For over sixty years, Tri-State
Memorial Hospital has been dedicated
to providing quality health services to
the LC Valley and surrounding areas.
Our partners in caring – our physicians,
our nurses and staff, and our volunteers
– practice a philosophy that inspires
an environment of teamwork, respect,
encouragement, opportunity, and
trust. Our efforts continue each day
as we strive to offer newer and better
programs, services, and technologies
for your family, friends, and neighbors.
Tri-State’s
award-winning
care
has recently been complemented by
receiving the ACR Breast Imaging
Center of Excellence by achieving
accreditation in all breast imaging
modalities.
We have also been
recognized by iVantage Health
Analytics and the National Organization
of State Office of Rural Health for overall
excellence in Patient Perspectives and
Financial Strength among all acute
care hospitals in
the nation. And, in
our dedication to
continuing to bring
the best in healthcare
technology to our
community, we were
honored once again
with HealthCare’s Most Wired award.
These are just a few of numerous
awards and distinctions that continue
to validate the hard work our staff
delivers daily to serve our community’s
needs.
Tri-State Memorial
Hospital has grown
and evolved to meet
the changing needs
of the community
and the changing

patients regardless of their ability to

• The Hospital provides funds to
support a variety of community
organizations and activities.
• The Hospital operates the school
nurse programs in elementary, junior
high, and high school in Asotin.
• Our Charity Care Program provides
financial assistance to qualified
patients to help with hospital
expenses.

more about what makes Tri-State
unique and special, as well as learn
more about who we are. You may not
know that we are a designated Critical
Access Hospital.

hospitals are fairly unique as acute
care hospitals go. They must have no
more than 25 inpatient beds, have an

more than 96 hours for acute care, offer
Despite the challenges of change,
on-going
concerns
related

focused on the delivery of quality care
and exceptional customer service. TriState Memorial Hospital is growing,
expanding, and changing in many ways
– all of them good and each designed to
provide better care for the community.
I welcome any suggestions you may

6 Tips for
Eating Right
in 2016
SAVOR THE FLAVOR
OF EATING RIGHT
In honor of National Nutrition Month which is in
March every year, here are six easy tips to get you
on the path to a healthier lifestyle!
Eat Breakfast
Start your morning with a healthy breakfast every day by
including lean protein, whole grains, fruit, and vegetables.
Sound like a lot? Try making a breakfast burrito with
scrambled eggs, low-fat cheese, and salsa on a whole
wheat tortilla. Or, mix up a parfait with low-fat plain yogurt,
fruit, and whole grain cereal.
Watch Portion Sizes
Recommended serving sizes are often times smaller
than our “best guess.” Break out the measuring cups to
make sure you can see what one serving of whole grain
cereal (1 cup) looks like in your dishes at home. Want to
trick your brain into thinking a single portion is more? Use
a smaller dish!
Fix Healthy Snacks
It is easy to sabotage your healthy lifestyle by quickly
getting something from the vending machines at school or
work. Do yourself, and your waistline, a favor by packing
healthy snacks to keep on hand to help sustain energy
levels between meals. Try raw veggies with low-fat cottage
cheese, or a tablespoon of peanut butter with apple slices.
Get Cooking
When you have control over the cooking process, you
can make sure you are adding only the best ingredients
and cooking in the healthiest way. Don’t know how to
cook? Start with some basics and add to your knowledge
over time and you will be on your way to being a home chef
in no time. For a collection of “How Do I….” videos, go
to www.EatRight.org/howdoi - Your body and your family’s
bodies will thank you for the home-cooked goodness!
Drink More Water
Your body is comprised of approximately 60 percent
water and you need to replace what is used and eliminated
every day! Drink even more water when you are active, live
or work in hot conditions, or are an older adult. Drinking
water also helps you to feel full and can help control
cravings when you are trying to make better choices in
nutrition.
Cut Back on Added Sugars
When considering your food and drinks, make sure you
are aware of added sugars which contribute empty calories
and little or no nutrition. Become a reader of food labels
to catch those sneaky added sugars that can wreak havoc
on your health.
Visit www.ChooseMyPlate.gov
for more information!
Healthy Snacks + Fun Activities = Happy, Healthy Kids!
Tri-State Hospital Registered Dietician Nutritionists Jennifer Raykovich
and Chelsey Woods were on hand October 15, 2015 to show 4th, 5th,
and 6th graders at Holy Family School in Clarkston, Washington good
nutrition education, how to make their own healthy snacks, and fun
activities to get their bodies moving. This fun, energy-filled event was
well received by the kids who left that day with their own kid’s cookbooks,
kid-sized aprons, measuring cups and spoons, and many tips on making
better nutrition choices. This event was sponsored through Tri-State
Hospital Foundation by a grant from Clearwater Paper Corporation.

