NEUROSCIENCE: REGIONS AND HEALTHPARTNERS ARE DESTINATIONS OF CHOICE FOR NEUROLOGICAL CARE, OFFERING THE FULL RANGE OF SPECIALTIES TO BEST SERVE PATIENTS. BY INTEGRATING PRIMARY CARE WITH NEUROLOGICAL SPECIALTIES AND REHABILITATION, WE CAN PROVIDE TIMELY DIAGNOSIS AND STATE-OF-THE-ART SPECIALTY CARE AND HELP PATIENTS LIVE FULL LIVES BOTH DURING AND AFTER TREATMENT. THIS COMBINATION MAKES US UNIQUE IN THE REGION AND HAS LED TO SEVERAL NATIONAL AWARDS IN THE NEUROSCIENCES AND NEUROSURGERY. DONATIONS TO OUR NEUROSCIENCE PROGRAMS FUNDED CAPITAL PROJECTS, PATIENT CARE, MEDICAL RESEARCH AND THE EDUCATION OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. THE FOLLOWING ARE HIGHLIGHTS OF THESE FUNDRAISING EFFORTS. THE HEALTHPARTNERS NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH CAMPAIGN- WITH NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS ON THE RISE, OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS A LEADER WHO WILL EXPLORE THE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM CAN IMPROVE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE ALZHEIMER'S, PARKINSON'S, STROKE, PTSD AND OTHER CONDITIONS. REGIONS AND HEALTHPARTNERS CAN OFFER THAT LEADERSHIP, COMBINING WORLD-CLASS CLINICIANS AND RESEARCHERS UNDER THE SAME ROOF. OPENING IN APRIL 2017, THE HEALTHPARTNERS NEUROSCIENCE CENTER BRINGS ALL OUR NEUROSCIENCE PROGRAMS TOGETHER UNDER ONE ROOF. MONEY RAISED BY OUR CAMPAIGN WILL ALLOW US TO CO-LOCATE OUR NEUROSCIENCES RESEARCH LABS IN THE CENTER AND OUTFIT THEM WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT TO DOUBLE OUR RESEARCH POTENTIAL AND CONDUCT CLINICAL TRIALS. CONTRIBUTIONS WILL ALSO HELP US OPERATE OUR RESEARCH PROGRAM. IN THIS WAY, THE NEUROSCIENCE CENTER CAN REACH ITS MAXIMUM POTENTIAL AS A CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND BEYOND. IN 2016 WE RAISED $4,814,730 TOWARD OUR GOAL OF $10.5 MILLION. HEALTHPARTNERS PARKINSON'S CENTER- THE CENTER HELPS PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON'S AND OTHER MOVEMENT DISORDERS LIVE FULL, HEALTHY LIVES WITH MINIMAL DISABILITY. THE CENTER OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE ARRAY OF SPECIALIZED CARE THAT IS UNMATCHED IN THE SERVICE AREA. IN THIS WAY, IT CAN PROVIDE AN EARLY DIAGNOSIS, WHICH IS THE FIRST STEP ON A PATH TO LIVING WELL. FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE LATER IN THE DISEASE PROCESS, PROVIDING THE FINEST CARE CAN OFTEN ALLOW THEM TO RETURN TO MANY OF THEIR PREVIOUS ACTIVITIES. THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED $11,425 FOR THE PROGRAMS OF THE HEALTHPARTNERS PARKINSON'S CENTER. THIS INCLUDED $8,950 FROM THE NATIONAL PARKINSON FOUNDATION MINNESOTA FOR A PARKINSON'S COMMUNITY EXERCISE PROGRAM. THE FUNDS WILL HELP ENSURE THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE PARKINSON'S DISEASE HAVE ACCESS TO ONGOING EXERCISE PROGRAMS IN THE TWIN CITIES EAST METRO ONCE THEY LEAVE PHYSICAL THERAPY AND THAT THESE PROGRAMS TARGET THEIR UNIQUE NEEDS. HEALTHPARTNERS CENTER FOR MEMORY AND AGING: IT IS RARE OUTSIDE OF ACADEMIA TO SEE THE INTEGRATION OF GROUNDBREAKING ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH AND OPTIMAL CARE IN ONE ORGANIZATION. BY COMBINING CARE AND RESEARCH, THE HEALTHPARTNERS CENTER FOR MEMORY AND AGING (THE CENTER) MAKES LIVING WITH DEMENTIA MORE MANAGEABLE FOR PATIENTS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS WHILE CREATING A MORE HOPEFUL TOMORROW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THE FOUNDATION RAISED $1,110,680 TO SUPPORT THE CENTER. