Their gifts enable the hospital to bring some 30 to 35 representatives to the National Forum on Quality Improvement in Health Care. The event is the annual conference of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, the nation’s leading organization dedicated to patient safety and quality improvement in healthcare. “Ed is visionary in his understanding of the fundamental requisite of safety and quality to everything we do here,” says John J.

Their own gifts have been augmented by gifts from other family members and from the Asplundh Foundation, for which Ed serves as president. In 2008, the Asplundh Foundation was named Outstanding Foundation of the Year by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Greater Philadelphia Chapter (see Awards and Achievements, page 16). The Asplundh name is justly prominent throughout the hospital – and, indeed, throughout the region. Ed’s father, Carl Asplundh, served as president of Abington Memorial Hospital when it was a volunteer job; and was a board member for many years. In 1928, with two brothers, Carl founded the Asplundh Tree Expert Company. Today, the family tree-trimming business has grown into an international utilities-maintenance corporation. Ed worked with the company for 36 years, including serving as president for 10 years. Today he continues to work as chairman of the Asplundh advisory board, president of the Asplundh Foundation and president of ABG Partners. Robert L.

Toner Robert L. Toner, a cable-television-equipment pioneer, says he’s impressed by Abington Memorial Hospital’s growth over the years, and that he hopes his charitable support will help AMH continue to grow. Bob grew up in Erdenheim and graduated from Springfield High School. He received his electronics education in the Navy at the Naval Electronics School on Treasure Island, California, and at Sabana Seca, Puerto Rico. Bob went to work for the Bell Telephone Company and became a sales engineer. He progressed in sales and marketing management with General Electric, then with Fisher and Porter, where he became a division manager. He joined Jerrold Electronics, a company that was the developer of electronics for the cable television industry, as sales manager. When General Instrument, a large corporation, bought Jerrold, Bob left. He started a modest cable electronics supply company in the basement of his Maple Glen home. Today his company, Toner Cable Equipment, Inc., a family-owned business, sells worldwide, with a major facility in Horsham, another office and warehouse in England plus sales staff in Florida to serve clients throughout South America. Bob is still active in the family business, and after all these years he finds it difficult not to spend time at the office. Bob has served on the boards at Gwynedd Mercy College and the Abington Memorial Hospital Foundation. Bob married Shawn Schiller of Glenolden in 1955. They first had a house in Willow Grove, then they built a home in Maple Glen and lived there until their three children all had grown and left. In 1982 they moved to Whitpain Farm. Over the years Bob and his wife traveled widely, including annual trips to Barbados for the month of February – where they rented the same oceanfront cottage every year for some 25 years – and frequent excursions throughout Europe and Asia. “We loved to travel all around the world,” he recalls, noting an especially memorable trip they took in the 1980s to China, which he coordinated with a customer who “I’m very enthusiastic about this hospital. I’ve watched how it has grown. I’ve admired how it has remained such a personal place. And I’ve been especially impressed with the quality of the care I get from my doctors.” – Robert L. Toner lived there. “This was before China was opened to the world,” says Bob, “and we saw things few Americans had ever seen at the time.” Shawn, his wife of 49 years, passed away in 2004. Today, Bob prefers to stay closer to home – and he likes having his children near at hand as well. “We’re a close family,” he says of his three children, two of whom were born at Abington Memorial Hospital. All three live within 20 minutes of his current residence in Lafayette Hill, and all three, plus a grandchild, Continued on page 3 John J. Kelly, M.D. and Robert L. Toner June 2009 From the President very issue of Profiles of Giving is a special opportunity for me to thank the many friends who make our E important work possible. You are one of those great friends. Healthcare is a fundamental need. A strong community requires a strong hospital, and Abington Memorial Hospital is that hospital for many thousands of people every year. We all know that these are challenging times. But despite the economic challenges, this hospital remains a very healthy institution that is making a significant difference in people’s lives. Abington Memorial Hospital continues to grow and expand as we serve the diverse health needs of our community. In these pages of Profiles you’ll read about some of our exciting new developments. These include welcoming Lansdale Hospital into our Abington Health Network of service providers, opening a major new residential hospice facility on our Warminster Campus and developing plans to improve and expand our important