thank you for your gifts
to the mercy hospital foundation.
in 2012 your gifts helped the mercy hospital foundation contribute to the hospital in many ways.
through your generosity, more than $625,000 was given back to the hospital to areas of greatest
need, providing critical equipment, patient education, nursing and health careers scholarships, and
much more. additional gifts directed to mercy hospice care and mental health services meant
that these areas were supported and their endowments, which will help to maintain these vital
services in the future, grew substantially. the many gifts that were directed to specific purposes
such as cancer care and cardiology meant that donors directly impacted patients receiving these
services. thank you for all that you contributed to mercy last year. you’ll find a listing of the full
impact of your gifts on the facing page and pages 6, 15, 16 and 17.
on the following pages you will read several stories about how your gifts made an impact in
2012. We hope you enjoy and are inspired by them. you will also see that you are part of a large
community of individuals who believe in mercy’s mission and support it philanthropically. thank
you for being a part of this amazing group.
the mission of the mercy hospital foundation continues -- to support the hospital in its work to
heal and comfort the sick and improve the health of the community in the spirit of Jesus christ and
the catholic tradition of the sisters of mercy. your gifts have made you a part of this mission too.
We appreciate your confidence in mercy hospital foundation. thank you very much for
your support.

legacy gift Benefits
mercy hospice care
Jaynane “Jayne” lillig was a “gracious, vibrant, warm and friendly” person
according to her big brother, Jim coffman of iowa city.
she was a world traveler with her late husband
mick and following his death, she traveled
with friends. she and her ’63 corvette were
members of the classy chassy cruisers
car club and she presented the chris lillig
memorial cup to the all-around trophy winner
of the old capitol criterium bicycle races held
each spring in downtown iowa city, an award
named in memory of her son chris.
When Jayne was diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer she quickly made sure her affairs were
in order, including charitable bequests. one
of the charities she included was the mercy
hospital foundation with a gift to benefit
mercy hospice care.
Jim said that their mother and an aunt had
received hospice services, and as an active
member of the community Jayne was well
aware of mercy’s hospice unit which opened in
2009. she chose to make her gift by designating
the mercy hospital foundation as the
beneficiary of several iras.
Beneficiary designation of all or a portion of
an ira is a simple way to make a gift. Jayne
met with her ira administrator to complete
the paperwork, ensuring that her thoughtful
intentions would be carried out. her generous
gift supporting mercy hospice care is a legacy
that will help provide care to many patients and
their loved ones now and in the future.

new equipment improves p
each year gifts to the mercy hospital
foundation make available many hundreds
of thousands of dollars for the purchase of
necessary equipment. much of it is used directly
with patients at the bedside, in surgery or in
some type of rehabilitation. other equipment is
critical for diagnostic purposes, such as the lab
or radiology. and some of it helps with support
services such as dietary and housekeeping. the
intensive care unit (icu) and laboratory are
just two of the areas that benefited from donor
support in 2012.

a critical piece of equipment called the arctic
sun 5000 was purchased for use in the icu.
When someone experiences cardiac arrest
outside of the hospital, perhaps at the gym
or while shoveling snow, the patient may be a
candidate for the arctic sun. the unresponsive
patient is rushed to the icu, sedated, and then
the arctic sun goes to work cooling the body
to a temperature of 33 degrees celsius (91.4
degrees fahrenheit) for a period of 24 hours.
this slowing of the body’s metabolism increases
the patient’s chance of neurological recovery.
the equipment then gradually warms the body
back to a normal temperature over a period of
16 hours. “it really is amazing,” says Bunny
morrison, nurse manager of critical care
services at mercy, “to see someone come in near
death and then to see them walk out again. this
equipment is absolutely wonderful to have.”
in the past two years the mercy hospital
foundation has helped to acquire many items
that play a significant role in the anatomic
pathology lab. several of them are part of a
process that is critical for diagnosis. “patients
undergo surgical procedures to have body
parts removed, such as tumors, lesions, organs,
parts of organs, skin, bone and so on,” says Jim
rogers, administrative director of mercy’s
laboratory. “these specimens are initially

patient care
preserved in formaldehyde and taken to the
histology lab to be evaluated by a pathologist.
the pathologist will dissect clinically
significant portions of the tissue to be made
ready for evaluation at the cellular level under
a microscope. also known as a microscopic
description, it is at the cellular level where the
pathologist makes their diagnosis of normal,
benign, or malignant. this is a four-part
procedure that is very exacting and requires
very specific equipment and highly trained staff.”
the mercy hospital foundation has helped
to acquire the newest equipment available to
help this diagnostic process. as Jim describes
it, the first stage is to put the dissected chunk
of tissue through various alcohol and solvent
washes to remove formaldehyde from the
tissue and replace it with liquid paraffin. this
is done in a tissue processor and is usually an
overnight process using a sakura Vip5 tissue
processor. the second stage is to remove
the tissue specimen from the processor and
imbed the tissue into a paraffin block. that is
accomplished using the tissue tek 5. next
the tissue on the glass slide goes through a
staining process where it is exposed to different
colored stains which help differentiate cellular
elements within the tissue. this is done using
the stainer for histology/cytology. finally
the stained slide is ready for examination
under a microscope by the pathologist. “the
foundation’s help with equipment purchases is
wonderful,” says Jim. “We appreciate it.”

