New Provider Starts At MCMC

27 Jan 2022 Events, News

Another provider has joined the staff at the Mountrail County Medical Center this month in the clinic. Brittany Haugtvedt, FNP started on Monday, Jan. 17. She will be seeing patients Tuesday through Friday at the clinic.

Growing up in Beach, ND, she received her undergraduate degree at the University of Mary and her graduate degree at UND. She worked for five years at the Minot Health Clinic and was a nurse there as well.

She says that she chose to become an FNP because she wanted something better for her family. When she was accepted into the program, she found that it was a way for her to offer a different approach to finding the cause of diseases in her patients and assist them to improve their lives.

She will be working in the clinic seeing family practice patients. She says that her favorite thing is to help patients find the root cause for their illness or disease and help focus on wellness.

She says that her focus will primarily be patients twelve and older, although she looks forward to helping all patients.

She will be bringing different testings and treatments to the table with her practice. That includes advance hormone testing, food sensitivity testing, and gene sight testing which helps find what medicines work best when treating patients with conditions like anxiety and depression. MTHFR testing looks for gene mutations in patients that lead to conditions. She will also be offering advanced stool testing, thyroid management, and male and female bioidentical hormone replacement management as well as 3×4 genetic testing.

In the future, she also hopes to bring PRP, or plasma rich protein, treatments to the practice. PRP is a process of drawing blood from a patient and then spinning it down to pull off the plasma. This has benefits for patients in joint injections to help with cellular regeneration. It is also used for “vampire facials”, a process using micro needling and plasma regeneration. She says that PRP is also beneficial in sports injuries instead of steroids. It helps create regeneration in the body, often allowing it to heal internally and prolong the need for surgery.

She says that she looks forward to offering modern or functional medicine that focusses on the use of supplements, rather than just medication to help patients promote their health and wellness.

In the future, she also hopes to offer sclerotherapy for spider vein treatment for patients. This process helps decrease the appearance or erase those spider veins.

About her move to MCMC, Haugtvedt says that the facility has welcomed her with open arms. The change, she says, will allow her to better her family life by providing her with more family time. While she was not expecting to make the change, she says it all came together and presented her with an opportunity she  was interested in. She wanted more time at home, and even with the time spent on the road, it will even out and be a much better fit for her family.

She also says that she looks forward to meeting new patients and helping them find their inner wellness. She loves what she does. That includes helping patients find the complex answers to change their lives as they deal with illness. Getting to the root problem is important to a positive outcome.

Haugtvedt lives in Burlington with her husband, Chad, who works for BNSF. They have three children ages eleven, ten and nine. Her hobbies include spending time with her family and anything outdoors including hunting, camping and fishing. She enjoys cooking and also repurposing items. She used to have a business called Sweet Repeats that was based on repurposing  items, but now she says she does it just for fun.

“We are excited to have Brittany join our family at MCHC. We originally interviewed Brittany for the ER position we had available. We enjoyed her energy and willingness to learn more for that position. So we had to figure out a way to bring her to MCMC! We love the new services she can offer for our clinic,” said Steph Everett, Administrator/CEO/Foundation Director/PR and Marketing Director Mountrail Bethel Home/Mountrail County Medical Center/Mountrail County Health Foundation.

Mountrail County Health Center Drive Through Testing Draws A Crowd

13 May 2020 Events, News

Mountrail County Health Center in Stanley hosted a Drive Through COVID-19 testing event on Friday, Apr. 24. Testing started at 10:00 a.m. and ran through 2:00 p.m. although the lineup of vehicles of those waiting to be tested started more than an hour before.

Testing was organized through staging using the Stanley High School parking lot. Those looking to be tested were asked to report to the High School where they were assigned a number to their car. Mountrail County Sheriff Corey Bristol and several of the department officers, Mountrail County Emergency Manager Warren Bogert along with the Highway Patrol were at the school to coordinate that portion of the event.

When told by Health Center staff, they would then send a set number of vehicles down 8th Avenue towards the hospital. Along the way, intersections were being controlled by members of the Stanley Public Works and Stanley Police Department to assure smooth movement of not only those who were waiting to be tested, but also those cars that were just trying to go from one area of the city to another.

At the Health Center, they were met by staff with the information forms prior to testing. They then moved along the driveway area on the east side of the complex for testing. Tests were administered by staff and then brought back into the “command center” where they were documented and packaged for transport to the State Lab for testing.

The Health Center was grateful to all that helped make the testing a success, saying they could not have successfully done this test without coordination and manpower from the Stanley Police Department, Mountrail County Sheriff’s office, Stanley Public Works, and the Highway Patrol. They kept everything moving as smoothly as possible, without clogging up city streets with traffic, and that was no small feat. People participating were in awe of the teamwork as they drove from the staging area and down 8th Avenue to MCHC.

