Dear Friends, Our theme for the 2012 Annual Report is Community. The dictionary defines community as a group of people held together by a common cause or interest. The Foundation is then, by definition, a community. We only have to look to our community of members, donors, volunteers, colleagues and physicians to find inspiration and motivation. Forty years ago the La Porte community came together to build ONE hospital. A proud history of healthcare was created and continues today as we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of IU Health La Porte Hospital. It is that same community which made The Foundation a vital part of our healthcare landscape; ever striving to make the place we have chosen to live, work, raise a family and grow old a better place to call home. We THANK YOU for being part of our Community! This report highlights the impact of your gift - membership or charitable contribution. Be assured 100% of all gifts remain local to serve our community and 100% of your gift is spent for the purpose intended. Please take the time to review our annual report and contact us if you have any questions. Maria Fruth & Liz Kaminski pictured at Stone Lake Beach, La Porte Thank you for your support and your belief in the future of healthcare in our Community. All our best, M I S S I O N To support healthcare and healthy lifestyles in the communities we serve. V A L U E S Maria Fruth Executive Vice President/ Chief Operating Officer La Porte Hospital Foundation Liz Kaminski Chairperson, Board of Directors La Porte Hospital Foundation Excellence: show exceptional stewardship in all matters by acting with honesty and integrity. Collaboration: work in concert with donors, communities and healthcare providers. Commitment: dedicate ourselves to developing resources to achieve our mission. Compassion: be sensitive to the health issues and needs of the communities we serve. 1007 Lincolnway, P.O. Box 250, La Porte, IN 46352 | T 219.326.2471 iuhealth.org/laporte/foundation • 1 ANN RY A RS E IV A Culture of Giving A community is born and sustained through the work and gifts of others. This was evident when the La Porte community came together to build La Porte Hospital. This year IU Health La Porte Hospital is celebrating its 40th Anniversary. The La Porte Hospital Foundation congratulates the hospital for 40 years of providing exceptional healthcare to our community and would also like to acknowledge the culture of giving that began at that time. Ben Bortz was selected as Campaign Chairman and he set out into the community with a goal to raise $3 million of the $8 million needed to build La Porte Hospital. The community of La Porte heard the call and not only met the challenge of “We Are Going to Build a Hospital” but exceeded it. Working to achieve better healthcare for area residents, the community contributed over $3.5 million through 7,700 pledges. That same pride and culture of giving is still evident today as the community continues to support the mission of The Foundation. The generous gifts from many local organizations and individuals ensure healthcare and healthy lifestyles in our community for years to come. The La Porte Community should be proud of the accomplishments of 40 years ago. The funds they raised to build La Porte Hospital would equal more than $23 million in today’s dollars. That shows a strong commitment and caring for the health of our community. I am glad to see that same commitment and philanthropy of giving exists today. — G. Thor Thordarson, President/Chief Executive Officer IU Health La Porte Hospital 2 • 2012 La Porte Hospital Foundation Annual Report La Porte Hospital Foundation Honorary Life Member Linda Satkoski Honorary Life Memberships in the La Porte Hospital Foundation are bestowed sparingly as you can see from the list of Life Members below. They are given to those who unselfishly make noteworthy contributions to The Foundation. RECOGNIZING OUR HONORARY LIFE MEMBERS 1978-2012 M. Barbara Backer, MD Benjamin H. Bortz, Jr + Gene W. Burrows Ruby V. Dunfee + Charles T. Dye + James W. Fleming + Keith H. Jones + Robert W. Kepler, MD + John Klassen + Dr. Ross & Sue Lawrence Lillian R. Magnuson + David & Mary Ellen McCain Leigh E. Morris Hester J. W. Muller, MD Dr. Seth & Rose Philbrook Linda Satkoski Charles B. Shapiro + C. Jack & Betty Trickler + deceased Many people answer the call to become a nurse, but few have fully dedicated their lives to serving their patients and community in a way that Linda Satkoski has. Linda, who received her Bachelor’s degree in Nursing from the College of St. Francis and her Master’s in Administration Degree from the University of Notre Dame, began as a staff nurse at Pine Lake Division (formerly Community Hospital) in 1968. She recalls the day La Porte Hospital opened on September 24, 1972, and the staff at E Street (formerly Holy Family Hospital) and Pine Lake Division had to transfer patients to the new hospital. “We had discharged most of our patients before we transferred to La Porte Hospital,” recalls Linda. “But I can vividly remember climbing into the ambulance with the last patient from Pine Lake Division.” “When we came to La Porte Hospital, the thing I remember most was the all-private rooms. Patients had privacy and their own bathroom. It was like we had moved into the Ritz Carlton,” laughed Linda. “At Pine Lake Division we had some patient rooms with four beds divided by curtains, and bathrooms were limited.” At La Porte Hospital, Linda quickly rose through the ranks and was named Director of Patient Care Services in 1985 and then Vice President, Patient Care Services in 1996. Shortly after being named Senior Vice President Physician Relations/Patient Care Services in March 2005, Linda took over as President, CEO/CNO of IU Health Starke Hospital in 2009. In June 2012, Linda was promoted to Chief Operating Officer of IU Health La Porte Hospital System. In between her duties of improving patient care, Linda gave her time and support to The Foundation. Much