The Spirit of St. Mary’s December 2013
A publication of St. Mary’s Foundation
St. Mary’s Foundation’s mission is to improve and enhance services provided for patients and residents of St. Mary’s
Health Care System and to ensure these services are available to those who need them most by providing opportunities
for giving.
Many donors give to help our children. One such child who
has been treated at St. Mary’s is Gibson Williams, a 3-year-old
survivor of a congenital heart condition: he was born with half a
heart. By six months of age, he had been through three surgeries
and had suffered a stroke. Today, with the care of his loving
family, his doctors, and his therapists at St. Mary’s Outpatient
Rehabilitation Center, Gibson is thriving. His mother, Allison,
shares their family’s experience in a video about Gibson on
St. Mary’s website at www.stmarysathens.org/.
Compassion, Care, Integrity and Faith
Dear Donors and
Friends of St. Mary’s,
The Foundation is an important part of the
St. Mary’s team, helping to keep our ministry
in the forefront of health care in our region. By
envisioning our future and working strategically
to make it a reality, St. Mary’s Foundation helps to
make certain that St. Mary’s mission will prosper for
years to come. For that I am very grateful.
My sincere thanks to our Foundation Boards of
Directors – both in Athens and Greensboro, the Committees, Young Professional
Advisory Board, employees and volunteers, whose ongoing compassion, stewardship
and commitment are the bedrock of our system.
Our donor’s wishes are of paramount importance to us. All donors have the
opportunity to designate their monies to various funds established through the
Foundation, such as Hospice, Good Samaritan Hospital, Children’s Service’s and many
others. Donated funds are utilized as directed by our donors to improve and enhance
services and facilities.
I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our many donors, supporters and
volunteers! You are vital to our ongoing efforts to extend our Mission and Values to
our community, allowing us to bring essential new services and build for future needs.
This support gives us confidence that we will not only succeed, but thrive.
2013 has been an exciting year! It has brought significant growth; most notably, the
opening on November 25th of new St. Mary’s Good Samaritan Hospital. Through the
generosity of the community and the work of our Foundation, St. Mary’s will continue
to enhance healthcare facilities, access and services in the greater Greene County area.
Our ongoing capital campaign has already raised $6 million, with a goal of $8 million,
and is providing technologies rarely found in rural critical access hospitals.
Through our outstanding events over $297,000 has been raised to support the many
needs of our patients in the community. These events include the “Take a Chance for
Kids” Raffle, Golf Tournament, BreastFest, Bulldogs Battling Breast Cancer, the Annual
Gala and other events. These events continue to grow and truly make a difference
to our patients. We are thankful to the supporters and organizers or these events,
without which we could not have achieved such great success.
Through partnerships with our communities, donors and employees, the Foundation
has endowed St. Mary’s with modern facilities, equipment and programs. Some of the
disbursements of philanthropic funds for 2013 include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Renovations and furniture replacements for Hospice House and Highland
Hills Village
Fetal Monitors and upgrades for the Family Birth Center
BiPap (respiratory equipment) for Hospice House
On-campus emergency response vehicle for the Emergency Department
Scales for heart failure patients
Hemachron point-of-care blood testing for Cardiac Cath Lab
Financial assistance for Hospice patients in need
Together, we will make a difference and ensure St. Mary’s tradition of excellence,
quality, service, and compassionate health care continues for you and our community
for generations to come. Your energy, enthusiasm, and financial support truly make
a difference in all we do. On behalf of everyone at St. Mary’s and the communities we
serve, I thank you.
Dear Friends and Supporters of St. Mary’s Foundation,
This has been an exciting, challenging and successful year
for St. Mary’s Foundation. Beginning in late 2012, a new
Foundation structure was established for St. Mary’s Good
Samaritan Hospital in Greensboro, Georgia with a Board of
Directors and Committees that have been actively working on
the Capital Campaign for our new hospital. These dedicated
Board and Committee members are successfully leading the
capital campaign to raise $8 million to support furnishings,
equipment and technology. At the time of writing this letter to
you, the Campaign has reached over 75% to its goal. I would
like to thank our entire Board and Committee members for their
tireless and continuing service to St. Mary’s.
St. Mary’s Foundation’s mission is to improve and enhance
services provided for all patients and residents of St. Mary’s
and to ensure these services are available to those who need
them most by providing giving opportunities to the community.
Achieving our mission could not be possible without your
support. I want to thank each and every one of our donors –
community members, employees, physicians and business – who
support St. Mary’s. This support comes not only in monetary
donations, but gifts of time and talent by serving on a Board or
Committee or being an Auxiliary member.
I ask you to consider an additional way to support St. Mary’s
Foundation through legacy giving. Legacy is defined as “what
someone is remembered for or what they left behind that is
revered and has influenced the present day”. Your future gift to
The Legacy Society can help support and sustain St. Mary’s for
generations to come.
Please also take a moment to review the many donors who
continually support the mission of St. Mary’s through our 1938
Society, Good Samaritan Society (physician giving) in Athens.
