Letter from Frank May
Moving Forward
The past year has been one of many changes,
achievements and awards. Yampa Valley Medical
Center continues to adapt to
the changing health care
environment. In 2013, the
rollout of the Affordable Care
Act (ACA) was an important
milestone. Our business office partnered with the
Northwest Colorado Visiting
Nurse Association to help
members of the community
enroll in the Connect for Colorado plans. We also
partnered with the Steamboat Springs Chamber
Resort Association and Yampa Valley Bank to
present three educational programs to local businesses and the community about the ACA.
We are very proud of the fact that our Cancer
Care Program achieved accreditation with a
“Gold” commendation from the Commission on
Cancer. The journey to accreditation began more
than four years ago and could not have happened
without the tremendous support of Karl Gills, our
former CEO, and our Board of Trustees, Cancer
Committee, physicians and staff. This accreditation recognizes the depth of our program and our
talented care team. A full report on our Cancer
Program starts on page 18.
And in recent news, we just announced our
collaboration with the Mayo Clinic Care Network.
This is an exciting collaboration that will offer
many benefits to physicians and patients. For more
on this see the report from our Chief of Staff and
Medical Director on page 5.
Some of the other highlights in this report
include the move of the Doak Walker Care Center
to Casey’s Pond, ongoing staff education and news
from the Healthcare Foundation.
We are proud to be the regional medical center
for northwest Colorado and thankful for the
ongoing support of the community.

The past year has been one
of many changes, achievements
and awards. YVMC continues
to adapt to the changing health
care environment.

Strategic Plan Update
Strategic Plan Update
In the current health care environment, ongoing strategic planning is important to meet the
rapidly changing environment created by internal
and external forces. Participation by the Board of
Trustees, administrative leadership, hospital staff,
physicians and community members is essential
in order to accurately represent the needs of the
community and build on the foundation of excellence that is our heritage.
At YVMC we serve patients and their families
from Routt, Moffat, Grand and Jackson counties
along with residents of Baggs, Wyoming. We
understand that our “community” is beyond our
immediate area and see it as our mission to serve
the regional needs of northwest Colorado. Our
awards, including the Healthgrades Patient Safety
Award, Guardian of Excellence Award and our
collaboration with the Mayo Clinic Care Network
demonstrate the high-quality care we deliver.
The strategic plan is designed to meet the chal-
lenges of the future while continuing to meet the
needs of our regional community. There are four
key areas of the plan: patient experience, people,
finance and growth.
We seek to:
• Achieve optimal patient healthcare experiences and outcomes
• Create excellence through the development
of physicians and employees
• Maintain a financial position that will allow
future self-determination
• Establish an integrated regional healthcare
delivery system
As we look to the future, we are excited about
the possibilities in growth and collaboration. We
will continue to work with national and local providers to offer the very best in health care to the
residents of northwest Colorado.
The New Mobility Program at Yampa Valley
Medical Center is the first program in Colorado to
be designated as a Center for Advanced Recovery.
The program is part of a national best-practice
model for hip and knee replacements.
YVMC’s New Mobility team of physicians,
therapists and nurses are committed to continuous
improvement through the ongoing measurement
of outcomes. As part of the nationwide network,
the Center for Advanced Recovery offers a proven
approach.
According to patient surveys, 94% of New
Mobility patients would definitely recommend the
program to a friend or family member. Additionally,
94% of New Mobility patients leave the hospital
sooner and go home, vs. to a rehabilitation facility.
Some members of the New Mobility team: Kathy Baucke,
Dr. Jerry Wiedel, Marie Timlin, Jacquie DeRisio, Andy
Jacobi, Anne Lowe, Ron Wheeler, Wes Hunter and
Lorna Lambert.

