Caring for Our Community ... Together annual report for fiscal year ending december 31, 2014 From the Board President and Executive Director Dear Friends, 2014 was a year of accomplishment and progress for the Rice Health Foundation. We are grateful for your continuing support and are pleased to share highlights of the year in this report. We celebrated the completion of Rice Care Center’s multi-year, five phased expansion and remodel project. The final product is amazing and exceeded our lofty expectations! Your generous giving made the facility what it has become: a comfortable, state-of-the-art long term care community for seniors to enjoy. Philanthropy not only helped Rice Memorial Hospital create neighborhoods for seniors, it also enabled Rice to invest more of its resources to expand Therapy Suites and better meet the short term recovery and rehabilitation needs of area residents. With one year remaining in the three-year fundraising campaign for this project, we are now $300,000.00 shy of meeting our $2 million commitment to Rice for this incredible community asset. As increasing demands on healthcare continue, keeping Rice Memorial Hospital current with new technology, advanced staff training and high quality medical services remains paramount for the Foundation. That is why we are developing our Planned Giving program to offer more opportunities for individuals and families to leave a legacy that directly support local healthcare services into the future. Many programs and services that improve the health and well-being of patients and the community are only made available with funding from the Foundation. None of these accomplishments would be possible without the many dedicated volunteers who in addition to their gifts, contributed nearly 1000 hours to continue the Foundation’s work. We are truly grateful for the generosity and support of each person who helps us carry out the mission of the Foundation: “Through philanthropy, Rice Health Foundation supports the vitality and quality of care of Rice Memorial Hospital”. Thank you for another year of cooperation and support. Thank you for all you do for Rice! Lara Duininck Board President Rice Health Foundation Shirley D. Carter Executive Director Rice Health Foundation With a match from the Otto Bremer Foundation, the Holiday Festival raised a record $360k to expand inpatient mental health services at Rice and provide Telestroke technology, which aids in the rapid diagnosis of stroke patients entering the emergency room. Friends of Rice rose to the challenge and established a new major sponsorship category that helped us leverage the Bremer gift. our mission Through philanthropy, Rice Health Foundation supports the vitality and quality of care of Rice Memorial Hospital. 2 Meet the Board Rice Health Foundation received gifts and grants totaling $786,577 and disbursed $1,050,400 to support Rice Memorial Hospital’s mission.

They met at the University of Minnesota, where Ken was studying ag business and Alix was studying interior design. Soon after graduation, the two were married. Ken and Alix moved back to the area in 1971. They have three adult children who also reside locally with their families. Together, the family operates Home State Bank, which they have owned since they relocated. Ken and Alix have a mutual love for Willmar and West Central Minnesota. They feel it is important that Rice Memorial Hospital continues to provide quality health care services in the region. How did you get involved in philanthropy? Philanthropy allows us to demonstrate our passion for the community. We enjoy giving to our church and our community. We have been blessed with the ability to share our gifts with others. What inspires you to give? The Willmar area has been supportive of us, so we have decided to make financial contributions back to the community, in places where it makes the most impact. What organizations are you involved in? We are active members and supporters of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Concordia University in St. Paul, Rice Health Foundation, United Way, and Safe Avenues. We feel it’s important that our support extends beyond our faith community and touches the lives of others in many different ways. Why is support of Rice important to you? Rice is a city-owned hospital that provides high quality health care for Willmar and surrounding areas. We have been part of the Willmar area for 44 years and believe in building a strong community. It is very important to us that quality health care remains accessible locally because, it is essential for the future strength and success of the region. 6 Work Here ... Give Here Rice Employees Go Above and Beyond Rice Employees aren’t just dedicated to the work they do at Rice every day of the year. They go that extra mile by making gifts to the Foundation to enhance healthcare services for the benefit of everyone. The annual Employee Campaign is a fun time when employees demonstrate that they work and give at Rice. “ I support Rice Health Foundation because it provides equipment or services that might not otherwise be available.” Rachel Cruz Staffing Department Employee contributions over the previous twelve years total over $673,000, making significant improvements in the delivery of care provided by Rice. Job Swap Challenge Rice’s Chief Executive Officer, Mike Schramm, swapped jobs with Nursing Service Technician, Jed Bendix. Jed was chosen to swap jobs with Mike by employee donors to the 2014 Rice Health Foundation Employee Campaign. At the end of the day they agreed, both jobs are critical to the smooth operation of Rice Hospital! “ I give to the Rice Health Foundation because I believe that the Rice Health Foundation improves the quality of care that we are able to provide to our community.” Aron Meyer Nursing Services Technician “ I believe that Rice Hospital is a wonderful asset to our community. I donate to the Rice Health Foundation because I am proud to work at Rice and be a part of an organization that helps individuals at their most vulnerable moments. By giving to the Foundation, I know I am doing my part to promote the health and wellness of our patients and community.” Chelsey Zondervan, RN, BSN ICCU/Emergency Services 7 FOCUS ON: Rice Care Center Progress Grand Reopening In October 2014, residents and staff at Rice Care Center opened their doors for donors and the public to get a glimpse into their wonderful world of community living! An Open House was held on Tuesday, October 28 for people who made major contributions to the three-year Live Laugh Thrive Capital Campaign. A community Open House was held the following day, on Wednesday, October 29, with over 600 people in attendance. After several years of being “under construction,” the expanded Therapy Suites, two long term care neighborhoods — Sophia House and Cushman Cottage, and community spaces are finally complete! Sophia House and Cushman Cottage allow seniors to live comfortably, enjoy privacy, make decisions about their daily lives, and participate in activities that stimulate their minds and keep them engaged. Each neighborhood has its own private entrance, private rooms with private toilets and showers, as well as spaces for private and community activities. Amenities include The Gathering Place for large events, Suzie’s Styles Beauty Salon, a café, and a large canopy with beautiful gardens. Rice Health Foundation needs $300,000 more to reach its $2 million commitment to Rice Memorial Hospital for this project. Every dollar raised reduces Rice’s debt obligation to improve senior living. We are grateful to everyone who played a role in creating this warm and beautiful place where dignity and respect for seniors are preserved — a place they are proud to call home. 8 Amenities include The Gathering Place for large events, Suzie’s Styles Beauty Salon, a café, and a large canopy with beautiful gardens.

