Caring for Our Community Today and TomorrowSince moving to Winchester in 1965, Jack and Suzie Reno have
been leaders in philanthropy and volunteerism, extending their
energy and generosity to Winchester Hospital and other causes
near and far. Jack has served on the hospital’s board and Suzie
was a founding committee member of Big Steps for Little People
and the newly established Women’s Leadership Council.
The Renos’ latest leadership gift to the community is the
Reno Family Legacy Challenge, in which the couple will give
Winchester Hospital up to $100,000 to honor any donor
making a planned gift this year. The challenge ends Sept. 30.
“We know others feel this same way, and that is why we decided
to offer the challenge,” Suzie Reno said. “It is an open invitation to
everyone who sees the benefits of first-rate care close to home.”
Even though they are longtime area residents, the Renos have
never taken their community hospital for granted and have
always felt fortunate to have skilled doctors and innovative
programs available close by.
“Jack and Suzie have always been outstanding role models in
our community,” said Arlan Fuller, MD, Clinical Vice President
for Oncology Services Integration and Academic Affiliations,
who, along with Jonathan Adler, MD, was honored by the
Renos with an earlier gift to the Center for Cancer Care. “We are
grateful for their leadership and for the participation of everyone
joining their challenge.”
A Legacy of Care
You can improve the future of health care in your community
with the philanthropic plans you make today. When you include
Winchester Hospital in your planned giving, you make an
enduring gift to your family, friends and neighbors.
Planned gifts can include tribute gifts through a will, charitable
trusts or charitable gift annuities.
To make sure your gift is counted (and magnified!) in the Reno Family Legacy Challenge, which expires Sept. 30, please contact Maribeth Canning, Vice President of the Winchester Hospital Foundation, at 781.756.2156 or [email protected].

UPDATE:
Mother Baby Unit Renovations UnderwayWomen who give birth at Winchester Hospital will soon find a refreshed and
updated unit, with improved lighting, floors, walls and other infrastructure.
These enhancements are part of a $2 million investment in a Maternal
and Child Health Initiative, which supports the hospital’s commitment to
providing the very best care for parents and their newborns close to home.
This includes award-winning lactation services for nursing mothers, a
program that promotes safe sleep for babies and efforts to earn the
Baby-Friendly Hospital designation from the World Health Organization
and UNICEF. The journey to become a Baby-Friendly Hospital was started
with a very generous gift from Charlene and Richard Williams in memory
of their daughter, Grace.
To learn how you can support this important initiative, please contact
Maribeth Canning, Vice President of the Winchester Hospital Foundation,
at 781.756.2156 or [email protected].
Cummings Foundation Grant Provides Critical Support

Joyce Cummings at a Women’s Leadership
Council event last fall at Wright-Locke Farm.
“Farm to Table: Eating for Your Health”
featured a panel of Winchester Hospital experts
discussing how dietary intervention can be used
as a complement to conventional medicine.
Guests enjoyed a delicious assortment of hors
d’oeuvres prepared by Vittorio Ettore, chef
and owner of Bistro 5 and A Tavola.
The refurbishment of the Mother Baby Unit is just one of the
projects Woburn-based Cummings Foundation is supporting
through a $500,000 multiyear pledge to Winchester Hospital.
The gift will also enrich cancer care services, nursing education,
and maternal and child health programs.
“Winchester Hospital has long been an invaluable part of the
community, providing top-notch care to local residents, including
many of Cummings Properties’ employees and clients,” said Cummings
Properties President and CEO Dennis Clarke. “We are so pleased to
support the hospital as it continues to evolve its exceptional care
to meet the expectations of the community it serves.”

Winchester Named a Community Value 100® Hospital
Winchester Hospital was recently
designated a Community Value Five Star®
facility by health care financial consulting
firm Cleverly & Associates. The hospital’s
score on the firm’s Community Value
Index (CVI) placed it within the top 20
percent of the study’s “Community Value
100” — the 100 highest scoring facilities
in the country in terms of the value
they provide to the community.

Hospital Earns Leapfrog Safety AccoladeOutpacing many other community hospitals in the area, Winchester Hospital
recently received an “A” on the Fall 2015 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Score Report.
This well-regarded and sought-after recognition reflects the hospital’s overall
performance in keeping patients safe from preventable harm and medical errors.
Once again, loyal Winton Club members pulled
out all the stops in January, hosting their 96th
annual cabaret show and raising about $50,000
for Winchester Hospital. “Color the Night,”
chaired and produced by Rosemary McCormack,
was a golden success. The audience was
delighted by performances from talented
staff and community members. Spirited Winton
Club members did not disappoint with their
famous tambourine routine and synchronized
march. This year’s proceeds will be directed to
the Mother Baby Unit, A Caring Place boutique
and the NICHE program.

