Corrections
It always our most sincere intent to provide accurate information in our Medcen Happenings publications; unfortunately, we overlooked a crucial piece
of information in our last issues’ story, Miracle Child Amare Threatt. We inadvertently left out Dr. Lane, the pediatric anesthesiologist who was a vital
part in the medical team that was comprised to take care of Amare Threatt and his mother during the delivery process. Please know that this mistake
does not undermine the important role he played throughout the delivery and subsequent surgery. We are sorry for the omission!

A message from the
Changing Times
There is a time to plant and a time to harvest. And as the sands
pass through the hourglass, so time marches on.
With the passage of time, change inevitably takes place. It’s
a peculiar phenomenon.
Change can raise the anxiety level
in the human mind, but on the other hand, change can serve
as a catalyst for all things good. Change is essential to life, to
remaining viable.
After 25 years of extraordinary leadership, Ethel Cullinan has
entered into a well deserved retirement. With Ethel’s departure
from our foundation some level of trepidation will set in as we
anxiously await the identity of her replacement, vetted, appointed
and beginning his or her tenure of leadership. My intent and
purpose during the next few words is to help set your mind at
ease.
I have served on the foundation board for eight years and as
chair during the past 19 months. During this tenure I have had
the wonderful experience of seeing the internal workings of the
foundation and getting to know the Medical Center of Central
Georgia up close and personal. I can assure you — supporters,
benefactors, staff, board, and friends — that you have nothing to
fear. In fact you have much to look forward to as we move into
this new phase. Your Foundation stands poised for the greatest,
most productive endeavors thus far.
At the time of this writing, I assure you that the members who
make up the Board are the best schooled in our mission and
purpose than at any point in my memory. We have dedicated
volunteers excited about working hard to accomplish our mission.
Our well-managed Foundation remains financially secure.
chair
Our investors can feel comfortable that the investment they make
in our community through their gifts to the Medcen Foundation of
Central Georgia makes a difference —not only for today but for
all of posterity in the lives of the citizenry of Central Georgia and
the entire region. Your contributions help foster new growth that
elevates the standard by which we all live.
Our campaign to raise monies to fund Medcen’s commitment
and contribution to the Comprehensive Cancer & Research
Center continues to hit the mark. This facility will set us apart
from even the most elite of health care providers. The center will
become the backdrop for positively changing the lives of many of
our loved ones and families throughout our region.
Additionally, we have begun the early construction phase of
a new hospital in Peach County — an exciting project for the
Foundation which proves we are connected and reaching out to
our regional family. The hospital will bridge us with surrounding
areas and expand the absolute highest level of health care
throughout the region.
It is indeed a pleasure to let you know that, yes, change is in the
air, but it is change for the better —the betterment of all of our
families and friends. I am privileged to stand on the shoulders
of my successors, to support this board and the facilities that it
supports.
I want to continue to thank our Board, volunteers, supporters,
and our staff for continuing to carry the torch. If you too would
like to become a part of this positive and exciting change, please
contact with our staff. We would welcome you aboard.

Peach County’s
Community Partnership for Health
Capital Campaign kicked off June 1st!
By: Ellen Terrell
Excellent healthcare close to home is an essential
part of any community. Providing this care to the
citizens of Peach and the surrounding counties
has been the mission of Peach Regional Medical
Center for nearly sixty years. Through the recent
partnership with Central Georgia Health System, the
construction of a new hospital, located at 1960 Hwy
247 Connector has begun.
The new hospital will be an incredible example of
what small communities should expect in a local
hospital.
• 25 private patient rooms with private bathrooms.
• A large Emergency Center with the ability to offer
fast track services for emergency and non-emergency
patients.
6
Medcen Happenings
• Expanded Outpatient Services to keep local
citizens from traveling long distances for diagnostic
and rehabilitation services.
• Two new Endoscopy Suites and one new Operating
Suite allowing for more surgery procedures.
• Critical care services for those patients requiring
more attention and closer monitoring.
• Increase in employment opportunities. The
expansion of hospital services is estimated to double
the number of current jobs during the first three years
of operation.
“This partnership is a great example of how
communities need to collaborate through this
changing healthcare environment.” said Don Faulk,
President and CEO of Central Georgia Health
SPRING 2012
Groundbreaking Ceremony held March 29, 2012
System and the Medical Center of Central Georgia.
“It is critically important for the community hospitals
to remain viable and provide high quality healthcare
to the citizens they serve.”
The Medcen Community Health Foundation is
pleased to assist in this effort by establishing a
development office in Peach County. Ellen Terrell
has been working closely with the administration
of Peach Regional and the community since March
preparing for the capital campaign. Helen Rhea
Stumbo is chairing the Campaign Cabinet and has a
wonderful group of men and women serving with her.
“It is a dream come true that we are going to have our
www.medcenfoundation.org new hospital at long last. This new facility is going to
enhance our ability to care for the citizens of our area
in incredible ways. I am thrilled to be working with
the capital campaign effort. As I have said so many
times, every day someone I know and love may need
our hospital, and I’m glad to do all I can to insure that
we can care for those who need it.”, remarks Mrs.
Stumbo.
With the inclusion of Peach Regional into our Central
Georgia Health System family, we will keep you
updated on the progress of the capital campaign and
the construction of the new hospital.

