The Medical Center of Central Georgia Receives National Leadership Award From VHA Inc.

Award Recognizes Excellence in Supply Chain Management Improvement

Macon, Georgia (May 1, 2006)¯VHA Inc., a national health care alliance based in Irving, Texas, has recognized The Medical Center of Central Georgia (MCCG) for its excellence in supply chain management improvement. MCCG is one of only 23 VHA member hospitals nationwide to receive the 2006 VHA Leadership Award for Supply Chain Management Improvement. The hospital will receive the award May 21, 2006, at VHA’s Leadership Conference in St. Louis, Mo.

"This award validates the dedicated focus of our supply chain team to improve purchasing processes and distributing and managing the materials and products we need to take care of patients and run our hospital," said Don Faulk, president and CEO of MCCG. "Supplies are the second largest expense category for hospitals-behind salaries-so controlling these costs enhances our ability to hire more staff and provide better patient care."

The award is being presented for efforts related to standardization programs that saved the hospital over $3,000,000. This initiative has significantly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of the hospital’s supply chain program.

The VHA Leadership Award for Supply Chain Management Improvement encompasses a variety of areas including: product selection; contracting/sourcing; procurement; standardization; distribution and logistics; inventory management; and product utilization. Hospitals’ supply chain programs are evaluated on criteria such as their ability to make superior product selection decisions, use of technology assessment teams, focus on patient safety and how well they incorporate strategies such as standardization and efforts to use supplies more effectively.

SUCCESS IS A MATTER OF EXPECTATION

2005-09-11T09:55:00.000-05:00

Sunday, September 11, 2005

You must first expect to succeed if you want to succeed.When you expect good things to happen,strangely enough, they will happen.
Your expectation energizes your goals and gives them momentum.Since your life will always respond to your outlook, set your goals high.
The dreams you choose to believe in will come to be.You can't expect to succeed beyond your wildest expectationsunless you begin with some pretty wild expectations.

Who's Packing your Parachute?

2005-06-11T08:32:00.000-05:00

Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile.

Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience!

You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk

You were shot down!"

"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.

"I packed your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked !"

Plumb assured him, "It sure did. If your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."

Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking aboutthat man. Plumb says, "I kept wondering what he had looked like in a Navy uniform: a white hat; a bib in the back; and bell-bottom trousers.

I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because,you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor.

Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn't know.

Now, Plumb asks his audience, "Who's packing your parachute?"

Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. He also pointsout that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory - he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these supports before reaching safety.

Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason. As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachutes.
Thank you for your part in packing our parachute. And I hope you will send it on to those who have helped pack yours!Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep for-warding jokesto us without writing a word. Maybe this could explain it:When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do -you forward jokes. And to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get?

A forwarded joke.

So my friend, next time when you get a joke, don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile, just helping you pack your parachute.