Together In 2014, Rice Health Foundation provided $1,050,400 to Rice Memorial Hospital to support a variety of programs and services, as well as technology and equipment. This support is possible because of your generous gifts to Rice Health Foundation designated funds and endowments. The Rice Health Foundation Endowment was established to provide a stable and consistent source of funds to help meet the changing needs in healthcare. Grants approved by the Foundation Board from endowments accounted for more than $194,000 in support to the Hospital in 2014. Some of the endowment grants awarded are highlighted here. Ready for Anything New Technology Opens Airways In 2014, there were 788 births at Rice. A majority of births are normal, resulting in a healthy baby and a happy, healthy mother. Grant funds purchased simulation equipment that enable all members of the healthcare team to work together and improve the outcome for each mother and child in the event of a high risk obstetrical emergency. A functioning airway is essential to deliver oxygen to a patient’s vital organs, especially the brain. Foundation grant funds have provided the latest model of laryngoscopes – the tool used to open patients’ airways. Breathe Easier Respiratory Therapists are seeing more and more hospitalized patients who also suffer from sleep disorders. The Foundation funded additional equipment to regulate patients’ airway pressure, better manage this chronic condition, and improve the quality of life for patients, during their hospital stay and after discharge. 10 Saving Time, Saving Lives Every year in the United States, more than 1.25 million people suffer cardiac emergencies that result in death or loss of partial heart function. In a 24-month period, 28 people suffering cardiac arrest were treated at Rice. When it comes to heart attacks, speedy treatment is crucial. Defibrillators are lifesaving equipment the ambulance crew uses to transmit cardiac patients’ data to emergency physicians for assessment while being transported to the hospital. Grant funds purchased two defibrillators for the Willmar Ambulance Service. This allows physicians to monitor patients in real time and determine the appropriate interventions to save lives. Giving Newborns the Best Start Breastfeeding is the primary infant feeding choice for new mothers delivering at Rice Hospital’s Women & Children’s Care unit. Lactation counselors provide new mothers the support they need to initiate breastfeeding. Grant funds made certification training possible, to expand and maintain the pool of knowledgeable lactation nurses who help mothers and their newborns with lactation services. Improving the Health and Wellness of the Community The ReYou Wellness Program was created in 2013 to create awareness, provide education and coaching to increase the overall health and well-being of the community. By offering free biometric screenings in the community, the Wellness staff establishes a baseline for each individual to become aware of his/ her current health status and establish goals for improving health through exercise, nutrition and other healthy habits. Grant funding provided Wellness staff with certification training to meet the program’s growth and sustainability goals. New Treatment Improves Swallowing Difficulties Grant funds also provided training for speech therapists to help patients restore and strengthen their swallowing muscles and improve their quality of life. Managing Concussions in Area Athletes Rice Rehabilitation is able to provide area schools and student athletes with concussion management services free of charge. The ImPACT program is a tool used to determine when it’s safe for a student athlete to return to sports following a brain injury. The computerized testing measures student brain function prior to sports activity, so that a baseline is established for reference should a sports injury occur at a later date. The program has been funded through gifts and grants since it began in 2008, and continues to be funded by Rice Health Foundation, the Earl B Olson Endowment, and the American Family Insurance Endowment. Mentoring Nurses Grant funds from the Hans Dahl Education Endowment enable Rice Memorial Hospital to provide a mentor to each new registered nurse as he or she begins work. This program allows more experienced RNs to guide new nurses as they transition to work in the complex, technical hospital environment. Mentoring strengthens the nursing workforce and in turn, improves the quality of care for patients. 11 Increasing Behavioral Health Services: Meeting the Demand In 2014, Rice Hospital Board of Directors approved a $1.6 million renovation and expansion of its 8-bed inpatient behavioral health unit to a 12-bed unit. The focus of the project is to increase access to inpatient mental health services by increasing the ability to admit, evaluate, and treat more patients in crisis. Proceeds from the 2014 Holiday Festival will support this expansion with enhanced therapy services and increased suicide prevention measures. This project will have a major impact on the lives of people affected by mental illness — patients, and the people who love them. “ Rice Hospital definitely needs these four additional beds that we’re going to build. There is such a long waiting period in the Emergency Room now, and people come here expecting to get help locally and often have to be moved to other facilities — even up to hundreds of miles away. This addition will definitely serve them better by being able to help them right here at Rice.” Dr. Daniel Scott Psychiatrist The Rice Behavioral Health staff quietly cares for patients in mental health crisis. 12 Annual Holiday Festival 2014 Holiday Festival Committee Rice Health Foundation’s 2014 Holiday Festival was a resounding success! Friday’s Snow & Ice Gala and Saturday’s Luncheon & Table Setting Fair, along with a generous matching grant from the Otto Bremer Foundation, raised $345,495 to expand the Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit to 12 beds and acquire Telestroke technology at Rice. Committee Support Sandra Gardner Gala guests heard KSTP Meteorologist Ken Barlow’s personal story about his journey with bipolar disorder and the people who help him manage his illness to live a productive life. A delectable meal, silent and live auctions, as well as photo opportunities on a vintage sleigh, were enjoyed by all. Friends Cathy Bays, Dayling Munoz, Sue Olson Data Management Linda Switzer Entertainment Sandy Roelofs, Rayette Schramm, Wendy Ulferts During the Luncheon and Table Setting Fair on Saturday, table setters, musicians, vendors, guests, and volunteers braved the weather to enjoy beautiful tablescapes, connect with friends, and begin holiday shopping. Thank you to our many dedicated volunteers, for committing their time, talents, and treasures to create another wonderful community experience. We extend our gratitude to the generous individuals and organizations who support this fundraising event every year.

