On November 3, 1952, Gibson Community Hospital
(GCH) officially opened its doors to the public. On
this first day the hospital would see three patients, at a
semi-private room rate of $8. Sixty years have passed
and a lot has changed since the very first patient
was seen at the hospital. While the exact number of
improvements, awards and changes Gibson Area
Hospital & Health Services (GAHHS) has experienced
over 60 years is nearly impossible to calculate, GAHHS
has numerous highlights to reflect on.
While GCH did open in 1952, its history starts on
November 30, 1946 when it was chartered as a notfor-profit organization. Ground was broken nearly five
years later on May 23, 1951 after organizational efforts
to secure Federal Hill-Burton Act Financing as well as
State and local funding. The land was purchased from
R. Aldo and Georgie Briggs and would be surrounded
by farmland for many years. 17 months later GCH held
its first open house on October 18-19, 1952. This first
open house saw over 4,000 area resident tour the new
GCH, which was featured in the June 1954 issue of the
national publication, “The Modern Hospital”.
The final cost of the new GCH was just over $800,000,
with another $70,000 required for initial operating
expenses. While government sources paid approximately one-half of the building cost, local residents
had to raise nearly $500,000 for their portion of the
bill. This was quite a feat considering that in 1952 that
national average income was just under $4,000.
On November 10, 1952, seven days after the hospital
opened, GCH had its first birth; a baby girl was born
to Mrs. James Fawer. That first year of operation the
hospital would admit 1,207 patients and deliver 209
babies. Also in the first year the hospital employed
32 people, a skeleton crew compared to the over 500
4
people employed by GAHHS today.
While the hospital was seeing a fair amount of patients,
it wasn’t until the end of the 1955 fiscal year that GCH
would report its first net gain. A year later in 1956, the
patient rooms of GCH had window air-conditioners
installed for $6,000.
Continuing with improvements, in June 1957, additional land to the east of hospital was purchased from the
Briggs’; this land would be eventually become the Long
Term Care Facility (Annex). On April 2, 1962 ground
was broken for the GCH Annex, a 40-bed long-term
care facility. Because it was connected to the hospital
it was touted as the first of its kind in rural Illinois. On
May 26, 1963 the Annex held an open house which had
a final cost totaling $585,000; $350,000, that was raised
through contributions. Currently, the corner stone of
the Annex contains a copper box to be opened in the
year 2062.
On July 1, 1966 the Federal reimbursement program
Medicare officially began. Then Administrator Robert
Jones predicted hospitals would become dependent on
Federal money and non-Medicare patients would end
up paying more! Also that year in October new x-ray
equipment costing $100,000 was installed. At this time
the hospital payroll was reported at half a million dollars.
Two years later in 1968, GCH would obtain it first
general surgeon specialist on staff, Dr. Marcos Que.
GCH would also obtain the services of general surgeon
Dr. Somchai Supawanich.
In 1971, GCH became affiliated with Parkland
College and its student nursing training program; this
partnership with Parkland is still in effect today.
1973 saw the start of weekend emergency room
physician coverage; 20 years later that coverage would
become 24-hour service. In 1974, GCH would continue
to expand its emergency coverage to include a 24-hour
ambulance service.
1977 marked the 25th anniversary for GCH. To
celebrate this milestone the hospital held an open house
with a dinner, dance and a commemorative publication.
The open house would also show off the just completed,
three-phase renovation project costing approximately $400,000. These renovations included an updated
air handling system, updated electrical system and a
renovation to the kitchen. In the first 25 years of
operation, the hospital had spent over $1.5 million on
just additions and improvements.
Jumping six years ahead to 1983, GCH installed its first
certified Heliport. This Heliport would be used until
nearly 20 years later, in 2002, a new heliport was built.
The next major highlight for GCH would come in the
form of a $3 million renovation project in 1992. This
renovation project, located on the west side, consisted
of an all new power plant, a two-story addition which
housed the outpatient and intensive care facilities and
major renovation to existing spaces, such as adding
toilets and showers to patient rooms and relocating the
Emergency Department.
