To cause something to happen or be created; to breathe in, inhale and bring in new air; to exert an invigorating and exalting influence upon a person; to fill others with courage, purpose and enthusiasm.

Dear Friends: As we enter this season of giving thanks, I find myself reflecting on the things for which I’m most thankful. This year, even the simplest of things are on my list, and I don’t take anything for granted. It would be easy to let COVID-19’s cloud of worry, canceled plans and uncertainty choke out our gratitude. So, I want to share our latest publication that’s full of stories that have encouraged and inspired me, even on the cloudiest of days—stories of resilience, hope and generosity. In this issue of inspire magazine, we introduce you to a man who had a heart attack just weeks into our state’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy order. Despite our area’s shutdown, his hometown hospital was at the top of its game when he needed it most. You’ll meet Mollie, who persevered through months of cancer treatment, made bearable by well-equipped caregivers, familiar surroundings and a sassy pair of pumps. These are the stories that our donors helped make happen, and they demonstrate how our investments in local, world-class health care really matter, especially when the world seems upside down. You will also see the impact Providence’s Behavioral Health Urgent Care Center has had during the challenging year we’ve been facing. This unique center, which would not have been possible without community donations and grants, has already saved many lives and eased the way of hundreds of patients and families in its first year of operation. I’m also excited to share with you plans to increase the size of the Providence Boyden Family Autism Center. Statistics suggest that for every child on the autism spectrum who we can currently help, there are many more in our area that need it, but wait months for a diagnosis and treatment. Providence General Foundation is honored to support this expansion that will help more of our most vulnerable children reach their potential and achieve their dreams. Our donors will be hearing more about how they can get involved through our upcoming Festival of Dreams. Even more than a virus, I believe gratitude is contagious. So, let me do my part in spreading the spirit of thankfulness. I’m grateful for the research, medicine and technology that is helping our community get through an unprecedented health challenge. I’m grateful for compassionate caregivers who endure difficult circumstances to comfort and heal the sick. And I’m especially grateful for you, our supporters and friends, who make this all possible. Good things are happening here because of good people who give of themselves to help others. I hope you’re inspired by the stories that showcase and celebrate the goodness that’s all around us.

CARDIAC CARE

How a Black Lab and a Cath Lab Saved His Life

“Yes, I was scared. But once I got into the ER, I knew I was going to make it because I was in the right place.”

George Schlosser spent an April morning with chainsaw in hand, clearing brush near his Lake Stevens home. His wife, Lynn, was about to take their dogs for a walk in the woods. Maple, their young black lab, gets spooked by the chainsaw, so George took a break while Lynn and the dogs walked past. No one could have predicted what followed— or that little Maple’s fear might play a role in saving George’s life.

the retired volunteer firefighter walked toward the couple’s house, he felt a twinge of pain. “I must have pulled a muscle in my chest,” he thought.

He walked a bit further: “I’m really sweating. I guess I was working hard.” By the time George reached the house, he couldn’t deny the signs. “I had the proverbial elephant sitting on my chest. I knew I was having a heart attack.” He called Lynn and asked her to come back home, then dialed 911. Crews from Lake Stevens and Getchell Fire arrived within minutes, did an EKG, and confirmed George’s suspicions. George had been on the other side of this situation countless times, and he was worried. “I think I knew too much,” he says. “This was serious, and I was in trouble.” The medics put George into the ambulance, and one said, “We’re taking you to the best possible hospital: Providence.” From his experience as a first responder, George knew that medic was right. Providence Regional Medical Center Everett (PRMCE) had a reputation for exceptional cardiac care. “The whole time I had confidence,” he says. “Yes, I was scared. But once I got into the E.R., I knew I was going to make it because I was in the right place.’ He was in the Emergency Department for mere minutes. “In came the cath lab people, and off I went,” he said. An interventional cardiology team, led by Vinaya Chepuri, MD, rushed him to PRMCE’s cardiac catheterization lab. With George under light sedation, Dr. Chepuri inserted a catheter through a small incision in George’s wrist and used tools on the tip of the catheter to place four stents to restore blood flow to George’s heart. Interventional catheterization is faster, safer and more comfortable than traditional surgery. Going in through the wrist, rather than the groin, further reduces the risk of bleeding and allows patients to recover even more quickly.

