DEAR FRIENDS,
Welcome to the 2015 edition of the Vidant Health Foundation annual
report. This year’s report is an illustration of how we’re working together to
help improve the lives of people in eastern North Carolina. Vidant Health
Foundation has accomplished many things that we could not have done alone.
It took you, our donors and supporters, staff, patients, volunteers, nonprofit
organizations, civic groups, businesses and many others working together to
achieve success.
On April 15, 2015, we broke ground on a state-of-the-art cancer care facility at
the Vidant Medical Center campus in Greenville. This facility symbolizes a stake
in the ground in our fight against cancer in eastern North Carolina. In March of 2015, Vidant Duplin opened
its outpatient (infusion) services and began offering chemotherapy services in July. Local residents are
grateful for the cancer care services now available at Vidant Duplin Hospital in Kenansville.
Your support has allowed many dreams to become a reality including the construction of the new chapel at
Vidant Bertie Hospital. The chapel will be a place that serves patients and their families and friends as well as
our dedicated hospital staff.
Throughout this report you will find inspiring stories about donors, grateful patients, community leaders
and health professionals – from a couple in Beaufort who donates their time and resources to assist cancer
patients, to a local community leader who is helping people to live healthier. There are also testimonials from
physicians at Vidant Edgecombe Hospital and The Outer Banks Hospital.
Thanks to gifts from individuals and organizations a 5 year-old patient is reaping the benefits of the Pediatric
Asthma Program at Vidant Roanoke-Chowan Hospital, and a cancer survivor was able to receive lymphedema
therapy at Vidant Chowan Hospital.
For families in our region, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has been a dedicated partner in health care.
2015 marked the 30th anniversary for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in eastern North Carolina, a
hopeful era of incredible advances in health care for sick and injured children.
Your gifts are helping to bring better health to thousands of people, making sure that important programs,
services and equipment are available to those who need them. Because of you, our community and our
region is an even better place to live and work. In the words of Henry Ford “Coming together is a beginning;
staying together is progress; working together is success.” Because we are working together we are building a
healthier tomorrow.
Joel K. Butler
President, Vidant Health Foundation

WE’RE BUILDING A SYMBOL OF HOPE FOR
CANCER PATIENTS
We are all touched by cancer, whether we know someone who has been affected or we
have been diagnosed. Whatever the diagnosis, every patient deserves access to expert
care from well-trained oncologists.
Eight years ago, Williamston resident Myra Bowen was diagnosed with a form of ovarian cancer. She had major
surgery followed by three rounds of chemotherapy.
“The whole time I was going through treatment I knew I would be fine. I just felt so safe and secure in the process.
We hope to share the words ‘cancer free’ with many people in this area. In order to do that, people have to get to
physicians quicker, be diagnosed quicker and feel comfort while they’re being treated.”
Cancer is the number one cause of death in eastern North Carolina. In our 29 counties of 1.4 million people, we
have 15% higher mortality rates than the rest of the other 71 counties in North Carolina combined. An estimated
7,500 residents are diagnosed with cancer annually, and approximately 2,900 die from cancer each year.
At Vidant Health, we are embarking on a mission-critical journey to change all of that – to transform cancer care
in our region. Vidant has teams, technology and services that can save lives and is moving forward in building a
new facility at the Vidant Medical Center campus in Greenville, which will serve as the hub to provide cancer care
in a new state-of-the-art facility, as well as deliver cancer care in the region. The plans are driven by this vision: to
prevent the incidence of cancer whenever possible, diagnose the disease in its earliest stages and ensure every patient
with cancer receives world-class care without having to leave the area.
“This new building is all about hope. It’s about making the commitment to eliminate barriers to care for all of those
with cancer,” said Dr. Walker, chief, hematology and oncology; director, thoracic oncology; director, hematology and
oncology fellowship program at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. “This will be the flagship
academic and clinical cancer center where we will have teams of cancer experts working on innovative cancer
treatment and research to provide the best cancer treatment possible anywhere and where we will also be training
the next generation of oncologists.”
What do contributions to the Vidant Health Foundation help achieve?
The estimated cost of construction and equipping the cancer center and bed tower is more than $190 million.
Approximately $50 million of the cost is expected to be funded through the Cancer Care Campaign. The campaign
will allocate $40 million towards the state-of-the-art facility and $10 million towards programs and services such
as survivorship programs, complimentary therapies, and support groups that will assist patients and their families.
