Summary Report 2007-2008

Reaching New Heights
For SwedishAmerican, the past two
years have been marked by reaching new
heights of achievements as we continually
improve the quality of our care and the health
of the greater Rockford region.
The commitment of our employees,
physicians and board of directors to the
patients we are privileged to serve has
produced unprecedented results.
Our challenge remains to deliver on
our promise and mission, which is: through
excellence in healthcare and compassionate
service, we care for our community.

A Message to
the Community
from Dr. Bill Gorski, President and CEO
For SwedishAmerican, 2007 and 2008 were years of reaching new heights—reaching
up to continually improve the quality and efficiency of our care, and reaching out to
improve the health of the greater Rockford region.
Over the past two years, we have enjoyed extraordinary success that can be measured
in many ways—clinical outcomes that are among the best in the nation; growth in infrastructure,
market share and preference; the quality of our facilities; and the personal strength and
dedication of our board, management, physicians, nurses and employees.
According to a third-party research firm, consumers consistently rate SwedishAmerican
best in terms of cardiac care, women’s health, doctors and surgery. In fact, we are at a point
in time when our market share in Winnebago County and in our primary service area are
the highest they’ve ever been. SwedishAmerican Health System’s lead in overall preference
for our primary service area also has reached an all-time high.
After an extraordinary beginning, the Heart Hospital at SwedishAmerican continues
to deliver outstanding service and patient care. In 2007, all units within the facility opened
to accommodate ever-increasing growth. Best of all, this growth has been met with tremendous
patient and staff experiences, as well as accelerating excellence and outcomes in our cardiac
services. This is exemplified by numerous honors, including the Society for Thoracic
Surgeons Award.
Last fall, we broke ground on the new Ryan Jury Child Development and Learning
Center, which is named after a courageous boy who died of cancer at the age of 23 months.
The center, which now offers full-time and part-time daycare for employees, is a lasting
memorial to Ryan and a testament of the care he received at SwedishAmerican.
Earlier this year, we celebrated a significant milestone in the acquisition of Northwest
Suburban Community Hospital in Belvidere. Opening in early 2009, the newly named
SwedishAmerican Medical Center/Belvidere will ensure and restore appropriate healthcare
services to the growing city of Belvidere, eastern Boone County and the expanding areas of
adjacent McHenry and DeKalb Counties.

Some of the most far-reaching achievements of the past two years include the use of
technology to improve safety and the patient experience, as well as being the first hospital in
our area to perform the latest medical procedures. For example, SwedishAmerican was the
first in the region to automate the delivery of medication at the bedside through barcode
technology, perform Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomies and use new MRI-guided
breast biopsy technology.
This past fall, the SwedishAmerican Medical Group completed the implementation of
EPIC Systems’ electronic medical record (EMR), which revolutionized the way we deliver
healthcare within our clinic system.
The culmination of these and other achievements has resulted in SwedishAmerican
reaching new heights. However, although we are recognized as the most preferred health
system in our community, we are conscious of the need to continually enhance our services,
and to set and achieve higher standards. Providing safe, high-quality care requires a
compassionate, committed, knowledgeable and skilled staff.
We are proud of our culture, which differentiates us from other workplaces. Our
culture promotes honest and open communication that values and recognizes the
contribution of every employee, and encourages strong relationships between coworkers
based on mutual respect and support.
At SwedishAmerican, we also take great pride in the progress we have made in
providing our region with the best healthcare.
This report provides you with an opportunity to look inside our organization and
witness the magnitude of our efforts, as well as our focus on continous improvement.
Reaching new heights means to go above and beyond in exceeding the expectations of
those we serve.
Real patient satisfaction wouldn’t be possible without compassionate human
interaction, and that’s where SwedishAmerican makes a difference. What sets us apart is
our dedication to excellence, compassionate service and caring for our community, which is
part of the fabric and culture at SwedishAmerican—it is true to our history and traditions.
It is our promise to you, and to the many who place their trust in us every day.

