2003 - OLBH Foundation

Free health screenings are one
example of how OLBH benefits
the community.
Special Edition
CHAIRMAN’S
CORNER
Dear OLBH Supporter,
As chairman of the Our
Lady of Bellefonte Hospital Foundation during
2003, it has been a privilege to have the opportunity to participate in
the mission of OLBH.
Through my tenure with
Frank H. Warnock
the
foundation, I have
Chairman, OLBH
come to better appreciate
Foundation Board
how OLBH truly provides “good help” to those
in need.
This special edition of Our Lady. Your News. is
dedicated to the work of the OLBH Foundation
and the hospital’s community commitment activities. I hope you enjoy this annual report to the
community. In it, you will read about many of
the things we on the foundation board have had
the privilege of being involved with throughout
the course of the last year. I think you will find
the vast number of areas funded by the OLBH
Foundation impressive, and I hope you will consider becoming a donor, as approximately 1,000
of our community members did in 2003.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank
each of the donors listed within this publication,
for without you there would be no foundation.
Your continued support of OLBH’s mission has
made possible the achievements we document
in this report. Please read and enjoy the stories
of our successes, and for those who have not
yet joined our forces, know that you too can
touch the life of someone by making a donation
to the OLBH Foundation. Information on how
to do so can be found elsewhere in this issue, or
by calling the foundation at (606) 833-3655.
Sincerely,
Frank H. Warnock
Chairman, OLBH Foundation Board
OLBH Community Commitment and Foundation Annual Report
Your Caring at Work: Miracles in our Midst
Ask anyone in the Sloan family to
describe youngest member Jacob, and
you are very likely to hear the word
“miracle.”
Jacob is the six-month-old son of Matt
and Kelli Sloan. Not long after Jacob
was born, his doctors discovered a tumor in his stomach. The Sloan family
was understandably concerned, but faith
kept the family hopeful for a positive
outcome. That positive outcome came
when a two-month-old Jacob inexplicitly showed no signs of the tumor. There
is no explanation for the tumor’s disappearance, other than “miracle.”
Despite the tumor’s disappearance,
little Jacob continued to have difficulties
due to an allergy he developed to milk
protein. The allergy required he nurse
from a special formula only available
from the United Kingdom at an exorbitant monthly cost of $460. This is
when a miracle of a different type began to unfold.
Cheryl Cook, M.D., pediatrician at
Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital, informed the Sloan family that financial
assistance for the formula was available
through a fund established at the OLBH
Foundation in memory of Dr. Cook’s
husband, Jonathan. Jonathan Ferguson
oversaw the Members Choice Credit
Union at OLBH, in addition to being
heavily involved in civic events, such as
the Ashland Christmas Parade. A fund
of the OLBH Foundation, the Jonathan
A. Ferguson Endowment provides for
financial and benevolent healthcare assistance. The use of monies from the
endowment’s interest is one of the more
flexible funds managed by the foundation. Among the purposes for which the
endowment can be used are the purchase of pediatric or oncology equipment, benevolent care for pediatric or
oncology patients and families, and to
provide support for the annual OLBH
Christmas party for underprivileged children. In this instance, the fund helped
provide the desperately needed formula
for Jacob.

Department for nearly 25 years. In her
time at the hospital, Cosie had seen all
manner of unexplained healings, but to
see divine power at work in her own
family was especially comforting. “Matt
and Kelli (Jacob’s parents) would like
to thank everyone for their support and
their prayers,” Cook said. “It got them
through a very difficult time that they
were not anticipating. The family especially thanks Dr. Cook for enlightening
us to the Jonathan Ferguson Endowment.” The formula purchased with help
from the fund and extra donations from
those familiar with Jacob’s situation has
the child “doing amazingly well,” according to his grandmother.
“Situations such as what faced little
Jacob are perfect examples of how those
who have donated to the OLBH Foundation can truly make a difference in
someone’s life,” Michael Stautberg, head
of the OLBH Foundation, said. Miracles
can happen without notice, and other
times miracles can be helped along.
“Donations to the foundation can certainly allow us to help those in need,
and to lessen the burden of that need,”
Stautberg said.
In December, a healthy 3 1/2 month
old Jacob, with a little help from his
father, lit the OLBH Auxiliary’s Lights of
Love Christmas tree. “I think he enjoyed
seeing the lights and all the hustle and
bustle, but I must admit he did not like
the reindeer that was walking the hall,”
Cook joked.
Despite Jacob’s improved situation, his
family still must acquire the expensive
formula for him monthly. “Jacob will
continue on the special formula until he
is at least one year old,” Cook said. “The
specialists will then decide, after some
minor testing, if he needs to continue.”
When asked what she would say to
those unaware of the OLBH Foundation,
Cook encouraged everyone to become
familiar with the foundation’s work to
serve people with unmet needs. “However, it takes people to be generous with
their donations in order for the foundation to be as generous as they are,”
Cook said. “I would encourage people
to give. I know first hand what a help
they are in trying times.”
Donations to the Jonathan A. Ferguson
Endowment, as well as any of the designated funds managed by the OLBH
Foundation, can be made by contacting
the foundation office at (606) 833-3655.

