InspirationsAn update from Ashland Community Hospital Foundation

ISSUE 9 • SPRING 2018

FROM PENICILLIN TO SURGICAL robots, from holistic care to telehealth technologies, the evolution of healthcare since Ashland’s community hospital first opened its doors in 1907 has been momentous. Generations of caring, forward-thinking donors have helped Asante Ashland Community Hospital keep pace with the trends and technological changes that arrive more quickly each year.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENTGood to great … to fantastic

SPRINGTIME IS FINALLY HERE —it is the season for celebrating sunnier skies, warmer days and new beginnings! I would like to take a moment to begin another year by celebrating you and all those in the community who sustain our work. Your support is absolutely key to helping Asante Ashland Community Hospital grow and prosper through its commitment to excellence and innovation.

I recently heard our CEO, Sheila Clough, describe how things were going at our hospital in one word—“FANTASTIC!” Later, she explained why she chose that word:

• The hospital recently received a five-star rating for quality, safety and service from the national Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). We are one of only five hospitals in the state to receive this agency’s highest honor.

• Asante Ashland patients also rank our hospital as one of the best in the nation. Most departments have patient experi-ence scores at the ninetieth percentile or above. Patients rate their satisfaction with our inpatient services and our Emergency Department at the ninety-fourth percentile.

• Our hospital is thriving financially, having maintained a positive operating income for the past four fiscal years. Gone are the days when the hospital operated with a deficit.

All this has happened because Sheila and her excellent team of managers, staff and volunteers (including ACHF Board mem-bers) have dedicated themselves to moving Asante Ashland from good to great to fantastic. And Sheila’s team includes all of you—our donors—who provide the inspiration and resources necessary for excellence. You are our partners, our friends and our neighbors, whose generous philanthropy plays a crucial role in the success of our wonderful community hospital.

Thank you for what you do to make Asante Ashland a commu-nity hospital we can all be proud of and a place where we know we will receive expert healthcare and services with kindness and compassion, whenever needed.

Sincerely,

J OY DOBSON WAY, RN (RET.) , MSN

MEET OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERFoundation welcomes Linda Butler

BORN IN LONG BEACH, California, Linda is the youngest of four children and the only girl. She spent her childhood outdoors with her brothers, playing any game that required a ball or took place on the beach. Hers was a close-knit family with the success of each celebrated by all.

Linda attended California State University at Long Beach and gradu-ated with a degree in sociology. She was on the Sailing Team and tutored underprivileged youth through an organization called Project Tutor. Upon gradu-ation, she enrolled in classes at UCLA, where her love of accounting flourished. Linda worked for a CPA firm in Torrance. She met her husband, Chuck, while picking up a friend at the dealership Chuck co-owned. Their first date was a Neil Diamond con-cert at the Greek Theatre. That was a good start, but it took three years and eight proposals before she said yes.

Linda and Chuck love the outdoors and decided to move north to spend more time downhill and cross-country skiing, boating, hiking and backpack-ing. They lived a year in Redding before moving north again to a little town in Oregon. At the time, they had never even been to Oregon, but they took a chance. They have been in Ashland forty-two years now, and two of their children were born here.

On arriving in Ashland, they decided to work together to build something for their future. Having started with Butler Ford, they now own Acura, Kia and Hyundai franchises.

“We took a chance on Ashland and each other, and we could not be happier with our decision,” says Linda.

She has a long history of community service, includ-ing serving on the Ashland Community Hospital Board of Directors from 2004 to 2013 and Ashland Community Hospital Foundation Evans Nursing Scholarship committee from 2007 to 2013. Please join us in welcoming Linda Butler to the Ashland Com-munity Hospital Board Foundation of Directors!

A LEGACY OF GIV INGDistinguished Service Award goes to Barb and Peg Evans

A FAMILY LEGACY OF service and philanthropy earned sisters Barb and Peg Evans the 2017 Distinguished Service Award from Ashland Community Hospital Foundation.

As the daughters of Dr. William and Mrs. Ruth Evans, Barb and Peg Evans have continued to honor their beloved parents and expand their legacy through ongoing support of the Evans Endowed Nursing Scholarship and other Foundation programs. William Evans was a family physician who practiced for fifty years in Pennsylvania before coming to Ashland in 1998. The family funded medical education scholarships and health proj-ects in Pennsylvania. When William died in 2002, Ruth Evans— a nurse during World War II—established an endowed scholar-ship fund for nurses.