In 1996, GCH broke ground on a $622,500 project
to greatly expand the emergency department. This
project would double the space of the existing
Emergency Department. In 1998, the Therapy Services
& Orthopaedic office building would be completed at a
cost of $800,000. That year GCH would officially change
its name to Gibson Area Hospital & Health Services, to
better reflect the expanded health care roles and service
area it provided.
A year later, in 1999, Gibson Area Ambulance Service
achieved Paramedic-level Ambulance service and the
Foundation became incorporated. 2000 saw another
expansion year with the addition of the Surgery and
Radiology wing. Area residents raised nearly $1.5
million to help fund the multi-faceted project.
2002 saw another growth project for GAHHS, this
time; however it would be on the Paxton Clinic. After
purchasing the land just north of the former Paxton
Clinic a new Paxton Clinic was built. In 2008, a new
expansion project, estimated at $750,000, expanded the
Paxton Clinic north and doubled the Paxton Clinic is
size. This new addition housed new physicians as well
as added X-ray capabilities to the Clinic. Currently,
GAHHS is renovating the former Paxton Clinic office
space to offer more specialties clinics and physicians to
Paxton and the surrounding communities.
Jumping back to 2006, GAHHS continued to grow
its Emergency Department capabilities with a $5
million addition to the Emergency Department. This
project created a two-story, 20,000-square-foot total,
addition to the hospital’s west side and would triple
the floor space of the old Emergency Department.
Some of the improvements included going from 5
patient-care rooms to 8, with all eight offering more patient
privacy. This new addition also housed the CT
scanner and MRI, bringing all radiology services
together on the hospital’s first floor. Also in 2006,
GAHHS was recognized as a “Most Wired” hospital and
imaging became digital.
2008 was another big project year for GAHHS in
terms of aesthetics and services. In April, a $1.6
million renovation of the Annex was completed, the first
5
in 45 years. The project took two years to complete and
updated residents rooms, two rooms at a time. Other
improvements included new sinks and toilets designed
for wheelchair accessibility, a new heating and cooling
system that allowed each room to individually control
the temperature, new energy-efficient windows and an
earth-tone color scheme for the interior renovations.
Also in 2008, GAHHS began construction of the Family Health Clinic of Farmer City building. The clinic,
built for Family Practice Physician Dr. Darrin Ray, cost
$250,000 and is 2,000 square feet.
In 2009, GAHHS was recognized by Arbor Associates,
Inc., A National Patient Satisfaction Survey Company,
with the Arbor Award for Highest Overall Patients
Satisfaction in the Nation; GAHHS won the Arbor
Award again in 2011.
GAHHS has a history of making great decisions on
how, where and when to expand, recent history is no
different. In 2011, GAHHS purchased the property
directly south of the hospital and created an employee
parking lot, which would become invaluable during the
current Project 2012. Also in 2011, GAHHS utilized
the space next to the Ambulance house in Paxton, and
created the Community Wellness Center (CWC), thus
filling a void in the Paxton Community when Champion Fitness closed its doors in 2010.
2012 saw the ground breaking of Project 2012, a $6
million renovation to renovate that last original
piece of GAH. Utilizing the empty space above the
Emergency Department created in 2006, this new space
will enhance our abilities to provide great maternity
care for our patients, as well as increase our surgical
capacity to provide more surgical services at GAHHS.
6
Project 2012 is scheduled to be complete around the
end of September 2013 and will give GAH a new state
of-the-art OB unit, 60% larger than the current OB unit.
With the increased size, the new OB unit will have 5
private Labor, Delivery, Recovery and Postpartum
(LDRP) rooms with top of the line amenities. These
new LDPR rooms will allow expectant mothers to
remain in the same room during their entire hospital
stay. In addition to the new OB unit, Project 2012 will
also increase the size of the current surgical unit by
about 6,000 square feet. This added space will allow for
an additional surgery suite and six new private inpatient
rooms.
2013 looks to be another great year for GAHHS.