Messages from Leadership
Message from the Chief Medical Officer
Our medical staff is pleased to become part of
the Mayo Clinic Care
Network. Because of our
size and remote location in
northwest Colorado, this
collaboration is especially
significant. Moving forward,
YVMC physicians will be
able to benefit from Mayo’s
leading research and experDr. Larry Bookman
tise as they treat patients
here at home. As they consider the care needs of their patients, YVMC physicians will have the ability to reach out to Mayo
Clinic specialists.
It is noteworthy that prior to joining the network,
all members undergo a rigorous review process to
ensure their commitment to the delivery of health
care through high-quality, data-driven, evidence-based
medical care and treatment. YVMC is proud to
have been invited to join this special group.
As members of the Mayo Clinic Care Network,
a number of tools will be available to YVMC
physicians including:
• AskMayoExpert, an online medical resource
created to provide the latest Mayo-vetted information on disease management, care guide-
lines, treatment recommendations and reference materials for a wide variety of medical
conditions.
• eConsults, a service that allows physicians to
connect electronically with Mayo Clinic specialists to get input on specific patient care
questions.
• Health Care Consulting, a service that allows
members of the network to learn more about
how Mayo Clinic operates, and how its clinical
care and practice models are designed and implemented.
YVMC and Mayo Clinic share the commitment
that health care should be provided close to home
whenever possible. We are working with Mayo
Clinic so our patients can benefit from leading
medical expertise and physician collaboration that
is focused on keeping care close to home.
~ Dr. Larry Bookman
Message from the
Chief of Staff
Our patients are constantly giving us positive
feedback about the care they
receive at YVMC so we
were not surprised when this
past year, YVMC received
two significant awards.
In July, YVMC was recognized by Healthgrades
as being in the top 5% of the nation in patient safety.
Healthgrades Inc. is an organization that develops
quality and safety ratings of health care providers,
including hospitals, nursing homes, physicians and
dentists.
The ratings are derived from publicly available
patient safety data and analyzed with proprietary
technology developed by Healthgrades. A
Healthgrades rating is an important indicator of
the quality of care that patients receive. YVMC’s
ranking in the top 5% of all hospitals in the United
States means that our physicians, nurses and staff
deliver care that results in exceptionally safe and
consistent results.
In November, YVMC’s Emergency Department
received a 2013 Press Ganey Guardian of
Excellence Award. This is especially significant
since Press Ganey surveys patients from more than
half of all U.S. hospitals.
The award recognizes YVMC’s Emergency
Department for consistently achieving 95th
percentile performance in patient satisfaction
during the one-year reporting period from May
2012 to April 2013.

Community Benefit
Benefitting Northwest Colorado
As a non-profit hospital, YVMC strives to give
back to the community by providing education
and supporting a variety of non-profit events and
organizations.
The ongoing “Taking Care of Me” series of free
educational presentations provided community
members with the latest information on a wide
range of topics including bladder cancer, prostate
cancer, diabetes, women and heart health, seasonal
affective disorder, back, knee and joint pain, holistic
medicine, meditation and the prevention of bullying and suicide.
This past year saw the launch of the “Real Food”
series. Dr. Charlie Petersen of Yampa Valley
Medical Associates and registered dietitians Laura
Stout and Cara Marrs of YVMC’s Integrated
Health created this program to address the ongoing
confusion about food and nutrition. The monthly
programs have developed a loyal following and
have covered a wide variety of topics including
genetically modified foods, tips for healthy grilling
and “superfoods.”
In March, YVMC’s Integrated Health presented
the “Finding Balance Forum,” an all-day event at
Colorado Mountain College. The event featured
programs on nutrition, mindfulness meditation,
stress management, acupuncture, fitness training,
yoga and Qigong. More than 70 community members enjoyed the introductory remarks by Dr. Will
Baker, Cardiologist, Dr. Charlie Petersen, Internist,
and Angela Melzer, LCSW, OTR/L, Director of
Integrated Health.
YVMC believes in supporting other non-profits
in the community. In the past year, the following
organizations benefitted from YVMC’s generosity:
After Prom Party - North Park and Steamboat Springs
American Cancer Society
Center for Personalized Education
Colorado Physician Health Program
Colorado Senior Residences (Casey’s Pond)
Friends of Perry-Mansfield

