2008 Report to the Community - Yampa Valley Medical Center
2008 Report to the Community Steamboat Springs, Colorado Our mission is to provide excellent healthcare to our communities through safe, personalized and quality services. Current Success, Future Progress Welcome to Yampa Valley Medical Center’s 2008 Report to the Community, a sample of the many services and programs we provide. YVMC offers a breadth of services rarely found in similar small communities. While the environment for health care providers continues to be a challenge, we feel very proud of our ability to continue to grow to meet the needs of northwest Colorado residents and visitors. Special recognition goes to our staff and physicians, whose collective efforts were recognized in 2007 by our patient satisfaction survey firm. For the fifth year in a row, patient feedback placed YVMC in the top ten of the 300 hospitals surveyed nationally by Avatar International, Inc. In 2007, planning began in earnest for a 2 Y a mp a V a l l e y M e d i c a l C e n t e r facility expansion to double the size of our Family Birth Place and build an additional operating suite and minor procedure area. The expansion will also alleviate some of the crowding that has resulted from our growth since the campus opened in 1999. Two new services began in early 2008. Heart Center of the Rockies, a cardio-thoracic specialty practice based in Fort Collins, opened a full-time Steamboat Springs office in January. To support this service, the Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley has assisted YVMC in upgrading diagnostic capabilities and is working to develop resources for future needs. YampaWorks, a new program providing a full-scale occupational medicine service to large and small businesses, launched The Yampa Valley Medical Center 2008 Board of Trustees.

Thanks for Being There in February 2008. This is the only service designed around the specific needs of employers and employees. At the end of 2007, Jane McLeod completed her term as Chair of the Board of Trustees and was succeeded by Sharon Gulley, M.D. We thank Jane for her leadership during a time of significant growth. As we continue our commitment to quality care and service development, YVMC is well-positioned to take on the challenges of the future. Karl Gills CEO Sharon Gulley, M.D. Board Chair Throughout this report, we feature letters from patients who share their thanks for the care they received at YVMC. Dear Karl, I want to personally thank you for the service my daughter Bailey, age 6, received in your Emergency Room on Thursday evening, March 15, 2007. Specifically, I would like to thank David Wilkinson, MD, and Jeannie Karren, RN. Their kindness, competence and service were great. As a fellow Hospital Administrator, I know the service issues that patients and families can encounter in an ER experience. Karl, please know that we left our townhome for your ED shortly before 6 p.m. and were back having dinner by 7:15 p.m. Excellent work and service by all! Thanks again for being there for my family. Keep up the great work! Sincerely, Jeffrey D. Nowlin Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center, Houston, Texas Patient satisfaction comes first at YVMC. Jeannie Karren and Annabelle Fisher are two of our registered nurses who helped YVMC earn the Avatar International Five Star Service Award for Overall Best Performer. Presented in February 2007, the award places YVMC among the top 10 hospitals in Avatar’s national database for the fifth year in a row. Our Emergency Department was also honored for top service. www . yvmc . o r g 3 Baby, We’re Growing! Those bright little bundles of pink and blue continue to arrive in record numbers. Spurred by the ever-rising birth rate, YVMC will break ground in 2008 to double the space for the Family Birth Place, which includes the Special Care Nursery. The emphasis is on enhanced comfort, privacy and support in a family-friendly design. Features include a new family waiting room, a lactation consultation room and an expanded area for healthy babies and the Special Care Nursery. Spacious rooms will accommodate a support person for each mother. Often, mothers are moved to the Medical/ Surgical unit for care after their babies arrive due to overcrowding in the current space. We anticipate being able to care for all maternity patients within the expanded Family Birth Place. 