the campaign for providenceInvesting in Excellence

Be an opener of doors to those who come after thee.—Ralph Waldo Emerson

World-class health care, close to home. We have an extraordinary opportunity to bring this standard of healthcare excellence to Everett and Snohomish County. What’s more, we are close to achieving it!

Providence Regional Medical Center has made enormous strides in just a few short years. In June 2011, with unprecedented donor support, Providence opened the state-of-the-art, 12-story, 680,000-square-foot Cymbaluk Medical Tower. It is the first significant step in the medical center’s transformation to a 21st century healthcare facility – and one that will enable Providence to keep pace with advances in medicine, the growth of our community and the needs of our most vulnerable citizens.

There is, however, more to be done. If we are to fully realize our vision to be one of the most advanced healthcare institutions in the Pacific Northwest, Providence must take additional steps to upgrade existing facilities, expand technology and enhance program quality. This, together with the work that has already been completed, will greatly benefit our families, neighbors and friends, and ensure that the highest quality medical care is available, right here, for decades to come.

The Campaign for Providence is a historic, $25 million fundraising effort to support the important needs of Providence Regional Medical Center. Its success to date has enabled us to achieve so much—including critical funding for the new medical tower. But we are not finished. The second and final phase of the campaign will help provide the financial resources necessary to complete our vision and further raise the threshold for medical excellence in our region.

We invite you to join the hundreds of friends and supporters who have already contributed to this extraordinary campaign, and ask you to consider the part you might play in bringing world-class health care, close to home. Your gift will be an investment in our community and an impactful contribution to the well-being of our citizens.

Sincerely,

Harv & Jan Jubie

Committee Chairs The Campaign for Providence

The Campaign for Providence is a

historic, $25 million fundraising effort

to support the important needs of

Providence Regional Medical Center.

Dear Friend:

1

When the Sisters of Providence founded Providence Hospital more than 100 years ago,

their mission was simple but profound: they would comfort and care for the poor and vulnerable. Through the decades, the organization has remained focused on this mission, evolving alongside the community as it has grown and changed.

Today, Providence Regional Medical Center serves residents throughout five counties in Northwest

Washington with comprehensive, not-for-profit, mission-based health care. As Northwest Washington's tertiary care referral center, Providence maintains some of the most advanced clinical capabilities available today.

Providence Regional is recognized, year after year, with national awards demonstrating clinical excellence and quality care.

Transforming Health Care for a Growing Region

2

Guided by the philosophy of the Sisters of Providence, Providence Regional faithfully

honors their vision of caring for the poor and vulnerable in the communities we serve. In 2011, the organization provided $69 million in Community Benefit, including:

• $27.2 million to cover unfunded portion of government-sponsored Medicaid

• $26.9 million of free and discounted care for those in need

• $10.5 million to subsidize clinical services essential to the Mission of Providence

• $3.9 million to subsidize medical education and research

• $511,000 of free community programs and services

For Each Challenge, a Solution

Providence Regional serves five counties that are undergoing intense growth and rapid change. The proportion of older residents, in particular, is growing at a fast pace, placing increased demands on the healthcare system.

At the same time, Providence Regional must adapt to the many rapid changes and economic realities of healthcare delivery and advancing technology.

The medical center has made great strides in addressing these challenges. The centerpiece of this historic effort is the new, world-class Cymbaluk Medical Tower, opened in June 2011. The Tower marks a substantial leap forward,

advancing Providence from a 20th to a 21st century medical facility. Modern expansion, with a focus on technology and program excellence, is the solution needed to keep the medical center on the leading edge for decades to come.

To complement the new Tower’s standard of excellence, many original hospital facilities, which served the community well for so many years but no longer fully meet its needs, are being substantially modernized and upgraded. When these upgrades are complete, Providence Regional’s Colby Campus will be one of the most advanced facilities in the western United States, and a cohesive, world-class center for healthcare excellence for the region.

The opening of the Cymbaluk Medical Tower in June 2011 was an extraordinary

milestone for our community. Every aspect of the facility—from the architectural design to the innovative ways patients are cared for—has been inspired by the legacy of excellence for which Providence is known.

This achievement required incredible commitment and investment on the part of many people and organizations, from all walks of life, from every corner of this region. Generous donors—from individuals, charitable foundations and local businesses, to members of the medical center family, including employees, physicians and board members—joined together to support Providence Regional in creating one of the most advanced clinical facilities in the western United States.

The result of this work is something to behold.

A Masterpiece Unveiled:

the Cymbaluk Medical Tower

4

Family & Patient Centered Rooms and Amenities

A philosophy called “Patient and Family Centered Care” is the cornerstone of the patient care experience at Providence Regional, and the Cymbaluk Medical Tower was built around this innovative concept.