Doak Walker Care Center
Farewell to the Doak
With heartfelt hugs and
more than a few tears, Yampa
Valley Medical Center bid
farewell to the residents and
care team of the Doak Walker
Care Center on October 29, 2013.
Thirty families assisted in the well-coordinated
move. Within five hours all 58 residents were safely
settled into their new home at the Casey’s Pond
senior living campus.
For 34 years, the skilled nursing home was an
important part of the hospital’s spectrum of
services. Our connection began in 1979, when the
troubled Alpine Meadows Nursing Home nearly
closed. At community request, the hospital took on
the long-term care operation, renamed the building Routt Memorial Extended Care Center and
established an award-winning standard of care.
In 1981, GrandKids Child Care Center opened
in a wing of the ECC. The bonds that formed
between children and elders proved that love is
ageless and generations can grow together. Though
GrandKids remains on the YVMC campus, the
intergenerational program continues as preschoolers
and toddlers regularly visit their friends at the new
Doak Walker House for activities.

YVMC Annual Report 2014 • yvmc.org
While it was difficult to end this chapter of
YVMC history, we are excited about the new experiences that Casey’s Pond residents will enjoy.
YVMC Chief Executive Officer Frank May
summed up our feelings:
“We celebrate the addition of a new community
asset that enhances the lives of people in our
region and also feel sadness for the departure of the
residents and staff who have been an integral part
of our organization for the last 34 years,” he said.
“The Doak Walker Care Center was one of the
best long-term care and skilled nursing homes in
the country. To the staff involved in the care of the
Doak residents, we say thank you. Our organization
will not be the same without you.”
Former Administrator Lee Dickey, now Chief
Quality and Innovation Officer at Casey’s Pond,
praised the team effort.
“As part of the Routt Memorial Hospital and
Yampa Valley Medical Center organization, our
nursing staff cared for hundreds of amazing residents,” Dickey said. “Many people have supported
our efforts, working long and hard to earn rightful
recognition as one of the outstanding long-term
care homes in the nation.”
Patient Thank-Yous
Patient Thank-Yous
I am a family physician who has worked in two
different hospitals. The care I received at YVMC
was more than excellent. The physicians, PA, nurses,
radiology techs, lab techs, OTs and PTs were so
kind and knowledgeable. I was impressed in how
well I was taken care of.
I have been disappointed in the quality of care
my mom received recently in two different hospitals,
and I wondered if this was the way hospitals were
run these days. But YVMC changed my thinking.
I had a wonderful experience (despite my broken
hip) at YVMC. I was given top notch care & everyone was kind and courteous. Thank you so much. I
cannot say enough wonderful things about YVMC!
~ Lynne Kirkland, MD, Alabama
…Every single person at YVMC did an outstanding job! Every single one of you was friendly,
helpful, efficient and a competent professional who
knew his or her job very well. My care was awesome!
Every meal was delicious and I did not experience
a loss of appetite while I was in the hospital.
I even had a room with a view of the blue sky
and people walking their dogs which helped me
tremendously. Thank you for the wonderful plush
blanket. Love it! We are very fortunate to have
YVMC in Steamboat! Thank you all for the
excellent job you do.
~ Janice Guffy, Total Knee Replacement Patient (New Mobility)
…On December 24 my husband was taken by
ambulance to your emergency room at YVMC.
He was treated very professionally by everyone
we came in contact with at your center from the
people checking us into the emergency room to
all the doctors and nurses.
…It’s not often in this day and age that one can
say “everyone” was special, but in this case it was
true. Please extend our gratitude to all these folks.
~ Sharon & Bruce Shealy, Maumelle, AR
…Everyone didn’t just do their job, they did
their job with love, and the love made all the difference.
~ Angeli Skalberg, Baggs, Wyoming
Just a note to say “thank
you” for the wonderful care
Walter received while in
the hospital in Steamboat
Springs.
…What a beautiful hospital it is too. We feel so
good to know our grandchildren and two great
grands have such a nice hospital near them. Thank
you again for your help and kindness.
~ Walter & Mary Taylor, Tallahassee, Florida
The staff was wonderful – they made me feel so
comfortable and relaxed while being very professional & efficient!!! THANK YOU!!!
~ A mammography patient
This was our second childbirth at Yampa Valley
Medical Center and the care is phenomenal.
Overall great experience because of the nurses &
doctors. Amazing hospital – they work as a team.
~ A Family Birth Place patient
My heartfelt appreciation
to the ED physician and my
co-workers in the Emergency
Department – I can’t imagine what it was like to see
someone you know so well
come through the door. I’m
also very grateful to the oncall physicians and the rest
of the YVMC staff that continued to care for me
until I was transferred to Denver.