Ways of giving
the act of giving is deeply personal. each contribution to
the mercy hospital foundation is received with gratitude and
appreciation. there are many ways to contribute to mercy’s
mission--to heal and comfort the sick and improve the health
of the community in the spirit of Jesus christ and the catholic
tradition of the sisters of mercy--while achieving your
personal financial goals.
Planned and Major Gifts
long-range estate and financial planning
allows you to make a substantial contribution to
mercy while benefiting your personal financial
plans. Bequests, retirement assets, gifts of life
insurance and appreciated securities are among
the deferred giving options that the mercy
hospital foundation would be happy to discuss
with you. for more information, please check
the appropriate box on the enclosed envelope or
contact the foundation office.
Cash Gift
Honorary or Memorial Gifts
the simplest method of providing support
for mercy is with a cash gift. these gifts may
be made with a personal check, credit card
authorization or online by clicking make
a donation at www.mercyiowacity.org/
MercyFoundation.
an honorary or memorial gift is a thoughtful
and meaningful way to recognize a colleague,
friend or relative. the foundation will notify
the honoree or next-of-kin that you have
made a gift. the person being honored or
memorialized is recognized in the foundation’s
annual Report to the Community.
Annual Support
annual support at every level is deeply
appreciated and crucial to maintaining the
quality of our programs and services. if you
wish, you may set up a pledge or direct debit
plan to give monthly, quarterly, or annually.
please indicate your preferences on the enclosed
contribution form.
“i am especially passionate about the
Hospice unit and am proud that we
have this service to offer. the quality
of our patient care is directly related
to the presence of our Foundation.”
Becky Halsch, Hospitalist program
12
Honoring Mercy Caregivers
honoring mercy physicians and caregivers
with a donation through the foundation is a
meaningful way to recognize the extraordinary
care you or a loved one received. upon receipt
of your gift, the foundation will send a letter to
the healthcare professional(s) you have honored
to let them know of your thoughtfulness.
Matching Gifts
many contributors multiply their support
to the foundation by making use of their
employer’s matching gift programs. mercy is
grateful to these companies and foundations
for their generosity. We urge you to ask if your
employer offers such a program. please see your
employer’s human resources director for the
necessary form to send with your gift.
Mercy Hospital Foundation 2012 report to tHe coMMunity
Areas of Support
You may choose to direct your gift to any of the
following areas. If you have additional interests or
questions, please contact us for more information.
Area of Greatest Need
many donors choose not to direct their gifts to
any particular area, making them available for
discretionary use in the area of greatest need.
Arts Program
the arts in all their forms are powerful. they
have the ability to capture our attention, provide
relief, lift our hearts, energize spirits, and restore
a sense of balance. through the visual arts, the
mercy arts program strives to create a healing
environment for patients, family members,
visitors, and staff. mercy’s visual arts collection
continues to grow through generous donations
that allow new acquisitions each year.
Endowment Fund
gifts and bequests are often received with the
stipulation that the principal be maintained
intact and invested to create an ongoing
source of income for a specific purpose. mercy
has created permanently endowed funds to
benefit hospice care, mental health services,
nursing scholarships, and equipment and
facility needs of the hospital. a portion of
the income earned from these funds each year
provides a reliable income stream to support
these areas. additional gifts may be added to
these funds at any time, and you may wish
to create a new endowed fund for a specific
purpose. By creating or contributing to a
permanently endowed fund, you will leave a
lasting legacy to support mercy’s mission and
services into the future.
Equipment and Facilities
gifts and bequests are often received to support
the capital needs of specific areas of the hospital
such as cardiac, cancer, surgery, education and
more. naming opportunities exist for facility
expansion and remodeling projects.
Mercy Hospital Foundation 2012 report to tHe coMMunity
Health Careers Scholarships
thanks to the generosity of mercy employees,
the mercy hospital guild, and others, health
careers scholarships are awarded to high
school seniors who are graduating from
schools in mercy’s ten-county service area and
plan to pursue a career in the health sciences.
the students who are selected receive $1,000
tuition awards that are renewable for up to
four years.
Nursing Education Fund
the nursing education fund is a permanently
endowed fund that awards semi-annual grants.
each year a portion of the investment income,
along with supplemental funds from the mercy
hospital foundation, provides support for staff
to further their professional nursing education.
you may wish to do what other families have
done — honor loved ones with a permanently
endowed nursing award in their name.

sisters are scholarship recipients
in 2012 mercy’s health careers scholarship
program recognized ten years of supporting
students graduating from high schools in
mercy’s service area who plan to prepare
for a health career in college. each year ten
students are selected from a superb group of
applicants for these competitive awards of
$1,000 that are renewable for up to four years.
in 2012 a total of 31 awards were given to
new and continuing students.
two of the current recipients are sisters,
grace and emma Winstead, both graduates
of West high school in iowa city. grace
received the scholarship for the first time in
2010 and is now a junior in the university
of iowa college of nursing while emma is a
freshman in the six-year pharmacy program
at drake university.
grace is glad she chose nursing as a career
after volunteering as a patient escort at the
Va hospital in iowa city while still in high
school. “our older brother served in the
u.s. army after high school and did one
tour in iraq. i wanted to honor his service so
started volunteering at the Va. most of the
escorts were older male vets and it was fun
to meet them and i decided that nursing was
an interest for me,” said grace. for emma,
pharmacy seemed a natural fit with her interest
in chemistry and math. “i really liked chemistry