Mary T. Sachs Breast Center. In this issue you will also see profiles of some exceptional friends of the hospital: Edward and Gwen Asplundh and Robert L. Toner. You, too, are an essential friend of the hospital. Your support of our important work is greatly appreciated, and you can be confident that we are ever mindful of our role as careful stewards of the support you entrust in us. Thank you for all that you do to help us help others. Richard L. Jones, Jr. 2 F O U N D A T I O N DONOR PROFILE Continued from front page Edward and Gwen Asplundh VOL. 2 ISSUE EIGHT SUMMER 2009 Profiles of Giving is an Abington Memorial Hospital Foundation publication for our donors and friends. For more information call Across the decades, Ed, his family and the Asplundh Foundation have continued their generous support for Abington Memorial Hospital, and the hospital has recognized their generosity in numerous ways, including establishing an endowed nursing scholarship in their name, and naming the beautiful, soaring lobby of the new medical pavilion the Asplundh Atrium. 215-481-4438. Annual support for patient safety At the same time that the Asplundhs have been making exceptional major gifts to the hospital, they have continued to make steady, significant annual gifts. And year after year, they have focused on one critical area of the hospital’s care: patient safety. “Thanks to Ed’s annual support,” says Dr. Kelly, “each year we’re able to take members of our Board of Trustees, senior management, middle level management and frontline healthcare staff to the National Abington Memorial Hospital’s patients consistently rate their doctors and nurses at the highest levels. The hospital has been awarded one of the nation’s most prestigious prizes for patient safety, quality and service: the American Hospital Association’s Quest for Quality Prize. The hospital is also the recipient of the John M. Eisenberg Patient Safety Award for system innovation from the National Quality Forum and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. “Ed has been able to see the transformational nature of his gifts for the people and the work of this hospital.” – John J. Kelly, M.D. Sponsored in part by Ed Asplundh, left, joins John J. Kelly, M.D., chief of staff, for a January reception at the hospital to highlight poster presentations submitted to the National Forum on Quality Improvement in Health Care. All 18 AMH presentations were accepted for the annual conference of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, more than any other hospital in the country. Forum on Quality Improvement. They not only immerse themselves in safety and quality issues for three days, they bring the principles and skills they learn back to our hospital and apply them here. “Plus, Abington Hospital now makes more presentations on safety and quality than any other hospital in the country. That would not be possible without Ed’s visionary support.” Abington Memorial Hospital works constantly to enhance the care of its patients by reviewing clinical processes with a rigorous eye toward safety, investing in new technologies and building a culture of patient safety throughout the hospital. According to surveys by Press Ganey, a leading firm specializing in patient satisfaction measures, The numerous accolades reflect a top-to-bottom, institution-wide commitment to safety. “When I became chair of the Abington board in 2004,” says Ed, “I felt that patient quality and safety deserved even greater attention at the board level. As just one example, I changed Dr. Kelly’s report to the board from the end of our meeting to the very first presentation on the agenda. Even though I’m no longer chair, that priority continues today.” Adds Dr. Kelly, “Patient safety is even more than a priority at Abington Memorial Hospital. It is our core value here. And that’s the message that Ed brings to us.” F O U N D A T I O N DONOR PROFILE Continued from front page Robert L. Toner work for Toner Cable Equipment. He enjoys spending time with his children and grandchildren at the family’s summer home on Long Beach Island, New Jersey. A gift to support physicians Bob says that working to grow his own company has given him a special appreciation for the hospital’s growth. Serving on the hospital’s Foundation Board also provided him with an insider’s admiration for the hospital’s success. But what he most appreciates about AMH, he says, is that he and his family have received such excellent care over the years. Which is why, he stresses, he wanted his gift to further strengthen the hospital’s ability to hire and retain the best physicians. “I’m very enthusiastic about this hospital,” says Bob. “I’ve watched how it has grown. I’ve admired how it has remained such a personal place. And I’ve been especially impressed with the quality of the care I get from my doctors.” Among them, he notes, are his primary physician, Margot Boigon, M.D., his cardiologist, Asoka Balaratna, M.D., and his dermatologist, William A. Horn, M.D. But Bob reserves special praise for John J. Kelly, M.D., Abington Memorial Hospital’s chief of staff, chief safety officer and specialist in infectious diseases and internal medicine. “I like Dr. Kelly’s commitment to physician