GAHHS has already been nationally recognized by
Health Grades as a Five-Star Rated Hospital for Joint
Hip Replacement and Hip Fracture Treatment. In
January, GAHHS will be recognized by the
Women Certified with a Women’s Choice Award for a Best
Hospitals for Patient Experience in Obstetrics.
Although some of the faces and names have changed,
the building has expanded and the services are too
numerous to mention, GAHHS will continue to strive
“to be THE model of excellence in community-based
healthcare”.

Annual Report
Jim Hood commented on a job well done by Administration and pointed out to the Association
that in 1952 there were 26 employees and that today there is over 430 FTE’s (full time employees)
and then turned over the floor to CEO Rob Schmitt for his annual report.
Mr. Schmitt reported that Fiscal Year 2011 was a successful year for Gibson Area Hospital &
Health Services (GAHHS). Fiscal Year 2011 was a testament to the fortitude of patience,
perseverance, and strong strategic planning of GAHHS. The organization continued a tremendous growth rate of 19%, improved operating net income by $3.0 million from FY2010, invested
in additional members of our Medical Staff, and continued our journey to be one of the first
Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) in the Nation to meet the meaningful use criteria established by
the Federal Government.
Rob reminded the Association of the Gibson Area Hospital & Health Services Strategic
Goals: #1Growth: Achieve thoughtful growth in services that are central to our mission.
#2 Medical Staff: Provide our physicians with an outstanding environment in which to practice
medicine. #3 Quality & Service: Provide excellent patient care. #4 Facilities, Technology &
Financial Stewardship: Assure that facilities, technology and financial resources are available for
our continued growth and development. #5 Community Focus: Strengthen our role as a health
care resource and leader in the community and throughout the region.
Growth – The hospital added a second ambulance crew to the Paxton station, allowing faster
response times to patients, as well as providing nursing home transfers to the area providers.
GAHHS also opened a new Community Wellness Center in Paxton in September 2011, filling the
need left when Champion Fitness closed in May 2011.
Medical Staff – New Medical Staff were successfully recruited to GAH. Dr. William Price,
Orthopaedic Surgeon; Dr. Joe Norris, Orthopaedic Surgeon; Dr. Scott Morgan, Urologist;
Dr. Chad Tattini, Plastic Surgeon; Dr. George Bark, Family Practice, and Dr. Gary Kerber,
Interventional Radiologist all joined the GAHHS staff in 2011.
12
Quality and Service Excellence – Improving quality remains our most important goal. We
continue to participate in publishing our hospital data in national quality databases, although
we are not mandated to do so. Our Board of Directors underscored its responsibility for quality
care by assigning three of its members to the Quality Committee of the Medical Staff. Emphasis
on operational excellence permeates this blueprint for our future activities. We continue to “raise
the level” in terms of staff skill level requirements. Our patient satisfaction scores continue to be
in the upper 90th percentile as measured by patient surveys.
Facilities, Technology, & Financial Stewardship – Facility development continues to keep our
attention. A new parking lot, plans for a new storage facility, expansion of the Paxton Clinic, and
a new Wellness Center in Paxton tops the projects in 2011.
Community Focus – During the year we provided support for community organizations, events,
and projects in many ways. Combined with our subsidized services and unreimbursed costs,
the amount was almost $11 million. GAH continues to work with area employers on employee
health. We provide flu shots to Solae and Alamo Group employees as well as all GAH volunteers
and staff. We continue to be a major supporter of all local not-for-profit organizations, including
Telecare, American Cancer Society (Relay for Life) and area youth groups.
OUTLOOK FOR 2012 – GAHHS remains well positioned for the future. 2012 is expected to be
an outstanding year in all facets of the organization. 2012 will see a continution of the growth of
the organization. We live our Vision each and every day. We will maintain our high standards of
patient satisfaction and customer service. And we will remain focused on continually improving
patient care and services to the residents of the communities we serve.
