FOUNDATION CONTRIBUTES RECORD $1 MILLION TO OLYMPIC MEDICAL CENTER
The OMC Foundation presented $1 million to Olympic Medical Center at the OMC Commissioner’s meeting Wednesday, the most that it has given in its 38 year history to OMC.
The large gift was due to the successful Festival of Trees event that the Foundation just staged, as well as a gift from an anonymous door.
Foundation Executive Director Bruce Skinner said that the Foundation has given over $1 9 million to OMC this year, which is another record.
“We have been very fortunate to be the benefactor of many generous citizens in Clallam County,” said Skinner The donation will go towards the following:
$820,000 to help fund a new CT Scan Imaging Machine at the OMC Cancer Center, which will allow patients to be examined locally instead of having to travel outside of the area.
$180,000 to fund wheelchairs and stretchers for the emergency Room.
“We are extremely grateful for this donation,” said OMC CEO Darryl Wolf,” as this will be of an extreme benefit for patients on the Olympic Peninsula Because of COVID, we have had to limit our capital purchases, and would not have been able to purchase this at this time if it wasn’t for this gift from the Foundation.”
“The latest CT scan has 128 slices, which will provide for much better imaging for the heart, cancer and other diseases
“This is the top of the line CT scanner,” said OMC Director of Radiology John Troglia. “These machines can provide a full-body scan in mere seconds. This is a huge win for patients, thanks to the incredible speed and accuracy of these machines ”
“We hope that many local people will become a part of our fundraising efforts,” said Skinner.

OMC FOUNDATION RED, SET, GO! HEART LUNCHEON RAISES OVER $100,000
The Olympic Medical Center Foundation's Red, Set, Go! Heart Luncheon presented by the Jamestown S'Klallam tribe raised a record $111,000 on Friday, exceeding last year’s record breaking total by $17,000
Monies will be used to fund an X-Ray unit that will provide for the support needed for Olympic Medical Center’s leadless pacemaker program, which utilizes devices that are 93 percent smaller than conventional pacemakers With this addition to the OMC Cardiac Rhythm Management Program, patients will no longer need to travel out of town for this procedure.
“We were able to raise money for something that will save lives,” said event chair Karen Rogers. “Once again, people in this community were extremely generous during these challenging times.”
Speakers at the event included local cardiologist Dr. Kara Urnes, Dr. Joshua Jones, Chief Physician Officer at OMC, and Dr. John Mignone from Swedish Medical Center Julie Hatch from Port Angeles presented the survivor story “Each year attendees look forward to learning from women like Julie who have been impacted by their heart health. It is through their stories that we can better support our family and friends,” said Foundation Executive Director Bruce Skinner.
Kate McDermott, a 2017 James Beard Award finalist and the author of several cook books, also delivered a presentation on “Life’s Lessons Learned From Baking Pie.”
Education Awareness
The educational lunch promotes that the key to eradicating heart disease is education. “The purpose of our event is to inspire women to learn how to improve their heart health. Many women are surprised to learn that heart disease is the number one killer of women,” said Rogers

