From the Chairman<br />

David McReynolds, Chair,<br />
<strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
Board of Directors<br />
Greetings,<br />
In this issue of the newsletter, we are pleased to honor a number of <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> stars. As part of the NightShine Gala on April 28th, tribute was paid to some<br />
of the finest people I have ever known: Dr. Ben and Jean Galloway, Russ Dispense and<br />
Dr. Patty Gabow.<br />
Honorees, Dr. Ben and Jean Galloway, have spent their illustrious careers in service to the<br />
<strong>Denver</strong> community. Ben’s early days at <strong>Denver</strong> General Hospital prepared him well for<br />
civic life as a Forensic Pathologist in city, and state government. There is a saying that<br />
goes, “<strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> is not for everyone, but once it gets in your blood you’re hooked<br />
for life.” This has been especially true for “Dr. Ben” who remains a visible and vocal<br />
supporter. His wife, Jean Galloway, is responsible for raising the awareness of an entire<br />
city about the needs of its vulnerable citizens through creative public programs like<br />
9WHo CARE, and 9Cares Colorado Shares. For us, we are indebted to her for inventing<br />
one of our best-know outreach initiatives, “open Your Hearts to Newborns in Need.”<br />
It was a personal pleasure for me to watch them receive this recognition.<br />
Russ Dispense may be the successful President and CEo of King Soopers and City<br />
Market, but he’s not all business—far from it. He was honored at our NightShine Gala<br />
because he understands that <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> is an essential component of our region’s<br />
well-being and has stood by our side in countless ways. He has been a steadfast<br />
supporter of <strong>Foundation</strong> special events and has a special spot in his heart for babies.<br />
Using his stores as a fundraising platform, Russ and King Soopers have made a singular<br />
financial impact on our Newborns in Need program, helping thousands of <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong><br />
babies each year.<br />
Were it not for Dr. Patty Gabow, <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong>’s CEo, I might never have become<br />
involved with the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Board of Directors. It takes a special kind of business<br />
acumen, intelligence and long-range vision to turn around a major institution—especially<br />
one with so many stakeholders. over the years, my admiration for her talents has grown,<br />
and my respect for her accomplishments has deepened. leaders across the country in<br />
all pursuits, both public and private, will do well to learn from her experience. She will<br />
be missed when she retires in September, but I know there will be many opportunities to<br />
reflect on the many lessons she taught me.<br />
Both Patty and I know the importance of surrounding yourself with strong leadership<br />
such as that of our board members and NightShine co-chairs Steve Farber, Pat Cortez,<br />
Chuck Morris and former Mayor Wellington Webb. And, the sensational Hot Rocks Griller<br />
Challenge had its own stellar leadership team of Michael Pollak and John Elway. I hope<br />
you enjoy reading about our successes of the past few months.<br />
Warmly,<br />
David McReynolds<br />

the Hot rocks Griller Challenge, held on wednesday June 13, <strong>2012</strong> at elway’s in Cherry Creek, brought 16 of the top chefs<br />
from <strong>Denver</strong>’s finest restaurants to raise awareness of men’s health issues. It was, once again, for the fourth year in a row, the<br />
party of the summer in <strong>Denver</strong>. the celebrity chef competition raised $93,000 for Men’s <strong>Health</strong> programs at <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong>!<br />
The popular vote by event attendees deemed Tyler<br />
Wiard and Aniedra Nichols, from Elway’s Cherry<br />
Creek, the winning chefs with Aniedra’s Reuben<br />
and a side of Sweet Potato Tater Tots with Habanero<br />
Ketchup. The Chef’s vote was tied with Troy Guard of<br />
Tag and Paul Reilly of Encore as the winning chefs.<br />

