NOTES FROM scott h. sikes Shepherd Center Foundation Executive Director Physical Fitness and Fiscal Fitness PHOTO BY HANNAH MARIE This quarter’s Spinal Column magazine has articles and sidebars on nutrition, exercise, healthy lifestyles and fitness. Many of Shepherd Center’s employees have been participating this year in a healthy lifestyles class about nutrition and exercise, and others have participated in various fun-fitness activities such as lunchtime basketball and volleyball leagues. We need to keep healthy and happy employees to provide the high level of research, care and training we offer our patients and their families and loved ones. Like so many of our employees, I participated in some of these activities and over some months saw my own weight loss and improved fitness. Later, when I had my annual physical examination with my doctor, he said, “Wow, someone actually listened to his physician!” In addition to an annual physical examination, many people also get an annual “fiscal fitness” check-up with one or more of their financial advisors. The fiscal fitness of the hospital is something our chief financial officer, Steve Holleman, and I focus on each day. We constantly strive to be excellent stewards of the funds you donate to us and work to stretch every dollar to help as many patients and families in as many ways as possible. Good stewards are proud to report on their work. To help us in providing timely and good stewardship reports to our donors, we hired Kate Kelsey Barnes from the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce. Kate has lots of duties on her plate, but one of her key duties is to help us report sooner and more thoroughly to all our donors and perhaps most critically to our named endowment fund donors. Our endowment funds are considered by many to be our savings accounts that in theory will help us to weather any economic downturns that occur from time to time. Shepherd Center Foundation’s chairman, McKee Nunnally, has a personal interest in increasing our endowments during his two-year term of office. One of the ways he is going to help us achieve “fiscal fitness” is to ask prospective donors to consider remembering Shepherd Center Foundation in their estate plans. A gift that comes to us after your death via your will, life insurance policy, retirement plan, trust, etc., will make a big impact on others in the future. When you are getting your own fiscal fitness check-up, please ask your financial advisors how you might remember Shepherd Center Foundation in your plans. For example, one quick and easy way to do this is to make Shepherd Center Foundation a partial beneficiary of your existing retirement plan or life insurance policy. While we cannot and do not give legal or tax advice, my colleague Ty Tippett and I can help your financial advisors and you as you simultaneously help Shepherd Center’s future.
