report of the “20/20: A Clear Vision Committee.” He cited the 20/20brochure which is being sent to congregations. He also citedconvocation and metro workshops which have been and are beingscheduled and noted members of the 20/20 Task Force of the Diocese.
St. Luke’s HospitalThe Chair recognized and called upon the Rev. Dr. Edwin
Heathcock, director of Pastoral Care, to give the report on St. Luke’sEpiscopal–Presbyterian Hospital. This past year marked the 136thyear of service to the metropolitan area by the hospital and the 27thyear of service in Chesterfield. For the first time since 1994, thehospital operated as an independent hospital.
St. Luke’s Hospital continues to identify regional health needs andto expand services appropriately. During the past year, St. Luke’sopened an Urgent Care Center in St. Charles County; providedpediatric care at St. Luke’s Pediatric Care Center in north St. LouisCounty; established a partnership with the Lincoln County MedicalCenter in Troy; and began construction on a 70,000-square-footoutpatient services building scheduled to open in late fall of this year.
The Clinical Pastoral Education Program served 41 students thisyear in various pastoral education programs.
During the year 2002, St. Luke’s dedication to providingexceptional health care was nationally recognized by the AmericanAssociation of Retired Persons, U.S. News and World Report, andModern Healthcare.
Urban Mission CommissionThe Chair recognized and called upon the Rev. Susan Nanny,
canon of Christ Church Cathedral and chair of the Urban MissionCommission to present the report of that commission.
At Diocesan Convention two years ago, we followed up with theGeneral Convention mandate and resolved to establish the UrbanMission Commission in the Diocese of Missouri. The UMC has beenin existence about 14 months.
The challenge has been to think together about what it would meanfor a strong Episcopal presence to be part of the St. Louis urban scape.What would that look like? Who would be our partners? There are noeasy answers to these questions. Some of our ideas centering on thiswork of urban ministry are cited as follows:
• Invest in continuing education that focuses on urban ministry forthe diocese.
• Cultivate partnerships among parishes and between other faithtraditions.
• Explore how the Committee for Congregational Developmentcan be involved in shoring up some of our urban congregations withprogram development.
We would welcome a part-time Urban Missioner, and we dohope for a full-time position.
It will be important for us to pay attention to Ascension in nearnorth St. Louis City. Its collaboration with West Presbyterian Churchprovides outreach to a neighborhood where ministries would beprofoundly missed if they were no longer there. One idea might be toestablish a Diocesan Outreach Ministries Center in the Ascensionneighborhood, a place where Ascension could continue its outreachministries and a place where a Diocesan Urban Missioner could be

housed. Such a center could be a place where the students from theEpiscopal School for Ministry might serve the needs of theneighborhood and lead worship; and a place where other parishescould collaborate and expand their ministries.
In the next year, the Urban Mission Commission hopes to talkwith congregations in Jefferson City, Columbia, Cape Girardeau, andelsewhere to explore what their urban scape looks like and how we canbe a resource to them.

B-163CONCERNING: Opposition to war against IraqSUBMITTED BY: The revised resolution was submitted by theResolutions Committee
1 BE IT RESOLVED that the 163rd Convention of the Diocesevoices its gratitude to the President of the United States for workingwith the United Nations for a peaceful resolution with our conflictwith Iraq; and be it further
2 RESOLVED that we affirm the House of Bishops’ statement that“we do not support a decision to go to war without clear and con-vincing evidence of the need to defend ourselves against imminentattack. Our faith requires us to strive always for justice and peace.We believe that restraint and ongoing commitment to internationalcooperation are means toward peace that we all desire;” and be it
3 RESOLVED if war be chosen, the people of this Diocese givetheir full support to our armed forces and its leaders by their prayers,encouragement, and solace; and
4 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Convention directs theSecretary of Convention to convey this message to the President ofthe United States and our Congressional delegation.
RATIONALEThe United States has a proud heritage of defending liberty
and freedom. The administration has failed to present evidence thatIraq is a threat to the people of the United States. An attack willprovoke additional and unnecessary hostility toward the UnitedStates. Our Lord Jesus Christ asked us to go in peace to love andserve Him and as His Church we would forsake Christ by failing tospeak out for the cause of peace and against war;
While it is agreed upon that Iraq’s leader, Saddam Hussein, hasdemonstrated a willingness to manufacture and deploy weapons ofmass destruction and has supplied terrorists with both weapons andfinancial support; this reality has existed for some time and we arepuzzled why it is now so imperative we act against Iraq and Hussein.