Grateful Daughter
Gives Back to
Pine Pointe
Jim and May Davis
It is with a grateful heart that I am writing this touching story
about a daughter who gave a very generous gift to Pine Pointe
Hospice of Central Georgia in the memory of her mother. The
daughter’s name is May Davis. I met her and her husband, Jim,
at Pine Pointe soon after her mother’s passing. May and Jim
were so very thankful for the care given to Sarah Roy during
her time spent at Pine Pointe, they wanted to make a major gift
which would give honor to her memory and help ensure other
patients and families will have similar experiences during their
final journey.
May and Jim helped move Sarah to Macon in 2005 after her
husband of 58 years died. They added an apartment to their
home where she could have her privacy, but would be close by in
case something happened, not that she was unwell at the time.
In fact, she was quite healthy. So much so that she and May went
to Savannah to celebrate her 85th birthday and then to Asheville,
NC for her 86th birthday. Her 87th birthday was a little more low
key as she had developed a serious case of the shingles. That
didn’t stop her from her love of knitting though.
She started knitting when she was a mere five-year old and was
knitting the day she suffered a stroke at age 87. She belonged
to a group of knitters called the “Close Knit Bunch” at the
Wellness Center. They knitted for charities and knit items such
as chemotherapy caps, breasts for women who have had a
mastectomy, premmie baby blankets, scarves for the brave men
and women working in the naval services, and gators to keep the
dust out of the faces of our soldiers serving in the Middle East.
Born and raised in Scotland, Sarah and her husband, immigrated
to the United States in May of 1952 with their two young children
and never looked back. She worked with United Airlines for most
of her career until she retired in 1983. This is when her life took on
a whole other dimension (we all hope to retire this way!). She and
her husband traveled to 43 countries around the world as well as
to about 30 of our 50 states. They took ballroom dancing classes
and they listened to music – Scottish music – bagpipes…
8
Medcen Happenings
Mom’s Birthday
Then suddenly, while knitting a chemo cap, Sarah collapsed.
As things would have it, Sarah had been having her annual
check-ups with Dr. Richard Ackermann, Physician Director at
Pine Pointe. When it came time to get some extra help, he
recommended they place her in Pine Pointe. May and Jim
knew it was time and followed his advice. Immediately, the
highly experienced staff at Pine Pointe took Sarah under their
loving wings and made her as comfortable as possible.
May was delighted to be able to stay in the same beautiful
room with her mother, 24/7. She brought family pictures and
placed them on the shelves so her mother could see them and
she even took a family brooch, attached Scottish heather to it,
and pinned it on the pillow next to her mother’s face.
The real magic took place on Saturday morning, when the
weekend nurse, Sheila, came in to take care of Sarah. May
was absolutely astounded when Sheila, also from Scotland,
saw the brooch, recognized the Scottish heather, sat down
beside her mother and whispered in her own Scottish brogue
that she was there to take care of her. On Sunday morning
at 6:00a.m.,Sarah, quietly and peacefully drifted into her final
rest while listening to the sweet sound of Scottish bagpipes.
May still can’t believe what a beautiful facility Pine Pointe
is or how loving and well-trained the staff is. May and Jim
graciously attended the annual Major Gifts Donor Recognition
Party and acknowledged the many people in the room for
their philanthropic gifts which made Pine Pointe a reality.
They recognize how important philanthropy is to a community
hospital and how their lives and the life of Sarah were so
positively impacted because of the generosity of others. With
that in mind, they made their own gift of tribute.
Please contact me, Debbie Schuchmann, at 478/633-6151 or
[email protected] to discuss how you can make
a similar gift of tribute for a loved one or a special caregiver.