TRI-STATE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SPRING 2016
What is a
Critical Access Hospital?
You may have heard some hospitals called Critical Access
Hospitals or CAH’s. But, what exactly is a Critical Access
Hospital? This designation is given to certain rural hospitals
by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It was
created by Congress in 1997 in response to a string of hospital
closures in the 1980s and 1990s. Rural hospitals typically have
a very high percentage of Medicare patients (referred to as
“payer mix”). Prior to the CAH program, rural hospitals were
under the Prospective Payment System (PPS) and were only
reimbursed 40 to 60 cents for one dollar of cost – not what was
billed, but actual cost. Hence, rural hospitals could not sustain
services in their communities under the Prospective Payment
System, which resulted in many closing during that time and
leading to the passage of the CAH program.
The CAH designation was designed to reduce the financial
vulnerability of rural hospitals and improve access to
healthcare by keeping essential services in rural communities,
accomplished through cost-based Medicare reimbursements.
Specific requirements must be met to qualify for the CAH
designation, such as have 25 or fewer acute care inpatient
beds, providing 24/7 emergency care service, having an
annual average length of stay of no more than 96 hours
for acute care, and located in a rural community. Tri-State
applied for and became a Critical Access Hospital in 2004. As
of January, 2016, there were 1,332 Critical Access Hospitals
located in the US; 39 of them located in Washington State.
Critical Access Hospitals provide essential health care
services to nearly 51 million people. Because of their
size, modest assets and financial reserves, and higher
percentages of Medicare patients, small and rural hospitals
disproportionately rely on government payments. The CAH
program has been a life-line for many hospitals across the
country and has allowed them to survive and continue their
health care missions to the communities they serve. Over the
last few years, the CAH program has come under scrutiny
from the President’s budget to CMS (Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services) for a variety of reasons. The CAH program
has changed and reimbursements have been reduced through
this program; but, overall, it remains intact due to continued
work to educate congress on the need and value that rural
hospitals bring to their communities.
Did you know?
One thing that makes Tri-State Memorial Hospital
different from other community-owned hospitals (as
well as most CAHs) in Washington State is that we do
not have any property taxes funding our services at
Tri-State. That is to say, we are not a Public Hospital
District that receives revenue from taxes in our
community. Because of the financial support offered
by our generous community to the Foundation and
the leadership and forward-thinking planning of
our volunteer Hospital Board of Directors, Tri-State
continues to prosper without having to access
property taxes in our community.