4 Y a mp a V a l l e y M e d i c a l C e n t e r Expansion is also planned for the surgery department, another area of steady growth. As our surgeons continue to perform more cases and more complicated surgeries, a fourth operating room is needed. Additionally, two new suites for minor procedures will offer patients a less-intensive environment. Construction crews are poised to begin excavating and raising walls as soon as the snow melts in the spring of 2008. The two major building additions and a series of internal remodeling projects will be completed in 2009. Not all of our expansion requires new construction; numerous programs and services are growing within existing space. A prime example is cardiology. The valley’s first fulltime cardiologist, Dr. William Baker, arrived in January 2008. Family Birth Place staff welcomed a record number of newborns in 2007 and eclipsed the previous monthly record with 59 deliveries in October. Pictured are Chip Parfitt, RN, of the Special Care Nursery, Mary Gills, NNP, and Meg Widmer, RN, labor-delivery nurse. Crews constructed an access route to facilitate an early spring groundbreaking for the YVMC expansion. The YampaWorks team includes Meg Montgomery, RN, BSN, Ted Morton, CPTA, and Linda Starks, MSN, NP-C. Cardiac Rehab Coordinator Susan Cowan, RN, MN, and Medical Director William Baker, MD. Dr. Baker is the region’s first full-time cardiologist. As YVMC’s Medical Director of Cardiology, Dr. Baker is overseeing the well-established Cardiac Rehab program at SportsMed and developing programs that can be supported with a full-time cardiologist in the community. YampaWorks launched the region’s first comprehensive occupational medicine program in February 2008. Director Ted Morton, physicians specializing in occupational medicine and YampaWorks staff provide needed services to employers and their staffs, including: ■ Occupational physical exams and injury management ■ Diagnostic services – from pulmonary function tests to pain management ■ Drug and alcohol screening ■ Preventive services such as functional capacity evaluations and ergonomic job site evaluations Treated with Special Care Mr. Gills, I am writing to you to thank you for the wonderful experience my family had at your medical center. On June 19, 2007 I went into premature labor. From the moment I entered Yampa Valley Medical Center I was treated by the kindest and most helpful medical professionals. My newborn son was treated with special care. I would like to thank everyone I remember: Edie, JoAnne, Suzie, Chip, Heather, Darlene, Amanda, Susan, Meg, Jeanne, Char, Michelle, Ruth and Victoria. Doctors Palmer, Bowman and Ahlmeyer all were absolutely amazing and made coming to Steamboat Springs midway through my pregnancy such an easy transition. A special thank you to Doctors Harner and Harrington and their staff for taking special care of Kasen and me. You are fortunate to have so many caring employees. Nothing compares to how I was treated at your facility. My deepest gratitude! Angela Young ~ Steamboat Springs www . yvmc . o r g 5 Technology Drives Advancements in Care Medical care and technology are as interdependent as skiing and snow. A commitment by YVMC to purchase the latest equipment and put it in the capable hands of our healthcare professionals adds up to continual advancements in care. With strong support from our Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley, YVMC was able to enhance cancer diagnosis and improve nuclear medicine studies in 2007. Pathologist William F. Cox, Jr., M.D., expanded his field of vision with a 12.1megapixel microscope camera attachment. He can magnify the cells, view them on a full-screen monitor and consult with Denver colleagues who see the images simultaneously. The camera is an important tool in 6 Y a mp a V a l l e y M e d i c a l C e n t e r diagnosing numerous serious diseases. The new nuclear medicine camera produces superior images and a more comfortable experience for patients. Exam times have been reduced by half, said YVMC Lead Nuclear Technologist Kevin Chapman. Nuclear medicine studies provide vital information about bones and organs; they also measure the effect of cancer treatments on the heart. A new program at SportsMed relies on technology to help determine the causes and extent of incontinence and pelvic pain. Biofeedback is an important part of the individualized therapy that helps adults and children take control of their lives by gaining control of their bladders. Kevin Chapman demonstrates YVMC’s new gamma camera used for nuclear medicine studies. Therapists Kim Miles and Marybeth Strotbeck review patient data. Biofeedback is an important component of incontinence treatment at SportsMed. Tracie Line, NNP, obtains an oxygen reading on Shane Rocco