Spring 2012 - McLAREN HEALTH
& Our Mission: To receive and administer funds to support the mission of Northern Michigan Regional Health System and support programs that enhance the well-being of the community. Northern Michigan Regional Health System Foundation Spring 2012 Here For You, In Every Season No matter where you reside, when you need the best care, we are here for you. Whether northern Michigan is your primary home, your seasonal residence, or your favorite place to visit, Northern Michigan Regional Health System is here for you — at any time of the day, and every month of the year. No matter where you live, choose us when you need the best care. Award-winning healthcare facilities are found wherever people care enough to pursue the best — in services, staff, technology, and treatments. Northern Michigan Regional Health System is such an organization, known throughout the state, the Midwest, and even the nation where quality is the norm, and the best treatment is the outcome. Oncology, orthopaedics, heart health, and neuroscience specialties are among the best anywhere. Patient care yields thoughtful donors. Meet some individuals on pages 4 and 5 who have become Friends of the Foundation after experiencing our care. 2 Letter from Your Chair and Chief Development Officer 3 The McLaren Relationship 4Specialty Care, Grateful Patients — Cover Story Continued 6 2012 Fundraising Priorities 7Structural Heart — A Top Priority 8 Planned Giving — Creating an Endowment 9 2011 Memorials and Honorariums 12 Faces of Generosity INSIDE Carlos Fernandez and his daughter, Caroline, recall their Northern Michigan Regional Hospital experience on page 4. 231.487.3500 nmh-foundation.org dear friends Dear Friends of the Foundation: T moon seagren ham schirmer he past year of negotiations and due diligence with Flint-based McLaren Health Care has come to a happy conclusion. Northern Michigan Regional Hospital has joined a network of nine other Michigan hospitals as a subsidiary of Flint-based McLaren Health Care. Many thanks to those of you who completed the survey regarding a potential new name. After evaluating the survey results of over 2,000 participants, the Hospital Board of Trustees unanimously voted to adopt McLaren–Northern Michigan, overwhelmingly favored by survey respondents. Northern Michigan Regional Health System Foundation will transition to McLaren–Northern Michigan Foundation. Over the course of the next few weeks and months, you will begin to see our new name incorporated throughout our facilities and into our workflow — all according to an implementation plan that represents a financially prudent approach. This is an exciting time for us, and we look forward to new opportunities which will enhance our ability to provide healthcare as we expect for our own family. One thing that will not change, however, is the direction of Foundation fundraising. Donations and gifts in all forms will continue to work for the sole benefit of Northern Michigan Regional Health System and its patients. This newsletter presents some remarkable stories of individuals who have benefited from care received through Northern Michigan Regional Health System — from emergent Hospital visits to Hospice services. Significantly, these individuals were seasonal residents or occasional visitors, proof that the best care anywhere can be found right here in our region. Their experiences speak eloquently and decisively about the Health System, the Foundation, and the importance of philanthropy. We hope you derive inspiration from them. Finally, we wish to recognize our outgoing Board of Trustees Chair, Elise Hayes. On behalf of the Foundation and entire Health System, we thank her for her dedication to the health of our community and the patients we serve. We look forward to working with Elise in her new role as Foundation Board Secretary. Respectfully yours, Ham Schirmer board chair foundation 2 nmh-foundation.org · 231.487.3500 Moon Seagren chief development officer foundation the McLaren relationship A Name Changes, but the Goal Remains the Same: Board of Trustees Supporting Quality Healthcare and Its Benefactors, Right Here at Home Most hospitals have their own fundraising arm, and Northern Michigan Regional Health System Foundation (soon to be known as McLaren–Northern Michigan Foundation) remains totally independent and dedicated to furthering the emerging needs and aims of our hospital and affiliates. The Foundation will continue to exercise its flexibility and autonomy as it responds to the needs of the Hospital, its regional affiliates, and the primary and seasonal residents of its region through a variety of fundraising opportunities like VitalCare Hospice Care. Assets, revenue, and charitable contributions will be used solely for the betterment of McLaren–Northern Michigan. The McLaren Story: Embracing Our New Healthcare Paradigm The Foundation celebrates the new relationship with McLaren Health Care for the increased financial, medical, and professional strengths which it brings to our organization. Brands are built on customer experience, and it is because of the excellent care that we provide here that the McLaren name will soon be synonymous in our region with quality and excellence. “We will realize many advantages by joining a larger health system,” says Reezie DeVet, McLaren– Northern Michigan President & CEO. “Most significantly, we will enhance our long-term sustainability at a time when independent hospitals are struggling to survive.” Access to capital, enhanced buying power, recruitment opportunities, and cost savings will all result from the new relationship. McLaren was named among the top 25 Integrated Health Networks in America in 2011 by SDI and its National Committee for Quality Assurance Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) scores for health management success are among the highest in the nation. In this way, the McLaren strategic vision complements our own long-term quality goal: the pursuit of continuing excellence. Ham Schirmer – chair H.