For people with medical conditions requiring an overnight stay, the Tower’s Acute Care unit offers comfort and clinical excellence to patients and their families. With 144 patient rooms, the Acute Care department encompasses four floors of the Tower. These floors are organized into different specialty-care units, including cardiac telemetry, medical telemetry, neuro-telemetry, stroke, neurosurgery, orthopedics and general surgery.

Spacious, mostly private rooms are designed to meet the needs of patients, family members and medical professionals.

State-of-the-Art Diagnostic Imaging Center

Whether patients are hospitalized in the Tower as inpatients, or visit the facility for routine imaging appointments, they have access to some of the most advanced digital imaging technology on the market today—including the world’s first high-definition, ultra-low-dose CT scanner. In fact, $20 million has been invested in the Tower’s imaging equipment alone.

In addition to its advanced equipment, the Phil and Kelly Johnson Diagnostic Imaging Center has been designed for patients’ convenience, comfort and privacy.

Imaging equipment is now also located right in Emergency Services. As a result, patients who require an X-ray or CT scan no longer need to move to another location for their exam.

5

Leading-Edge Surgical & Interventional Services

The Tower features a state-of-the-art Surgical & Interventional Services unit that ushers in an entirely new age of surgical capability and innovation. Four previously separate clinical units—Surgery, Interventional Radiology, Cardiac Catheterization Labs and Electrophysiology Labs—are located together in the Tower’s surgical suites.

Rooms contain digital audio-visual equipment, so physicians can easily view their patient’s digital information, including scans, images, reports, data and more, via screens on the wall.

In addition, the department is designed for patient and family privacy, with private pre- and post-op rooms that have space for two family members, and sliding glass doors for added privacy.

A New Emergency Department

An entire floor in the Tower—a space larger than an NFL football field—is devoted to Emergency Services. This department has 79 large, private treatment rooms and 60,000 square feet of space, all designed to help staff treat patients quickly, with minimal, if any, waiting time, and to keep patients and family members comfortable during their visit.

Emergency Services includes dedicated treatment rooms for triage, major emergencies, secure holding and trauma cases. And thanks to its covered patient drop-off area and entrance, a dedicated ambulance entrance and rooftop helicopter pad, getting to Emergency Services is quick and easy at a time when every second counts.

There are times when a life hangs on a string; when a series of unpredictable events determines an outcome of life or death. In these

moments, the value of superior medicine becomes crystal clear.

On October 24, 2011, at Snohomish High School, 14-year-old April Lutz was stabbed in the heart by a fellow student with a knife. What followed was nothing short of amazing, as a team of medical professionals’ priceless skill saved a life in jeopardy.

After April arrived at Providence Regional Medical Center that day, a team of six physicians, including Drs. Bill Finley, Joseph Austin and Kimberly Costas, along with the entire trauma staff on duty, were called into action to treat April’s 13 stab wounds. The most severe wound was just four millimeters short of severing a main artery. April’s heart stopped three times before the trauma team could stabilize her.

On this day, it could have gone either way—but thankfully, April lived. And almost a half year later, her wounds have healed and April’s life is starting to return back to that of a normal, healthy teenager.

Advanced Capability Saves Lives

With the opening of the Cymbaluk Medical Tower, Snohomish County gained one of the most advanced emergency care facilities in the western United States.

Along with the Providence trauma team’s expertise and speed, the technology and equipment in the Tower’s new Emergency Department saves lives—like April’s—every single day.

This level of clinical excellence is not available in every community. In those moments when an accident, sudden or severe illness, or senseless attack invade an ordinary life, world-class health care close to home can tip the scales toward survival.

Designed for today, but with tomorrow in mind, the Cymbaluk Medical Tower includes space reserved specifically for future

needs. As patient volumes and technology evolve, the Tower’s interior spaces can be adapted for inevitable growth and change.

Surgical Capacity

Surgery is one of the most rapidly advancing fields in medicine, and it is difficult to foresee the exact shape that operating suites and advancing technology will take—even in the next decade.

The 17 operating and procedural suites on the Tower’s interventional and surgical services floors were designed to be significantly larger than average to accommodate today’s advanced equipment and to be flexible enough to add future technology as it becomes available. This department also has space to expand from 17 to up to 28 operating suites as the community—and demand for services—grows.

Room for More Inpatient Stays

Floors 5 and 9 of the Cymbaluk Medical Tower were “shelled” and left unfinished, earmarked as acute patient care rooms reserved for future expansion. A number of inpatient units remain today in existing hospital buildings elsewhere on the campus; many of these will move into the Tower eventually. The floors will open to serve the community as the region’s population grows and the need arises.

The entire floors five and nine of the Tower are currently unconstructed space but will become finished patient rooms when extra capacity is needed to care for our growing region.

