The Power of Philanthropy- Celebrating 20 Years of Caring for Gwinnett -

4 53

Gwinnett County is an amazing place that close to a million people now call home. We are diverse, progressive, and visionary. We have proven time and again that we are passionate and dedicated to doing what it takes to deliver the very best to our community.

At the heart of Gwinnett sits a hospital system that focuses every hour of every day on caring for us. Thousands of healthcare providers, doctors, nurses, associates, and volunteers work diligently to keep our healthcare system strong and vibrant so that we can all live life with vim and vigor.

The Gwinnett Hospital System did not evolve by chance. It has a powerful story, one that has inspired our community to give, care, and share for more than sixty years. It is a story of the heart—a heart that has since opened many to the power of philanthropy.

A Remarkable History

An Inspiring Heart

Olin Burnette was a little boy just 6 years old when he tragically died in 1941. He was one of six children of a dairyman who worked for Dick Hull, manager of the Irvindale Farms Dairy just outside of Duluth. Hull was married to Nora, daughter of General and Mrs. A.R. Glancy.

Devastated by Olin’s untimely death, the Hulls began a community campaign to establish a clinic in Duluth, which had no physician. The townspeople, mostly cotton farmers, contributed $450 toward the clinic. Nora was so touched by their effort that she wrote a letter to her parents about the campaign.

The Glancys, who lived in Pontiac, Michigan, knew the pain of losing a child. Only 17 years earlier, their youngest, Joan, had died of pneumonia at age 4. Nora’s letter touched their hearts, so they sent a check for $500, with the promise that every year, on Joan’s birthday, they’d send another check in her memory.

Heard Summerour, the town postmaster, inspired an epiphany in the Glancys when he asked if they could name the new clinic The Joan Glancy Memorial Clinic. The Glancys realized that this little clinic - in a hardscrabble hamlet in Georgia - was the perfect way to create a living memorial to their daughter that would serve many families for years to come.

The Joan Glancy Memorial Clinic opened in 1941 in a three-room frame cottage on the school grounds. From the first day, the clinic was inundated with patients, so General Glancy issued a challenge to the people of Duluth: Provide land and a well, and he would build them a hospital.

In 1944, the Joan Glancy Memorial Hospital opened. The presence of the hospital brought new families and a better quality of life to Duluth. The town’s economy shifted from farming to industry, dirt roads were paved, a city water system was established, and commerce grew by leaps and bounds.

In 1965, Joan Glancy Memorial Hospital joined the Gwinnett Hospital System. The love, compassion, and determination for those early Duluth residents and their generous benefactors, the Glancys, continues to define and inspire the spirit of the Gwinnett Hospital System today.

This rich history and great vision laid a foundation of caring and giving for generations to come, with a story that continues to unfold…

May our history inspire our desire today to respond and give, so we can care for the generations to come.

As Gwinnett’s hospital system grew from its humble beginnings to a multi-campus collection of healthcare facilities serving hundreds of thousands, we needed a way to bring people together to support Gwinnett Medical Center in fulfillng its mission to provide quality health services to our community. In 1990 the Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation was formed. For the past 20 years we have been inspired, blessed, and empowered by philanthropy. We’ve experienced firsthand what our community can do when we simply ask and enable people to give.

Philanthropy is the most efficient, effective way to support our hospital system. Every single dollar generated through contributed income goes directly to the bottom line. It takes $25 of hospital revenue to generate one dollar for reinvestment in new equipment and facilities. Contributions made through the Foundation can be applied more quickly to fund programs and expand services to better serve our community.

The Foundation supports Gwinnett Medical Center by funding programs, services, and capital expansion projects through charitable contributions. As a private not-for-profit 501(c)3, the Foundation enables people from all walks of life to come together and give of their time, talents, and treasure to strengthen our healthcare system. It all comes down to caring people caring for people.

Our Volunteers

11

Each year hundreds of volunteers are drawn to the Foundation to serve on working committees to champion healthcare needs. They help build community awareness of our hospital system, promote giving, and recruit others to serve alongside them. Our volunteers help with both friend-raising and fund-raising. They bring with them different passions, motivations, and gifts. Whether they are individuals, corporate executives, retirees, families, physicians, or hospital associates, there is a place for everyone.

Physician Partners was founded in the fall of 2007 by Dr. Manfred Sandler to encourage physicians to serve as donors and advocates for Gwinnett Medical Center, and promote awareness of fundraising initiatives both in the GMC hospital family and the community. This group has quickly grown to include 135 participating physicians.

The success of the Physician Partners group grew from the realization of physicians that their support and demonstrated belief in Gwinnett Medical Center through their personal contributions was a powerful example to others in the community. Their willingness to support the Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation speaks volumes and inspires many more to give.

