2008 Report
to the Community
Steamboat
Springs,
Colorado
Our mission is to provide excellent healthcare
to our communities through safe,
personalized and quality services.
Current Success, Future Progress
Welcome to Yampa Valley Medical Center’s
2008 Report to the Community, a sample of
the many services and programs we provide.
YVMC offers a breadth of services rarely
found in similar small communities. While
the environment for health care providers
continues to be a challenge, we feel very
proud of our ability to continue to grow
to meet the needs of northwest Colorado
residents and visitors.
Special recognition goes to our staff and
physicians, whose collective efforts were
recognized in 2007 by our patient satisfaction survey firm. For the fifth year in a row,
patient feedback placed YVMC in the top
ten of the 300 hospitals surveyed nationally
by Avatar International, Inc.
In 2007, planning began in earnest for a
2
Y a mp a V a l l e y M e d i c a l C e n t e r
facility expansion to double the size of our
Family Birth Place and build an additional
operating suite and minor procedure area.
The expansion will also alleviate some of the
crowding that has resulted from our growth
since the campus opened in 1999.
Two new services began in early 2008.
Heart Center of the Rockies, a cardio-thoracic
specialty practice based in Fort Collins,
opened a full-time Steamboat Springs office
in January. To support this service, the
Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley
has assisted YVMC in upgrading diagnostic
capabilities and is working to develop
resources for future needs.
YampaWorks, a new program providing
a full-scale occupational medicine service
to large and small businesses, launched

Thanks for Being There
in February 2008. This is the only service
designed around the specific needs of
employers and employees.
At the end of 2007, Jane McLeod
completed her term as Chair of the Board of
Trustees and was succeeded by Sharon Gulley,
M.D. We thank Jane for her leadership during
a time of significant growth. As we continue
our commitment to quality care and service
development, YVMC is well-positioned to
take on the challenges of the future.

Board Chair
Throughout this report, we feature letters from patients
who share their thanks for the care they received at YVMC.
Dear Karl,
I want to personally thank you for the service my daughter
Bailey, age 6, received in your Emergency Room on Thursday
evening, March 15, 2007.
Specifically, I would like to thank David Wilkinson, MD, and
Jeannie Karren, RN. Their kindness, competence and service
were great.
As a fellow Hospital Administrator, I know the service
issues that patients and families can encounter in an ER
experience. Karl, please know that we left our townhome for
your ED shortly before 6 p.m. and were back having dinner
by 7:15 p.m.
Excellent work and service by all! Thanks again for being
there for my family. Keep
up the great work!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey D. Nowlin

Patient satisfaction comes
first at YVMC. Jeannie Karren
and Annabelle Fisher are two of our registered nurses who helped
YVMC earn the Avatar International Five Star Service Award for
Overall Best Performer.
Presented in February 2007, the award places YVMC among the
top 10 hospitals in Avatar’s national database for the fifth year in a
row. Our Emergency Department was also honored for top service.

Baby, We’re Growing!
Those bright little bundles of pink and
blue continue to arrive in record numbers.
Spurred by the ever-rising birth rate, YVMC
will break ground in 2008 to double the space
for the Family Birth Place, which includes the
Special Care Nursery.
The emphasis is on enhanced comfort,
privacy and support in a family-friendly design.
Features include a new family waiting room, a
lactation consultation room and an expanded
area for healthy babies and the Special Care
Nursery. Spacious rooms will accommodate a
support person for each mother.
Often, mothers are moved to the Medical/
Surgical unit for care after their babies
arrive due to overcrowding in the current
space. We anticipate being able to care for
all maternity patients within the expanded
Family Birth Place.