The Daffodil Principle

2005-05-01T08:27:00.000-05:00

Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, "Mother, you must come and see the daffodils before they are over." I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead. Going and coming took most of a day - and I honestly did not have a free day until the following week."I will come next Tuesday," I promised, a little reluctantly, on her third call. Next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove the length of Route 91, continued on I-215, and finally turned onto Route 18 and began to drive up the mountain highway. The tops of the mountains were sheathed in clouds, and I had gone only a few miles when the road was completely covered with a wet, gray blanket of fog. I slowed to a crawl, my heart pounding. The road becomes narrow and winding toward the top of the mountain.
As I executed the hazardous turns at a snail's pace, I was praying to reach the turnoff at Blue Jay that would signify I had arrived. When I finally walked into Carolyn's house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren I said, "Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible in the clouds and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these darling children that I want to see bad enough to drive another inch!"My daughter smiled calmly, "We drive in this all the time, Mother.""Well, you won't get me back on the road until it clears - and then I'm heading for home!" I assured her."I was hoping you'd take me over to the garage to pick up my car. The mechanic just called, and they've finished repairing the engine," she answered."How far will we have to drive?" I asked cautiously."Just a few blocks,"Carolyn said cheerfully.
So we buckled up the children and went out to my car. "I'll drive," Carolyn offered. "I'm used to this." We got into the car, and she began driving.In a few minutes I was aware that we were back on the Rim-of-the-World Road heading over the top of the mountain. "Where are we going?" I exclaimed, distressed to be back on the mountain road in the fog. "This isn't the way to the garage!""We're going to my garage the long way," Carolyn smiled, "by way of the daffodils.""Carolyn, I said sternly, trying to sound as if I was still the mother and in charge of the situation, "please turn around. There is nothing in the world that I want to see enough to drive on this road in this weather.""It's all right, Mother," She replied with a knowing grin. "I know what I'm doing. I promise, you will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience."And so my sweet, darling daughter who had never given me a minute of difficulty in her whole life was suddenly in charge - and she was kidnapping me! I couldn't believe it. Like it or not, I was on the way to see some ridiculous daffodils - driving through the thick, gray silence of the mist-wrapped mountaintop at what I thought was risk to life and limb.I muttered all the way. After about twenty minutes we turned onto a small gravel road that branched down into an oak-filled hollow on the side of the mountain. The fog had lifted a little, but the sky was lowering, gray and heavy with clouds.We parked in a small parking lot adjoining a little stone church.
From our vantage point at the top of the mountain we could see beyond us, in the mist, the crests of the San Bernardino range like the dark, humped backs of a herd of elephants. Far below us the fog-shrouded valleys, hills, and flatlands stretched away to the desert.On the far side of the church I saw a pine-needle-covered path, with towering evergreens and manzanita bushes and an inconspicuous, lettered sign "Daffodil Garden."We each took a child's hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path as it wound through the trees. The mountain sloped away from the side of the path in irregular dips, folds, and valleys, like a deeply creased skirt.Live oaks, mountain laurel, shrubs, and bushes clustered in the folds, and in the gray, drizzling air, the green foliage looked dark and monochromatic. I shivered. Then we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped. Before me lay the most glorious sight, unexpectedly and completely splendid. It looked as though someone had taken a great vat of gold and poured it down over the mountain peak and slopes where it had run into every crevice and over every rise. Even in the mist-filled air, the mountainside was radiant, clothed in massive drifts and waterfalls of daffodils.
The flowers were planted in majestic, swirling patterns, great ribbons and swaths of deep orange, white, lemon yellow, salmon pink, saffron, and butter yellow.Each different-colored variety (I learned later that there were more than thirty-five varieties of daffodils in the vast display) was planted as a group so that it swirled and flowed like its own river with its own unique hue.In the center of this incredible and dazzling display of gold, a great cascade of purple grape hyacinth flowed down like a waterfall of blossoms framed in its own rock-lined basin, weaving through the brilliant daffodils.
A charming path wound throughout the garden. There were several resting stations, paved with stone and furnished with Victorian wooden benches and great tubs of coral and carmine tulips. As though this were not magnificent enough, Mother Nature had to add her own grace note - above the daffodils, a bevy of western bluebirds flitted and darted, flashing their brilliance. These charming little birds are the color of sapphires with breasts of magenta red. As they dance in the air, their colors are truly like jewels above the blowing, glowing daffodils. The effect was spectacular.It did not matter that the sun was not shining. The brilliance of the daffodils was like the glow of the brightest sunlit day. Words, wonderful as they are, simply cannot describe the incredible beauty of that flower-bedecked mountain top.Five acres of flowers! (This too I discovered later when some of my questions were answered.) "But who has done this?" I asked Carolyn. I was overflowing with gratitude that she brought me - even against my will. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience."Who?" I asked again, almost speechless with wonder, "And how, and why, and when?""It's just one woman," Carolyn answered. "She lives on the property. That's her home." Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory.We walked up to the house, my mind buzzing with questions.
On the patio we saw a poster. "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking" was the headline. The first answer was a simple one. "50,000 bulbs," it read. The second answer was, "One at a time, by one woman, two hands, two feet, and very little brain." The third answer was, "Began in 1958."There it was. The Daffodil Principle.For me that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than thirty-five years before, had begun - one bulb at a time - to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountain top. One bulb at a time.There was no other way to do it. One bulb at a time. No shortcuts - simply loving the slow process of planting. Loving the work as it unfolded.Loving an achievement that grew so slowly and that bloomed for only three weeks of each year. Still, just planting one bulb at a time, year after year, had changed the world.
This unknown woman had forever changed the world in which she lived. She had created something of ineffable magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.The principle her daffodil garden taught is one of the greatest principle of celebration: learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time - often just one baby-step at a time - learning to love the doing, learning to use the accumulation of time.When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world."Carolyn," I said that morning on the top of the mountain as we left the haven of daffodils, our minds and hearts still bathed and bemused by the splendors we had seen, "it's as though that remarkable woman has needle-pointed the earth! Decorated it. Just think of it, she planted every single bulb for more than thirty years. One bulb at a time! And that's the only way this garden could be created. Every individual bulb had to be planted. There was no way of short-circuiting that process. Five acres of blooms. That magnificent cascade of hyacinth! All, just one bulb at a time.
"The thought of it filled my mind. I was suddenly overwhelmed with the implications of what I had seen. "It makes me sad in a way," I admitted to Carolyn. "What might I have accomplished if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty-five years ago and had worked away at it 'one bulb at a time' through all those years. Just think what I might have been able to achieve!"My wise daughter put the car into gear and summed up the message of the day in her direct way. "Start tomorrow," she said with the same knowing smile she had worn for most of the morning. Oh, profound wisdom!It is pointless to think of the lost hours of yesterdays. The way to make learning a lesson a celebration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask, "How can I put this to use tomorrow?"

