News Releases
Baptist Easley to become new entity...
EASLEY, S.C.—Palmetto Health Baptist Easley hospital, together with the state's two largest healthcare systems, will launch an unprecedented collaboration that will enhance health care in the Upstate in a cost-effective manner by increasing access, improving quality and facilitating the coordination of patient care in the community hospital.
Palmetto Health and Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center (GHS) approved a measure on Tuesday, Jan. 13 that will allow them to create a new entity to own and operate the award-winning 50-year-old Easley community hospital. Through the 50/50 joint venture, the 109-bed hospital presently owned and operated by Palmetto Health, the state's largest health care system headquartered in Columbia, will now also integrate with GHS and its 380-physician Upstate network. Baptist Easley will become a free-standing 501(c) 3 healthcare organization, with an eight-member governing board that will include representatives of the Easley community.
Palmetto Health Baptist Easley COO Roddey E. Gettys III – who will become the new entity's CEO – said he was excited by the prospect. "As a Palmetto Health hospital, we couldn't have a better partner than GHS. The two will help us continue to provide outstanding patient care while broadening the spectrum of high-quality local care available at those kinds of tertiary centers."
The hospital's new name – to be decided later – will certainly retain some form of "Baptist Easley" as part of that name.
"One of the greatest advantages of this joint venture," said Palmetto Health CEO Charles D. Beaman Jr., "is the opportunity to collaborate with Greenville Hospital System. GHS CEO Mike Riordan and I have developed a close working relationship through the S.C. Hospital Association and our roles on the Health Sciences South Carolina board since he arrived more than two years ago. Working together in the Upstate makes the best sense and provides opportunities for an increased level of services for both of our systems."
"In this economically challenging time – where all of us must be particularly vigilant in meeting our financial responsibilities – collaboration makes more sense than ever," concluded Beaman.
GHS President and CEO Michael Riordan agreed. "Through collaboration, hospitals can more effectively manage costs and avoid unnecessary duplication. More important, we can do what we're supposed to do – offer high-quality patient care in the best manner possible. Such innovative collaborations will become even more important nationally and here in South Carolina as we look at reforming the way health care is delivered and paid for."
The proximity of GHS subspecialists will allow Baptist Easley patients to receive more efficient care on complex cases that require sub-specialists not currently available at Baptist Easley. "Many specialty services are already at Baptist Easley. The key here is that it further expands the ability for patients and physicians in Pickens County to take advantage of a strong relationship with the closest tertiary provider," said Riordan.
This initiative increases access to primary, specialty and subspecialty physician care that the new hospital will bring to the community. Easley's 200-physician medical staff will continue with the same rights and privileges they currently enjoy and its employed physicians will have opportunities to work with both Baptist Easley and GHS. Patients also will benefit from clinical integration opportunities that combine the best practices from each of the entities.
One of the initial interests for Baptist Easley will be the development of an outpatient center on Highway 153 in the fast-growing Powdersville community. The proposed DHEC-approved project will be designed and built around ambulatory services to meet the needs of the community.
GHS will pay $45 million for a 50 percent interest in the newly reconstituted Baptist Easley hospital. GHS also will commit to match approximately $4 million currently held by the Baptist Easley Foundation. These contributions are used to support the hospital in its important philanthropic outreach in the community.
Gettys said employees and physicians alike were energized by the prospect of aligning more tightly with long-time neighbor GHS. Baptist Easley's almost 900 employees should not see any changes under the new agreement, which provides for them to continue their current employment with Palmetto Health until such time as the new board would choose to create its own HR function and benefits plan.
"We are excited about this collaborative opportunity with Palmetto Health and Baptist Easley," said GHS board chairperson Frances Ellison. "Our mission calls upon us as trustees to take care of the healthcare needs in our community and also to ensure that we remain financially strong. This collaboration meets both of these fiduciary responsibilities."
"Providing quality care for Pickens County has been this hospital's mission and pledge for fifty years," said Palmetto Health board chairman William L. Cogdill, Jr. "Our decision to continue that proud tradition with our collaborative partners at Greenville Hospital System is one that we believe gives the community the best opportunity for access to the highest level of quality care possible. This great community deserves nothing less. We are proud to continue our commitment to Easley and Pickens County with this new vision."
Palmetto Health Baptist Easley has been the primary service provider in Pickens County for 50 years. In recent years, the hospital has achieved national and statewide recognition for its quality improvement and patient, employee and physician satisfaction ratings.
The hospital was named one of four hospitals in America to receive the prestigious Premier Orthopaedic Award for Hip and Knee Replacement in 2006. In addition, it was the only hospital in the country to receive the acclaimed "Fire Starter" award twice from The Studer Group, the national healthcare service consulting firm. In 2008, Easley received the South Carolina Governor's Quality Award, which recognizes organizations for developing, implementing and deploying quality management systems based on the national Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award criteria.

