As it has been said by so many people in these past few months…we are living in unprecedented times. As COVID-19 gripped the world, people turned to the wisdom and expertise of our healthcare providers to guide us through this global pandemic. In our province this has meant that a great deal of support has been rightly laid at the feet of our friends at the Prince County . This support has taken many forms. From gifts of food and product to the outpouring of sentiments online, we know our health care team has felt incredibly appreciated through these past few months. When the Foundation was presented with a short list of equipment for patient care through this pandemic, we knew we could count on community to support in this way, if they were able. We are pleased to say that the PCH COVID-19 Urgent Needs project was successful in funding such items as a glidescope for ICU, thermometers, and feeding pumps in its first phase. We are grateful that in such a novel time we were able to count on you, our caring communities, to support a “one off” project above and beyond our traditional spring Vital Signs appeal.

In this document we have combined a recap of 2019 that serves as the “Annual Report to Our Community” in addition to our spring newsletter. Many Foundation activities and events are being reviewed and either postponed or canceled in the early stages of 2020, not the least of which was our annual meeting. Plans for that meeting are being made in hopes that it can happen soon, in some format. You will also find enclosed some highlights for the 2020 Vital Signs appeal. Though the world is on pause in many ways, the greatest needs for patients at PCH must move forward. We know that in these uncertain times not everyone is in a position to donate as they would like. We hope that, if you are able, you will respond to these greatest needs with a donation within your means. Every dollar truly counts this year and every year. We wish you health and well-being as we all move forward in our efforts to support and “Getting Better Together.”

As we embark in these uncertain times, I reflect on you, our donors. I want to acknowledge the impact of your giving and how it enables Prince County Hospital to thrive and adapt in an ever- changing environment. This held true as we worked together in 2019 to purchase the necessary equipment such as Smart Infusion Pumps, Cardiac Monitoring System, Chemistry Analyzer and Fetal Monitor Transducers. Our appreciation and thanks go out to all those who contributed in any way. No one could have predicted that 2020 would find us in a world- wide pandemic. Our administration, staff and physicians at Prince County Hospital have worked tirelessly to prepare for patients with COVID-19 and we feel we are ready. The ongoing threat of COVID-19 to the community has posed many challenges and added stress to our way of life. It takes a great deal of preparation to ensure we have what is required to receive and treat these patients. In the midst of our preparations, I was amazed at the extraordinary support from the community and across PEI. We the staff, physicians, volunteers and patients are inspired by your generosity and humbled by your ongoing support. We look forward to continuing to work together to support safe, quality healthcare amidst the challenges of a pandemic. In closing, I ask you to stay safe, be kind to yourself and one other, as we look ahead to brighter days. Respectfully submitted, Arlene Gallant-Bernard, R.N., B.Sc.N., M.A.E.D., C.H.E. Thanks to previous donations, PCH was able to purchase a GeneXpert! This instrument was funded in 2019, long before any of us were thinking about pandemics. It has been a welcome addiction to the arsenal in our Laboratory as it has given them the ability to perform COVID-19 testing. PCH Lab Manager Sharlene Fennel said in April, “We will be performing inpatient testing which will give the physician tests results within 60 minutes. This will also help conserve Personal Protective Equipment by taking patients with negative tests off isolation precautions within an hour instead of waiting for results to return from the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg. Healthcare workers providing a critical service could also be tested here at PCH. The short turn around time will allow staff to return to work sooner provided their test is negative. Long Term Care residents will also benefit from this service providing earlier detection and management of resident care.” This piece, displayed by Lab Technologist Chantal Gosselin and Lab Supervisor Chris Campbell, can assist in the testing of COVID-19 cases at PCH.

As part of the 2020 Vital Signs Appeal (detailed on page 13) you will be funding the replacement of EVERY thermometer at PCH. This roll out began in early spring with the addition of 85 new thermometers that went out to various departments (pictured right). Though thermometers may seem to be a simple item at the surface level, they are absolutely essential to patient care at PCH. In Mid-March the PCH Foundation office went dark, but we found a way to stay in touch virtually as best we could. Work continued to keep the public updated on social media and work continued in preparation for the spring launch of the Vital Sings appeal for 2020. For the first couple of weeks of this global pandemic, PCH was flooded with love from the community. We asked people who may be home with their children to send in photos and art that their kids had produced to celebrate our Healthcare Heroes. Of the 50 or so images that were sent in, we have a few samples on the right. Over the past few months, staff have been inundated with kindness as businesses and community members sought to show PCH how much they care. From meals to hand cream, many items were donated to an appreciative staff. “People were looking for ways they could help…ways they could contribute,” said PCH Foundation’s Managing Director, Heather Matheson. “The healthcare team at PCH informed the Foundation of a vital way in which the public could assist in preparing PCH during the pandemic. There was an urgent need for specific pieces of medical equipment deemed essential in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. The Foundation responded to this by launching a short-term appeal that raised $64,500 and provided essential items like a glidescope to help with intubating patients as well as several other important pieces.