The Physician Partners group builds sustaining relationships with the physician community, which in turn continues to influence other community leaders—taking the Foundation to a new level of philanthropy.

Physicians help people on a daily basis. Their hands are instruments of healing. They reach out and administer cures, diagnose illnesses, and save lives. For those they cannot reach with their own hands, many help by supporting programs that allow others to reach them instead.

AuxiliarySTARS

14 15

Auxiliary volunteers at GMC assist in a variety of ways – by serving staff, patients, and visitors. Auxiliary members can be found in every area of the hospital, including the gift shop, information desks, surgery waiting rooms, patient floors, and more. Much like the nurses and physicians they assist, no two days are the same. Each day brings new challenges and rewards. Each year the GMC Auxiliary volunteers donate over 40,000 hours, with a value of approximately $640,000. In addition, they have donated more than $1,000,000 to the Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation through the years.

Auxiliary volunteers see first-hand every day the impact of our giving. We are touching the lives of real people in real-time and it’s powerful!

Frances Greer

Standing Together Associates Reach Success (STARS) is a voluntary giving program created by the employees of GMC to fund projects that benefit the entire community. Over 1,800 GMC associates give to STARS through payroll deductions and their contributions help fund many efforts. Donations received through the program represent a significant portion of all money raised by the GMC Foundation each year. Since 1995, GMC associates have given more than $2.8 million in charitable contributions to improve access and expand services at GMC.

GMC associates not only give their care and expertise to patients and families each day, but they also give a portion of their paychecks to help provide the very best services and technology available.

Physician Champion AwardDistinguished Service Award

16

Created in 2009, the Physician Champion Award recognizes exceptional physicians, who specifically champion the fundraising efforts of the Foundation in support of the mission of GMC.

Physicians go into medicine with the goal of helping our fellow man. But that means more than practicing medicine. I see firsthand the benefits of supporting the Foundation and am committed to encouraging other physicians and their families to do the same.

Dr. Keith Carnes

Volunteering through the Foundation has enabled me to champion new causes and feel as though I’m contributing to healthcare in exciting new ways. It feels good to get outside my white coat and make a difference in ways I never thought I could. I’m pushing myself and others to be the very best we can be.

Dr. Manfred Sandler

The Distinguished Service Award is an honor bestowed upon those individuals who have consistently demonstrated extraordinary commitment, dedication, and service to Gwinnett Medical Center and the Gwinnett community. Established in 2000, its purpose is to serve as a tribute to exemplary Foundation volunteers who have donated their wealth, work, and wisdom to better our community.

The gift of a dollar to the Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation has high impact because every single dollar given applies directly to the bottom line. When donors give through the Foundation, every penny spent directly applies to improving our healthcare system.

Donors contribute on many different levels. Some give individually, corporately, or via special events. Some designate their gifts for a specific healthcare initiative or campaign, while others give in honor or memory of a loved one. Some gifts are received through asset transfers and some are bequeathed. The giving opportunities are endless. The Foundation even offers opportunities to gain recognition for cumulative giving, so through the years you can really see how it all adds up.

The Sport of GivingBrighter Smiles for Brighter Futures

24 25

In 2000, Sheila Stevens created a neighborhood tennis tournament, VolleyFest, to raise funds for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. The event gained so much support that it has evolved into its own organization, The Sport of Giving, that has expanded to include multiple sporting events such as SwingFest, a golf tournament, and RunFest, a 5k run. Through The Sport of Giving, Sheila has helped raise over $1.1 million to fund numerous projects at Gwinnett Medical Center.

www.TheSportofGiving.org

In 2000, Dr. Bruce E. Carter created Brighter Smiles for Brighter Futures, which allows dentists to raise funds for Cancer Care by exchanging professional teeth bleaching for a donation to the GMC Foundation. The dentists do not receive any compensation for the services provided through Brighter Smiles, and 100% of the patient donation goes to the Foundation. Since its beginning, more than 65 dentists have contributed more than $730,000 to help fund cancer treatment programs and expansion projects for GMC, including upgrading our mammography machines with the latest digital technology, the construction of a new mammography screening center at GMC-Duluth, and the purchase of a new ultrasound machine for the diagnostic center at GMC-Duluth.

Endowments

An endowed gift to Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation ensures support for today, while providing excellence and innovation far into the future. Endowed gifts are invested. A portion of the investment earnings are spent, while the original gifts are preserved as principal. In this way, endowed gifts have far greater earning power: a one-time gift lasts forever.

Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation’s endowment supports Gwinnett Medical Center facilities and the latest technology. With a strong endowment, Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation can recruit the best healthcare professionals and keep up with emerging technologies and medical knowledge.

