Dear Friends:
Methodist Healthcare Foundation’s 2010 annual report is more than a summary of achievements and data. It is a
summary of the spiritual, human and financial resources that have been generously shared with countless individuals
through our hospitals. We hope you will take a few minutes to read the stories of the many people who have walked our
halls over the past year and who have helped create a circle of greatness that we are proud to call Methodist Healthcare.
We believe each and every person who walks through our doors should be treated well, with dignity and with a focus on
their spiritual and physical well-being. It’s the commitment to serve everyone, everyday, which keeps our hospital
doors open in all parts of the city and all neighborhoods.
Our Mission:
The Foundation supports the life of Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare
by inviting community philanthropic partners to invest in the parts of
our mission that demand enhancements in research, facility or
programs. The Foundation invites its partners to build the capacity of
the healthcare system by communicating the bold faith of our founders
and expansive vision of a more full and healthy life for the
communities we serve.
At the Methodist Healthcare Foundation, we work to support the efforts of the team of physicians, Associates and
donors who come together to provide expert care for the thousands of patients treated at Methodist each year. Our
purpose is to assist Methodist Healthcare in its one constant goal: providing dramatically enhanced quality of care
and support for its patients and their families.
Thanks to caring donors like you, we are able to provide that same expert care to every member of the community
who needs it, regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.
We are blessed with a generosity, not just of resources, but also of spirit. None of this would be possible without you,
our donors and the leadership and vision of our Board of Directors. For your continued support, we are thankful
and humbled.
In the spirit of thanks and caring,
Susan Murrmann, MD, Chairman of the Board
Methodist Healthcare Foundation

Paying it Forward
Rufus Jones operated a family-owned business for 25 years—The Jones Big Star. “We ran that business across
from Stax for 25 years. My parking lot was the showcase for Isacc Hayes’ Cadillac,” Rufus recalls.
His daughter, Gladys Jones, also has fond memories of the family endeavor. “I was allowed to work there
when I could count to 100 so I could make change,” says Gladys.
Today, the Jones family is working together again. This time it’s not the family business, but a family
commitment to improved health. Gladys, her father and her aunt Yvonne all attend Richard Link’s Tai Chi
class that he teaches twice a week for transplant patients. Richard himself is a transplant recipient and says at
one point in his life he had trouble just walking to the mailbox. He decided to get stronger and turned to
Tai Chi. From there, he became certified to teach, and today, he has a growing community of people who
attend his classes and are inspired by his enthusiasm for movement.
Gladys and her family met Richard at a patient transplant briefing, and from that day, they have been
attending without fail. “Richard says ‘motion is lotion.’ He encourages us to be active and get moving,” she
says with confidence.
Gladys is on a waiting list for a pancreas/kidney transplant but is considered inactive until she loses 40
pounds. “Since I have been coming to Tai Chi, I have lost 30 pounds,” she says. “I am also diabetic. This
class has helped improve my balance, lowered my blood pressure and more.”
They aren’t Richard’s only followers. Bill and Edith Palmer have been attending classes for nearly a year. Bill
received a liver transplant in December of 2010. Today, the couple says they attend twice a week. “I love it,”
says Edith. “You can feel your muscles relax immediately, and the strength we have gained is amazing.
Bill was walking the second day after his transplant in the ICU.”
Richard does all of this for no pay—just the reward of the progress he sees in his students. As the class lines
up for the final movements, they look like a family of sorts. Their faces are calm, relaxed and focused. The
final words of Edith Palmer describing her experience with the class and with Richard come to mind. “We
are believers.”