Special Presentation
Mark Spangler, M.D. was then introduced. Dr. Spangler indicated it has been his privilege to be
a family physician in Gibson City for the last 16 years. He has served on the Board of Directors
for the last 6 years. During these past years he has always heard from his patients and people in
Gibson City/Ford County area how lucky we are to have the hospital.
13
How proud people are to have a hospital in their town and how much having the Hospital is
appreciated by the community.
He went on to say, “tonight on behalf of the Board of Directors, we think it’s the other way
around. It is the hospital that is blessed to have such a supportive and dedicated community
supporting us; that allows us to complete our vision of being ‘the model of excellence in
community based healthcare’. It is because of the dedication of the individuals that the hospital
has been so successful.”
In recognition of this, the Board of Directors has decided to create an “honor society” that
identifies those members of our community that have been paramount in the success of Gibson
Area Hospital. This honor society will recognize persons in one of three categories: Physicians,
Volunteers and Employees; whose service has been meritorious in both its longevity and its
significance and notability. We have chosen to elect nine people into this society tonight. Three
from each category. And we will plan to elect new members each year and announce them at this
Annual Association meeting.
Dr. Spangler went on to say that this was very educational for him, as a newbie (at least by
Gibson Hospital standards) to research the history of the hospital and contributions of the nine
inductees. He quickly realized that we could name this society after anyone of the honorees. But
there was one honoree whose dedication has spanned the entire history of the hospital. He was
here 60 years ago when ground was broken in 1951; he worked as a physician here for 40 years;
who after his retirement served on the Foundation Board; he works tirelessly raising money for
expansion projections (contributing his own in the process); and who to this day, 60 years later,
thinks everyday, about ways we can improve the hospital and meet the demands of our mission.
The Board of Directors has decided to name our “Hall of Fame.”, the Sunderland Society in honor
of first inductee tonight, Dr. Paul Sunderland. The other inductees included Dick Walter who
served on the Board of Directors for 39 years; Frank “Shug” Hunt, Jr. and one of the original
Board of Directors; Doris Winters, RN who served 37 years; George Elfers, MD on the Medical
Staff from 1954 to 1985; D.K. Roth, original VP of Board of Directors and served as President of
the Board of Directors; Carol Mosson, RN, served 42 years; E.C. Bucher, MD, first Chief of Staff;
Maybelle Hufmeyer, first Director of Nursing for 16 years then Director of M&S for 15 years.
14
Recognition of Special Guests
President Jim Hood honored the GAH Auxilian of the year, who was once again
Janet Jensen. Janet recorded 446 volunteer hours of service, with Mary Timm recording 399.
Mr. Hood recognized all of our volunteers who put in countless hours assisting in the day-to-day
operations of the Hospital and reminded the Association of the many items that the Auxiliary
buys for the hospital each year. Jim Hood went on to say that 5,595 meals for Meals on Wheels
have been delivered and that these were sent out of our own Dietary Department under the
direction of Ted Swanson.
Nominating Committee Report
Steve Kelly, Chair of Nominating Committee, reported there were two Hospital Board
Members whose terms had expired and that the two had agreed to be re-elected to the Board,
these members are Margo Martin and Nancy Krumwiede. The Nominating Committee
unanimously approved these nominations to serve 4-year terms. Mr. Kelly then asked if there
were any nominations from the floor. Hearing none, David J. Hagan, M.D. moved, seconded by
Neil Nelson, M.D. to close the nominations and to approve the nominations as recommended
by the Nominating Committee. Motion carried.
GAH Foundation Report
Jeff Austman, Chairperson of the GAH Foundation Board reviewed the Foundation report that
was included in the program. He pointed out that the vital energy of the organization has been
Jill Arends who spends countless hours organizing and creating opportunities to make our
presence known and to direct fund raising. It is with great sadness that Jill has resigned as
Foundation Director. Jill’s energy and enthusiasm has been evident in many aspects of the
Hospital and the Foundation. To name a few, the BEST Golf Outing in Illinois, fabulous Spring
Events, formerly the GALA; and assistance in Open Houses and Retirement Receptions. Jill’s
absence will leave a great void in the Foundation and Hospital functions. Kathy Hess, Executive
Secretary in Administration, will take on the roll as Foundation Director, while continuing to
perform her Administrative duties. Kathy has learned from the best, Jill Arends, and will do a
15
wonderful job for the Foundation.