Y a mp a V a l l e y M e d i c a l C e n t e r
Expansion is also planned for the surgery
department, another area of steady growth. As
our surgeons continue to perform more cases
and more complicated surgeries, a fourth
operating room is needed. Additionally, two
new suites for minor procedures will offer
patients a less-intensive environment.
Construction crews are poised to begin
excavating and raising walls as soon as
the snow melts in the spring of 2008. The
two major building additions and a series
of internal remodeling projects will be
completed in 2009.
Not all of our expansion requires new
construction; numerous programs and services
are growing within existing space. A prime
example is cardiology. The valley’s first fulltime cardiologist, Dr. William Baker, arrived
in January 2008.
Family Birth Place staff welcomed a record number of newborns in
2007 and eclipsed the previous monthly record with 59 deliveries in
October. Pictured are Chip Parfitt, RN, of the Special Care Nursery,
Mary Gills, NNP, and Meg Widmer, RN, labor-delivery nurse.
Crews constructed an access route to facilitate an early spring
groundbreaking for the YVMC expansion.
The YampaWorks team includes Meg Montgomery, RN, BSN,
Ted Morton, CPTA, and Linda Starks, MSN, NP-C.
Cardiac Rehab Coordinator Susan Cowan, RN, MN, and
Medical Director William Baker, MD. Dr. Baker is the
region’s first full-time cardiologist.
As YVMC’s Medical Director of Cardiology,
Dr. Baker is overseeing the well-established
Cardiac Rehab program at SportsMed and
developing programs that can be supported
with a full-time cardiologist in the community.
YampaWorks launched the region’s first
comprehensive occupational medicine program
in February 2008. Director Ted Morton,
physicians specializing in occupational medicine
and YampaWorks staff provide needed services
to employers and their staffs, including:
■ Occupational physical exams and injury
management
■ Diagnostic services – from pulmonary
function tests to pain management
■ Drug and alcohol screening
■ Preventive services such as functional
capacity evaluations and ergonomic job
site evaluations
Treated with Special Care
Mr. Gills,
I am writing to you to thank you for the wonderful
experience my family had at your medical center. On June
19, 2007 I went into premature labor. From the moment I
entered Yampa Valley Medical Center I was treated by the
kindest and most helpful medical professionals.
My newborn son was treated with special care. I would
like to thank everyone I remember: Edie, JoAnne, Suzie,
Chip, Heather, Darlene, Amanda, Susan, Meg, Jeanne, Char,
Michelle, Ruth and Victoria.
Doctors Palmer, Bowman and Ahlmeyer all were absolutely amazing and made coming to Steamboat Springs
midway through my pregnancy such an easy transition. A
special thank you to Doctors Harner and Harrington and
their staff for taking special care of Kasen and me.
You are fortunate to have so many caring employees.
Nothing compares to how I was treated at your facility.
My deepest gratitude!

Technology Drives Advancements in Care
Medical care and technology are as
interdependent as skiing and snow. A
commitment by YVMC to purchase the latest
equipment and put it in the capable hands
of our healthcare professionals adds up to
continual advancements in care.
With strong support from our Healthcare
Foundation for the Yampa Valley, YVMC was
able to enhance cancer diagnosis and improve
nuclear medicine studies in 2007.
Pathologist William F. Cox, Jr., M.D.,
expanded his field of vision with a 12.1megapixel microscope camera attachment.
He can magnify the cells, view them on a
full-screen monitor and consult with Denver
colleagues who see the images simultaneously. The camera is an important tool in
6
Y a mp a V a l l e y M e d i c a l C e n t e r
diagnosing numerous serious diseases.
The new nuclear medicine camera
produces superior images and a more
comfortable experience for patients. Exam
times have been reduced by half, said YVMC
Lead Nuclear Technologist Kevin Chapman.
Nuclear medicine studies provide vital
information about bones and organs; they
also measure the effect of cancer treatments
on the heart.
A new program at SportsMed relies on
technology to help determine the causes
and extent of incontinence and pelvic pain.
Biofeedback is an important part of the
individualized therapy that helps adults and
children take control of their lives by gaining
control of their bladders.
Kevin Chapman demonstrates YVMC’s new gamma camera used for
nuclear medicine studies.