On the forefront of groundbreaking treatment,
Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute has
a solid history, rich in research and innovation, as well
as an established reputation as a leader in the transplant
field for more than 30 years. Partnering with the
University of Tennessee Health Science Center, the
program is dedicated to improving the quality of life
and the life expectancy for transplant patients through
research breakthroughs, excellence in surgical
techniques and meticulous post-operative care.
Nationally recognized for its success with kidney, liver,
kidney-pancreas and pancreas transplants, Methodist
University Hospital Transplant Institute is one of only
20 programs in the country to perform more than 100
liver and 100 kidney transplants annually. In 2010, the
program performed 120 liver transplants, placing the
Institute in the top ten programs in the nation.
Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute is a
nationally recognized Center of Excellence for Liver
and Kidney based on volume and outcomes and is the
most experienced steroid-free liver transplant center in
the nation.
The Institute is committed to exceeding national quality
outcomes and furthering innovative clinical research
while providing comprehensive, compassionate care to
transplant patients and families.
Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute
provides many opportunities for individuals to make a
meaningful gift to enhance the clinical care and quality
of life for organ transplant recipients, organ donors
and their families.

A Mighty Vision
Dr. Osarogiagbon—or Dr. O as he is warmly referred to by his patients—is a man with a vision. It’s a vision
to provide comprehensive care to adults suffering from sickle cell disease, and he’s not alone. Memphis
has one of the largest groups of adult patients in the county, yet no comprehensive center exists to treat their
many needs. Fortunately, a group of caring citizens and medical providers are joining hands with Methodist
Healthcare to create the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center of Memphis.
“Patients die frequently from this disease and oftentimes they are young when they die—and they die after a
life of pain and suffering,” he says. “This is a tremendously physically and emotionally damaging disease with
a highly complicated care need. For adults, there has been no effort to approach the care in a
comprehensive manner.”
“The Center will be a brain trust for treating and researching sickle cell disease,” says
Dr. Osarogiagbon. “It will increase visibility and optimize clinical care thanks to more well-trained sickle
cell caregivers,” he says. “It will also foster increased research that will help us understand this disease.
Finally, clinicians involved in the care will learn how to communicate to other healthcare providers the needs
of these patients.”
All of this results in better care for patients, less suffering and perhaps one day a life free from sickle cell.
That’s a mighty vision.
Be amazed at what we can do together
Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center of Memphis
A little more than a year after announcing the launch
of a $5 million fundraising campaign to create the
Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center of Memphis,
construction of the center’s outpatient clinic and
dedicated in-patient unit is underway on the Methodist
University Hospital campus.
Scheduled for completion in Fall 2011 and
encompassing 7,300 square feet, the center will include
a 24-hour Emergency Infusion Unit and a Preventive
Outpatient Clinic. The infusion unit will provide
24-hour pain crisis management, transfusion and
intravenous infusion support. Providing preventive
health maintenance specific to sickle cell disease
consists of patient education, genetic counseling,
social work services and psychosocial support.