Chris Daniels and<br />
the Kings created a<br />
celebratory atmosphere<br />
while guests danced,<br />
socialized, bid on<br />
some incredible<br />
silent auction items,<br />
rubbed shoulders with<br />
professional athletes<br />
and competed in the<br />
heated Hyde Park<br />
High Striker challenge.<br />
Franklin Crosby and<br />
laura Cronin were the winners of the challenge,<br />
earning the highest score and each winning a<br />
gorgeous Movado Bold watch. The VIP lounge<br />
within the event was clearly the place to be with its<br />
stylish atmosphere and incredible wine and alcohol<br />
tastings.<br />
We believe investing in men’s health care initiatives<br />
is imperative to the health of our community.<br />
Because when men remain active and healthy,<br />
families and communities thrive. Dollars raised<br />
through Hot Rocks will improve men’s health education,<br />
access to screening and treatment programs, and<br />
outreach to <strong>Denver</strong>’s medically underserved men.<br />

More than 1,500 people offered generous<br />
support of this year’s NightShine Gala helping raise<br />
more than $1.3 million!<br />
Community activists and philanthropists,<br />
Dr. Ben and Jean Galloway, and Russ Dispense,<br />
President and CEo of King Soopers and City<br />
Market, were highlighted as <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> Stars. The evening’s program was additionally<br />
meaningful when <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> CEo, Dr. Patricia Gabow was<br />
honored. Dr. Gabow has transformed what was once an ailing<br />
city-owned hospital into an independent, efficient health<br />
care system that now serves as a model for the nation.<br />
Dr. Gabow will be retiring in September of <strong>2012</strong>.<br />
The event leadership was provided by tremendous<br />
community leaders: Steve Farber, President and Managing<br />
Partner of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, as the event<br />
chair; Pat Cortez, Senior Vice President, Public Relations of<br />
Wells Fargo Bank; Chuck Morris, President and CEo of AEG<br />
live Rocky Mountains; and former Mayor Wellington Webb,<br />
President of Webb Group International, as the event cochairs<br />
– all of whom were the key to its success.