Additional thanks went to Marilyn Gaebe, who provided a delicious lunch for staff and kept them energized for the entire day. They appreciated Estvold Oilfield Services, specifically Jake and Kelsey, for allowing them to use their coolers to safely transport tests from Stanley to Bismarck testing labs and the “best COVID-19 courier in the state” Rodney Essler.

They also expressed their thanks to the community saying, “We would not try to offer these testing services if we did not think that people would show up to be tested, and our community SHOWED UP! It was a steady stream of cars the entire four hours.”

Last but not least, they expressed a personal thank you to the staff of the Mountrail County Health Center. From traffic control, to gathering information from each test subject, to registering each test subject, and properly marking each test to the Providers performing the swabs, and then our lab processing each test from 10:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and to everyone inside the building allowing business to proceed as usual. This was pointed out as teamwork at its ultimate finest.

In the span of a little over 4 hours, the Mountrail County Health Center staff were able to test 189 vehicles, totaling 357 tests that included residents from throughout the county and a few out of county residents. “Thank you to everyone who came to get tested so we can gather more data about how this virus is impacting our community and to start working on getting North Dakota open again,” they said.

The drive through testing helped support Governor Doug Burgum’s goal of increasing testing to start the work on smartly reopening the state.

This testing clinic was a group effort between administration and providers.

Additionally, per direction of the state, the facility is also testing all of their residents and employees starting last week and continuing on Monday.

As of Monday morning, tests completed in Mountrail County had increased from 524 on Friday to 892 on Monday. One new positive was recorded on Monday, up from the cumulative 33 since the first tests administered in the county. That new positive is part of the testing done on Friday and is a case from New Town. Of the 892 tests recorded in the county thus far, 858 have returned negative. Not all of Friday’s test results were included in Monday’s numbers.

Women’s Health Expo Held

13 May 2020 Events, News

Mountrail County Medical Center and the Mountrail County Health Foundation held their third annual Healthy Women’s Expo at Rosen Place on 8th in Stanley on Monday, March 9th.  The even had focused on healthy heart the past two years, but focused on “Healthy Mind for a Healthy You” this year.  There were several booths set up to coincide with the theme of achieving health from the inside out, a variety of salads catered by Marilyn Gaebe and desserts from Cookies for You and Little Heifer Bakery.  Booths included information from the Ina Mae Ruse Aquatic Center, nursing staff performing blood pressure and A1C testing, information on mammograms, healthy eating, BMI testing, and mental health checks.

As part of the Community Health Implementation Plan, a formal Response to the Needs Assessment, Mountrail County Medical Center pledged to place a high priority on mental health, and to assist community members get the help they need.  With statistics showing the number of Americans that die by suicide daily and the suicide rate in ND, the focus changed for this year’s event to mental health and suicide prevention.

Stephanie Everett, MCMC CEO and Foundation Director stated, “We can no longer allow the mental health struggles of our community to go unchecked.  We know that with mental health, each day, each moment counts, and Medical Center Staff need to get proactive and build resources to be a part of the solution.”  At MCMC, the ultimate goal is to transform the community by encouraging confident communication about mental health so residents know how, where, and when to ask for help.  They want to reach people before they enter a state of crisis mentally, and to encourage growth of coping skills as well as decrease stigma.

This year’s speakers started with Alison Traynor.  A licensed social worker, she has spent the past five years working to mobilize statewide suicide prevention efforts as the Director of Suicide Prevention and founding member of ND Suicide Prevention Coalition.  She started out with their “Swear Jar”.  Many are familiar with the premise of paying a fine to the jar.  This jar is a symbol to change the stigma one word at a time.  In their case, it is the word “committed”.  The goal is to quit using the word when it comes to suicide, much in the way efforts were underway to quit using the word “retarded”.  She says that we need to think that the word committed is used in cases like sin or crime, and that we need to change the culture with suicide, focusing instead on the person that is suffering.

She also talked about the need to work together to prevent suicide, invest in suicide together and work together to solve the complex problems.  She compared talking about the junk drawer.  We tend to shove suicide into the emotional junk drawer.  We need to open the drawer and explore and talk about the feelings and emotions that go along with suicide.

In North Dakota, the suicide rate is among the highest in the nation.  It cuts across all age groups, with the highest increase in those aged 25-34.  Relationship loss is the most common cause of suicide, followed by a crisis event.  When people are distressed, it can exceed their ability to cope.  They experience a perceived sense of isolation and their sense of being a burden increases.

To help combat suicide, she has worked to found Zero Suicide, a healthcare based system.  The belief is that with help, there is hope as they build a coalition.  It shifts from a person to a system approach.  Statistics show that 45% of suicides will have visited a primary care provider within a month.  30% will have seen a mental health professional, 40% will have had an ER visit in the year before their death.

Zero Suicide involves leadership, system wide, to create a culture change, provide training, help identify those at risk, and engage those in treatment and transitioning of care.  It also looks at policies and procedures to get the help to those that need it.