Dr. Robin Jones Womeodu, MD,

Kevin M. Spiegel, FACHE, Senior Vice President,
CEO/Administrator, Methodist University Hospital
“The Center will be a brain trust for treating and researching
sickle cell disease.”
The Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center’s design is
based upon delivering the most advanced clinical
treatment, offering on-site research for treatment
advances and ultimately a cure. Committed to
providing continuity of care at its best, the Center’s
care model will reduce admission rates to the hospital
and emergency departments for sickle cell patients,
translating to reduced pain and suffering for sickle cell
patients in the Mid-South.
Your support of the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center
of Memphis will help improve the health and quality of
life for hundreds in our community.
A Family Affair
Dixie Laster is a nurse. She’s also a healer, a listener, a wife and a daughter. But what makes Dixie extra
special is her calling. It’s a calling to care for the dying and to help make the last days of a person’s life on
earth comfortable for the patient and for the family.
“Hospice isn’t a bad place when you are ready for it,” she says. “I am going to make sure you enjoy the last
days you have left.”
That’s why Dixie is anxiously waiting for the Methodist Hospice Residence to open this summer. “This will
be an extension of a patient’s home where we can care for the patient and the family. Caregivers get broken
down, too.”
Dixie says the Residence will provide a home environment while providing 24-hour care, pain relief and
medical support. “So many patients have said, ‘I just wish I could go outside one more time.’ At the
Residence we can roll their bed out to see the gardens or go to the chapel. You can’t do that in a hospital; it’s
not meant to do that.”
“This Hospice Residence means so much to me,” she says. “My family understands the power of hospice and
they have given to help make this one even more special.” She says that her parents have donated the
children’s play furniture and her husband Glenn’s family has donated the communion table.
“This will make a world of difference for our community,” she says.
Thanks to Dixie, to her calling and to the support of untold caregivers and donors, the Hospice Residence
will be a place of service for generations to come. It’s truly a family affair.
Be surrounded by love and light
Methodist Hospice Residence
We’ve built a place—a home, so full of light, love and
compassion that it spills outside and touches everything
that surrounds it. It is our work made real and visible.
Located on six beautifully wooded acres, Methodist
Hospice Residence offers patients and their families
the very best of faith, health and compassion during a
very special time in their lives.
Featuring 30 patient rooms, a conference room,
chapel, family gathering area, a kitchen for families,
gardens and walking paths, the Hospice Residence
allows Methodist to provide a homelike place for those
with a short time to live and a place for families and
friends to share in the last days of a loved one’s life.
Each patient room offers comfortable surroundings to
enable patients and families to feel more at ease. Pets,
personal mementos, photos, music and all the comforts
of home are encouraged to make each room as close to
home as possible.
Because of your generosity, this much-needed resource
is now a reality for the patients and families we care for
each day. Methodist Hospice Residence is a place where
patients can embrace life to the fullest and have the
dignity they deserve during their final stage of life.
Dixie Laster, RN

