Through the Transforming Care campaign for “The New
Jersey Shore,” we proudly celebrate the opening of the
new Northwest Pavilion. With 108 private rooms, advanced
technology and the largest emergency care center in the
state, this expansion has created the ultimate healing
environment for patients throughout the region.
As so many of us wrestle with the challenges of an uncertain economy, tough choices are
inevitable when it comes to charitable giving. History has shown that in difficult times,
Americans embrace the value of giving in a unique way, thoughtfully supporting organizations
that represent community priorities, while providing the greatest opportunity for their finite
philanthropic dollar to touch the most lives.
Entering the fall, I am pleased to report we are outpacing the past few years in donor
contributions. Through the Transforming Care campaign, more than $18 million has been
raised to change the lives of countless patients and their loved ones for years to come.
The result is a renewed sense of mission, as Jersey Shore University Medical Center and the
great family of caregivers who embody it are being entrusted with your precious investments.
It is an honorable and energizing responsibility.
The beginnings of Jersey Shore University Medical Center are rooted in philanthropy and the
Transforming Care effort has been another shining example of that tradition holding true today.
Despite unstable economic times, our team members, our physicians, neighbors and friends
have played a significant role in this historic effort. I have no doubt that with the continued
trust and support of our community, JSUMC will continue to be recognized among the finest
independent academic medical centers in the state. Thank you.

to his family. When he passed
away suddenly last year at the
age of 56, his wife decided to
honor his memory by creating a named
scholarship. Dr. Christine Hedges,
coordinator of nursing research at the
Ann May Center, established the Frank
Hedges Memorial Scholarship to recognize
the dedication of the nursing staff at
Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
Pam Egnatovich, a 19 year employee
and administrative supervisor for
MICU/CCU, received the first Frank
Hedges Memorial Scholarship this
year designed to assist in furthering the
recipient’s nursing education.
“This award was particularly special to me
because I could see how much it meant
to the Hedges family. Dr. Christine Hedges
said the personal statement I wrote
reminded her of her own family when
she was working toward her Masters and
Doctorate and that made me feel personally
connected to the Hedges family,” Pam
said. She added that the award will help
her pay for books while working towards
her master’s degree.

A Distinguished History of Support
he James F. Ackerman Federation, with
the combined proceeds from Yesterday’s
Best Thrift Shoppe and other fundraisers,

The Federation made a $250,000 gift to benefit to
the Transforming Care capital campaign. “Our gift
acknowledges the generous work of the women
involved with the Federation, our devotion to Jersey
Shore and what it means to each and every one of us,”

The event managed

All funds raised will benefit Meridian’s not-for-profit hospitals
and services, including Jersey Shore University Medical Center
and K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital in Neptune, Ocean
Medical Center in Brick, Riverview Medical Center in Red

Ocean and Monmouth Counties.
Amid a sea of pertinent topics brought about by current economic times, there is one that is nearest and dearest to our
hearts – universal healthcare. Keynote speaker Patricia
Andriolo-Bull, Director of Commonwealth Choice of
Massachusetts, led the discussion at the Ocean Place Resort
and Spa in Long Branch on the model being used in her state
of providing universal healthcare for residents and how it
might be applied in New Jersey.
The Healthcare Perspectives Luncheon, an educational forum,
is held each year in order to enable local business leaders to
learn about health care issues that have an impact on their

team and become familiar with the layout
and design of the new space, according to
Kathryn B. Collins, FACHE, Vice
President for Campus Planning.
“We ordered our dinner from the patient
menu, then split into teams for a scavenger
hunt specifically designed to identify new
equipment and familiarize our team with
the new facility, before turning in for the
night in our assigned patient room,”
Kathryn said. “We really got a feel for the
space from the patient perspective.”
The night was not only a fun learning
experience, but also a charitable one.
Team members devoted a portion of their
12-hour stay to support JSUMC’s ongoing
organ donation awareness campaign,

donors. Our senior staff members are still

As part of the Transforming Care expansion
project, Jersey Shore University Medical Center
has received a federal appropriation from the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
for more than $565,000 thanks to the support of
our federal representatives: Senator Frank
Lautenberg, Senator Robert Menendez and
Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr.
“I am honored to have been able to assist with
funding for a hospital expansion of this magnitude
that will have a direct impact on the health and
well-being of the residents of Ocean and
Monmouth Counties,” said Congressman Pallone.
“The $300 million Transforming Care project at
Jersey Shore University Medical Center is integral
to meeting the health care needs of our neighbors
and loved ones well into the future.”
The funds were used to purchase beds for the new
inpatient pavilion. The pavilion includes three
new nursing units that house 36 private rooms in
12-bed “neighborhoods”. In addition, with the
relocation to the new wing, Jersey Shore’s
Emergency Department is now over an acre in
size. We now have the capability of efficiently
treating over 100,000 patients per year. The
Transforming Care expansion project provides
easier access to the hospital for patients, visitors
and families, physicians, staff and our community.
We thank our federal representatives for their
commitment to advancing the health care of
our region.