Tracie Line, NNP, obtains an oxygen reading on Shane Rocco
Mariano for a research study on how altitude affects newborns.
The Nurses were Outstanding
Technology plays a role in a study that may
one day guide care standards for healthy babies
born at moderate altitudes. YVMC Neonatal
Nurse Practitioner Tracie Line, with assistance
from Jane Dickinson, YVMC Diabetes Education
Program Director, recruited Brigham Young
University and Intermountain hospitals in
Utah to lead the study in which several
mountain-town hospitals are participating.
Line hopes to discover and publish
the oxygen-saturation norm for healthy
newborns. “We want this study to benefit
the worldwide medical community, not just
our little corner of northwest Colorado,” she
said. “This could have an impact on all babies
born in the Rocky Mountain West and at
similar altitudes around the world.”
Dear Mr. Gills,
I want to express my sincere thanks to all the staff for the
excellent care I received during my recent hip replacement
surgery on August 16, 2007.
My surgeon was Michael Sisk. He was superb and
gave me great confidence and care. All the nurses
were outstanding but there was
one nurse that I would like to
commend.
Carrie Hoover was on the
night-shift for most of my stay.
When she entered my room
I never had to ask her to do
something. She always knew
exactly what I needed without
me saying anything. She was
very efficient and at the same
time demonstrated exceptional
caring and medical ability.
I am very grateful for the

Cancer Services Growing to Meet Needs
Sharon Schoening feels blessed that the
care she requires is available at Yampa Valley
Medical Center. “I didn’t even know that
cancer services were here until I needed
them,” she said.
YVMC has been providing chemotherapy
and other cancer care services since 1990.
Registered nurse Jan Fritz, who has coordinated the program on a part-time basis
since the beginning, is now the new full-time
Director of Cancer Services at YVMC.
“The dimensions of cancer care have grown
and the treatment options have become
more complex,” said Karl Gills, CEO. “Jan’s
commitment enables us to take the next step
in enhancing the total care experience for our
cancer patients.”
The need for cancer care continues to
grow in the Yampa Valley. YVMC patients are
well-served by the oncologists who provide
8
Y a mp a V a l l e y M e d i c a l C e n t e r
advanced care and the latest treatments. Dr.
Allen Cohn and Dr. Robert Rifkin practice at
Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers in Denver
and regularly see patients in Steamboat.
As medical treatment evolves, Jan also
looks beyond the disease to what she
considers the most important thing: how the
patients are going to live with cancer.
“We do everything we can to keep our
patients in the best place they can be,
addressing their physical, emotional, and
nutritional needs,” Jan explained.
For example, physical therapy and treatment of lymphedema, both offered at
YVMC’s SportsMed, can help counteract the
effects of cancer. Just a few steps across the
hall, patients can get free information on
current cancer research at the Community
Health Resource Center.
For the few cancer-related services that
YVMC’s patients find comfort in a warm and soothing environment
at the Infusion/Chemotherapy Center.

guidance and support. Julie Isaacs, a longtime
radiologic technologist and mammographer
at YVMC, was named Women’s Imaging
Coordinator in 2007. Julie helps women
navigate through the system when followup diagnostic imaging is needed.
Sharon Schoening is grateful to be able to
stay so close to home for her care, which she
calls remarkable.
“My surgery was immediate, every question I have is answered, and everyone is very
compassionate. I have had overwhelming
support,” she said.
“The whole town of Hayden has rallied for
me, helping me get to my chemo treatments
and bringing us meals. I can’t imagine having
to travel all the way to Denver when you
have cancer.”
I would like to thank Jan Fritz, Terri Hawkins, Shannon
Sheldon, Tina Wilkerson and Lynn Jones in the Infusion/
Chemotherapy Center, where I have spent the last
six months undergoing treatment.
I must say this is the best facility, with state-of-theart equipment and
quality care that I
believe is unsurpassed in the state.
The staff and
surgeons in your
outpatient surgery
department have
treated me with
the utmost respect
and dignity and

them is an Angel who helped me through a most difficult
time. They treated me as a person, rather than a number.
Please share with all the nurses and Drs. McCaulley and

excellent care and their obviously deep commitment to
their work.

