Simms 2 2016 Annual Report • Miami Valley Hospital Foundation Miami Valley Hospital Foundation: An Exceptional Year The recurring themes in our annual report for 2016 focus for Philanthropy and on the powerful impact of philanthropy on critical healthcare issues, and the profound and sustaining effect of volunteerism Volunteerism at Miami Valley Hospital. While the past year was one of great change, sadly, the opioid epidemic remains a major healthcare dilemma in our community. We are very proud that the hospital and the Foundation have stepped up to play an integral role in improving the lives of addicted moms and babies through the Promise to Hope program. Since the program’s inception, some 200 moms have been treated. We are grateful for the donors who have made this essential program a reality. In addition to Promise to Hope, there is exciting news about two other programs - the affiliation with the MD Anderson Cancer Network® and the Hospital Elder Life Program – both of which are making great strides in serving area patients. There are also updates on the Brethen Center and on Chris G. Pulos, Chair, efforts to help attract top-notch medical students to the area. Board of Trustees As noted above, the themes of generosity and commitment run throughout these pages. There is a profile of Dave and Janet Merrelli who have served Volunteer Services and the Foundation for more than a decade. And there’s Jeannette Spicer who is making life a little more enjoyable for young visitors to Abby’s Nook. One story illustrates the far-reaching impact of the employee giving campaign, the Mueller Society, and there’s a feature on an MVH executive who explains why she feels it is so important to give back through a Legacy gift. As always, we sincerely thank you for your support of Jenny M. Lewis patient programs and services through giving to the MVH President and CEO Foundation. We hope you enjoy reading the stories of the dynamic men and women who are sustaining the Margin of Excellence for patients and families through their commitment to improving health care throughout our community. 2016 Annual Report • Miami Valley Hospital Foundation 3 2016 Disbursements and Support Patient Benjamin Waker demonstrated the Ekso™ Robotic Skeleton at the Patient and Family Quality Care 2016 1890 Society Funding goes to patient programs, non- reception. reimbursable services and/or to direct clinical services. 2016 Support = $2,180,500 Clinical and Quality Improvement Annual Support, $406,500 Initiatives and Emerging Needs Supporting programs and capital investments that increase the hospital’s effectiveness and provide new capabilities in serving the needs of patients and the surrounding Other Contributions to Programs and Services $1,259,000 community.