Journal of the 163rd Convention 19
continued
We are puzzled because the President and his administrationhave not presented a convincing argument or evidence to justifywaging a war against another nation and its peoples. We believe it istelling that the United States has failed to gain the support of itsallies or the United Nations as a whole and we are alarmed that theBush administration is willing to act unilaterally, even in the face ofrenewed efforts by the United Nations to get Hussein to complywith past resolutions dealing with weapons inspections.
We are alarmed that the President seems unwilling to exhaustall peaceable means to resolve this crisis. We are also concernedthat the administration has presented no clear plan for a post-HusseinIraq nor demonstrated any consideration for the effects of a war andpossible “regime change” on the peoples of Iraq and what the con-sequences might be for the United States of an unstable environ-ment in Iraq.
We are further concerned that the administration refuses to heedthe warning of its Arab allies and the neighbors of Iraq about thebacklash against the United States from Arab peoples who increas-ingly see us as the true enemy of their right to basic freedoms andself-determination, not only by our aggression toward them, but byour support of repressive regimes in other Arab states, notably SaudiArabia.
C-163CONCERNING: Location of Diocesan ConventionSUBMITTED BY: Metro III
1 BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE 163rd CONVENTION OF THEDIOCESE OF MISSOURI is committed to the rebirth and renewalof urban areas, not least the St. Louis metropolitan area; and be itfurther
2 RESOLVED, that the Annual Meeting of Convention in 2003 or2005 be held within the city limits of the city of St. Louis.
RATIONALEMore than 400 people attend our annual diocesan convention.
We fill hotels, we run out for forgotten items, we shop and tourduring our break times. If we are committed to the renewal of urbanareas we should, when we meet in the St. Louis area, exercise ourspending power downtown. Metro III would be happy to host andorganize such a Convention.
D-163CONCERNING: Urban MissionerSUBMITTED BY: Urban Mission Commission
This Resolution was received after the canonical deadline ofOct. 3, 2002, and was considered by the Convention only after con-sent of two-thirds of Convention.
1 BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE 163rd CONVENTION OF THEDIOCESE OF MISSOURI reaffirm its commitment to respond toGod’s call in Christ by encouraging visionary leaders, both lay andordained, to represent Christ Jesus in the world, to proclaim theGospel of Christ, and to work for justice, reconciliation, and therenewal of our cities especially but not exclusively in neighborhoodsof persistent poverty; and be if further
2 RESOLVED, that this Convention is grateful for Bishop Smith’sproposal to include Urban Mission among the priorities of the dioc-esan staff; and be it further
3 RESOLVED, that this Convention calls upon the Office of theBishop, the Standing Committee, Diocesan Council and the UrbanMission Commission to make it an urgent priority to identify sourcesof funding during the first half of 2003 to make it possible for thebishop to hire a half-time Urban Missioner and a half-time Deputyfor Ministry in 2003 and a full-time Urban Missioner no later thanJanuary 1, 2004.
RATIONALEThe Urban Mission Commission has spent the past year begin-
ning to identify the call of the Episcopal Church in our urban areasof St. Louis and to explore that call as it relates to our urban congre-gations and their neighborhoods. We observe that not all peoplewho are poor and live in the city live in neighborhoods of concen-trated and persistent poverty and not all people who live in the innercity have incomes below the poverty line. We believe that the Churchas the “Body of Christ” is called to offer a “new creation,” God’snew city, filled with reconciliation, inclusion and people from allwalks of life who are in need of justice and mercy. We are awarethat St. Louis is not the only city in the diocese nor the only placewhere issues of injustice and privation exist.

CONCERNING: Report Deadline as Noted in Resolution D-162SUBMITTED BY: Metro IV
1 WHEREAS the last session of the Convention of the Dioceseapproved the following Resolution:
Be it resolved by the 162nd Convention of the Diocese ofMissouri that the Diocesan Convocations each review poli-cies relating to representation by Lay Delegates to the Con-vention, including but not limited to the minimum and maxi-mum number of Lay Delegates allocated to each Parish orMission, and report their conclusions and recommendations olater than March 31, 2003, to the Diocesan Council, in orderthat Diocesan Council may recommend any amendment to theConstitution of the Diocese and such other actions as may beappropriate to address such concerns not later than the 164thConvention.
and
2 WHEREAS the next recommended date for Convocations to meethas been scheduled as April 5, 2003, which falls after the March 31,2003, date provided for in Resolution D-162, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED that the deadline for each Convocation’s reporton their conclusions and recommendations on the policies and meth-odology of determining the number of Lay Delegates to Conven-tion be moved until AFTER the April Convocation meetings, with a
20 Journal of the 163rd Convention
non-binding suggestion of April 15, 2003.