They find that statistics show that by implementing a system wide effort, fewer patients will die, there will be decreasing costs and improved morale.

Traynor says that it is important to watch out for the warning signs, including those changes in behavior, speech or mood that have you worried.  Be willing to talk about those feelings, including thoughts of killing themselves, feeling hopeless, being a burden, feeling trapped or in unbearable pain.  Watch for uncharacteristic behavior changes, especially if they are related to a painful event, loss, or change.  They could include increased use of alcohol or drugs, looking for ways to end their life, withdrawing from activities, isolating from family or friends, sleeping too much or too little, visiting or calling people to say goodbye, giving away valued possessions, aggression or fatigue.

Watch for mood changes like depression, anxiety, loss of interest, irritability, humiliation, agitation, or even a sudden relief.  If you are worried and think there is a suicide risk, act.  Everything else can wait.  Traynor discussed ways to ask or talk to someone you are concerned about.  They include finding someone comfortable to ask those questions if it is not you.  Normalize the conversation by saying something validating and then ask the question.  Express understanding that they might be struggling after a certain event.  She said to be persistent, but warm and present.  Allow them to talk freely without judgement, rather listen and be present.  Give them plenty of time to talk, and then make sure you can point them toward resources that can help.

She says that it is a five step plan: ask, keep them safe, be there, help them connect, and then follow up.

Those struggling are helped by connections, relationships, helping with coping and life skills, family, faith, and community.  With a person at risk they also discuss safety planning.  That includes walking the person at risk through the steps of coping, recognize what has set them off, validate the ways they have gotten through hard times before, and provide strategies to help.  It can include people they can reach out to for help, following up with clinicians and making sure the return place is safe. Suicide is complex.  It needs a community and system approach to find the answers.

The second speaker of the night was Kora Dockter, a nurse and ND Suicide Prevention Coalition Chair.  She is leading a statewide call for healthcare system-wide improvement.

She brings her own story of losing her adult son Steven to suicide.  She remembers the day in February of 2014.  A sunny, cold day, she was driving.  When her vehicle veered off the road and hit a curb, she says an energy went through her that scared her.  She found out later that moment was when her son died by suicide.

She says that her son was married, a great husband, dad, and medical provider.  He had a strong Christian Faith.  In September of 2013, Kora received a call from his wife, telling her Steven was struggling and had attempted to take his own life.

Kora says she was scared, paralyzed, and not sure how to help him.  He didn’t want people to know he was suffering, but looking back there were signs and symptoms.  Following his attempt, Steven was hospitalized.  After three days, he called her and said he was being discharged.  Based on how he had just been the day before, she was surprised to say the least.  She went to pick him up, expecting to talk about a discharge plan, but instead he walked out with his phone and a piece of paper.  She says she knew that was not right, but did not realize how broken the mental health system was.  She says that upon his discharge she was told “the place did him more harm than good”.  She realized that over time, they were watching him die.  He had lost weight.  He was not sleeping, and he was in a great deal of pain.  This is a silent and lonely disease.  Most people do not want to talk about mental health, unlike other health issues.  Without support, that won’t change.

A couple of years after his death, Dockter asked for her son’s medical record.  She said the red flags were everywhere once she started reading through them.  It talked about strong family support, although at the time, no one told them how to help him.  It mentioned team meetings and family conferences that did not happen and lacked a safety plan.  She says the biggest mistake was trusting someone else to care for her son.  The system needs to change.

With Zero Suicide, they are working on these changes.  They are working with insurance companies to address reimbursement.  They are talking about the facts that if things are not working right with the brain, the body is also affected.  Dockter also talked about her faith, saying that after the flood of 2011, she sought God again. Little did she know that as she was going through those difficult times, that god was actually preparing her for the time she would bury her child.  She points to that faith as well as she works to change the system.

She says that we are all being pushed to change someone’s life and make a difference.  You are more likely to come across someone that is depressed that someone that needs CPR.  Show them your light, life, and passion.  Help them realize that all life is worth living.  Suicide is a disease that does not discriminate by your race, age, or what you make.  All are at risk.  It is important to create an environment where it is okay to talk about it.  Don’t place judgement and don’t wait.  Tell someone who can make a difference to put the puzzle pieces in place before it is too late.

You can be part of the change.  You can find them on Facebook: ND Suicide Prevention Coalition.  Dockter left the group with the message, “It takes a village to raise a child, and a bigger village to save a child.  Create a village around those that are hurting.”

Those attending were given an insulated cup to take home.  In the cup was a card with the semicolon and a cross.  The message on the card read: “We use the semicolon in writing when we join together two closely related sentences.  The first part of the sentence could be a complete thought on it’s own, however, the writer decided to keep the sentence going.  In the context of mental health, the sentence is your life.  The semicolon represents the decision to continue living, and is a reminder that you have complete power over yourself and your life.  You are the author of your story.  You can choose to keep up the fight, even if there are days were you feel like giving up.  It is a symbol of strength and hope.