Volunteers “STAR” at YVMC
Our 200 volunteers make a difference
every day at YVMC, providing an invaluable
resource for patients and staff. In 2007 we
introduced two new programs.
STAR stands for Safety Teaching using
Auxiliary Resources. The STAR service helps
patients to become active participants in
their health care. YVMC Auxiliary volunteers
sit down with patients and encourage them
to be educated, involved and curious.
“We hope to break down the barriers
between patients and care providers,” said
Linda Casner, Senior Director of Patient Safety
and Clinical Education and founder of STAR.
“It’s a way for patients to feel more in control
in a place where they may feel vulnerable.”
On the outpatient side, the SportsMed
Players have raised the level of service at our
physical therapy and rehabilitation center.
“Not only do they allow our therapists
and aides to spend more time with patients,
10
Y a mp a V a l l e y M e d i c a l C e n t e r
they enhance our welcoming atmosphere,”
said Peggy Van Vliet, SportsMed clinic
coordinator and Players founder.
SportsMed Players prepare hot and ice
packs, clean tables and equipment, and
restock supplies. They also greet patients,
bring reading materials and offer moral
support.
The Players are a great fit with our
“SportsMed spirit,” an upbeat atmosphere
that helps the healing process.
Many Auxiliary members devote time to
the Rubber Ducky Race, a popular fundraiser.
The thousands of duckies that swam down
the Yampa River allowed thousands of
dollars to be poured into a complete remodel
of the family waiting room on the Patient
Care Unit.
For information about volunteer opportunities at YVMC, call 970-879-1146 or visit
www.yvmc.org.
SportsMed Player Ann Ross offers comfort to patient Kelly Proudley,
while Physical Therapist Tracy Parcheta works on her knee.
The Yampa Valley Medical Center Auxiliary, Healthcare Foundation
for the Yampa Valley and Irene Nelson Interiors funded a remodeling
of the family waiting room at YVMC in 2007. Pictured left to right:

and Lee Gamble.
Mya Boehm and her Special Friend, J.D. Gifford, celebrate her
4th birthday at the Doak Walker Care Center.
Creating A Community
We never stop wanting to give back. This cornerstone
of the national Eden Alternative philosophy is embraced
by residents at the Doak Walker Care Center who
continue to find meaningful ways to help others.
On Denim Day, staff members pay for the privilege of
wearing jeans to work, and the elders donate proceeds
to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer
research. Funds generated at an annual holiday crafts
and bake sale have purchased phone cards for our troops
overseas and assisted with multiple sclerosis research.
The newly renamed Community Life department
enriches the lives of our residents. A men’s group lunches
together monthly. Elders host wedding and baby
showers for staff, dispensing sage advice and well wishes.
A “getting to know you lunch” welcomes new residents.
Our monthly activities calendar, planned with input
from residents, includes plenty of interactions with
the infants, toddlers and preschoolers who attend our
on-site GrandKids Child Care Center. Whether enjoying
ice cream socials or spontaneous hugs, everything feels
better when generations are growing together.
An Amazing Team
Dear Staff of ICU at Yampa Valley Medical Center,
We would like to thank you from the bottom
of our hearts for the wonderful care and extra TLC
you gave Brendan after his snowboarding injury.
Special thanks go to Dr. Allen Belshaw, nurses
Melissa Uchitelle-Rogers and Annabelle Fisher,
and case manager Jane Howell.
Your expertise and kind, caring manner were
so gratefully appreciated. You are an amazing
team and a credit to your profession.
Now that we are back home in Canada we
reflect back on how his unfortunate accident was
eased by so many who cared.
Thank you,
Dawne & Ben Lucas (& Brendan too)

Comment on patient survey
So in comes my savior, Dr. Jim Summers. All I can say is wow!
He was knowledgeable, smart, a great surgeon, and had a
perfect bedside manner. He even gave me tips on the things I
was still able to do post-op to salvage the rest of my vacation.
I’m very thankful to have had such a great OB/Gyn.

As I am nearing full recovery from my “little bicycle incident”
in June, I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to the

during my stay at YVMC. Being away from home, I was very
grateful for the care, understanding and support through
what was a difficult time.
David Currie ~ Houston, Texas
Dr. Jennifer Kempers was very pleasant and knowledgeable.
Her treatment was the very best! After each examination
Dr. Kempers stated that I was doing great, and left me no
unanswered questions. She even wrote the names of all my
medications on my tablet so I could tell my primary physician
what I was given.