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A THE FOLLOWING ARE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CENTER'S PROJECTS MADE POSSIBLE WITH CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS: WORK WITH PROMISING NEW TREATMENTS- THE CENTER CONDUCTS INTERNATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED RESEARCH THAT HAS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROMISING NEW TREATMENTS FOR BRAIN DISORDERS. THE CENTER CONTINUED ITS WORK WITH THE INTRANASAL DELIVERY OF INSULIN USING CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS. ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED IN OUR LABS, INTRANASAL INSULIN HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING POTENTIAL TREATMENTS FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. IT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO IMPROVE THE MEMORY, ATTENTION AND FUNCTIONING OF ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS, AND WHEN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED PLANS TO RAMP UP ITS FIGHT AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE IN 2012, INTRANASAL INSULIN WAS A MAJOR PIECE OF THE EFFORT. NOW, WITH CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS, THE CENTER IS TESTING A POTENTIALLY SAFER AND MORE EFFECTIVE FORMULATION OF THE MEDICINE. IN 2015, THE CENTER BEGAN A SIX-MONTH TRIAL THAT IS TESTING 90 PATIENTS WITH MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT AND MILD ALZHEIMER'S. THE FOUNDATION RAISED $820,000 IN PREVIOUS YEARS TO PAY FOR THIS STUDY. WITH FURTHER FUNDING, WE ARE EXPANDING OUR WORK WITH INTRANASAL INSULIN BEYOND THESE DISORDERS. IN 2016 WE RAISED $34,437 FOR A CLINICAL STUDY INVOLVING FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA, WHICH IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF YOUNG ONSET DEMENTIA IN PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 60. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS FOR FTD. WE ALSO EXPANDED OUR INTRANASAL INSULIN TRIALS TO INCLUDE PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME (DS), SINCE DEMENTIA IS VERY COMMON IN PEOPLE WITH DS. NO OTHER ORGANIZATION IS CONDUCTING THIS TYPE OF TRIAL WITH THIS POPULATION. WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDS, WE WANT TO TEST THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTRANASAL INSULIN IN TREATING LEWY BODY DEMENTIA AND IN SUPPORTING THE MEMORY FUNCTION IN PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE. GENERAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CENTER HAVE BEEN USED TO FURTHER THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTRANASAL DEFEROXAMINE (DFO). OUR RESEARCH WITH ANIMAL MODELS OF ALZHEIMER'S HAS SHOWN THAT DFO CAN BE EFFECTIVELY DELIVERED THROUGH THE NOSE WITH SUBSEQUENT IMPROVEMENTS TO MEMORY AND MINIMAL SIDE EFFECTS. THE CENTER CONTINUES ITS WORK WITH ANIMAL MODELS OF ALZHEIMER'S TO GAUGE THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF THE TREATMENT AS IT WORKS TOWARD FUTURE APPROVAL FOR HUMAN CLINICAL TRIALS. IN ADDITION, WE ARE TESTING THE EFFECTS OF DFO ON OTHER BRAIN DISORDERS. OUR INITIAL RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE TREATMENT CAN IMPROVE MOTOR DYSFUNCTION IN ANIMAL MODELS OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE. FINALLY, WE ARE SEEKING FUNDING TO TEST DFO IN ANIMAL MODELS OF STROKE AND WANT TO EXTEND THIS WORK TO TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND LEWY BODY DEMENTIA. FINDING WAYS TO IDENTIFY, TREAT, AND PREVENT ALZHEIMER'S SYMPTOMS- GENERAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CENTER ARE HELPING FUND THE MINNESOTA MEMORY PROJECT, AN ONGOING REGISTRY THAT FOLLOWS ADULTS WITH AND WITHOUT DIAGNOSED MEMORY LOSS IN ORDER TO COLLECT INFORMATION ON AGE-RELATED MEMORY CHANGES. THIS INFORMATION WILL HELP PHYSICIANS DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN MEMORY LOSS THAT IS COMMON WITH AGING AND SYMPTOMS THAT MAY INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF DEMENTIA. IT COULD ALSO HELP IDENTIFY INTERVENTIONS TO SLOW AGE-RELATED MEMORY LOSS. IN ADDITION, THE PROJECT COLLECTS INFORMATION FROM CAREGIVERS ABOUT THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH EFFECTS RELATED TO CARING FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH MEMORY LOSS. GENERAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CENTER ALSO HELPED FUND THE MEMORY PATIENT RESOURCE AND EDUCATION PROGRAM (PREP), WHICH STUDIED HOW A HIGHER LEVEL OF SUPPORT COULD BENEFIT NEWLY DIAGNOSED ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. IT IS RARE FOR NEWLY DIAGNOSED ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS TO RECEIVE THE SAME LEVEL OF EDUCATION AND SUPPORT FROM THEIR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AS PATIENTS WITH OTHER CHRONIC CONDITIONS, SUCH AS DIABETES. AS A RESULT, THEIR HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE OFTEN SUFFER. TO BETTER SUPPORT SUCH PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, MEMORY PREP EMBEDDED A SOCIAL WORKER WITHIN OUR SYSTEM OF CARE FOR SUCH INDIVIDUALS. IT WAS OUR BELIEF THAT SUCH SUPPORT WOULD HELP PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES LEAD A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE AND AVOID EXPENSIVE HEALTH CRISES, WHICH WOULD ULTIMATELY SAVE COSTS. THIS WOULD ENCOURAGE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO REIMBURSE SUCH SUPPORT IN THE FUTURE. RESULTS OF MEMORY PREP WERE POSITIVE: THE INTERVENTION BOOSTED THE KNOWLEDGE CAREGIVERS OF PATIENTS HAD REGARDING ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, PROVIDED EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TO PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AND SPURRED THE COMPLETION OF CARE PLANNING (E.G. POWER OF ATTORNEY, DRIVING AND SAFETY PLANS AND THE USE OF SUPPORT GROUPS). NINETY-THREE PERCENT OF MEMORY PREP PARTICIPANTS WERE LIKELY TO RECOMMEND THE PROGRAM TO OTHERS. OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, WE WORKED WITH RESIDENTS OF A LOCAL ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY TO TEST THE EFFECTS OF AROMATHERAPY ON THE SLEEP DISRUPTION AND AGITATION LEVEL OF ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS. THIS WORK WAS MADE POSSIBLE WITH THE HELP OF DONATIONS. DISRUPTION OF SLEEP IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON REASONS PEOPLE WITH MEMORY LOSS ARE PLACED IN SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES; IT WAS BELIEVED THAT AROMATHERAPY WOULD HELP PATIENTS SLEEP BETTER AND RELAX, HELPING THEM REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES LONGER. RESULTS OF OUR STUDY WERE POSITIVE: ON AVERAGE, PEOPLE WHO RECEIVED LAVENDER SLEPT 42 MINUTES MORE PER NIGHT AND HAD GREATER SLEEP EFFICIENCY THAN THOSE WHO RECEIVED THE PLACEBO. IN MARCH 2016 WE BEGAN GIVING AROMATHERAPY PATCHES TO CLINIC PATIENTS VISITING OUR MEMORY CLINIC WHO ARE BEING EVALUATED FOR SYMPTOMS OF MEMORY LOSS. WE HOPE THIS WILL HELP DECREASE THIS POTENTIALLY STRESSFUL EXPERIENCE. THE HEALTHPARTNERS CENTER FOR MEMORY AND AGING AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA MEDICAL SCHOOL HAVE JOINED FORCES TO CREATE "PARTNERS IN DEMENTIA," A PROGRAM THAT PAIRS FIRST YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS WITH PATIENTS EXPERIENCING MILD TO MODERATE ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. AS PART OF THE PROGRAM, STUDENTS MEET UP WITH THEIR MENTORS FOR FOUR HOURS PER MONTH FOR A YEAR. BY EXPOSING FIRST YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS TO DIAGNOSED PATIENTS, IT IS OUR EXPECTATION THAT A GREATER NUMBER OF TRAINEES WILL CHOOSE SPECIALTIES THAT INVOLVE TREATING ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. IT ALSO DE-STIGMATIZES DEMENTIA, ALLOWING STUDENTS TO APPRECIATE THE ENTIRE PERSON THEY CARE FOR AND BECOME LESS FEARFUL OF MAKING A DIAGNOSIS. AT THE END OF THE COURSE, WE HOPE THAT STUDENT PARTICIPANTS WILL APPRECIATE THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DIAGNOSIS PRIOR TO CRISIS DEVELOPMENT, THE ROLE OF COGNITIVE- AND SOCIALLY-STIMULATING ACTIVITIES IN A PATIENT'S DAILY ROUTINE, AND THE FACT THAT SIGNIFICANT MEASURES CAN BE TAKEN TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS. THE PROGRAM ALSO EMPOWERS INDIVIDUALS WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AS MENTORS AND EDUCATORS OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS. IN JUNE 2016, THE FOUNDATION HOSTED THE 6TH ANNUAL ALZHEIMER'S FUNDRAISING BREAKFAST, WHICH RAISED MONEY TO BENEFIT ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH AND CARE. MORE THAN 400 COMMUNITY MEMBERS ATTENDED THE EVENT, WHICH RAISED $160,898. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A CANCER CARE: WITH THE HELP OF CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS, HEALTHPARTNERS AND REGIONS CANCER CARE CENTERS (THE CENTERS) PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF SERVICES TO PREVENT, DIAGNOSE AND TREAT CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS. THE CENTERS ALSO HELP PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES NAVIGATE CANCER, FROM BEFORE A DIAGNOSIS IS MADE TO AFTER TREATMENT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED. THEY DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO COMFORT PATIENTS AND VISITORS AND MAKE THEIR CARE CONVENIENT. THE FINANCIAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR SUCH HOLISTIC CARE ONLY GOES SO FAR. THE CENTERS ALSO SEE A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF UNINSURED PATIENTS AND PATIENTS INSURED VIA GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAN OTHER LOCAL PROVIDERS, AND THIS LEADS TO HIGHER LEVELS OF CHARITY CARE. THIS MAKES THE CENTERS MORE DEPENDENT ON CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO FUND SPECIAL PROGRAMMING SUCH AS PATIENT EDUCATION, MEDICAL RESEARCH, BASIC NEEDS ASSISTANCE, INTEGRATIVE THERAPIES, THE CONTINUING EDUCATION OF STAFF, SUPPORT GROUPS, A CANCER LIBRARY AND MORE. IN 2016 THE FOUNDATION RAISED $1,660,596 TO SUPPORT THE CENTERS. CANCER RESEARCH- WHEN CANCER STRIKES, PATIENTS NEED THE HOPE THAT COMES WITH ACCESS TO THE MOST ADVANCED TREATMENTS. MANY WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE LATEST CLINICAL TRIALS OF NEW TREATMENTS. WE ARE ALREADY A LEADING PROVIDER OF CANCER RESEARCH. NOW, WITH HELP OF DONATIONS, WE WILL ACCELERATE THE PROGRAM WITH A PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON EARLY-STAGE RESEARCH. THIS EXPANSION WILL MAKE US A REGIONAL RESOURCE FOR THE LATEST CANCER RESEARCH. AS A RESULT, LOCAL RESIDENTS WILL HAVE GREATER ACCESS TO THE LATEST BREAKTHROUGH THERAPIES. EASIER ACCESS TO CLINICAL TRIALS WILL ALLOW PATIENTS TO FOCUS LESS ON THE DETAILS OF THEIR TREATMENT AND MORE ON THEIR DAILY LIVES. THIS ACCESS WILL BE ESPECIALLY VALUABLE TO THE MANY LOW-INCOME PATIENTS WE SERVE, SINCE SUCH PATIENTS OFTEN DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO ACCESS TRIALS ELSEWHERE YET DESERVE THE SAME ACCESS TO THE NEWEST TREATMENTS. IN 2016, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $1,538,430 FOR THE CANCER RESEARCH PROGRAM. OF THIS AMOUNT, $1,065,255 WAS RAISED AT THE 27TH ANNUAL WINE AUCTION, WHICH WAS HELD IN SEPTEMBER. HARDSHIP ASSISTANCE- TREATMENT