Improving
QuAlity ANd tecHNology
At SwedishAmerican, our focus on quality is continuous.
The health system has successfully maintained its long-time status as a
recognized leader in the implementation, measurement and improvement
of healthcare quality initiatives. Over the past two years, the organization has
leveraged new technologies and clinical practices with one ultimate objective
in mind: superior clinical outcomes.
Neurosurgeon Dr. Todd Alexander performed the area’s first
cervical disc replacement at SwedishAmerican Hospital.

cervical disc Replacement
The most common surgery for treating
cervical degenerative disc disease—a leading
cause of neck and arm pain—is an anterior
cervical disectomy and fusion. More than
200,000 cervical procedures are performed
each year to relieve compression on the
spinal cord or nerve roots and to implant an
inter-body graft and metal plate to rigidly
fuse the vertebrae together.
In September of 2007, a pioneering procedure
for patients with this condition became available
when Neurosurgeon Dr. Todd Alexander
performed the area’s first cervical disc
replacement at SwedishAmerican Hospital.
The procedure involved the Prestige
Cervical Disc, which is the first of its kind
for the treatment of cervical degenerative
disc disease. It is designed to maintain
motion and flexibility while replacing a
diseased disc that is removed from a
patient’s cervical spine.
Bedside Medication Verification
In 2007 SwedishAmerican was the first
healthcare system in the region to automate
medication delivery with barcode technology.
This new process, called Bedside Medication
Verification (BMV), enhances clinical
operations and reduces the potential for
medication errors.
BMV requires the use of a scanner, similar
to those used at leading retailers. In order to
prevent errors before they occur, point-ofcare
bar code scanning allows for critical
checking of the “five rights” of medication
administration: right patient, right drug, right
dose, right route of administration and right
time. It also allows for real-time documentation
of medication administration, providing
immediate online data for clinical care, and
accomplishes accurate billing based on what
was administered to the patient.
The Emergency Department went live with
BMV in December 2006, followed by the
Center for Mental Health in February 2007.
BMV was implemented hospital-wide later
that year.

Radiologist Dr. Mark Traill, SwedishAmerican
Hospital Medical Imaging
MRi Breast Biopsy
In 2008 SwedishAmerican introduced the
latest tool in the fight against breast cancer
and became the first hospital in Rockford to
use MRI-guided breast biopsy technology.
The new tool helps high-risk patients and
patients for whom mammogram- or
ultrasound-guided biopsy was previously
not an option.
An MRI-guided biopsy can find the smallest
breast abnormality at the earliest possible
stage of development. Candidates for breast
MRI include women who have already been
diagnosed with breast cancer and some
women who are considered high risk for the
disease. Candidates for MRI-guided breast
biopsy are those patients who have a lesion
detected by breast MRI that is not seen by a
mammogram or ultrasound. Performed at
the hospital by a specially trained radiologist,
this outpatient procedure takes less than an
hour and requires only a local anesthetic.
SwedishAmerican Center For Women
Nurse Practitioner Lisa Larson
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was another
breakthrough procedure performed at
SwedishAmerican Hospital in 2007. The
promising treatment eliminates tumor cells
using heat, and is much less invasive than
open surgery. Radiologist Dr. Marc Bernstein
performed RFA, which usually causes little
discomfort and is done as either an outpatient
procedure or an overnight hospital stay, on a
patient from SwedishAmerican’s Lung
Cancer Center.
RFA is a useful alternative treatment for
patients with small, early-stage lung cancer
who wish to avoid, or are too ill to undergo,
conventional surgery. It is not intended to
replace surgery, radiation or chemotherapy
in all patients, and may be effective when
used alone or in conjunction with these
treatments. RFA also may be used to “de-bulk”
a lung tumor that is too large to remove
surgically. In this way, the tumor is reduced
in size so that the remaining tumor cells are
more easily eliminated by chemotherapy or
radiation therapy.

