Dear Friends:
It has been an exciting year at Memorial Foundation. In September, we
celebrated the 20th Annual Golf Invitational, which has contributed more
than $1 million to the Foundation’s Endowment Fund over the past ten years.
In January, Pink! 2012 brought in the largest net proceeds in the event’s
history. And in March, we publically announced the Inspired Heroes
Campaign for Memorial to raise $15 million toward the expansion of the
main campus. I am pleased to report that we have secured almost $10 million
in gifts and pledges to date to meet that goal.
In this year’s report, we will not only spotlight the last year’s successes – we
will look forward to the next generation of inspired medicine by highlighting
the major components of the Inspired Heroes Campaign for Memorial. Many
pieces of the campaign depend solely on donated dollars from the greater
Chattanooga community, and we invite you to show your support.
This is an unprecedented time for health care in our nation and in our region.
With not-for-profit healthcare organizations like Memorial operating on
margins as thin as 2%, we depend on community support more than ever to
advance the latest technologies in patient care. Thanks to your continued
generosity, Memorial will remain a strong health care provider for you and your
family, and to thousands who live in our region.

For the comfort and convenience of cancer patients and their families, Memorial Hospital
opened the state-of-the-art Joseph H. and Alice E. Davenport Outpatient Infusion Center in
November 2011, thanks to funding from the community. The center, located adjacent to
the Patient Entrance on the hospital’s main campus, offers easy access and provides better
coordinated care, and is designed specifically for infusion therapy. Currently the Infusion Center
averages 800 patient visits each month, with visits lasting four to six hours each.
The 3,600 square foot facility has six private infusion rooms, two semi-private infusion rooms,
one isolation bed, and four chairs in a group setting to provide treatment. The various room
options allow patients to choose the setting in which they and their loved ones are most
comfortable. Additionally, the expanded space allows for a dedicated infusion pharmacy which
allows infusion drugs to be accessed faster and provide a safer patient experience.

for infusion therapy patients. The Infusion Center
also features a family oasis (above) to serve the

W estside D iabetes P rogram
Through the generous donation to Memorial
Health Care System Foundation by an
anonymous donor, Memorial Westside
Clinic successfully completed the second
year of its intensive diabetes education
and medical management program that
seeks to benefit both the individual patient
and the community. The heart of the
initiative is extended one-on-one meetings
W ome n ’ s M obile W ell n ess C oach
In 2005, the Memorial Health Care System
Foundation secured funding to purchase
Memorial’s first mobile mammography
coach and then raised additional funds
in 2009 to upgrade the coach with digital
mammography equipment.
The mobile health coach has been a true
success story, reaching thousands of
women over the past six years. In 2010,
the Memorial Foundation was approached
about the need for a second Women’s
Mobile Health Coach to better serve the
hundreds of thousands of women in 24
that allow for individualized coaching on
topics such as understanding diabetes,
diabetes self-management, nutrition, and
motivation for self-care. The program also
seeks to encourage social connection and
healthy lifestyles by sponsoring weekly
exercise classes, monthly healthy cooking
classes, and annual diabetic retinopathy
screenings.
The exercise class is a fun ZUMBA class led by YMCA licensed instructor, Antonio McMath.
Here is what one of our patients has to say about it: “This has been helpful to me. I feel a
lot better when I come. The exercise decreases my aches and helps me breathe better.
This group gives me the initiative to keep going.”
Tennessee counties and 5 counties in
Northwest Georgia, and a campaign was
started to fund the $780,000 project.
Response from the community was quick,
and several leaders stepped up to help,
including Chattem, Mohawk, Pink! 2011
sponsors and patrons, and Memorial
associates. The new coach went on the
road and expands services to include
digital mammography, cervical cancer
screenings, PAP tests, and osteoporosis
screenings and treatments.
“The addition of Memorial’s second Mobile Health Coach will extend care throughout our
surrounding communities with high quality care specific to women, including softer digital
mammograms and breast and cervical cancer screenings. With the support of many
partners, including the AVON Foundation Breast Care Fund and Susan G. Komen for the
Cure Chattanooga, services are provided to all women, regardless of ability to pay.”
– Kathy Dittmar, Director of Women’s Services at Memorial

