Adventist Health Lodi Memorial takes strides as it becomes ONE Adventist Health

In 2016, Adventist Health began its expedition toward ONE Adventist Health, aligning our work to achieve the benefits of being part of a system. It creates a way to meet the changing needs of consumers, find success in the evolving healthcare industry and transform the health experience, outcomes and status of our communities.

At Adventist Health Lodi Memorial, there were many transitions from 2016 to 2017. This is the start of a new journey, where those serving Lodi patients can begin working more closely with sister hospitals across three states and with the rest of Adventist Health’s 23,000 employees. It means there is clarity about where we’re going and how we’re going to get there. It means efficiency, with greater focus and consistency around decisions. It means accountability and having the right skills, interests, and roles. ONE Adventist Health defines who we are and how we govern, and includes the launch of a new brand, mission statement, vision, and values:

Adventist Health 2020 Strategic Vision

"By the end of 2020, Adventist Health with our engaged physicians, workforce, and community, will transform the health (including experience, outcomes, and status) for our defined populations, especially the underserved. We will partner a fully integrated, affordable value based network of services to serve 2 million lives with the ability to manage and leverage information in a full-risk payment environment. Our presence in Western states, including rural markets, where we have an advantageous, competitive position, enables us to expand our mission and double the number of people served resulting in $6 billion in revenue, 13% EBIDA margin and top quartile performance against A rated systems. Our priority is faith-based, whole-person health enlivened by our Seventh-day Adventist heritage."

This story is just one example of how lives are touched by the caring and compassionate Lodi Memorial staff:

The Gift of Freedom / Inspiring Wholeness

For Megan McGregor, she was just doing her job as an ICU nurse at Adventist Health Lodi Memorial. But to Joe, who was on a ventilator with a tracheostomy and unable to move his body, Megan was a miracle worker who went above and beyond to help him have an unforgettable experience. After an extended stay in the unit, Megan thought Joe could use a dose of something other than his usual meds. Her prescription—fresh air, sunshine and the great outdoors on the ICU patio.

Getting Joe outside would require a team effort. Megan got his doctor’s order and made a plan to keep Joe ventilated and safe during the adventure. She measured the door openings and bed width, secured a portable ventilator and even planned extra staffing.

With the help of her team members, the field trip to watch the sun rise from the patio was a success and gave Joe a rare sense of freedom.

Joe’s family was touched by the tenderness shown to their son and wrote, “Megan took the case and concern to the next level. This gave him not only a change of scenery but a spirit-lifter to watch the new day unfold and bring hope to Joe.”

2016 Accomplishments

2016 was not only a year of growth for Adventist Health Lodi Memorial, it was also a year of acknowledgment. Whether it was our ICU’s achievement of the prestigious Beacon Award or our Acute Physical Rehab unit scoring in the top 98th percentile, many of our teams were recognized for their tireless work in improving processes and patient care. We’re extremely proud to be considered leaders in healthcare. Here is a look at our top 2016 accomplishments:

  • Expanded partnerships with health care providers, wellness resources and community to improve health status and outcomes in the community by launching new population health initiatives lead by new assistant vice president of population health.

  • Collected enough blood to save 75 lives in an employee blood drive for Delta Blood Bank.
  • Sponsored numerous community events, including the American Cancer Society’s Moonlight Gala, Lodi’s Field and Fair Day and the American Red Cross Heroes Breakfast.