Creating a Campus of Care

Since a medical center’s campus is home to a wide and diverse range of specialty services,

careful physical planning is imperative. Patients, who may be ill or injured when they visit the campus, must be able to access all the services they need quickly and conveniently in a seamless continuum of care.

In addition, clinical disciplines must be located in close proximity allowing medical professionals and staff to work together in an integrated approach to delivering the very best course of treatment for each patient.

10

Building a Bridge A new sky bridge spanning 13th Street links

the Cymbaluk Medical Tower, original hospital, and the 1717 Building, which houses the Providence Regional Cancer Partnership and the Cranial, Spine and Joint Clinic.

This sky bridge serves a critical role in connecting various centers of care on campus. Patients and staff will be able to move quickly and easily from one corner of the campus to another, without being exposed to the weather or having to cross a busy street.

Renewing Earlier Spaces

The Cymbaluk Medical Tower will remain a world-class, leading-edge facility for decades—thanks to a design that built in flexibility for growth and technological advancements. However, a number of clinical units on the campus are located in existing buildings that require major upgrades. These units will be renovated to bring them to a state-of-the-art level that complements the campus’ newer facilities.

Among the units that have been or will soon be upgraded are:

• Pediatric Unit

• Clinical Evaluation Unit

• Medical Renal Unit

• Oncology Unit

11

On any given day on the Providence Regional campus, thousands of people gather to receive

health services, work, visit friends and family, and conduct other daily activities. At the heart of the campus, Providence Regional has constructed a unique and welcoming public concourse removed from the patient care areas, where everyone is welcome to meet, take a break and find access to services they need during their day.

Where the former Emergency Department was once located, a contemporary new concourse takes its place, serving as the central hub of the campus. Spacious and contemporary in style, the concourse offers a variety of modern amenities and retail services for patients, visitors and staff alike.

A modern café provides a diverse menu with stations that include world cuisine, home-cooked favorites, and a range of other options. The comfortable and inviting dining area doubles the former cafeteria's seating capacity.

Appropriately located in the heart of the new concourse is a spacious new chapel, named Providence Ascension Chapel, offering a peaceful place of healing and reflection for patients, staff and visitors. It provides space for religious services and has several unique features, including a stained-glass window preserved from the original chapel at Providence Hospital in Seattle, and an altar, tabernacle, lectern and holy-water font handcrafted by a local artist.

The newly expanded gift shop, located adjacent to the café, is almost twice the size of the former shop. It has easy access and feature expanded merchandise for patients, families and friends.

The concourse features a new full-service, retail pharmacy that offers convenience and easy access to patients and their families who require prescription or over-the-counter medication.

Advancing

Heart & Vascular Institute

Providence Regional’s Heart & Vascular Institute offers one of the largest and most advanced cardiovascular care programs in Washington State, performing more than 5,000 diagnostic and interventional procedures annually. At the core of the Institute’s success are its nationally recognized physicians, including cardiologists, cardiac and vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists, as well as its innovative clinical programs and its leading-edge facilities, technology and equipment.

To meet the program’s rapid growth and better serve the community, Providence Regional is partnering with the Everett Clinic, community referral hospitals, and experts from Providence Health & Services to streamline patient care and ensure cutting-edge therapy. These collaborations include a rapid response program for patients having a heart attack. Additionally, our cardiac surgeons routinely collaborate with a network of other West Coast surgeons to review clinical results and discuss new approaches to ensure the highest level of care for our patients. Through an innovative partnership with Radia, Providence offers a state-of-the-art Wound Health Center so that patients with peripheral vascular disease and chronic wounds can receive care in one integrated location.

Thanks to the new Tower’s state-of-the-art facilities, equipment and technology, and the commitment of physicians and other clinicians who bring extraordinary talent and expertise

to the community, Providence has been able to advance a number of clinical programs to a level unsurpassed in this region.

Providence Regional has been recognized

as a Top 100 Cardiovascular Hospital

eight times over recent years and ranked

#1 in Washington State for overall cardiac

and vascular care for three straight years.

Providence Regional Cancer Partnership

The Providence Regional Cancer Partnership was created in 2007 through a historic collaboration of four leading medical groups—Providence Regional, The Everett Clinic, Western Washington Medical Group and Northwest Washington Radiation Oncology Associates.

The Partnership is located in a state-of-the-art facility offering patients all aspects of outpatient cancer care under one roof. It has also brought to the community some of the most sought-after cancer technology available in the region. With the opening of the Tower, cancer care has been further advanced with a refurbished and upgraded inpatient Oncology Unit located on the 3rd floor of Providence Regional’s A Wing. A sky bridge connects the 1717 Building to the facilities of the main hospital, including the inpatient Oncology Unit, Diagnostic Imaging Center, Surgery Suites and other critical services and facilities.

