She served some 12 years as director of development for Salisbury University (SU) and assistant director of the Salisbury University Foundation. In that capacity, she facilitated numerous landmark grants for the institution, including funding to name the building housing the Perdue School of Business, establishing the university’s largest scholarship program, led the creation of the institution’s planned giving program, and managed all programming efforts and events of the SU Foundation. For the past three years, Nechay served as the managing director of Cherrywalk Consulting LLC, a firm that focuses on serving the needs of non-profit organizations on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. sioned BEACON, a division of Salisbury University, to make a study of the center with recommendations. Using the study as a guide, the board will be making plans for the new leadership. Nursery Services Modified SALISBURY – Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC), at the request of the state of Maryland, has modified its nursery services from a Level 3A status as a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and will now operate as a Level 2B Special Care Nursery. Although PRMC’s neonatal outcomes exceed national benchmarks, at this point, the patient volume necessary to sustain a Level 3A NICU doesn’t exist. The state is looking to centralize NICU care for the most complex patients to specialized institutions in the Baltimore and Washington, DC area that are sufficiently positioned with the necessary access to specialists and subspecialists to provide that care. The change to a Level 2B Special Care Nursery will still allow PRMC to continue caring for and treating premature newborns who are over 32 weeks gestation and more than 1,500 grams in weight. On average, fewer than 35 of the 2,000 babies born at PRMC each year are below this threshold and require transfer to another institution. “New standards would require PRMC to have maternal fetal medicine (MFM) physicians in house within 30 minutes to retain our NICU status, and we examined very closely what it would take for us to meet those standards,” said C.B. Silvia, MD, Vice President of Medical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer at PRMC. “But in the end, given that there are a very limited number of those specialists in the nation – with most practicing at academic centers – and with our volumes under 35 newborns annually who require that level of specialized care, it would be extremely difficult and probably impossible for PRMC to attract and retain a total of three MFM specialists needed to staff the unit around the clock, seven days a week.” PRMC has transfer plans and agreements already in place with hospitals in the Baltimore/Washington area to ensure the continued safe care for mothers who may require a premature delivery at less than 32 weeks gestation, and for those babies who are born here at less than 32 weeks gestation and under 1,500 grams. PRMC understands that transfer could be a hardship on these few families, and is committed to assisting them to make the transition as smooth and as comfortable as possible. PRMC is working to build volumes, and remains dedicated to providing the best care for mothers and premature newborns whether they remain in the hospital’s Special Care Nursery or require transfer to another facility. 410-524-1000 • ON THE BEACH AT 118TH ST.
