It's a special Operation Santa to benefit the Tampa General Hospital Children's Medical Center! Won't you help us ensure that Santa's special delivery makes it down the chimney for our pediatric patients this Christmas?
According to Jermiah Williams, age 6, being in the hospital when you are sick feels, "UNBELIEVABLE!" Jermiah has spent three Christmases at TGH Children's Medical Center. He has assured us that being in the hospital during Christmas is "ONLY FUN WHEN SANTA IS HERE!"
While it is our TGH physicians' and nurses' top priority to get the children well and on their way home, with 52 beds in private and semi-private rooms, last year alone more than 20 children were still too ill to go home for the holidays. Each year we do our best to provide a holiday party and gifts for the sickest of our little patients.
But the happiest day is still the day when a child gets to go home for the holidays, because that's where we want all of our littlest patients to be! Whether it's a holiday, a birthday or a special occasion, Operation Santa helps to fill the toy closet year-round and provides a toy, a card and a smile when it's most needed.
Please consider making a special gift to the TGH Children's Medical Center this holiday season. Your gift will make a difference by allowing us to purchase items from the Children's Wish List and ensure that Santa makes his special visit to the children this year!
Donate new items from the Children's Wish List! Visit our website and contact the Foundation at 813-844-8217 for delivery arrangements.
Join Jermiah on his mission to make this Christmas FUN by making a gift this holiday season. Your gift will ensure that Santa and his sleigh make a stop at the TGH Children's Medical Center!

“Congratulations, Debbie. That’s great! Are you squeamish?” my brother, Mike, asked when I phoned him to share the exciting news about being invited to be a part of the June 2011 White Coat Internship Program at Tampa General Hospital. “I don’t know” I replied. Hmmmm…I first phoned my husband with the news and promptly called him right back after closing out with Mike. “Am I squeamish, honey?” I asked, hoping his reply would be “Of course not”, and yet my husband’s response was “I don’t know, are you squeamish?”. Yikes…what does this mean? First I was just excited about being considered, and then I was eager about a white coat with my name on it, then it hit me how detailed my learning of Tampa General would be, and finally this…I was focused on the all-consuming, ever-daunting “squeam factor”!!
Like any professional, I planned for my upcoming event. I assessed what looked best with white lab coats, Googled Tampa General Hospital, read articles, “liked” Tampa General Hospital’s page, as well as that of the Tampa General Hospital Foundation on Facebook, and started my imagination on overdrive about how fabulous this experience would be. I requested internal medicine, cardiology or gynecology (with an ever-so-polite comment of “Not OB – no babies, please!), and really would have been thrilled with any discipline. The idea of someone making time to let me shadow his or her day was super enough…I’ll go anywhere, see anything. But, that question lingered…was I squeamish. I started watching medical procedures on TV through slightly parted fingers. Uh-oh, is this what squeamish starts like?
And then, the letter came, and I learned I was going to have the honor of partnering with Dr. J. T. Sullebarger who not only had experience in internal medicine, but who is board certified in cardiology. Oh wow! Of course I searched for Dr. Sulley, as many call him. I found a few different Dr. Sullebargers, and realized the person who I was going to get to meet was pretty special. A devoted husband, practice lead, father and doctor who regularly travels outside the US for his foundation to assist in other countries with procedures that are not available there. How would I contain my questions? How many hours would he let me spend with him?
At the Monday night reception, with my husband, eagerly by my side, I started feeling both excited and nervous, as many of the other 16 interns met their matches, their doctors. What if Dr. Sullebarger Googled me and decided to pass on letting me shadow him? What if he forgot about me? I’ll keep smiling. I am happy for everyone else, and if it is not my time, that’s okay. What an honor. Those last few positive thoughts filled my mind, and I was genuinely grateful just to be included. And then he came in. Mandelyn, Caitlin and the team from the Tampa General Hospital Foundation, who are equally as bubbly as they are prepared, swept Dr. Sullebarger in my direction, and I knew he hadn’t passed on me or forgotten about me. Turns out, he isn’t even typically in the hospital on Mondays, so he made a special trip in to say hello before our Tuesday “day together” would begin. With excitement in my bones, energy in my soul, and a white coat on my body, I left wondering if, not how I could sleep that night. I decided to finally remove the white coat with “Debbie Lundberg” beautifully monogramed on it, and hit the hay, so to speak. Right before my goodnight kiss with my husband, I asked Michael one more time “Am I squeamish, honey?”, and this time, he said “I really don’t think you are squeamish. Sleep tight. You’ll do great!” I felt much better then.
Fresh from a sound and restful night, I worked out, had breakfast and put on comfy clothes and sneakers. At the light at MacDill and Bay to Bay, I took off the white coat. I felt a little fraudulent…as though someone was going to spot me, call for a doctor and think I was ignoring them, when really the amazing coat was only a prop for a day that I could have never imagined was about to unfold.
