instructions on how to do so.

The ups and downs of the stock market are

cause to review your stock portfolio.

If you are reallocating your investments, consider

gifting stock directly to AMHF. You’ll enjoy the

income and, more importantly, the satisfaction of

knowing you’ve provided future support of

excellent healthcare in your community.

Charitable gift annuities offer a win-win

opportunity. They provide:� fixed income for life� charitable tax deduction� potential capital gains tax savings� the opportunity to lock in the value

of appreciated assets� membership in The Elkins Legacy Society� satisfaction knowing your gift is supporting

excellent healthcare in your community.

LEAVE A LEGACY®

Create your own legacy.A bequest, large or small, is a meaningful way to provide

future support to Abington Memorial Hospital.

On October 14, Abington Memorial Hospital dedicated its new Hank Haines Memorial Garden.Located in front of theWidener Building along HoraceAvenue, the garden features an array ofplantings and landscaping that includes a memorial water element and commemorative benches.

It was designed byAndy Sykes, landscape designer with Garrett Churchill, Inc., and made possible withsupport from Hank’s wife, Barbara, and many of Hank’s friends and family.

The garden is a fitting tribute to an avid gardener who also devoted his life to growing and nurturingAbington Memorial Hospital. Hank’s formal involvement with the hospital encompassed more than half a

century, beginning in 1956 when he was named a Trustee. Hispersonal involvement reached back even further to when he wasjust 10 years old and attended his first June Fete Village Fair –the start of an unbroken record of attending every June Fete for thenext eight decades.

In 1962, Hank stepped down as a Trustee to become Directorof the hospital’s new Office of Development and Public Relations. Heserved as Director of Development for 24 years, and for another twodecades he served as a consultant to the office. Over the course of hisservice, Hank was presented with every one of the hospital’s highestawards, including the LoyaltyAward – which is now named for him.