“I have dropped from dress size 34 to 18. My personality has changed. I was
miserable and now I can walk around the building I stay in and my heart is stronger.
This group helps me stay encouraged.”
– Westside Diabetes Program Participant
Healthful Cooking:
The class highlights practical and affordable
ideas for eating food that promotes healing
and is rich in micro-nutrients. The Westside
Housing Project is located in a food desert,
a term given by the USDA to low-income
areas where a substantial number of
residents (78.6% in our case) have less
than adequate access to a supermarket
or large grocery store. This problem
contributes to an increased consumption
of inexpensive, highly processed foods
that are high in carbohydrates and calories
and low in nutrients. This pattern leads to
obesity and disease. The cooking class tries
to combat this trend with creativity, healthy
community, and fun!
Jennifer Ford, FNP, the director of the
program, says, “I wish you could see the
little boy standing in front of his mother
with his mouth open like a baby bird while
she shells edamame and tosses it into
his mouth repeatedly. She smiles at me
and says, ‘I can’t believe it! He never eats
anything green!’ I wish you could meet the
30-year-old patient who used to visit me
without making any eye contact. At the last
cooking class, she looks me right in the eye,
laughs, and says, ‘I am actually having a
really good time here!’ I wish you could hear
the detailed questions posed by a patient
who is voraciously taking notes. ‘This was
really helpful,’ she says afterwards, ‘When
is the next class?’”
Annual Diabetic Retinopathy Screening:
High blood sugars can cause bleeding from
the tiny blood vessels in the back of the
eyes. Left untreated, these hemorrhages
can lead to blindness. On December 2,
2011 Vanderbilt Medical Center sent Larry
Merin, Director of the Diabetic Retinopathy
Screening Program, to the Westside clinic.
Ophthalmologic pathology was found in
45% of the 72 patients screened, most
of whom were unaware of any problem.
Patients were followed-up with education
and referrals to ophthalmologists through
either Medicare or Project Access. One
patient was at high risk for blindness and
required urgent action to save his vision.
Vanderbilt was kind enough to treat this
patient since his condition was urgent
and he had no insurance. No doubt the
screening saved this patient’s vision and
others as well.
Patient Success Stories:
Of the patients who have attended at least
one extended education and coaching
session since July 2011, 47% have lost
a significant amount of weight and 70%
have decreased their HgA1c levels (A blood
test indicating a three month blood sugar
average).
“Lena” is a 37-year-old woman who
entered the program weighing 346 lbs.
She has diabetes type II, high blood
pressure, high cholesterol, and also
struggles with migraines and depression.
After four months, she has lost 41 lbs., and
her blood pressure and HgA1c values have
normalized. She tells me, “I was miserable
before, and now I am doing something
positive for myself. I have more energy.
I have goals. My family says I look great.
My migraines have decreased, and my
depression has even improved!”
“Don” is a 70-year-old slender gentleman
with a pleasant disposition. He lives alone
and volunteers his time for four hours each
morning to receive a hot lunch. Initially
his morning blood sugars were 232-349,
and his post meal blood sugars were even
higher. His labs indicated kidney damage
due to high blood sugars. Don is motivated
and says, “This is exactly what I need. I have
never known what I could eat.” After several
months of meetings, his morning blood
sugars are 77-118 and his post meal blood
sugars are 167-171. His renal laboratory
values have improved. He has a smile on
his face and says, “We’re going to get it!”
as he leaves our last meeting.

Recognitions
and Awards
Memorial Named One of the
Nation’s 100 Top Hospitals®
For the eighth consecutive year and the
ninth overall, Memorial Health Care System,
has been named one of the nation’s 100
Top Hospitals® by Thomson Reuters, the
health care industry’s leading source of
information on hospital quality. Memorial
Health Care System is recognized for its
hospitals having achieved excellence in
clinical outcomes, patient safety, patient
satisfaction, financial performance, and
operational efficiency. Estimates are that if
all Medicare inpatients received the same
level of care as those in
the 100 Top Hospitals winners, more than
186,000 additional lives could be saved
and about 56,000 additional patients
could be complication free.