Supports Comprehensive Cancer & Research Center
Please help me congratulate our newest Business & Corporate
Honor Roll member, Bruce Johnson, President and CEO,
Commercial Furnishings, Inc.! Located on the corner of Third and
Plum Streets downtown, he’s the consummate supporter of all
things downtown and community related. When you walk inside,
you are welcomed by a view of high tech office furniture settings
in sizes and colors to meet a wide range of business needs. From
Healthcare to the Board Room, they have it. I felt like Goldilocks
as I had to sit in each desk chair to find the one that was just right!
They have been there ten years and have plans to grow their
business by opening satellite offices throughout the state and even
renovating the upper stories of their current building to house office
spaces which could be rented out for special meetings or projects.
Clearly they’re in business for the long haul and they’re in business
to help grow Central and South Georgia.
When I asked Bruce why he felt it was important to support the
new Comprehensive Cancer & Research Center, he was quick to
point out that the decision came from his entire team. They all had
www.medcenfoundation.org Cal Hays, Don Faulk, Bruce Johnson,
BJ Dunwoody and Danny Gibson
known or know someone who has had a cancer related experience.
For that reason alone it was a unanimous decision to help make
Medical Center’s vision of a freestanding Comprehensive Cancer
& Research Center available for all residents of Central and South
Georgia.
Additionally important to Bruce is for local businesses in our
community to support each other. Bruce stated, “Working and
doing business in a community the size of Central Georgia,
there’s no need to go to Atlanta. We should all be scratching each
other’s back!” This line of thinking is exactly what the Business &
Corporate Honor Roll is all about. The community partnering with
the Hospital to strengthen their mutual goal of decreasing health
care costs while maintaining excellence in health care for Central
and South Georgians.
Please contact me at 478/633-6151 or Schuchmann.Debbie@

20th Annual
Celebrity Classic Weekend
Continues to Make Miracles Happen for
The Children’s Hospital

Golfer tees off
The 20th Annual Children’s Hospital Celebrity Classic Weekend,
sponsored by Kroger, was yet another big success this year raising
over $250,000 for The Children’s Hosptial. This year the event
kicked off on Saturday, April 21st with “An Evening Celebrating
Miracles” Gala at Idle Hour Country Club. Over 200 guests and
celebrities participated in the silent and live auctions, as well as
dancing the night away to the sounds of Brookwood Split. Before
the live auction began, one of our own Miracle Children, Aparicio
Fogg, shared his heartwarming journey of overcoming a tragic
accident of getting hit by a car in 1996 only to graduate from high
school this past year. Aparicio spent months in The Children’s
Hospital before continuing on with both inpatient and outpatient
therapy to regain the ability to walk and talk. The crowd was
moved to tears after hearing his story of triumph and they, too,
learned why this event is an integral part of helping make miracles
happen for our Children’s Hospital.
Sunday, celebrities enjoyed visiting with the patients at The
Children’s Hospital. “It is wonderful to have the celebrities come
and visit with the patients and their families. It really brightens
their day and is usually a highlight of a patient’s stay when they are
able to “forget” about being sick and just be a normal kid visiting
with a celebrity” says, Cyndee Adams, Director of the General
Pediatric Unit.