Neurosciences and Spine Institute

Providence Regional’s Neurosciences and Spine Institute provides a comprehensive array of leading-edge diagnostic and treatment resources for conditions affecting the brain, spine and nervous system. The Institute’s centerpiece programs are the Stroke Center and an innovative Neuro-Hospitalist Program. As the most advanced center of its kind in the North Puget Sound region, and serving as the referral center of choice for Northwest Washington, the Institute brings together the expertise and talents of more than 60 clinicians specializing in these fields.

As part of an exciting initiative to advance the Institute to a world-class level, Providence Regional has brought together leading neuro and orthopedic surgeons from around the globe, including two fellowship-trained neurosurgeons, to create a new Cranial, Spine and Joint Clinic. The new clinic will diagnose and treat head, spine, nervous system, hip and joint conditions in a new 6,300-square-foot clinical facility located in the 1717 Building on Providence’s Colby Campus.

The 1717 building is located across the street from the Cymbaluk Medical Tower and houses the Providence Regional Cancer Partnership and new Cranial, Spine & Joint Clinic. To enhance access and safety, the two buildings are connected by a sky bridge.

“We made this gift knowing we were

supporting an important resource in our community. We had no clue at the time that we were actually investing in a

service that would provide our own daughter with

life-saving care.”

On December 29, 2010, Jenae Goldfinch was on duty on the 2nd floor of the unfinished Cymbaluk Medical Tower. A project

engineer for Mortenson Construction, Jenae had gone into work that morning anticipating a routine but busy day, as she and her team helped keep construction of the Tower on schedule for its June 2011 opening.

As it turned out, her workday would be anything but routine. Jenae had a stroke that day, at age 23.

When Every Minute Counts

Jenae was fortunate to have been on site at the Providence Regional campus. She was swiftly transported next door to the Providence Emergency Department and immediately given a CT scan and tissue plasminogen activator (TPA), a potent clot-busting drug that can help stroke victims recover more fully—if it is given quickly enough after the onset of symptoms.

Jenae's care in the Providence Emergency Department may have saved her life. It certainly minimized the damage to her brain. Just five weeks after her stroke, Jenae was back on her job in the Tower, functioning at 100 percent.

The Providence Connection

Jenae’s work on the Tower wasn’t her only connection to Providence; she and her brother Joe represent the sixth generation of Providence supporters in Everett. Their father Geoff and uncle Greg operate Goldfinch Bros., a local glass company that has been a fixture in the Everett business community since 1892. The company supplied the large panels of glass for the first four floors of the Tower.

Aside from their business contributions, Geoff and his wife Carlene, and Greg and his wife Nga, have devoted countless hours as volunteers in support of the Providence mission. They also jointly donated $50,000 to Phase I of the Campaign for Providence.

“We made this gift knowing we were supporting an important resource in our community,” Geoff says. “We had no clue at the time that we were actually investing in a service that provided our own daughter with life-saving care.”

Health care is a community concern—it is a resource used by all residents at some time in their lives. Transforming health care in our region will take

support from all corners, and from all walks of life, from across the expansive region that Providence Regional serves.

The transformation to world-class health care in our community, now in its home stretch, presents an opportunity for all residents to come together for a common purpose: to ensure medical excellence in our region for decades to come.

A Vision Fulfilled…in Phases

The total cost of Providence Regional Medical Center’s campus transformation—including the new Cymbaluk Medical Tower and the renovation and upgrade of other hospital facilities—is $500 million.

Demonstrating a clear commitment to Everett and Snohomish County, Providence Regional is providing $475 million—a substantial portion of this total cost. The Campaign for Providence seeks to raise the remaining, but especially critical balance of this total—$25 million.

More than 70 community leaders, business owners, physicians and compassionate friends of Providence have come forward to serve on the Steering Committee for Phase I of the Campaign for Providence, the largest fund-raising effort ever undertaken in our community. The Steering Committee’s leadership and the generous support of so many has enabled the Campaign for Providence to surpass its Phase I goal of $15 million.

Now, Providence General Foundation is working to engage the broader community in Phase II of this effort, which will enable Providence to both achieve our historic fund-raising goal of $25 million and invest further in the health care of our citizens.

Join Us

A vision—if it is truly momentous—can be realized only through incremental steps. Historic accomplishments take dedication and persistence by many who work together, share the weight, and shape the outcome.

With immense and unprecedented support from the community, Providence Regional has made great strides toward transforming health care in the region.

The finish line is in sight, but we have not reached it yet. Beyond the Tower, needed upgrades and renovations are beginning on other parts of the campus, bringing all facilities to the state-of-the-art level that is necessary to raise the bar for health care in our region.

With this, and with our goals so closely within reach, we appeal to you.

We invite you to join with others in our community in supporting this historic effort. Please consider making a generous gift—in the spirit of Providence—to help secure the health and well-being of our community for decades to come.
