Going BIG on Doan Hall’s walls

September 21, 2011

Med Center faculty, staff lend their likenesses to promote exceptionalism

By Adam King

In a first-floor Doan Hall alcove, Monica Stewart came face to face with herself, and both were smiling broadly.

The bigger-than-life-size version of Stewart was a wallpapered photograph of her with the word EXCELLENCE in bold white letters alongside the phrase “demonstrating the highest standards.”

Stewart, a staff coordinator in OSU Harding Hospital administration, said she hopes her likeness will be inspiration to other staff and faculty and deliver confidence to visitors and patients that OSU strives to deliver the best care. But first and foremost, she hopes it shows her daughter that nothing is impossible.

“I was a single mom, and this shows my daughter that if you work hard enough, you can accomplish a lot,” said Stewart, who has been at Ohio State 18 years and worked her way up from delivering food as a dietary tech before moving into patient care and then administration. “I can show my daughter you can be first in a lot of things; it just might take a minute to get to No. 1. But it all pays off in the end.”

Like the others who are in the Hall of Excellence inaugural class — Cara Harris, Imelda Teng, Jeff Klingler, Patricia Stewart (no relation) and Ali Rezai — Stewart

received a recognition award recently.

“Our Hall of Fame is equivalent to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown,” said Steven Gabbe, CEO of the Medical Center and senior vice president for Health Sciences, at the ribbon-cutting ceremony during Staff Appreciation Week. “It’s the best example we could make of being one of the best hospitals in the country and a testament to the remarkable accomplishments of our colleagues. It’s about comforting family who come here or getting people a meal whose thoughts are somewhere else.”

“We look up to you,”Gabbe told the honorees in attendance, “and I guess we’ll now look at you as we pass through the hall.”

The hall, however, is more than just a photographic reminder of what Medical Center faculty and staff are capable of. A 42-inch television monitor yet to be installed will display up-to-date honors, such as years of service congratulations or highlighting areas that are exceeding in patient satisfaction. There also will be two 20-inch LCD displays that can highlight department celebrations and events.

A glass display case at the left side of the hall will be available to highlight events such as Organ Donor Awareness Month, AIDS awareness traveling quilts and week-long professional celebrations such as Labs Week or Allied Professionals Week.

“This hall recognizes staff members that are seen by people walking around the hospital every day,” said Teng, who received a Clinical Excellence Award. “Recognition is such an important part of job satisfaction, and seeing everyday staff being recognized can be very inspiring. My co-workers and other people that know me have congratulated me and are happy to see me in the Hall of Excellence. I really feel blessed and honored.”

The initial class of six inductees will remain on the Doan Hall walls for a year, then a new class will take its place.

Amy Jo Hurley, program director of Medical Center Recognition who created the Hall of Excellence, said she hopes to take the idea to other buildings within the Medical Center, provided areas can be found that make sense.

“We are suggesting that each of our main locations have an element similar to this, with the TV monitors being the most important element,” Hurley said. “The hope is that the monitors can all be in sync to share and recognize our faculty and staff throughout the Medical Center. This is one way we can support our goal of being One University.”

Faculty, staff, students must re-register for Buckeye Alert system

On Sept. 30, the Buckeye Alert emergency text messaging system will be upgraded. Everyone previously registered for text messaging will be removed from the system.

Public Safety plans to use the Human Resources database to pull cell phone numbers for Buckeye Alert text messages. Student numbers will be pulled from the Student Information System. To re-enroll, faculty and staff must update their cell phone numbers in the HR database, which they can do online. Information will be sent out once the online function is active. Faculty and staff not previously enrolled can do so via the same process.

OSU Medical Center faculty and staff already have the ability to register their cell phone numbers and should do so by accessing the employee self-service portal via OneSource.

The re-enrollment is part of Public Safety’s push to update the database, which was originally created in 2006 and has since become outdated. For the latest information, visit buckeyealert.osu.edu.