Patient Financial Counselors Kris Seybold and Stephanie Courson
guide patients through the process to qualify for charity care and
other financial assistance programs provided by YVMC.
Non-Profit, No Tax Support
What does non-profit mean? At Yampa
Valley Medical Center, it means:
■ Receiving no tax support.
■ Providing $2.25 million in charity care in
2007.
■ Using all revenues in excess of costs to
develop medical services.
■ Offering a generous financial assistance
program for patients.
■ Providing numerous programs that
benefit the community.
Northwest Colorado’s only non-profit,
non-tax-supported medical center, YVMC
depends solely on patient care revenue and
charitable gifts.
YVMC needs to maintain a positive margin
as any business does. Our margin is generally
at or below national recommendations for
small and rural hospitals.
14
Y a mp a V a l l e y M e d i c a l C e n t e r
These funds are used to:
■ Keep nurse-to-patient ratios well above
national standards
■ Retain and recruit qualified staff
■ Purchase state-of-the-art medical
equipment
■ Add new services
■ Enhance existing programs
■ Maintain the buildings and campus
■ Expand to meet future needs
Our financial performance is achieved
while maintaining overall charges and
expenses below comparable hospitals and
state averages, according to Colorado
Hospital Association data.
Through careful management and community support, YVMC will continue to
provide quality care while meeting the
financial challenges that all hospitals face.

Forever Grateful
To YVMC,
Just a note of thanks and appreciation
for your wonderful health care providers
and for all the help that Kris Seybold,
a patient account representative, has
given me.
After losing my medical insurance, I
hoped nothing serious would land me in
the hospital, but unfortunately that was
not to be.
I told Kris that my husband and I had
both retired and the rest of our money
problems. She is an angel and helped me
so much. I’m forever grateful.
Thank you ever so much,
Diane Gama
Rio Rancho, New Mexico
Above and Beyond
To the Billing Office personnel,
Thank you for all of your attention to
Ron’s billing and insurance information.
You have gone above and beyond to get
the billing corrected and taken care of.
Too often the people behind the scenes
don’t get credit at all. Karen BrantWachsman did such a fantastic job with
a complex insurance situation. Thank
you for your effort and results!

Thank you notes emailed through our web site, www.yvmc.org.
I was treated in the ER in October 2007, later in the evening. Ann Compton
was my nurse and Dr. Laura Sehnert was my physician. They were both very
attentive and sympathetic to my issues, being very professional at the same
time. I cannot tell you what a difference it makes when you don’t feel well to
be treated with such care!
Kimberly Cardille ~ Steamboat Springs
To Annabelle Fisher, Connie Andrews and Mona Warren:
Annabelle: Just a quick note to thank you for your loving and conscientious
care during my stay in your hospital December 31, 2007. You are particularly
compassionate, careful and professional in your care. I very much appreciate it.
Mona: Nights are especially difficult for patients but you made me feel
comfortable and safe. Your nursing skills are superb but your personal interest
in me and my welfare was extraordinary.
Connie: You were so thoughtful of me and my needs that you could have
been my sister. Your enthusiasm for the comfort of your patients is special. I
am so glad I was a beneficiary of your work.
I am home, safe, sound and well. Thank you again and may your 2008 be
blessed!
Karen Grubaugh ~ Boerne, Texas
I just wanted to let you know that during the stay I had at YVMC for my
knee replacement surgery in July 2007, the nurses and nursing assistants were
the best ever.
Everyone that I encountered, from the housekeeping staff to the CNAs
to the nurses to the doctors, was just wonderful. I should also include the
admissions staff that pre-registered me and the physical therapy staff. YVMC
is the place to stay if you need to be hospitalized.
Debra Crouch ~ Hot Sulphur Springs
I was a day surgery patient in August 2007. I just wanted to say thank
you for the professional, caring way you treated me during what was an
emotionally trying time for my husband and I. I was in contact with people
in admissions, the lab, and of course everyone in day surgery, nurses, doctors
and anesthesia.
The process was smooth, everyone was compassionate and again,
professional. I would love it if you would forward this email to all appropriate
departments and to anyone else who might like to know what a top-notch
facility you have!