Memorial Receives Gold
Performance Achievement Award
The National Cardiovascular Data
Registry awarded Memorial Health
Care System a 2011 Gold Performance
Achievement Award. Memorial is one of
just 171 programs in the nation to receive
the award. This award demonstrates
Memorial’s achievement of sustaining high
performance measures in the treatment
of patients experiencing acute myocardial
infarction (more commonly referred to as a
heart attack) through the implementation
of ACTION Registry-Get With The Guidelines
(GWTG) and in-hospital initiation of the
American College of Cardiology/American
Heart Association recommendations. “The
American College of Cardiology Foundation
and the American Heart Association
commend Memorial for its success in
implementing these high standards of care
and protocols,” said Gregg C. Fonarow,
MD, FACC, FAHA, ACTION Registry-GWTG
Steering Committee Chair and Director
of Ahmanson-UCLA Cardiomyopathy
Center. “The full implementation of acute
and secondary prevention guidelinerecommended therapy is a critical step in
saving lives and improving outcomes of
heart attack patients.”
Memorial Ranked One of the
Best Hospitals in the Country
Memorial Health Care System was ranked
by U.S. News and World Report as one
of the 2011-2012 Best Hospitals in the
Country for its “high performing” ear,
nose and throat specialty. The rankings
showcase 720 hospitals out of about
5,000 hospitals nationwide. Each is ranked
among the country’s top hospitals in at
least one medical specialty and/or ranked
among the best hospitals in its metro area.
The core mission of Best Hospitals is to
help guide patients who need an especially
high level of care because of a difficult
surgery, a challenging condition, or added
risk because of other health problems or
age. “These are referral centers where other
hospitals send their sickest patients,” said
Avery Comarow, U.S. News Health Rankings
Editor. “Hospitals like these are ones you
or those close to you should consider when
the stakes are high.”
Dr. Lee Jackson Chosen
Among Top Doctors
Dr. Lee Jackson, a urological oncologist
at Memorial, was named among the
best doctors in the country by the U.S.
News and World Report Top Doctor list.
U.S. News Top Doctors was developed in
collaboration with Castle Connolly Medical
Ltd., publisher of America’s Top Doctors
and other guides, and was built upon data
from Castle Connolly’s Top Doctors with
the goals of helping consumers find the
doctors who can best address their needs
and enlisting doctors across the country to
share their awareness of who among their
peers are the most worthy of referral. Dr.
Jackson received his medical degree from
the University of Michigan in 1982 and
is Board Certified in Urology. He typically
employs some of the most advanced
and minimally invasive techniques and
equipment available such as the da Vinci
Si robot, which is available in Chattanooga
only at Memorial.
MaryEllen Locher Breast Center
Named a Breast Center of
Excellence
The MaryEllen Locher Breast Center at
Memorial has been named a Certified
Quality Breast Center of Excellence, the
top level certification designated by the
National Consortium of Breast Centers.
Memorial is one of only 15 breast centers in
the U.S. with this designation and the only
one in Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama.
The National Quality Measures for Breast
Centers were developed by referencing
the Health Care Advisory Board’s Clinical
Quality Dash Board for breast centers,
published in the fall of 2004. The National
Quality Measures for Breast Centers reflect
more than five years of work which has
culminated in the adoption of more than
33 National Quality Indicators.

March 15, 2012 will forever be a memorable day for me and a highlight
in the history of the Memorial Health Care System Foundation. On that
day we announced the Inspired Heroes Campaign for Memorial with a
$15 million goal! Far and away, it is the largest fundraising effort our
organization has ever undertaken.
The response from the community has been overwhelming! Supporters
have stepped forward with contributions ranging from one dollar to
millions of dollars but all with the common goal of improving health
care for everyone in the community. Every gift – large or small - is
meaningful, and we can do amazing things when we all come together.
I had the privilege of working on the formation of the Foundation in
2001. Over the past 11 years, support from this community has grown
at an unbelievable rate. Memorial is a special place, and I am honored
to work for an organization that takes its mission of serving the health of
this community to heart in everything we do.
Thank you for the role you play at Memorial, and please let me know if
I can answer questions, assist you in any way, or show you first-hand
your contributions at work.
Best wishes,
Jennifer Nicely