With the white coat off my body and in my hand, I valeted my car and there was Mandelyn with a huge smile to greet me. From the “scrubs vending machine” (so cool!) my day’s attire was released, I changed, and there was Dr. Sullebarger – coffee in one hand, a sheet or two of paper in the other, with a welcome, smile and handshake that almost got my mind off being squeamish…almost!
After meeting Marley (a Tampa General Hospital Nurse Practitioner) and going on rounds, I felt like I was walking on a cloud (a fast-moving cloud, but a cloud nonetheless). These patients and their families were so relieved to see Dr. Sullebarger (and even me!), and I was introduced, and then the few minutes with them discussing things like stints and valves, procedures and recovery began. People shook our hands and thanked us for coming in to see them. No squeamishness…nice!
David and Pete at the Cath lab couldn’t have been more welcoming. We chatted and Dr. Sullebarger checked schedules and planned our day fully. He had a scheduled Electronic Medical Records training for the latter part of the day, but he’d get me “something sexy” for the afternoon. I thought that sounded great. “Sexy”, that can’t evoke squeamishness, right?
Viewing of medical records and electronic images went by quickly, and with Dr. Tom’s (It’s John Thomas, and he goes by Tom) expertise and guidance, I felt equipped to know what a heart is supposed to look like and how it is supposed to act, and that when I was going to observe, I’d be fairly well-prepared.
With some borrowed “lead” from Ingrid (to protect me from radiation) from neck to knees, two different procedures in two different rooms were done before my eyes…within a few feet of me. I even scrubbed in for one in a room that was covered in sheets and ready to be bleached following the procedure, as the patient had something similar to MRSA. We spoke to a family member right after the procedure and she was relieved. We ate a delicious and fast lunch with Millie in the Doctor’s lounge. Dr. Sullebarger got a call. Blood pressure was dropping in one of the patients…the one we had been able to speak with his family after. Off we went. The patient was fine and reassured after speaking with his surgeon, my buddy, Dr. Sulley.
Dr. Sullebarger had to go to the training now. Was my day done? If so, it was amazing. So informative, and I wasn’t even squeamish – yay Dr. Sulley, yay Debbie! Each team member at Tampa General had been polite and even personable on many counts. Their experience and expertise show through. I’d had a bird’s-eye view of things with memories for days!
But wait, there’s more! Dr. Sullebarger saw there were transplants scheduled, and with a call to the dynamic and ever-ready Mandelyn, I was in the room with a young patient whose body was cut east-to-west, and her entire cavity pried opened to remove her bad lungs. The good lungs were on ice. I stood as close to the patient as I am to my windshield when driving. I held my breath. I was thankful for my lungs each time I did actually exhale. After the right lung was in (which was the first lung), the surgical staff nurse asked if I wanted to get the stool with my foot (touch nothing blue ever anywhere in a hospital!) and come in closer. Without even thinking, I said “yes, thanks”, swooped the stool over, and within seconds, I was standing directly over the patient and watching the Fellow begin to remove the second, left, more difficult (because of the proximity to the heart) lung. It was awe-inspiring and so magical and even beautiful. When I stepped down, I was crying. After apologizing for the tears, Mandelyn reassured me that it would be odd if I weren’t moved by such a seemingly miraculous experience. After less than three hours, and two white, gorgeous lungs replacing dark, small lungs, I left the room with the energy of 10 and the knowledge from so many who were kind enough to share so much, like Nick Martini, who took the time to explain transplants, machinery and so much more!
If that wasn’t enough (and with gratitude, it was!), I also go to see the final stages of a liver transplant as well as the pain from sciatica being alleviated with only the third procedure being done by the surgeon with the new titanium screw that was being put in, packed in bone, and left to assist the patient with motion for the rest of his life.
Nearly overwhelmed with the experience, the shear awe, and my appreciation, it was time to leave TGH and change out of my scrubs and into my street clothes. (I would have happily bought those scrubs for a souvenir and to give back to the Foundation.) One more time through, I quickly and sincerely thanked most everyone who had touched my day with a smile, some lead, a kind look, and information, and headed back to the valet.
Did that just happen? I called my husband while waiting for my car. I had been posting on Facebook and sending him a few photos during the day. (I especially like the one the TGH photographer, Mike took of Dr. Sulley and me – thanks so much, Mike!), but had not even stopped to engage otherwise. He was so happy for me. We closed the conversation. A woman asked me, the person in the sneakers and white coat for directions to the pharmacy. I assisted getting her to someone who actually knew where the pharmacy was, sheepishly took of the white coat, and went back to being me, a grateful author, speaker and coach.
And now, with everything I got the opportunity to see, do and experience, I can proudly say “No, I am not squeamish!!”