In addition, the Founder’s Society, The 1949 Society, Business
Partners, and Friends of Good Samaritan in Greensboro. A
special note of thanks goes to our many employees at both
hospitals who work so hard for St. Mary’s and yet still give to
support the cause, L.I.G.H.T.S. (Lifelong Giving Helps the
Spirit). Our employees and Auxiliary volunteers are among our
most valuable assets and we treasure their contributions.
It has been my pleasure to serve as the 2012-2013 Chair of
St. Mary’s Foundation and with confidence turn the leadership
reins for 2014 over to Seth Waltman, Incoming Chair. The
Foundation, through successful partnerships with our
community and our employees, has endowed St. Mary’s with
state of the art facilities, equipment and programs, supporting
St. Mary’s in being at the forefront of our region’s health care
system, both in the Athens and Greensboro area. It truly takes
all of us working together to provide for the health care needs of
our community, especially with the changing landscape of health
care in our country.
Feel better her
Best wishes for a healthy, happy and
peaceful New Year.
With Best Regards,
Don McKenna, FACHE

St. Mary’s Good Samaritan Hospital
The 75,000 square foot, state-of-the-art Critical Access
Hospital is staffed by an experienced group of Board
Certified Emergency Physicians, and will significantly enhance the delivery of high
quality health care services to our community. In recent months, a number of
physicians and specialties have been added and efforts will continue to attract new
physicians to the staff. St. Mary’s welcomes all physicians in the area to apply for
medical staff privileges.
The Good Samaritan Foundation Board and its Committees have been very hard
at work over the last year. The not-for-profit, faith-based Hospital asked the
community for support by raising $8 million in philanthropic funds, or about 15%
of the total cost of the project. These funds assist in equipping and furnishing the
hospital in a “best in class” manner, what the community told us they would like
for their hospital. To date, over $6.2 million has been raised from more than 490
donors with the funds going to acquire such state-of-the-art equipment. We are at
75% plus of the goal. Thank you for this support!
Although we have made great progress, we still have work to do. The hospital still
needs our help in equipping and furnishing the 3rd Operating Room (critical for
recruiting medical specialist to the areas); the Nuclear Medicine Room (a medical
specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and
treatment of disease); and, the Minor Procedures Room (used in the operating suite
for such procedures as cataracts and minor surgery).
Please consider donating to St. Mary’s Good Samaritan Foundation – it will truly
make a difference for health care in our community. Pledges may be made over
5 years and are fully tax deductible to the extent allowed. Donations of all
amounts are appreciated and will be recognized. To make a donation visit
www.stmarysgoodsam.org or contact St. Mary’s Foundation at 706-389-3926.
Sincerely,
Rick Wolfert, Chair

Spotlight: Adam West
St. Mary’s is honored to spotlight
our very own Adam West. A
native of Metter, Georgia, Adam
is the newest member of the
2014 Foundation Board and the
upcoming Chair of the Young
Professionals Advisory Board. He
and his beautiful wife, Beth, have
been married 13 years and reside
in Athens with their 9 year-old
daughter Lanier and 6 year-old
son, Price. Beth is a beloved
teacher at Athens Academy and
both Beth and Adam are active
members at Athens First United
Methodist Church. Adam is also
a member of St. Mary’s Young
Professional Advisory Board and
Director of Sales for TCC Verizon Wireless serving 9 stores
from Statesboro to Athens.
Adam’s goal as a Sales Director is to build business to business
channels in all of the communities he touches. He has designed
a Concierge Program, catering to the needs of customers by
coming to them versus standing in line at the store. He has yet
another goal to create a “Culture of Good” by teaming business
with charities and schools alike.
These Verizon stores donate $10
for every phone activated and $1
for every accessory purchased
in the store to a charity of the
customer’s choice. Adam’s generous
and compassionate heart is an
incredible gift to St. Mary’s and the
communities in which he serves.
In addition to serving as a business
leader, Adam was a 2010 LEAD
Athens graduate, 2010 Athens
Banner Herald Bright Star,
and 2005 Classic City Kiwanis
President. Adam said, “I knew I
had to help in any way I could” in
regards to St. Mary’s Children’s
Specialty Clinic and the services provided. His heart is drawn
sincerely and empathetically. The day Hurricane Katrina
hit New Orleans in 2005 was devastating for many including
Adam and Beth. Their storm however was the loss of their
little boy. He had been born with a severe heart defect and had
seen different specialists across the country. Out of the storm
of their lives, Adam and Beth bring hope with their service and
kindness to St. Mary’s and our community.
Giving Societies
Established in 2005, The 1938 Society is a philanthropic group of individuals who have come together with a shared commitment to the
continual enhancement of patient care and service quality at St. Mary’s. The 1938 Society is open to those individuals pledging a minimum
of $9,690 within a five-year period to strengthen St. Mary’s facilities and services.
The 1938 Society name commemorates the year in which the Sisters came to Athens, at the request of area leaders, to reopen St. Mary’s. The
society supports today’s leaders who represent those same values.