Working in partnership – investing in critical health
care for our communities
Each year, it is important to pause and assess what we
are achieving and determine our goals for the future.
Yampa Valley Medical Center is constantly looking to the
future, identifying emerging needs, such as new portable
ultrasound equipment, an upgraded CT scanner to expand
cardiology service, an enhanced chemotherapy service,
nursing education to help address the shortage of RNs and
to upgrade their skills and expanding facility needs. We at
the Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley embrace
and support this vision by developing new programs and
partnerships that will allow all of us to have the opportunity
to be part of this exciting investment in our future.
We know that by working together we can achieve
our goals. It is a philosophy that starts at home with everincreasing collaboration among our board members,
physicians, nurses, employees and administrators, and
extends to our growing number
of partnerships with generous
donors, volunteers, corporations
and organizations.
The future is here and with
everyone’s help, it is ours! YVMC
is the one community nonprofit organization that has the
potential to touch the lives of
every resident and visitor. Please
become our partner in this exciting
and important journey.
“Because life is precious, we encourage giving to life and
a lifetime of giving.” ~ Anonymous
Thank you for your support in giving the gift of health!

About the Foundation
The Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa
Valley helps Yampa Valley Medical Center to
purchase medical equipment and provide
life-saving services and programs. It has a
vital and continuing role in preserving and
enhancing services.
Established in 2001, the Foundation is a
non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity. It provides
financial support for the non-profit Yampa
Valley Medical Center, which does not receive
any tax assistance and relies on charitable
donations. As the principal fundraising body
for YVMC, the Foundation is dedicated to
working with the community to improve the
quality of life for this and future generations
of families and others in need of quality
healthcare.
In an era of rising demand and costs that
YVMC faces for providing care, the challenge
20
H e a l t hc a r e F o u n d a t i o n f o r t h e Y a mp a V a l l e y
for the Foundation is not only to maintain
community support for YVMC, but also
to increase it. To achieve this goal, the
Foundation is committed to the pursuit of
excellence in the quality of YVMC’s services,
efficient fundraising, cost-effectiveness,
integrity, accessibility and good governance
and administration.
OUR VISION: To be renowned for creating
innovative and effective fundraising and
awareness campaigns for the benefit of
Yampa Valley Medical Center.
To support the premier regional medical
center of northwest Colorado, Yampa Valley
Medical Center, in order to provide those
medical services where we can achieve
excellence and create a dedicated referral
system.

Supporting Healthcare
Karen sat in a comfortable recliner bed, headphones piping
soothing music to her ears and an intravenous line pumping
lifesaving fluids into her body. A few hundred yards down the hall,
George sat in a lively and colorful dining room enjoying a vanilla
soft-serve ice cream cone, his wheelchair parked among a throng of
friends all enjoying life’s simple pleasure.
The high-tech Infusion/Chemotherapy Center and an oldfashioned ice cream machine have something in common – the
Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley – the organization that
helped fund the equipment that is improving the health and wellbeing of residents throughout northwest Colorado.
Donations enable the Foundation to support, establish or
expand many important projects and programs as well as purchase
equipment so that you and your loved ones can be cared for by your
community, in your community.
“The staff took excellent care of me. They became like family. A
scary situation became a very positive experience. After treatment
I didn’t always feel good and it made a big difference being able
to have this care in my own community where people could drop
by the chemo center and visit,” says Karen Schulman, professional
photographer and a patient of the Foundation-supported Infusion/
Chemotherapy Center.
The care Denny Swanson’s brother received from the Doak Walker
Care Center was as much about an ice cream social as it was the hightech, state-of-the-art equipment. In gratitude, Denny and his wife,
Joy, donated a soft-swirl ice cream machine to make the weekly ritual
of seniors joyfully sharing a tasty treat with giggling toddlers from
GrandKids Child Care Center even more special.
“We want to create a community with the residents, children
and staff, friends and family so life here is like home,” says Celia
Buckley, Doak Walker Care Center’s Community Life Coordinator.
“This generous donation helps create daily pleasures that are really
important ways to bring us together.”

