A Message to Our Donors
Billings Clinic is fortunate to have so many friends who support our organization
and assist us on our journey to become a national leader in providing the best
clinical quality, patient safety, service and value. Philanthropy continues to make a
positive difference in our ability to fulfill this vision.
Our generous benefactors have varied backgrounds and experiences but a
common thread binds them all: believing in Billings Clinic’s mission and knowing
our organization is committed to working together for the future health of our
families, friends and community. Never was this commitment stronger than on
July 1, 1993, when Deaconess Medical Center and Billings Clinic formally merged.
As we celebrate our twenty-year anniversary as an integrated not-for-profit,
community-governed and physician-led organization, we reflect on the incredible
teamwork and farsighted vision of our community and physicians to create an
organization dedicated to a higher purpose in providing health care
for our region.
Our patients and their families are the beneficiaries of your generosity. Your
contributions are critical in helping us achieve our mission of excellence in
health care, education and research. But most importantly, your gifts symbolize
your trust in the role Billings Clinic plays in our community and region.
Your investment and involvement are critical to Billings Clinic’s continued success,
and we recognize the importance of being good stewards of the resources you
entrust to us. We never lose sight of the fact that you are the catalyst for turning
possibilities into realities at Billings Clinic.

David Hayes, MD, Medical Director of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, speaks about our new relationship
with Mayo Clinic. For nearly 150 years, Mayo’s approach to health care has been rooted in the idea that the
best patient care is achieved when experts from a variety of medical specialties work
together, focused on the patient. Billings Clinic and Mayo Clinic share
very similar visions.
Celebrating New Relationships
Joining the Mayo Clinic Care Network
On the morning of
January 9, 2013, hundreds
of employees, physicians,
community members and
dignitaries gathered
together to celebrate a
new relationship between
Billings Clinic and
Mayo Clinic. We are the
first health system in
Montana and Wyoming to
have passed Mayo’s
rigorous review process
and been selected as a
member of the Mayo
Clinic Care Network. This
relationship is a reflection
of Billings Clinic’s obsessive
dedication to patient
safety, quality, service and
value – guiding principles
in the work we do
everyday.
Dr. Nick Wolter and
Dr. Scott Millikan
joined Dr. David Hayes
on stage for the
announcement of our
new relationship with
Mayo Clinic.
Hundreds witnessed
this historic moment in
the Commons at
Billings Clinic.
Through the network,
Billings Clinic and
Mayo Clinic will be closely
connected, and our
patients will benefit as our doctors collaborate with some of the world’s most highly specialized physicians on
complex health issues. And, just as important to our patients, this new relationship means that we can access
Mayo Clinic knowledge and expertise right here at home, so fewer patients have to travel out of our region for certain
specialized care.
Achieving these advanced levels of distinction simply would not be possible without working together with our donors.
Your gifts are helping to fund the margin of excellence at Billings Clinic for the benefit of the patients and families
we serve.

Achieving Our Vision
A Never Ending Journey
Clinical Quality. Patient Safety. Service. Value. These simple words contained within our vision statement hold
a wealth of meaning to the staff of Billings Clinic. They are our promise to obsessively and compassionately
focus on exceeding the expectations of every patient and guest. Noteworthy highlights, such as being ranked
number one in the nation for patient safety by Consumer Reports in 2012 and the “A” rating we received
from the Leapfrog Group Hospital Safety Score Program, are evidence of our commitment to excellence.
Billings Clinic takes great pride in the honors and rankings bestowed on us and celebrates the achievements
we have accomplished together. Yet, we are forever vigilant in objectively measuring our performance and
realize our journey is never-ending. There is still much work to be done. Your investment in Billings Clinic, no
matter the designation of your gift, allows us to continue our quest to fulfill our vision.

Billings Clinic’s new Cardiac Center will be located on the top floor of a two-story addition to the downtown clinic
above SameDay Care. To be completed in 2014, the 20,000 square foot outpatient center will include
additional exam and diagnostic testing rooms and a greatly expanded Cardiac
Rehabilitation Suite. Most importantly, the new center will bring outpatient
cardiac services back into the main clinic, supporting greater
interaction between key medical specialties and
primary care.

