Breast Oncology Navigators pave the road to recovery
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 1/21/10

(423) 230-8237
BREAST ONCOLOGY NAVIGATORS PAVE THE ROAD TO RECOVERY
There are few things more frightening to a woman than a diagnosis of breast cancer – except, perhaps, facing such a diagnosis alone.
That's why the Wellmont Regional Cancer Network offers oncology breast navigators to guide patients through treatment at Holston Valley Medical Center and Bristol Regional Medical Center. Every breast cancer patient receives one-on-one attention to help her navigate through diagnosis, treatment and recovery – all from the very beginning.
"My role is to pick the patient up at the initial diagnosis," said Mary Coon, a registered nurse and oncology breast navigator at Bristol Regional.
"I determine if the patient already has a surgeon, assercertain when her appointment is, attend the consultation with her, hear what the physician says, hear options and reiterate what the surgeon has stated to the patient, helping her make an informed decision about her personal treatment process."
That same customized attention can be expected at Holston Valley, where LaCosta Brown, who is certified in breast cancer and general oncology, is the oncology breast care coordinator.
"Not everyone has the same life," Brown said. "Not everyone has the same needs. We coordinate their care around their life to our best ability."
Navigators aid patients in coordinating office visits and treatments so all their time isn't spent at the hospital. Navigators also provide valuable tools such as information on how to find additional funding for care, where to meet with local support groups and where to find wigs.
In addition, navigators attend weekly multidisciplinary conferences to discuss post-operative and newly diagnosed patients – one at a time. Also attending those sessions are physicians and staff members from radiology, pathology, surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, clinical trials, genetic counseling and plastic surgery departments.
"We do these because it puts more heads on the case," Coon said. "It gives us all a better approach to a patient's treatment. It gives me great confidence knowing I'm recommending the right options for my patients."

Ribbon Cutting for TriSummit Bank Church Circle Financial Center
KINGSPORT, Tenn. – The Kingsport Area Chamber of Commerce will host a ribbon cutting for TriSummit Bank Church Circle Financial Center will be held Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2010, at 2:30 p.m. at 422 Broad Street, downtown Kingsport.
TriSummit Bank opened business in February 2007, as a full-service community bank with a principal office in each of the Tri-Cities.
As long-time residents and community leaders, the founders believed there was a need for a home-owned community bank dedicated to serving the consumers and businesses in Kingsport, Bristol and Johnson City in a way that exceeded expectations.
"Our strength is our people who are an outstanding team of experienced and highly qualified financial professionals," said chairman and CEO R. Lynn Shipley, Jr. "Their focus is on the guiding values for the bank of exceeding customer expectations for both service and quality by doing the right thing, giving more than people have learned to expect, treating customers and each other the way we'd want to be treated."
The bank's leadership purchased the former American Electric Power building in 2007 for Tri-Summit's second Kingsport location. The building was selected based on the prime downtown location with the space needed, and to be part of downtown redevelopment. TriSummit's intent in pursuing the purchase was to do something positive for the bank and community.
The new financial center occupies the first floor and features a number of client amenities and state-of-the-art technology housed against the backdrop of the building's unique architectural features. The bank's corporate offices were relocated from the Stone Drive location to the second floor of the financial center.
"Opening the Church Circle Financial Center in this landmark building on historic Church Circle marks the addition of a second location in Kingsport, the renewal of a beautiful downtown building and a celebration of the bank's third anniversary," stated Executive Vice President and Kingsport Area Manager Ted Fields.
"We are very pleased with the outstanding construction, renovation and preservation efforts of our architect, general contractor and sub-contractors, as well as a number of highly talented artisans from the region who worked with us to repair, refurbish and/or replace the building's distinctive architectural features," Shipley said .
Fields announced veteran Kingsport banker Joyce Dockery has been named Financial Center manager for the Church Circle office, moving from the Stone Drive office. Brent Mullins has been named the new Stone Drive Financial Center manager.
Hours of operation are Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
For more information on TriSummit Bank call (423) 392-5617 or visit www.trisummitbank.com.