TOP DUCK PLUCKED IN ANNUAL FUNDRAISING DERBY
Winning a new Toyota Corolla took Tracy Bloom of Sequim by surprise “You’ve got to be kidding me,” he told Bruce Skinner, executive director of the Olympic Medical Center Foundation, when he was told his yellow rubber duck had been the winner plucked from the dump truck load.
Bloom, owner of Tracy’s Insulation of Sequim, won the first-place prize, donated by Wilder Auto of Port Angeles, in the 33rd annual Great Olympic Peninsula Duck Derby held at Pebble Beach Park in Port Angeles on Sunday. The is the first time Bloom has taken home a prize since he began entering the annual duck derby in 2006.
“I never win anything,” he said later during a phone interview. “I’ve earned everything I got the hard way.” He didn’t immediately know what he would do with the new car but said he had a couple of ideas he was considering. “I’m going to make something positive happen out of this thing,” Bloom said.
The race netted the most money ever for the OMC Foundation: $124,000 after expenses, Skinner said. The old record of $115,000 was set only last year.
Proceeds of the annual fundraiser, which was presented by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, go to the foundation to support medical education and treatment in Clallam County through Olympic Medical Center. Before Sunday’s derby, the foundation had given nearly $7 million to, or on behalf of, OMC during the past decade, Skinner said.
For the prior two years, the Duck Derby had been presented virtually because of COVID-19 health measures This year, it was in person and at a new venue.
People gathered at the park at Front and Railroad streets in Port Angeles to find a Kids Pavilion and a Very Important Duck (VID) party. The Bub and Alice Olsen Very Important Duck Race, in which businesses purchase ducks bearing their company logos for $300 each, was first with three winners, followed by the main event, which had 33 winners. The derby, once a “race” with ducks poured into a pond and floating along to cross a finish line, has evolved into what Skinner calls a “duck pluck” in which the ducks never get wet
For the main derby, six pickups were filled with rubber ducks. Cards were drawn to determine which would contain the order of the “finish line,” and a duck was plucked from each one. In the VID derby, ducks were in one pickup truck.
The top seller of rubber ducks was Esther Littlejohn of Sequim for the second straight year with 2,100 ducks sold. The top seller in Port Angeles was Gail Ralston with 1,853 ducks, 33,126 all-time. The top-selling partnership was Larry and Sylvia Strohm, who sold 3,194 ducks. They now have sold 18,900 ducks all-time.
Other top salespeople were Jim Leskinovitch, 1,582, (16,820 lifetime); Karen Rogers, 1,050 (1,731 lifetime); Sandy Sinnes, 978 (7,353); Gay Lynn Iseri, 864 (17,852); Harriet Covention, 746 (1,688); Bill Whitten, 653 (2,447) and Leslie English 611 (11,733).

A RECORD RAISED FOR CANCER CENTER CARE AT HARVEST OF HOPE DINNER
The Olympic Medical Center Foundation raised a record $439,000 at its 20th annual Harvest of Hope presented by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and Sound Community Bank, held at Guy Cole Events Center in Sequim Saturday night. Funds will go towards equipment and services at the OMC Cancer Center.
In addition to monies being raised for new equipment for the cancer center and a new CT Scan machine, attendees also contributed $35,000 to fund the Cancer Center’s Patient Navigator program, which provides basic living expenses for low income cancer patients.
The Foundation also presented the Rick Kaps Award to The Sunland Ladies Club, which presents the Sunland Drive for the Cure Golf Tournament held each September that benefits cancer treatment The Kaps Award – named for the former Sequim High School basketball coach and educator who passed away from cancer in 1998 – is presented annually to an organization or individual who has contributed to cancer and overall health care on the North Olympic Peninsula
Leslie English was the event’s cancer survivor speaker. She had a cancerous tumor removed at OMC in 2007, and since then she and her husband Monte have sold over $70,000 in raffle tickets at OMC Foundation events
The record amount was made possible by raising $186,00 in sponsorship sales, auction and fund a need income, and other fundraising during the event.
That would have been a new record amount of money raised in itself, but that amount was matched by a generous gift from the Elizabeth B McGraw Foundation, headed by Lee McGraw, formerly of Sequim.
The monies will be used to fund the Cancer Center’s Patient Navigator program, equipment for the cancer center, and a new top of the line CT Scanner
“The great news is that patients can be examined locally instead of having to travel out of the area,” said Harvest of Hope Chair Karen Rogers.
“This is the top of the line CT Scanner. These machines can provide a full body scan in mere seconds This is a huge win for patients, thanks to the incredible speed and accuracy of these machines,” said John Troglia, OMC’s Director of Radiology.
The Foundation has contributed over $3.5 million for the Cancer Center. “OMC and the Foundation is thankful for all of the support that it has received from hundreds of donors who have contributed towards this effort,” said Foundation Executive Committee member and event chair Karen Rogers.
“We also really want to thank our sponsors. Because of their support, every penny raised at Harvest of Hope goes toward the treatment of cancer,” said OMC Executive Director Bruce Skinner.