Proceeds from the 2012 Celebrity Classic Weekend will benefit
the child-friendly expansion and enhancement projects of The
Children’s Hospital. Since its inception in 1992, the Celebrity Classic
has raised over $4 million dollars for The Children’s Hospital. We
express our tremendous gratitude to the many patrons, celebrities,
honored guests, and volunteers who played a role in this year’s
20th Anniversary weekend festivities.
Medcen Community Health Foundation and The Children’s Hospital
are grateful to Celebrity Classic Coordinator Mike McCollum’s
leadership and members of the Classic committee for their tireless
preparation and devotion to the annual event. This event would not

20th Annual Children’s Miracle
Network Hospitals Broadcast
By: Kathy Tolbert
happening
Each year on the first weekend in June, the
Central Georgia community comes together in
support of a common cause—The Children’s
Hospital at The Medical Center of Central
Georgia. This past June 2-3, the Children’s
Miracle Network Hospitals Broadcast hosted
by 13 WMAZ, raised more than $605,000 to
help sick and injured children.
The 20th Annual Broadcast highlighted both
national and local Children’s Miracle Network
Hospitals sponsors and their fundraising
achievements over the past year, but even
more significant, it showcased our local
“miracle children,” their families, and the
extraordinary staff at The Children’s Hospital
who care for these patients on a daily basis.
This year we celebrated a milestone- our 20th
Anniversary of the CMN Broadcast. We were
able to take a look back into the past to see
some of our previous miracle children and did
a “Where Are They Now” segment to show
their previous story and then interview them
today. This segment was special to see what
types of MIRACLES our local community have
helped provide! One of the families we saw
come back to share their story was Aparicio
Fogg, who was hit by a car in 1996. He recently
graduated from high school and is just an
inspiration to all he comes in contact with! We
also met for the first time, Lizzie Kate Rowe,
Jamie Weston, Riley Barron and Lillie Powell –
who are just a few of the thousands of miracles
who have received outstanding medical care
at The Children’s Hospital because of many
Central Georgians’ generosity.
As efforts continue to provide the highest
quality healthcare to this region by offering
life-saving services, the funds raised this year
during the broadcast, will not only support
these services, but will also help purchase
specific “wishlist” items used in pediatric
surgery, the critical care units, as well as items
used by the Child Life Specialists. One of
the “wishlist” items purchased was an iPad
for Child Life Specialists to use to help teach
kids about medical procedures. There are
many apps that can be purchased to help
teach kids on an age appropriate level about
medical tests and procedures that they will be
undergoing.
Dance Marathon
For Mercer and Georgia College students, Spring Semester brings many
exciting events to the calendar, one of which is Dance Marathon, a national
program sponsored by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals on many
college campuses throughout the country. Planned and carried out by an
executive board of students, this is a challenging event in which participants
pledge to stand and dance for eight hours straight in celebration of the
money raised for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. While eight hours
may seem like an incredibly long time without sitting down or resting, the
concept is that the discomfort felt from standing is small compared to what
Children’s Hospital patients often endure daily. Money is raised through
letters, sent out months in advance on behalf of the participants, to their
families and friends. So while the event is not until Spring, the Dance
Marathon Campaign really begins long before the doors are opened for
the actual event.
12
Medcen Happenings
Another big celebration was Frank Malloy’s
20th year as the host of the CMN Broadcast.
We worked hard to surprise Frank with a
“Look Back through the Years” and to help
celebrate all the thousands of miracles he
has helped make possible! Patients of The
Children’s Hospital created a piece of artwork
they presented Frank at the Broadcast. And
of course, at the end, and as the tote board
rolled over, the faces of sponsors, volunteers,
and patient families beamed with pure joy and
excitement, and the hosts faces were covered
in pie, courtesy of our very own local miracle
children!
The many efforts of the past fundraising year
and the continued dedication form our local
community gave Central Georgians a reason
to celebrate long after the Broadcast ended.
The commitment and loyalty of our community
will continue to make The Children’s Hospital
at The Medical Center of Central Georgia a
place where miracles happen!
THANK YOU for 20 WONDERFUL years!!!
At the Dance Marathon, participants are divided into “Morale Groups,” in
which they play team games, have competitions and interact with each
other, as well as with Children’s Hospital patients. Past and present patients
come to the event to visit, dance, hang out, and share their compelling
stories of how the Children’s Hospital has made a difference in their lives.
Other patients share through video and their stories help participants see
what the money they raise can help accomplish. The dancing portion of
the event comes in the form of a “Morale Dance.” Each hour, a new part
of the Morale Dance, the theme dance of the night, is taught. By the end
of the night, participants know the entire dance, consisting of at least 8
different fun and inspirational “routines.”
While Dance Marathon takes place at college campuses across the country,
Mercer and Georgia College Marathons are special because 100% of the
funds raised at the two events go to our local Children’s Hospital here in
Macon. This year, over $40,000 was raised and given to the Children’s
Hospital. Most students come into the Dance Marathon not really sure
what to expect, but every student leaves with an appreciation for good
health and a grateful heart for a hospital that cares.
SPRING 2012
MCCG: A Wise Investment
One often hears the statement that hospitals are
businesses – big businesses that make lots of money
and, as a result, are not deserving of personal or business
charitable giving.
It is true that over the last thirty years, hospitals have had
to become more business-like in order to survive. It is
also true that millions of dollars flow through a hospital
every day. They are indeed the most expensive form of
healthcare provided in the United States. However, to
fully understand hospital economics, one must delve a bit
deeper to appreciate the breadth of the operation and key
funding mechanisms. The following are a few facts that