Building for the Future
Working Together and Building for the Future
Billings Clinic is constantly undergoing a thoughtful strategic planning process to achieve our vision of being a national
leader in providing the best clinical quality, patient safety, service and value for our patients. A critical part of achieving
this vision is comprehensive master facility planning.
In 2011, senior leaders, architects, physicians, nurses and staff working together conducted an in-depth evaluation of
Billings Clinic’s Medical Campus Plan. They thoroughly examined the needs of our patients, advancing medical
technology and new methods of health care delivery in light of aging facilities and inadequate space. The conversations
were difficult as our organization faces a multitude of important and worthy needs with limited resources to meet
those needs.
With the care of our patients at the forefront and the desire to improve patient care for generations to come, the Board of
Directors at Billings Clinic approved the following projects to be prioritized for completion by the year 2015:
1 Building a new outpatient
Cardiac Center

8 Renovation and

The projected cost to build and equip these imperative projects is $42 million. Billings Clinic will use $33 million of low
interest bond proceeds, leaving a balance of $9 million. With the uncertainty in health care reform, in addition to our
routine equipment and technology needs, Billings Clinic is simply not in a financial position to borrow more than
$33 million at this time. Billings Clinic has asked Billings Clinic Foundation to raise the $9 million necessary to
complete the projects through philanthropic support.
Together, with members of our Billings Clinic family and a visionary and generous community and region, we are making
great strides in reaching our goal. We thank our donors for embracing our mission and vision, for partnering with us to
make a positive difference in the lives of our patients and their families, and for investing in our
future. It is a commitment we take very seriously, and we will be excellent stewards
of the trust and gifts placed in our hands.

The Plan for the new Intensive Care Unit
The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is at the heart of critical
care services at Billings Clinic. Our ICU has received
national recognition for its transformative work in
evidence-based practices and patient safety
measures. The new ICU will address the challenges of
the existing ICU and support the needs of our
critically ill patients. The new ICU features:
24 private patient rooms supporting
state-of-the-art technology
Spacious family waiting areas
Satellite pharmacy to allow for quick access to
all needed drug therapies
Conference room for large family meetings, staff education and multidisciplinary team meetings
Patient rooms will have designated areas for the patient’s family allowing for unrestricted visitation. To help
minimize environmental stressors, patient rooms and gathering areas will have comfortable furnishings,
soothing colors, peaceful artwork and noise-reducing measures and materials.

Billings Clinic is planning the construction of a
pediatric inpatient unit specifically designed for
the care and comfort of our young patients.
Each room will be equipped with a sleeper sofa,
allowing parents to comfortably spend the night
at their child’s bedside. Each child’s room will be a
safe haven, locating all procedures and
treatments in a specially designed treatment
room. An “imagination” play room will offer
children much needed diversion and comfort as
they deal with the often frightening experience of
being hospitalized.

Mildred Marie
Sandall Scott, known
to her family as “Pil,”
believed in helping
others. She and her
husband, Homer,
created the Homer A.
and Mildred S. Scott
Foundation that
continues to serve
the needs of others into the future. Their
wonderful foundation established the
Mildred Sandall Scott Women’s Wellness
Endowment fund at Billings Clinic
Foundation for the benefit of women
living in eastern Montana and northern
Wyoming who do not have sufficient
personal resources to pay for
recommended health screenings.
Through the years, many friends and
family of Mildred have also contributed to
this essential fund.
Together, through the Mildred Sandall
Scott Women’s Wellness Endowment and
our other partners in women’s health
programs, thousands of women have
received preventative health screenings
at Billings Clinic. Mildred’s lasting legacy
of giving women the gift of life and
good health is a fitting honor to this
remarkable woman.