Even though he was wearing a helmet, Carlos Fernandez had suffered a serious brain injury and his prognosis would be anything but certain. “ Carlos received excellent care because of the generosity of donors who funded the state-of-the-art equipment, technology, staff training, and facilities, from which we benefited greatly. The Hospital needs our donations to continue offering the highest quality care to patients — to be ready ” and available when someone else needs it. — peggy fernandez 4 nmh-foundation.org · 231.487.3500 Once admitted to Northern Michigan Regional Hospital, Fernandez received multiple CT scans to determine the nature of his injury. His neurosurgeon was anything but hopeful. By 11:30 p.m. on the night of the accident, the family was told the news: there was about a 5% chance of surviving the surgery due to the severity of the injury, but he was willing to operate in an attempt to save the patient. Following neurosurgery, Carlos Fernandez lay in the Hospital for weeks, his condition critical. Finally, almost two months after the family had come to northern Michigan for a Christmas ski trip, Carlos was stable enough to be discharged to rehabilitation. “No one plans for a tragedy like ours,” says Peggy Fernandez, Carlos’ wife. “On the first day, I kept wishing we had been near a large city with a big hospital,” Peggy adds. “But I soon realized just how incredibly blessed we were to be 15 minutes from Petoskey.” It is this story — one of professional dedication and unflinching emotional support — that Peggy Fernandez wishes to share. “Against all odds, Northern Michigan Regional Hospital not only saved my husband’s life, but also the person we knew and loved.” During the 56 days that the Fernandez family spent at Carlos’ ICU bedside, they became well acquainted with many Hospital colleagues. “They supported me and my family in ways that we never expected,” Peggy says. “We came to know the heart and soul of Northern Michigan Regional Hospital — from doctors and nurses who worked so hard through Carlos’ ups and downs, to the security guards and cleaning staff. We could not have been in a better place for such a horrible thing to happen.” Today, “Carlos is back to golfing and getting better at it each time,” Peggy adds. “And he is very close to getting his driver’s license back.” If there is a lesson to take from their experience, the Fernandez family believes that it concerns charitable contributions to the Hospital. “Carlos received excellent care because of the generosity of donors who funded the state-of-the-art equipment, technology, staff training, and facilities, from which we benefited greatly,” says Peggy Fernandez. “The Hospital needs our donations to continue offering the highest quality care to patients — to be ready and available when someone else needs it.” Fred Koehler Cincinnati and Walloon Lake Prostate Cancer Survivor Foundation Donor Fred Koehler is well known to Foundation and Hospital supporters. As a trustee and fundraiser, Fred is representative of the type of energetic and altruistic individuals who make things happen. But he is also a frequent patient of Northern Michigan Regional Hospital. In memory of bill sAal Harbor Springs and Cincinnati VitalCare Hospice Care Foundation Donor ”My life is full of good memories, and thanks to Hospice, I can go on with good memories,” explains Betsy Saal. Betsy and Bill Saal summered in Harbor Springs for forty years, and their relationship with the Hospital goes back to the early 1980s when Bill was approached to help with the Foundation. “We liked the Hospital A resident of Cincinnati and Walloon and had always had a good experience,” Lake, Fred has been in the area for many of his procedures, both planned and unplanned. says Betsy. But their experiences were about to take a momentous change in 2009 when Perhaps the most serious of them occurred Bill was diagnosed with melanoma cancer. on Walloon Lake in 1978 when Fred was severely injured by a powerboat.

Ham Schirmer, Foundation Board Chair and Foundation donor, has a long history with the Hospital. A lifelong summer resident of Burt Lake — year around for the past seven years — Schirmer even remembers early founders Dr. Burns and his son Dean. But it was his experience as a husband and a patient that defines his relationship with Northern Michigan Regional Hospital. Ham’s first wife, Alice, was diagnosed with cancer at the Hospital and later passed away in 2004. “The Hospital was fabulous,” he says. Ham, himself, was a candidate for hip replacement surgery in December, 2011. “I needed it before,” he laughs, but Orthopaedic Surgeon, Ronald Ronquist, MD, agreed to wait until after hunting season. “It was a marvelous experience,” he says, “including pre-op, post-op, the Joint Clinic, the nurse liaison program, and VitalCare home visits. I was impressed with the whole experience, from start to finish,” he says. A longtime Foundation donor and Board member, his most significant financial gift was made after his “best pal,” David E. Davis, Jr, died, and Schirmer donated funds for a room at the Demmer Wellness Pavilion to be named in his friend’s memory. “I felt that this fine person deserved to be remembered always,” he says.

