One of our most valued founding<br />
partners is Missouri Baptist Medical<br />
Center, which operates an NCIdesignated<br />
(National Cancer Institute)<br />
cancer center. Our first hospital<br />
partner, Missouri Baptist donates a<br />
wide variety of health care services to<br />
our patients. Hospital professionals<br />
provide operating facilities and medical<br />
supplies, and the hospital’s affiliated<br />
physician specialists from Midwest<br />
Radiological Associates and Midwest<br />
Hematology-Oncology Consultants,<br />
Inc. donate their clinical expertise.<br />
Additionally, in 2007 and 2008, its<br />
foundation stepped up to provide leadership<br />
level financial support to GTH.<br />
Commitment From<br />
The <strong>To</strong>p<br />
Joan Magruder, president of Missouri<br />
Baptist, actively supports GTH’s<br />
commitment to being a “breast cancer<br />
lifeline.” She volunteers as our<br />
hospital advocate and plays a leading<br />
role in helping recruit other hospitals to<br />
our network. Ms. Magruder recently<br />
made a presentation about GTH to a<br />
group of hospital presidents in the St.<br />
Louis region, launching promising<br />
negotiations with several institutions.<br />
<strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> is extremely grateful to the Cancer Center physicians at<br />
Missouri Baptist Medical Center who have donated services to our<br />
patients. Pictured in the center’s new Healing Garden: (back row) Debbie<br />

oncologist and John Niemeyer, MD, chief of radiology at Missouri Baptist.<br />
“As a nationally recognized cancer center, 20 percent of<br />
our cancer patients come to us for the treatment of breast<br />
cancer,” said Ms. Magruder. “We became involved as<br />
supporters of <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> because of the invaluable<br />
assistance they provide for uninsured and underinsured<br />
women battling breast cancer. At Missouri Baptist, we view<br />
ourselves as stewards of the community’s health, and<br />
working with <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> we’ve been able to donate<br />
life-saving medical services to women in need.”

Receiving <strong>Hope</strong>: Profile of a Patient<br />
When 56 year old Robin B., a single mother of two, moved to<br />
St. Louis in 2004, she had no idea that it was be one of the<br />
best decisions she could make.<br />
In October 2007, Robin observed a change in the size of her<br />
nipple, but did not know what caused it. A few days later while<br />
grocery shopping at Schnucks she noticed Susan G. Komen for<br />
the Cure (Komen) breast cancer awareness information. Just<br />
before she got to her car she went back into the store to pick up<br />
a pamphlet.<br />
“Of course I knew about breast cancer, but I had no idea of the<br />
warning signs or symptoms,” said Robin. “While reading the<br />
pamphlet several red flags immediately went up for me. I called<br />
my sister and we put a plan in action.”<br />
Robin made an appointment at St. Luke’s Breast Care Center for<br />
a test which revealed she had breast cancer. She was scared and<br />
didn’t know where to turn because she has no health insurance.<br />
St. Luke’s referred her to <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> (GTH). She also called<br />
Komen and they recommended GTH too.<br />
“From the moment I called <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> I knew everything<br />
was going to work out for me,” Robin sighed with relief. “I spoke<br />
with Fran Jackson, one of the program nurse managers, and she<br />
was so nice. She reassured me they could help.”<br />
A few days later Robin had an appointment with Marlys Schuh,<br />
MD, Surgical Oncologist at the St. Louis Cancer & Breast Institute,<br />
to review her diagnosis. Because Robin’s cancer was detected<br />
early, Dr. Schuh was able to perform a lumpectomy, not mastectomy,<br />
one week later at the Ballas Outpatient Surgery Center.<br />
Jason Li, MD visits with GTH patient Robin B. during a routine check up.<br />
Next, Fran contacted Jason Li, MD, Medical Oncologist, at Missouri<br />
Baptist and made arrangements for Robin to get evaluated for<br />
treatment. Currently she is receiving chemotherapy, radiation and<br />
hormone replacement therapy.<br />
“Dr. Schuh, Dr. Li and all of the nurses and staff in their offices<br />
and everyone at <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> have been amazing to me,”<br />
explained Robin. “They listen to how I am feeling, they are very<br />
observant of my situation and they always take time to explain<br />
things to me so I am comfortable with my treatment. Their optimistic<br />
approach reassures me that I am getting the best care and I can<br />
focus on getting well and not on my ability to pay for treatment.”<br />