Mariano for a research study on how altitude affects newborns. The Nurses were Outstanding Technology plays a role in a study that may one day guide care standards for healthy babies born at moderate altitudes. YVMC Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Tracie Line, with assistance from Jane Dickinson, YVMC Diabetes Education Program Director, recruited Brigham Young University and Intermountain hospitals in Utah to lead the study in which several mountain-town hospitals are participating. Line hopes to discover and publish the oxygen-saturation norm for healthy newborns. “We want this study to benefit the worldwide medical community, not just our little corner of northwest Colorado,” she said. “This could have an impact on all babies born in the Rocky Mountain West and at similar altitudes around the world.” Dear Mr. Gills, I want to express my sincere thanks to all the staff for the excellent care I received during my recent hip replacement surgery on August 16, 2007. My surgeon was Michael Sisk. He was superb and gave me great confidence and care. All the nurses were outstanding but there was one nurse that I would like to commend. Carrie Hoover was on the night-shift for most of my stay. When she entered my room I never had to ask her to do something. She always knew exactly what I needed without me saying anything. She was very efficient and at the same time demonstrated exceptional caring and medical ability. I am very grateful for the Four months after her success of my surgery and that I hip replacement surgery chose to have it done at YVMC. Sincerely, Pam VR Long Palm City, Florida and Steamboat Springs, Colorado at YVMC, Pam Long enjoys a snowshoe trek along Stagecoach Reservoir. www . yvmc . o r g 7 Cancer Services Growing to Meet Needs Sharon Schoening feels blessed that the care she requires is available at Yampa Valley Medical Center. “I didn’t even know that cancer services were here until I needed them,” she said. YVMC has been providing chemotherapy and other cancer care services since 1990. Registered nurse Jan Fritz, who has coordinated the program on a part-time basis since the beginning, is now the new full-time Director of Cancer Services at YVMC. “The dimensions of cancer care have grown and the treatment options have become more complex,” said Karl Gills, CEO. “Jan’s commitment enables us to take the next step in enhancing the total care experience for our cancer patients.” The need for cancer care continues to grow in the Yampa Valley. YVMC patients are well-served by the oncologists who provide 8 Y a mp a V a l l e y M e d i c a l C e n t e r advanced care and the latest treatments. Dr. Allen Cohn and Dr. Robert Rifkin practice at Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers in Denver and regularly see patients in Steamboat. As medical treatment evolves, Jan also looks beyond the disease to what she considers the most important thing: how the patients are going to live with cancer. “We do everything we can to keep our patients in the best place they can be, addressing their physical, emotional, and nutritional needs,” Jan explained. For example, physical therapy and treatment of lymphedema, both offered at YVMC’s SportsMed, can help counteract the effects of cancer. Just a few steps across the hall, patients can get free information on current cancer research at the Community Health Resource Center. For the few cancer-related services that YVMC’s patients find comfort in a warm and soothing environment at the Infusion/Chemotherapy Center. Jan Fritz, RN, YVMC’s new Director of Cancer Services, and oncologist Al Cohn, M.D. As Women’s Imaging Coordinator, Julie Isaacs assists women with diagnostic tests at YVMC and helps arrange follow-up care. Each One is an Angel are not provided locally, YVMC supplies guidance and support. Julie Isaacs, a longtime radiologic technologist and mammographer at YVMC, was named Women’s Imaging Coordinator in 2007. Julie helps women navigate through the system when followup diagnostic imaging is needed. Sharon Schoening is grateful to be able to stay so close to home for her care, which she calls remarkable. “My surgery was immediate, every question I have is answered, and everyone is very compassionate. I have had overwhelming support,” she said. “The whole town of Hayden has rallied for me, helping me get to my chemo treatments and bringing us meals. I can’t imagine having to travel all the way to Denver when you have cancer.” I would like to thank Jan Fritz, Terri Hawkins, Shannon Sheldon, Tina Wilkerson and Lynn Jones in the Infusion/ Chemotherapy