• Hospitals are essentially self-contained small cities
operating within a city. They function and are on alert 24
hours per day, 7 days a week, to serve the community.
• Hospitals maintain all the services that a normal city
provides, facilities maintenance, emergency response
and preparedness, equipment and technology operations
and maintenance, real estate management, back-up
utilities, hotel services, housekeeping and transportation,
just to name a few. In addition, hospitals are staffed with
highly skilled doctors, nurses, social workers, doctors-intraining and pharmacy, radiology and laboratory specialist
around the clock. One hundred percent of these services
must meet strict state mandates every year for quality and
certified accreditation.
• Like MCCG, 80% of all American hospitals are not for
profit organizations. No shareholders or private individuals
are paid any portion of the hospital’s profits and vendors,
employees, and others who receive monies have to be
paid at fair market value.
• 100% of every dollar received by not for profit hospitals
is reinvested back into the hospital to cover the cost of
www.medcenfoundation.org patient care and to improve the quality of the delivery of
that care. On average, across the United State, 90% of
every dollar flowing into a hospital is spent on direct care
or in the support of direct care to patients. The remaining
10% is spent for:
o Replacing obsolete clinical equipment in order to
maintain quality care
o Investing in new technology, including clinical
technology and computers for use 24/7
o Repaying debt on money borrowed to build new
facilities
o Saving for unexpected emergencies and to meet
the basic financial requirements of an economically
stable organization

• The majority of care provided at MCCG, 57%, is
to patients with either Medicare (federal program) or
Medicaid (state program for the poor). Reimbursement
levels for these programs do not cover the cost to provide
care. More specifically:
o Approximately 34% of the care provided at MCCG
is to Medicare patients. On average, Medicare
pays 91 cents for every dollar actually spent on
care for these patients. That is, MCCG loses about
9% on average on all Medicare patients. Medicare
reimbursement has been declining since the 1990’s
– this trend is expected to continue.
o Approximately 23% of the care provided at MCCG
is to Medicaid Georgia Medicaid represents
approximately 23% of the money spent at MCCG.
On average, Georgia pays about 83% of every dollar
spent on care for Medicaid patients. Again, MCCG
loses about 17 cents of every dollar used to care for
the poor in our community. Federal and State laws
define the guidelines for Medicaid eligibility (based
upon poverty guidelines). Medicaid reimbursement
has been declining in the states since the 1980s

