COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - CONSTRUCTION - ADDRESS: 448 SMOOT AVENUE, DANVILLE, WV 25053-7605 PROJECT DIRECTOR: DAVID GRESHAM, CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER CONTACT PHONE NUMBER: 304-369-2932 CONTACT EMAIL: DGRESHAM@BMH.ORG WEBSITE: WWW.BMH.ORG GRANT PROGRAM FUNDS REQUESTED: $3,000,000 THE BOONE MEMORIAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER IS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN A HRSA-DESIGNATED MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATION THAT WILL INCREASE HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND IMPROVE POPULATION HEALTH, WHILE REVOLUTIONIZING THE TRADITIONAL DELIVERY OF CARE MODEL. SITUATED IN THE 36,000 SQUARE-FOOT FORMER MAGIC MART DEPARTMENT STORE IN DANVILLE, WV, THE CENTER IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO U.S. ROUTE 119 AND IS ONLY 24 MINUTES FROM SOUTHRIDGE SHOPPING CENTER IN SOUTH CHARLESTON, 20 MINUTES FROM CHAPMANVILLE, AND 34 MINUTES FROM LOGAN. THE BOONE MEMORIAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER WILL BE A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR THE RURAL AND UNDERSERVED RESIDENTS OF BOONE, LOGAN, LINCOLN, AND KANAWHA COUNTIES TO HAVE ACCESS TO EXTRAORDINARY PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE, WELLNESS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES, AND MORE, CLOSE TO HOME. THE PROJECT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING EXCELLENT, COST-EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE FROM A CONVENIENT LOCATION WHILE ALSO FOCUSING ON POPULATION HEALTH AND PREVENTION. THE BOONE MEMORIAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER WILL HOUSE A RELOCATED RURAL HEALTH CLINIC (THE BMH MEDICAL CLINIC, CURRENTLY LOCATED LESS THAN 3 MILES AWAY IN MADISON), COMMUNITY FITNESS CENTER, DRIVE-THROUGH CLINIC, PHARMACY, EDUCATION/EVENT CENTER, TEACHING KITCHEN, AND FAST CASUAL RESTAURANT. THIS CDS REQUEST, HOWEVER, IS LIMITED TO THE RURAL HEALTH CLINIC, NEW DRIVE-THROUGH CLINIC, NEW DRIVE-THROUGH PHARMACY BECAUSE THESE THREE DISTINCT SECTIONS OF THE PROJECT ARE AIMED AT ADDRESSING THE INCREASING NUMBER OF PREVENTABLE HOSPITAL STAYS AND THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IN THE REGION. BOONE COUNTY EXPERIENCES NEARLY DOUBLE THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF PREVENTABLE HOSPITAL STAYS NATIONWIDE. THE RURAL HEALTH CLINIC WILL HOUSE S EVERAL PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE PROVIDERS AND SUPPORT STAFF THAT WILL BE RELOCATED TO THIS CLINIC WITH SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA’S ONLY ON-STAGE/OFF-STAGE MODEL OF CARE. THIS MODEL SERVES TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND REDUCE PATIENT WAIT TIMES WHILE MAXIMIZING THE QUALITY OF PATIENTCARE AND SAFETY. THE DRIVE-THROUGH CLINIC WILL BE ONE OF THE FIRST PERMANENT, ENCLOSED, DRIVE-THROUGH CLINICS IN THE COUNTRY. CURRENT PLANS INCLUDE THE ABILITY FOR PATIENTS TO COME IN ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS OR SETUP APPOINTMENTS TO SEE A PROVIDER.

COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - CONSTRUCTION - BOONE MEMORIAL HEALTH (BMH) IS COMMITTED TO ENHANCING HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND EQUITY FOR THE RURAL POPULATION OF SOUTHWESTERN WEST VIRGINIA. SERVING A COMMUNITY OF MORE THAN 70,000 RESIDENTS IN BOONE, LOGAN, LINCOLN, AND SOUTHERN KANAWHA COUNTIES, RESIDENTS FACE SEVERAL BARRIERS IN ACCESS TO CARE, INCLUDING SUCH CHALLENGES AS TRANSPORTATION, SOCIOECONOMIC CONSTRAINTS, ADVANCED AGE, AND HIGHER INCIDENCES OF CHRONIC DISEASES. THIS PROJECT, FUNDED BY A $2,200,000 ALLOCATION FOR THE PURCHASE OF INTUITIVE DA VINCI 5 ROBOTIC SURGERY EQUIPMENT, WORKS TO OVERCOME THESE CHALLENGES BY PROVIDING ADVANCED SURGICAL PROCEDURES LOCALLY, WHICH ARE TYPICALLY AVAILABLE ONLY IN URBAN CENTERS. THE INTRODUCTION OF THE DA VINCI 5 SYSTEM AT BMH WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE SURGICAL CARE PROVIDED TO RURAL WEST VIRGINIANS BY REDUCING PAIN, SHORTENING RECOVERY TIMES, MINIMIZING HOSPITAL STAYS, AND DECREASING INFECTION RISKS, WHEN COMPARED TO OPEN SURGERY. THIS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY WILL ENSURE THAT PATIENTS WHO CANNOT EASILY TRAVEL TO URBAN AREAS HAVE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY SURGICAL OPTIONS. THE DA VINCI 5 SYSTEM IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY, OFFERING ENHANCED PRECISION, FLEXIBILITY, AND CONTROL FOR A WIDE RANGE OF PROCEDURES. DESIGNED TO ENABLE BETTER OUTCOMES, MORE EFFICIENCY, AND ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS, DA VINCI 5 BRINGS MORE THAN 150 DESIGN INNOVATIONS AND 10,000X THE COMPUTING POWER OF DA VINCI XI. THESE ADVANCES SUPPORT ENHANCED SURGICAL SENSES, GREATER SURGEON AUTONOMY, MORE STREAMLINED OR WORKFLOWS, AND ADVANCED DATA ANALYTICS TO ENABLE THE FUTURE OF SURGERY. COMPARED TO OPEN SURGERY, THE USE OF THE DA VINCI SYSTEM HAS BEEN SHOWN TO REDUCE COMPLICATIONS WITHIN 30 DAYS POST-SURGERY BY 37%, SHORTEN THE AVERAGE POST-OPERATIVE HOSPITAL STAY BY 2.12 DAYS, DECREASE THE 30-DAY MORTALITY RATE BY 60%, AND REDUCE THE NEED FOR BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS BY 74%. ADDITIONALLY, THE RISK OF INJURY TO SURROUNDING TISSUES AND ORGANS IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER, AND OPERATION TIMES ARE SHORTER, POTENTIALLY REDUCING PRE-OP HOLDING AREA WAIT TIMES BY NEARLY 20%. SINCE 2012, THE USE OF DA VINCI TECHNOLOGY IN WEST VIRGINIA HAS RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS, AVOIDING AN ESTIMATED $85 MILLION IN HEALTHCARE COSTS. IN ADDITION TO SAVING COSTS ON HEALTHCARE, THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO DIRECTLY CREATE UP TO 25 NEW JOBS AT BMH, ASSIST IN THE RECRUITMENT OF SURGEONS, AND GENERATE SIGNIFICANT INDIRECT ECONOMIC BENEFITS BY ATTRACTING MORE BUSINESSES AND ENHANCING LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. BY MINIMIZING POST-OPERATIVE PAIN, THE PROJECT ALSO AIMS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF OPIOIDS PRESCRIBED POST-OPERATION, CONTRIBUTING TO BROADER EFFORTS TO COMBAT THE OPIOID CRISIS IN THE REGION. ROBOTIC-ASSISTED SURGERY IS BECOMING THE STANDARD OF CARE, WITH A PROJECTED INCREASE FROM 8% IN 2012 TO 45% IN 2023 IN WEST VIRGINIA. TRANSPORTATION ISSUES ARE THE PRIMARY REASON FOR APPOINTMENT CANCELLATIONS IN THE REGION. BY PROVIDING ROBOTIC-ASSISTED SURGERY IN A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL MUCH CLOSER TO HOME, PATIENTS ARE LESS LIKELY TO BE FORCED TO CANCEL SURGERIES AND POST-SURGERY APPOINTMENTS DUE TO TRANSPORTATION ISSUES. WEST VIRGINIA HAS A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER NUMBER OF DA VINCI SYSTEMS PER CAPITA THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, FURTHER HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED FOR INCREASED ACCESS TO THIS TECHNOLOGY. IN CONCLUSION, THE BOONE MEMORIAL HEALTH SURGERY ENHANCEMENT PROJECT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE HEALTHCARE OUTCOMES AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RURAL WEST VIRGINIANS, ENSURING THEY RECEIVE STATE-OF-THE-ART SURGICAL CARE CLOSE TO HOME, FOSTERING LOCAL ECONOMIC GROWTH, AND STRENGTHENING THE OVERALL HEALTHCARE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE REGION.