The new 418,000 square-foot cancer center and bed tower will be located adjacent to the existing East Carolina
Heart Institute on the Vidant Medical Center campus. The six-story, 96-bed facility will be designed so all inpatient
beds can provide care at either intensive or intermediate care levels. The first floor will be 140,000 square feet,
including a lobby, outpatient cancer clinic, radiation oncology, infusion services, patient support, pharmacy, lab
and administration office space; the second floor will consist of 48 inpatient beds and clinical support space; the
third floor will house mechanical and electrical components and include support space; the fourth floor will have
48 inpatient beds as well as clinical support space; finally, the fifth and sixth floors will be used for storage, leaving
space for possible future expansion and/or the replacement of existing hospital inpatient beds.
Patients, visitors and staff will be able to enjoy healing gardens and natural outside environments and shop at a
specialized boutique designed to meet the needs of cancer patients. There will also be a resource room for patients and
families to do research, in addition to conference space for cancer awareness and support programs.
“Everything in this facility is centered on providing the best possible experience for patients and families,” said
Brian Floyd, president, Vidant Medical Center. “We will enhance the efficiency of care delivery, as well as serve as the home
to programs and services that allow us to coordinate and integrate the regional treatment of cancer.”
Construction is estimated to be completed in 2018.
“I can look back and think about when we opened the doors for the Children’s Hospital,” says Myra. “It makes me
happy to see the work today that has been done because of the steps we took in making a children’s hospital. If we can
make one-tenth of progress for cancer, which I know we will, it will just be so amazing. There will be joy everywhere.”

WE’RE EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS TO
ACHIEVE HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES
The Vidant Health Foundation Community Benefit Grants Program partners with local
non-profit agencies to help individuals in communities across eastern North Carolina to
improve their health and quality of life. The Conetone Family Life Center has been one of
these partners for over ten years by providing the education, skills and tools needed for
area residents to live healthier lifestyles.
In 2005, Reverend Richard Joyner, had a realization. He had presided over too many funerals at a church of just
300 members. In one year alone, 30 congregants younger than 32 years old had died. Joyner enlisted the help of
Wick Baker, President of Vidant Edgecombe Hospital, to commission a health assessment, which showed more than
65 percent of church members suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure.
With 25 years of ministering under his belt, Joyner realized that his spiritual mission also needed to include
addressing the mental, physical and economic health of his church members. But Joyner had little money to invest
in launching healthy lifestyle programs with his church and the local community. He had even less experience in
applying for grants to fund such programs. But Joyner didn’t let that stop him, he worked with health professionals and
community members to develop programs and applied for his first grant. He also turned to a skill that had been rooted
in him since childhood — farming.
With the help of the Vidant Health Foundation, through the Community Benefit Grants Program, Joyner started
the Conetoe (‘Kuhneetuh’) Family Life Center. Since the program began its work (over 10 years ago), the Foundation
has provided funding each year with grants now totaling more than $145,000.
The Center provides after school and summer camp programs for youth aged 5 to 18 at community gardens where
they plan, plant and harvest produce, which they sell at farmers’ markets, roadside stands and restaurants. The
youth also manage beehives which pollinate crops and produce honey. They distribute the honey to the local
community and to retail stores between Conetoe and Raleigh. The revenue earned through the produce and honey
goes toward school supplies and scholarships.
Adults are involved, too. Parents donate time to help with homework, transportation and the garden. Only healthy
food is served at church suppers, funerals, weddings and other community events. Young people serve the food,
providing “rightsized” portions to their elders. And every Sunday in Conetoe is “Healthy Sunday,” with Joyner
delivering empowering sermons focused on taking personal accountability for living a healthy lifestyle, connecting
with neighbors and reducing social poverty.
Through such initiatives, Joyner is trying to transform the community into a model of health and economic vitality.
And it’s working. The Center’s efforts have made a major impact on the lives of Conetoe’s most disadvantaged
residents. Active participants, both young and old, have experienced a dramatic decline in chronic ailments,
necessary medications and hospital visits. As dietary practices have changed, people have lost weight, emergency
room visits for primary health care are down and the number of deaths has decreased. The knowledge and skills
the kids have acquired are enabling them to go to college, enlist in the military and enter the workforce.
In recognition of his extraordinary work, Joyner was awarded The Purpose Prize in 2014. Recently, he was
recognized as CNN Hero for making Conetoe a center of the national movement to promote healthy living.