Doctors’ Day and
Caring Spirit Campaigns
“My husband was so sick, but his nurse could always make him smile.
My husband passed away at Memorial in March, and this gift is made
with grateful thanks to that nurse; she was so special to us.”
–CARING SPIRIT DONOR
Offering a hand to hold…giving a reassuring smile…going an extra step…
sharing an encouraging word. Simple gestures of kindness often mean
the most to us. Doctor’s Day and Caring Spirit are designed to honor a
Memorial Health Care System physician, nurse, volunteer or staff
member who has made a difference in the life of a patient by going
above and beyond what is expected of him or her.
Caring Spirit and Doctors’ Day are part of the Foundation’s Annual Giving
program. The importance of annual giving is ever increasing as Memorial
Health Care System expands markets and services. There are many
opportunities available for those wishing to make a thoughtful annual
gift, including joining the Friends of Memorial with a gift of $100 or more,
tribute and memorial giving, or employee giving through MAGIC. These
gifts enable Memorial to provide care for the underserved, seek innovative
solutions to complex health problems and make state-of-the-art technology available to all patients.
“I received the best care possible after my surgery. The three young ladies I have named
were my nurses at different times during my recovery. At times they had to work extra hard
to make me comfortable. If there are angels on earth, I think I found them at Memorial.”

Each Fall, the Friends of Memorial gather for an annual reception in
their honor. On Thursday, November 3, 2011 Friends of Memorial
came together to win big at Casino Night at Warehouse Row. Players
took their turn at Black Jack, Craps, Roulette, and Texas Hold ‘Em for
their chance to win fun gifts. In the end, everyone is a winner, thanks
to the advances in patient care that Friends of Memorial helps us to
fund with their gifts.

Through my years at Memorial, I have been blessed to
work in a faith-based organization focused on bringing world class healthcare to our region. I have seen
tremendous growth in our facilities and services and have
had the opportunity to work side by side with some of the
finest healthcare professionals in the nation. I am proud
to be a part of this organization and, by giving through
the Magic campaign, I can do my small part in supporting
and continuing our Mission to the community.

In July 2011, Memorial Associates who contribute to MAGIC brought
their families to the Creative Discovery Museum for an afternoon of
relaxation, play, and learning. Sodexo catering cooked up a storm of
pizza pies for the 200 guests as they took breaks from exploring the
museum’s exhibits. The Foundation is grateful to the generosity of an
anonymous donor for providing the space for this event at no cost to
the Foundation or to Memorial Associates.

Arts for Health Lecture Series
Memorial Foundation and the Hunter Museum of
American Art hosted the 12th Annual Cam Busch
Endowed Arts for Health Lecture Series Thursday,
March 29, 2012 at the Hunter Museum.
This year’s speaker, Megan Cole, is an award-winning
actor of stage and screen. She is known for her
portrayal of Dr. Vivian Bearing in the ground-breaking
production of “Wit” - a one-woman show about a
breast cancer patient’s journey through diagnosis,
treatment and recovery. While she continues her stage
and screen work, Megan continues also to explore the
ways in which patient care and end-of-life care can
benefit from a deepened sense of skilled compassion,
leading to the development of her dramatized lecture
version of the play Wit – entitled The Wisdom of “Wit”.
The purpose of the lecture series is to acquaint the
community with the importance of art in the healing
process. Over the past 10 years, this series has had
the privilege of hosting well-known artists, musicians,
poets, performing artists and academics from around
the country.
To learn more about Memorial’s Arts Medicine
program, upcoming events or how you can get
involved please call (423) 495-4141.