Key to the Cure Boasts Huge Success<br />
Photo coutesy of Ladue News<br />
Event Co-Chairs from left to right: Sheri Diemer, Pam <strong>To</strong>der, Jan Goldstein and Krissy <strong>To</strong>rchin<br />
“ When Saks asked us to be one of<br />
its Key to the Cure beneficiaries,<br />
we never imagined we would<br />
meet a new patient at the gala,”<br />
said Jan Goldstein and Pam<br />
<strong>To</strong>der, GTH event co-chairs.<br />
“Just knowing the event made a<br />
difference in one person’s life<br />
was the icing on the cake.”<br />
Heavy rains did not stop more than 1,000 St. Louisans from<br />
attending The Hunt for Pink October. The kick-off gala and designer<br />
treasure hunt at Saks Fifth Avenue launched the retailer’s eighth<br />
annual Key to the Cure, a national charitable initiative raising<br />
funds and awareness for women’s cancers.<br />
The highlight of the evening came when GTH met an attendee<br />
battling breast cancer who was no longer receiving treatment due<br />
to a recent divorce and loss of her health insurance. One of<br />
GTH’s program nurse managers met with her following the event<br />
and we were able to make arrangements to restart her treatment.<br />
“When Saks asked us to be one of its Key to the Cure beneficiaries,<br />
we never imagined we would meet a new patient at the gala,” said<br />
Jan Goldstein and Pam <strong>To</strong>der, GTH event co-chairs. “Just knowing<br />
the event made a difference in one person’s life was the icing<br />
on the cake.”<br />
This magical evening was followed by four days of shopping<br />
with a percentage of sales benefiting two local charities –<br />
<strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> (GTH) and Siteman Cancer Center (Siteman).<br />
The gala raised over $100,000 that was divided between the two<br />
local charities. <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> is extremely grateful for all of the<br />
hard work and dedication Jan and Pam provided as co-chairs<br />
working closely with Saks and Siteman. Thank you to everyone at<br />
Saks Fifth Avenue especially Kert Rosenkoetter, Debbie Derrick,<br />
Tim Klinder and Vangie Degner.<br />
We also extend our appreciation to Mercedes-Benz USA for<br />
underwriting the gala and other national charity partners,<br />
including the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s Women’s<br />
Cancer Research Fund. We are grateful to the local support<br />
provided by Oppenheimer, The Private Bank, Plaza Motors, and<br />
Ross & Baruzzini Engineers & Architects. Finally, the gala would<br />
not have been the same without the delicious food, desserts and<br />
festive martinis donated by local caterers, restaurants and<br />
beverage companies.<br />
Bracelet for <strong>Hope</strong> Makes a Great Gift<br />
Are you looking for a special Mother’s Day present,<br />
birthday present or gift to celebrate life? Consider<br />
our special Bracelet for <strong>Hope</strong>, a limited edition<br />
silver link charm bracelet designed exclusively for<br />
<strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> by one of the nation’s leading<br />
collectible jewelry designers, St. Louisan Diane<br />
Katzman. Proceeds from all sales help us spread<br />
the word about our program and arrange breast<br />
cancer care for those in need.<br />
Diane’s inspiration for the bracelet came during<br />
her own experience with breast cancer in 2007.<br />
The bracelet features silver and white pearls<br />
symbolizing wisdom and the importance of<br />
spreading knowledge and four charms represent<br />
the <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> mission: a hope pendent,<br />
a heart (compassion and healing), four-leaf clover<br />
(good luck) and a sun (optimism).<br />