Dr. Timothy Durkee and Dr. Earle Pescatore are affiliated
with Rock Valley Women’s Health Center.
laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Each year, an estimated 600,000 women undergo hysterectomies in the United States, making
hysterectomy the second-most-common surgery for women. The majority of these surgeries
are performed using the traditional open-abdominal method, which typically involves a long
and painful recovery.
In September 2007, gynecologists Dr. Timothy Durkee and Dr. Earle Pescatore were the first
in the Rockford area to perform Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomies (LSH).
This new, minimally-invasive procedure can transform the hysterectomy experience for most
women. LSH causes less stress to the body, and was developed to reduce pain, minimize
scarring and shorten recovery time.
the procedure can be done on an outpatient basis, which means a woman can
be home resting comfortably within 24 hours and back to her normal activities
in less than a week.

Delivering
cliNicAl ANd SeRVice excelleNce
At SwedishAmerican, the pursuit of excellence is exemplified in many ways,
from national recognition to investments in a modern physical infrastructure
that improves efficiency, facilitates communication, enables better processes
and promotes patient safety. Excellence also is exemplified by the nearly 3,000
dedicated employees and more than 500 physicians who share in the health
system’s mission of providing compassionate care to our community.

SwedishAmerican Medical Group Cardiothoracic
Surgeon Dr. John Myers.
cardiac Surgical excellence
SwedishAmerican has a long tradition of
excellence in cardiac services. This tradition
continued in October 2008, when the health
system received the 2009 Cardiac Surgery
Excellence Award from HealthGrades—the
nation’s leading independent ratings company.
The largest of its kind, HealthGrades’ study
analyzed patient outcomes at virtually all of the
nation’s 5,000 hospitals over the years 2005,
2006 and 2007. For the second consecutive year,
SwedishAmerican Hospital was among the top
5 percent in the nation for cardiac surgery.
National recognition also was received in
December 2007, when the Society of Thoracic
Surgeons ranked SwedishAmerican in the
highest category of hospitals nationally for
quality of cardiac surgery. Only 15 percent
of hospitals received this rating.
At SwedishAmerican, national recognition
of cardiac excellence is a result of physicians,
nurses, technicians, therapists and our
entire cardiac staff committing to the health
system’s quality goals and mission.
New Pharmacy
SwedishAmerican Hospital’s Pharmacy
Department relocated to a new, state-of-theart
space in June 2007. The 4,800-square-foot
area accommodates the latest pharmacy
technology and was designed to further
promote patient safety and operational efficiency.
Located on the first floor of the hospital, the
new pharmacy has a modular design and
expanded areas to repackage all medications
with a bar code to support the hospital’s
bedside medication verification project. While
more than 70 percent of medications already
include bar codes from drug manufacturers,
SwedishAmerican repackages and barcodes
more than 100,000 doses of medications
each month.
The pharmacy also has three mobile isolation
chambers to compound and prepare medications
in a sterile environment. The units can be used
almost anywhere in the hospital in the event
of a disaster or other situation.

New laboratory
In February 2008, SwedishAmerican unveiled a new, 16,000-square-foot laboratory on the first
floor of the hospital. Renovation and construction for the $6 million project began in 2006.
The previous 10,000-square-foot laboratory had services located in three different areas. By
consolidating services into one area, the lab was able to improve all of its processes, as well
as communication between different departments such as the Blood Bank, Central
Processing, Chemistry, Customer Service, Cytology, Hematology, Histology, Microbiology
and Pathology.
the laboratory at SwedishAmerican conducts nearly 3 million tests a year.
Stroke center
According to the American Stroke Association, each year approximately 700,000 people
suffer a stroke. Among stroke survivors, 21 percent of men and 24 percent of women die
within a year.
In 2008 SwedishAmerican earned Primary Stroke Center Certification from The Joint
Commission, the nation’s predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in healthcare,
in recognition of our organization’s efforts to foster better outcomes for stroke care.
In addition, our health system is participating in the American Stroke Association’s Get
With The Guidelines–Stroke program, which seeks to improve acute stroke treatment and
prevent future strokes and cardiovascular events.
SwedishAmerican has developed a comprehensive system for providing rapid diagnosis and
treatment of stroke when patients are admitted to the emergency department. This includes
providing around-the-clock access to brain-imaging scans, making neurologists available to conduct
patient evaluations and using clot-bursting medications when appropriate.