The annual Golf Outing was held at Railside Golf Club and netted nearly $30,000. The Spring
Event “A Red Carpet Event” brought in a net income of around $6,000, which was donated to the
Auxiliary for their projects.
Mr. Austman then honored the retiring Foundation Board members, Camilla Lohmeyer and
Viola Kumpf.
New Foundation Board members include June Bishop, Jerry Minnion and Diane Heyman.
Closing Remarks
In his closing remarks, Mr. Hood thanked Kathy Hess and her team, Kat Streenz, Denise
McMahan and Drue Hilligoss.
Mr. Hood went on to say Administration is working diligently to keep the hospital healthy and
growing. Our leadership, volunteers, and Medical Staff are a tribute to the dedication of the staff
that spends their time in service to others.
Adjournment
Being no further business, Doug Hager moved, seconded by Neil Nelson, M.D. the meeting be
adjourned. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:37 p.m.

GIBSON AREA HOSPITAL & HEALTH SERVICES
CEO’S ANNUAL REPORT
October 2011 – September 2012
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Fiscal Year 2012 was a record setting year for Gibson Area Hospital and Health Services (GAHHS).
Fiscal Year 2012 was a testament to the fortitude of patience, perseverance, and strong strategic
planning of GAH. Fiscal Year 2012 was another great year for GAHHS. The organization continued a tremendous growth rate of 17%, improved operating net income by over $4.1 million from
FY 2010, invested in additional members of our Medical Staff, and completed our journey to be
one of the first Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) in the Nation to meet the meaningful use criteria
established by the Federal Government.
NOTABLE SUCCESSES / PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE
Gibson Area Hospital and Health Services is led by an outstanding Board of Directors. Together
with the Medical Staff and Administration, they set the direction and future goals of the organization through the Strategic Plan. The Board retreat was held in March 2012, and from that
retreat a Strategic Plan was developed. With its completion, the organization looks to the future
and took several important steps to position itself for a successful future while continuing to improve the services provided to the residents of the communities we serve. The five main goals of
the Strategic Plan are listed below.
QUALITY & SERVICE EXCELLENCE – Deliver outstanding patient care that exceeds
national benchmarks for quality and patient satisfaction
Improving Quality remains our most important goal. We continue to participate in publishing our hospital data in national quality databases, although we are not mandated to do so. Our
Board of Directors underscored its responsibility for quality care by assigning three of its members to the Quality Committee of the Medical Staff. Emphasis on operational excellence permeates this blueprint for our future activities. We continue to “Raise The Level” in terms of staff skill
level requirements. Our patient satisfaction scores continue to be in the upper 90th percentile as
measured by patient surveys. The National Patient Safety Goals have been adopted as a part of
our culture.
22
Human Resources are absolutely essential to our continuing success. Our Auxiliary, Foundation,
and Hospital fund scholarship and tuition reimbursement programs that currently provide assistance for 25 health professions students.
Recognition of Accomplishments
In October of 2012, GAHHS was recognized by Healthgrades as a Five Star Hospital for Orthopedic Surgery. GAHHS was also recognized by WomenCertified as a “Preferred Hospital” for OB
services. It is a testament to the hard work, commitment, and dedication of our staff, physicians,
Board members, and volunteers that GAHHS is able to maintain this high level of service.
Dr. Kate Austman was named Rural Physician of Excellence in 2012 by the Illinois Rural Health
Association.
HOSPITAL & PHYSICIAN ALIGNMENT – In partnership with our physicians, develop a
coordinated system of care that can successfully adapt to industry changes.
New Medical Staff were successfully recruited to GAH. Dr. Laura Smith and Dr. Adree Venatta
joined the GAHHS staff in 2012. Dr. Paul Naour also joined GAHHS as an Anesthesiologist
providing Pain Management.