FOR CANCER CAN INTRODUCE CONSIDERABLE EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL STRESS INTO THE LIVES OF OUR PATIENTS. WITH THE SUPPORT OF DONATIONS, WE PROVIDE BASIC NEEDS ASSISTANCE TO THOSE WHO EXPERIENCE TEMPORARY FINANCIAL NEEDS WHILE UNDERGOING CANCER TREATMENT. WE RECEIVED $21,334 FROM THE WILLIAM AND CONNIE CARROLL ENDOWMENT FUND OF THE SAINT PAUL FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT PATIENTS WHO ARE UNDERGOING TREATMENT AND WHO LIVE IN THE TWIN CITIES EAST METRO AREA. TO SUPPORT THE BASIC NEEDS OF BREAST CANCER PATIENTS, WE RECEIVED $10,000 FROM BOTH THE HOPE CHEST FOR BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION AND SUSAN G. KOMEN MINNESOTA. WE ALSO USE SOME GENERAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CENTERS TO PROVIDE BASIC NEEDS ASSISTANCE. HEALTHPARTNERS HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE: HEALTHPARTNERS HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE SUPPORTS PATIENTS AND THEIR LOVED ONES WHO ARE DEALING WITH A SERIOUS OR LIFE-LIMITING ILLNESS. IT ALSO HELPS FAMILY MEMBERS THROUGH THE GRIEVING PROCESS AFTER THEIR LOVED ONES HAVE DIED. CONTRIBUTIONS HELP FUND SERVICES NOT COVERED BY REIMBURSEMENT, INCLUDING MASSAGE AND MUSIC THERAPY, PROGRAM SUPPLIES AND THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF STAFF. IN 2016 THE FOUNDATION SECURED $1,395,314 FOR THE PROGRAM. THIS INCLUDED AN ESTATE COMMITMENT WORTH $1,250,000 AND $104,654 IN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE SHARING AT WORK EMPLOYEE GIVING CAMPAIGN OF REGIONS AND HEALTHPARTNERS. THE EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTION INCLUDED A HEALTHPARTNERS MATCH. EMERGENCY MEDICINE: FOR DECADES, REGIONS HAS BEEN THE LEADER IN EMERGENCY CARE FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE EAST METRO AND ST. CROIX VALLEY. IN 2016, THE REGIONS EMERGENCY CENTER HAD NEARLY 87,000 PATIENT VISITS AND IT ANNUALLY SERVES MORE THAN 50 PERCENT MORE PATIENTS THAN ANY OTHER HOSPITAL IN THE EAST METRO. BUSINESSES RELY ON THE ER TO TREAT EMPLOYEES INJURED ON THE JOB, AND THE ER PLAYS A CENTRAL ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY'S PREPARATION FOR LARGE-SCALE DISASTERS. IN 2016, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $1,116,527 ON BEHALF OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE'S PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS. THE AMBULANCE ARRIVAL CENTER- AMBULANCES ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF A LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER LIKE REGIONS, TRANSPORTING SERIOUSLY ILL AND INJURED PATIENTS AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AS POSSIBLE TO THE HOSPITAL WHILE ALLOWING PARAMEDICS TO PROVIDE EXPERT CARE ALONG THE WAY. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR FORMER AMBULANCE GARAGE WAS 50 YEARS OLD AND ITS ENTRANCE DID NOT ALLOW CLEARANCE FOR NEW, TALLER AMBULANCES. IN 2016 WE BEGAN CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW AMBULANCE ARRIVAL CENTER, TO OPEN IN THE SPRING OF 2017. THE CENTER WILL HAVE A CLEARANCE OF MORE THAN 14 FEET, THE SAME AS BRIDGES ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM, SO ALL AMBULANCES WILL BE ABLE TO ENTER IT FOR MANY DECADES TO COME. IT WILL ALSO PREPARE THE ER FOR FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND CONTAIN A SMALL DECONTAMINATION CENTER TO QUICKLY, SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY TREAT PATIENTS WHO HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL OR NUCLEAR CONTAMINANTS OR HAVE CONTRACTED EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES SUCH AS THE EBOLA VIRUS. THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED A $1 MILLION CONTRIBUTION FROM THE FRED C. AND KATHERINE B. ANDERSEN FOUNDATION TO HELP FUND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE AMBULANCE ARRIVAL CENTER. THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ENDOWMENT- THE FOUNDATION RAISED $98,246 FOR THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ENDOWMENT IN 2016. INTEREST FROM THE ENDOWMENT SUPPORTS EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND FACULTY DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT.