Soirée for Hope Advances Cancer CareHundreds of Winchester Hospital’s loyal supporters gathered
November 13 for the Soirée for Hope in the City of Light gala,
raising nearly $370,000 for advancements in cancer care. Held
at the newly renovated Boston Park Plaza Hotel, the event’s fun
foreign flair immersed attendees in French culture and cuisine.
“The funds raised by the soirée are crucial to ensuring our patients have access to state-of-the-art technology,
innovative treatments, integrative therapies and other cancer support services, all close to home,” said
Kelley Cornell, MD, Associate Medical Director of the Breast Care Center. “We are very appreciative of
the wonderful support we receive year after year from our sponsors, donors and staff.”
Please see a list of our generous sponsors below.
Engaging Patients One at a Time
WinACO Is a Top PerformerThe Winchester Community Accountable Care
Organization (WinACO) finished first nationally
with the highest percentage of savings over and
above the target set by the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS). WinACO also had
the third-highest savings per patient in the
country, with the most savings per patient in
New England, according to CMS.
“These results are extremely encouraging
because it means we’re making sure our
patients stay well and out of the hospital,”
said Winchester Hospital CEO Dale Lodge.
“The WinACO is proof that we can provide
a better level of coordinated care that will
bring better value for the health care dollar.”
ACOs are groups of hospitals, doctors and other
health care providers who work together to
coordinate care and keep Medicare patients —
particularly those with chronic illnesses — healthy
while keeping costs down and quality high.
Winchester Garden Clubs Plant Hope
Daffodils, the symbolic flower of hope, will be poking through the
ground in the Center for Cancer Care’s healing garden this spring, thanks
to the generosity of the Winchester Garden Club and the Winchester
Home and Garden Club. Last fall, dozens of volunteers pulled on gloves
and dug in hundreds of bulbs, creating a visual statement of support for
patients and family members as they knelt side-by-side in the earth.
For gardener Marsha Lamson, the bulbs held extra significance. “I’ve
been inside the cancer center for treatment,” she said. “You can’t help
but look at this beautiful garden and feel more peaceful.”
The healing garden can be seen from the windows in the infusion area,
where patients and family members may spend considerable time.
Patients and caregivers may also reflect on the serene vista from one
of the garden’s benches or stroll along the paths to enjoy a close-up
of the sunny blossoms.

Winchester Hospital has received several prestigious recognitions that
reflect its commitment to providing high-quality care for older adults
as well as exceptional home care.
The hospital earned the Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem
Elders (NICHE) designation, the leading nurse-driven program
designed to help hospitals and other health care organizations
improve the care of older adults.
“Nearly half of our inpatients at Winchester Hospital are over age 65,”
said Marlene Williamson, Director of Inpatient Services. “These
patients — beloved parents and grandparents, valued community
role models — often come to us with very unique and specific
health care needs. We want to offer customized nursing practices
that are proven to best meet the needs of this population.”
The NICHE designation shows the exemplary geriatric-sensitive
care nursing staff provide with specialized attention to such
issues as falls, adverse medicine events, pressure ulcers and pain
management. This initiative was supported by the Winton Club,
which earmarked a financial gift both last year and this year to
support the NICHE program application and staff education.
The hospital’s home care agency, Winchester Home Care,
received an outstanding 4.5 out of five stars in a recent
report by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,
placing it far above the state average of 3.5. The agency
was also named one of the nation’s “Top 500” on the
2015 HomeCare Elite™ list compiled by the National

“We know others feel this same way, and that is why we decided
to offer the challenge,” Suzie Reno said. “It is an open invitation to
everyone who sees the benefits of first-rate care close to home.”
Even though they are longtime area residents, the Renos have
never taken their community hospital for granted and have
always felt fortunate to have skilled doctors and innovative
programs available close by.
“Jack and Suzie have always been outstanding role models in
our community,” said Arlan Fuller, MD, Clinical Vice President
for Oncology Services Integration and Academic Affiliations,
who, along with Jonathan Adler, MD, was honored by the
Renos with an earlier gift to the Center for Cancer Care. “We are
grateful for their leadership and for the participation of everyone
joining their challenge.”

UPDATE:
Mother Baby Unit Renovations UnderwayWomen who give birth at Winchester Hospital will soon find a refreshed and
updated unit, with improved lighting, floors, walls and other infrastructure.
These enhancements are part of a $2 million investment in a Maternal

providing the very best care for parents and their newborns close to home.
This includes award-winning lactation services for nursing mothers, a
program that promotes safe sleep for babies and efforts to earn the
Baby-Friendly Hospital designation from the World Health Organization
and UNICEF. The journey to become a Baby-Friendly Hospital was started
with a very generous gift from Charlene and Richard Williams in memory
of their daughter, Grace.