Memorial Auxiliary
and Volunteer Services
The Memorial Health Care System Auxiliary is part of a team of 550 active volunteers supporting the
Foundation’s mission and ministry in every way. Since 1953, the Auxiliary has continued to enhance
patient services through their volunteer services and fundraising efforts. Last year, volunteers contributed
more than 82,000 hours of service throughout the system.
Memorial volunteers have a presence on all Memorial campuses, and this year five new volunteer service
areas were created to better support staff and patients. These new services were added at the Women’s
Center Memorial Ooltewah in physical therapy, Memorial Hixson emergency department and Memorial
Glenwood with service excellence rounding in nursing units and in radiology with transport.
In addition to giving of their time, the Memorial Auxiliary raises funds to enhance patient care, and
continues to support their $104,371 pledge made to Memorial’s Magnet Program funding the Simulation
Learning Center lab and computer-controlled simulation technology used to enhance learning and fine
tune skills for nursing staff and students. Other contributions made include a $15,000 pledge for the
We Care Weekend retreat for cancer patients and family members, and a $20,000 scholarship program
for students preparing for health careers. This past year, funds were also provided for tornado victims in
our area, and tribute gifts were given in recognition of volunteers.

INSPIRED
HEROES
THE CAMPAIG N FOR MEMORIAL
Memorial Health Care System has a dream of creating a world-class hospital
that revolutionizes care for our region. To achieve this dream, Memorial is
beginning its most expansive construction and renovation project since the
hospital was built 60 years ago. The Memorial Foundation’s Inspired Heroes
Campaign will fund aspects of the campus expansion which would not be
possible without community involvement.
Memorial Health Care System is the only
faith-based hospital in the area, fulfilling a
need and desire of so many to be cared for
in an environment which incorporates the
principles of Catholic social teaching with
healthcare provided at world-class levels of
quality. The Spiritual Care Program, under
the direction of Sister Eileen Wrobleski, is
incorporated into the daily care of patients,
families and staff. Memorial associates,
volunteers, physicians and leaders live
our mission daily, making faith key to the
culture throughout the health care system.
Memorial has committed more than
$300 million to renovate and expand
its campuses, and while a version of
the expansion will take place without
community support, many of the programs
and benefits will not be feasible without
support from private donors.
H eart C e n ter
Memorial Health Care System has a
dream of creating a world-class Heart
Center that revolutionizes cardiac care
for our region through the use of stateof-the-art technology, education and
prevention services, and a superior patient
experience. The Heart Center at Memorial
will be recognized as the ultimate regional
epicenter for heart health, providing the
best care available.
The new eight-story Heart Center will
include the latest in available technology
with the construction of seven new cardiac
catheterization procedure rooms. To
support the large number of patients seen
for procedures at the Heart Center, a new
Cardiac Short Stay unit will be included
where patients who have undergone a
minimally invasive cardiac procedure
remain for observation. The upper floors of
the new Heart Center will house 96 private
patient rooms which will replace outdated
hospital rooms built 60 years ago. All
aspects of the procedure rooms and other
patient rooms will include the latest in
available technology. Technology such as
dedicated Cardio MRI and PET scanners
will ultimately be placed in the new Heart
Center’s Imaging Center, allowing patients
more timely, convenient and high-tech care.
Caring for patients once a cardiac event
occurs will continue to be critical to
the work of the new Heart Center, and
educating our patients and the community
at large, while promoting preventive care,
will be a vital component to patient care
and outreach programs. Through the new
Heart Center’s Wellness and Prevention
Pavilion, available screenings and
education will be made possible through a
multitude of partnerships and community
outreach opportunities. The Wellness and
In August 2011, the leadership team for Memorial’s Inspired Heroes: Campaign for Memorial
gathered at the home of Zan and Julie Guerry to celebrate the formation of what has since been
dubbed the “dream team” of fundraisers: (back row, left to right) Dr. Charles A. Portera, Sr.,
Hilda Murray, Dr. Bill Stacy, Dr. Carlos Baleeiro, Dr. Davey Daniel, Zan Guerry, Ryan Crimmins,
Dr. Eric Conn (seated, left to right) Joan Frierson, Scotty Probasco and Deborah Everhart.
Not pictured are: Dr. John Boxell, Leo Brown, Joe Decosimo and Dr. Peter Hunt.
The 30,000 square foot Heart Center will feature seven
new cath labs, a cardiac short-stay unit, 96 private
rooms and a dedicated imaging center with MRI and PET
scanners. It will also include a Wellness and Prevention
Pavilion, which will offer community education and house
a state-of-the-art cardiac rehabilitation facility.
Prevention Pavilion will provide education
for patients and families with resources
such as ready access to materials, videos,
support groups, and staff members trained
specifically on heart disease, all of which
are available in a new Education Center.
Cardiac Rehabilitation is also critical in
the healing process. The new Pavilion will
house a newly refurbished, state-of-the-
art Cardiac Rehabilitation facility as well
as a facility to conduct research to ensure
patients will have the advantage of the
latest in breakthroughs for cardiac health
in the future.
Just as the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center
has received national acclaim for its care
of women, we anticipate that the new Heart
Center will have the same impact on the
care of cardiac patients. The Center will
offer a world-class appearance, with a
beautiful and soothing atmosphere from
the moment a patient enters the building
through a front entrance dedicated to heart
patients. It will merge with the existing
Heart Institute building to create a single,
seamless facility, featuring thoughtfully
situated areas of service so the patient
and family can easily navigate the Center.
From the time the patient registers, to
waiting areas, to procedure rooms - all
service areas will flow to ensure the patient
and family can easily navigate the space
without the chaos involved in moving a
lengthy distance or negotiating difficult
directions.