one more time.’ At the Residence, we can roll their bed out to

A Rock Star is Born
When Sarah McCoid says she and her baby Jonah were treated like rock stars at Methodist Le Bonheur
Germantown Hospital, you just believe her.
It’s clear she isn’t one to exaggerate. Nor does she complain, even as she recalls the events of the last year
when she delivered Jonah 12 weeks early by C-section and was immediately moved to nine hours of heart
surgery. Within six weeks, she was home caring for her two older children, Aaron and Noah (now 7 years and
15 months old), managing all of this while making trips back and forth to the NICU at the Germantown
Women and Children’s Pavilion where newborn Jonah stayed for 61 days.
“It’s all very surreal,” she says. “I don’t think 34-year-olds are supposed to have heart surgery.”
When Sarah was 17 weeks pregnant with Jonah, she was overwhelmed with heart palpitations. To be safe, her
doctor sent her for tests. The tests revealed that Sarah had Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder of the
connective tissue that can have serious complications such as defects of the heart valves and aorta. The tests
also revealed a 5.3 cm aneurysm. Doctors said she wouldn’t make it through the third trimester of her
pregnancy and, at 28-weeks, her aorta dissected. And that’s where the story really begins.
She says the multi-disciplinary care she received from Dr. Jeffrey Gibson and the team of physicians and
medical staff at Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown saved her life and her baby’s life. Today, mom and
children are all doing well.
“Jonah is over 10 pounds. My seven-year-old loves being a big brother, and my 15-month-old just smiles
and waves,” she says proudly. And she will always remember the team at Methodist for her outstanding care—
and for treating her whole family like rock stars.
“The care I received was incredible,” she says. “They cared about us as a family—not just about me.”
Be a partner in care
Patient- and Family-Centered Care
Imagine a healthcare setting where the family member
can be by the side of the patient, providing comfort,
support and vital information for recovery. They are
part of the healing process, collaborating with
caregivers to determine the best possible care for the
patient. Patients and family members are more engaged
in the healing process, are more familiar with the level
of care needed for recovery and are better prepared to
provide the necessary care after the patient is
discharged from the hospital.
Sarah McCoid,
Jonah McCoid and
Jeffrey Gibson, MD
“The care I received was incredible,” she says.
“They cared about us as a family—not just about me.”
At Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, the spirit of
healing has been our strength for the better part of a
century. As a faith-based healthcare organization, we
have a unique culture that understands that healing
involves more than treating specific symptoms. A
philosophy of patient- and family-centered care
embraces our vision of delivering outstanding care to
each patient.
Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare is committed to
equal partnerships with our patients and their families
to create a truly special care environment. To ensure
that commitment, we are enlisting advisors, called
Patient and Family Partners, to provide guidance and
input. These partners help us view the world through
their unique and important perspectives by
participating in work groups on special projects, sitting
on a special hospital steering committee or simply
providing input during patient- and family-centered
care meetings.
We’re committed to providing the best healthcare
experience for our patients and families and setting
the standard in delivering compassionate patient- and
family-centered care.
God is Here
Andy McCarroll had his own ideas about how to transform a community. Yet when he heard about the
Center of Excellence (COE) in Faith and Health at Methodist University Hospital and the work Gary
Gunderson and his team were creating in the community and around the world, he says it “just made sense.”
“The vision of this program transcends the traditional boundaries of politics, economics, religion or
business—you name it,” he says. “The result is a healthier community or at least the possibility of achieving a
community that embraces its full potential.”
Andy believes that we must create the conditions that allow each person to reach his or her full potential.
“We have to start with basic needs for everyone—health is one of those basic needs. “We don't passively receive
the sick. We proactively reach out to build the healthy. This is what a hospital should be about."
Andy and his family decided to support the work of the COE by making a generous donation to
help build the Center of Excellence space at Methodist University Hospital. The COE opened earlier this
year. “It’s wonderful that Methodist is creating a context where these conversations are taking place.”
Ultimately, he says, it’s really about love. And where love is, Andy says, “God is there.”
Be at the heart of our mission
The Center of Excellence in Faith and Health
Located in the heart of Methodist University Hospital,
the Center of Excellence in Faith and Health is a place
focused on the heart of Methodist Le Bonheur
Healthcare’s mission - the unconditional care and
concern for our patients and their families.
An interfaith, collaborative center of research,
innovation, training and family care, the Center
focuses on building partnerships with congregations,
community health centers and privately funded clinics
to promote public health to communities. Working
with partners both locally and globally, the Center has a
multi-tiered approach including: identifying and
linking local community faith resources; providing
support and resources to clergy; enhancing the patient
experience within the walls of the hospital; and
collaborative research with international experts on
faith and health – all with the goal of improving the
well-being of the patient before, during and after the
hospital experience.
The Center of Excellence in Faith and Health is located
in 16,000-square-feet of newly renovated space and
contains a family care center, family education library,
consultation space for families and physicians, and The
Kemmons Wilson Family Foundation Innovation
Studio, a state-of-the-art area for training and
teleconferencing.
The Center of Excellence in Faith and Health connects
faith and health to support the health and healing of
our patients and their communities. We believe there is
always more that can be done not only to treat people,
but also to heal our communities. Faith plays a central
role in our efforts and our mission.
Be a part of this revolutionary center. Your support can
help change healthcare for all of us.

Turning Tragedy into Good
“If you ever need anything, don’t be shy. Let me know how I can help.” These words, spoken by Dennis
Jones to his Germantown United Methodist Church pastor, Rick Kirchoff, began a friendship that would
last a lifetime. From that first conversation, Rick says Dennis always made it clear he was here to help others.
Yet Dennis did not share the depth of his personal struggle with depression—not even with his most intimate
partner—his wife Debbie.
“After 35 years of marriage, I didn’t know that Dennis suffered from a cancer of the mind and it wasn’t being
treated. In fact, it was terminal,” says Debbie.
On December 28, 2009, Dennis took his own life. Debbie remembered, “I was in shock. I had no idea.”
Debbie and her daughter, Cristin Santana, quickly realized that “nothing good comes from keeping secrets”
and decided not to hide how Dennis had died or how he had battled depression.
Instead, Debbie says, “I wanted to do something to turn this tragedy into something good.” She talked to
Rick about starting a program that would offer help to other families battling depression. Rick wasn’t sure
any single church had the capacity to sustain the work for decades to come and connected Debbie with Gary
Gunderson, Sr. VP of Faith and Health for Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare. After much prayer and
planning, the Dennis H. Jones Living Well Network is underway at Methodist Healthcare.
Rick has joined Methodist, and one of his roles will be to lead the effort. “It’s a work in progress,” he says.
“But, one thing is for sure, it will honor Dennis.”
“I wish I had known enough to be able to help Dennis. With this program, we can plug a hole where we
didn’t even know there was one,” she says. “Dennis was giving and caring. Now he can continue to give and
care through this work for years to come.”