“Growing food calls us to work together,” he said. “By nourishing plants, you’re nourishing community.”

WE’RE FORGING A LEGACY IN HEALTH CARE
Creative gift planning helps us deliver on our promise to address the health needs in
this region.
Every day Vidant Health touches the lives of our citizens in eastern North Carolina. Our health system and
Foundation, built through the generosity of supporters like you, permits us to continue our work today and in the
future. If you are looking for a way to leave a lasting legacy, it’s easier than you might think to make a significant
impact through a gift to Vidant Health Foundation. While gifts of cash and checks are always appreciated, gifts
to Vidant Health Foundation can be made in many other creative and impactful ways.
THE IRA CHARITABLE ROLLOVER IS PERMANENT!
On December 18 of 2015, Congress helped make charitable gift planning even more effective by passing into
law, and receiving Presidential signature, to extend and establish the Charitable IRA Rollover provision
as “permanent.” Since 2006, donors age 70 1/2 or older, have been allowed to make a charitable gift to the
Foundation from their IRA accounts. Donors’ IRA distributions must be directed from the financial institution
holding the IRA to the charitable institution. In other words, the donor may not take the IRA distribution and
then contribute the amount to the charity themselves. This provision has been up for renewal each year, often not
receiving congressional extension until late in the year.
An IRA rollover gift is a way for you to support Vidant Health Foundation today without impacting your checking
or savings account balance. Gifts made from your IRA (up to$100,000 per year) are not reportable as taxable
income. They also qualify for your required minimum distribution (RMD) which can lower your income and
taxes. In addition, making an IRA rollover gift may prevent you from:
• being bumped into a higher federal and/or state income tax bracket,
• hitting the phase-outs on your deductions and personal exemptions,
• falling into the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and
• incurring the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax.
YOU MAY ALSO BENEFIT FROM GIVING FROM YOUR IRA IF:
• You do not need all or a portion of your IRA income,
• You are looking to reduce your taxable income,
• You do not itemize deductions. Since IRA Charitable Rollovers reduce income, you still benefit even as a
non-itemizer or
• You want to give over and above your itemized limits. IRA Charitable Rollovers do not count towards the
50% annual limitation on charitable gifts.
WHAT IF YOU HAVE A 401(k), 403 (b) OR OTHER RETIREMENT PLAN?
This gift opportunity only works with IRA’s. If you own another type of qualified retirement plan, you must first
make a transfer to an IRA. Then you may direct the gift from your IRA to the charity.
HOW CAN I MAKE AN IRA ROLLOVER GIFT TO VIDANT HEALTH FOUNDATION?
Contact your IRA plan administrator to obtain their procedures and paperwork for enacting a Charitable IRA
Rollover. We can also provide sample letters/forms and assistance.
To learn more about the benefits of making an IRA Charitable Rollover gift, please contact our Planned Giving
Department at 252-847-0879.

WE’RE HELPING MAKE MIRACLES FOR
CHILDREN IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA
Cancer. Birth defects. Broken bones. Asthma. Whatever the condition or situation, whether
it’s a serious traumatic injury or a common childhood ailment, whether we’re saving lives
or trying to improve them—children need a special kind of comfort and care.
2015 marked the 30th anniversary for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in eastern North Carolina, a hopeful era
of incredible advances in health care that have helped sick and injured children throughout our region. We reflected
on the needs of children throughout our region who depend on us to fulfill our promise to help. Over the years,
our donors’ generosity have helped assure funds were available whenever the need arose for new equipment, kidfriendly improvements or extras like games and electronic devices that make a hospital stay feel more like home.
For families in our region, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has been a dedicated partner in health care,
hosting the yearly Celebration Broadcast on WITN, and raising money through events, programs and balloon sales
at our national partner locations. Thanks to our dedicated contributors, volunteers, organizations and sponsors,
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has been able to help provide the many programs and services that make life
better for families and kids. Through your gifts, we can assure them that when they need us, we’ll have the health
care they need.
Whether they have an illness that requires frequent medical treatments, or a traumatic injury that needs immediate
intervention, children who need medical care have a place of their own in eastern North Carolina. Thanks to
the many contributors to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Maynard Children’s Hospital has the best
technology and specialized equipment they need, close to home. Children benefit from the additional funding
that buys equipment, child-friendly surroundings, diversions and educational toys that help make their
hospital stay less frightening.
