| Program Services Accomplishments- Part I | Form 990, Part III, Q. 4A | PART III - STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE The Saint Elizabeth Foundation was incorporated as a 501(c)(3), tax exempt charitable foundation. Its purpose is to raise funds to promote care giving at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center, providing excellent, compassionate and spiritual care through programs within the health system and the community it serves. The Foundation's staff and Board of Trustees raise funds through special events, annual giving, major gifts, capital campaigns, planned gifts and grants. In 2007, the Foundation's public charity status was changed to 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi); this was modified after the passage of the Pension Protection Act of 2006(HR4). Saint Elizabeth meets the public support test required of a public charity. This allows the Foundation to receive rollover contributions and also to receive gifts from private foundations. EXEMPT PURPOSE ACHIEVEMENTS Introduction The mission of the Corporation and of Catholic Health Initiatives is to nurture the healing ministry of the Roman Catholic Church by bringing it new life, energy, and viability in the Twenty-First Century. Fidelity to the Gospel urges us to emphasize human dignity and social justice as it moves toward the creation of healthier communities. Catholic Health Initiatives, sponsored by a lay-religious partnership, calls other Catholic sponsors and systems to unite to ensure the future of Catholic health care. To fulfill this mission, Saint Elizabeth Foundation and Catholic Health Initiatives, as values-based organizations and in partnership with laity and others, will research and develop new ministries that integrate health, education, pastoral, and social services; promote leadership development throughout the entire organization; advocate for systemic changes with specific concern for persons who are poor, alienated, and underserved; and steward resources by general oversight of the entire organization. The purpose of Saint Elizabeth Foundation is to raise funds to promote care giving at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center, providing excellent, compassionate and spiritual care through programs within the Medical Center and the community it serves. To ensure gifts are administered in accordance with donors' intentions, the Saint Elizabeth Foundation establishes restricted accounts that assure funds are dedicated to the purpose for which they are given. During the last fiscal year the Foundation has raised $1,490,350 in contributions. At the same time it has disbursed $1,545,029 back into the community and the Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center. Capital for Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center Saint Elizabeth Foundation, with money from various donors, provided $594,627 for the purchase of capital/equipment for Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center, which was directly related to patient care. In addition to other equipment, birthing beds and regular hospital beds were purchased. Emergency & Hardship Charity Care Saint Elizabeth Foundation currently maintains a fund that provides assistance to patients after discharge. There were 247 patients and families served this fiscal year for a total of $54,004. Assistance is provided in areas of non-covered prescriptions, lodging, meals and travel needs. Patients must have no other means of support. Employee Emergency Fund The Foundation also maintains a fund designated strictly to emergency assistance for Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center associates. Assistance consists of helping with utilities, rent, food, transportation and medical needs for a qualifying associate. This year the fund was able to help 52 associates for a total of $37,193. Community Asthma Education Initiative The Community Asthma Education Initiative (CAEI), comprised of 50+ local agencies and institutions, was formed in 1998, in response to alarming statistics from the Center for Disease Control, showing high rates of asthma morbidity and mortality in the Midwest and Nebraska, in particular. The Foundation has assisted the CAEI in acquiring funding from Environmental Protection Agency, Lincoln/Lancaster County Health Department, Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, Community Pharmacy Foundation and the Porter Foundation. The Foundation assists the Director of Pulmonary Services and CAEI coordinator to see to it that objectives and funding guidelines are being met as required from each grantor. Funding of $44,966 helped educate and inform the community about asthma triggers and managing the disease. Susan G. Komen for the Cure-Nebraska - Time to Heal The goals and objectives for A Time to Heal at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center are: . Improve the quality of life for post-treatment breast cancer survivors as measured by surveys taken before and after the program. . Heighten the patients' knowledge about health-enhancing activities such as smart nutrition and supplementation, exercise, stress management, relaxation, journaling, and communication. . Encourage self-advocacy by introducing patients to survivorship issues; encouraging patients to listen to their bodies, and to communicate effectively with medical professionals. . Provide information through presentations, printed materials, web sites, and services that provide benefit and support to survivors. An additional Susan G. Komen for the Cure-Nebraska grant of $16,983.60 was secured in March 2011 to provide no-cost mammograms for lower-income and/or disadvantaged women in Lincoln/Lancaster County. Through June 30, 2011, 40 women have received no cost-mammograms. |
| Program Services Accomplishments- Part II | Form 990, Part III, Q. 4A | Neonatal Family Assistance Program Infants cared for in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit usually need a minimum of 23-weeks for the lungs to be mature enough for survival. Full-term gestation is 40-weeks. Most babies stay in the NICU until their original due date. Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center assists these parents who live outside of Lancaster County by allowing them to stay close to their newborn. This allows them to develop that important bond and nurturing relationship with their child rather than traveling back and forth between home and hospital. The Chase Suites located within walking distance from the hospital has offered a special rate to families of patients. In FY 2011 the Foundation helped 15 families maintain a close bonding relationship with their newest family member by providing assistance and lodging totaling $12,085. CHI Mission & Ministry Fund - Caring Communities This project is designed to expand and enhance Palliative Care services in six Catholic Health Initiatives hospitals, including Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center. Palliative Care programs are developed to improve the quality of life of patients with chronic, serious and/or life-threatening illnesses. Total grant funds awarded were $306,735 over three years (2009-2012). Saint Elizabeth Foundation administered and distributed these funds to ensure the program guidelines are achieved. Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center Car Seat Fitting Station Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center is a recognized leader in Perinatal Services. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among children in the United States. Educating parents/caregivers about proper installation and use are key components to improving correct usage rates, thereby greatly reducing injuries as a result of improper or lack of use of child passenger seats. Saint Elizabeth Car Seat Fitting Station is located at 6900 L Street, on the north side of the building - just north of Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center. Individualized educational sessions are by appointment only, though emergency appointments can be made, which are scheduled by Telephone Line to Care at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center. The Foundation has assisted the Car Seat Fitting Station Coordinator in acquiring funding from: Nebraska Office of Highway Safety, Nebraska State Troopers Association and the Lincoln Public School's Regional Training Project and various donors. A total of $19,222 was secured for the program and the purchase of car seats for those who cannot afford them. Emergency Medical Services The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Emergency Medical Services Program have grants available to develop and implement continuing education courses for volunteer Emergency Medical Service providers. The Saint Elizabeth Foundation has provided one program per month, using telehealth - an interactive video system - connecting across the State of Nebraska through hospitals and public health departments via the Nebraska Statewide Telehealth Network (NSTN). These two to three hour topics have included Stroke, Treatment vs. Transport, Time is Muscle, Winter Emergencies, Burn and Wound Care, Asthma, Water Rescue, Sports Injuries, Pediatric Emergencies, OB/GYN Emergencies, Diabetic Emergencies, and Documentation. The Nebraska Health and Human Services department Of Emergency Medical Services paid $1,011 to promote 11 programs presented fiscal year 2011. Lincoln ED Connections ED Connections is a collaborative emergency department case management program, involving both Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center & BryanLGH. The program was created through a grant from the Community Health Endowment to assist people who utilize emergency departments as their primary source of health care. Patients are enrolled in ED Connections to help them with food, shelter, medication assistance, or other barriers they might have that prevent them from obtaining positive health outcomes. They are connected to other services in the community to help them overcome these barriers and helped along a pathway to a permanent medical home. Saint Elizabeth Foundation has secured additional funding of $77,027 for the program from Region V Mental Health Services, individual donors, and the Community Health Endowment. Career Mentoring Program Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center has developed a career mentoring program providing a Health Sciences Summer Internship Program and a Health Occupations Summer Camp for qualifying Lincoln public and parochial high school students interested in healthcare occupations. Students that successfully complete these programs are awarded scholarships through a gift from Wells Fargo and other donors, designated to Saint Elizabeth Foundation's Career Mentoring Fund. Six $800 scholarships were awarded students in Fiscal Year 2011. |
| Program Services Accomplishments- Part III | Form 990, Part III, Q. 4A | Kids Wish Network Saint Elizabeth Foundation assists the Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center with securing items for children who are here for an extended period of time or go through difficult exams. We have established a relationship with a special network for children. Kids Wish Network is different from other giving organizations in its efforts to actively seek out children who have "slipped through the cracks." Children who are patients at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center benefit from the partnership that has been formed between the Foundation and the Kids Wish Network. Here are some of the ways that children benefit: Hero of the Month Each month, a nurse, social worker, or anyone actively working with children ages three to 18 may nominate them to be a Kids Wish Network - Hero of the Month. This fund is for children being treated at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center but do not have life threatening illnesses, but instead are facing some very sad or extraordinary experiences and need some extra help. Recipients receive a $100 Wal-mart Gift Card, a t-shirt, a medallion much like the Olympic medal, certificate with their name and a card are awarded to the Hero each month. Ten children were nominated to become a Hero of the Month at Saint Elizabeth each receiving a Gift Card. Special Foundation Funds Twelve Saint Elizabeth Foundation Scholarships for $500 were awarded to associates who had been employed by Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center or their Lincoln-based affiliates for at least six months. Two teen scholarships were also awarded to deserving volunteers. A competitive process took place with a committee making the decisions. Auxiliary Under the umbrella of Saint Elizabeth Foundation, the Saint Elizabeth Auxiliary conducts supportive activities, which enhance the quality of care given to patients, their families, associates, and volunteers through fundraising efforts and positive community relations. They also provided funding for five scholarships. Fundraising events included Valentine and May Day sales, Books are Fun, Art sales and the annual Lights of Love event, which cumulatively totaled $26,189 for Fiscal Year 2011. Nursing Alumni Graduates of the Saint Elizabeth School of Nursing, which closed in 1970, promoted professionalism in nursing with five scholarships for nurses. The Foundation staff supports various activities of the Nursing Alumni, such as assisting with annual events and inclusion of their scholarships in the award process. Nurses' scholarships of $500 each have been established from an endowed fund, given from interest only and involving the principle that will continue into perpetuity. Gift Shop The Gift Shop at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center provides goods and services which benefit patients, their families, visitors and staff. Operating under the umbrella of the Foundation, the Gift Shop proceeds of $53,860 for 2011 provide funding of projects at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center. Camp for Children Who Have Experienced Burns Saint Elizabeth Foundation supported Kamp Kaleo - a children's camp for burn survivors and their siblings. Nurses from the Saint Elizabeth Burn Unit provide supervision and treatment at camp in Burwell, Nebraska. The camp provides children with similar experiences and opportunity to interact, while building self-esteem through physical activities and personal accomplishments. |