Walking the Talk
Flintco, a commercial construction company, and its division president, Kevin Moyes, are proud supporters
of the Methodist Healthcare Foundation. “Methodist is very important to the community. We wanted to
support it.”
Kevin was well aware of Methodist’s impact on our community, but a phone call last year made it even more
real to him.
“There are some days you never forget,” says Kevin as he recalls a call from a trusted employee. “The day
Tony called to tell me he needed a liver transplant and was on a waiting list was one of those days.”
Under the care of Dr. James Eason and Dr. Satheesh Nair, Tony Flow began his transplant journey. His
story is heavy with numbers and statistics—days waiting for the right donor, days in recovery and countless
numbers of caring people helping him along the way.
“Before my transplant, I had worked for a long time in the Methodist facilities. I was familiar with the
procedures, the policies and the people.” Tony is superintendent for Flintco Constructive Solutions and the
lead manager of the team that built Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital and the Women’s and
Children’s Pavilion. He says his experience as a patient gave him a new perspective on a familiar friend.
“Every nurse, every person was quite amazing.”
“When Methodist says, ‘patients come first,’ it’s true,” says Tony. “They mean it.”
Today, Tony and the Flintco team are wrapping up their work at Germantown, but, Tony says he will
continue his work as a volunteer in the Transplant Center visiting patients post-surgery. “I know where I was
the next day,” he says with a smile. “It’s the right thing to do to go back and encourage others.”
Beyond Business as Usual
Corporate Community Partners Push Healthcare
Methodist Healthcare has turned to the business
community, not only to help us provide outstanding
healthcare, but to also enhance and grow these
services. Many of our most generous donors are our
physician groups, vendors, construction companies
and Memphis corporations who understand the
importance and impact of high quality healthcare
within a community.
We are grateful to these businesses that support events
that benefit our priority clinical services or ongoing
programs such as Camp Bravehearts, our family grief
camp for children who cope with the death of a family
member or friend. Many corporate partners helped
build the Center of Excellence in Faith and Health and
the new Hospice Residence, while others underwrite
research and educational programs in transplant and
neurosciences. To be able to go beyond “business as
usual” depends on our business contributors.

Amazing things are
happening with you:
The Methodist Healthcare Foundation raises money to support the hospital system’s
mission and strategic initiatives, thereby supporting better care for our patients and our
community. In order to strengthen clinical initiatives throughout the Methodist
Healthcare System, the Methodist Healthcare Foundation awards grants for programs and
research projects that support the mission and goals of Methodist Healthcare. The grants
provide support for work conducted in areas of most interest, specifically: neuroscience,
transplant, cancer, patient safety, quality of care and nursing excellence and education.
With you, we have accomplished much in the past year. With individual, corporate and
foundation support we:
• took a bold step in an effort to explore how faith and health can be combined for better
health and opened the Barbara and Ralph Hamilton Center of Excellence in Faith and
Health, the first ever to be housed within a hospital
• have made great strides in building the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center of Memphis
so all those who suffer from sickle cell disease can receive the care they deserve
• made great strides in completing the Methodist Hospice Residence scheduled to open
this summer to care for those who are in their last days of life
• have served countless people with high quality care at our new and expanded
Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital and Women’s and Children’s Pavilion.
In addition, the Foundation hosts the following community events:
Methodist Healthcare Foundation Living Awards are presented in recognition of those individuals or
organizations who have distinguished themselves by leadership and commitment to the faith and health mission of