Pediatric pneumonia. Hypothermia. Acute
coronary syndrome. What do all of these disease
states have in common? They have all been topics
for training in the HBB Simulation Lab at YVMC.
In April 2012 the lab opened for training of
YVMC staff and students. Funds for construction
of the lab were generously donated by the HBB
Foundation. Since that date, over 125 clinical
nurses have been trained in scenarios ranging
from pediatric pneumonia to hypothermia to
acute coronary syndrome. These trainings take
place three times a year.
“The SimLab mannequins, fondly named
‘Marge’ and ‘Homer,’ offer the opportunity to learn
new skills or refresh training for both new and
experienced clinical staff,” Staff Development
Coordinator Debby Harris said. “We are also excited
about a new mannequin for training in obstetrics.
“The training is especially important for low-volume, high-risk cases because it allows clinical staff
to practice procedures they are not often called on
to perform,” Harris said.
“Often we are able to give the nurses an introduction to complicated diagnosis along with the
actions and tools for their use.”
In the past year, the SimLab has trained staff
on the following diagnoses or conditions: acute
coronary syndrome, stroke, hypoglycemia, seizures,
sedation and sepsis for children and adults.
In the fall of 2013, the SimLab partnered with
Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat Springs
to train the Emergency Medical Technician class.
“The SimLab provides a great environment for
students to treat medical emergencies in safe, yet
realistic scenarios that mimic as real-to-life situations
as possible” said Tim Baldwin, EMS Coordinator,
Colorado Mountain College-Alpine campus.
“The feedback we had from our students about
the SimLab training was overwhelmingly positive.
Working together, the students were placed in
stressful situations and even had the opportunity to
communicate patient reports to the Emergency
Department physicians,” Baldwin added.
New Clinical Education Council
The Clinical Education Council at YVMC is a
team of nurses representing a variety of clinical
departments including Obstetrics, Patient Care Unit,
Intensive Care Unit, Special Care Nursery, the PostAnesthesia Care Unit, Emergency Department,
and the Operating Rooms. The purpose of the
group is to address ongoing education needs from
all nursing areas of YVMC. The nurses collaborate
with senior leaders to design hands-on educational
programs. Nurses participating in the Clinical
Education Council include Susan Engle, Katie
Noble, Kristin Kotkas, Julie McFadden, Sarah
Kerrigan and Priscilla Schultz.
Laboratory
Laboratory Has New Leadership
Up to 70 percent of all decisions regarding a
hospital patient’s diagnosis and care are based on
tests that are processed and interpreted behind the
scenes in medical and pathology laboratories.
Yampa Valley Medical Center’s Laboratory
provides a vital link between our care providers
and the people we serve. Pathologist Dr. James
Hopfenbeck has good reason to be excited about
strengthening that link.
“We recently installed a new tracking system for
our laboratory specimens that puts us on par with
larger labs in metropolitan areas,” Dr. Hopfenbeck
said.
The equipment allows for positive identification
of each specimen from the time it enters the laboratory through slide preparation and distribution
to the pathologist. This technology helps reduce
the risk of labeling errors and inconsistency.
“The tracking system enables us to put a bar
code on every specimen we handle,” Dr. Hopfenbeck
said. “Not only does this ensure patient safety,
the advanced technology enables us to view slides
remotely. We can provide a faster diagnosis and
improved outcomes for our patients.”
According to Dr. Hopfenbeck, the technology is
only a few years old, and YVMC is one of the few
hospitals in the intermountain region that has
installed the system.
A native of Denver, Dr. Hopfenbeck joined
YVMC as the pathologist in September 2013 after
20 years in practice at Lutheran Medical Center
and Rose Medical Center in Denver. He earned
his medical degree at Northwestern University
and completed his residency and fellowship at
the University of Utah affiliated hospitals. Dr.
Hopfenbeck replaces Drs. William Cox and Greg
Achenbach following their retirement.
With 14 years of experience in the YVMC lab,
new Director James Wirta is dedicated to providing
accurate, timely test results to enable physicians to
make correct diagnoses.
“We can run thousands of tests, but we are
very aware of being cost-effective and medically
appropriate,” Wirta said. “That’s why it is so
important for the lab team to work with the doctors
to determine which tests will be most likely to
provide answers to their medical questions.”
Dr. James Hopfenbeck and James Wirta
Brad Noble, MT (ASCP), has been with the Laboratory
for 21 years.