Center, where I have spent the last six months undergoing treatment. I must say this is the best facility, with state-of-theart equipment and quality care that I believe is unsurpassed in the state. The staff and surgeons in your outpatient surgery department have treated me with the utmost respect and dignity and Terri Hawkins, RN, who provides made my time cancer care at the YVMC Infusion/ there most pleasChemotherapy Center, checks blood ant and comfortpressure for Sharon Schoening. able. Each one of them is an Angel who helped me through a most difficult time. They treated me as a person, rather than a number. Please share with all the nurses and Drs. McCaulley and Hermacinski my deep gratitude for their compassion and excellent care and their obviously deep commitment to their work. Sharon L. Schoening Hayden www . yvmc . o r g 9 Volunteers “STAR” at YVMC Our 200 volunteers make a difference every day at YVMC, providing an invaluable resource for patients and staff. In 2007 we introduced two new programs. STAR stands for Safety Teaching using Auxiliary Resources. The STAR service helps patients to become active participants in their health care. YVMC Auxiliary volunteers sit down with patients and encourage them to be educated, involved and curious. “We hope to break down the barriers between patients and care providers,” said Linda Casner, Senior Director of Patient Safety and Clinical Education and founder of STAR. “It’s a way for patients to feel more in control in a place where they may feel vulnerable.” On the outpatient side, the SportsMed Players have raised the level of service at our physical therapy and rehabilitation center. “Not only do they allow our therapists and aides to spend more time with patients, 10 Y a mp a V a l l e y M e d i c a l C e n t e r they enhance our welcoming atmosphere,” said Peggy Van Vliet, SportsMed clinic coordinator and Players founder. SportsMed Players prepare hot and ice packs, clean tables and equipment, and restock supplies. They also greet patients, bring reading materials and offer moral support. The Players are a great fit with our “SportsMed spirit,” an upbeat atmosphere that helps the healing process. Many Auxiliary members devote time to the Rubber Ducky Race, a popular fundraiser. The thousands of duckies that swam down the Yampa River allowed thousands of dollars to be poured into a complete remodel of the family waiting room on the Patient Care Unit. For information about volunteer opportunities at YVMC, call 970-879-1146 or visit www.yvmc.org. SportsMed Player Ann Ross offers comfort to patient Kelly Proudley, while Physical Therapist Tracy Parcheta works on her knee. The Yampa Valley Medical Center Auxiliary, Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley and Irene Nelson Interiors funded a remodeling of the family waiting room at YVMC in 2007.

Gifford, celebrate her 4th birthday at the Doak Walker Care Center. Creating A Community We never stop wanting to give back. This cornerstone of the national Eden Alternative philosophy is embraced by residents at the Doak Walker Care Center who continue to find meaningful ways to help others. On Denim Day, staff members pay for the privilege of wearing jeans to work, and the elders donate proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research. Funds generated at an annual holiday crafts and bake sale have purchased phone cards for our troops overseas and assisted with multiple sclerosis research. The newly renamed Community Life department enriches the lives of our residents. A men’s group lunches together monthly. Elders host wedding and baby showers for staff, dispensing sage advice and well wishes. A “getting to know you lunch” welcomes new residents. Our monthly activities calendar, planned with input from residents, includes plenty of interactions with the infants, toddlers and preschoolers who attend our on-site GrandKids Child Care Center. Whether enjoying ice cream socials or spontaneous hugs, everything feels better when generations are growing together. An Amazing Team Dear Staff of ICU at Yampa Valley Medical Center, We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful care and extra TLC you gave Brendan after his snowboarding injury. Special thanks go to Dr. Allen Belshaw, nurses Melissa Uchitelle-Rogers and Annabelle Fisher, and case manager Jane Howell. Your expertise and kind, caring manner were so gratefully appreciated. You are an amazing team and a credit to your profession. Now that we are back home in Canada we reflect back on how his unfortunate accident was eased by so many who cared.