Discover The SHOCKING Truth About Comp Plans

2005-02-20T15:36:00.000-05:00

Most People in Network Marketing Fail Because Of their Compensation Plan.

We Will Prove This To You This Saturday Evening.

Are you tired of the crazy claims you see out there on the Internet?

Every day, you get hit with hype, hype, hype. Promises of large dollar amounts earned in 90 days or less. All done to get you to jump in on the latest, hottest, opportunity on the Net.

Well, it's time to Stop the Madness.

Have YOU ever had a fulfilling, profitable job or business that didn't FIRST require you to learn how to do it?

Of course not.

The false expectations of the "get-rich-quick" myth cause people to join a company, have little success, and quit. Such programs survive briefly with hype. They ask nothing of you ... they promise everything
... then they deliver NOTHING.

Whether you’re a doctor, a carpenter, a writer, a cook, you first got educated on how to do your job.

Same with a REAL opportunity.

You must know EXACTLY what is expected of you. And then you need legitimate, targeted training in every facet of earning extra income from home.

We believe in educating you correctly on how to do just that.

No, this is not a plug to get you into some deal. We know that if enough people can discover the truth, then they will find the right opportunity.

That is why we offer our trainings at no cost to you.

This week’s training will show you how to evaluate the various compensation plans on the market today. If you are going to do the work, you might as well get paid the most money for your time and effort.

Ever wonder why you have worked hard and looked back and saw it all disappear?

Ever wonder why the Aunt Sally’s and Uncle Joe’s struggle?

Ever wonder who profits the most from some of the compensation plans?

An AWESOME Weekend !

2004-12-20T21:15:00.000-05:00

We went to Tybee Island, GA this past weekend just to get away for a little while. Yes it was cold but not extremely so. ‘Twas a beautiful winters day as we traveled there from Macon Saturday afternoon.. The sun shone gloriously as fluffy white clouds drifted effortlessly across the endless blue sky.
Late Saturday afternoon we strolled down River Street decorated with the timeless stars of the night sky amid buildings of old, decked out for the jolly season with Christmas music enveloping the surroundings.
Sunday morning: What a gorgeous day! Our hotel faces the ocean and we decide to go for a walk on the beach. Few people are out and about in the windy coldness of the early morn. The ocean shimmers beneath a glistening sun. Waves dance playfully upon the shore in sync with the synergy of the Universe.
Alas, we must head back home. It’s been a wonderful and refreshing weekend seasoned with a little saltiness amidst the endlessness of time itself.

Life Is AWESOME!

2004-12-16T21:02:00.000-05:00