New career resource: The Versatile PhD

Interested in how graduate degrees translate into careers outside the academy? The Graduate School has purchased a subscription to The Versatile PhD, a web-based resource and online community for graduate students interested in exploring non-academic career options. The subscription gives Ohio State graduate students, faculty and staff full access after going through the Ohio State username.# authentication process. For more information, contact Kathleen Wallace at 247-7283 or visit go.osu.edu/VersatilePhD.

WOSU Public Media divests its AM station

WOSU Public Media has signed an agreement to sell its 820 AM radio station. The $2 million dollar sale was approved by the Ohio State Board of Trustees. The buyer is St. Gabriel Radio Inc., which provides Catholic radio in central Ohio. Transfer of ownership is pending FCC approval, which should occur by the end of the year.

The sale of the AM station by WOSU is part of the station’s plan to build listenership that began in December 2010 with the purchase of 101.1 FM and the launch of Classical 101, which allowed WOSU’s 89.7 FM to shift to an all-day NPR and local news station.

COTA line realignment alters OSU routes

COTA lines No. 7 Neil, No. 18 Kenny, No. 80 OSU/Lennox and No. 84 Arlington/OSU returned to their original alignment with the reopening of Woodruff Avenue. Those lines will no longer serve Curl Drive, W. 18th Avenue or sections of W. Lane Avenue and Tuttle Park Place. Visit cota.com to find active stops.

Faculty, staff encouraged to get free flu shots

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends universal flu vaccinations for everyone age six months and older to expand protection against the flu, and Your Plan for Health has provided for OSU faculty and staff to get their shots for free.

Along with opportunities at numerous campus locations in the coming weeks and months (see https://hr.osu.edu/osuhealthplan/flu/register.aspx for a listing), employees and their families can get the shots with no co-pay at dozens of retail pharmacies (such as CVS, Giant Eagle, K-Mart, Kroger or Meijer) in the OSU Health Plan network.

Flu shots are nondiscretionary for all Medical Center faculty and staff.

Mason Hall opens after renovation

After more than two years of planning and six months of construction work, Mason Hall, 250 W. Woodruff Ave., reopened Sept. 16.

The building, originally dedicated in 1999 and named in recognition of alumnus Maj. Gen. Raymond E. Mason Jr., places a focus on flexible and interactive spaces designed to reflect the workplace of today.

Highlights of the renovation include large and comfortable study areas, conference rooms and 21 student breakout rooms; redesigned administrative offices for units with a focus on action-based learning; a multipurpose space inside the second floor rotunda for classes, meetings, receptions and other special events; state-of-the-art technology throughout; and LEED certification.

Duke University’s Taylor named executive director of Ross Heart Hospital

Martha Taylor was named executive director of the Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital and chief operating officer of the OSU Heart and Vascular Center, effective Oct. 1. In her new role as executive director and COO, Taylor will oversee all administrative and operational functions of the Ross Heart Hospital.

Taylor comes to Ohio State from Duke University Health System, where she served as associate vice president of cardiovascular services, directing and managing all aspects of Duke’s adult and pediatric cardiovascular services across three hospitals, 14 catheterization labs, three electrophysiology labs, five cardiology clinic locations as well as diagnostic and rehabilitation locations.

An Ohio native, Taylor served as director of heart center nursing at Duke from 1995-97 and associate operating officer of the Duke Heart Center clinical service unit 1998-2004.

OARDC opens infectious disease facility

The Ohio Agricultural and Research Development Center opened its new Plant and Animal Agrosecurity Research (PAAR) facility on Sept. 16. PAAR is a highly secure biocontainment building that is required by federal law for conducting research with organisms that cause diseases in animals classified at biosafety level 3 (BSL-3 and/or BSL-3 Ag). It also is needed for working with plant diseases that could cause undue economic hardship on agriculture if released into the environment.

PAAR will be the only facility in Ohio and one of only two nationally with capacity for both plant and animal research at the BSL-3 and BSL-3 Ag safety levels. Ohio State operates several BSL-3 labs on its Columbus campus, but PAAR will be the first BSL-3 facility on the Wooster campus and the university’s first BSL-3 Ag facility.