About an hour after his procedure, George was on the phone with Lynn, who couldn’t come into the hospital, due to COVID visitor restrictions. “I’m done, and I feel great!” he told her. The next day, Dr. Chepuri placed two additional stents in another narrowed coronary artery. “The cath lab at PRMCE does more catheterizations and stent placements than any other facility in Western Washington— more than 1,000 per year,” Dr. Chepuri said. “That means we can attract new physicians, trained in the latest and greatest technique, which raises the quality of the cardiac program as a whole.” Support from the community made it possible to build out and upgrade three cardiac labs at the Colby Campus, with a fourth planned for next year. “As technology changes, it’s important to keep upgrading, and the Foundation helps with that,” said Dr. Chepuri. “I could talk about our donors all day.” George went home the next morning and was walking his dogs the following afternoon. Months later, he still feels great—and the tiny incision in his wrist left virtually no scar. As small business owners, the Schlossers choose their own health insurance. “We made a point to get a plan that included care at Providence,” George said. “We knew we had a darn good hospital right here locally. It definitely lived up to its reputation.” George is glad his timid little Labrador made him stop his chainsaw long enough to realize he needed help. And he’s especially grateful that generous donors made sure Providence was ready with life-saving cardiac care when he needed it. 5

CANCER TREATMENT

There’s No Place Like Home D

orothy said it best: There’s no place like home. For 50-year-old Mollie Marie, that sentiment took on extra meaning this past year. Everett is home to her, and being surrounded by the place and people she holds dear helped her survive the most tumultuous time of her life.

Today, Mollie lives in North Everett— practically in the shadow of Providence Regional Cancer Partnership (PRCP). “I knew it was there,” she said. “But did I ever think I’d be inside? No.” That changed last November when Mollie discovered a grape-sized lump during her monthly breast self-exam. She had an ultrasound, a biopsy and genetic testing at Providence. Then, she received a diagnosis: an aggressive form of breast cancer. She would need chemotherapy, surgery, then radiation. She decided to get her care at PRCP— just blocks from her home.

LIPSTICK, PUMPS AND CHEMO Mollie’s mantra is, “What you put forward is what you get back.” Facing cancer treatment was no exception. “I went there in a fluffy pink coat, high heels, and full make-up. I was determined to have the right attitude.” Mollie’s roots in the area go back more than 100 years—and include her grandmother, Peggy Doph, who founded a marketing firm in North Everett in the 1980s. “I looked up to her so much,” Mollie remembers. It was her grandmother who first nurtured Mollie’s love of fashion by introducing her to the downtown Everett boutiques as a teen. “Now I’m kind of known for my high heels and business suits,” Mollie said. “I have my grandma to thank for that.”

Those heels were something special: Sparkly ruby red pumps Mollie had bought nearly a year earlier. She didn’t have an outfit in mind—but she just knew she had to add the heels to her collection. “They just sat there,” Mollie said. “When I found out I would have chemo, I knew I had to feel fierce. I had to feel like me amidst all that was happening around me.” So, those shoes went with her to every chemo and radiation treatment. When COVID-19 happened, Mollie could no longer have a support person with her during treatment.

But she never felt alone. Mollie wore a necklace that had her grandmother’s fingerprint pressed in silver. “I realized I could hold my grandma’s hand,” Mollie remembers. “I’d put my thumb on her fingerprint and just breathe. I know she was with me.” Mollie’s community—her home—was with her, too. A local family farm sent boxes of fresh produce. Familiar views of the mountains and Sound comforted her during a brief hospitalization in the Cymbaluk Medical Tower’s new inpatient oncology unit, which just opened in December.

INVESTMENTS IN CANCER CARE Mollie was one of the first patients to stay in the newly-completed rooms on the ninth floor of the Cymbaluk Medical Tower and says it felt like a fine hotel. The beautiful, private patient rooms were funded, in part, by community donations to Providence General Foundation. Ongoing donor support also keeps Providence on the cutting edge of cancer treatment and technology so patients like Mollie can receive world-class care close to home.

“I didn’t have to go to Seattle for treatment. Providence was right in my backyard.”

From medical staff, to counselors, to dietitians, to Greg and Eric in the parking garage—who always greeted her with a smile—Mollie felt confident, cared for and right at home through every step.

“My community has taken care of me. I can’t be anything but grateful,” Mollie says. Dorothy, in her sparkly red shoes, was right. There really is no place like home. Mollie’s treatment ended in August and her cancer was declared in remission. A few months later, Mollie celebrated another milestone: she got married! And guess which shoes she wore down the aisle?

Mollie’s ruby shoes came to chemotherapy treatments.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

A “World Changer” Wraps up its First Year It was a phone call no mom wants to receive. Her distraught adult daughter told her she’d just tried to drive her car off a cliff, and was still considering ending her life.

ortunately, this mom had heard about Providence’s new Behavioral Health Urgent Care (BHUC) center, located near the Emergency Department at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. She brought her daughter in, and the team gave her immediate help, connected her to ongoing behavioral health services and ultimately stopped the young woman from committing suicide.

“My daughter said she had never felt heard before today,” the mom tearfully told a Providence caregiver. “Thank you for saving my daughter’s life.” This is one of many touching testimonials about the impact BHUC services have made in just the first year of operation.