excellence,” says Bob, “and I like his efforts to keep attracting great doctors to become part of the hospital.” Dr. Kelly, in turn, expresses appreciation for Bob Toner’s support for physician excellence. His gift, says Dr. Kelly, will support critical recruitment and retention efforts at a time when fewer young physicians are choosing to remain in Pennsylvania after receiving their training here. “Bob Toner’s gift is really remarkable,” stresses Dr. Kelly. “He understands that our physicians are a major driver of our clinical excellence and sustain the hospital over the long term. Bob has shown great generosity in looking to the future and helping to ensure that we’ll have the physicians we need, when we need them.” The reason for that, Bob Toner says, is simple: “Abington will always need more great doctors. Always.” “Bob Toner’s gift is really remarkable. He understands that our physicians are a major driver of our clinical excellence and sustain the hospital over the long term.” – John J. Kelly, M.D. focus 3 on H e a l t h Breast Center services What is the Mary T. Sachs Breast Center, and what services does it provide? The Breast Center, which is accredited by the American College of Radiology, conducts advanced breast-imaging studies with the help of imaging specialists and advanced technologies. These studies are performed by board-certified registered technologists, and are interpreted by board-certified radiologists with special expertise in breast-imaging and breastinterventional procedures. Our services are very important, since early detection of a breast abnormality increases the chance of successful treatment and outcomes. By “breast imaging” do you mean mammograms? Mammograms are the mainstay of breast imaging, as they can often reveal changes in the breast even before a woman or her doctor can detect them. The Center currently has five mammogram units, four of them digital units, and they provide detailed images using low-dose radiation. Our mammography technology is further enhanced by computer-aided detection, or CAD. This is sophisticated, interpretive software that helps identify specific features on medical images and provides a kind of “second pair of eyes” for radiologists and physicians. What other services do you provide? If a mammogram shows an area of suspicion, the Breast Center can provide further tests, such as ultrasound, MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] or biopsy. Many women who need a biopsy are candidates for an outpatient image-guided procedure such as a stereotactic breast biopsy, ultrasound-guided core biopsy or MRI biopsy, all of which we provide at the Mary T. Sachs Breast Center. For patients who require surgical biopsy, Breast Center radiologists perform pre-operative needle localizations for the surgeons. The Center is planning several improvements – what do these include? The Breast Center is an extremely busy place, serving more than 2,500 patients per month. Presently we operate at near capacity levels, and the demand for our services continues to grow. We recently acquired our fifth digital mammography unit, which has the latest advances in technology. Now our pressing need is for dual-coil MRI technology, which can image both breasts at once. We will add 2,000 to 3,000 square feet of much-needed new space by expanding into an adjacent property. We’ll renovate our interior space to improve patient flow, expand our space for waiting rooms and dressing rooms and expand our conference and consultation facilities. We’ll also provide both staff and patients with computer work stations for easy access to digital imaging and library resources. At the same time, we’ll enhance the facility’s exterior – including a new entrance and signage – so that visiting will be a more convenient experience for our patients. For more information about the Mary T. Sachs Breast Center, please contact Pam Leach at 215-481-5715 or visit the hospital’s website at www.amh.org. Abington Memorial Hospital’s Mary T. Sachs Breast Center will soon begin a $2.5 million campaign for new equipment and improved facilities (see page 5). We talked recently with Linda B. Griska, M.D., director of Breast Health Services, about the Center and its important work. Developments JAIL and BAIL Abington Memorial Hospital 2009 Employee Appeal Employees make “jail time” a philanthropic affair Sabrina Harris and Chris Tierney This just in: Flocks of jail birds from throughout the hospital have been brought to justice. And all for a good cause. As part of “Jail and Bail,” the 2009 AMH Employee Appeal, hospital employees were thrown in the slammer in the cafeteria. AMH bail bondsmen had a particularly busy time of it, handling waves of bail payments in the guise of charitable gift pledge forms. Some 30 “prisoners” were taken into custody. They all had to cool their heels in a mock jail cell until their friends could collect enough pledges to make bail. In a particularly delicious twist, employees could pledge not only to get their fellow workers out of jail, but also to lengthen a prison sentence! It all made for a memorable appeal that not only was lots of fun, but also raised dollars to support the important work of the hospital. Lori Ferro collects a pledge