Steven M. Conn (L) and Dr. Philip Stahel,<br />
<strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Director of Orthopaedics<br />
Dear Dr. Stahel,<br />
on August 21, 2010<br />
I had traveled to<br />
Vail, Co. to go on a<br />
bike ride with several<br />
of my friends. The<br />
day didn’t go as<br />
planned and I ended<br />
up coming to <strong>Denver</strong><br />
<strong>Health</strong> with a severe<br />
neck injury.<br />
When I arrived at <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> I really didn’t know what to<br />
expect or the extent of my injury. I figured it was pretty serious<br />
as I had the attention of many doctors and nurses. So I<br />
focused on the task at hand, which was turning my well-being<br />
over to many people I had never met before. looking back at<br />
the whole ordeal, I consider it a situation where I ended up at<br />
the right place, at the right time, with the right people.<br />
In the emergency room every one was doing their jobs in a<br />
professional and courteous manner. It kept me peaceful and<br />
relaxed as everyone knew what their specific role was and<br />
they showed genuine interest in my situation. No better time<br />
to stay calm, right?<br />
Nationally and at <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong>, one of the top<br />
causes of injury is falls, specifically falls related to<br />
recreational activities such as skiing, snowboarding,<br />
and bicycling. Falls from a bicycle can be very dangerous,<br />
especially when an individual does not wear a helmet.<br />
The data is overwhelmingly clear – bicycle helmets save<br />
lives and prevent injuries. The Insurance Institute for<br />
Highway Safety (IIHS) reports that in 2009 about 91<br />
percent of the 630 bicyclists sustaining fatal injuries did<br />
not wear a helmet. In most cases, says the IIHS, head<br />
injuries were the leading cause of death. Wearing a bicycle<br />
helmet can reduce your risk of head injury by about 85<br />
percent to 88 percent, according to the National Highway<br />
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).<br />
Safety is a priority in ensuring that everyone is able to ride<br />
their bike for many years to come. Bicycle helmets have<br />
changed public safety for bicyclists and it’s important to<br />
have a helmet, wear your helmet, and tell others to make<br />
sure they wear their helmets also. It’s our mission at <strong>Denver</strong><br />
<strong>Health</strong> to help care for you if you are injured – but when<br />
you wear that helmet, you make it less likely that you will<br />
need our help in the future.<br />
~ lauren Croucher, <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Injury Prevention<br />
Coordinator<br />
Then I met you for the first time, the doctor that was going<br />
to make a major difference in my life. You were confident<br />
and optimistic! Your demeanor reaffirmed my belief that<br />
everything was going to be okay in the long run, no matter<br />
what short term obstacles might be in our way. Everything<br />
you told me to expect came true and I couldn’t be more<br />
thankful that I was delivered in to your care. I consider<br />
myself to be a very lucky man.<br />
Please thank all the doctors who assisted during the surgery<br />
and to all of your staff. The nurses who took care of me<br />
during my recovery also deserve a tremendous amount of<br />
thanks as well.<br />
After three months of home recovery I was back to work. Six<br />
months after the surgery I was riding the bike again. My first<br />
bike race was within a year of my accident. This year I have<br />
started my regular bike racing schedule for <strong>2012</strong>. You were<br />
right when you said I would go back to doing all the things I<br />
used to do before that day in August of 2010.<br />
Thanks to everyone at <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong>!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Steven M. Conn<br />
Dear <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong>,<br />
I want to thank your amazing team of doctors, nurses,<br />
therapists, social workers and staff who saved my life. There<br />
was a time when they were not sure if I would live. You never<br />
know what your life holds for you, but thank God I was a<br />
patient at <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong>. I had a road bike accident, I was<br />
riding on a path I had ridden many times before. little did I<br />
know that when I buckled my helmet that morning it would<br />
save my life! Unfortunately I sustained a Traumatic Brain<br />
Injury, crushed Thoracic Vertebrae 7, broke many bones and<br />
was in a coma for weeks.<br />
Your hospital has a group of world renowned trauma doctors<br />
and team that included my family in meetings. At the<br />
meetings the team answered my family’s questions and<br />
informed them of the direction of my health care. My family<br />
and I experienced excellent medical care with compassion.<br />
one and one-half years after my accident I am living a very<br />
full life; I want to thank <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong>, and my bike helmet,<br />
for my life.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
A Very Thankful Patient<br />

each year since 2003, a baby shower to support <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> foundation’s<br />
Newborns in Need program has been held at the Boettcher Mansion at the<br />
Governor’s residence.<br />
New baby items valued at more than $3,000 were donated by 140 guests<br />
who attended on Sunday, May 6th. The afternoon tea provided an opportunity<br />
for the program to thank its most significant donors and volunteers and<br />
“Special Friend of Newborns in Need” awards were presented. Corporate<br />
recipients included The Boppy Company and King Soopers. Private individuals<br />
included seamstress, Brenda llewellyn, Cathy Goodman of the Columbine<br />
Quilt Guild, The Chicks That Click (a group of professional photographers who<br />
donate their services to create the program’s Babies of <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> calendar<br />
each year) and volunteer, Erin Hampton.<br />
<strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> neo-natologist, Dr. Sharon langendoerfer, recounted a few of<br />
the many heart-wrenching situations that she sees daily in her practice.<br />
For their extraordinary support of some of <strong>Denver</strong>’s tiniest and most vulnerable<br />
citizens the <strong>Foundation</strong> thanks its many donors and volunteers and especially<br />
the members of the Newborns in Need Advisory Committee: Dawn Anna,<br />
Sylvia Atencio, Sharon Magness Blake, liz Buckley, Aimee Caplis, linda<br />
Fairbanks, Regan Flanigan, Kelly Ford, Pegie Frazier, Vicki Hanses, Shari<br />