It all began in May 1986, with a small televised event that aired on WITN from the auditorium of the Brody School
of Medicine at East Carolina University. Dr. Jon Tingelstad, professor emeritus of pediatrics and former director
of Children’s Hospital, remembers the excitement everyone felt that year, knowing they were part of a new era that
would bring hope to the region. The children’s hospital began earlier that year as a “hospital within a hospital,” with
a pediatrics unit, neonatal intensive care, pediatric intensive care and the newborn nursery.
“We started small but with a lot of enthusiasm,” he remembers. “It was tremendous. We had a good team.” They
believed the televised event would help the new Children’s Hospital grow – and they were right.
Earlier that year, in February 1986, Tingelstad and other pediatricians marked the opening of Children’s Hospital of
Eastern North Carolina, based on the idea that children would heal better if they were hospitalized separately from
adults. Previously, children stayed in the same units with adult patients, usually receiving treatment using the same
instruments and equipment.
That spring, our first Children’s Miracle Network Telethon took place, raising $67,000. “It was exciting,” says Fred
Anderson, creative services director at WITN, who was on hand for that first broadcast, and continues to produce
them today. “Everything was new, and we were figuring it all out. We got immediate response, with a lot of people
who called in to support us right from the very beginning. We knew at that point it was important to eastern North
Carolina. When the phones start ringing, you know you’ve got an audience.”
“It’s a team of outstanding individuals,” Tingelstad says. “We’ve had outstanding coverage, as well as appearances
from our pediatric subspecialists, nurses, staff, who’ve all been superb. Our dedicated volunteers, together with the
generosity of the region, and all those who have been involved, have made our hospital and its programs a great
success. We are very pleased and proud.” These funds have been instrumental in making our children’s hospital the
outstanding center it is today, and bringing programs and services to families throughout the region.
Since that first telethon more than $24 million has been raised for our Children’s Hospital. In 2013, your generosity
helped make a dream come true with the opening of the James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital at
continued
13
Vidant Medical Center, a state-of-the-art center with the outstanding medical treatments you’d expect in a major
metropolitan area, right here in eastern North Carolina. As soon as children and their families arrive, a canvas canopy
– resembling ship’s sails – warmly welcomes them. Once inside, an under the sea theme with colorful ocean creatures,
a calming environment, and electronic diversions make going to the hospital more pleasant – and less scary.
Dr. Ronald Perkin served as chair of pediatrics in the Brody School of Medicine, and the pediatrician-in-chief of the
James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital, from 2000 until his retirement this past year. Dr. Perkin’s vision
called for expanding children’s hospital to house larger, more advanced units including the Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit (NICU), Kids Immunosuppressed Specialty Unit (KISU) and Pediatric Day Medical Ambulatory Unit (PDAY).
Those dreams came true, and today, Maynard Children’s Hospital has about 40,000 patient visits a year. Under his
leadership, and with the new children’s hospital addition which opened in 2013, the faculty has doubled and the
outpatient visits have tripled.
Over the years, through funds raised, we have purchased equipment tailored for children and have supported
specialized hospital services and programs in communities throughout the eastern region. We look forward to
many more years of saving lives through your contributions, which help us provide the best health care possible,
and a better quality of life, to kids and their families.

VIDANT BERTIE HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
WE’RE BUILDING A PLACE OF COMFORT
AND SPIRITUAL RENEWAL
The Walkers lead simple lives in Merry Hill, a tiny
farming community of less than 1,100 residents
in southeast Bertie County. A couple of years ago,
while reading the Windsor-based Bertie Ledger
Advance newspaper, Mr. Ronald Walker noticed
an article about the fundraising efforts by the
Vidant Bertie Hospital Development Council to
add a chapel to the hospital. Mr. Walker had been
a patient at the hospital, as had family members
and friends. He often wondered why the hospital
did not have a chapel, but was delighted to see
that the small six-bed hospital would have a
dedicated space for spiritual renewal in the
not-so-distant future. The chapel would be a
place that would serve not only patients and
their families and friends, but the dedicated
hospital staff.
Mr. Walker decided then and there that he and his wife would support the Chapel Project. The next day, he went
to the hospital and asked to see the person “in charge” of the project. He was directed to LuAnn Joyner, Marketing
and Community Relations Specialist. “Imagine my surprise when someone just walked off the street and handed
me a check for the Chapel Project,” said Joyner. “It was such a wonderful moment – one that I will never forget.” Mr.