As GMC expands, capital and operating budgets must meet the costs of innovation. Income from endowments make that possible. Endowments provide GMC with a competitive edge and help us maintain and enhance the quality of the GMC experience. To compete with our peers, continue to excel, and meet the goals of GMC’s new strategic plan, we must re-emphasize the critical need for endowments to support the people working here and the facilities in which they work and heal.

The GMC Foundation works closely with Gwinnett Medical Center to address not only immediate healthcare needs but to proactively plan for a healthy future. It is imperative that we always look ahead and prepare for what is to come. We have our eye on emerging technologies to make certain we stay on the cutting edge. We are constantly analyzing growth statistics to accurately forecast capacity and service demands. We do everything we can to ensure we have the highest quality healthcare available in our community. Gwinnett Medical Center has an incredible vision for the future—a vision that is transforming healthcare in our community for generations to come.

The Power Of People

10,000+ Donors

A great hospital system helps keep a community strong, vibrant, and growing. That’s why it’s important for all of us to support this hospital system, support these doctors and nurses, and help this system grow.

Project PATH

As the CEO of the hospital system, I know that we can’t do everything we need to with just earnings. Philanthropy helps us do things so much faster and allows us to better serve the community.

Philip R. WolfePresident & CEO, Gwinnett Hospital System

Plan to meet our community’s constantly growing healthcare needs

Advance medical technology and clinical excellence

Transform our facilities and expand capacity for

Healthcare that meets your needs.

In late 2006, the Gwinnett Medical Center board of directors adopted a distinct vision for our healthcare system. At its core, the vision is simple: to ensure the very best care is available for every patient we serve. It’s called Project PATH.

32 33

GMC has already made many significant advances, including the opening of GMC-Duluth in October 2006, the new 155-bed patient tower at GMC that opened in September of 2009, and now the development of our Open Heart surgery program. These projects, along with other Project PATH initiatives, will enable us to transform healthcare in our community and will address our indisputable and critical need to increase the number of patients we can treat and expand our life-saving specialty services. Project PATH will also help fuel the growth of Gwinnett County as it improves the quality of life of its people and attract high paying jobs to the region.

Having a vision to transform healthcare is one thing. Implementing it is quite another. The initiatives currently outlined in Project PATH total $500 million in capital expansion needs. More needs will follow. To be successful we must do all we can to raise the funds to meet these needs.

We are confident that with the vision outlined in Project PATH, a strong commitment from our physicians and staff, and support from our community, we will continue to remain the hospital Gwinnett deserves…and more importantly — the hospital YOU deserve!

Open Heart Is In Your Hands

36 37

Giving of ourselves and our money is an extension of our love for the community. That’s what life is all about.

Clyde & Sandra Strickland

Currently there is one area in which Gwinnett County is critically underserved—lifesaving cardiac care. In fact, Gwinnett is the most populated county in the nation without an open heart program. In response to this critical need, GMC Foundation has launched a capital campaign with a goal of raising $8 million in community support to be used to build additional surgical suites and accompanying facilities needed to operate an open heart program in Gwinnett.

We encourage our employees to give and to be active in the community. I can’t encourage my employees unless they see that I am doing the exact same thing. Brand Bank is our family and we wanted to give as a family unit to the community to support Open Heart services.

Bartow Morgan, Jr.The Brand Banking Company

Giving is contagious. We have been fortunate to live and work in a county that has seen so much growth. We felt that we should give back because Gwinnett has been so good to us. There is such a great need in Gwinnett County for Open Heart services, and we must have community support. Quality healthcare is something we cannot do without.

Wayne & Ann Mason

Caring People Caring for People

Thanks to the passion of the Gwinnett community, Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation has grown over the past twenty years into a multi-faceted organization. We want to extend a special thanks to you, our loyal supporters, for the tremendous generosity you have shown Gwinnett Medical Center for the past two decades. The hospital system has experienced exponential growth during this time and our donors, volunteers, and friends played a large role in our transformation. Because of the twenty-plus years of dedication, passion, and philanthropy, Gwinnett Medical Center is well on its way to becoming THE healthcare provider of choice for the region.

In closing, we wish to list all of our donors not previously listed that have given cumulatively $1,000 or more to the Foundation during our first 20 years. May we all be inspired by what we have accomplished and aspire to do even greater things in the decades ahead.

Our vision at Gwinnett Medical Center for the future will be impossible to realize without the collective contributions of everyone. Whenever we are challenged by the question “How can I make a difference?” remember that together everything is possible. And whether our contributions equal a few hours of time volunteering or a few dollars donated, it all matters. It all makes a difference.

We all can make a difference by doing good for others.

Jason C. Chandler, PresidentGMC Foundation