Where quality outcomes, patient experience,
and patient safety are concerned, we continue to
set our sights higher.
Our Emergency Department received the prestigious Guardian of Excellence Award from
Press Ganey for consistently being in the top 5%
of hospitals in patient satisfaction in 2013.
YVMC was a recipient of the 2013
Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence
Award which also placed us in the top 5% of all
hospitals for excellence in safeguarding patients
from serious, potentially preventable complications during their hospital stays.
The “Partnership for Patients” campaign is a
national patient safety initiative that aims to reduce inpatient harm by 40 percent and avoidable
readmissions by 20 percent in U.S. hospitals over a
three-year period. With YVMC’s ongoing participation in this important initiative through the
Hospital Engagement Network, we were successful
in achieving ZERO patient harm incidents in
2013 in the following categories:
■
■
Catheter associated urinary tract infections
Central line associated blood stream
infections
■
■
■
Early elective deliveries
Pressure ulcers
Surgical site infections due to MethicillinSensitive Staphylococcus Aureus (MSSA)
■ Ventilator associated pneumonia
■ Venous thromboembolism
In 2013, YVMC instituted a quarterly Summit
of Excellence award that recognizes hospital departments and multidisciplinary teams that have
demonstrated excellence in improving overall
quality and/or safety of care. Reward recipients
for 2013 included:
■
The Respiratory Therapy department for
their Arterial Blood Gas project. This
project increased efficiency, patient satisfaction and quality by providing a mobile
point-of-care testing process that helps
ensure accurate patient identification, and
delivers immediate test results to the
physician.
■
The Bedside Medication Verification
(BMV) team which included nursing,
pharmacy and health information technology professionals. This project improved
patient safety by automating the process of

the risk of infection that could occur from
children receiving the wrong breast milk
from improperly labeled bottles.
We Are Listening
The Hospital Consumer Assessment of
Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPs) is
a national survey that asks patients about their
experiences during a recent hospital stay. It covers
topics such as how well nurses and doctors communicated, how responsive hospital staff were to
patient needs, how well the hospital managed
patients’ pain, and the cleanliness and quietness of
the hospital environment. Based on data available
on the Hospital Compare website, our patients
rated YVMC higher than the Colorado average and national average on ALL ten important hospital quality topics surveyed in
2013. The following graphs show how we compared on patients’ overall rating of YVMC, and
on how likely our patients are to recommend
YVMC to friends and family.
We feel very blessed and
proud to live in Steamboat
where every experience at
YVMC is excellent and we
love to recommend it!
I have been in the ER
numerous times in my life…
different hospitals. This was
way beyond my expectations.
What great people and a great
facility.
Thank you. Would
recommend YVMC without
hesitation. Great caring,
knowledgeable staff.
So lucky to have a hospital of
this caliber in our town.

