DEBORAH CHAPTER HISTORICAL FACTS
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 cath./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 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.