Walker explained that the project “touched his heart” and he wanted to help the dream of the chapel addition become
a reality. “Everyone needs a private place to go to find comfort during times of loss or illness, or even to give thanks,”
noted Mr. Walker. “People go to the hospital for physical healing, but spiritual healing is mighty important, too. I am
so glad that Vidant Bertie Hospital will have that place very soon.”
The Walkers have contributed to the Chapel Project each year since giving their initial donation and have pledged to
continue to support the project in the future. “We want to see the courtyard area completed as well, so we will give
again in 2016,” Mr. Walker said. “I can’t think of a more important project to support.”
The Vidant Bertie Hospital Chapel will open in February 2016 and the ribbon cutting will be on Wednesday,
March 23, 2016. The dream has become a reality because of the support of people like Ronald and Irene Walker.

CHOWAN HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
WE’RE PROVIDING TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
FOR HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONERS
In July 2014, Kristy Worrell, Manager of the Outpatient
Rehabilitation Department at Vidant Chowan Hospital, approached
Chowan Hospital Foundation about providing funds to send two
licensed therapists on an intense 10-day training course to become
certified lymphedema therapy specialists. It appeared to be a
logical extension of the services already offered at Vidant Chowan,
especially since the new Outpatient Services Center included
expanded oncology treatment. The Board agreed to sponsor the
training and used funds donated to the Foundation.
A few months later, Jordan Walton, a licensed occupational therapist
at Vidant Chowan, was the first of two therapists to become a
certified lymphedema specialist. On the day she returned to work
after completing her training, there was a patient suffering with lymphedema on the inpatient unit. The lymphedema
treatment program at Vidant Chowan was born.
Jordan explains, “As I began my journey to become a certified lymphedema therapist, I was unsure how I would
impact patients’ lives. From a bystander perspective, a swollen limb doesn’t seem like it would bother you much.
However, the more I learned about this condition, the more it was obvious how devastating it could be. Cancer
survivors go through chemotherapy, radiation, sickness and millions of appointments. Then they get to hear the news
they have been waiting for — they are cancer free! Unfortunately, lymphedema can begin after cancer treatment.”
About six years ago, Susan Alred was diagnosed with cancer. She beat the cancer; however, Susan developed
lymphedema while undergoing her treatments. Susan said, “The physical side effects from lymphedema greatly
affected my daily life. It was difficult to dress myself and wash my hair without pain. I felt very self-conscious about
the size of my arm. It was difficult to find clothes to fit. I thought these were things I would just have to endure.”
After beginning occupational therapy and lymphedema treatment, everything was easier. Susan was once again able
to wash her own hair and dress herself more easily and without pain. She could wear her rings, carry groceries and
be more like her old self. Susan said, “I am so grateful for the excellent therapy that I received. It has made such a
difference in my life. Jordan was warm, caring and so knowledgeable. I know I received the best care.” Said Jordan, “It
was wonderful to see how this therapy positively impacted Susan’s life. I want to say thank you to all the donors who
gave the funds to make it possible for me to become certified in lymphedema therapy.”

When she realized that donor gifts made this therapy possible, Susan sent a letter to Ginny Waff, Executive Director
of Chowan Hospital Foundation. “I want to extend my sincere appreciation to the Foundation supporters for providing
funds to give this service to our community. It has made such a difference in my life, and I’m sure it will make a
difference to many others as well.”

DUPLIN HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
WE’RE ENSURING CONVENIENT TREATMENTS
AND COMPASSIONATE CARE
David Ross of Beulaville, is grateful for the cancer
care services now available at Vidant Duplin
Hospital in Kenansville.
David’s journey with cancer began in February
2015 at Vidant Orthopedics-Kenansville, where
Dr. Andrew Simpson performed a procedure on his
knee due to gout. Following the procedure, Dr. Chad
Kornegay, hospitalist at Vidant Duplin, stopped
by to see how David was doing and noticed he was
flushed. Dr. Kornegay insisted David be checked out,
and it turned out he was having a heart attack.
After spending two days in ICU at Vidant Duplin,
David was diagnosed as having four blocked arteries
and a blockage of the aortic valve. Surgery couldn’t happen until the gout infection in his knee was stabilized. Once
stabilized, David learned he had some dental problems that had to be addressed before the heart surgery could be done.
