FOCUSED ON THE PRESENT – COMMITTED TO THE FUTURE<br />
Autumn is a busy time of year for us here at the Health Foundation<br />
and the part I like best is to be able to update you, our Donors, on<br />
our recent accomplishments and to bring you greetings on behalf<br />
of the volunteer Board of Trustees of the Health Foundation. We<br />
are very pleased to provide this annual update on our activities<br />
to our many donors, friends, volunteers and supporters – without<br />
your selfless gifts, we wouldn’t be able to continue our work of<br />
increasing patient comfort and enhancing the overall patient and<br />
family experience for our community and the residents of our<br />
area.<br />
WE COULDN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!<br />
We want to take a moment to convey our sincere appreciation for your trust, confidence and<br />
generous past support. Amid the challenges being faced by our provincial healthcare system,<br />
we continue to respond and find ways to overcome these obstacles and advance our mandate<br />
all thanks to the inspirational gifts we regularly receive – We couldn’t do it without you! Now<br />
more than ever, everyone and every donation can and does make a difference everyday.<br />
Your Health Foundation’s volunteer Board of Trustees considers stewardship of your donations<br />
as their #1 priority - 100% local, 100% committed and 100% dedicated to enhancing<br />
healthcare.<br />
It gives me great pleasure to welcome Cal Niebergall as a Trustee to the Health Foundation.<br />
Cal’s longtime association with healthcare in our area and in-depth knowledge of the issues<br />
facing us today is a great addition to our board.<br />
The Foundation remains very fortunate to have a team of staff 100% engaged in the good<br />
work of positively impacting healthcare and continually looking for ways to support donors in<br />
achieving their philanthropic wishes. Please feel free to contact any member of the Foundation<br />
Team anytime as they are always available to answer any questions or wonders you may<br />
have.<br />

Heather Bach<br />
Laurene Enns<br />
Leigh Smythe, Chair<br />
We are pleased to introduce to you Heather Bach and Laurene Enns who<br />
both joined the Health Foundation in August of this year.<br />
Heather, our new Donor Relations Coordinator, was born and raised in the<br />
Medicine Hat area and has been involved with non profit organizations<br />
for 25 years. She believes in strong community involvement and building<br />
strong relationships in both the non profit and business community.<br />
Heather’s personal passion for wellness, community pride and naturally<br />
philanthropic character make her a welcomed team member.<br />
Laurene recently relocated from Winnipeg, Manitoba and brings to the<br />
Foundation a strong background in non-profit orginizations. With her<br />
experience as Program Coordinator and Manager for youth/community<br />
based employment and training initiatives, she is a welcomed and valuable<br />
addition to the Foundation team. As Donor Relations Assistant, Laurene<br />
is looking forward to meeting our donors and together supporting the<br />
enhancement of patient care.<br />
Please join us in welcoming Heather and Laurene to the Foundation team.<br />

Si m p l y GratifyinG . . .<br />
It is simply gratifying to see so many individuals, families and organizations within<br />
our community who continue to generously support the Medicine Hat & District<br />
Health Foundation. Each and every contribution furthers our efforts to take local<br />
healthcare ‘Beyond the Basics’, and for that we are grateful.<br />
Your donations touch lives every day by advancing technology, programs and<br />
services that enrich the care of patients and families at the Medicine Hat Regional<br />
Hospital and Community Health Services.<br />
Keaton Krause is just one of the many lives that have been positively impacted<br />
through your donations. Thanks to a generous gift from Pipeline Grazing Coop,<br />
the Seating Clinic now has an adjustable height mat which helps clients,<br />
caregivers and therapists during assessments and treatments. During a seating<br />
clinic fitting, clients must often make numerous transfers back and forth between<br />
the mat and their new wheelchair. The ability to adjust the height of the mat will<br />
greatly assist with the ease of these transfers for patients and caregivers.<br />
Among the many departments that ensure the highest level of care is available<br />
through your support, the Southern Alberta Renal Program (SARP) recently received<br />
a new medication fridge thanks to the generosity of ACT/UCT. “This new equipment<br />
has allowed us to work collaboratively with the inpatient pharmacy unit to provide<br />
temperature sensitive medication to our patients. Within the SARP Program, Medicine<br />
Hat is unique in the ability of being able to provide this service. Most units must trust<br />
that patients maintain the cold chain when transporting their medication to and from<br />
the unit. We have in fact set the gold standard for safety in the program; this was made<br />
possible with thanks to ACT.” Dale Ross, Patient Care Manager, SARP.<br />
No one can predict when they or someone close to them will need the resources of the<br />
<strong>MH</strong>RH. Philanthropy is growing as donations now regularly play a key role in purchasing<br />
enhanced technology and supporting particular programs and services.<br />

Your gifts to the Health Foundation can provide assurance that the best care will always be available to us and to those we<br />
love. The investment you make today will benefit our community for years to come. We thank you for your trust, confidence<br />
and past support. In times of economic uncertainty, it’s those kinds of values that keep communities strong.

Clients and families in the PAS Adolescent Services Program have something to smile about. Thanks in part to the proceeds raised through the 2008<br />
Sunshine Benefit, PAS received new exercise equipment and the Group Therapy Room underwent a much needed face-lift.<br />
The Group Therapy Room’s new home-like environment is calming and relaxing, encourages interaction, and is positively affecting hospital<br />
experiences for clients and families. “The changes are amazing! So much more cozy and inviting and we have already noticed a remarkable<br />
difference in our therapy sessions and activities. Thanks SO much!” Patti Wagman, Family Health Nurse, PAS Program.<br />
The addition of the exercise equipment promotes healthier living styles and the kids love the new equipment. “With the use of the exercise<br />
equipment, not only do the students benefit from being physically active during the day, but it also gives them energy and a sense of achievement<br />
to manage their mental health in a positive way”. Belinda Hurlbert, PAS Recreation Therapist.<br />
PAS Adolescent Services is a unique program offering professional mental health and academic assistance in a supportive environment.<br />

Just as each one of us faces the challenge of balancing our overall financial obligations<br />
today while preparing for the uncertainty of tomorrow, fundraising organizations<br />
experience a similar destiny.<br />
When we consider our ability to provide an annual donation to a charity, we typically<br />
look at our liquid assets and cash flow – when we consider a planned gift and take into<br />
account our entire Estate, there is a much larger pool of resources to consider.<br />
It is interesting to note that more than 60% of Canadians contribute to the charitable<br />
organizations of their choice during their lifetimes, yet, when the value of their assets<br />
are the greatest, less than 10% continue this support through a gift in their Will or<br />
Estate plan. By making these “planned gifts”, individuals can continue to make an<br />
important difference in their community through their legacy.<br />
Top 5 Reasons to consider a Planned Gift:<br />
~ Leave a legacy of caring and concern<br />
~ Can be structured to create a perpetual gift<br />
~ Meet critical healthcare needs and “give back” to the community<br />
~ Make a difference now and in the future or to honour a loved one!<br />
~ Part of an effective estate tax planning strategy<br />
However you choose to give, we are committed to working with you, your family,<br />
executors and/or financial planners to ensure your wishes are realized. Such gifts are<br />
vitally important to the Foundation’s mandate to focus on the greatest needs of local<br />
healthcare today and tomorrow!<br />