Congenital heart disease, for example, is a structural heart disease that is present at birth. A Structural Heart Program will focus on treating heart valve disorders and structural heart defects at Northern Michigan Regional Hospital, without requiring patients to travel elsewhere for surgeries, treatments, and follow-up care. “Developing a Structural Heart Program is important for the region’s patients,” says Cardiologist, Louis Cannon, MD. “Unlike traditional open heart surgical prcedures, it allows us to address this important need with minimally invasive techniques and state-of-the-art imaging capabilities right here at home.” A comprehensive Structural Heart Program offers treatment strategies that address all types of structural heart disease: minimally invasive valve surgery, peripheral aortic valve replacement, left atrial appendage occlusion, patent foramen ovale closure, percutaneous treatment for mitral valve regurgitation, and renal sympathetic-nerve ablation. “Statistically, heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in our region,” says Cannon. “Funding the Structural Heart Program is the obvious next step for a nationally-recognized regional heart and vascular facility like Northern Michigan Regional Hospital.” How can you help: The Structural Heart Program would include necessary facility renovations, purchase of imaging technology, recruitment, and training of existing staff. The fundraising goal is $3.6 million. To make a donation or for more information about donor naming opportunities, call 231.487.3500. FOUNDATION AND Friends 7 planned giving The Joan Jensen Haupricht Endowment Fund: The Forever Gift “To meet Joan was to like her. To know her was to love her!” — Friends of Joan O varian cancer can be notoriously difficult to diagnose and often goes undetected until symptoms are very advanced. The Haupricht family of Cedarville learned firsthand this frightening aspect of the disease. In 1996, Paul and Joan Haupricht were visiting friends in Montana when Joan began to experience severe pelvic pain. A perceptive doctor there strongly advised Joan to have tests done in Salt Lake City, where it was confirmed that she was a strong suspect for ovarian cancer and should have immediate surgery. Joan decided to have her procedure at Northern Michigan Regional Hospital in order to be closer to family. During the eighteen months in which Joan’s disease ran its course, she struggled to find information about ovarian cancer written for the general population. “She was very frustrated because she couldn’t find materials written specifically for patients,” says Paul Haupricht. “She would go to the Hospital nurses’ offices and look at their libraries, but the information available was written for medical professionals.” This experience, as well as the remarkable care that Joan received from Hospital physicians and nurses, became the impetus for the Joan Jensen Haupricht Endowment Fund. The endowment fund was established after she passed from ovarian cancer in 1997 so that educational resources would always be available for oncology patients. Paul, a retired school psychologist, and Joan both believed that education should be available to all people. The oncology mini-library and nursing student scholarships were created with their belief in mind, both of which are funded by the endowment. “The Haupricht Endowment is a reflection of their dedication to education and the Hospital,” says Julie Jarema, Foundation Senior Director of Development. “We will see the benefits of their kindness and generosity in countless ways — through nursing education and the patient care that follows.” IN THEIR OWN WORDS: Two Scholarship Recipients JOHN Binko was inspired to become an oncology nurse while observing Hospital staff who positively impacted his father’s life when he was diagnosed with cancer, and later became a cancer survivor. During that time, John became passionate about patient care and realized that he wanted to become a nurse. Working in the oncology unit as a Patient Care Tech (PCT), John earned praise from his patients and Hospital colleagues. With the help of the Joan Jensen Haupricht Fund, John enrolled at North Central Michigan College in 2010 and will earn his nursing degree this year. “This scholarship has allowed me to fully concentrate on my education. I am very thankful to the Hauprichts.” DAWN SAGER joined the Hospital’s oncology unit as a PCT in January 2002. As the sole provider for her family, the opportunity to further her education and advance her career would be life-changing. The endowment fund allowed her to enroll in the Kirtland Community College Nursing Program where she earned her Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) certification and will earn her Registered Nurse (RN) degree. “This scholarship has changed my life. I owe so much to the Haupricht family and to my Hospital colleagues who encouraged me to pursue my education.” Are you interested in creating an endowment fund? A financial endowment begins with a minimum donation of $50,000 that is invested so that the principal remains intact for a designated period of time or in perpetuity. An endowment is the gift that keeps on giving. For details, contact Julie Jarema at 231.487.4811 or [email protected].