Finally, David was cleared to have heart surgery on March 16, at East Carolina Heart Institute in Greenville. During
the surgery, doctors found a mass in the thymus gland (located between the lungs). A biopsy of the mass showed it was
malignant. The decision was ultimately made to treat the cancer mass initially with chemotherapy rather than surgery.
David’s chemotherapy began on July 10 at Vidant Oncology-Kenansville, located in Vidant Duplin Hospital. Vidant
Duplin first opened its outpatient (infusion) services in March and began offering chemotherapy services in July. By
receiving chemotherapy in Kenansville, David only had a few miles to travel, versus a longer drive to Greenville.
Treatments were once a week for two weeks, with one week off in between. David’s treatments lasted until October 2.
David’s wife, Alice, is a nurse for Dr. Corazon Ngo, whose office is adjacent to Vidant Duplin. “The great thing about
having these services right here is it removes a lot of the worry and arrangements about travel,” she said. “You also
know a lot of these people—you run into them in the grocery store. So it’s more like a family.”
David’s primary oncologist is Dr. Paul Walker at the Leo Jenkins Cancer Center in Greenville. He confers with
Dr. Sri Jasthy, who works with David at Vidant Duplin. Dr. Jasthy and Dr. Charles Knupp are the oncologists
providing services at Vidant Duplin. Dr. Knupp was instrumental in getting the program started. Working primarily
out of Greenville, he travels among several Vidant hospitals and is at Vidant Duplin once a week.
According to Dr. Jasthy, coordinated care is one of the main emphases of the cancer care services offered at Vidant
Duplin. “Whether a patient’s primary oncology physician is in Greenville or at another hospital, such as Rex or Duke,
the patient doesn’t have to change doctors to use our services. We coordinate the care through their primary doctor.
The advantage is that the patient gets infusion services here, rather than traveling a long distance for the same
services. All of us want to do what’s best for the patient. That’s the key.”
Working with the two physicians are oncology nurses Jennifer Lanier and Megon Howard. Jennifer has been an
oncology nurse for nine years. She came from a larger hospital when cancer care services began. Megon, a nurse at
Vidant Duplin for 21 years, has worked in different areas of the hospital, including diabetes education.
All of these professionals work together to provide David’s care. Regarding chemotherapy, David said, “I felt bad,
but the people were great. Jennifer and Megon always went out of their way to make me comfortable. They work
like professionals, but their compassion and caring about what you’re going through is obvious.”
Said Dr. Jasthy, “Chemotherapy is hard on a patient. There is fatigue and loss of appetite. But David was a great
patient—always positive. I think his positive outlook has been a big part of the successful treatment he’s had.”
Megon says she loves working in cancer care, talking with patients and their families, getting to know them and their
needs better. “These patients are going through a difficult process, something frightening to them and their families.
We take the time to sit with them, answer their questions, and reassure them.”
Jennifer says she loves it at Vidant Duplin. She lives close to the Ross family and has known them a long time, going
to school with their son. “That makes it special,” she said.
She encourages people to call them at Vidant Duplin to talk about the services available. “Besides chemotherapy,
there are some simple services associated with cancer care that people don’t need to be traveling long distances for
when they can be done right here. Chemotherapy can take six to eight hours for one treatment. If you’re traveling,
that takes a day’s commitment from a family member or friend. For someone in our community, that person can
leave the patient with us, do what they need to do, and we will call them when the patient is ready to be picked up.”
While the chemotherapy shrunk David’s tumor, Dr. Walker and Dr. Jasthy are now in consultations about whether
radiation or surgery will be the next step in David’s treatment. Both David and Alice are confident the decision will be
the right one.
“We place a lot of confidence in this whole team,” said Alice. “We are so grateful these services and these people
are here. We feel like one big family, one team, working together to find the best possible outcome for David. It has
been a long and difficult road, but we are confident we have the best possible guides for the journey.”
Like other initiatives and programs at Vidant Duplin Hospital, cancer care is a vital program the Foundation is proud
to support. Through the Foundation’s fundraising efforts, proceeds are designated to assist many of Vidant Duplin’s
programs like cancer care.

VIDANT EDGECOMBE HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
WE’RE GIVING BACK TO COMMUNITIES
WHERE WE LIVE AND WORK
“My life did not begin from a luxurious beginning,”
said Dr. Barry Bunn. “But at an early age, I
was taught that respect for others, hard work,
caring, relationships, loyalty, sense of family and
community, and giving back was just as much
a part of my DNA as my dark hair. Much of my
success comes from the opportunities created by
the generosity and hard work of others, their belief
in me and what I was working hard to accomplish.