Internal Medicine Physicians Dr. Michael Irvine and Dr. Nicole Drost display the glidescope from Emergency Dept. used to train Intensive Care staff in preparation for potential COVID-19 patients.

A number of our most loyal donors make their gifts in memory of family members and friends who have passed away. In many cases, we are their charity of choice and donors make their memorial gift knowing that their donation can do a bit of good during such a sad time. Families of loved ones lost are comforted in knowing this and they receive a card each time a donation is made. No gift amount is included, of course, but they are content to know that those donations are used to support the purchase of medical equipment. Memorial giving may be a donation option that appeals to you. Prince County Hospital cares for thousands of Islanders each year and every donation makes a difference. If you are interested in making a gift in memory of a friend or loved one, simply call (902) 432-2547 or give securely online at pchcare.com The PCH Foundation received gifts in memory of the following people in 2019.

Bob and Shirley Matheson The Dr. Tom Moore Award is awarded annually to Prince County Hospital employees or Neil and Heather Matheson physicians who display characteristics of dedication and achievement in their area of work. Brian and Mary Jane McFeely Darrell McFeely This prestigious award was named after its first recipient in 1991, Dr. Tom Moore, who was such a positive and powerful role model at PCH for over 30 years. Leading up to March, our friends at the PCH Auxiliary had been working to revamp the Wishing Well Gift Shop in the lobby at PCH. With the assistance of the PCH Maintenance Department and in consultation with the Foundation office, they have transformed the shop into a brighter space with a new look and an array of new gift items. In this photo, some of their members had their first look at the renovations, including a beautiful new sales desk built for them by the team in Maintenance. In recent weeks, the Auxiliary has reopened the shop to regular hours of Monday-Friday 10 AM - 4 PM. From left: Georgene Enman, Donna McCarthy, Dixie Grady, Thelma Phillips, Maggie Arsenault, and Marnie Noye. Thank you to the Youth Who Care group who had to end their year earlier than planned once schools were shut down. The youth group will be back on track when schools resume and will be looking for new members. These high school students are a shadow board to the Foundation’s own volunteer board of directors. Their president attends our monthly meetings to report on the groups activities in fundraising and goodwill. If you know of a student in grade 10-12 who may benefit from joining, please ask them to contact Heather Matheson at 2019/20 members were given a department tour by Maternal Child Care Nurse Manager Andrea Wile .

The Foundation has received legacy donations through gifts in wills, transfer of existing life insurance policies, and through stock gifts. When you leave a legacy to the PCH Foundation, your gift is endowed, meaning the principal amount will remain intact and will be prudently invested. Only the revenues generated by this gift are allocated to the purposes established by the Foundation Board of Directors, such as the annual equipment fund. These endowed gifts from 2019 are featured on our Legacy of Giving Donor Wall.