1 4 YVMC Annual Report 2014 • yvmc.org
High Quality and High Value
Care, Close to Home
Providing Timely and Effective
Care When You Need it Most
In an era where the cost of healthcare has skyrocketed and in which patients demand, and
should expect, the highest quality of care at the
lowest possible cost, we compare favorably to other
hospitals in Colorado and across the nation in
terms of the cost of care. The “Spending per
Hospital Patient with Medicare” graph shows
whether Medicare spends more, less, or about the
same per Medicare patient treated in a specific
hospital, compared to how much Medicare spends
per patient nationally.
In 2013, YVMC performed well on measures
that show how often we provide care that research
shows gets the best results for patients with certain
conditions. The table on page 17 highlights some of
these comparative scores (higher scores are better):
When you or someone you love experiences an
illness or injury that needs immediate attention,
you can take comfort in the fact that we have an
Emergency Department that is staffed by
board-certified physicians and highly trained nurses who deliver lifesaving care with a combination
of compassion and efficiency. Timely and effective
care in the ED is essential for good patient outcomes. Delays can reduce the quality of care and
increase risks and discomfort for our patients with
serious illnesses or injuries.
Our patients spent an average of 194 minutes
being treated in the ED before they were admitted
to the hospital, compared to 248 minutes for
Colorado hospitals and 275 minutes for hospitals
nationwide (lower is better).
Patients at YVMC spent an average of 105
minutes in the ED before being discharged home,
compared to 137 minutes for both Colorado hospitals and hospitals nationwide (lower is better).

Cancer Outcomes Report
Message from the Medical Director, Cancer Services
Stacy J. Childs, M.D.
1 6 YVMC Annual Report 2014 • yvmc.org
As you may have heard by now, YVMC’s Cancer
Care program earned accreditation with
“Gold-Level” commendation from The Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons
in November 2013. The journey to accreditation
was a long one. To earn Commission on Cancer
accreditation, a cancer program must meet or
exceed 46 CoC quality care standards, be evaluated
through a survey process and maintain levels of
excellence in the delivery of comprehensive, patient-centered care.
Only 30 percent of all hospitals in the United
States are accredited by the CoC. YVMC’s
accreditation came with “commendation,” the result
of exceptional teamwork and commitment by
numerous physicians, care providers and leaders
at YVMC.
This accomplishment could not have happened
without the support and guidance from our former
CEO Karl Gills, our current CEO Frank May, the
YVMC Board of Trustees, and the dedicated
physicians and staff who have served on the
Cancer Committee for the past four years.
The CoC Accreditation Program provides the
framework for YVMC to improve its quality of
patient care through cancer-related programs that
include prevention, early diagnosis, cancer staging,
rehabilitation, lifelong follow-up for recurrent
disease, and end-of-life care. As a CoC facility, our
treatment protocols are measured against national
standards using the National Cancer Data Base.
Community members in northwest Colorado
benefit from a range of services from a variety of
health care practitioners including surgeons, oncologists, oncology nurses, patient navigators,
diagnostic radiologists, pathologists and other
cancer specialists.