In honor and memory of
Dr. Richard J. Weiland, Jr.
May 6, 1947 - February 20, 2015
Tri-State Memorial Hospital lost a treasured provider in 2015
with the passing of Dr. Weiland in February.
Dr. Weiland was raised in Pomeroy, Washington and graduated
from Gonzaga University and then University of Washington,
where he received his medical degree in 1973. On September
11, 1971 he married Jenny and they had their daughter Angie in
1975.
Dr. Weiland went on to do his residency and worked in
emergency medicine for a time. In December 1984, the family
moved to Clarkston where Dr. Weiland opened his private practice
in 1985. In March 2011, Dr. Weiland became an employee of TriState Memorial Hospital as a primary care provider, where he
worked full-time until his hospitalization in November, 2014.
Besides being adored by his patients at Tri-State, Dr. Weiland
also was the medical director of Home Health and Hospice (now
Elite Home Health and Hospice) for 28 years, and the medical
director of Prestige Care Center in Clarkston. He also served
nine years on the Tri-State Hospital Board of Directors. He is
truly missed by his patients, his colleagues, and this community.

Hospital and how to financially
support the hospital through
our Foundation.
Someone
recently asked me what
makes Tri-State different.
Sure, there are a lot of things
that make us different: we are
owned and operated by this
community, we serve a rural
population, we offer specialty
care and resources that other

don’t. You can read about
Vice President of Foundation
other things that make us
and Community Relations
unique throughout the pages
of this HealthBeat. But I think
the real difference is found in the heart of our facility – our staff,
volunteers, and providers – and in the way we love, respect,
and care about our community and each other. We treat our
hospital like our home, treat each other like family, and treat
our patients like neighbors. It’s who we are and I am proud to
be a part of this community legacy.
Over 60 years ago, the community rallied to raise the
funds needed to build a hospital for this valley. Many of
you and your family members, along with a number of local
businesses, were among those who helped to make Tri-State
Memorial Hospital a reality. Today, the strength of our Hospital
is still found through the dedication and commitment of this
community. Through the generous gifts from 968 donors, the
Foundation raised over $485,000 in 2015. Listed in the following
pages are the individuals and businesses that chose to make
Tri-State a philanthropic priority in 2015. Please read these
names. You can also see the list of hospital needs met through
our fundraising endeavors on this page.
Tri-State Hospital Foundation is proud of our
accomplishments and grateful to our loyal donor family. Your
support enables us to continue our mission of providing TriState Memorial Hospital with the resources to offer the highest
quality patient care to our community. And, there are even
greater financial needs for this year. If your name is not listed
in the following pages, would you consider making a financial
gift this year and partnering with us to ensure a strong future in
healthcare at Tri-State?
TRI-STATE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SPRING 2016
As we look to the future, I am confident in Tri-State’s ability
to anticipate and meet the healthcare needs of our community.
Thank you again for your ongoing dedication to Tri-State
Hospital Foundation and our community-owned hospital. It
is an honor and privilege to work with each of you and be
assured that Tri-State Hospital Foundation will continue to be
a partner in your health for years to come.
With a grateful heart,

Tri-State Hospital Foundation
from the Board President
I am honored to have been chosen to lead such a talented and hard working group
of Trustees. Over the years, a combination of hard work and the great generosity of our
community has enabled us to grow and support Tri State Memorial Hospital in an immense
way. I am confident that our best is yet to come.
Corey Flerchinger, 2016 Tri-State
Hospital Foundation President,
Board Trustee since 2010
To achieve our best, we as Trustees will push each other out of our comfort zones,
challenge the status quo and ask some tough questions. I believe this is not only essential,
but our duty as Trustees, to properly steward and grow the Foundation efficiently and
effectively. I am looking forward to engaging with the group to align what drives us all to
better the Foundation. This is the heart of what I believe will allow us to reach the next level.
With the constant state of change the healthcare industry finds itself in, we are going to be
called upon to support our community hospital in a greater capacity than in years past. We
need to be there to answer that call.
We are most grateful for the trust and support you, the community, have given us over the years and eagerly look forward
to continue building on the legacy of the Foundation. You allow us to find new ways to do our part and constantly effect our
mission. As we move into this year, we will continue to work tirelessly to support local health care needs and we are excited to
have you join with us in this endeavor.