like her background in nursing, she felt this was another way to give back and improve the health of our community. I joined The Foundation because it was the right thing to do... But I quickly realized it was a cause I believed in. I saw what The Foundation did and how it impacted our community. What The Foundation gives back is more than just for the necessities; it goes above and beyond to make life better for our patients. — Linda Satkoski, Foundation member since 1989 Linda has also gone above and beyond when it comes to The Foundation. At all of The Foundation special events, one would find Linda there volunteering. Her passion for a healthy community is evident by her support of The Foundation’s Heart and Endowment Campaigns. When it comes to The Foundation’s Scholarship Fund and assistance to the free community health screenings, Linda will talk to anyone about their importance and how they help to build a better future for our patients and community. “You just can’t ignore the needs that are met in our community through the efforts of The Foundation,” said Linda. “Because of the work they and countless others who volunteer their time do for our patients and community, I am honored and proud to have been chosen as an Honorary Life Member of The Foundation.” iuhealth.org/laporte/foundation • 3 IU Health VNA Services: providing compassionate care to our COMMUNITY When patients are facing end of life care, IU Health La Porte Hospital VNA Hospice are there for them and their families. This program offers compassionate care to people who are in the terminal stage of life and provides much needed support to the families and caregivers. Long before he was a Foundation Board Member, Carl Savich experienced first hand the impact VNA Services has on families in our community. In 1999, Carl’s wife Lori, experienced a grand mal seizure. As she received medical treatment for this episode, the family learned that Lori had a brain tumor. Over the course of the next year, Lori had brain surgery to remove the tumor, followed by radiation treatments. After a second surgery in 2000, she went into remission and the family was able to enjoy four “normal” years before the tumor returned in 2004. After countless unsuccessful medical treatments and surgery, the Savichs were introduced to VNA Hospice in the summer of 2005. Lori spent two months receiving VNA Hospice care before passing away in late 2005. During those last months, Carl recalls knowing that there was no “happy ending” in sight. Incredibly important to Carl was the realization the Hospice Nursing Staff would do all they could to ensure Lori was comfortable. Additionally, the VNA team offered round-theclock expertise to answer questions and provide support to Carl as he cared for Lori.

The way they cared and looked after her was incredible,” said Carl as he recalled the significant impact the caregivers made. “The VNA services were not limited to physical care. We received visits from Roger Ash, Hospice Chaplain as well. They truly cared not only about Lori’s physical needs but provided emotional and spiritual support to us both as well.” Not pictured: Justin Fitch, Kelli Bennett, Lindsey Morlan, Rochelle Wiggins, Alex Copil, Dolores Bulakowski, Michelle Engels, Mary Morgan, Dr. Edquist 4 • 2012 La Porte Hospital Foundation Annual Report The 18th Annual The compassion and helpful spirit of all the VNA staff was tremendous. When given the opportunity to get involved and give back – it’s important that you take that opportunity! – Carl Savich IU Health La Porte Hospital VNA Services never turns patients away, regardless of their ability to pay. For the past eighteen years, The Foundation has supported the endeavors of the IU Health La Porte VNA Services through funds raised at the annual Holiday at the Pops Concert and Hospice Mailing Campaign. Through the VNA Fund, The Foundation is able to provide financial assistance to make a difference in people’s lives. This difference may seem simple, but it is so important. The compassion and support of The Foundation donors also helps to provide for the little things that make the end of life comfortable and manageable, such as providing transportation services, chaplain visits and personal care items to help ease the challenges that multiply with a terminal patient. “Looking back, I never really had a clear picture of the importance of this service until after Lori passed away. The compassion and helpful spirit of all the VNA staff was tremendous,” stated Carl. Saturday, December 8 2012 Each December, The Foundation hosts the Holiday at the Pops Concert to benefit IU Health La Porte VNA Services (Home Health, Hospice and Skilled Care) and other philanthropic selections. This event has become known for the joy it brings to the community. This night features beautiful symphonic music featuring local talent. The December 8, 2012 event includes the La Porte County Symphony Orchestra (LCSO) directed by Maestro Philip Bauman, and performances by Kyrie Anderson, Cripple Creek, William Wolf, MD and special guest artists of LCSO. The Foundation is also excited to welcome IU Health La Porte Hospital Family Choir directed by Judge Kathleen Lang, former Foundation and Hospital Board Member. The IU Health La Porte Hospital Family Choir is comprised of community members who are directly connected to either IU Health La Porte Hospital or to The Foundation. We are excited for the first performance of this special group of IU Health La Porte Hospital Colleagues, Volunteers, Board Members and Foundation members. His experiences through the services provided to his family during their greatest time of need led to Carl’s decision to join the La Porte Hospital Foundation Board and give back to the community he loves dearly. “When given the opportunity to get involved and give back, it’s important that you take that opportunity!” Thank you for your support of IU Health La Porte VNA Services Make a plan to start a holiday tradition at the Pops Concert.