Screening Programs
Colorectal Cancer
In March, community members were able to
pick up free Hemosure Colorectal Kits. The kits
were then processed at no charge. Out of the 12
kits that were picked up, seven were processed with
one positive finding.
Prostate Cancer
As part of the annual community health fair in
September, PSA blood tests were made available
to community members at the low cost of $30.
Over 210 PSA tests were evaluated. Of these, 16
patients had an elevated PSA over 4.0.
Breast Cancer
In October, a special pink insert was created
for two local newspapers, Steamboat Today and the
Craig Daily Press with the message for women to get
screened. A link was created on the Cancer Care
webpage so that individuals could forward a
reminder message to their friends. This link was
accessed by over 1,170 individuals.
During the month of October and early
November, extended hours were offered during
evenings and on Saturdays for mammography
screenings. During this time period, 267 patients
received mammograms. Of those, 2 were positive.
In 2013, YVMC performed a total of 2,774
screening and diagnostic mammograms and ultrasounds with 22 positive findings. For those positive
cases, each individual was notified within 24 hours
and follow-up took place.
2013 Community Outreach
Prevention Programs
To inform our community about the range of
our Cancer Services, a comprehensive 12-page
brochure outlining all aspects of our cancer program was mailed to over 10,000 residents of Routt,
Moffat, Jackson and Grand counties in December
2013. During this past year, the cancer website has
been enhanced with more information. More than
500 individuals have accessed the website.
The following programs were presented to community members during the calendar year 2013:
Whole Person Wellness Programs
A monthly series of talks titled “Whole Person
Wellness Programs” was offered at Yampa Valley
Medical Park. Each month an expert in the field
discussed a single topic. Subjects that were addressed
included exercise, yoga, nutrition, acupuncture,
massage and Qigong, communication with health
care professionals, journaling and mindfulness
meditation.
Cancer Program
Striving for Excellence
In collaboration with Rocky Mountain Cancer
Centers of Denver, YVMC Cancer Care Program
offers each patient and their families a full array
of services to overcome the barriers and negative
effects of cancer.
In 2013, 80 newly diagnosed cancer cases
were treated at YVMC. All of these individuals
were navigated by a licensed clinical social worker
and the cancer service program director. These
individuals were offered patient care notebooks,
counseling, genetic and nutritional counseling,
rehabilitation therapies, and education on the
availability of clinical trials.
YVMC is fortunate to have a talented group of

physicians and caregivers who actively participate
on the Cancer Committee and Cancer Conference.
This multidisciplinary group meets on a regular
basis to discuss and identify best treatment protocols
for individual cases. In 2013, Cancer Conference
presented and discussed over 50 cases. The most
common cancers presented were breast, prostate,
colorectal, melanoma, and lung.
Additionally, each year the cancer committee
identifies annual goals for the Cancer Care Program.
The goals encourage and challenge the multidisciplinary team to constantly strive for excellence in
serving our patients and their families.

Healthcare Foundation
Greetings from the Healthcare
Foundation and Board
Since 2002, the Healthcare Foundation for the
Yampa Valley (HFYV) has raised funds to support
YVMC with its mission “to
provide outstanding healthcare to those we serve
through safe, personalized,
quality care.” Tax-deductible
donations from grateful
patients, benefactors and
volunteers enable YVMC
to carry on this important
work for the well-being of everyone in this region.
YVMC provides a wide spectrum of sophisticated
healthcare services, delivered with the personalized
care one would expect of a small town. Our medical facilities are the envy of communities throughout this country that rival us in size and complexity.
YVMC continues to make improvements to meet
the demands of a rapidly growing population and
fast-evolving healthcare industry. These enhancements are often more costly than the hospital can
support through operations. The Foundation seeks
to meet funding needs so YVMC may continue to
deliver top patient care.
In its infancy, led by my longtime friend and
fraternity brother Steve Dawes, HFYV raised funds
as tasked by the YVMC’s Board of Directors. The
HFYV became a feisty adolescent under the leadership of Chair Diane Tarnoff, acting where it also
saw needs, along with responding successfully to
other fund-raising challenges as tasked by the
YVMC Board of Trustees. Two community events,
“The Penguin Plunge” and “The Doc Willett
Awards,” came into being during this time. HFYV’s
focus now, in its adulthood, has intensified. Led by
former Chair Wade Gebhardt who passed the reins
to me last July, we amended our By-Laws to state
that our sole function is to raise funds for YVMC for
the benefit of the patients it serves. We will continue
our activities to address and fulfill the specific needs
of YVMC as directed by its Board of Trustees.
We have also increased work on Major Gifts and
Planned Giving programs with our very capable
staff led by Executive Director Liz Finegan. The
benefits of planned giving, which was nurtured by
former Executive Director Sandy St. Clair, has
recently born fruit, as you will read in this Annual
Report in the funding of the Gloria Gossard
HFYV Board of Directors: Kris Bensler, Geneva Taylor, Karen