Barb and Peg support the scholarship committee and actively participate in the annual awards luncheon, meeting scholarship recipients.

“It’s so emotional to hear their stories and learn about the hard-ships they have overcome,” Barb says of the dedicated nursing students, who plan to work in the Rogue Valley.

Longtime supporters of the annual Patrons Campaign, the Evans sisters also champion the Foundation by attending other campaign kickoffs and celebrations. The family’s connection to the Foundation started soon after Peg moved to Ashland in 1981

to work at Southern Oregon University. Recognizing the value of a community hospital that could conveniently provide basic medical services, she started making annual donations to the ACH Foundation. As family members relocated to Oregon, they joined her in supporting the local hospital, too.

“I feel pretty strongly that we need a hospital in Ashland,” Peg says. “Ashland is richer for having its hospital.”

Peg is professor emerita of music at SOU and the author of a bibliography of choral works and various articles and reviews. She’s spent forty-five years as a church organist and choir director and has given organ recitals and workshops throughout the United States. Peg served for four years as the national vice president of the American Guild of Organists and is currently compiling a database of hymn-based organ works for the Church Music Institute, based in Dallas, Texas. She is a member, teacher and Council member of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Southern Oregon University.

A graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Barb Evans per-formed as a professional clarinetist for fourteen years and sang professionally in Iowa City, Iowa. She also worked as a certified veterinary technician. Barb volunteers weekly at Asante Ashland Community Hospital and particularly enjoys assisting in the ACH Foundation office.

The sisters support philanthropic projects through the South-ern Oregon University Foundation, Pittsburgh Foundation and Oregon Community Foundation. They also volunteer together, delivering meals with Food & Friends. With their commitments and dedication to projects across Ashland, both Barb and Peg appreciate the ACH Foundation for its professional support of a key institution that fosters a healthy community.

The Distinguished Service Award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the Foundation, the hospital and Ashland as a whole. A committee comprising the Foundation’s stewardship committee, hospital leadership and past award recipients selects who will be honored. Please join us in offering congratulations and gratitude to Barb and Peg Evans.

Ashland is richer for having its hospital.

The Evans sisters

HOW YOUR DONATIONS MAKE A DIFFERENCEIN 2017, ASHL AND COMMUNITY Hospital Foundation received over $562,000 in charitable contributions and endowment earnings.

Your donations improve hospital facilities, programs and ser-vices as well as strengthening our existing endowments. We would like to thank all of our generous donors who made these improvements possible. Below are some of the highlights.

I N VEST IN THE FUTUREPatrons Campaign supports Innovation Fund

THIS YEAR’S PATRONS CAMPAIGN asks you to help keep your hometown hospital at the forefront of care with an investment in Ashland Community Hospital Foundation’s newly launched Innovation Fund.

The fund is designed to serve as an overarching home for resources that will help Asante Ashland Community Hospital adopt new technologies and approaches to care when the time is right. As a small community hospital, Asante Ashland has invested strategically and mindfully in new programs and tech-nologies that make a difference in patients’ lives. With your help, the hospital can continue to keep pace in today’s rapidly chang-ing healthcare environment, which requires more resources and a deeper commitment to change than ever before.

Your gift to the Innovation Fund will support three primary approaches: 1) adding advanced technology to benefit patients, 2) adopting new patient-care approaches and 3) forging ground-breaking partnerships in the community.

TECHNOLOGY & EQUIPMENT FOR DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT

Resources from the Innovation Fund will be dedicated to helping the hospital move thoughtfully but quickly to review and pur-chase new equipment to benefit patients. Your gift may support robotics or artificial intelligence software that can guide diag-noses and treatment. It might educate caregivers on using new technology to improve patient comfort and medical outcomes.

NEW MODELS OF CARE

The Innovation Fund will be used to help evaluate and launch pilot programs for new processes that take the hospital even

further in providing quality care and ensuring the best patient outcomes. One possibility includes formulating new medical protocols that identify factors affecting mental health and addic-tion. The fund could pay for projects to redesign our healing environment to accommodate new practices or even reimagine how, when and where care can be delivered in the community.

