Watch DOGS at SIS
Fifth graders at Sweetwater Intermediate School were taught about series and parallel circuits by Watch
Dog George Hughes. Hughes is an electrician for ATE Asplundh Tree Experts and is helping make a learn-
ing experience come to life. The Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program is in its fifth year at SIS.
Around 100 dads volunteer each year to spend the school day with fourth and fifth graders at the campus.
The dads are the heroes of the hallways as they inspire children, reduce bullying and enhance the educa-
tion environment. Watch D.O.G.S. is an initiative that began with the National Center for Fathering. The
organization states on its website, “The research is clear. Children thrive when they have an involved father
- someone who loves them, knows them, guides them, and helps them achieve their destiny.”

RPMH food bank.
Also included in the report, RPMH has been able to
conduct patient satisfaction surveys through a free,
immediate response program. The survey is on a laptop-
-making it mobile, which allows patients to easily com-
plete if they choose.
Already, 254 responses have been given, with a major-
ity of the feedback noted as positive for several depart-
ments. The real-time data gives the hospital a chance
to praise specific staff as well as learn how to improve
other areas.
In addition, Boatright noted that as open enrollment
for Medicare continues, she hopes to inform citizens
on the facts by offering community education through
a partnership with administration from the hospital in
Perryton.
The hospital is additionally planning an event to
coincide with their upcoming policy to make RPMH
a smoke-free campus starting on January 1, 2013. In
November, the hospital will take part in the Great
American Smokeout.
The event will take the place of the monthly Lunch
and Learn seminar; last month’s seminar was presented
by Dr. Ellen Walthall, who is the new chief of medical
staff.
Walthall was in attendance at the meeting to give the
Medical Staff report to the board, which included an
update on the past seminar held on cancer screenings
and prevention. She also shared that a recent CPSI pre-
sentation was held, which helps with documentations
and enhances physician compliance.

Rosier also noted that the simulator can also be
changed to fit the driver's occupation, such as an ambu-
lance, ladder truck, dump truck or pumper truck. The
selected vehicle will then exhibit the same handling
characteristics as its real-life counterpart.
The course is free and also offers opportunities for
certification. During its stop in Sweetwater, local law
enforcement entities and county workers took part in
the limited program.
