2022 UHM Program

Welcome

We’re thrilled to be back celebrating the 12th annual Under the Harvest Moon gala at Hazeltine! The last time we gathered in person for this event was in 2019. There’s nothing like celebrating face-to-face once again.

Under the Harvest Moon is an opportunity for us to come together to raise money for our Cause for the Community campaign. This multi-year initiative will enhance nearly every area within Ridgeview. This includes adding programs and services to treat patients with more advanced needs, increasing the number of inpatient beds to ensure everyone has room to be treated, and strengthening Ridgeview Clinics and Urgent Care sites. It’s the largest fundraising campaign in Ridgeview’s history, and we’re so happy you’re supporting it.

We kicked off the Cause for the Community campaign in June and have already raised enough funds to increase the number of advanced monitoring systems (telemetry) to ensure patients don’t have to travel far for advanced care. Now, we’re focused on raising the funds needed to enhance our simulation program. Here’s why:

• Simulation is critical in any successful health care system, as it allows clinicians to replicate many aspects of a clinical situation in a realistic way.

• It provides a risk-free experience so clinicians can fine-tune their skills, practice advanced techniques and develop cohesive teams.

• Simulation results in improved patient safety and expanded clinical capabilities, allowing us to provide more complex care to patients right here at Ridgeview.

You are an important part of the success of our Cause for the Community campaign, and we are forever grateful for your support.

With gratitude, Michael Phelps President & CEO, Ridgeview

Success has a way of finding collaborators.

We’re proud to support Ridgeview Foundation and the important role your organization plays in our community.

What dessert will your table receive? It will depend on how much you’re willing to donate and how fast you are on your feet!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

New this year: Help choose the “People’s Choice” for best-looking dessert. Write the dessert number on the chip you receive at registration and drop it in the bucket on the dessert table. Voting ends at 8:00 p.m.

As a table, determine your top three choices of desserts. When prompted, pass the sheet around the table and fill in your bid number and the amount your table is willing to donate for your dessert.

Total the amount of the donation for your table. A volunteer will pick up your bid card.

Select one person to be Dessert Dasher! Tables with the highest bid will be announced first. Listen for Ian to call your table number and have your appointed “Dessert Dasher” dash to grab your favorite dessert—don’t be slow!

Enjoy your dessert!

Phase 1: Simulation

Simulation is a critical component in any successful health care system. Simulation training is a technique that replicates many aspects of a clinical situation in a realistic way. It provides a risk-free experience so clinicians can fine-tune their skills, practice advanced techniques and develop cohesive clinical teams. This results in improved patient safety and expanded clinical capabilities, so we can provide more complex care to patients close to home.

Our Cause for the Community campaign will allow us to add simulators, increase our simulation space and enhance our audio/ video capabilities to allow for more advanced training.
