An update for supporters of Monongahela Valley Hospital Spring 2015 FOCUS ON Gifts of Warmth Help Heal A ll the signs were there, she said, but 53-year old Wendy Corazzi, of Fredericktown, did not stop smoking. It had been her habit for 35 years. Blood clots in her lungs in 2012 were followed in 2013 by a bout of pneumonia and then a year later, hyponatremia, abnormally low blood sodium that can be caused by cancer. Her team of physicians ordered a CT scan and discovered an irregular result. Three weeks later, she began chemotherapy and radiation to treat what turned out to be lung cancer and tumors on three lymph nodes. “I felt confused, I felt lost, and I’m looking around and thinking, ‘How am I going to do this?’” she said. Wendy rose to the occasion and decided that her goal was to kill this cancer. She said the tragic news snapped her out of a 10-year depression and after dropping her anti-depressants and her pain management medications, she “became alive again.” “I decided that I could either sit in the corner and cry about it and waste my life or I could be proactive,” she said. She found strength and support in her family — husband Lee, and adult sons Lee II and Steve. She found peace in “her faith in the Lordship of Jesus Christ.” And she says the staff at Monongahela Valley Hospital’s Charles L. and Rose Sweeney Melenyzer Pavilion and Regional Cancer Center gave her comfort and courage and “treated me like a queen.” She also found many small blessings in items donated by anonymous, generous community members that lifted her spirits and made her feel special. The day Wendy shared her story, she was sporting a lovely hand-knitted dark blue hat and matching scarf that was donated by a local group. She also showed off some of her other favorite handcrafted, donated items that have given her practical help during her treatments. “I noticed right away — oh, my gosh — I saw my hair in my silverware drawer and in my food and the holidays were coming,” Wendy Corazzi, outside of the Charles L. & Rose Sweeney Melenyzer Pavilion and Regional Cancer Center, where she recently has received treatments. she recalls. “And then I found these minichef’s hats. I can wear them while cooking and then take them off and shake them out outside and can sit down to eat without worrying.” She said that part of being proactive included changing her diet to all local, natural and seasonal foods, and reading about the side effects of her treatment to better deal with them. “For me, I get up every morning and do my makeup and my hair for my family so they aren’t looking at me and thinking, ‘That’s right, we have cancer in our lives,’” she said. “I want them to say, ‘She’s doing well,” and I want to look in the mirror and say, ‘I look alright today, and I still have some hair.’” She advises other women to really take care of themselves in whatever way it is that will make them feel good. For Wendy, it was learning how to apply makeup to minimize the effects of her treatments and finding a stylist who knew how to care for cancer patients’ hair. “But that’s just the beauty, on-theoutside part of it for me. I changed my diet and I keep up with my treatments, I don’t miss, I’ve not missed and I won’t miss, I’m sticking with that to make sure we kill this cancer.” In early February, Wendy learned she was doing very well and only needed two more chemotherapy treatments, less than were originally scheduled. “Dr. (Barry) Tonkonow said there were no detectable malignancies in my PET scan, which means I’m cancer free,” she shared. “I was diagnosed early and we attacked it from every angle. I cannot say enough about the doctors, nurses and radiation therapists here. It’s a real miracle.” She plans to repay the small blessings she received from strangers as a patient at the MVH Regional Cancer Center. Although she does not knit or sew, Wendy says she has some craft ideas that could help other patients. “I see myself coming back to help other cancer patients in some way,” she said. Grateful patient, Wendy Corazzi, accepts a donated knitted hat that will keep her warm during her treatments. A Note of Thanks T he names listed throughout this publication reflect the generosity of those individuals and organizations in and around our community who believe in Monongahela Valley Hospital’s mission to enhance the health of the residents of the mid-Mon Valley. It is because of this generosity that over the past year we have made substantial improvements in many areas throughout the Hospital, specifically in women’s health and cardiac catheterization. As you read further into this newsletter, you will see a full description of these enhancements. As we look to the future, I am excited to announce that our upcoming Gala, A Night at the Museum, will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2015 at the Westin Convention Center in Pittsburgh. We hope you will join us for another exciting evening that will take us on a journey through time in our museum. Again, thank you for your continued generosity and dedication to Monongahela Valley Hospital. It is our hope that you enjoy reading about the positive impact you continue to have on the patients we serve. Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely, Sara A. Schumacher, CFRE Vice President of Fund Development Monongahela Valley Hospital’s Twenty-Seventh Annual Gala Sat., May 16, 2015 Westin Convention Center, Pittsburgh For a complete list of sponsorship opportunities, for more information or to purchase tickets contact the Office of Fund Development at 724-258-1657 or [email protected] 2 Cardiac Catheterization Lab — Artis zee® angiography system Funding Update T hrough the generosity of our community, Monongahela Valley Hospital has been fortunate enough to recently complete two new projects in both our Imaging Center at the HealthPLEX and in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab on our main campus. The 3-D mammogram, which is also known as digital breast tomosynthesis, is a new technology that captures a series of consecutive images from different angles across the arc of the breast to produce three-dimensional slice images. The slices enable radiologists to examine breast tissue one layer at a time instead of viewing all of the layers together as a flat image. An abnormality that is hidden behind tissue in one image may be visible in another image at a slightly different angle. Radiologists can also target the size, shape and precise location of a suspicious image. The 3-D mammogram provides many benefits including fewer callbacks for additional images, which in turn reduces anxiety; fewer unnecessary biopsies, fewer additional tests, and a greater likelihood of detecting multiple breast tumors. In addition to the new technology at HealthPLEX Imaging, the hospital has also completed a major renovation to its Cardiac Catheterization Lab. The installation of the new Artis zee® (ceiling/floor)-mounted angiography system provides physicians with highly detailed images of patient’s blood vessels during diagnostic and treatment procedures. The ergonomic design of this system eliminates time-consuming and uncomfortable repositioning of the patient in the exam room, making the procedure faster and less stressful. Also, the system is specially designed to provide patients with the lowest possible radiation dose. Minimizing radiation is especially beneficial during angiographic procedures because they are often lengthy in duration. It is because of generous donors, like you, that our Hospital is continually able to update our services to be the very best that our patients deserve. Thank you for your support. ) 2014 LightUp aLife These donors have generously contributed to the 2014 Light Up A Life Holiday Campaign. It serves as a way to honor or memorialize those family members and friends whom these donors keep close to their hearts through the year and especially during the holidays.

At Monongahela Valley Hospital we support our physicians and are proud to have them as part of Team MVH! To show our appreciation, the Office of Fund Development has created a Doctors’ Day Campaign. This campaign is a way for an individual or group to make a gift in honor of a doctor. This can be done through our website at monvalleyhospital.com by clicking on the Donate Now page and including the doctor’s name in the Tribute Information. Gifts can also be made by contacting the Office of Fund Development at 724-258-1657. When a gift is made, the honored doctor will receive a personal message notifying him or her of the thoughtful tribute. Take a moment today to thank a doctor you appreciate.