MCCG: A WISE INVESTMENT, continued:
and has become particularly acute since 2008 due
to the economic recession.
• Not for profit hospitals are required by federal law to
provide care to any patient who presents at the Emergency
Room regardless of the ability to pay – as a result a
significant portion of care, approximately 11%, is either
uncompensated (and classified as charity) or paid directly
by the patient. Uncompensated and “Self-Pay” care has
continued to rise given the rise of unemployment and the
increase in high deductible health plans.
• The remaining approximately 32% of all care is paid by
employer provided insurance for company employees.
Insurance and ultimately employers and its employees pay
the purposeful “hidden tax” of all of the unpaid Medicare,
Medicaid and charity care through a “shift” in payment from
government groups to private groups. This” hidden tax”
today represents about 25% of all healthcare costs and is
increasing rapidly. As more employers cannot afford health
insurance for their employees, the employees become part
of the more than 40 million Americans that are uninsured –
many of who obtain their care via the “free” access to the
hospital’s emergency rooms – by far the most expensive
setting to receive care.
Today’s hospital operate in a highly regulated environment
where they are challenged to balance the need to provide
high quality care as demanded by the patients, physicians
and the government with the need to reduce costs and
to generate enough resources to pay for debt, reinvest in
clinical equipment and facilities, and create and utilize new
advancements. The ability to generate excess cash flow
for reinvestment is declining quickly. Healthcare Reform
has built into it a reduction of over $500 billion in Medicare
payments to hospitals from current levels. This fact coupled
with the need to continue to provide the highest quality
healthcare will put even more pressure on the hospital’s
ability to maintain it’s strong financial standing.
understand the nature of hospitals is to understand that
they are first and foremost community assets that are
vital to the health and productivity of the communities
they serve. They represent safety, a sense of public
confidence in quality and personal care and are a
lifeline for each community in which they exist. Finally,
they are generally one of the largest employers in the
community and are a tremendous asset in economic
development.
The planned Comprehensive Cancer & Research Center
embodies the role of MCCG within our community. Despite
the efforts made in the area of cancer care, cancer remains
a major health problem throughout the world and, as our
population ages, the need for services will steadily increase.
As a result, the administration and board of MCCG have
identified the development of a new Comprehensive Cancer
& Research Center as a number one priority in their strategic
plan. The vision is to build a new state-of-the-art facility, a
center where from the moment a patient is diagnosed, they
are taken under the wing of a trained navigator to help steer
the patient and family from those first crucial decisions
through their entire plan of care. A center with all services
under one roof so patients can receive all their care in one
place. A place where the patient and family feel supported
every step of the way. This plan for a regionally based,
centralized cancer program will surely touch the lives of
tens of thousands of individuals throughout our region. It is
clear, however, that making this vision a reality will require
the financial support of the community. Support that will
pay tremendous dividends to our friends and neighbors
that will benefit from such a critical resource.
Hospitals are indeed expensive, but every dollar is
reinvested directly into the care of the people who live in
the community 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Thank you to Ken Saitow for sharing his wealth of
knowledge with the Medcen Foundation as well as his
and Lisa’s (wife) gifts as signature donors.
Community contributions will continue to be necessary
to supplement the ability of the hospital to generate its
own capital for reinvestment and debt repayment. To

Where Peace of Mind is Priceless!
By: SUsan Watkins
Carlyle Place gave the Reichert family peace of mind that their parents,
Mr. Albert P. and Mrs. Walton Reichert, Sr., were well taken care of –
which was of utmost importance to them. Mr. Albert Reichert, Jr., said
they have deep appreciation for the staff who were so supportive and
helping in every way.
Carlyle Place was the right place for Mr. Reichert and his wife who was
affectionately called “Chunk”. They were two of the very first residents
in the fall of 2001. Having lived on Callaway Drive for 60 years, it was
hard for them to leave. But after they arrived at Carlyle, they enjoyed
routinely seeing and having meals with old friends and meeting new
friends and felt at home right away.
The Reicherts received exceptional service and the supportive care that
was needed throughout their journey of life at Carlyle Place. The couple
started in independent living, and then eventually moved to assisted
living and skilled nursing. A door was cut in between their rooms in
both Harrington House and Stafford Suites so the couple could remain
as close together as possible!
The Reicherts enjoyed a poetry class at Carlyle Place that was offered
by another resident, Ben Griffith. Mr. Reichert liked to quote Robert
Frost’s “In a Glass of Cider.”
In May, a Campaign was launched to reignite the interest and
commitment of Carlyle Place residents in contributing toward meeting
the minimum goal of $1 million toward the Resident Assistance Fund.
The Resident Assistance Fund is designated to help Carlyle residents
The Resident Assistance Fund was established when the community
opened in 2001. As of March 31, 2012 the Fund has accumulated,
through donations and earnings a total value of approximately
$480,000. To date, the general population of Carlyle Place has been
fortunate to have very limited need for financial assistance. But with
the downturn in our economy and the aging of our resident population,
potential needs are increasing.
The primary focus of the campaign is raising monies through planned
estate gifts or gifts that will not adversely affect a resident’s monthly
budget. Vehicles that may enable a resident to give in this manner
might include the rollover of an IRA to the campaign, donating a paid
in full insurance policy, making the Resident Assistance Fund the
beneficiary of an insurance policy or annuity, donating all or a portion of
a refundable entrance fee, or through donations of property.
To follow the generous lead of the Reicherts and to support this
campaign, please contact Susan Watkins at (478)633-6926 or
[email protected] or Tom Rockenbach at (478)405-4521 or