I was taught along the way that servant leaders
serve for the growth and well-being of their
communities and not for the ability to gain power
or money.”
During Dr. Bunn’s tenure at Vidant Edgecombe Hospital, he and his team have provided care to over 280,000
patients in the Emergency Department. “I have seen the time I have given back to teach and volunteer in countless
ways. I have seen my financial gifts help to provide, in real time, physical improvements to our hospital and provide
equipment to help care for our patients and their families. We always speak of the right care for the patient, at
the right time and at the right place. The money that I continue to give and the countless hours of volunteering
make that statement a reality for me. From the Emergency Department expansion, purchase of new ultrasound
machines, computers for telemedicine projects, funds to help start an inpatient dialysis program, to other building
renovations, I know that giving back is the right thing to do. It makes a difference.”
Coming from a strong family, Dr. Bunn’s strong sense of giving has been passed down and taught as values to his
children. “I’ve instilled the importance of giving back in the way of money, time and goodwill to those in need or
less fortunate. We are all one step – one minute – or one day from being that person. We should find it in our heart
and soul to realize this and know it’s just the right thing to do,” says Dr. Bunn. Both of his children volunteer at
numerous organizations and have received presidential awards for community service. His son works as a volunteer
at Vidant Edgecombe Hospital over the summer months.
The hospital is only one of the charitable organizations that the Bunn family supports. “I was taught early on that it
was more important to give than to receive,” Dr. Bunn shared. “I found that it made me happier to do something for
others than for myself.”

THE OUTER BANKS HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
WE’RE ADVANCING OUR MISSION
By Dr. Christine Petzing
It seems like every time I turn around our Development Council
is supporting a needed service that helps our cancer patients,”
shared Dr. Petzing. “I run our cancer program’s Symptom
Management Clinic and refer many patients to our Chair Yoga
Program, Wig Program, lymphedema therapy and so much
more. These are all programs supported by The Outer Banks
Hospital Development Council.
What’s more, our Council is 100% behind the cancer
screening and prevention efforts that are a key part of our
Cancer Accreditation process through the American College
of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. Funds raised by The Outer Banks Hospital Development Council have
underwritten the costs of more than 1,300 screening mammograms for uninsured and underinsured people in
our community. And when our Cancer Committee led the charge to launch a lung cancer screening program, the
Council was right there to underwrite the screening for people who aren’t covered for it.
I championed the Vidant Health Employee Giving Campaign because it gave our employees the opportunity to give
back to our local Council efforts. These efforts directly help the patients that I provide care for as a physician. I am
thankful for the opportunity for our employees and physicians to give back right here within our own system of
care. Here at The Outer Banks Hospital, our employees contributed more than $20,000 to help our community. It
feels good to see our resources being put to good use and to see our patients receiving help from the generosity of
our employees.
I have always believed in stewardship of resources – both personally and collectively. I am very blessed and
feel motivated to support our hospital and Development Council in raising funds to improve the health of our
community. I believe in the mission.
Dr. Petzing is a hospitalist at The Outer Banks Hospital. She stepped up to champion the 2015 Employee Giving Campaign
because of her first-hand experiences with the many ways the funds raised through The Outer Banks Hospital Development
Council help her patients.

WE’RE HELPING CHILDREN LIVE AND
BREATHE EASIER
Skyler Ricks, 5-years-old from Northampton
County, was unable to spend any time outside
due to increased breathing problems. After
numerous hospitalizations and emergency room
visits, Skyler’s family saw a newspaper article
about the Pediatric Asthma Program at Vidant
Roanoke-Chowan Hospital.
The Pediatric Asthma Program provides services
to children, up to age 18, who have asthma and
educates their families and the community on
how to control and prevent asthma episodes.
Tiffany Ricks recounts, “My husband and I
decided to call and we are so thankful that we did
because Ms. Theresa, the asthma specialist, came
to visit our home and changed our lives forever.
Before that day, our son could never play outside
like a normal child without being out of breath,
having to have a treatment and/or steroids. He
could barely walk upstairs to his room or change
clothes without getting out of breath. Skyler used
to ask all the time why he couldn’t be normal and
do things his little sister does, as well as other kids.
