AVH FOUNDATION

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH …

A message from AVH Foundation

How do we thank sewing enthusiasts who handstitched hundreds upon hundreds of masks for Aspen Valley Hospital clinicians and patients?

How do we thank the individuals who donated amounts ranging from $1.00 to $1,000,000+, allowing AVH to set up a Respiratory Evaluation Center, perform COVID-19 tests, continue operations and fund the final phase of our Master Facilities Plan?

How do we thank the gentleman who surprised staff on all shifts with brunch from a local restaurant — and was so moved by photographs of their “thumbs-up” appreciation that he repeated his gracious generosity again and again?

This is the challenge we face, a thousandfold, in acknowledging our community’s extraordinary support for AVH and Aspen Valley Hospital Foundation in 2020.

No two ways about it: The past year was challenging for the Foundation. We began 2020 hoping to raise the remaining $12 million so we could close our $60 million capital campaign and break ground on the final phase of AVH’s Master Facilities Plan. Instead, we had to pivot quickly and focus on the Hospital’s immediate and critical response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fortunately, the community pivoted right alongside us, with an overwhelming outpouring of support from long-time, first-time and former donors.

EVERY GIFT A TREASURE Today, it may be difficult to recall the fear and uncertainty of last spring, which was heightened when Aspen became only the second place in Colorado with a documented case of COVID-19.

Yet even in those first months, people stepped up to support AVH in many ways:

n A local florist donated a bouquet of flowers to each staff member on their birthday.

n A local construction company donated its inventory of unused N95 masks.

THE IMPACT OF PHILANTHROPY

n Students drew pictures and wrote letters of encouragement.

n Grateful community members erected banners of thanks and appreciation.

n Local and national companies sent care packages to staff.

The donors listed on the following pages made generous financial donations totaling more than $5 million last year. Many of the people you see listed are new donors to the Foundation, and others are long-term supporters — many of whom saw the extraordinary need and increased their giving.

HERE FOR YOU, HERE BECAUSE OF YOU We believe this amazing community response was partly the result of people realizing that access to high-quality medical care is a top priority. At the onset of the pandemic, AVH’s testing and laboratory capabilities, patient capacity, the number of respirators and ICU beds, and its supply of personal protective equipment became a front-and-center priority for everyone living in or visiting the Roaring Fork Valley.

At the same time, the community saw the benefits of years of constructing new facilities and upgrading technology. Thanks to the completion of the first three phases of our Master Facilities Plan, AVH had up-to-date safety, privacy and infection prevention technology and equipment already in place. Had the community not supported AVH Foundation in the past, our fight against COVID-19 would have looked very different. And, because of the extraordinary generosity over the past year, we are now just $7.3 million shy of reaching our $60 million capital campaign goal!

The facts could not be more apparent: AVH means a lot to you, just as AVH owes its existence to you. Humbly and gratefully, we thank you! Like never before, we could not have done this without you. n