A Lifetime of Philanthropy
One of the greatest
gifts a person can
leave is a legacy of
giving. It takes a
true philanthropic
spirit to make a
commitment to
help those in the
Hewes and Susan Agnew
community today,
while planning ahead to benefit future generations.
For Dr. Hewes and Susan Agnew, they made the
decision that generosity never has to end, and
together guaranteed their legacy of giving would
positively impact lives at Billings Clinic for
generations to come.
In 1972, Hewes was finishing his surgical residency
at the prestigious Johns Hopkins Surgical Residency
program in Baltimore, Maryland. Hewes and Susan
began looking out west for a smaller community
with a strong medical presence. Billings Clinic and
Deaconess Hospital were an ideal fit. Months earlier,
the hospital began an open heart surgery program,
and Hewes’ surgical expertise was a welcomed
addition. Together, Hewes and his partner
Dr. John Heizer, with cardiologists Dr. Walter Degnan,
Dr. John Burg and Dr. H. Sorenson, blazed the trail for
delivering advanced cardiac care and cardiovascular
surgery to Montana – a transformational step
forward in bringing specialized medicine to the
deserving citizens of our state.
Since arriving in Billings, the Agnews have
contributed their time, talent and philanthropic
support to many important causes within Billings
Clinic and in our community. Leading by example,
they have taught colleagues and friends the
importance of giving back, inspiring many.
Dr. Agnew officially retired in 1999; however he and
his wife have continued to be dedicated supporters
of Billings Clinic. Not only have Hewes and Susan
provided many generous gifts to Billings Clinic,
they have also created a lasting legacy through
their support of the Heizer/Agnew Cardiac Services
Endowment, which will live into perpetuity and
continue to provide a philanthropic margin of
excellence for cardiovascular services at
Billings Clinic.
We are forever grateful for the incredible handprint
Hewes and Susan have left on our organization.
Working Together | 21
Billings Clinic Foundation is grateful for annual gifts from our donors that allow us to support
innovative programs, help patients and their families through our patient assistance funds
and purchase state-of-the-art equipment. Your generosity is helping
fund the margins of excellence at Billings Clinic.
Annual Support
Working Together for the Benefit of Our Patients and Their Families
Working together, your gifts allow us to accomplish great things on behalf of our patients and their families. As a not-forprofit health care organization, our physicians and hospital provide care for patients regardless of their economic or
insurance status. In fiscal year 2012, Billings Clinic provided over $14.7 million in charity care. Given this need, as well as
the need to establish and expand vital services and facilities and invest in new, leading-edge medical technology that
allows us to better diagnose and treat our patients, your gifts truly support our mission and are deeply appreciated.
It is with sincere gratitude that we recognize support from the following individuals, families, corporations, foundations
and organizations that gave gifts to Billings Clinic Foundation from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2012. Gifts and
pledges to our current Expansion and Renovation Campaign are recognized on pages 10-15. We also thank our many
donors who completed their pledges to the Cancer Center Capital Campaign over this time frame. Your gifts, recognized
in our last annual report, have transformed cancer care for our region and provided a state-of-the-art facility which
stands as a testament to the care excellence happening within its walls.

Caring for Our Most Vulnerable Patients
Harold and Patricia Korell
Harold and Patricia
Korell, caretakers of
four family members
in their nineties,
realize firsthand the
challenges facing
seniors today.
Through the Harold
and Patricia Korell
Foundation, the
Korells have
partnered with
Dr. Patricia Coon,
a Billings Clinic
geriatrician
specializing in the
care of the elderly, to
optimize health care
for this special and
vulnerable group of
patients.
The Korells have invested in solutions to improve access to
quality medical care for seniors. In 2010, they purchased an
all-wheel drive van to transport elderly patients to their
medical appointments. Last year, the van completed over
3200 trips. Additional support provided technology which
enables our senior care team the ability to access Billings
Clinic medical records at the bedside of patients in nursing
homes and assisted living facilities.
The Korells recently funded a dedicated area to house our
Senior Assessment Program, including an exam room,
spacious home-like consultation room for large family
gatherings and space for our nurse navigator who specializes
in senior care. The H.G. Korell Family Suite will offer a
comforting space for seniors to undergo a thorough
assessment and allow for private space for family members to
share concerns and discuss possible treatment plans with the
care team. This beautiful and private space will also be used
by our palliative care team in discussing sensitive and
emotional issues with patients and their families.
The Korells have also gifted generously to our pediatric
cancer patient assistance fund and our Center for Breast
Health. Billings Clinic is very fortunate to have friends like
Harold and Pat, who utilize their resources to effectively
comfort others in a significant and lasting way.

Healing Through the Talents of Artist Carol Hagan
Billings Clinic’s natural elements and warm touches, including
local and regional art, are integral to our healing
environment. As you are walking through the halls, you will
notice lively, bright pieces of art, radiating with the promise
of life. The vibrant talent of Montana artist Carol Hagan shines
through as patients, families and staff enjoy her joyous and
whimsical works of art. From baby birds and landscapes to
her kaleidoscopic bears, together, Carol and her husband Pat
have graced Billings Clinic with a generous gift of over 45
incredible works of art.
The Hagans’ generous gift contributes to the health and well
being of our patients by improving the environment in which
they are treated. Carol’s brilliant art has become a beloved
addition at Billings Clinic.