Since that day he has been a totally different child.
He runs and plays non-stop all the time without
limitation. We are truly blessed for this program.”

To date, the program has served over 200 families in Hertford and Northampton Counties, performed over 300
school visits and impacted 1,983 individuals through community outreach programs. The program reduces
missed days of school, emergency room and hospital visits for children through case management, with clinic,
home and school visits.
Private and community donations allow the program to serve asthmatic children in eastern North Carolina.
Three years ago, the Zaslow brothers, philanthropists from Philadelphia presented a gift to the hospital through
the Roanoke-Chowan Foundation in memory of their childhood caregiver, Annie Eason, to benefit area children.
The gift started the Pediatric Asthma Program. Roanoke-Chowan Foundation has provided funding for the
program for the past two years, fulfilling its mission to support community based programs that encourage long
term, positive improvements in the health and well-being in the Roanoke-Chowan area. With your help, the
Pediatric Asthma Program allows children like Skyler to live a normal, healthy life.

SHEPARD CANCER FOUNDATION
WE’RE DELIVERING COMMUNITY SUPPORT
On the south side of the Pamlico River, on the
banks of Chocowinity Bay, lies the beautiful
community of Cypress Landing. The community
has only been in existence since the mid-90’s with
residents hailing from nearly every state and many
international locations.
The Marion L. Shepard Cancer Center has been,
and continues to be, a beneficiary of the passion
and commitment to community engagement
shown by the Cypress Landing residents.
Residents Ed and Shirley Mann are just one
example of this community’s generous support.
Like many, Ed and Shirley have both been affected
by cancer. Ed was diagnosed with melanoma in 2000 and not many years later, Shirley’s daughter was diagnosed
with breast cancer at the age of 40. Like many, it was important for Ed and Shirley to give back to their community.
Because cancer was so personal to him, Ed began volunteering for the oncology department at Beaufort County
Hospital (now Vidant Beaufort Hospital) around the time of his diagnosis in 2000 and recruited Shirley to join him
in 2002.
Shirley continues to volunteer in the same Tuesday morning shift as when she started 13 years ago. Ed’s volunteer
time with the Cancer Center has evolved from serving as a weekly volunteer to now serving on the Shepard Cancer
Foundation board, which he has done since 2009. Ed and Shirley have both found their passion. Shirley with her
warm smile and soft-spoken, gentle nature enjoys interacting with patients and families and helping the Cancer
Center staff. Ed’s financial acumen and years of business experience give value to his role on the Foundation board.
Ed and Shirley are also generous donors to the Shepard Cancer Foundation, having just made a naming gift to the
Center’s recent radiation oncology expansion in memory of Ed’s parents, Ed and Mildred Mann.
Ed and Shirley are just two of hundreds of residents in the Cypress Landing community who have not only had
personal encounters with a cancer diagnosis, but who give of their time and financial resources to make life better
for cancer patients, survivors and caregivers.

In the fall of 2012, a group from the Cypress
Landing Golf Club approached the Shepard
Cancer Foundation board about hosting a golf
tournament fundraiser for the Foundation. Three
years and $173,000 later, the outpouring of
support is astounding. The golf tournament is just
one piece of what has become possibly the largest
fundraiser in Beaufort County. The number
of people who participate in some way has
become far too many to count. One of the most
fascinating pieces of the fundraiser is a purple
bow campaign. Residents display these bows on
their mailbox to show their support of our Cancer
Center and also as a means for recognizing the
many cancer patients and survivors in the community. Over 1,200 purple bows were sold raising over $26,000 in
the summer of 2015. In the residential community of Cypress Landing, with over 500 homes, purple bows were
displayed in abundance as an outward sign of their tremendous support.
Like the Mann’s, many Cypress Landing residents are not only generous with their financial resources but also with
their time. Vidant Beaufort Hospital and the Marion L. Shepard Cancer Center are blessed by the 20 plus Cypress
Landing residents who give generously of their time as weekly volunteers. These volunteers are so valuable to
the daily operations. In addition, there are knitters and quilters who lovingly make quilts, blankets and hats for
cancer patients and newborn babies.
Vidant Beaufort Hospital and the Marion L. Shepard Cancer Center, as well as many other nonprofits, are very
fortunate to have Cypress Landing residents call Beaufort County home. They are an amazing and generous group
of community members who channel their interests, experience and talents to the betterment of the community.