GROWTH – Achieve thoughtful growth in services that are central to our Mission
New Services
The hospital started providing Gero-Pysch services on an outpatient basis. The hospital also began offering Orthopedic Spine surgery in 2012.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT – Strengthen our role as a health care resource and leader in
the community & throughout the region
Community Support
During the year we provided support for community organizations, events, and projects in many
ways. Combined with our subsidized services and unreimbursed costs, the amount was over
$11.4 million. Over the past six (6) years, GAH total community benefit is over $56 million.
Please see our 4th Annual Community Benefit Report handed out at this meeting.
23
GAH continues to be a major supporter of all local not-for-profit organizations, including Telecare, American Cancer Society (Relay for Life), and area not-for-profit groups.
FACILITIES, TECHNOLOGY, & FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP – Assure that facilities, technology, and financial resources are available for our continued growth and development
Facility Development continues to keep our attention. Project 2012 is a major expansion project
that includes a new OB Unit, new OR suites, and new Inpatient rooms.
Financial Strength is a necessity. In 2012, GAHHS finished with an all time record Net Income.
We also accomplished a lot of smaller infrastructure and equipment improvements. GAH maintains a very strong balance sheet. GAH also set new patient volume records in several departments as we continue to provide more care to the communities we serve.
OUTLOOK FOR 2013
GAHHS remains well positioned for the future. 2013 is expected to be an outstanding year in
all facets of the organization. 2013 will see a continuation of the growth of the organization. We
LIVE our Vision each and every day. We will maintain our high standards of patient satisfaction
and customer service. And we will remain focused on continually improving patient care and
services to the residents of the communities we serve.
MISSION STATEMENT
To provide personalized, professional healthcare
services to the residents of the communities we serve.
VISION STATEMENT
To be THE model of excellence in community-based healthcare.

The Gibson Area Hospital Foundation exists to champion the mission and provide support for Gibson Area Hospital & Health Services (GAHHS). The Foundation Board consists of 18 board members. This past year we said
good-bye to one of our outstanding Board Members, Melanie Warfield, and in turn welcomed Claudia Dewitt,
from Hoopeston, to our Board.
Kathy Hess, our Foundation Director, has guided us to another successful year. In the Spring we held the Red
Carpet Event at the Kruse Center. The ‘Gibsy Awards’ was the theme for this event, modeling the popular ESPN
ESPY Awards event. With the help of the Auxiliary we raised $6,200 at this event, which was given to the Auxiliary to aid in its projects.
We also had our 23rd annual Golf Outing, “Fore” the Hospital, at Railside Golf Course. This popular event helped
raise a record $30,000! Our community sponsors and outing participants play a vital role in the success of this
function. This event takes a large number of volunteers and we appreciate all who donated their time and effort.
This was the first year of the Foundation transitioning a portion of our funds to Country Financial. This will
hopefully allow us to net a greater return on our assets. As of September 30, 2012 we had almost $4.4 million in
this account. This account is monitored by our Investment Committee along with the Hospital Board Finance
Committee, and our CFO. This past year, we received donations in excess of $225,000 which includes our portion of the Verna Buck Estate. The Foundation also recorded $200,000 as a conservative estimate of the value of
the land from that Estate.
Your Foundation grants that are used for Scholarships are to full time employees who meet the written guidelines.
FY2012 we had 24 participants receiving $34,656.193; 8 were in an RN program, 5 in BSN, 6 in an advanced
nursing program, 2 in the paramedic program and 3 in Physical Therapy/Speech/Athletic Training program.
Because of the generosity of the communities we serve, we are able to continue supporting GAHHS in its vision
to be “the model of excellence in community-based healthcare”.
Thank you for your continued support.
Jeff Austman
Chairperson, GAH Foundation

GAH Auxiliary President’s Report
November 1, 2011 - October 31, 2012
GAH Auxiliary has been very active this year with volunteers contributing
thousands of hours of service to GAHHS. The Auxiliary has promoted and advanced the welfare of the Gibson Area Hospital by serving as volunteers at the information desk, juice cart,
gift shop, making cakes for the Annex, making tray favors, delivering mail, decorating for
Christmas, helping with School Tours, working in the Annex Garden, volunteering for
fundraising events, making hats for newborns and many other areas of service. We are
proud to have 39 lifetime members, 157 active members and 12 Jr. Auxiliary members in our
organization.