“This clinic is a world changer for individuals living with mental illness,” says Jordan Larkin-Sinn, a certified peer counselor at BHUC. Providence’s BHUC services began in November of 2019, as Washington State’s first behavioral health urgent care center located on a hospital campus. The idea for this unique clinic came from the high number of patients who sought emergency care for mental health issues at Providence Everett, one of the state’s busiest emergency rooms. Patients come into BHUC for a variety of reasons such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder and other behavioral health concerns.

“Most people checking in have a COVID-related reason to request to be seen,” notes Ganelle Swindler, a substance abuse disorder professional at the clinic. Because of COVID-19, the center is seeing an increase in issues related to ongoing stress and anxiety. “Anxiety and uncertainty affects every single person in this pandemic,” says Laura Knapp, Director of Behavioral Health at Providence. “The prolonged nature of this disaster makes it even more challenging to manage.” When COVID first hit, and in-person care became increasingly difficult, the staff quickly began offering virtual and phone appointments. “We want to eliminate any barriers to care,” says Knapp.

Because of grants and donor support, Providence General Foundation was able to fund nearly $400,000 for the clinic’s first three years of operations. BHUC staff members are grateful for the philanthropy that helped open the doors of this much-needed community resource. “It is impossible to do this work without it,” said Knapp. “This clinic and other crucial behavioral health services rely on donors to stay afloat.” Those involved in the inaugural year of the BHUC hope it might serve as a model for other communities.

“It’s a vital resource we are offering,” said Amy Leonard, social worker at BHUC. “I believe it is an essential service that all communities should have.”

When COVID first hit, and in-person care became increasingly difficult, the BHUC staff quickly began offering virtual and phone appointments.

CHILDREN’S SER VICES

Autism Center to Meet Expanding Urgent Needs I

magine noticing signs that your child may have a disorder, and then being told you must wait six months to a year to see a specialist for a diagnosis. Then, imagine that diagnosis confirms that your child has the disorder, but you are told you need to wait several more months to begin treatment. Unfortunately, that is the current reality for hundreds of local families with children who have autism. Months-long wait lists are the norm. That could soon change. The Providence Boyden Family Autism Center is planning to expand—double in size—to meet the growing need in our region for autism diagnosis, treatment and support.

“We want to get as much help as we can, to as many families as we can,” says Dr. Jill McDaniel, Clinical Manager of the Center. Providence opened the Boyden Family Autism Center in 2014, with significant donor support. Already, it has transformed the lives of hundreds of children and their families. However, the need for autism services is staggering. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disability that begins in early childhood and affects communication and behavior. The Centers for Disease Control estimated one in 54

children has ASD, which translates to an estimated 3,300 children living with autism in Snohomish County. Because of a shortage of space in qualified programs, many can’t get timely treatment. “We know that early intervention and treatment is critical for children on the autism spectrum,” said Dr. McDaniel. The expansion within the Providence Pavilion for Women & Children will nearly quadruple the number of children served each year and will increase therapy hours more than ten-fold. This will mean shorter wait times for diagnosis and therapy, better access to intensive programs for preschool children, a new follow-up therapy program and critical training, education and support resources for families. The Providence General Foundation plans to help fund a large portion of the clinical space buildout. “We don’t want any child to miss milestones while on a wait list,” said Lori Kloes, Chief Philanthropy Officer of Providence General Foundation.

“We’re excited that this expansion will allow Providence to diagnose and treat more children, and get them the support they need—sooner.”

LEGACY PLANNING

A Gift from the Heart, to the Future Diana Routledge dislikes being called a widow. “I prefer to be considered a soloist,” she says. Soloist is a new role for Diana who lost her husband, Bill, less than a year ago.

iana and Bill were married for 44 years, many of which were spent in the Everett area.

Bill was known as “one of the good guys,” and Diana says he was a kind and loving man. But the soft heart that earned him that reputation had its share of problems, too—at least in the physical sense. Heart valve issues slowed him down and also meant he wasn’t a good candidate for surgeries or procedures that could correct other health troubles.

When Bill was nearing 90, he was among the first patients to have transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure in which a doctor guides a catheter through a blood vessel to replace a heart valve. TAVR is used on a patient when open heart surgery is too risky.

Because of those experiences, when Diana and Bill planned their estate in early 2019, Providence came to mind. Diana says they wanted to leave a legacy “to benefit humanity.”

“Providence cares for people from before birth through the end of life, with no discrimination,” Diana said. “No one is left out or behind.” Later that year, at age 93, Bill passed away. Diana finds comfort in knowing that legacy planning means his impact, and hers, will live on. “It’s a gift from us to the future,” she says.” I think it’s our duty, as humans, to look out for each other.”

The new procedure extended Bill’s life, and Diana is forever grateful for those extra years. “The procedure gave us additional time together,” she said. Diana also appreciated the dedication of the staff that she witnessed during Bill’s many hospital visits. “I felt whatever I could do to help sustain that dedication would be cause enough,” Diana said.