IU Health La Porte Hospital Case Management Team is very grateful for your support through the Samaritan Fund. Those funds make an incredible difference for our patients! Many of our patients do not have insurance and once they are discharged from the hospital, they IU Health La Porte Hospital Case Managers pictured at the La Porte Train Depot (L to R) Front row: Shawn Richards RN CNOR, Diane Witzel BSW MSW, Chris Rosenbaum BS MSA RN CCRN, Jessica Dickinson BSN RN, Brenda Caum MSN BSN RN (L to R) Back row: Kim Catron BSN RN BA LSW , Melissa Grcich BSN RN, Yvonne Bernat MSW LSW, Michelle Batson MSW LCSW ACM, Jill Sickinger RN, Leslee Roberts BSN RN CCM Not pictured: Rhonda Benson MSW LCSW, Joanna Clindaniel BS RN CCS, Danielle Jackson RN, Cathy Schutz RN, Alissa Sykora BS MSW LCSW CCM, Claudia Underwood are not able to purchase their medications. Being able to provide medications for a few days until we organize other resources is very appreciated by the patients and the case managers. Some of them do not have transportation. Especially during weekends, when public transportation is not an option, the Samaritan Fund is able to cover the costs of taking someone home. The list of needs is long and the Samaritan Fund assists us in closing this gap until other resources become available. As case managers, our role is to work with the patient’s entire healthcare team to assess, plan and help facilitate the right treatment plan. We want to ensure the patient has what he or she needs to continue getting well when they leave the hospital. Through this process we identify the patients who may not be able to continue their treatment plan because of financial reasons. That is when your gifts to the Samaritan Fund become so important. We are so grateful for your support. This fund has made a difference for so many of our patients. We can tell you from seeing first hand, your giving changes lives! -- IU Health La Porte Hospital Case Management Team 6 • 2012 La Porte Hospital Foundation Annual Report COLLEAGUES SERVING ON FOUNDATION COMMIT TEES 2011-2012 COMMUNITY of Colleague Committee Members Going above and beyond to support the mission of The Foundation At the heart of any community or organization are its people. The La Porte Hospital Foundation is fortunate to have a community of colleagues at IU Health La Porte Hospital who support and believe in the mission of The Foundation. Among this much appreciated group of colleagues are those who not only support The Foundation with their gifts, but also give their time and talents by serving on one of The Foundation’s committees. In addition to the colleagues listed who have given of their time to assist in the planning of events, membership drives and screening services, The Foundation depends on countless volunteers. They are integral to the The Foundation’s success. This spirit of giving flows throughout the hospital from all departments. Each year, many IU Health colleagues join together for the betterment of our community. The Foundation would like to thank these colleagues for helping to plan and run our events.

