The Denver Health Foundation has been the fundraising arm for Denver Health and Hospital Authority since 1998. An independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Denver Health Foundation raises funds to support a variety of diverse programs at Denver Health. We maintain active partnerships with individual philanthropists, local and national foundations, corporations, and produce multiple, high-profile events throughout the year. In 2017, with generous contributions from our donors, we provided more than $8.1 million to assist Denver Health in the delivery of high-quality care and vital resources to Denver’s citizens. WHERE MEDICAL GREATNESS + HUMAN GOODNESS CONNECT DENVER HEALTH FOUNDATION | 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 2 2017 EMPLOYEE GIVING CAMPAIGN For its 7,110 employees, Denver Health is not just a great place to work; it is a place where great work is done in service to others. That’s why, in 2017, 1,809 dedicated employees pledged to give $451,682 of their personal resources to support vulnerable patients, low-income newborns, early childhood literacy, research and scholarships, and more. DENVER HEALTH FOUNDATION 2017 EVENTS On Saturday May 13, 2017, 1600 guests filled the Centennial Ballroom at the Hyatt Regency Denver to raise $1.4 million dollars for Denver Health. Sensational event co-chairs Steve Farber, David McReynolds and Dan Scherer provided the event leadership needed to ensure an extraordinary evening. Chuck Morris was honored for his tireless energy and endless contributions to the Denver Health Foundation. The award was presented by Todd Mohr from Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Governor John Hickenlooper, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Kenny Loggins, the evening’s entertainment, thrilled the audience with an outstanding performance. Contributions from the evening benefited the Denver Health Paramedics. We would like to give a heartfelt thank you to all who made the evening possible; our guests, sponsors, donors, and volunteers. WHERE MEDICAL GREATNESS + HUMAN GOODNESS CONNECT DENVER HEALTH FOUNDATION | 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 4 DENVER HEALTH FOUNDATION 2017 EVENTS, continued Thank you to the 1000 guests who joined us at the 9th Annual HOT ROCKS GRILLER CHALLENGE.

Our hard working co-chairs, Stephen B. Clark, Bruce Clark, Laura E. Clark and Monica Clark Petersen were nothing short of remarkable in their commitment and leadership of the event. Fifteen of Denver’s top chefs brought their A-games to support Denver Health Foundation and the Urology Services at Denver Health, long known as one of the preeminent Urology programs in the country. Under the leadership of Dr. Fernando Kim, it attracts patients from around the world with an innovative use of digital imaging and minimally invasive surgical approaches to prostate, kidney and bladder cancer. Because of donors like you, Dr. Kim will continue his award-winning research to advance diagnosis and targeted therapy for these diseases. SABIN SCHOLARSHIPS IN NURSING EDUCATION In November 2017, the Denver Health Foundation awarded the first Sabin Scholarships in Nursing Education to four amazing Denver Health Employees pursuing their BSN’s.

Each received $20,000 thanks to the generous donors who are supporting this important initiative. WHERE MEDICAL GREATNESS + HUMAN GOODNESS CONNECT DENVER HEALTH FOUNDATION | 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 5 COMPLETION OF THE CHILD & ADOLESCENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESEARCH ENDOWMENT In January 2017 many generous donors gathered at the Clyfford Still Museum to celebrate surpassing the $1.5 Million goal to complete the Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health Endowment. Donors mingled with grateful Foundation board members, staffers and Denver Health’s team of medical professionals who will oversee the new endowment. The completed endowment will fill a crucial gap in research on how to adequately treat mental health concerns in children, and since most behavioral health issues begin during childhood and adolescence, researching appropriate methods of treatment will make a world of difference in helping these children achieve stable and healthy lives before it’s too late. We thank all of the donors who have made this possible, including those who donated not only money, but countless hours and endless energy to ensure its completion, including Evi Makovsky, Bill Saslow and Kathy Klugman (left).

School groups and churches held donation drives in 2017 along with businesses and civic organizations. They collected baby shampoo, wipes, pajamas and sleep sacks, too.

  • 1 Baby Doe Tabor Is a Timeless Figure in Colorado History
    Baby Doe Tabor: Colorado’s Legend “When Baby Doe first saw the mountains, she had an inexplicable feeling that her destiny was bound up in those distant granite fortresses.” 1 Baby Doe Tabor is a timeless figure in Colorado history. Her story has been committed to film, opera, and literature time and again. Although there are many parts that are the same in the various renditions of her story. There are three critical parts that are all perceived differently across time; her life in Central City prior to meeting Horace Tabor, her relationship and life with Horace, and her long and lonely vigil at the Matchless Mine in Leadville, Colorado after Horace’s death. These three are perceived differently largely based upon the fact that the authors craft their language so as to present the reader with different perspectives on the event. 1 Gordon Langley Hall, The Two Lives of Baby Doe (Philadelphia: Macrae Smith Co., 1962), 69. 1 Because of continual retelling Baby Doe’s story remains an integral part of Colorado’s history. What is it about her that makes her such an important and timeless figure? Why are authors and historians so fascinated with her? Her story begins simply enough. Elizabeth Bonduel Nellis McCourt was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Her official birth date has never been agreed upon, as the official records were destroyed in a fire when she was a teenager. She was christened on October 7, 1854 when she was estimated to be about 12 days old.2 She first arrived in Colorado in 1877 on the arm of her new husband Harvey Doe; they settled themselves in Central City to work some mining claims belonging to Harvey Doe Senior.

They have always been present but have either been relegated to passive roles in their own stories or actively considered societal outcasts. They were dramatically stereotyped as either airheads or witches, mothers or daughters, love interests or foes to be conquered. And, along with the character stereotypes came typically associated vocal stereotypes.

  • Ever Young: Douglas Moore and the Persistence of Legend by David Kanzeg
    Ever Young: Douglas Moore and the Persistence of Legend by David Kanzeg As presented at ceremonies marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of Douglas Moore, Free Library, Cutchogue, Long Island, New York, August 14, 1993. David Kanzeg is a native of Cleveland, Ohio, with degrees from the College of Wooster ('70) and Syracuse University ('71). Mr. Kanzeg has been employed in radio and television for more than twenty-five years; including program manager of WNYC-FM, the nation's largest public radio station. His professional accomplishments include the production of nationally distributed radio programs and trouble-shooting for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Mr. Kanzeg is currently the Director of Programming for WCPN, Cleveland Public Radio. Having agreed to help mark such an auspicious occasion, I knew that I was in trouble when a friend wished me luck, and then went on to wonder what I had to do with some folks on Long Island who were having a centennial celebration for Dudley Moore. "Is he 100 already?" Another friend allowed that if they could persuade Kevin Costner to film Douglas Moore's opera The Ballad of Baby Doe maybe, then, they could call it Dances With Wives. Most of my friends, though, have no opinion at all. They know, along with most Americans, nothing about Douglas Moore, or the opera, or the story of the Tabors, on which the opera is based. I wish to speak, today, about all three. First...Moore. Born, Cutchogue, Long Island, August 10th, 1893. Died. Eastern Long Island Hospital in Greenport, Long Island, July 25th, 1969.
