Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center’s Family Medicine Residency Program was named a recipient of a 2010 AAFP Foundation Pfizer Immunization Award
SJRMC’s program was one of ten recognized in the United States. The celebrated residencies achieved excellence in clinical practice by developing creative solutions that resulted in increased immunization rates in their communities.
"This recognition shows the dedication our Family Medicine Residency Program has to all those we serve here everyday”, said Dr. Martin Wieschhaus, Program Director. “This was truly a team effort and reflected an impressive blend of organizational, clinical, and academic skills within a group of high functioning individuals."
Saint Joe Physicians Play Key Role in Haiti Relief Effort
A group of 14 physicians and other healthcare providers carried out a care-giving mission to Haiti in the aftermath of the recent earthquake.
The team was comprised of Emergency Department doctors, doctors specializing in orthopaedics, and general surgeons from Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, as well as other local hospitals and surgery centers.
The group left from South Bend on February 2, 2010 for Sacred Heart Hospital in Northeastern Haiti.
Realizing the hospital’s desperate need for equipment, they arranged to take life-saving equipment for the old Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, including the Autoclave self-sustaining sterilization unit that can sterilize medical instruments much more so than boiling water, which is the current method being used in Haiti.
The team faced this emotionally difficult task with great enthusiasm noting that it was a “once in a lifetime experience”.
Residency Graduate Chief Medical Officer for U.S. Olympic Committee
The United States Olympic Team has a part of Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center representing at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver.
Jim Moeller, MD, (pictured center) is the United States Olympic Committee's Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Moeller was a Resident at SJRMC from 1991 to 1994.
"It's a great honor to be selected by the United States Olympic Committee to serve as Chief Medical Officer," said Dr. Moeller. "I feel the Olympics are the ultimate expression of sport, and I am humbled to be able to be a part of it. But I would not be here if not for the wonderful guidance I received from my instructors and sports medicine mentors at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center."
One of those mentors is Dr. Stephen Simons of SJRMC's Sports Medicine Institute, himself a doctor for the United States Olympic Team in Athens for the 2004 Summer Games.
"Following medical school, Dr. Moeller's education continued as a resident at SJRMC's Family Medicine Residency Program," said Dr. Simons. "During those three years, I had the pleasure to witness Dr. Moeller's training firsthand. He was always energetic, thoughtful, clinically very thorough, and most of all provided insightful and compassionate care. It's no surprise to me to see Dr. Moeller advance through the Olympic Committee's Sports medicine process to achieve its highest honor. We are all very proud of him."
Dr. Moeller has a private practice in Sports Medicine in Auburn Hills, Michigan

1st Year resident, Marin Garcia, MD expressed the following:
" I am impressed with the new hospital layout.
The emergency department is adjacent to imaging and
cardiovascular diagnostics. The NICU is on the same
floor as the labor & delivery and postpartum. Everything
seems efficiently laid out and all in less overall
square footage. Moreover, the latest technology implemented
in the new hospital makes accessibility and the use
of electronic records simple."
"SJRMC's New Mishawaka Hospital will Prompt Major
Medical Growth", states Mishawaka Mayor Jeff Rea.

South Bend cited as No. 1 for bargain home
buying
The median home price in South Bend is $89,000 and "prices
have been rising for almost a year now," real
estate consultant Barbara Corcoran said recently. "Still
the median price is only half of what it is in the
rest of the nation."
The criteria Corcoran used in compiling the list of "top
10 cities for best home bargains" involved identifying
cities across the country that scored best on a National
Association of Realtors report, looking specifically
for areas when median house prices increase, Corcoran's
office said via email. To assess quality of schools
and job growth, Corcoran's researchers used the Web
site www.homefair.com
Congratulations!