COMMUNITY COLL A BO RATIO NS

By funding partnerships with other healthcare providers, local businesses, nonprofits, churches and schools, the Innovation Fund will help new ideas gain traction and reach the community to deliver improved health for everyone.

Imagine community well-ness programs and teams of providers working together on health educa-tion and disease preven-tion.

Potential projects are under review while other opportunities have yet to be imagined. Your gift might fund initiatives in the near future or create an endowment to help fund innovation in perpetuity. Join us today and help shape the future of healthcare in your community!

INVEST IN THE FUTURE: Make your tax-deductible contribution to this year’s Patrons Campaign in support of the Innovation Fund by visiting achfoundation.org or calling 541.201.4019.

RE FRESHED!Donor gives Emergency Department a better break room

THE BUSY CARE TEAM in the Asante Ashland Community Hospital Emergency Department has a newly refreshed break room that offers a comfortable space to have lunch, recharge or just enjoy a quiet moment when things get stressful. Ashland Community Hospital Foundation Board of Directors and staff, hospital leaders and the Emergency Department’s staff came together on February 23 to celebrate the completion of a renovation made possible by the generosity of community member Bob Holbrook.

Bob has a soft spot in his heart for the staff at Asante Ash-land. He knows firsthand how hard caregivers work to provide compassionate, professional care to their patients. His positive experiences at the hospital inspired him to make a Circle of

Caring donation and partner with the Foundation on several projects that benefited the community, hospi-tal and staff.

“I will never forget the quality of care that I received during my various contacts with AACH as a patient and especially the feeling of being welcomed by a staff whose primary concern was my health and well-being,” Bob said. “My current support reflects the gratitude I feel for the memory of these past experiences. So, while I am happy to have you thank me, the thanks are really due to those who cared for me when I needed their help.”

CIRCLE OF CARINGCEO honors caregivers who treat every patient like a VIP

WHEN ASANTE ASHL AND COMMUNITY Hospital CEO Sheila Clough was rushed to the Emergency Department in June 2017, she initially was reluctant to get care at the hospital she heads because she did not want to place pressure on the staff.

The registration clerk was kind and friendly and reassured Sheila that everything would remain confidential, just like it does for every patient.

She had an ultrasound procedure, and her caring and knowl-edgeable caregivers worked with her to weigh the pros and cons of having the surgery, helping make her decision to have the immediate procedure.

Prior to her emergency surgery, the anesthesiologist listened to her fears about anesthesia and the complications she had from it in the past. He adjusted his approach, and she described the results as the best recovery from surgery she’s ever had.

She experienced a second round of inpatient care as part of her follow-up to the initial incident and again found kind, com-passionate care at every step. From registration to discharge, everyone was committed to understanding and supporting her as a patient.

The nursing shift handoff gave her comfort and confidence. Great communication reduced her fears. Her physicians were engaged in her care. They respected her choices and kept her husband, Chris, apprised of everything. Her care team worked with Nutritional Services and all staff to provide her with the comfort food she was craving.

After experiencing Asante Ashland’s amazing inpatient care, Sheila says she understands why the hospital’s quality, safety and patient satisfactions scores are so high. And with stringent confidentiality standards protecting her privacy, most of her colleagues never knew she was a patient.

Beyond her position as CEO at Asante Ashland, Sheila takes an active role in the community, serving as a trustee on the South-ern Oregon University Board, member of the Ashland Cham-ber of Commerce Board of Directors and member of the Lithia Springs Rotary Club. Like many people dedicated to making Ashland a great place to live, work and play, she decided to honor and preserve the outstanding care she got at her hometown hospital with a Circle of Caring gift. And you don’t have to be the CEO to be a healthcare leader who encourages excellence every day. Any patient or family member can give a gift of gratitude, harnessing the power of philanthropy the way Sheila did. The Foundation’s Circle of Caring program enables you to say thank-you to a caregiver, team or department with a gift that sup-ports the whole hospital.

A GIFT OF GR ATITUDE: You can recognize a special caregiver with a tax-deductible contribution that will support the hospital’s work. Donate at achfoundation.org or call 541.201.4019.