IN 2016, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $1,011,797 TO SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVES. THE LEE AND PENNY ANDERSON HEROCARE PROGRAM FOR VETERANS- SOLDIERS EXPERIENCE SITUATIONS IN COMBAT THAT CIVILIANS COULD NOT IMAGINE, AND MANY SUFFER MENTAL WOUNDS YEARS AFTER THEIR MILITARY SERVICE HAS ENDED. YET OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS NOT SET UP TO BEST CARE FOR THEM. THE HEROCARE PROGRAM HELPS VETERANS RECOVER FROM THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF COMBAT, ADJUST TO THEIR CIVILIAN LIVES AND THRIVE. AS PART OF THE PROGRAM, WE OFFER THE VERY BEST, MILITARY-INFORMED CARE WHILE ALSO HELPING VETERANS NAVIGATE THE MANY COMMUNITY SERVICES AVAILABLE TO THEM ONCE THEY LEAVE OUR FACILITY, INCLUDING THE SERVICES OF THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION. THE PROGRAM WENT LIVE IN JUNE 2014 AND HAD A GREAT START: WE ORIGINALLY PREDICTED THAT THE PROGRAM WOULD SERVE 60 PATIENTS ANNUALLY, YET IT SERVED APPROXIMATELY 900 IN 2016. WITH HELP FROM CONTRIBUTIONS, THE PROGRAM FURTHER EXPANDED INTO THE HOSPITAL'S EMERGENCY CENTER AND MEDICAL UNITS, THE REGIONS ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE PROGRAM (ADAP) AND HEALTHPARTNERS MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS. IN 2016 THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED $550,276 IN NEW CONTRIBUTIONS FOR HEROCARE. MAKE IT OK- IN 2016 THE FOUNDATION RAISED $236,782 FOR MAKE IT OK, A CAMPAIGN TO FIGHT THE STIGMA ASSOCIATED WITH MENTAL ILLNESSES. REGIONS WORKED WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON MENTAL ILLNESS (NAMI) MINNESOTA, TWIN CITIES PUBLIC TELEVISION (TPT) AND THE ADVERTISING FIRM PRESTON KELLY TO CREATE MAKE IT OK. THE CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED IN MAY 2013 WITH ADVERTISING THAT INCLUDED TELEVISION, RADIO, PRINT, SOCIAL MEDIA, ONLINE VIDEO, INTERNET PURCHASES AND TRANSIT SHELTERS. TWO MORE AD CAMPAIGNS WERE LAUNCHED IN 2016. MAKE IT OK ALSO TARGETS BUSINESSES, HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS, POLICE DEPARTMENTS, COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, COMMUNITIES OF FAITH AND OTHER SECTORS OF OUR SOCIETY FOR A DEEPER DIVE INTO THE TOPICS OF MENTAL ILLNESS AND STIGMA. FINALLY, WE PARTNER CLOSELY WITH COMMUNITIES ACROSS MINNESOTA AND BEYOND THAT COALESCE TO FIGHT STIGMA, WORKING WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS TO DESIGN LOCAL APPROACHES AND ENGAGE DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS. THE MAKE IT OK CAMPAIGN IS COMMUNITY BASED AND NOT BRANDED BY HEALTHPARTNERS, SO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME MATERIALS. IN 2016 A $235,500 CONTRIBUTION FROM AN ANONYMOUS DONOR TO MAKE IT OK FUNDED A COMMUNITY COORDINATOR POSITION, ENHANCEMENTS TO THE CAMPAIGN'S WEBSITE AND AN EVALUATION OF THE CAMPAIGN'S RESULTS. HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAM- HEALTH AND WELLNESS RECEIVES STATE FUNDING TO PROVIDE OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING PEOPLE, INCLUDING INDIVIDUAL, COUPLE, GROUP AND FAMILY THERAPY; CONSULTATION TO OTHER PROVIDERS; AND A COMMUNITY WORKSHOP.
