A MESSAGE

from the Avera McKennan Foundation President W. Tim Kromminga

IN THIS ISSUE Foundation Board/Staff PAGE 1 Precision Oncology PAGE 2

Avera McKennan is ever grateful for your support. Your financial gifts benefit the health of the community and serve our healing mission -- today and into the future.

As health care evolves, it’s critical that Avera provides the highest level of care. This past year, your gifts directly impacted patients, from the state-of- the-art NICU to precision oncology, the Avera Race to The Big Grape. Thank you for making this possible.

Cancer remains a priority as we reduce barriers, support survivors and seek cures. For over 28 years, the Avera Race has benefitted local cancer survivors and families. Thanks to so many, this year we raised over $425,000 for areas such as the wig program, integrative medicine, the fitness program and survivorship support.

Thanks to grant funding, the Rural Cancer Advisory Board is in its second year. The board of rural farmers, ranchers, physicians and key community leaders work to better understand treatment needs for outlying communities and how best to serve them.

The new Avera Cancer Institute Navigation Center opened its phones in May to provide 24/7 navigation support. Made possible through a generous lead gift, the center is the area’s first and truly demonstrates Avera’s dedication to treating the whole person; body, mind and spirit.

Precision oncology is a groundbreaking and growing way of treating cancer on the molecular level. Thanks to you, an esteemed group of world-renowned researchers and scientists at Avera are working with patients’ DNA to prescribe the best course of therapy. We have seen remarkable success and have great optimism for the future.

The new state-of-the-art NICU is celebrating its first birthday thanks to gifts to Little Footprints, Big Hearts: Campaign for Avera NICU. Countless families and premature babies now have advanced technology and improved, family-friendly amenities. Through gifts from The Big Grape Premier Wine Tasting Event, additional pediatric areas have received vital assistance. The 2016 event raised over $235,000 to fund both the NICU and Avera Children’s Hospital.

I’m humbled by your generosity. It says a lot when a small city in the Midwest can become part of internationally accredited consortiums and groups. We did it thanks to you. Please enjoy reading this snapshot of giving -- and be proud of the impact you have made throughout our region.

Thank you.

PRECISION ONCOLOGY: A GAME CHANGER IN FIGHTING CANCER

Thanks to generous donors and community partners, the Avera Cancer Institute Center for Precision Oncology has treated over 600 patients since opening in January 2014. Along with gratefulness for generosity, the skilled team of researchers, scientists and physicians are giving new hope to patients through genomic sequencing. Our hope is to conduct additional research and facilitate ongoing studies to continue giving patients new treatment options based on changes at the molecular level. This evolution of cancer care furthers Avera’s healing ministry by giving hope and healing to cancer patients and those at high risk.

every patient is unique.

every treatment is unique.

“Through genetic testing, the physicians were able to create a treatment that was genetically personalized for me.

They explained that standard treatments don’t work for everybody so they targeted my plan based on the specific mutations of my cancer.”

- Kristen Kilmer

“The research done at the Avera Cancer Institute for Precision Oncology saves lives.

Look at truly what a life is worth. Your dollars directly benefit patients like me.”

- Ildi Lorinca

AVERA JOINS WIN CONSORTIUM Through generous support from the community, Avera Cancer Institute continues to lead the way in cancer care and has recently become the fifth medical institute in the United States to join the Worldwide Innovative Networking (WIN) Consortium.

The WIN Consortium is a global network of leading academic, industry, insurance and non-profit research organizations working to make personalized cancer care available for patients worldwide. As a member of the WIN Consortium, Avera will be on the front line of this groundbreaking science and will work to benefit patients both regionally and worldwide.

AVERA MCKENNAN FOUNDATION

The Avera Cancer Institute Navigation Center: 1-888-422-1410 Thanks to philanthropic support, the Avera Cancer Institute Navigation Center has been serving all cancer patients and their families throughout the Avera region by offering round-the-clock support. Since opening in March, countless patients and families have utilized this service to get health-related answers, emotional support, care coordination and access to providers and services from trained professionals. Thanks to a generous lead gift and additional donations, the Avera Cancer Institute Navigation Center is the first of its kind in the area and furthers Avera’s healing mission to ensure access to quality cancer care to all.