<strong>Denver</strong> throws a Baby shower!<br />
May 5th and 6th was a great weekend for <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Newborns<br />
in Need program. once a year, as Mother’s Day approaches, the entire <strong>Denver</strong><br />
community is invited to rally around the thousands of low-income babies born at<br />
<strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Medical Center. It’s a time when “<strong>Denver</strong> Throws a Baby Shower!”<br />
and donors were invited to drop off new baby items to help the cause.<br />
Dozens of volunteers greeted cars as they drove through the parking lot of the<br />
hospital and unloaded diapers, wipes and new baby items. Many of the vehicles were<br />
carrying donations from baby showers that were held in homes and businesses like<br />
Merrill lynch, Better Business Bureau, Galloway Group, and lockheed Martin<br />
For the first time this year, drop-off locations also included all metro area Coldwater<br />
Creek stores and Kuni lexus Automotive. The generosity of the community was<br />
overwhelming and over 6,000 items were donated – a record-breaking number. Also,<br />
for the first time, the city’s biggest baby shower had a media sponsor, The Boppy<br />
Company. With their support, “open Your Hearts to Newborns in Need” received<br />
tremendous TV publicity on 9News in the form of a public service announcement<br />
featuring newscaster, Cheryl Preheim, that aired in the weeks leading up to the<br />
event. King Soopers again provided a platform for cash donations by offering their<br />
customers a way to give at their local stores during the entire month of May.<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> Program Director, Robin Engleberg, expressed her gratitude by saying,<br />
“Every baby deserves a healthy start in life. But in this economy, many families struggle to provide for their infants. In many cases,<br />
the gifts provided by the Newborns in Need program are the only new items their babies will receive. It means the world to them.<br />
I want to thank everyone who helped to make the day such a success and who support the program year round.”<br />

In her job as Collateral Control Administrator at Wells Fargo<br />

two days off each year to volunteer in the community. She<br />
chose the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Newborns in Need program. She<br />
was so touched by the needs of babies born into poverty in<br />
<strong>Denver</strong> that she made a presentation to the The Good Works<br />
committee. They allocate funds based on recommendations<br />

This is not the first time that Wells Fargo has stepped up<br />
in support of <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>. Since 1997, the<br />
different arms of Wells Fargo, including the national office,<br />
the Wells Fargo <strong>Foundation</strong>, their local branches, and Wells<br />
Fargo Advisors, have generously supported many <strong>Denver</strong><br />
<strong>Health</strong> projects including the Child and Adolescent Pavilion<br />
Project, School-Based <strong>Health</strong> Centers, the Trauma and<br />
Urology endowments, as well as participating as sponsors in<br />
several events including the NightShine Gala, Hot Rocks and<br />
the Riverfront Fashion Show.<br />
Their cumulative donations equal $220,250. Wells Fargo<br />
Vice President, Pat Cortez, has played a major role by serving<br />
as a member of the <strong>Foundation</strong> Board of Directors and<br />
has been instrumental in developing a strong connection<br />
between these two institutions. We salute Ann Coronado and<br />
Wells Fargo for their support of <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong>.<br />

ToAST! to <strong>Denver</strong>’s <strong>Health</strong>, co-chaired by Kasia Iwaniczko<br />
Macleod and Kathleen McCall-Thompson, brought 160<br />
guests together on April 12 for a Springtime cocktail mixer<br />
in the beautiful downtown lobby of Colorado Business Bank.<br />
The event supported level one Society’s efforts to help the<br />
children of our community regain their mental health.<br />
Generously sponsored by Colorado Business Bank, the event<br />
was part of an effort to raise $1.5 million for “Beyond the<br />
Stigma,” a campaign launched last fall to support a research<br />
fund for Child and Adolescent Behavioral <strong>Health</strong>. This new<br />
program is directed specifically to support cutting-edge<br />
research at <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> and raise awareness of behavioral<br />
health issues in children and adolescents.<br />
Thanks to the level one Society’s efforts at the ToAST!,<br />
guests contributed over $11,000 to support this research<br />
fund. Attendees who donated $500 or more received<br />
vibrant and inspiring hand-painted flower pots made by the<br />
Written by Pulitzer Prize winning author,<br />
Eileen Welsome, Healers and Hellraisers is<br />
the story of <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong>’s first 150 years.<br />
The book describes the hospital’s roughand-tumble<br />
beginnings, its near-death in the<br />
1950s, and its emergence as a model for the<br />
nation at the dawn of the 21 st Century.<br />
This is a handsome, lavishly illustrated 188<br />
page hard-bound volume that is a must-read<br />
for all <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> supporters and can be<br />
purchased at www.denverhealthfoundation.org<br />
for $39. 95 plus tax.<br />
toAst! to <strong>Denver</strong>’s <strong>Health</strong> supports the<br />