But if you have a family, it’s never too soon to create your estate plan. Of course, estate planning can seem like a daunting task. But you’ll find it easier to handle if you break it down into three key areas: distributing your assets, protecting your family and reducing estate taxes. Let’s look at these topics: Jonathan E. Salisbury, AAMS, is a Financial Advisor for Edward Jones. He is a board member for La Porte Hospital Foundation. Jonathan has been with Edward Jones for eight years. He lives in La Porte with his wife Brandy, and two children. • Distributing your assets — Obviously, it’s essential that you let your family know just how and to whom you’d like to see your assets distributed. At the very least, you’ll need to draw up a will. If you were to die without one, the state could end up distributing your resources, and it might do so in a way you wouldn’t have wanted. But even a will may not be sufficient. Many people design a living trust, which provides them with more flexibility in distributing assets. For example, you could direct your living trust to disperse assets to children or grandchildren at specific ages and allows assets to be distributed without going through the time-consuming and public probate process. • Protecting your family — Estate planning isn’t just about dollars and cents. It also involves taking the necessary steps to preserve the welfare of your family if you are not around or become incapacitated. Consequently, you’ll need to name a guardian for your minor children, someone who can step in and raise them should anything happen to you and your spouse. And when your children are adults, you’ll want to help them with decisions that could prove agonizing. For example, by creating a living will, you can state whether you want your life prolonged if you ever face a terminal illness or catastrophic brain injury and are no longer able to make decisions for yourself. By drawing up a healthcare power of attorney, you can name someone to make healthcare choices for you if you are unable to do so. • Reducing estate taxes — Depending on the size of your estate, your heirs may never have to worry about estate taxes. But that’s hard to predict, especially given the fact that federal estate laws have gone through several changes in recent years, and may do so again. Your best bet is to stay informed about the exemption level the amount you can pass on to your heirs, free of estate taxes and look for ways to reduce the size of your taxable estate. You could, for instance, make charitable gifts, thus moving these assets from your estate. You may also want to consider arrangements such as an irrevocable life insurance trust under which you can transfer a life insurance policy out of your estate and have the trust distribute the proceeds to the beneficiaries you’ve chosen or a credit shelter trust, which allows both you and your spouse to take full advantage of both your estate tax exemptions. A trust can be a complex instrument, so before establishing one, you’ll need to consult with your tax and legal advisors. In fact, you’ll want to consult with them on all aspects of estate planning. It will take time and effort, but it’s worth it to leave the type of legacy you desire. The Cornerstone Society recognizes people who have decided to enhance the future availability of healthcare in our community by including the La Porte Hospital Foundation in their wills or other deferred gifts in their estate planning. If you are interested in learning more about the Cornerstone Society or if you would like to inform The Foundation of your plans, please contact Maria Fruth, Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer of the La Porte Hospital Foundation at 219.326.2471 or e-mail [email protected].

Coach COMMUNITY Improving the Health of Our Preventative healthcare is vital to creating a healthier community. Routine check ups are one of the most important steps an individual can take to ensure proper health. Sadly, many people either cannot afford or do not have access to routine physicals. The La Porte Hospital Foundation knows that early detection of disease could save a person’s life. The Foundation Board of Directors agrees; each year they allocate funds for free community health screenings. “Over the years, the Wellness Outreach Team had the opportunity to positively impact thousands of community members through our free screenings and Lil’ F.I.S.H. Club®,” said Katie Sarver, Wellness Outreach Program Manger, IU Health La Porte Hospital. “We would not be able to provide such high quality screenings and services without the generous and continued support of The Foundation’s donors.” 2012 COMMUNITY SCREENINGS (January 1, 2012 – October 31, 2012) Cancer Screenings CERVICAL 89 participants; 3 abnormal pap results, 6 abnormal pelvic exams BREAST 227 participants; 20 abnormal exams, 56 referred for mammograms COLORECTAL 205 kits distributed; 107 kits returned, 7 encouraged to follow up with physician SKIN 53 participants; 9 recommended for biopsy/ follow up with physician PROSTATE 54 participants; 3 abnormal PSA and/or DRE Additional Screenings BLOOD PRESSURE 952 participants GLUCOSE 1,064 participants BONE DENSITY 517 participants For more information about community screenings or upcoming screening events, please contact IU Health La Porte Hospital Wellness Outreach at 219-326-2048. iuhealth.org/laporte/foundation • 9 For more information about the IU Health La Porte Community Health and Dental Centers or to find out if you qualify, please contact the medical office at 219.326.0043 or dental office 219.326.1943. COMMUNITY comes together for brighter smiles Most trips to the dentist are born out of the obligation we learned in our youth... brush, floss and visit your dentist twice a year. But more than 100 million Americans cannot visit the dentist because they lack dental insurance and can’t afford dental care or treatment. Due to financial constraints, some have put off dental care for so long that their dental health has become critical, even life-threatening. “People without dental insurance put off dental care until they have no other option,” explains Robert Grace, DDS. “They think they have to decide between paying for dental care or paying their mortgage and other bills. So they take care of their families and hope that the situation improves.” IU Health La Porte Dental Center Colleagues (L to R) Back row: Dr. Robert Grace, Dr. Ben Porter Middle row: Ashley Duschek, Debbie Lula, Felissa Craft, Kelly Owens, Toni Bradford Front row: Rebecca Howard, Juliet Sabie 10 • 2012 La Porte Hospital Foundation Annual Report Dr. Grace was in private practice for 23 years before joining IU Health La Porte Dental Center in 2005. He, along with Benjamin Porter, DDS, ensure members of our community have a better choice. Dr. Grace continues, “The situation worsens and due to the pain of decay or infection, they have no choice but to visit a dentist. They sit for an exam and they find out how much the cost of treatment will be, and they never go back. The treatment is cost prohibitive and without insurance they can’t afford the treatment that their dentist advises. In most cases in many communities, there is no other option. There is no Plan B.” Our Dental Center fills a vital niche in our community, ensuring that anyone without dental insurance not only has options for care and CHILDREN’S DENTAL SCREENINGS (August & September 2011) treatment, but that they receive quality services with utmost dignity and respect. 52 SCREENINGS TOTAL — Robert Grace, DDS 32 M20 F The IU Health La Porte Dental Center provides a Plan B. Since 1999, the Dental Center has offered access to dental care for those who might not otherwise be able to afford it and who lack dental insurance.