New Specialists
Building on its strong base of primary care physicians, SwedishAmerican has significantly
expanded the number of employed specialists. The addition of two new medical oncologists
in 2007 strengthened the SwedishAmerican Regional Cancer Center and allowed further
expansion within the communities of Rochelle and Dixon. That year, the health system also
welcomed two orthopedic surgeons to its staff.
SwedishAmerican’s focus on specialty care continued throughout 2008, with the addition of
specialists in cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, endocrinology, neurology/stroke care,
neurosurgery, otolaryngology, podiatry and rheumatology.

Investing
iN ouR PeoPle
enhancing a Strong employee Foundation
As an “Employer of Choice” in our region, SwedishAmerican has created a
respectful work environment where employees have pride in their contribution
and recognize their value to our organization. Ultimately, we realize excellent
patient care is provided by highly valued, satisfied employees who feel empowered
to make a difference. We believe our people create a strong foundation for all
that we do.

lifestyle Programs
SwedishAmerican continues to see an impressive increase in the use of its concierge program,
which helps employees accomplish some of their “to-dos.” Provided at no cost to the employee,
apart from the retail cost of services and mileage, the program includes everything from
jewelry and watch repair to making reservations at restaurants and registering for special
events. Each year, approximately 5,400 service appointments are made through the
concierge program.
In addition to the concierge, the hospital offers numerous on-site services to help employees
bring balance back to their lives, including on-site wellness exams, an employee health clinic with a
nurse practitioner, an online wellness nutrition program and free on-site massage therapy.
SwedishAmerican provides massage
therapy to more than 240 employees
each week at 30 different sites.

Workforce enrichment
Our organization goes to great lengths to create a
unique environment and make SwedishAmerican
the “Employer of Choice.” Our workforce and
employee enrichment activities set a tone and
create an environment of appreciation for our
employees. These include a range of seemingly
small things that are highly valued by staff, from
free holiday meals, anniversary and birthday
cards with $10 gift cards to providing 40
employees’ children with $1,000 scholarships,
and an adoption assistance program that has
helped five employees’ families adopt children
over the two-year period.
A family values approach to our workforce
enrichment means that we offer programs that
help our employees when they need it most.
Through our home buying assistance program,
23 homes have been purchased by employees
with assistance from the SwedishAmerican
Medical Foundation to aid in improving the
neighborhoods surrounding the hospital campus.
SwedishAmerican also recognizes that staff may
experience hardships that require emergency
financial assistance. Over the past two years,
our Employee Hardship Fund provided more
than $47,000 to 105 staff for unexpected
expenses as a result of job loss, illness, death
or other circumstances beyond their control.
In addition, we’ve invested $691,000 in tuition
reimbursement to further our employees’
education and provided $22,000 to 10 employees,
who used our annual leave donation program
because of loss of income due to a serious
illness or injury of an immediate family member
and who have exhausted all other paid leave.
SwedishAmerican also utilizes employee events
to recognize its employees for jobs well done.
We offer seasonal family events to thank and
encourage great work. Other favorite events are
the employee service award banquet, employee
Easter egg hunt and holiday party. Collectively,
SwedishAmerican invests more than $460,000
in these employee recognition events.
compensation and
Benefit improvements
Our system-wide employee opinion survey is
used to monitor employees’ views and concerns.
From this, we create action plans to help guide
positive changes. Over the past two years,
SwedishAmerican has invested nearly $16
million in compensation and benefit changes to
place us in a more competitive position locally,
regionally and nationally. Over the next fiscal
year, SwedishAmerican also has committed
nearly $4.3 million in merit pay increases,
compensation enhancements, market
adjustments and benefits improvements.