Field of Dreams: Rural Cancer Advisory Board Breaks Barriers Thank you to all who furthered Avera’s Gospel value of compassion through ongoing dedication for the newly formed Avera Rural Cancer Advisory Board. This 22-member forum (pictured below) consists of stakeholders who share in our vision to break cancer barriers for those living in rural communities by sharing insights and input.

In addition to our gratitude for a $200,000 Community Innovation Grant from the Bush Foundation, we are thankful to the board members, community partners and caregivers for ensuring farmers and ranchers in outlying areas receive proper care and treatment through this outreach effort. Throughout the year, the group met to discuss reducing barriers to cancer treatment, finding ways to remove them and changing the course of cancer care delivery. Thank you to all those who have contributed their time and resources to this groundbreaking endeavor.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The New Avera Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Turns One! No smashcake here but there’s certainly something to celebrate.

Thanks to support from the community, the new, state-of-the-art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Avera Children’s Hospital celebrated its first year serving premature babies and their families.

With an increased capacity, private rooms and enhanced amenities, Avera is proud to serve its mission of providing world-class care. Thank you to all who made this community gift a possibility and to those who continue supporting ongoing needs.

A MILESTONE FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE The first century of caring continues to serve as a building block for Avera McKennan’s legacy of healing. As the community hospital enters its second century, continued support is needed to secure the future and build upon the strong foundation created by our loyal founders. In 1911, Helen McKennan saw a need and made an initial estate gift to start a faith-based, community hospital.

Thanks to partnerships with the Benedictine and Presentation Sisters, this gift grew into the health care system in place today. Through our ongoing planned giving campaign, One-Hundred for 100, the Avera McKennan Foundation is grateful to those who have made the deep commitment to the mission and look forward to working with new partners who share in our philosophy of providing quality health care to all, regardless of ability to pay.

6th Annual HeARTS in Healing A canvas for compassion, the 6th Annual HeARTS in Healing was a success thanks to the generous donors and community partners who supported this annual fundraiser to support navigation services and the Arts in Healing Program at Avera Behavioral Health.

Held on February 6, 2016, guests gathered at the Avera Behavioral Health Center atrium where they enjoyed an evening of gourmet food and an art-filled auction. This year, over $60,000 was raised to support patients and families who utilize behavioral health services. A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors, artists, volunteers and guests for making this event a success.

AVERA MCKENNAN EMPLOYEE GIVING CAMPAIGN At Avera, we are working together and giving together to further the mission. As we look to the community for generous support, employees also demonstrate their commitment through financial contributions. By way of the annual Employee Giving Campaign, employees were given the opportunity to make a gift to further the Gospel values and healing ministry. This past year, employees donated over $455,000 to support areas they are passionate about. From lifesaving equipment to implementing innovative new programs and services, Avera McKennan is proud to have created a compassionate environment that is strengthened through giving. Thank you for working together and giving together to support the mission!

Music, Memories and Mission LYRICS LEND COMFORT AND COMPASSION FOR HOSPICE PATIENTS AND FAMILIES Through generosity of donors and vital partnerships, Swan Songs® at Avera completed its inaugural year with a celebratory concert featuring local legend and Swan Songs® founder Christine Albert, and her musical partner and husband Chris Gage. Thanks to philanthropic support, this past year, after becoming the first-of-its-kind Swan Songs® affiliate, Swan Songs® at Avera organized 12 musical performances at patients’ bedsides featuring their favorite, requested style of music.

We are honored to have teamed up with the areas finest musicians to provide the healing gift of music to hospice patients and their families.

In addition to Swan Songs® at Avera, our generous donors have also allowed us to expand our music offering by having a professional music therapist, Erin Cook, play music at the bedside of 125 patients this past year.

We have also teamed up with a local volunteer acapella group, the Threshold Choir, to sing for those facing life’s end.

Thanks you to our talented musicians, generous donors and compassionate caregivers for making musical memories for hospice patients and their families.