The Healthcare Foundation also receives

health, medical, educational and charitable
purposes. The Foundation does not provide
philanthropic support for reimbursable patient
care expenses or the general operating budget.
Kathy and Steve Cain wanted to honor the memory
of their friend, Steamboat Springs builder Pat “Cowboy”
Nugent who died of melanoma, by raising money to help
others in Steamboat receive local cancer treatments. With
guidance from the Foundation, “Team Cain” received
donations to run in the Chicago Marathon. Their effort
brought nearly $10,000 for the Infusion/Chemotherapy
Center and for a new 12.1-megapixel camera to aid YVMC
pathologist Dr. William F. Cox Jr. in diagnosing cancerous
tumors and other diseases.
“This technology is what you find in large metropolitan
hospitals,” Dr. Cox says. “Now we have it here thanks to this
donation augmenting the cancer care abilities of YVMC. This
type of community support has an enormous impact.”
Many programs and services offered by Yampa Valley
Medical Center rely primarily on philanthropy for their
continued existence, and others count on gifts to enhance or
expand their programs. Countless lives have been touched
through the initiatives of the Healthcare Foundation for the
Yampa Valley.
“We wouldn’t be able to serve the number of people or
provide the level of services without donor support,” says
Beth Staunton, occupational therapist for YVMC’s Pediatric
Therapy Services at SportsMed about the Foundation’s
assistance.

Don Lufkin with his daughter, Vikki Franz.
It All Comes Back - A Lifetime of Giving
He may not have consciously decided to
create a legacy, but the mark that 84-year-old
Don Lufkin leaves on the Steamboat Springs
community is indelible.
A special cause Don has embraced over much
of his life has been the hospital. A director
on the board of the former Routt Memorial
Hospital, Don supported the community effort
to build the facility in the 1940s. As board chair,
he oversaw the hospital’s 1976 expansion that
established a modern emergency department,
radiology department and operating room. He
also helped raise funds in 1979 to incorporate
the community nursing home into the hospital
and again contributed to the capital campaign
that saw the new hospital, Yampa Valley Medical
Center, become a reality in 1999.
“It all comes back,” Don told a newspaper
reporter when he was being honored by the
Yampa Valley Community Foundation as the
2000 Philanthropist of the Year. Don was
referring to the kindness his father showed an
orphaned drifter who worked on his family’s
26
H e a l t hc a r e F o u n d a t i o n f o r t h e Y a mp a V a l l e y
ranch. Later in life, this same worker returned
the favor when Don found himself in great need.
That lesson has stayed with Don.
The spirit of giving was passed down to Don
from his grandmother, Ida Dupiere, who came to
Steamboat Springs in 1902 and homesteaded the
Lufkin ranch on Highway 40 where Don worked
for more than 60 years. She donated the land to
build the Mesa Schoolhouse where Don would
graduate and many years later become a major
benefactor in its purchase and rehabilitation.
Don’s philanthropy cuts a wide swath through
the valley with abundant awards, recognitions
and yellowed newspaper clippings filling several
scrapbooks alongside cherished family photos
and mementos. His humble benevolence speaks
to the heart of our community.
Now a resident of the Doak Walker Care
Center, the same nursing home he helped save,
Don says he is proud of his accomplishments.
Grinning with pleasure during the center’s
weekly ice cream social, he says unequivocally,
“It’s important to leave a legacy.”
Donations
Giving Trees
We gratefully acknowledge our generous contributors who continue to
make a difference.
Some of our largest contributions in 2007 came from Steve
Dawes for GrandKids’ playground equipment; Kris and Bill Bensler;
and Alpine Bank assisted with event sponsorships. Our long-time
friend, Gloria Gossard, helped purchase a sensor machine to monitor
patients’ ventilation and oxygenation. The Regenstein Foundation
has consistently made donations to upgrade equipment for enhanced
patient care. Since her initial gift to help build the new Medical
Center, Franny Mervis continued her support in 2007. For six years
in a row, the Litterman Family Foundation has provided unrestricted
gifts for some of our greatest needs. Denny and Joy Swanson made a
generous donation to the Doak Walker Care Center in gratitude for
the care provided to their family member.