Making a Difference
Don and Joanne Poe
Don and Joanne Poe have been longtime supporters of Tri-State Hospital
Foundation, turning to the hospital and our
physicians for everything from the delivery
of their children to emergency room visits.
To ensure that the hospital is able to
continue providing outstanding services
for years to come, the Poes created a
two-life charitable gift annuity for Tri-State
Hospital Foundation.
“I served on the board of Tri-State
Memorial Hospital, Joanne worked
closely with the Foundation on Festival
of Trees, and we both participated in the
Commitment for Tomorrow for a number of
years, so we understand how the hospital
relies on donors in order to succeed,”
Don says. “When we learned about the
charitable gift annuity program, we felt like
it was a good match for us.”
The charitable gift annuity – which is
an arrangement between the foundation
and the donor – allows donors such as
the Poes to transfer cash or assets to the
hospital now, in exchange for a guaranteed
income from the Foundation for the rest of
their lives. The income is based on a rate
of return established in advance by the
Foundation.
MAKING DONATIONS
In addition to charitable gift annuities,
there are numerous ways to donate to the
Tri-State Hospital Foundation and reap tax
benefits, including:
• Appreciated stock
• Bonds and mutual funds
• Certificates of deposit, savings,
accounts, brokerage accounts, and
checking accounts with “payable on
death” provisions
• Charitable gift annuities
• Multiple-year cash pledge
“It’s important for our valley that our
hospital continues to grow, because we
need to ensure that future generations
get the kind of care that only a community
hospital can provide,” Don says. “By
making this gift to the Foundation, we
were able to do our part now to contribute
to the healthcare of the future.”
To make a tax-deductible donation to
Tri-State Hospital Foundation, call Polly
Knelsen at 509.751.0222, or make an

What is Tru-D
SmartUVC?
We like to call it the Superbug Slayer! The Tru-D
SmartUVC works by destroying germs and bacteria with
safe, effective UV light, enhancing disinfection in a hospital
environment and giving patients and staff peace of mind.
By using the unit in a room vacated by a patient or in
preparing a surgical suite, we can
ensure the room is cleaner
than would be humanly
possible, while supplying
valuable data used to
create more effective and
efficient cleaning. TruD’s
SmartUVC
“brain” measures
the correct dose of
UV light to destroy
harmful germs like
MRSA and C.diff
in just one cycle.
Coming soon to
our hospital, this
is just another
way
Tri-State
is committed
to making your
health our first
priority.

Record Numbers at…
The 31st annual Festival of Trees was a huge success! Our
dedicated group of volunteers and community members
helped turn the Nez Perce County Fair Pavilion into a holiday
wonderland the week of Thanksgiving. Over 4,000 people made
their way through the festivities! Our Vintage Style Show & Tea
was SOLD OUT with over 560 people in attendance. Gala night
was a magical evening as well; from the amazing décor and fun
band to the fabulous trees and generous auction support, we
raised $25,800 for the new Tru-D SmartUVC Disinfectant Robot
through our "Raise the Paddle” portion of the evening (see page
18 for more information). With four, fabulous events, we netted
over $108,000 to support the programs and special needs of
Tri-State Memorial Hospital – the most we have ever raised in
31 years!
It takes a village of behind the scenes individuals and
businesses to make this grand event a success. Seven days,
trees galore, set-ups, take-downs, yards and yards of fabric,
hundreds of feet of carpet, a sea of tables and chairs, coat
check, Gift Shop and more, and then, storing it all away for the
next Festival!
It is with sincere gratitude that we thank you all for the above
and beyond work and hours you devote to make this event
TRI-STATE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SPRING 2016
such a success. An event of this magnitude would not be
possible without the support of the hundreds of volunteers who
come together each year and the many local businesses and
individuals who are so willing to support community health care.

Did you know there are creative ways to
support Tri-State Hospital Foundation?
Mr. and Mrs. Scott Williams
Ways in which Tri-State, you, and your
loved ones all benefit at the same time?
Such giving techniques are called
“planned gifts,” because with
thoughtful planning, you create
win-win solutions for you and
the only community-owned
hospital in the valley.