On November 9, 2011 the Auxiliary hosted an Open House outside the Gift Shop in
the waiting area of Radiology. We welcomed several new members and opened the Gift
Shop for some extra shopping hours!
The hospital was beautifully decorated in December. Chairman of Christmas Decorations
Ann Spangler and Paula Spangler came up with the ideas and, along with their committee,
trimmed several trees in the waiting areas of the hospital.
The Love Lights a Tree Fundraiser successfully raised $12,840 under the
chairmanship of Sue Walker and Maggie Sparks. With the proceeds from these generous
donations and some reserve funds, the auxiliary purchased three heated treatment chairs
for the Outpatient Clinic at a cost of $9,989.38. An elliptical exercise machine was also purchased for the Cardiac Rehab Department at a cost of $3,424.95.
Volunteer orientations were held on April 24, 2012. Benjie Pardick worked with the
IT Department and had the orientation presentations recorded on a CD. Now the process of
training new volunteers has been greatly simplified with all needed information in one place.
This was the year when the proceeds from the 2011 Red Carpet Event were dispersed.
30
Eight of the hospital owned clinics were given the opportunity to receive $500 for some
item on their “wish list”. Following is a list of each clinic and how their gift was used:
Cosmetics-Landscaping
Hoopston-Artwork for waiting room
Farmer City-Counter remodel
Family Health Care #7-Break room appliances
Paxton-EKG machine
Forrest-Paint, maintenance
Onarga-Phlebotomy chair
Fairbury-Vacuum, sound machines, maternity books for new parents
Showers of Flowers was held on February 13, 2012. Auxiliary members met early
in the morning to help wrap and distribute carnations for hospital employees. Thanks to
Kathy Hess for organizing this much appreciated event!
The Gift Shop continues to be an asset to the Auxiliary and GAH. In March a
Credit/Debit machine was installed in the Gift Shop to make shopping more convenient
for staff and visitors. Gift Shop managers Angie Davis and Kara Royal work very hard to
display and market the merchandise in our Gift Shop. We appreciate all their hard work and
creativity.
Bloodmobile Chairperson Jeanette Hensley oversaw two blood drives this year.
One was held on March 5, 2012 and the other was held on September 25, 2012. Due to
unforeseen circumstances the March 5 blood drive had to end early and netted 11 units of
blood. The September 25 blood drive received 32 units of blood. Two $10 Gift Shop Gift
Certificates and two $25 Gibson Bucks were given away at each blood drive event.
Bridge Marathon Chairman Bill Dueringer reported the Bridge Marathon was
successful with $600 being raised for the Auxiliary.
31
Doctor’s Day was celebrated on March 30, 2012. Co 1st vice presidents Sue Walker
and Maggie Sparks showed our appreciation to our great doctors by presenting our Gibson
City doctors with a box lunch and our out of town doctors with chocolates from Black and
Whites Confectionery.
Numerous volunteers from the hospital staff and Auxiliary helped with the School
Tours in April. Over 650 students from fourteen schools got the opportunity to visit
Materials Management, Lab, Annex, OB, M&S, Radiology, Dietary, Laundry and the all
around favorite Ambulance garage. Students received a t-shirt, refreshments and giveaways
from each department they visited. We thank Benjie Pardick for the wonderful job she does
organizing this program for the hospital.
One on-going project of the Auxiliary this year has been updating our membership
book. With the help of membership chairperson Jimmie Lange, Benjie Pardick, Kathy
Hess and Denise McMahan, committees were updated and all members received a new
membership book.
A new committee chairman was added to our already established committees.
Miranda Leonard is the new chairperson of the Jr. Auxiliary members.
Auxiliary members supported the Foundation’s Spring Event on April 14.