Donor Appreciation Party

Medcen Happenings
SPRING 2012
When an individual or organization decides to make
an investment of a major gift to the Hospital one of
the first things we want to do is thank them and thank
them profusely! We want to let them know how their
gift will benefit the patients and families served, we
want to show them we’re good stewards with their
resources and we want to give them the honor
and recognition they deserve. So once a year the
Medcen Board of Trustees hosts a party for all our
major gifts donors (Major Gifts are gifts of $10,000
or more).
This year the party was held on a Thursday evening,
May 10th at the newly renovated home of Harriette
and Marty Carter, major gifts donors themselves.
Their beautiful home was the perfect setting to
entertain and thank over 100 guests. It’s a special
night when we’re able to bring so many of our
supporters together ~ the common bond being they
all share the same commitment to high quality health
care right here in Macon, Georgia. It’s absolutely mind
boggling when you look around and think about each
person’s gift adding up to make vast improvements
for the health care of the residents of Central and
South Georgia.
Of course, Don Faulk, CEO and President of
Central Georgia Health System is present to give
his personal thanks to everyone there. With the
costs of healthcare rising and reimbursements from
Medicare and Medicaid diminishing, he is acutely
aware of the importance of each gift. In a brief
statement of gratitude, he recognizes the generosity
and dedication of our donors and emphasizes the
fact their gifts are used to save and positively impact
the lives of our patients and families every day at the
Hospital.
We all like knowing how our gifts are used and how
they’re making a real difference. One of the best
reasons to give to the Medical Center of Central
Georgia is because you can see your gifts making
a tangible impact on the lives of others. In addition
to special recognition from Mr. Faulk, we also invited
May and Jim Davis, among our newest Callaway
Society members to share their unique story. May
had the rapt attention of every party goer as she gave
her personal testimony about the care and treatment
her mother received (please see page 8 to learn
more).
Being surrounded by so many generous individuals
and corporations is awesome. Most of them are not
looking for thanks or any special recognition, but
they do want to know their investment has been used
wisely. This event allows us to assure them Medcen
is a good steward of their precious resources and to
give them honor and gratitude as well.

The Children’s Hospital at the Medical Center Introduces
System Enhances Physician Capabilities, Patient Experience
by: Kathy Tolbert
The Children’s Hospital at The Medical Center of Central Georgia
now offers the pediatric daVinci® robotic surgery system to
assist surgeons as they perform minimally invasive surgeries on
children. This new pediatric system offers multiple benefits to
both surgeons and patients.
Pediatric procedures performed by the daVinci® robotic surgery
system offer the surgeon superior visualization and control.
Young patients benefit from this less invasive surgery method
in several ways. By choosing to use daVinci®, the patient may
experience less pain, less blood loss, fewer stitches, less need
for narcotics, faster recovery time and a quicker return to normal
activities.
“We want only the best for our smallest and most fragile patients,
and MCCG is bringing this state-of-the-art technology to the
children of Georgia with the introduction of this program. No one
else in the state of Georgia is offering this service to children
and it can only be found here at The Children’s Hospital at
MCCG,” said Dr. Joshua Glenn, Pediatric Surgeon and Assistant
Professor of Surgery at The Children’s Hospital.
www.medcenfoundation.org Dr. Glenn is currently the
only
general
pediatric
surgeon in the state
trained in the pediatric
daVinci® robotic surgery
system. Although many
types of surgeries may
be performed, Dr. Glenn
expects
to
perform
operations on the lung and
common gastrointestinal
surgeries (such as bowel
resection, gall bladder and
spleen removal, and hernia
repair) most frequently.