A Gift of Gratitude…<br />
20 Years later<br />
Sometimes gratitude never diminishes – sometimes it lives<br />
on for years in the hearts, minds and souls of patients<br />
and families.<br />
Such is the case of the<br />
parents of Sue*, a young<br />
woman who twenty years ago<br />
suffered substantial injuries<br />
resulting from an automobile<br />
accident. Though her injuries<br />
were ultimately fatal, her<br />
parents never forgot the care<br />
and compassion she and the<br />
family received at <strong>Denver</strong><br />
<strong>Health</strong>, and the gratitude they<br />
felt never dimmed.<br />
So, twenty years and three<br />
months later, they called the<br />
foundation office and said,<br />
“We always wanted to give<br />
back to <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> and<br />
only just now are in a position<br />
to do so.” After learning more about Sue’s passions and<br />
interests, several recommendations were made for how<br />
our patients today could be made a bit more comfortable,<br />
in Sue’s memory.<br />
The parents made a substantial gift to benefit many areas<br />
of <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong>, including a mobile cart with a variety of<br />
magazines subscriptions, in English and Spanish, so those<br />
in our waiting areas have something interesting and current<br />
to read. Soon, new whimsical art will grace the waiting area<br />
of the <strong>Denver</strong> Emergency Center for Children. The final area<br />
of their gift supports the new Strear Family Garden.<br />
If you wish to express gratitude for the care offered by<br />
<strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong>, please share your story by contacting Karen<br />
Kennedy at 303-602-2972 or<br />
Karen.Kennedy@dhha.org.<br />

1860 legacy Society<br />
A delightful gentleman called the foundation late last year<br />
and shared an amazing gift he decided to make – not a<br />
year end cash donation, not an offer to volunteer his time<br />
and not a donation of much needed winter coats – rather,<br />
he let us know that he had put <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
in his will.<br />
Joe*, who lives humbly, has been a patient of <strong>Denver</strong><br />
<strong>Health</strong> for 24 years. When asked how he decided to<br />
make this gift, he answered, “Since I became a patient<br />
in 1987, the people I’ve come into contact with have<br />
been pretty terrific. I’ve been fortunate to have a<br />
wonderful primary care physician in Dr. Holly Batal,<br />
and Dr. Alison lieberman has also helped me a great<br />
deal. I once considered going to a private practice,<br />
but decided to stay with <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong>.”<br />
Joe, who is without heirs, has directed 95% of his<br />
estate to <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> with instructions to help<br />
our young patients in outpatient Behavioral <strong>Health</strong><br />
department. The size of the gift matters not, it is the<br />
fact that he wants to leave a legacy.<br />
Joe is our first known<br />
donor of a bequest<br />
to <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>Health</strong> and<br />
he has inspired us to<br />
launch our 1860 legacy<br />
society. This is a simple<br />
yet impactful way for you<br />
to leave your own legacy.<br />
The bequest can be a<br />
defined dollar amount or<br />
a specific percentage of<br />
your estate.<br />
Please consider joining Joe in the 1860 legacy Society and<br />
allow future patients to benefit from your decision today.<br />
Karen Kennedy can assist you or your attorney with the<br />
language; she can be reached at 303-602-2972 or<br />