He was knowledgeable, smart, a great surgeon, and had a perfect bedside manner. He even gave me tips on the things I was still able to do post-op to salvage the rest of my vacation. I’m very thankful to have had such a great OB/Gyn. Dr. Kimberly Wright, OB/Gyn ~ Naperville, Illinois As I am nearing full recovery from my “little bicycle incident” in June, I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to the nursing staff and Dr. Mark Hermacinski for their attention during my stay at YVMC. Being away from home, I was very grateful for the care, understanding and support through what was a difficult time. David Currie ~ Houston, Texas Dr. Jennifer Kempers was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Her treatment was the very best! After each examination Dr. Kempers stated that I was doing great, and left me no unanswered questions. She even wrote the names of all my medications on my tablet so I could tell my primary physician what I was given. Eddie Robinson ~ San Antonio, Texas Rehabilitation Medicine Cliff Gronseth, M.D. John Tobey, M.D. www . yvmc . o r g 13 Patient Financial Counselors Kris Seybold and Stephanie Courson guide patients through the process to qualify for charity care and other financial assistance programs provided by YVMC. Non-Profit, No Tax Support What does non-profit mean? At Yampa Valley Medical Center, it means: ■ Receiving no tax support. ■ Providing $2.25 million in charity care in 2007. ■ Using all revenues in excess of costs to develop medical services. ■ Offering a generous financial assistance program for patients. ■ Providing numerous programs that benefit the community. Northwest Colorado’s only non-profit, non-tax-supported medical center, YVMC depends solely on patient care revenue and charitable gifts. YVMC needs to maintain a positive margin as any business does. Our margin is generally at or below national recommendations for small and rural hospitals. 14 Y a mp a V a l l e y M e d i c a l C e n t e r These funds are used to: ■ Keep nurse-to-patient ratios well above national standards ■ Retain and recruit qualified staff ■ Purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment ■ Add new services ■ Enhance existing programs ■ Maintain the buildings and campus ■ Expand to meet future needs Our financial performance is achieved while maintaining overall charges and expenses below comparable hospitals and state averages, according to Colorado Hospital Association data. Through careful management and community support, YVMC will continue to provide quality care while meeting the financial challenges that all hospitals face.

I told Kris that my husband and I had both retired and the rest of our money problems. She is an angel and helped me so much. I’m forever grateful.

I was treated in the ER in October 2007, later in the evening. Ann Compton was my nurse and Dr. Laura Sehnert was my physician. They were both very attentive and sympathetic to my issues, being very professional at the same time. I cannot tell you what a difference it makes when you don’t feel well to be treated with such care! Kimberly Cardille ~ Steamboat Springs To Annabelle Fisher, Connie Andrews and Mona Warren: Annabelle: Just a quick note to thank you for your loving and conscientious care during my stay in your hospital December 31, 2007. You are particularly compassionate, careful and professional in your care. I very much appreciate it. Mona: Nights are especially difficult for patients but you made me feel comfortable and safe. Your nursing skills are superb but your personal interest in me and my welfare was extraordinary. Connie: You were so thoughtful of me and my needs that you could have been my sister. Your enthusiasm for the comfort of your patients is special. I am so glad I was a beneficiary of your work. I am home, safe, sound and well. Thank you again and may your 2008 be blessed! Karen Grubaugh ~ Boerne, Texas I just wanted to let you know that during the stay I had at YVMC for my knee replacement surgery in July 2007, the nurses and nursing assistants were the best ever. Everyone that I encountered, from the housekeeping staff to the CNAs to the nurses to the doctors, was just wonderful. I should also include the admissions staff that pre-registered me and the physical therapy staff. YVMC is the place to stay if you need to be hospitalized. Debra Crouch ~ Hot Sulphur Springs I was a day surgery patient in August 2007. I just wanted to say thank you for the professional, caring way you treated me during what was an emotionally trying time for my husband and I. I was in contact with people in admissions, the lab, and of course everyone in day surgery, nurses, doctors and anesthesia. The process was smooth, everyone was compassionate and again, professional. I would love it if you would forward this email to all appropriate departments and to anyone else who might like to know what a top-notch facility you have!