the to the Annual Employee Appeal from Rick Szatkowski that will help to “bail out” Gretchen Graham and Jill Kyle. 4 Left: Barbara Wadsworth and Dr. Jack Kelly Right: Judith Kratka and Beth Ann Neill Women’s Board Update Houses Beautiful On May 7, the Women’s Board’s annual “Houses Beautiful” tour opened the doors to an array of special homes in the Huntingdon Valley area. The spring tour also took in several lovely gardens, and included a luncheon at the Huntingdon Valley Country Club, all to raise funds to benefit Abington Memorial Hospital. Sue Snyder and Judy Sweigard served as co-chairs of the event, and Connie Berg served as honorary chair. June Fete Gala Pennsylvania State Senator LeAnna M. Washington (third from left) and her guest, Judge Jimmie Moore, are joined by gala co-chairs Harriet Lamberg (left) and MaryAnn Watson (right). Is there any place finer to be than under the Tuscan sun? Not if you’re at the 2009 Women’s Board June Fete Gala. Celebrated on April 25 in the Regency Ballroom of the Loews Philadelphia Hotel, the black-tie event, with the theme, “Under the Tuscan Sun,” raised funds to support the services of Abington Memorial Hospital. Harriet Lamberg and MaryAnn Watson chaired the gala committee, with Diane Breckenridge and Jean Fitzpatrick serving as vice chairs. Grimley Financial Corporation was the Platinum Sponsor for the gala. Bernadette Fecher, Rosalie Gallo and Barbara Junkin Art in the Atrium Always an artistic treat, the June Fete’s annual “Art in the Atrium” show and sale opened this spring with a reception on Sunday, April 19. Organized by the AMHF Women’s Board for the benefit of Abington Memorial Hospital, the show is held each year in the hospital’s Shorday Atrium. This year’s show featured the work of artist Rosalie Gallo and was sponsored by Abington Bank. Bernadette Fecher and Barbara Junkin served as co-chairs, Priscilla Royall served as reception chair and Britt Saitta was invitation chair.

F O U N D A T I O N Developments Community responds to hospice need Abington Memorial Hospital’s philanthropic community has stepped forward in response to a pressing need for residential hospice services. With the help of generous charitable gifts, the hospital has created a beautiful new residential hospice facility, which celebrated its completion at an open house in March. The new facility fills an entire floor of the hospital’s Warminster Campus and provides a soothing environment for patients facing the end of life. Each resident is provided a spacious private room that can accommodate family members for shared meals and an overnight stay. The new facility also includes two family lounges, two family sitting rooms and a fully equipped kitchen – all of which make it easy and comfortable for family members to gather and share special meals and time with their loved one. “The need for this facility is great, and there is nothing else like it in our service area,” said Elissa Della Monica, director of Home Care for the hospital. “With our community’s help, we’ve been able to open our doors and hearts to hospice patients with this homelike facility right here on our Warminster Campus.” The new facility was the focus of the hospital’s recent community appeal. For more information about the new residential hospice facility, please call 215-441-6831or visit the “Ways to Give” section on the hospital’s website at www.amh.org. Breast Center campaign begins The Mary T. Sachs Breast Center at AMH will soon begin a $2.5 million campaign to purchase new equipment, improve facilities and expand services. Located in the Abington Memorial Health Center on the hospital’s Schilling Campus, the Breast Center is addressing important capital needs to help it expand its ability to provide leading-edge breast imaging and diagnosis. The campaign will help make possible the purchase of new dual-coil MRI technology, which can image both breasts at once, and will also enable the Center to expand by some 2,000 to 3,000 square feet and make numerous improvements to its interior facilities and entrance. (See Focus on Health, page 3.) For more information about supporting the Breast Center, please contact Jane Wexler, major gifts officer, at jwexler@amh.org or 215-481-2304, or visit the “Ways to Give” section on the hospital’s website at www.amh.org. MLK Committee supports hospice and chapel The hospital’s Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Fund Committee provided generous support for Abington Memorial Hospital’s new residential hospice facility. Since 1991, the MLK Committee at Abington Memorial Hospital has worked to keep the spirit of Dr. King alive through its support of the hospital’s efforts to nurture the health and well-being of our community. In gratitude for the Committee’s support of the new facility, Abington Memorial Hospital named its Warminster Campus chapel in memory of Dr. King at a ceremony on March 18. For more information about supporting the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Fund Committee, please contact Ruth S. Weiss, donor and community relations officer, at rsweiss@amh.org or 215-481-2792. Members of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Fund Committee celebrate naming of Warminster Campus chapel.