Great Boots for High Instep Feet
By KT22Mike
from Olympic Valley CA
About Me Expert
Comments about Atomic Hawx 120 Ski Boots 2013:
The boots ski great. They are perfect for someone that has high insteps that can also be used with custom insoles. I checked out virtually every brand to find a boot that I could get into (those with high insteps will know what I am talking about). I like a tight upper boot and only looked at 4 buckle boots. Just didn't think the new 3 buckle boots would work for me.At first I thought the I-flex on both sides of the boot was a gimmick - but gosh darn if it doesn't work! I ski about 100 days a year at Squaw Valley and pretty much stay on the steep trails (Chute, Split Tree, Slot etc). I was amazed on how much edge control these boots provide and I have to contribute it to the I-flex inserts. I turn quicker and with more control on the steeps. I just hope the inserts don't affect boot longevity (my last boots lasted 6 years).Boots are very comfortable and there is no pain or hot spots after 5-6 hours of daily skiing. I contribute this to the fact that you can heat up the liners for a perfect fit. My boot fitter added a small piece of liner on the top of my foot during the heat fit process to give me a bit more space in the liner - and this really helped on the fit comfort.I usually don't provide good product reviews but I am so pleased with these boots - I had to submit this. It took me a while to find a boot given my foot configuration - so I figured I would help out guys with similar foot/fit issues. Enjoy
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice change from race boots
By Nathan
from Boston, MA
Took these out today for a typical new england opening day: crummy snow, warm weather, and snow guns everywhere.Before these I had nordica doberman's but since I was done race now i wanted a little more comfort.I measured my foot with a ruler and followed the size guide from that and the length seems perfect.The fit was great, they held onto my heel very well. I put my footbeds in for better arch support and wasnt too squeezed on top of the foot. Being able to wiggle your toes a little as I'm skiing is something I havent felt in a long time and it was great. I stayed out the full first day without needing to break them in at all.Things I didnt know before I bought them:1. there's a double rubber seal between the two bottom flaps to keep snow and water out when you buckle them down that I was pretty impressed with. It worked well against the snowguns.2. I was disappointed to see that the top strap is held on by rivets, so it will not be easy to replace with my Booster strap. Would have taken half a star for this if I could.
Great fit

About Me Intermediate
I am a snowboarder. Decided to go skiing because my kids, age 11 and 9, are now faster than me on black runs with skis. Went to a local shop in late March looking for a pair of ski boots. Due to low inventory, I was fitted with Diabello's iL Motto. It's a great freestyle boot. However, my wife hates the color scheme. My daughter ran away as soon as she saw it. My son's ski coach could not stop laughing when he saw it. Had it returned within the hour. Went online and got this boots instead. I was measured 99mm, medium bulk, US 7.5 foot size. Mondo 25.5. I usually wear size 8.5 snowboard boots and size 9 running shoes. Atomic Hawx is 100mm wide, medium bulk. Tried it on at home. Left foot is snug fit. No problem. Right navicular region was uncomfortable. After spending an hour wearing it inside the house, the discomfort subsided. Spent another hour two days later indoor to get the boots adjusted to my foot shape. On 3/31/24, powder day in Truckee with over a foot of snow overnight, I went skiing at Alpine Meadows. Boots perform great. Very comfortable and able to give me great control on both groom, first track, and bumps. My old ski boots were 27.5. They really hurt. These new boots offer snug fit. While heavier than my snowboard boots, the 120 flex is about right for me. I like to carve on snowboard and rides with stiff snowboard boots. Coming from a person who is used to snowboarder shoes, I am surprised how comfortable these boots are.
Epic connection to my skis
By John M
from Seattle, WA
After a trip to the evo store in Seattle, and an excellent meeting with boot fit wizard Greg, I found these (last year's model) at the Outlet store. Greg got the fit right and these boots are now dialed in allowing me to have perfect control over my skis. I didn't give 5-stars, 'cause there is always room for improvement, but these boots are as close as I can get to perfect for me.You won't go wrong with evo.com, especially if you have access to Greg in Seattle.
Great all around boot
By KB Downhill
from Charlotte, NC
About Me Advanced
Fits like its supposed to. I have one foot a little bigger than the other so it was a little work getting he wider foot to fit comfortably.
Great product, price, and service
By mfs
from Washington DC
Great price and service. The quality of the boot seems great, good fit and features. So far have only been able to put to the test of walking around carpet in basement. Looking forward to snow trials.

12/08/2012 – The women's basketball team extended their winning streak to three games as the Saints recorded a home victory over Marygrove. The victory improved Aquinas' record to 7-4 on the season and to 4-2 in the WHAC, while the Mustangs fell to 1-9 overall and to 0-6 in league play.
The Saints, who are currently tied with Siena Heights and Madonna for third place in the WHAC, dominated all facets of today's game. Aquinas turned 33 Marygrove turnovers into 31 points and controlled the paint by out scoring the Mustangs 40-20.
A balanced attack was spearheaded by Shelby Carter who tallied a double-double with 16 points and eleven rebounds. Carter's play enabled the Saints to turn a 12-point (32-20) halftime lead into a 83-48 runaway. Clare Conway chipped in with 15 points, while Allison Heberlein scored 14. Aquinas out shot the Mustangs 42%-33% from the field and converted ten more free throws than their opponents from Detroit. Keara Marks led all scores with 21 points in the defeat.
The Saints will stay at home and host Kalamazoo College (0-6) on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in a non-league affair.

Rev. Irene Monroe: Because of the bleaching of the Stonewall Riots, the beginnings of LGBTQ movement post-Stonewall is an appropriation of a black, brown, trans, and queer liberation narrative.