We are also taking steps to increase our
Endowment to help YVMC meet the healthcare
needs of all those we care for in perpetuity.
Thank you all for your continuing and generous
support.
Sincerely,
James J. Moylan, Chair

pool, while chickens kept their feathers dry on the
sidelines and cheered their aquatic friends. The
refreshing plunge raised more than $101,000 to
benefit YVMC’s Cancer Care program.
Gloria Gossard Supports
Breast Health Center
Gloria Gossard is fondly remembered for her
many contributions to a variety of causes in
Steamboat Springs, including the Tread of
Pioneers Museum and the Bud Werner Memorial
Library. However, her generosity did not stop
there. In her lifetime Gloria Gossard contributed
more than 20 gifts to Yampa Valley Medical
Center. Her legacy of giving includes a major gift
to the Healthcare Foundation for Yampa Valley
Medical Center, making the construction of the
new Gloria Gossard Breast Health Center a reality.
Gloria had a history of supporting the special
needs of women. She recognized the importance
of a well-equipped hospital and compassionate
people and believed care from friends and neighbors
makes a difference. One of her more significant
gifts provided funds for the purchase of digital
mammography equipment. This more recent gift
brings a new level of technology and tranquility to
the special care given to women at YVMC.
The state-of-the-art equipment includes new
technology for breast MRI. Dr. Terese I. Kaske, a
renowned radiologist, has joined YVMC staff as
the Medical Director.
“Gloria has given with grace. She encouraged
everyone to be part of the giving to our hospital so it
can continue to provide the best services to people
here,” stated Geneva Taylor, one of her closest friends.

Letter from the Executive Director
Yampa Valley Medical Center was founded on a
tradition of giving that continues today through the
dedication of many individuals and organizations,
based locally and throughout the country. We can
never truly express how grateful we are to our
donors who help us realize our mission every day.
Annual Fund
Projects and programs like cancer care, patient
care room upgrades, the Family Birth Place, the
Breast Health Center and nursing education count
on support from the Annual Fund. We do this on
behalf of the patients and families we have the
privilege of serving.
Fundraising Special Events
The 10th Annual Penguin Plunge and the 5th
Annual Doc Willett Awards Celebration both
enjoyed unprecedented success this past year. The
Healthcare Foundation is humbled by your commitment to top-notch healthcare for our community
and this northwest region.
Major Gifts
The Foundation received notification that an
anonymous gift of $1 million was given to the hospital to be used for the purchase of specialized surgical equipment. A magnanimous gift of this kind
truly demonstrates the strong regard and fondness
members of the community feel for YVMC.
Estate Planning
Two estate gifts from longtime Steamboat
Springs residents were received by the Healthcare
Foundation for the Yampa Valley. Many of us think
we cannot contribute much to the non-profit organizations we deeply value. Annual charitable donations are extremely important, but often the most
significant lifetime gift an individual can make is
through an estate plan. The Healthcare Foundation
can assist you in making a planned gift. From cash
to real estate to personal property, the Foundation
staff is ready to assist you and your advisors.
We are truly grateful to be living in a community
that cherishes its 100-year healthcare organization
and one that recognizes the need for a thriving and
vital hospital into the future. Necessary and exciting
changes to Yampa Valley Medical Center make
this hospital one of the outstanding places to
receive care. Our exceptional doctors, nurses and
care providers achieve the impossible every day.
We need your continued support, and we only do
what we can because of donors like you. Your dollar
goes beyond fulfilling our goals as an organization–
it shows you care. Thank you.