Foundation is “Going Green”
Some of the most advanced medical technology in the country is
being housed in the new Northwest Pavilion at Jersey Shore. So, when
it came time to thank the numerous donors that made this project
possible, it only made sense to ride the technology wave into the future.
An interactive donor wall acknowledging every gift made to the

members and friends, will be unveiled in the new addition early next
year. Be sure to check out this interesting and environmentally-friendly

JSUMC Is Where Their Hearts Are
Record Number Participate in 2009 Employee Drive
challenging economy did not stop generous Jersey Shore
University Medical Center team members from giving
back during the 2009 “Count Me In” Team Member
Annual Fund campaign this spring. Nearly 500 team
members gave more than $57,000 to the many departments and programs
within the medical center.
“I think we were successful mainly because so many team members
feel great pride in being associated with JSUMC and want to be a
part of the hospital’s continued success. A dollar or two per pay
period might not impact take home pay too much, but all those
pledges together really add up!” said Team Member Annual Fund
committee co-chair, Grace M. Hickey, Ph.D., manager of clinical
operations for behavioral health services.
Grace added that being able to earmark one’s pledge to a specific
department or program is appreciated by our team members. This
prompted Kelly Layton-Bogdany, RN to come together with other
generous team members in support of their unit. She hopes to be
able to use funds raised during the employee drive to further educate
the community on stroke risk factors and prevention.
“May is Stroke Awareness and Prevention month and we can never
be too prepared with pamphlets and handouts,” Kelly said. “There are
also many times that families, friends, patients and doctors want to give
gifts or money in honor of our team. This fund is a great place to direct
those gifts and inform our donors that they will be put to good use.”

“We are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this system
and hope that grateful patients will take advantage of all that
it has to offer.” said Nancy. “The Foundation is always looking
for new, innovative and environmentally friendly ways to
make giving convenient for our generous donors.”
Infotainment, which is available in the new 108 bed
Northwest Pavilion, puts the Internet, movies, music, video
games and information about prescriptions and medical
procedures at your fingertips during your stay.
The network, which will soon be added to the rest of the

you will undergo during your stay.

Foundation Cuts Check After Apologizing
for Lack of Funds
fter receiving notification explaining
that a grant for our dental clinic could
not be awarded due to the challenging
economic climate, the Jersey Shore
University Medical Center Foundation was quick
to thank this past donor for their consideration and
turn the tables.
“We wrote them a letter thanking them for their
enormous past support of the patients we serve and
let them know that we would gladly assist them
during a difficult time if they needed us,” said
Joanne DiNapoli, director of foundation and
government grants.
The quality care provided by our dental clinic,
along with Joanne’s goodwill got the job done. Just
weeks after receiving Joanne’s letter, The Danellie
Foundation of Marlton, NJ sent a check for purchase
of the supplies needed to support the nearly 5,000
patients that visit our free dental clinic each year.
The clinic was established to provide high quality
dental care to Monmouth and Ocean county
communities regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.
Accredited by the American Dental Association,
the clinic is currently the only charity care dental
provider in the area.

Established by the Jersey Shore University
Medical Center Foundation trustees, the
Heritage Club is comprised of individuals who
have planned for the long-term future of Jersey
Shore by naming the hospital as the beneficiary
of their will, retirement plan or life insurance
policy, or who have set up gifts that provide
income for themselves now, with the principal
benefiting Jersey Shore after they pass on.
If you have included JSUMC as a beneficiary
of your estate, or would like more information
about becoming a Heritage Club member,
please check off the appropriate boxes on
the reply envelope or call Nancy Barone at
(732) 751-5117.

What Will Your Legacy Be?
Long-time supporter Norman Buckman has made an investment
in the future of JSUMC with a planned gift.
he word “legacy” literally means something handed
down from the past. Your legacy will be shaped by the
impact you have had on people, organizations and the
world. You receive Making a Difference because you
have had an impact on Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
Through your donations of time, treasure and talent, you have
helped meet the needs of all who live and work here. For this you
have our heartfelt thanks.
As you consider your long-term
financial and estate plans, we hope
that you will consider adding to your
JSUMC legacy by partnering with us
to secure the hospital’s future while
also meeting your personal planning
objectives.
Your legacy will be
shaped by the impact
you have had on
people, organizations
and the world.
We find that many of our most loyal friends want to financially
help Jersey Shore achieve its mission, but struggle with how to do
so when times are tough. Fortunately, there are many ways you
can make a gift while also taking care of your own needs. For
example, do you need to:
• Increase your income now or for retirement?
• Pay for college for your children or grandchildren?
• Maximize your children’s inheritance?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we can help. To
learn more about how Jersey Shore University Medical Center can
partner with you and your advisors to craft your legacy, check off
the correct boxes on the reply envelope or contact Nancy Barone
at (732) 751-5117.

A longtime employee and generous supporter
of both the Transforming Care capital campaign and the Team Member
Annual Fund, Susan Weiss, will celebrate her 20th year as an RN at Jersey
Shore University Medical Center early next year. Having been a patient as
well as an employee, Susan feels strongly about supporting the future of
Jersey Shore through annual contributions.
“I have bared witness to phenomenal growth and visionary leadership at Jersey
Shore over the years. This inspires a culture of pride for myself and fellow team
members,” she said. “I have also been a patient here, along with all four of my children, my husband and
my father. The care we received was always outstanding, second to none. Giving back is essential to
ensuring that quality health care is available to our entire community. Through my gifts, I am showing
my support for the momentum that is advancing my hospital into the future and has made my career at
Jersey Shore more than just a job.”