Memorial Health Care System is the
hospital of choice in our region for patients
needing surgery. This year, more than
17,000 patients will choose Memorial’s
Glenwood campus for a surgical procedure.
Memorial’s current facilities cannot
continue to meet this growing demand, and
construction for a significant expansion and
renovation are underway to offer the most
advanced surgery facilities in our region.
The new surgery facilities will include
100,000 square feet of new construction
plus extensive renovation of current space,
some of which is more than half a century
old. When complete, Memorial’s main
campus will feature 27 operating rooms,
including a new hybrid room specifically
for high risk cardiovascular surgeries. A
new 20-bed Cardiovascular Intensive Care
Unit will be constructed to care for patients
recovering from major heart procedures.
All pre- and post- operation areas will be
renovated as well as the post-anesthesia
care unit and sterile processing, where all
surgical tools and equipment are prepared
for each surgery case. All aspects of the
new construction and renovated spaces will
include the latest in available technology.
The newly expanded facility will offer an
entrance dedicated to surgery patients.
The space will be thoughtfully planned and
designed to immediately put the patient
and family at ease in an environment
focused on healing, with color schemes and
artwork which promote a soothing and calm
atmosphere. The Family Waiting area will be

far larger, offering numerous spaces where
families can gather allowing for privacy and
comfort. Tied in to the surgery expansion
will be a newly renovated visitor lobby which
will offer easy access to the cafeteria and
access to patient rooms.

Infusion treatment is the delivery of
medication into the bloodstream by
intravenous means. Many types of therapy
drugs, including chemotherapy, are given
by infusion. Until recently, treatments were
given in a location that was inconvenient
and didn’t afford much privacy.
With the Infusion Center, we can now
provide our patients with a space
specifically designed for infusion therapy.
The expansion allows patients to receive
outpatient care when it’s convenient to their
schedules and offers more private spaces
that make room for the patient’s loved
ones. In addition we can treat even more
people in a comforting environment that
strives to make the process as easy
as possible.
With continued support from the
community, we can ensure that these
patients will always receive their muchneeded treatments in a place that’s
completely dedicated to their treatment.
L u n g C e n ter
Lung diseases, including lung cancer,
are some of the most debilitating and
frightening of all medical issues. Chronic
lower respiratory diseases, which include
emphysema and asthma, are the fifth
leading cause of death in Tennessee.
Moreover, all counties in our region
currently exceed national rates for mortality
caused by these diseases.
Through the creation of the new Lung
Center, Memorial is determined to improve
the current statistics. The Lung Center at
Memorial will not only treat those who have
current health issues related to lung disease
but will also proactively educate and screen
the community, with the overall goal of
dramatically changing these numbers.
The new center will also house a facility
to conduct research to ensure patients
will have the advantage of the latest in
breakthroughs for lung health, now and
in the future.
The new Lung Center will house all of the
technology and equipment to screen
and diagnose lung disease. Within the
center there will be a digital chest x-ray, a
Pulmonary Function Testing lab, a walkway
for the 6-minute walking test necessary to
determine if a patient needs oxygen, and
space for six pulmonologists to see patients.
Regular clinic days will be held to specialize
care, such as a weekly nodule clinic.
Memorial currently offers a unique
screening program to identify lung cancer
at its earliest stages. Through the new
Lung Center, we will be able to reach
a far greater number of individuals,
allowing lung cancers to be identified at
earlier stages where there is a greater
chance for successful treatment. This
can be accomplished by coordinating
CT and PET screenings, interventional
radiology, pulmonary rehabilitation, and
a Bronchoscopy Suite, featuring the latest
in equipment such as EndoBronchial
Ultrasound. Available screenings and
education will be made possible through a
multitude of partnerships and community
outreach opportunities. The center will
provide education for patients and families
coming through for services, with resources
such as ready access to materials, videos,
support groups, and staff members trained
One of the most innovative features in the
program involves the construction of the new
hybrid operating suite. Equipped with the latest
technology, this space can quickly transform to
accommodate nearly any situation that might
arise during a surgical procedure. Doctors
will always have the tools they need on-hand
to treat whatever may arise, no matter how
unexpected.