STRESS TESTING NOW AVAILABLE AT LEE REGIONAL
PENNINGTON GAP, Va. – Undergoing an important cardiac test will now be a little less stressful for Lee County residents and the surrounding region.
Stress testing, a diagnostic tool that helps determine the health of a person's heart, is available at Lee Regional Medical Center, enabling people in the Lee County area to get the care they need without a lengthy drive.
Lee Regional is working with Cardiovascular Associates of Kingsport, Tenn., to offer stress tests on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The hospital is already seeing high demand for the service – completing 10 tests in three days.
Carol Haworth, a nurse practitioner who has worked with CVA for more than 10 years, is conducting the tests. She is working under the direction of Dr. Kiran Chennareddy, a family medicine physician in Pennington Gap who has credentials to provide cardiac stress testing, and Dr. Herbert Ladley, a board-certified cardiologist with CVA.
Stress testing has not been available at Lee Regional since the hospital's cardiologist left the area two years ago. Since then, Lee Regional has referred patients to CVA in Kingsport to undergo stress tests.
"We're very excited to have this service back at Lee Regional," said Bruce Ellis, Lee Regional's vice president of clinical affairs. "A major positive for patients is not to have to travel a long distance for a procedure that can now be provided at home."
A cardiac stress test is an indirect way of assessing the heart's blood supply by exposing the heart to exercise, usually on a bike or treadmill. Patients who have an abnormal resting heart rate or cannot otherwise exercise can take the test but are induced by medication that stimulates the rate and pumping force of the heart similar to that of physical exercise.
Cardiac stress tests can be ordered for patients who visit the ER for chest pain but have not suffered an acute heart attack or for patients with multiple coronary disease risk factors.
Lee Regional President Ron Prewitt said the hospital is proud to offer quality health care close to home.
"The return of stress testing at our community hospital is a sign of our commitment to the welfare of our patients," Prewitt said. "We're honored that the residents of Lee County have entrusted us to take care of their medical needs."

One of Two Remaining Wolves Recaptures - Bays Mountain Park re-opens
A search team consisting of Bays Mountain Park officials and volunteers successfully captured and returned to the park one of the two remaining escaped gray wolves late Tuesday afternoon.
Kawoni, a female wolf from the older pack, was spotted at a property located just outside park boundaries on Hood Road. She was then successfully darted with a tranquilizer allowing the search team to approach and secure her for safe transport back to Bays Mountain Park. Upon her arrival, Kawoni was then placed in a separate enclosure from the other wolves where she is slated to undergo a physical examination by a veterinarian this evening.
The return of Kawoni also made possible a ruling by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) to allow the park to re-open at noon on Wednesday, January 27. The park had remained closed since December 4 when six of the park’s eight gray wolves escaped from their habitat when heavy, damaging winds caused a tree to fall destroying sections of their enclosure. Four of the escaped wolves were returned to their habitat within days while the remaining two proved elusive until Kawoni’s capture this afternoon.
“We are elated to have successfully captured one of the remaining escaped wolves,” said Park Manager Ken Childress. “The safe return of Kawoni is a huge morale boost for those members of our staff and volunteers who have worked so tirelessly and faithfully to bring the wolves back home. There are also park neighbors who have assisted in the effort and we are tremendously grateful for their help and support.”
Any additional updates and information regarding Kawoni’s recapture will be made available tomorrow.
One of the nation’s largest city-owned parks with 3,550 acres, Bays Mountain Park features 37 miles of hiking trails, a state-of-the-art planetarium, wildlife habitats, fun exhibits, a 44-acre lake, trails for mountain biking and much, much more.

CREWS REMOVING 125-FOOT TALL CHIMNEY
AT HOLSTON VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER
KINGSPORT – For decades, the 125-foot tall chimney at Holston Valley Medical Center has soared into the skyline and served as one of Kingsport's landmarks.
But soon, the chimney will no longer be part of the landscape. Employees of Taft & Frye, a demolition company from Bristol, Va., are dismantling the structure that served the hospital for 58 years. The chimney was taken out of service in early December when the second of two replacement chimneys, both about 30 feet, went on line.
The chimney removal and replacement is part of Project Platinum, the ongoing renovation and expansion of the hospital.
"To me, it will take the institutional look away from the facility, which is in keeping with the major internal and external upgrades and additions we're doing," Jim Moore, Wellmont Health System's vice president of facilities, said of the chimney's removal. "It will definitely improve the hospital aesthetically."
Removing the chimney has been a priority for Holston Valley President Blaine Douglas.
"I think it's a signal that we're moving forward and have a new facility," Douglas said. "It's a new beginning."
The chimney is made of various types of brick and had a concrete cap on top. Workers are removing the chimney by hand, and the demolition should be complete in about six weeks.
Moore considered using explosives to remove the chimney but abandoned that thought after talking to Taft & Frye. That would have put some critical life safety electrical feeds and emergency generators at risk.
"Safety always comes first," he said.