They succeeded and as a result, Willmar Police Chief Jim Felt said goodbye to the mustache he has sported for 20 years. The “Movember” challenge encourages men across the nation to grow mustaches during November to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer and other men’s health issues. Bowl for Rice Hospice For over 30 years, people of all ages have come together to raise funds for Rice Hospice with the Bowl for Rice Hospice event. In February 2014, $26,555 was raised by 360 bowlers in nine locations where Rice Hospice offer services. Donor Recognition Dinner 87 donors attended the annual Rice Health Foundation Donor Recognition event on May 1st. This is a special time when donors are recognized and thanked for their support and learn more about how their gifts make a difference at Rice. ACMC Coders Gift to Cancer Care Fund Kids Helping Kids Sunday School kids from Eagle Lake Lutheran Church raised money from their congregation to purchase teddy bears for kids going into surgery. The kids were proud to present a check for $223.43 to the Caring for Children Endowment that funds this and other programs to benefit pediatric patients. 14 Instead of exchanging holiday gifts with each other, the Affiliated Community Medical Center Coding Staff decided to do something to benefit others. Because colleagues had experience cancer, they decided to show their love and support with a donation to WRCC! We Honor Vets As a “We Honor Vets” program partner, Rice Hospice staff recognizes the unique needs of America’s veterans and guides them through their life stories toward a more peaceful end.

We also continue to designate gifts to support the program so that Hospice can be a blessing to other families as well.” Children of Anna Mae Peterson Catherine B.

This has been possible with memorial gifts and donations from families served by the program and individuals in the communities we serve. We have patients and family members who have benefited from massage therapy and healing touch instead of using pharmaceutical interventions. Gifts also make it possible for a hospice musician to provide one-on-one music therapy for our patients and families, helping the patient engage and relax.” Lindsey Peterson, Social Worker Rice Hospice, Montevideo Nathan and Kodi Goracke Green Mill Diane Hagedorn Joel and Cathy Halbritter Angelique Hall Randy and JoNell Hanson Harvey Anderson & Johnson Funeral Homes Fremont Healy Jon and Ramona Hilleren Jackie and Jeremy Hinderks Dr. and Mrs. Michael J.

Sebring Senior Citizen Center “ Having a cancer diagnosis presents a very stressful time for a patient. Our goal at the cancer center is to provide the very best care and donations to the Cancer Care Fund help us do that. These funds make it possible for us to purchase items that help our patients — wigs and head coverings for patients who lose their hair, gas cards to help with the expense of driving long distances to radiation every day, and a variety of books for our patient reference library. Donations have also allowed us to purchase a blanket warmer for our radiation therapy area, a vein finder to make IV starts easier, and the Well Bell to acknowledge the completion of cancer treatment. All of these things enhance the patient experience at the Willmar Regional Cancer Center and we are grateful for gifts to the Foundation’s Cancer Care Fund.” Lisa McBrian, Registered Nurse Willmar Regional Cancer Center Terry and Lois Shaw Joe Shemon Dr. William and Mary Shimp Lyle and Sandy Simenson Simply Said Eunice Y.