“I am a single father, unexpected expenses can be rough. Paying two insurance deductibles when you’re rear ended by an uninsured motorist and pushed into someone else, well that is a catastrophe. I came to a dilemma, pay the $2,000 in deductibles and get behind on my car payment, or lose even more time from work. It may not seem like much to some, but the $500 I received in a time of need was more than I asked for, and a large sigh of relief for my small family. I was shown the upmost respect by the human resource staff. My dignity was left intact. My pride not injured. It was a pleasure to make my seemingly menial donation to the fund this year, and even more to say thank you to my TGH family.” My deepest appreciation, from an employee who received assistance from the Employee Emergency Fund.
The 2011 Employee Campaign to Help Us Help Each Other has broken all previous records with $313,844 in total funds raised! The 2011 Employee Campaign has showcased the real winners, our family of Tampa General Hospital employees who have inspired one another to give; each of you who contributed this year has ensured that the Employee Emergency Fund will be available when your fellow employees need it the most!
As the featured fund for this year’s campaign to “Help Us Help Each Other,” more than $203,000 was raised in this year’s campaign for the Employee Emergency Fund. More than $54,000 was raised for the Fund for the Future, which supports the hospital’s greatest needs, and the third featured fund for Pastoral Care raised more than $11,000. The remainder was split among other designated funds.
The hospital-wide participation goal was also surpassed with 37.5% hospital-wide participation in the campaign. More than 2500 employees made a gift to the campaign, and approximately one-third of the donors to this year’s employee campaign donated for the first time. More than $266,500 was donated through cash, checks, and payroll deductions with an average dollar gift of almost $120, and almost $50,000 was donated in ATO or vacation hours with an average of 5.8 hours donated.
With departmental participation a key focus of this year’s campaign, almost 100 employee ambassadors championed the employee campaign in their area and encouraged donations. A special thank you to all the employee ambassadors who served this year and shared the campaign with your colleagues! The results were tremendous: 126 departments achieved greater than 35% departmental participation; 103 departments achieved greater than 50% participation; 65 departments surpassed 75% or greater participation, and 35 departments achieved 100% participation.
For the first year in the employee campaign’s history, all 200 members of the Leadership Team, managers, directors, vice presidents and senior vice presidents, made a contribution to the campaign achieving 100 percent participation and combining to contribute more $100,000 as a team.
Thank you to our family of Tampa General Hospital employees who made this year’s employee campaign a record-breaking success! Employee giving over the past two years has grown tremendously to more than half a million dollars raised in the 2010 and 2011 Employee Campaigns. As the featured fund for both employee campaigns, the Employee Emergency Fund provides limited financial assistance to eligible employees in need due to a personal emergency for which they have exhausted all other resources. For more information about assistance through the Employee Emergency Fund, visit the Employee Portal or contact Human Resources.
"The Employee Emergency Fund is an opportunity for employees who need immediate assistance an opportunity to request financial assistance in times of personal vulnerability. My personal story provides a shared request for financial assistance when a family member unexpectedly passed away leaving behind a child to be cared for. Due to the unforeseen circumstances of the death and the cost of the funeral arrangements, which were subsidized by myself and husband, we fell behind on our mortgage payment. Once I returned to work, the Employee Emergency Fund came to mind for a possible avenue of assistance. I immediately applied and was contacted within a week to provide the great news that the request for assistance had been fulfilled. Hearing this news was such a relief and blessing to my family knowing we could focus our attention on our family during a time of great emotional stress and grief.” From a recipient of Employee Emergency Fund assistance who requested to remain anonymous.

A special group of business, community leaders and donors are reporting for their orientation on Monday, June 6, to experience an invitation-only, one-of-a-kind opportunity: the June 2011 White Coat Mini-Internship Program at Tampa General Hospital!
Class of March 2011 Tampa General Hospital White Coat Mini-Internship Program
Each class is unique, and every intern's experience is one-of-a-kind, but what is timeless about every program is its ability to create ambassadors and forge a much deeper relationship with our award-winning hospital! The White Coat Mini-Internship Program provides a very personal, perspective on medical care … maybe even a new perspective on “life” as many of our past White Coat interns have attested!
To launch the June 2011 White Coat Intern Experience on Facebook, check out some of our favorite stories from previous classes!
Andrew Corty, Publisher of Florida Trend, succinctly described his experience at Tampa General Hospital with Dr. Harry van Loveren, by saying "You will be impressed in ways that are hard to measure." His column in May's issue of Florida Trend features his experience and TGH . (A log-in is required to view.)
"I was gripped by the experience of White Coat. I can’t shake the thoughts I had and the memory of things I saw. Nor do I want to. The only other time I have felt this affected was when my father died," Nancy said.
We hope you'll enjoy next week's White Coat Intern Experience on Facebook as we share videos, pictures and updates, all that this once in a lifetime opportunity entails!
And finally, Richard Gonzmart, Class of June 2009 and owner of the famous Columbia Restaurant, was our first white coat intern to share his experience on youtube to kickoff the White Coat Intern Experience!