center’s success will be overcoming the
fear and stigma often associated with
lung disease.
Memorial currently has a well-established
Thoracic Surgery program benchmarked in
having quality ratings far above the national
average, and we currently enjoy the
reputation of being the best in our area for
lung care. An all-inclusive Lung Center will
bring more coordinated care and the latest

and coordinated program to better serve
the patient. We envision that the Lung
Center will also serve as a clearinghouse
for lung healthy initiatives taking place
throughout the region. By offering the
latest in available technology and best
facilities, we will be also be able to continue
attracting the most outstanding physicians
to serve our community.
We want the new Lung Center to make us
the regional epicenter for care, a place to
which patients travel from great distances
to experience exceptional care for lung
disease. No other medical facility in the
Southeast has a program that will rival the
care and coordination provided by the Lung
Center at Memorial. This project will be
funded 100% by community support.

As the Glenwood campus undergoes this
significant construction, orientation of
the campus will shift dramatically. The
current Chapel will no longer be easily
accessible for visitors and patients most
in need of a place to pray and reflect
at very difficult and stressful times. The
location of the new Chapel will place it at
the heart of the campus, easily accessed
but also a representation of the role faith
plays in the care given at Memorial. It
will be a soothing and deeply spiritual
place of respite, welcoming to all faiths,
incorporating four large stained glass
windows that were originally located
in the Chapel at the Sister of Charity of
Nazareth Motherhouse in Kentucky. The
new Chapel will be funded 100% by
community support.
In order to emphasize the role faith plays every
day at Memorial, the new Chapel will incorporate
four large stained glass windows from the Sisters
of Charity of Nazareth Motherhouse in Kentucky.

Letter
from M emorial P reside n t
a n d C E O , J ames M . H obso n
Dear Friends,
This has been an exciting year of growth and challenges for the Memorial Health Care
System Foundation. As we look around our campus, we see daily reminders of the
progress made while also realizing there is much work left to do.
This spring, the Foundation undertook a monumental task – to raise $15 million
dollars to fund special projects associated with Memorial Health Care System’s $318
million dollar expansion. Aptly named the Inspired Heroes campaign, the outreach
effort has done just that – encourage and inspire us all to give to a cause that’s bigger
than ourselves and to something that has larger implications in our community.
We are thrilled to report that almost $10 million of the $15 million goal has already
been secured. This is truly a community project, and it would not be possible without the
generous support of our physicians, community leaders, employees, event sponsors
and volunteers. Because of those who have taken up our cause, this ambitious
fundraising target is within our sights. I can’t wait to see what this next year will bring!
In addition to the success of Inspired Heroes, the Foundation has also experienced
these successes:
Most funds raised in the Foundation’s 11-year history
Highest net dollars raised from Pink! 2012
• Golf tournament completed a $1 million addition to the Foundation’s endowment
• More than $2 million given back to the hospital for patient care
•
•
In closing, I want to extend a personal word of appreciation and thanks for all you do
to support Memorial and the furthering of our mission to serve patients in need. It is
a mission we take seriously, and we are blessed and honored that you are willing to
participate in this mission with us.
Sincerely,
Jim Hobson
