Natalie Winegar [email protected] Greetings! I hope this issue of Advancement finds you well. Inside, you’ll read an update from Dr. Lucas on the hospital’s future expansion plans. The hospital has investments to make over the next few years and the Foundation will play a critical role in helping meet those needs. The Foundation has decided it’s time to follow through on our plans to secure a permanent Executive Director. We were waiting to launch a search until the hospital decided its direction. Now that it knows its plans—to stay independent and help integrate healthcare in Wyoming—it’s a good time for us to invest in our Message from the Foundation Chair Foundation the from Message Message from future and find a director who will be with us for years to come. Our search committee will work with an employment search Tom Stuckey firm to advertise the position nationally with a preference for Foundation Chair candidates with a Wyoming connection. With that said, I’d like to thank Ted Adams for the wonderful work he has done for us. He took on the interim position in May with the desire to help us out until we could get a permanent placement. He has done an outstanding job connecting with donors and developing relationships with doctors and others at the hospital. I’m so grateful that he was available and willing to join us. We’ll keep you posted in upcoming issues on the results of our search. In the meantime, Ted will continue to be available for help and support, so don’t hesitate to give him a call. I urge you all to plan on attending our upcoming Denim ‘N Diamonds celebration. It’s a great way to do good and have fun while enjoying friends and family. Carmalee Rose has graciously agreed to be the Chair of the Denim ‘N Diamonds committee, which is in the process of planning this year’s event. Thank you Carmalee!

Prostate Cancer

• Prostate cancer is related to age, family history, and male sex hormones, but just how diet and activity factors might affect risk is not clear. • In recent years, researchers have learned it may be important to distinguish between prostate cancers that are aggressive (likely to grow and spread quickly) and those that are less likely to cause problems. For example, some studies have found that men who are overweight may have a lower risk of prostate cancer overall, but a higher risk of prostate cancers that are likely to be fatal. Being overweight is also linked with a worse outlook in men who have been diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer. Gary and his seven-year-old granddaughter Lily • Studies have found that men who get regular physical share a moment of wonder as they examine an activity have a slightly lower risk of prostate cancer. exotic plant at the Botanic Gardens.