Diane Tarnoff, Chair H e a l t hc a r e F o u n d a t i o n f o r t h e Y a mp a V a l l e y 19 About the Foundation The Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley helps Yampa Valley Medical Center to purchase medical equipment and provide life-saving services and programs. It has a vital and continuing role in preserving and enhancing services. Established in 2001, the Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity. It provides financial support for the non-profit Yampa Valley Medical Center, which does not receive any tax assistance and relies on charitable donations. As the principal fundraising body for YVMC, the Foundation is dedicated to working with the community to improve the quality of life for this and future generations of families and others in need of quality healthcare. In an era of rising demand and costs that YVMC faces for providing care, the challenge 20 H e a l t hc a r e F o u n d a t i o n f o r t h e Y a mp a V a l l e y for the Foundation is not only to maintain community support for YVMC, but also to increase it. To achieve this goal, the Foundation is committed to the pursuit of excellence in the quality of YVMC’s services, efficient fundraising, cost-effectiveness, integrity, accessibility and good governance and administration. OUR VISION: To be renowned for creating innovative and effective fundraising and awareness campaigns for the benefit of Yampa Valley Medical Center. To support the premier regional medical center of northwest Colorado, Yampa Valley Medical Center, in order to provide those medical services where we can achieve excellence and create a dedicated referral system.

Supporting Healthcare Karen sat in a comfortable recliner bed, headphones piping soothing music to her ears and an intravenous line pumping lifesaving fluids into her body. A few hundred yards down the hall, George sat in a lively and colorful dining room enjoying a vanilla soft-serve ice cream cone, his wheelchair parked among a throng of friends all enjoying life’s simple pleasure. The high-tech Infusion/Chemotherapy Center and an oldfashioned ice cream machine have something in common – the Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley – the organization that helped fund the equipment that is improving the health and wellbeing of residents throughout northwest Colorado. Donations enable the Foundation to support, establish or expand many important projects and programs as well as purchase equipment so that you and your loved ones can be cared for by your community, in your community. “The staff took excellent care of me. They became like family. A scary situation became a very positive experience. After treatment I didn’t always feel good and it made a big difference being able to have this care in my own community where people could drop by the chemo center and visit,” says Karen Schulman, professional photographer and a patient of the Foundation-supported Infusion/ Chemotherapy Center. The care Denny Swanson’s brother received from the Doak Walker Care Center was as much about an ice cream social as it was the hightech, state-of-the-art equipment. In gratitude, Denny and his wife, Joy, donated a soft-swirl ice cream machine to make the weekly ritual of seniors joyfully sharing a tasty treat with giggling toddlers from GrandKids Child Care Center even more special. “We want to create a community with the residents, children and staff, friends and family so life here is like home,” says Celia Buckley, Doak Walker Care Center’s Community Life Coordinator. “This generous donation helps create daily pleasures that are really important ways to bring us together.” H e a l t hc a r e F o u n d a t i o n f o r t h e Y a mp a V a l l e y 21 Healthcare Foundation Funds in Action WHAT WE RAISE MONEY FOR The Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley raises funds to help Yampa Valley Medical Center purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment and support life-saving services, training and education programs. YVMC’s extensive and diverse needs are directly related to the treatment and care of thousands of patients each year. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Some programs, services, technology and equipment the Foundation supports include: ■ ■ ■ ■ 22 Cancer prevention and detection, establishing the Infusion/Chemotherapy Center Computerized mammography systems Cardiac services Chronic disease management H e a l t hc a r e F o u n d a t i o n f o r t h e Y a mp a V a l l e y SportsMed’s Pediatric Therapy Services Emergency medical services, ultrasound equipment Doak Walker Care Center GrandKids Child Care Center Community health and wellness education Upgraded technology throughout YVMC Nursing education and training Special clinical initiatives The Radiology Department’s new Cardiolite nuclear medicine camera, purchased with Foundation funding, allows technicians to scan patients in half the time and with higher quality images than the previous equipment. “It’s a huge benefit and patients are much happier,” says Kevin Chapman, Lead Nuclear Medicine Technician. The Doak Walker Care Center is one of many community health programs that receive funding from the Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley.

