DEBORAH
UPDATES
The Southampton Chapter of Deborah is one of over
150 community based Chapters scattered throughout New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and Florida. These Chapters are dedicated to raising funds for
the Deborah Hospital Foundation which, in turn, supports the operation of the
Deborah Heart and Lung Center.
The Southampton Chapter of Deborah had its origins
in the mid 1960's when a group of twenty women met in the Grange Hall in
Vincentown to raise money for the Deborah Hospital. This fledgling group
continued to grow and flourish. In June of 1972, the Deborah Hospital
Foundation officially chartered the Southampton Chapter of Deborah.
In 1983, the meetings of the Southampton Chapter
of Deborah were moved to Settlers Hall in LeisureTowne. Since then, the
Chapter meetings have been held every third Thursday of the month in Settlers
Hall excluding the summer months.
THE
DEBORAH HEART AND LUNG CENTER
From its humble beginnings in 1922 as a sanatorium for patients recovering
from tuberculosis, the Deborah Heart and Lung Center has evolved into a
hospital that is recognized world wide for the contributions it has made in
the treatment and cure of various heart, lung, and vascular diseases. Since
1922, Deborah has continued to grow and expand.
Last year, the Deborah Heart and Lung Center had
over 5,000 admissions with an average stay of 6.4 days. These admissions
involved various surgical procedures such as open and closed heart surgeries
and various pulmonary and vascular procedures. In addition, over 36,000 out
patients received some form of medical treatment and/or medical testing such
as cardiac catherization, cardiac electro physiology, nuclear medicine, and
respiratory care services.
The Deborah Heart and Lung Center has a staff of
many specialists who practice in the Center on a full time basis. There are
many Registered Nurses (RNs) who provide high quality care for the patients at
Deborah. The ratio of nurses to patients is one of the highest in the state.
In the Medical Intensive Care Unit, the Surgical Post Procedure Unit, and the
Neonatal and Pediatric Cardiac Surgical Unit, the ratio of nurses to patients
is on a one to one basis.
The high quality care and
services provided by the Deborah Heart and Lung Center is well known by
anyone who has been a patient at Deborah. It is interesting to note that all
this excellent medical care and treatment is provided at no cost to the
patient except for whatever his or her medical plan may provide. The Deborah
Foundation exists solely on what they get from the individual patient's
medical plans (including Medicare, HMO's, Blue Cross, etc.), and from
donations received from various organizations and benefactors including the
many Deborah Chapters scattered throughout the area.