the Ryan Jury child development and learning center:
An engaging environment for employees’ children.
SwedishAmerican helps support the needs of its working families in many stages of their
children’s lives. In fact, more than 500 hospital employees have children who are age 12 and
younger. That is why the health system invested $5.8 million in the construction of a new
state-of-the-art, 16,287-square-foot child development and learning center that offers
affordable, accessible and on-site childcare services. The center provides a stimulating
child-centered, active learning environment that promotes emotional, physical and cognitive
development. Having a convenient place for our employees’ children during working hours
will help our staff members focus on their patients, knowing their children are near and secure.
Located adjacent to the main hospital, the center is a tribute to the Jury family and their
courageous son Ryan, who died of cancer at the age of 23 months. Over the past 22 years,
more than $615,000 has been raised through the annual Ryan Jury Memorial Golf Outing
and Dinner. Funding for the Jury Center began with an initial donation of $542,500 from the
Ryan Jury Memorial Fund, which is a prime example of the Jury family’s long-time commitment
to and support of SwedishAmerican.
The Jury Center also represents the dedication of our health system to the families of our
employees. Ryan’s memory will live on for decades to come, not only in this facility, but in
the dedication of those who care for children.

SwedishAmerican has enjoyed many proud traditions. At the center of them
all is serving our community. Every day, whether we are escorting patients and
visitors to their destination, sponsoring support groups for heart patients and
their families or providing quality healthcare to those who cannot afford it,
SwedishAmerican strives to make life better for those we serve.

People Helping People
Beyond large-scale, organization-led initiatives,
our employees independently devote extensive
amounts of time and resources to a large
number of programs, services and activities
throughout northern Illinois. In the last two
years, SwedishAmerican’s employees have
provided nearly 62,000 hours of service to
the community. The total labor and material
donated during this same time period was
more than $3 million.
Over the past two years, SwedishAmerican
staff reached hundreds of students, grades
K-12, with programs and services related to
health promotion and education, career
exploration and volunteer service opportunities.
SwedishAmerican continues to participate
in the citywide Healthcare Career Fair,
introducing more than 13 occupations to
regional high school students; annually
contributes money to ensure that all third
graders at Jackson School are provided
with dictionaries; and supports Jackson
Elementary and Lincoln Middle Schools
with tutoring, classroom supplies and
volunteers for Junior Achievement, as well
as donations for school renovation projects.
These efforts have impacted the students
academically and helped to remove Jackson
School from Illinois’ academic watch list.
Meeting community Need
SwedishAmerican cares for an increasing
number of people living below the poverty
line. Similarly, we are serving a population
that continues to age—and with older
patients come more chronic conditions and
multiple health problems.
As we have strengthened our commitment to
help the entire population receive the important
medical services they need, our total cost of
charity care has increased annually. While our
expenses for Medicare and Medicaid patients
exceed the current level of reimbursement
provided by federal and state governments,
we have continued to absorb the remaining
cost of providing care. Over the last three
years, SwedishAmerican Health System
provided $78 million in community benefits.