Why Medcen?
With hundreds of charitable organizations
available to donors in Central Georgia, how
can you be sure your gift will be used in the
manner you intended? What “due diligence”
do you perform on the organizations you
support?
Betsy Brill, founder and president of
Strategic Philanthropy, Ltd., has written an
article describing the importance of vetting
the organization you support with charitable
gifts. She suggests several methods you can
use to discover if an organization is aligned
with your core beliefs. These can give you the
assurance that you are supporting programs
that reflect your unique philosophies.
Here are some techniques Ms. Brill
recommends, and the specific reasons why
the Medcen Foundation passes the toughest
scrutiny.
(1) Evaluate the organization’s mission,
programs and services to determine if they
are aligned with your personal philanthropic
agenda. Since 1973, The Medcen Foundation
has been supporting community health
programs for Central Georgia. Its primary
benefactor is the Medical Center of Central
Georgia.
As a community not-for-profit hospital, The
Medical Center faces many challenges.
Rapidly developing medical technology,
reductions in government funding for health
services and increasing amounts of indigent
care add up to considerable expense. The
hospital receives only one half of one percent
of its budget from Bibb County.
Our entire community benefits when The
Medical Center remains on the leading edge
and is able to renovate and expand existing
services to provide care for everyone in our
area. To do this, The Medical Center needs
continuing support provided in part by the
Medcen Foundation. Charitable efforts
supported by the Foundation include The
Children’s Hospital, Hospice of Central
Georgia and the Comprehensive Cancer and
20
Medcen Happenings
by: Bill ennis
Research Center. These and other programs
are described in more detail on the website
www.medcenfoundation.org .
(2) Review the programs and services the
organization provides. Are they aligned
with the organization’s mission and is there
the capacity (i.e. staff and resources) to
successfully deliver programs and services?
Funds received by the Medcen Foundation
are not used for the hospital’s operating
expenses but go 100% toward capital
projects, purchase of new equipment, and
medical research and education. The Board
of Trustees and Staff of the Foundation are
described on the website noted above. They
include officers from the Medical Center of
Central Georgia and other business and
community leaders. With nearly four decades
of service, it is clear that the Foundation is
delivering on its commitment to support local
improvements in healthcare.
(3) Inquire about the strategic plan and the
fundraising plan in place and see how they
are being implemented. Throughout its
history, the Foundation has successfully
raised funds for projects such as the Luce
Heart Center, the renovation of the ICU, Pine
Pointe Hospice, the Children’s Hospital,
Community Health Programs and the Peyton
Anderson Health Education Center. The
current $9 Million capital campaign is a
program to raise funds for a Comprehensive
Cancer & Research Center. The vision is to
be a nationally recognized leader providing
comprehensive cancer care services.
(4) Talk to Board members and other
donors in order to gauge the organization’s
commitment to donor stewardship. Most
people reading this article will recognize
someone on the staff or Board of Trustees.
Contact them about your desire to support
the programs of the Foundation to benefit
our community. If you don’t see someone you
know, contact Susan Watkins, Development
Officer, at (478)633-6926 and she can put you
in touch with a member of the Foundation or
its Board for a reference.
(5) Consider reaching out to other
professionals that serve you, such as your
CPA, attorney or financial advisor. Ask
your trusted advisor about the credibility,
reputation and results of the Foundation and
its employees. Also ask them for assistance
in making your gifts.
(6) Finally, most organizations (and certainly
any that you would want to support!) welcome
the opportunity to show first-hand how
their organizations operate on a daily basis.
Contact Susan … she will be pleased to give
you specific answers to any questions about
the programs and fund raising goals. She
can also arrange for you to see first-hand and
to tour the facilities made possible through
gifts to the Foundation.
In giving to the Foundation, you have the
comfort of knowing that your resources
are part of a sustaining gift … a legacy that
will serve current and future patients and
their families to come. We are exceptionally
fortunate to live in a community that can care
for any health issue you or a family member
may ever have. Your giving is a vital part of
maintaining and enhancing that peace of
mind.