There are times in life when a card or
flowers simply aren’t enough. That’s when a
tribute or memorial gift to Tri-State Hospital
Foundation may better express your
emotion.
A tribute gift is a wonderful way to
celebrate a birth, anniversary, or other
special occasion, or to let someone dear
know she or he is in your thoughts. A
Grateful Patient tribute gift is appropriate
when you want to thank a doctor, nurse,
or other health professional for exceptional
care.
Consider a memorial gift when you want
to honor the life of someone special who
has passed on. Many families, for instance,
establish a memorial in honor of a loved one,
and ask friends and relatives to make gifts
to the memorial instead of sending flowers.
Not only will your gift give joy and comfort
to its recipient, it will also help Tri-State
Memorial Hospital continue to provide
excellent and compassionate care. Tribute,
Memorial, and Grateful Patient gifts are tax
deductible as provided by law.

Annual Foundation Awards
SPIRIT AWARD
Stonebraker McQuary
Insurance
This year’s Spirit Award winner has
been part of the legacy of giving to TriState Hospital Foundation longer than
our records show. This community
owned
and
operated
business
understands and believes in the value
of our community owned and operated
hospital and has been overwhelmingly
generous to show support throughout
the years. Financially, this business
has supported the Foundation through
all of the special events as a sponsor,
including Summerfest from years past.
Additionally, they are a Healthy Business
Partner, and have offered committee
members to numerous Development
Council Committees. The leadership also
gives as an Eagle Society member and
has had family who were instrumental in
opening the hospital now 61 years ago.
Because of some room scheduling issues
at the hospital, this business opened their
doors to our Board for meetings for over
half the year. We would like to honor
Stonebraker McQuary Insurance as our
Spirit Award Winner and thank them for
always stepping up and being a leader in
giving of their time, talents, and treasures.
LEE MARTIN AWARD
Dan Rudolph
In 1997, the Tri-State Hospital
Foundation began a tradition to
acknowledge the “above and beyond”
support and dedication of one of the
Trustees. The Foundation’s highest honor,
the Lee Martin Award, is named for one of
the founding Trustees. Lee Martin was a
gentleman whose dedication and support
of the Tri-State Hospital Foundation
and Tri-State Memorial Hospital truly
made a difference and helped mold the
Foundation to what it is today. This award
is voted on solely by our board members.
This year’s Lee Martin Award goes to
someone who is known for being not only
enthusiastic but really smart! He has a
passion that helps motivate and inspire
his fellow board members as well as our
staff, and he is excellent at his role as our
Treasurer. He has served on our board
since 2010 and has been active in our
special events, as well as diving in deep
with strategic ideas for the Foundation’s
success. Dan Rudolph is Vice President
of Commercial Relationship Manager of
Washington Trust Bank in Lewiston. We
couldn’t agree more that Dan Rudolph is
deserving of this prestigious award.
TRI-STATE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SPRING 2016
OUTSTANDING
TRUSTEE AWARD
Becca Dugger
Our Outstanding Trustee Award is
decided upon by our staff. This award
goes to someone who has gone the extra
mile throughout the year to make the
Foundation successful, often behind the
scenes. This board member is not only
well-spoken and brilliant, but she also is
willing to do any job we give her. From
helping with Festival of Trees before,
during, and after, to serving on some of
our development council committees,
to being a speaker at events, and even
bringing in new volunteers for all of our
projects, she is an amazing asset to us.
We scored big in 2013 when we added a
board member that instantly became our
“go-to-girl” on all tax and planned giving
questions. She comes to meetings ready
to work and with ideas to share. We also
appreciate that she checks in during
the week with opportunities she has
found to make the Foundation stronger.
The Outstanding Trustee Award goes
to Becca Dugger. Becca Dugger works
at Presnell Gage and has been a board
member since 2013.
