Hollister's Secure Start Newsletter

The Fall 2011 issue of the Hollister Secure Start newsletter is now available! In this issue of the digital newsletter you’ll find articles like these…

90 Years Strong
Hollister Celebrates 90 Years of Improving Quality of Life
It’s our 90th anniversary and we’re celebrating you, because you’re the one who helped make us the company we are today. By telling us what you need, letting us know what works and what doesn’t, and taking us along on your journey.

Personal Profile
All Boy
Jacob Rhodes gets into anything and everything after colostomy surgery.
He belly flops on the couch, plays tirelessly with his friends at daycare, and runs in the sand. He’s a typical three-year-old, thanks to a colostomy and his Hollister New Image closed mini pouch. Jacob was born without an anus and had recently undergone constructive surgery when Charity and Robert Rhodes adopted him from China.

Secure Start Book Club
Living Well with an Ostomy
By Elizabeth Rayson
If you have an ostomy, you know that the practical aspects of ostomy care are just a fraction of your concerns. Elizabeth Rayson’s book,Living Well with an Ostomy, delves into those practical aspects, yet provides candid coverage of the things they might not tell you in the hospital.

Laugh with Brenda
We Feel the Love
Brenda congratulates Hollister on 90 years of support, connections, and fun
By Brenda Elsagher
Congrats to Hollister Incorporated for 90 years of excellent service. I have been blessed to have had a relationship with Hollister since 1995/1996 when I started wearing their products. Like everyone else, I tried all the brands in an attempt to find the best thing that worked for me, and Hollister pouches did the job.

Talking Points
An Anniversary of Service
Hollister continues the legacy of optimal coverage
By Deanna Eaves, Senior Manager, US Reimbursement
As Hollister celebrates 90 years of service, I think back to our roots as a printing company, which began in 1921. It may seem odd that our company’s roots come from a non-medical industry, but our business today is built upon the values of the printer craftsman: quality, service, long-term relationships, and unconditional customer satisfaction.

Try a Little Tenderness
Love and intimacy go hand in hand after ostomy surgery
Let’s face it — sex can be an embarrassing issue to discuss, even with a doctor or nurse.

Talking Points:

Ensure Your Insurance
The relationship between documentation and reimbursement is key
By Deanna Eaves, Sr. Manager, U.S. Reimbursement
Remember, your time at the physician’s office is becoming more and more limited so you must make the most of that time. Don’t be afraid to ask them to record information on your ongoing needs. Your ostomy supplier will need this information in order to keep supplying you without interruption. Read the article on Hollister’s website.