CFIA is a health ministry working to address
the needs of the elderly and disabled in
Greenup, Boyd, Carter, Lawrence, and Elliott
counties. The mission of CFIA is to provide
help to organizations that desire to serve the
poor, needy, elderly, and disabled. CFIA recruits
volunteer caregivers from the community to
help those in need. In 2003, Conley trained 57
volunteers to provide service to individuals
who contacted CFIA for assistance. Some of the
services provided by volunteers include respite
care, light housekeeping, laundry assistance,
meal preparation, yard work, and shopping assistance.
Grant funding for CFIA has been provided by the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Bon Secours Health System Inc. Mission Fund, and the
Foundation for the Tri-State Community. The program also is dependent upon the community for
financial support. All services are free.
People of varied ages and faiths, from teenagers
to retirees, are invited to join in this unique opportunity to develop their own personal ministry.
Current volunteers share their experience of receiving more from their CFIA relationship than
they ever believed possible.
Conley, a Greenup County native, joined OLBH
in 2003. She graduated from Kentucky Christian
College in Grayson with a double major in Education and Bible. She previously coordinated
grant programs for Greenup County Schools and
Shawnee State University.

BENEVOLENT CARE ASSISTANCE
Benevolent Care Funds - Approximately 30 percent of Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital’s service population lives below
the poverty level. Because of the ever increasing need for medical assistance, OLBH has expanded its benevolent care
to reach its patients, Community HealthWatch Partnership congregations, and its own employees. The funds are to be
used as a last resort for basic needs (i.e., healthcare, food, clothing, shelter) when all other resources fail.