A community honors its doctors In March, community members honored their AMH physicians during a Doctors’ Day appeal that raised more than $80,000 in recognition of National Doctors’ Day. Posters were mounted around the hospital to recognize each physician honored by a Doctors’ Day gift, and all honored physicians received personal notification as well. Physicians from throughout the hospital expressed gratitude for the generous outpouring of support. For more information about honoring your doctor, please contact Lori Ferro, annual giving officer, at lferro@amh.org or 215-481-2529, or visit the “Ways to Give” section of our website at www.amh.org.

O U N D A T I O N 13 Lansdale Hospital Update Lansdale Hospital community shows its support L ansdale Hospital’s charitable community has been active since last fall, when the hospital joined with Abington Memorial Hospital as part of the Abington Health network of service providers. At the end of last year, Lansdale Hospital received nearly a hundred gifts in response to an initial appeal to support expanded, state-of-the-art emergency care. Members of the Lansdale Hospital community also stepped up recently with charitable gifts to recognize their physicians in honor of National Doctor’s Day, celebrated on March 30. The names of Lansdale Hospital physicians were featured on honorary posters displayed throughout the hospital. “We’re very pleased that the Lansdale community is supporting its hospital,” says Jill Kyle, AMH vice president for fund development. “Not only through fundraising efforts like the community appeal, but also by way of the hospital’s gift shop and through special events.” In addition, the AMHF Women’s Board recently changed its bylaws to add to its mission the charitable support of Lansdale Hospital. A new Lansdale Auxiliary is currently forming to help raise funds to meet the needs of the hospital. A special event now in the planning stages is a festive Dinner Dance, which will be held in the near future. “Abington Memorial Hospital is working hard to strengthen services at Lansdale Hospital,” says Kyle, “and we’re happy to have the community as our partner in doing so.” For more information about supporting the services of Lansdale Hospital, please contact Lori Ferro, annual giving officer, at lferro@amh.org or 215-481-2529. – On October 31, 2008, Abington Memorial Hospital announced the purchase of Central Montgomery Medical Center as part of Abington Health, and unveiled the center’s new name: Lansdale Hospital. Shown is a new sign reflecting the name change, which was the result of input from physicians, employees, key stakeholders in the North Penn area and leadership from Abington Memorial Hospital.

Charitable Advantage 17 The Rewards of Planned Gifts Do you have a will? A recent study revealed that 57 percent of adult Americans do not have a will. Are you among them? will is extremely important in enabling you to provide for your heirs according to your wishes, name an executor for your estate, establish trusts, make charitable gifts and reduce estate taxes. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, if you do NOT have a will the state will dispose of your assets among your kin with no consideration to your expressed desires. If you have no kin, or if they cannot be located, the state itself will assume your estate. And, without a will, your estate will be open to full federal and state taxation. If you DO have a will, be sure to review it annually for any change in personal status for you or your beneficiaries, and have your attorney review your will every two or three years to see if any changes in the tax laws may call for an update to your will. It is very easy to include in your will a charitable bequest to the Abington Memorial Hospital Foundation (the full legal name to use). Language for an unrestricted bequest can be as simple as the following: A “I give and bequeath to Abington Memorial Hospital Foundation, Abington, Pennsylvania, the sum of $[amount] or [percent]% of the residue and remainder of my estate to be used for general purposes as determined by the Board of Trustees.” For more information about naming Abington Memorial Hospital in your estate plans, please contact Amanda Rice, director of planned giving, at arice@amh.org or 215-481-4019, or visit the “Ways to Give” section of our website at www.amh.org.

If you wish to restrict your bequest, we ask that you discuss your plans with us to be sure we can accommodate your request.