Staff creativity on display thru Oct. 7 at Bricker Hall

Sandi Weber turns perfect day into fabulous photo

On a spring day in May 2010, Weber was in her backyard in Hilliard admiring her blossoming crabapple tree and the contrast between the sunny day, the broad, shadowed limbs and the bright, white blooms juxtaposed with the off-white, crackled wooden fence that trailed off in the distance.

Weber, who works in the reception area of the Veterinary Medical Center, grabbed her digital point-and-shoot Nikon and took what she considers one of her best photos ever.

“When I looked at it, it just made me feel good. I thought, ‘Wow, it makes me feel like I’m standing out there enjoying that morning all over again,’” said Weber, who earned the Staff Arts and Crafts Exhibit onCampus Editors’ Choice Award for her photo titled “Blooming Sky.”

It was Weber’s first recognition ribbon after submitting six previous entries.

Having lived in that same location for 15 years, Weber was more than familiar with the landscape. But that day, everything  — the weather, the sun’s position and Weber’s mood — just worked in concert.

She first showed the picture to a friend who works with her, and that friend set the photo to be her computer’s screen saver.

“So I thought, ‘That’s a good sign, maybe somebody else will like it too,’” Weber said about deciding to enter the photo in the exhibit, which remains on display at Bricker Hall through Oct. 7. “I hope people feel the same thing I do; they enjoy the freshness, the colors, the contrast and the angle. It kind of catches your interest and you follow the fence down to see what’s beyond the tree.”

The exhibit, co-sponsored by the Office of Human Resources and the University Staff Advisory Committee, has a similar aesthetic, giving viewers the chance to see what’s beyond each artist’s workplace façade.

“It’s always great to see what somebody does beyond their job,” Weber said. “This exhibit gives you a different perspective on that person. And it helps open up working relationships as well.”

Three other awards were handed out last week. Ed Golden in Facilities Operations and Development took home the People’s Choice Award, where visitors to the exhibit picked their favorite entry. His stainless steel Block O’s also garnered a leadership ribbon as the favorite of Graduate School Dean Patrick Osmer.

Department of Plastic Surgery’s Tracy Grody earned the Committee’s Choice ribbon for “A Tie that Binds Us in the Spirit of One,” a quilt with a bow-tie design.

And the Curator’s Choice ribbon went to Student Health Services’ Patricia Balassone, whose “Imaginary Village” is a collage made of everyday objects such as tea tags, wooden sticks, buttons, beads and tissue paper. Her inspiration: Her father’s annual Christmas garden with houses, trains and grass built from found objects.

Merger of Insight, onCampus furthers goal of One University

September 21, 2011

One University isn’t just talk. It’s already embedded in the research, ideas and progress seen across Ohio State. In today’s onCampus, our readers will see an example of this as the OSU Medical Center Insight publication, which has been an insert in the paper since summer 2010, becomes a regular part of the pages.

Along with the addition of the Office of Human Resources’ quarterly newsletter Resources, three key communication vehicles can now be found in one publication, saving paper while reducing the cost of delivering valuable internal news.

“To change the culture at Ohio State, big ideas have to be acted upon,” said Jeff McCallister, onCampus editor. “What began as a leap of faith has now become what seems a natural progression for our publications. The in-depth information Insight provides will now go to the entire campus, giving faculty and staff who don’t work at the Medical Center a chance to read about the great things going on there — perhaps inspiring them to collaborate in ways they never thought of before.”

Insight appears on pages 13-16 in today’s issue, and it is chock full of information, such as timely features on unique personnel, the positive influence of P4 medicine on gangly teens and the launch of the Integrated Healthcare Information System, which features a single, personalized health record for patients no matter where in the OSU Medical Center they go.

Insight, first published in 2004, printed 72 issues before merging with onCampus. It has garnered 12 regional and national awards.

“We’re thrilled to be able to share our stories of medical advancements in research, education and patient care with the larger university community,” said Ginny Halloran, editor of Insight. “We hope all onCampus readers will enjoy learning more about the Medical Center’s accomplishments and sharing these points of pride with friends and family.”

Climate change impact: Forests, birds
Sept. 29