community collaboration
SwedishAmerican has worked with other
community organizations, public agencies
and community leaders to improve the
quality of life in the Rock River Valley. We
continue to be collaborative partners with
the Rockford Health Council Inc., Black
Health Care Initiative Coalition and Crusader
Clinic to assure access, eliminate existing
health disparities and improve the health of
the region’s underserved populations in
Boone, Ogle and Winnebago Counties.
Looking to the future, SwedishAmerican is
working to ensure that communities in the
region have enough well-trained physicians,
nurses and other health professionals. We
are the sole sponsor of the University of
Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford’s
Family Practice Residency program, to which
we contribute more than $4 million annually.
In response to the hundreds of students who
cannot get into nursing programs due to a
lack of instructors, we are working with
local and regional colleges and universities
to improve the situation through the
contributions of our professional staff.
In the summer of 2006, the SwedishAmerican
Medical Foundation purchased a foreclosed
house a block south of the hospital and
made it available to East High School’s
construction class for work during the
2006-2007 school years. Students received
academic credit while working several days
a month rehabbing the entire house, in
conjunction with the Foundation’s efforts to
revitalize the neighborhood surrounding
SwedishAmerican Hospital.
During the past five years, the Foundation
has cleared land and sponsored the
construction of 29 new, owner-occupied
homes in the area (in partnership with
Habitat for Humanity); purchased and
provided land for the City of Rockford to
construct three additional owner-occupied
homes; constructed a neighborhood park
and playground; constructed more than 15
new garages for home owners; made more
than 60 matching grants to home owners
for exterior repairs and remodeling; and
purchased and rehabbed 17 homes for
resale to SwedishAmerican employees, local
fire fighters and police officers and public
school teachers.
Pictured is one of 29 homes that the SwedishAmerican
Medical Foundation sponsored in its neighborhood
homeownership program.

Access to care
With physicians seeing patients in 15 clinic
locations throughout northern Illinois,
SwedishAmerican Medical Group–the region’s
largest primary care medical group–cares for
almost 400,000 patients annually. Our Home
Health Care staff visit 30,000 patients a year
throughout 11 counties in northern Illinois.
In January 2007, SwedishAmerican Health
System opened a Multidisciplinary Lung
Cancer Center (MLCC). The MLCC is a
group of specialists brought together to
evaluate patients with known or suspected
lung tumors in a timely and coordinated
manner. SwedishAmerican is the region’s
first hospital to develop this type of service
for lung cancer.
In April 2007, the Center For Women
added a second advanced practice nurse to
accommodate growing demand for their
comprehensive range of health services. That
October, a grand opening was held for the
center’s outpatient services on the second
and third floors of the Renaissance Pavilion.
In June 2007, SwedishAmerican Medical
Group/Davis Junction opened an expanded
4,500-square-foot clinic at the intersection of

Illinois 251 and Illinois 72 in Davis Junction.
The clinic includes nine exam rooms, a
procedure room, as well as laboratory and
X-ray services.
In November 2007, the SwedishAmerican
Wellness and Therapy Center opened at the
YMCA of Rock River Valley’s Northeast
Branch. SwedishAmerican physical therapy
staff provide physical therapy and consultation
services, as well as injury screening, all
within the beautiful setting of the YMCA’s
new state-of-the-art fitness facility.
In July 2008, SwedishAmerican’s Center for
Mental Health began a partnership with
Associates in Counseling to provide psychiatric
services at their clinic in Sycamore. A
SwedishAmerican psychiatrist is now
seeing patients there each week.

SwedishAmerican Medical center/Belvidere
SwedishAmerican Health System has been looking at ways to better meet community
needs in Boone County for several years. The University of Illinois College of Medicine at
Rockford’s 2006 community health study helped us identify appropriate health services in
the greater Belvidere community.
In December of 2007, the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board approved our organization’s
plans to acquire Northwest Suburban Community Hospital in Belvidere. When construction
is completed in 2009, the SwedishAmerican Medical Center/Belvidere will restore emergency,
surgery, diagnostics and imaging services to the fastest growing area in our region, including
Belvidere, eastern Boone County and the expanding areas of western McHenry and
northern DeKalb Counties.
“obtaining the license for Northwest Suburban community Hospital is a very
big deal for SwedishAmerican, and from the many positive comments we have
received, it’s a big deal for the community of Belvidere. this positions us well
to provide much needed medical and emergency services to this growing part
of the region.”
-SwedishAmerican Health System President and ceo dr. Bill gorski