Volunteers helped with the decorating and registration for “The Gibsy Awards”. After the
event, Foundation Director Kathy Hess presented the GAH Auxiliary with a check for
$6,200. At this time discussions are still being held about how these funds will be dispersed.
Junior Auxiliary members conducted a Prom Fashion Show for the residents of Long
Term Care on April 15, 2012. Everyone enjoyed the event and all involved are looking
forward to having the event in 2013!
Our Spring Banquet was held at the First Presbyterian Church on Monday, April 16.
Meladee Ferguson catered a delicious meal. Kenna Dunlap Johnson, Director of Geriatric 32
Behavioral Services gave an informative program about the services offered by her department. Musical entertainment was supplied by Prairie City. The band members are Joe
Hafer, Don Petersen, and Gabe and Annette Fairchild.
Our Auxiliary had the opportunity to award five young people with scholarships
at our Spring Banquet. Noel Livingston received the William and Viola Garrett Scholarship. Billy Masco received the Arthur and Ane Jensen Noland Family Scholarship. The Dr.
Cristina Medrano Scholarship recipient was Shannon Teubel. The two Auxiliary Scholarships were presented to Collin Steidinger and Logan Elliott.
Also in April, the Auxiliary received a monetary gift from the Verna Buck Estate. A
bequeath in the amount of $4,180.00 was given to the Auxiliary to be used for scholarships.
The Annex Garden Committee planted many new perennials this spring. We received a request from the residents of Long Term Care to add color and some “old favorites”
to fill in some empty spaces in the garden. The hospital gardener was instrumental in trimming shrubs and keeping the new plants watered during this extremely dry summer.
Nurse’s Appreciation Week was May 6-12. Michele Bein and Beverly Zebarth, co
2nd vice presidents, prepared and delivered fruit baskets to honor 100 nurses employed by
GAHHS. This is just a small token of the appreciation the Auxiliary has for the great nurses
employed by our hospital.
On May 29, 2012 the Auxiliary co presidents were privileged to be invited to participate in the ground breaking ceremony for Project 2012. We look forward to exciting
changes in the OB and Surgical units!
The Auxiliary is pleased to display artwork, done by area art students, in the halls of
GAH. Our Artwork Chairman Miranda Leonard and several Jr. Auxiliary Members change
the artwork regularly so our visitors can enjoy seeing what talented youth we have in our
communities. The Auxiliary recently purchased 30 new frames to highlight the displayed
33
artwork.
The Fall Luncheon was held on Monday, Oct. 1 at Railside Golf Club. A delicious
lunch was served with approximately 70 guests attending. Ann Spangler installed the
officers for 2012-2013. They are co presidents Maggie Sparks and Susan Walker,
co vice-presidents Michele Bein and Beverly Zebarth, second co vice-presidents
Diane Benway-Lewis and Kathleen Reum, secretary Barbara Horsch and treasurer Dianna
McMurry.
Leigh Ann Sharp, the chairman of volunteer hours, reported 3,593 volunteer
hours turned in. Mary Timm is the Volunteer of the Year with 462 hours recorded.
Mona Summers, Shirley Jackson, Edna Goembel, Janet Jensen and Mary Timm all
volunteered more than 150 hours each in the past year.
Teresa Benjamin, a mammologist in the radiology department, gave an informative
program on the importance of breast self examination and receiving regular mammograms.
Tammy Kendrick gave a program on her recent trip to Guatemala. She and her husband Ed
took all four of their children on a mission trip to Guatemala with a group of about 30 other
people from the area. Tammy was able to show us with her PowerPoint presentation and
her excellent description of living conditions what a different culture there is in Guatemala.
It has been a privilege to serve as Co Presidents of the GAH Auxiliary this year. The
support we have received from our board, the hospital administration and staff and the
many volunteers that generously give of their time has made our job very easy. We have
made new friends, witnessed all the wonderful things that are happening at GAHHS and
feel very honored to have been a part of it.
Respectfully submitted,
Bonnie Schutte and Kathy Eagleson