“When I think about my gift, I think
about the care my family has received at
Billings Clinic. I think of the doctors and
nurses who took care of my husband
during critical times as he underwent
heart surgery and recovered from a
stroke. Through these difficult times,
Billings Clinic not only kept my family
whole but added to the growth of my
family when two of my grandchildren
were born here. I give because I want to
give back to a facility that has given that
same commitment to my family.”

Matching Passions to Make a Positive Difference
Over the years, Billings Clinic employees Harry Miller, MHA,
and his wife, LeAnn Larsen, RN, MHA, have been building a
lasting legacy by funding an endowment which supports a
cause they care deeply about. The LeAnn Larsen and Harry
Miller Endowment is dedicated to providing financial
assistance to nursing students who are completing their
education in Montana.
As a member of the First Interstate Bank Advisory Board,
Harry is able to maximize his contributions to the
endowment thanks to a matching gift from the First
Interstate BancSystem Foundation. This is a win, win! First
Interstate BancSystem Foundation fulfills their mission of
supporting worthy causes in the community, and Harry and
LeAnn are pleased because their gift stretches even further,
allowing them to assist deserving future nurses.

Supporting Families Through the
Difficult Journey of Childhood Cancer
There is a special group of kids at Billings Clinic known as
Kelker’s Kids. These children are the patients of Billings Clinic
pediatricians Dr. Paul Kelker and Dr. Courtney Lyle, both
board certified pediatric oncologists. Billings Clinic has been
caring for children with cancer since 1978 when Dr. Kelker
started the first pediatric oncology program in Montana.
Thanks to our many donors to the Kelker’s Kids Fund who
ensure these deserving families have the financial support
they need so they can focus on what is important – the
care of their child. The Foundation extends special thanks to
Tracy Hoen and her wonderful family and volunteers for
giving countless hours of their time, year after year, to
spearhead the annual Kelker’s Kids fundraising event. Our
appreciation is also extended to the employees of SM Energy,
led by Tyson Schwartz and Luke Studer, for generously
donating the proceeds of their Bird & Birdie Tournament to
this very worthy cause.

“In trying to come up with my core
giving philosophy, I always go back to
a quote from John F. Kennedy:
‘For of those to whom much is given,
much is required.’
My husband and I feel like we have
been blessed in life. We have great jobs,
our health and a great family. As part of
our family giving strategy, we look for
causes that we’re passionate about, and
I truly believe in the great things
Billings Clinic has accomplished.
Someday I’ll be able to look back and
say ‘I was a small part of that.’”

Encouraging Tomorrow’s Scientists
Through Philanthropy
Science is everywhere: curing disease, delivering profound
new technologies, driving economic growth, creating new
jobs, and helping us define and discover our place in the
universe. Each year, Billings Clinic is proud to conduct the
region’s largest science fair competition, the Science Expo,
designed to encourage critical scientific thinking skills in
children in grades 1 through 12. The Science Expo fosters
excellence in academics and encourages children to pursue
careers in science and technology.
Generous support from our sponsors and donors allows
students from across eastern Montana to participate at no
charge and compete for prizes including all-expense paid
trips for high school students to international science fair
competitions. These are truly “once in a lifetime” experiences
for the brightest students in our region to test themselves
against the best in our nation and open numerous doors for
scholarship opportunities.

In Remembrance
Donald Twito, MD
April 25, 1944 – April 17, 2012
Sadly, Billings Clinic lost one of our
own with the sudden, unexpected
death of medical oncologist
Dr. Donald Twito in April of 2012.
Dr. Twito joined Billings Clinic in
1975 and was the first medical
oncologist to practice in the state of
Montana. He received his oncology
fellowship training at the University
of Minnesota under Dr. B.J.
Kennedy, known as the “father of
Medical Oncology.” Dr. Twito’s arrival
to Billings Clinic ushered in a new era in cancer specialty care
for the people of Montana and Wyoming by bringing
innovative new treatments and research opportunities to the
region for the very first time. Dr. Twito worked tirelessly for
37 years and was a passionate advocate of cancer research
and a generous benefactor to Billings Clinic Foundation.