SwedishAmerican Medical Museum and Heritage center
A museum and heritage center highlighting SwedishAmerican’s culture and history of
medicine is slated to open as part of the health system’s centennial celebration in 2011.
Through the leadership of SwedishAmerican Medical Foundation Executive Vice
President John Mecklenburg (above right) and retired physician and SwedishAmerican
Vice President of Medical Affairs Henry Anderson, MD (above left), floor plans are being
completed, artifacts are being collected, policies are being developed and private
donations are being raised.
The museum and heritage center will be located on the first floor of the 10-story patient
tower, adjacent to the healing garden. With its key location, it will serve as a focal point
to link and interpret SwedishAmerican’s past, present and future.
“this is history that we believe shouldn’t be lost. if we don’t tell our story now,
it’s going to be lost to the next generation.”
– John Mecklenburg

Remembering.
Robert A. Henry, MD
On May 26, 2008, at the age of 83, SwedishAmerican lost an inspirational leader
with the passing of Dr. Robert Henry. Bob served SwedishAmerican for more than
25 years. His impact and influence is still felt across the entire health system.
Bob came to Rockford in 1965 from Lansing, Michigan to develop a new
psychiatric service. He was named the department medical director in 1968. In
1973, Bob was named vice president for medical affairs for SwedishAmerican
Hospital. From 1977-89, he served as president and CEO of SwedishAmerican
Health System.
Many CEOs are remembered for the buildings and programs that are developed during their tenure.
And of course, Bob oversaw many of those types of developments from the growth and expansion of the
hospital into a multi-site health system, to major investments in outpatient services.
But Bob more likely is remembered for the growth and development of people. He was always
looking for and encouraging ways to inspire and unlock the talents in people. Many SwedishAmerican
staff fondly recall his teaching right brain/left brain thinking, and pursuing excellence.
Bob helped recruit many members to the SwedishAmerican medical staff. Today those doctors are
recognized among the leading physicians in the community. He also recruited many key nurses,
professional staff and administrators who are current leaders of the organization.
Bob was active both locally and nationally, serving terms as president of more than a dozen boards.
Bob was a true visionary and will be remembered by those who knew and worked with him.
Arthur W. Anderson
In July of 2007, SwedishAmerican bid farewell to Art Anderson, who was a
valued member of the SwedishAmerican board from 1980 to 2002.
Born in Rockford on June 14, 1922, Art was a civic leader devoted to charitable
causes and community service. Affectionately known as “Mr. Loves Park,” Art owned
and operated the A.W. Anderson Agency Inc. in that city for more than 50 years.
A board member for 22 years, Art served as SwedishAmerican’s board chairman
from 1989 to 1991. Art exemplified the spirit, dedication and commitment that
has characterized our board for decades. He cared deeply about SwedishAmerican.
He cared not only about our success as an institution, but he was a leader in holding us all accountable to
live up to our mission of serving those who place their trust in us.
Lawrence E. Gloyd
Larry Gloyd, SwedishAmerican board member from 1983 through 2005 and
board chairman from 1994 to 1996, passed away September 6, 2008 following a
lengthy illness. Larry was 75.
A native of Indiana, Larry came to Rockford in 1961 as a territory salesman for
Amerock Corp. He rose through their ranks, eventually becoming president and
general manager of Amerock in 1981. Larry joined J.L. Clark Manufacturing in
1986 as president and chief operating officer and later served as president, CEO
and board chair of CLARCOR.
Larry led numerous local and national economic organizations and community charities, providing
wise administrative and fund-raising expertise. He and his family have contributed generously to
hundreds of local efforts, which have made an enormous and positive impact on the greater Rockford
community. Larry was a strong and vocal advocate of SwedishAmerican and its work in quality and
continuous improvement.

System performance is a driving force behind
customer preference, utilization and growth.