Gifts in Wills What we normally refer to as a “gift in your will,” this is the most popular choice in estate planning. After you have taken care of your loved ones, you can choose to leave a percentage of your estate or a lump sum as a lasting legacy to your hospital and your community. Donate Stock/Shares A gift of securities can be made today as a part of your will. By choosing this option, you can eliminate the capital gains tax that would be payable if the securities were sold outright and receive a charitable tax receipt. Life Insurance Policies Name PCH Foundation as the owner and beneficiary of an existing or new life insurance policy. Depending on how your policy is structured, you may realize tax benefits now or in the future. Endowed Gifts The purpose of the endowment fund is to provide ongoing support to PCH Foundation. Endowments are prudently invested. By choosing to endow your gift, the principal donation stays intact and only the interest from investment is used to benefit PCH. Gifts of $5,000 or more are a recognized on the Foundation’s lupin adorned “Legacy of Giving” donor wall in the central corridor at PCH. Recognition Gifts that are not endowed are used immediately to purchase hospital needs and are recognized on the “Donor Wall of Honour” in the lobby of the PCH. More on Leaving a Legacy at pchcare.com/legacy-of-caring or call Heather Matheson at (902) 432-2843 Fred and Flo Hiscock did not start their journey in Summerside but, they have spent forty-five years of their lives making it their home. The couple first came to town via the Air Force in 1967, as many had before them. They stayed for about a decade, raising their two sons before a transfer would take them across the country to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan where they lived and worked for 8 years. A final transfer would bring them back to PEI…back home. And it’s here they’ve stayed since that time. Over the past thirty-five years the Hiscocks have met many great friends and have ingrained themselves into their community as curlers, golfers and volunteers. In fact, many people may recall Flo as a long-time volunteer in the Wishing Well Gift Shop at PCH. Recently, Fred and Flo found themselves looking for a way to thank their community. A way they could give back while also creating a lasting family legacy in the province they love so much. When Flo heard about the Legacy Giving program at PCH Foundation, she saw this as an opportunity for them to make a difference. When you make a Legacy Gift to the PCH Foundation, your gift is endowed, meaning the principle amount of your donation remains untouched while the interest gained from its prudent investment may be used to ensure your hospital remains well-equipped now and into the future. Legacy gifts over $5,000 like the Hiscocks’ are recognized on the Legacy of Giving Donor Wall – a mural of generosity. Like the lupins that adorn this mural, the seeds you sow today will continue to grow and bloom for many years to come and for many generations to enjoy. “We can’t think of a better way of doing it,” said Flo in an interview this past winter. “By doing it now we can see (the impact) and enjoy the hospital and see the benefits (of our donations).” Fred added, “This makes a lasting effect for the hospital.” Flo continues, “I think the hospital is the most important thing in the community.” Leaving a Legacy is as simple as considering the causes that are important to you and making the necessary arrangements now to support them in the future. If you would consider joining Flo and Fred by leaving a lasting legacy for the benefit of future generations, please contact Heather Matheson at (902) 432-2834.

“He has a bit of a cough,” the daycare workers said to Melissa Bagnall when she picked up her 18 month old son, Adrien. After a restless night, the cough appeared worse and Adrien did not seem like himself. Melissa called the office of her family physician, Dr. Sharpe, for an appointment; they fit them in that afternoon. After seeing how hard Adrien was working to breathe, they were sent to the Maternal Child Care Unit (MCCU) at Prince County Hospital for a consult with Dr. David Wong. When they arrived at the hospital, they were met by Adrien’s father, Glenn. When patients arrive at the hospital unit to see the doctor, pediatric nurses must demonstrate a calm skill-set as they assess, prioritize and manage patients until a doctor arrives. Jaime Richard and Erica Waite were the RNs on duty in MCCU that day. They quickly realized how sick Adrien was and contacted Dr. Wong. A portable chest x-ray revealed that his upper airways were very swollen and becoming so tight that he was using all of the muscles in his chest and belly to suck in each breath. Bloodwork showed that his little lungs were beginning to shut down because he was not able to breathe effectively. The usual mask treatments of ventolin and pulmicort seemed to do nothing to open his airways and his condition was worsening. Nothing seemed to help until Dr. Wong, along with respiratory therapists Abdul Rahman and Kendra Harper, thought of giving him epinephrine masks. Adrien was connected to a monitor to keep track of his oxygen levels and heart rate, an IV pump to deliver steroids in to the bloodstream for the inflammation and a positive pressure oxygen device called an “Optiflow” to help him to breathe. For the first two days he had a dedicated nurse around the clock. They tested for RSV and other viruses but none came back positive. Dr. Wong determined that it was croup and asthma. Altogether, Adrien was in hospital for five days, receiving further mask treatments every hour first with epinephrine and then later with ventolin and pulmicort. The story ended happily, as Adrien was discharged with continued mask treatments as well as oral steroids. While he experienced bouts of croup periodically for several years after, none were as severe as that first episode. Today, he is an active seven-year-old who loves to play hockey. Melissa and Glenn still get emotional thinking about how quickly he got sick and what might have happened if everyone at the hospital hadn’t acted so swiftly to treat him. “We are so blessed to have the dedicated staff and facilities that we Melissa Bagnall, Adrien and Glenn Steele have in Summerside. They saved our son’s life and we are so grateful.” In mid-March we were preparing to launch our Sterrad Machine with Intubation - Endo $58,400.00 annual spring Vital Signs mail appeal.
