Delevan RN Proctor Hospital’s Nurse of the Year
Proctor Hospital is pleased to announce that Donna Jean Schertz, RN, was selected as its 2012 recipient of the Donna Pauli Award for Nursing – Proctor Hospital’s Nurse of the Year Award.
Donna Schertz has been employed by Proctor Hospital since 1978 when she was a Certified Nursing Assistant. She received her diploma in Nursing in 1979.
“I don’t know what else I’d do if I wasn’t a nurse,” said Schertz. “I am humbled at receiving this recognition. Donna Pauli was a mentor and a friend. She was an inspiration to me and instilled such confidence in me. And she was so full of knowledge.”
The Donna Pauli Award for Nursing is a memorial award celebrating the life and profession of Donna Jean Pauli, a graduate of the Proctor School of Nursing in 1954. Pauli received the award in 1990 and it was renamed for her after her passing. “Proctor is the best place in the world to work,” said Schertz. “And my co-workers, they’re the best. We genuinely care for one another, provide for and depend on one another.”
Schertz received the Award during National Nurses’ Week in May. The Delevan resident is the mother of two.

CONGRATULATIONS! Proctor Hospital received an Honorable Mention in the Animation category for an orthopedic services television commercial.

PROCTOR HOSPITAL LAUNCHES NEW SYSTEM TO
HELP IMPROVE HEART ATTACK PATIENT OUTCOMES
Proctor Hospital has launched a new system to help improve heart attack patient outcomes. The LIFENET System, from Physio-Control, Inc., is the first web-based data network of its kind, offering emergency medical services (EMS) and hospital teams tools to work together to help improve clinical and operational efficiencies. The Hospital’s use of LIFENET System has the goal of reducing time to treatment, known as door-to-balloon time (D2B), for patients in central Illinois who experience a dangerous type of heart attack known as STEMI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction).
STEMI poses a serious threat to the heart muscle and can result in death or serious disability for the patient. The more quickly patients receive treatment, which may include balloon angioplasty and stent placement in the cardiac catheterization (cath) lab, the more likely they are to have a positive outcome. D2B time refers to the interval from patient arrival at the hospital to inflation of the balloon catheter within the patient's blocked artery – the shorter the D2B time, the greater the chance of survival.
“The LIFENET System will help us reduce time to treatment for STEMI patients,” said James Hubler, M.D., Emergency Department Medical Director. “Studies show that time from onset of symptoms to treatment is critical to improving survival and outcomes for these patients. Having this new system will enable us to better meet the guideline of treatment as recommended by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology.”