Community Commitment and Foundation Annual Report
OLBH Grant Success for 2003
One of the primary ways the OLBH Foundation raises funds for the many programs it supports is through the writing of grant proposals. OLBH has had good success
and recieved several notable grants during the hospital’s fiscal year of 2003. The agencies below are a partial listing of those whom granted OLBH’s written requests
between September 1, 2002, and August 31, 2003:
AEP - $5,000. The AEP gift was used toward the OLBH Foundation’s
Expanding Horizons capital campaign. AEP has given an additional $5,000
in fiscal year 2004 to purchase diagnostic vascular equipment.
timesaving effort allowed the center’s staff to spend more time providing services to
those in rural areas where both economics and access may prevent them from otherwise seeking these services.
Amgen - $500. The pharmaceutical company provided an educational
grant for the support of the OLBH Foundation’s Horizon of Hope fundraiser. The annual fundraiser raises awareness and funds for breast
care at OLBH.
Ironton Moose Lodge - $500. The Ironton Moose Lodge generously granted $500 to be used for needs of Pediatric patients at OLBH. The lodge’s mascot, Mookey, presented the check to OLBH officials in a ceremony conducted
in the Pediatrics Department.
Sisters of Bon Secour Ministry Fund - $12,000. The Bon Secours Health
System Ministry Fund generously provided monies to support benevolent
prescription needs for OLBH patients.
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation - $6,630. OLBH’s Mobile Health
Center has been the proud recipient of grant funding from the The Lexington
Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. during 2003.
Thanks to support from the foundation, OLBH’s Mobile Health Center has been able
to collaborate with Kentucky Home Place in Lewis, Greenup, Carter, Boyd, Elliott, and
Lawrence counties to provide health fairs in which breast health care was given referred
women who are underinsured, or do not qualify for the state’s cervical and breast cancer
screening program. The Mobile Health Center has provided breast health care, including clinical breast exams, mammography, and education about self breast exam and the
need for follow-up to the Kentucky Homeplace referrals. The Mobile Health Center
tracks these patients in the data system to send reminder notices for yearly follow-up.
This project has succeeded in instilling the importance in patients to have annual preventative health screenings and begin a healthier lifestyle.
Bon Secours Health System Mission Fund - $79,795. The Bon Secours Health
System Mission Fund generously supported a collaborative proposal on behalf
of OLBH and Community Hospice. The grant award addressed support needs
for the grieving and education for both the lay and faith communities on end-of-life care.
Through the grant, OLBH partnered with Community Hospice to increase the capabilities of area families for end-of-life care in the home, and will form and nurture a close
relationship within the area faith community as an outlet for end-of-life education.
Community Access Program (CAP) - $755,858. The
OLBH Foundation serves as the fiduciary agent for this
grant from the Department of Health and Human Services. The renewal grant was applied for on behalf of the River Cities Community
Health Coalition (RCCHC), of which OLBH is a member. The federal monies supported
Nurse on Call, a telephone triage and resource referral hotline, and MedConnex, a
medication program that provides free or low-cost prescriptions. An initial CAP grant
in fiscal year 2002 established the programs. The RCCHC submitted a proposal for
a third year of additional federal funding from the Healthy Community Access Program (HCAP) for fiscal year 2004, and received more than a half million in additional
program dollars that OLBH is managing on behalf of the coalition.
ConAgra Foundation - $5,000. The grant was the culmination of more
than a year of work between OLBH and officials at ConAgra Foods in
Grayson. The grant provided program support for the Mobile Health
Center.
Foundation for the Tri-State Community - $5,250. The Foundation for
the Tri-State Community supported OLBH with four donations in fiscal
year 2003. The first donation combated the problem of youth smoking.
The donation funded two research-based youth smoking prevention programs [the
Tobacco Education Group and the Tobacco Awareness Program (TEG/TAP)] the hospital champions to show a proactive approach in education and prevention health
programs. The programs were presented in area schools.
The second donation supported OLBH’s Community Faith in Action (CFIA). CFIA
utilizes volunteer caregivers throughout the area to assist their care receiver in the
receiver’s home.
The third donation supported the efforts of Camp Quest, the area’s only day camp
for children and teens with diabetes and/or asthma.
The fourth donation from the Foundation for the Tri-State Community supported the
efforts of the River Cities Community Health Coalition (RCCHC).
Gannett Foundation - $5,000. The staff of OLBH’s Mobile Health Center
received a grant from the Gannett Foundation. The grant benefited many
at-risk individuals who lack either the financial means or the access to
quality medical care. Gannett Foundation funds purchased computer services for the
center which benefited patients by allowing for data collection in the field. This
Marathon Ashland Petroleum - $1,000. Marathon Ashland
Petroleum’s donation of gas certificates benefited Community
HealthWatch Partnership’s van ministry. CHWP is an OLBH prevention-related outreach ministry emphasizing health and wholeness of the body, mind
and spirit. CHWP operates a non-emergency medical 12-passenger curb-to-curb transportation service, equipped with a wheelchair lift, for persons residing within 25 miles
of OLBH who require minimal assistance. Transportation is provided for outpatient
services such as use of OLBH’s Same Day Surgery Center, diagnostic testing, cardiac
and pulmonary rehab, physical therapy, behavioral health services, campus physician appointments, and OLBH outreach centers.
Oak Hill Banks - $250. The OLBH Foundation was proud to receive a
donation from Oak Hill Banks to support the foundation’s Horizon of Hope
fundraiser. The annual fundraiser raises awareness and funds for breast care
at OLBH.
Rural Health Outreach Grant Authority - $336,875.
The OLBH Foundation, through the Department of
Health and Human Services, secured funding for the
Mobile Health Center with a grant from the Rural Health Outreach Grant Authority.
The funds have been utilized to provide assistance for personnel, technical support,
educational materials, computer services, medical supplies and other maintenance
needs to keep this philanthropic service available to those areas where access to
care has been a historic concern.
The center’s staff has used funding to continue its outreach efforts; expand the services to include additional primary care options, such as diabetes care and screenings;
expand clientele base to include services for men; and to actively recruit women into
the center’s programs. All activities address accessibility and affordability that are
barriers to care. The center has utilized the grant to reduce the impact of these barriers
in the Kentucky counties of Lewis, Boyd, Carter, Elliott, Lawrence and Greenup and
Lawrence and Scioto counties in Ohio.

at (606) 833-3655.