The Foundation does not provide philanthropic support for reimbursable patient care expenses or the general operating budget. Kathy and Steve Cain wanted to honor the memory of their friend, Steamboat Springs builder Pat “Cowboy” Nugent who died of melanoma, by raising money to help others in Steamboat receive local cancer treatments. With guidance from the Foundation, “Team Cain” received donations to run in the Chicago Marathon. Their effort brought nearly $10,000 for the Infusion/Chemotherapy Center and for a new 12.1-megapixel camera to aid YVMC pathologist Dr. William F. Cox Jr. in diagnosing cancerous tumors and other diseases. “This technology is what you find in large metropolitan hospitals,” Dr. Cox says. “Now we have it here thanks to this donation augmenting the cancer care abilities of YVMC. This type of community support has an enormous impact.” Many programs and services offered by Yampa Valley Medical Center rely primarily on philanthropy for their continued existence, and others count on gifts to enhance or expand their programs. Countless lives have been touched through the initiatives of the Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley. “We wouldn’t be able to serve the number of people or provide the level of services without donor support,” says Beth Staunton, occupational therapist for YVMC’s Pediatric Therapy Services at SportsMed about the Foundation’s assistance. H e a l t hc a r e F o u n d a t i o n f o r t h e Y a mp a V a l l e y 23 Fundraising Events To support its charitable mission, the Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley conducts special events each year aimed at raising funds to enhance the health and wellness of our communities. 5th Annual Penguin Plunge Saturday, March 29 – Noon at Lake Catamount Jump in and take the plunge in a really “cool” fundraising event.

It All Comes Back - A Lifetime of Giving He may not have consciously decided to create a legacy, but the mark that 84-year-old Don Lufkin leaves on the Steamboat Springs community is indelible. A special cause Don has embraced over much of his life has been the hospital. A director on the board of the former Routt Memorial Hospital, Don supported the community effort to build the facility in the 1940s. As board chair, he oversaw the hospital’s 1976 expansion that established a modern emergency department, radiology department and operating room. He also helped raise funds in 1979 to incorporate the community nursing home into the hospital and again contributed to the capital campaign that saw the new hospital, Yampa Valley Medical Center, become a reality in 1999. “It all comes back,” Don told a newspaper reporter when he was being honored by the Yampa Valley Community Foundation as the 2000 Philanthropist of the Year. Don was referring to the kindness his father showed an orphaned drifter who worked on his family’s 26 H e a l t hc a r e F o u n d a t i o n f o r t h e Y a mp a V a l l e y ranch. Later in life, this same worker returned the favor when Don found himself in great need. That lesson has stayed with Don. The spirit of giving was passed down to Don from his grandmother, Ida Dupiere, who came to Steamboat Springs in 1902 and homesteaded the Lufkin ranch on Highway 40 where Don worked for more than 60 years. She donated the land to build the Mesa Schoolhouse where Don would graduate and many years later become a major benefactor in its purchase and rehabilitation. Don’s philanthropy cuts a wide swath through the valley with abundant awards, recognitions and yellowed newspaper clippings filling several scrapbooks alongside cherished family photos and mementos. His humble benevolence speaks to the heart of our community. Now a resident of the Doak Walker Care Center, the same nursing home he helped save, Don says he is proud of his accomplishments. Grinning with pleasure during the center’s weekly ice cream social, he says unequivocally, “It’s important to leave a legacy.” Donations Giving Trees We gratefully acknowledge our generous contributors who continue to make a difference. Some of our largest contributions in 2007 came from Steve Dawes for GrandKids’ playground equipment; Kris and Bill Bensler; and Alpine Bank assisted with event sponsorships. Our long-time friend, Gloria Gossard, helped purchase a sensor machine to monitor patients’ ventilation and oxygenation. The Regenstein Foundation has consistently made donations to upgrade equipment for enhanced patient care. Since her initial gift to help build the new Medical Center, Franny Mervis continued her support in 2007. For six years in a row, the Litterman Family Foundation has provided unrestricted gifts for some of our greatest needs. Denny and Joy Swanson made a generous donation to the Doak Walker Care Center in gratitude for the care provided to their family member.
