from the
Chair & CEO
West Park Hospital’s
year 2014
was filled with accomplishments,
challenges and change. We
have made accomplishments in
improving our quality, safety, patient
and family experience. We continue
to proactively respond to the new
era of healthcare driven by the
Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act and other regulatory
changes mandated by the Centers
of Medicare and Medicaid Services.
West Park Hospital
has experienced
many exciting changes this last year
that we are pleased to share with
you. We invite you to take a moment
to review this annual report, which
highlights our accomplishments and
changes in 2014.
We would like to thank the
many members of the
WPH
team,
including the Hospital Board, WPH
Foundation Board, Leadership
and Management, Medical Staff,
Employees, and Hospital Volunteers
for their loyalty and passion for
serving our community.
In this past year,
West Park Hospital
initiated our “Bridge to the Future”
renovation and expansion project.
This project is the final phase of our
facility master plan approved by
the
WPH
Board of Trustees in 2006
and updated in 2012. The first of
three phases was the Construction
of the Cathcart Health Center
in 2009; second phase was the
completion of the Modernization
Project renovation and construction
project in 2012, and the Bridge to
the Future project is projected to be
completed in October, 2015.
To meet the needs of those we
serve,
West Park Hospital
continually
looks for ways to expand and
strengthen our medical staff to
ensure our patients have access
to quality care close to home.
The hospital added several new
physicians to our active medical
staff in 2014, including ENT Randy
Folker, MD, Hospitalist Tyler
Weaver, MD, Neurosurgeon Jeff
Poffenbarger, MD, and Urgent
Care/Emergency Department Alex
Cianflone, MD.
New services added at
West Park
Hospital
include our new Stereo
Tactic Breast Biopsy equipment
allowing women a more convenient
option for having breast biopsies.
Also, we are excited to announce
the addition of Dr. Brandi Shepard,
Audiologist, who will offer full
service audiology.
A special thanks and appreciation
to the
WPH Foundation Board
.
Through the generosity of the
community, these board members
raised over $1,080,000 this year.
The donations, pledges, and grants
received in 2014 support a number
of beneficial hospital projects
including the Baker Community
Education Center, the Oncology
Clinic in the Big Horn Basin Cancer
Center, and continued support for
Spirit Mountain Hospice House,
along with needed hospital
equipment purchases.
This annual report provides a
representative snapshot of what
occurred at
West Park Hospital
in
2014. As a result, the collective
efforts of the
West Park Hospital
family have our organization well-
positioned for both the known and
unforeseen challenges of the future.
The achievements made in 2014
were due to a tremendous effort and
countless individual contributions by
hospital staff, physicians, volunteers
and board leadership.
West Park
Hospital
continues to redefine
healthcare provided to the residents
surrounding the Big Horn Basin
with an unwavering commitment
to ensuring “our patients and
residents come first” in a patient
and resident-centered environment.
Thank you for your support of
West Park Hospital District
.