Through the years, the Auxiliary has been a foundation of volunteerism and support. It has proudly aided the hospital’s growth into the landmark of healthcare in our community. IU Health La Porte Hospital Auxiliary was created by the merging of Holy Family Hospital and Community Hospital auxiliaries over 40 years ago. From the very beginning, the newly merged auxiliary supported the new La Porte Hospital by giving $125,000 toward the new building’s fundraising drive. Forty-five years later, the Pink Ladies, as the auxiliary was once known, consists of both men and women from our community proudly wearing their red jackets; Candy Stripers are now referred to as Volunteens; and the gift shop once known as the Pink Geranium is now the Wishing Well Gift Shop. Although the names and faces have changed, the spirit of paying it forward by serving the hospital remains strong. IU Health La Porte Hospital’s Volunteer Program will continue to be one of our community’s most precious resources. 12 • 2012 La Porte Hospital Foundation Annual Report Marilyn Schnick presenting a gift from MCUSBCWBA to Thor Thordarson and Maria Fruth Partnering with local grantors for a better COMMUNITY 2012 GRANTS AWARDED GRANT NAME In our communities, one doesn’t have to look very far to find partners who share in The Foundation’s sense of community. In an effort to expand the La Porte Hospital Foundation’s ability to fulfill its mission of supporting health care and healthy lifestyles in our community, the community itself is our greatest partner. Through local philanthropic gifts and grants, we receive more than money. We receive affirmation that we are part of a strong local network focused on distinct local needs. A community is made up of groups with shared interest within a society. Improving the health of those in our community is clearly the tie that binds this community together. This is evident through funding from sources such as Tri-Kappa, The Matt Moore Foundation, 2 BigHearts Foundation, Michigan City United States Bowling Congress Women’s Bowling Association (MCUSBCWBA) and Unity Foundation of La Porte County. The funding provided through these partnerships extends the reach of The Foundation, impacting services such as prenatal care at the IU Health Community Health Center, cardiovascular screenings, mammography screenings and services, and other health and wellness benefits to the members of our communities most in need. Even through difficult economic times, MCUSBCWBA Chairperson Marilyn Schnick continues to seek support for women’s health in our county. “We think it is important to try to help out wherever we can, however we can,” she says. “We know times are tough, but we keep trying.” It is this spirit, this culture of philanthropy that The Foundation sees as one of the many things that makes this a special and unique community. Whether through charitable giving, volunteering, or partnering in numerous other ways, our community comes together during even the most difficult times and carries a legacy of philanthropy that has spanned generations.

These proceeds help fund healthcare scholarships for the communities served by Indiana University Health La Porte Hospital. Since 1983, our scholarships and awards have provided financial assistance to students pursuing careers in health science occupations. Through these scholarships, area students are encouraged to pursue health careers and colleagues are encouraged to “go to next level” of education. “The Foundation’s golf tournament has continued to positively impact local students to achieve their education goals for many years due to the hard work of our committee, chaired by Board Member John Leinweber,” said Liz Kaminski, Foundation Board Chair. “On behalf of The Foundation, we truly appreciate the CAR SEAT FITTING TRAINING support of the many companies, community members and Briar Leaf Golf Club for their underwriting and participation.” As part of the Safe Kids Program, IU Health La Porte Hospital colleagues assist the community by providing child car seats & booster seats to families who would not otherwise be able to afford or have access to them. Additionally, the Safe Kids program hosts Child Passenger Safety Trainings. During these trainings, colleagues learn how to properly install, fit and adjust child safety seats to ensure they meet safety standards. The Safe Kids program is supported by The Foundation through grant funding provided by Indiana University School of Medicine. iuhealth.org/laporte/foundation • 23 FRIENDS | UP TO $99 Tammie Collins Richard E. & Jeanne E.