RATIONALESince Metro IV began considering Resolution D-162 at its Junemeeting and discussed it without decision at the September meet-ing, a committee was tasked to review possibilities. However, theresults were not ready in time for the November Convocation meet-ing at which the most important topic was the business of the Up-coming Convention.
In order to receive information from all of the Metro IV Convoca-tion Lay Delegates and Clergy, either a special meeting will have tobe held before March 31, 2003, or the first meeting will be held ascheduled in April and the report to Council will violate the require-ment of Resolution D-162.
The Metro IV Convocation does not believe that it is the only onewith this scheduling conflict. This important issue deserves the se-rious review and consideration of all Convocations.
Thus the Metro IV Convocation recommends that the Report datebe moved to after the suggested April 5 Convocation meeting date.

Journal of the 163rd Convention 21
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain towhich Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshipedhim; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “Allauthority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go there-fore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the nameof the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teachingthem to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remem-ber, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” — Matthew 28:16-20
There are those closing words from Matthew’s gospel again.What are we going to do about those words?
Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus, I stand before you todaywith the intent of sketching out a missional focus for our life to-gether. I hope to put some substance to the Great Commission, so itcan become real in the life we share.
I stand before you on the twenty-first day in the ninth month ofmy consecration having learned a thing or two already. I have learnedthat neither I nor we can do everything we want to-nor even every-thing that is worth doing.
There is not enough of a bishop-or of a holy people-to go around.Omnipotence belongs to God, not to us.
I am learning that we can do some things, must do some things.Which means, dear friends, that we choose, that we must find afocus, we must pray our way toward finding God’s passion and in-tent for us.
The good news is that the Episcopal Church and this Diocesehave already named one focus in that thing called 20/20: The intentto double the worshiping numbers in our churches by the year 2020.
Note that I say worshiping numbers and not members. Jesuscalls us to discipleship, not affiliation. Joining in the worshipinglife of a community is the bare-bones minimum of what it means tofollow Jesus.
But I assume that we have decided on this as a focus already.So I will not put the issue before you with a question mark at theend. My intent is to move ahead, and not keep asking you, “Havewe really decided this? Are you sure? Really really sure?”
Friends, it is decided. Let us act on that decision and take upthe practices that will allow us to get there from here.
Our purpose is to revitalize existing congregations and startnew ones. That’s it. Simple as that.
I hope that within two years we will have in place a process toidentify congregations ready for new vitality-and to provide the sup-port for them to find the new life.
We have the money to start two new congregations. That willhappen. It is my intent that these not be the last two that we startduring my episcopate.
We cannot do everything, and we can’t do it all at once. Let’splease be realistic. But we can identify three, four, or five congrega-tions ready for the radical newness of life in Christ that goes beyondmere survival. We can start two new congregations in the immedi-ate future-and we can take whatever we learn from that into newbeginnings.
I need to tell you that I see many good things in the congrega-tions of the diocese, every where I go. Big places, little places, cityplaces, town places, suburban places.
Wouldn’t it be interesting to find places for revitalization in
Bishop’s Addressevery one of the locales? Wouldn’t it be interesting to start newchurches, in every sort of locale I have described.
I know that in the communities of faith I see all around theeastern half of Missouri, and with few exceptions, survival is not aproblem. Churches know how to survive. We know how to get by.The question is about the choice to thrive.
A worshiping community of thirty can merely survive. Or itcan thrive. A worshiping community of a thousand can merely sur-vive. Or it can thrive.
For any congregation, thirty or a thousand, I will go the mat, ifyou are committed to mission and ministry, and if your town or yourneighborhood, the place where you live would miss you if you weregone. If not, then we will need to have another kind of conversation.
I want to underscore: My resources of time and energy willgo to the building up of the Church, communities of faith that theworld would miss.
New occasions do teach new duties, and the vital life of oursmaller congregations require a new set of practices.
Finances make it almost impossible for many small congrega-tions to have a resident, seminary trained priest.
And even if they have the finances, smaller congregations inthe middle of the country-or in the middle of the city- may have avery difficult time attracting a seminary trained priest to come liveamong them. The first wave of a clergy shortage is hitting little con-gregations, and it is hitting all congregations in the middle of thecountry. The statistics I have seen say that it will get worse.
I have said in little congregations and I will say it again here inthe
presence of this Diocesan assembly: The long-term solution isfor many of our faith communities to become more serious aboutgrowing their own ordained ministries.
Priests, yes. Deacons, yes. The canons of the Episcopal Churchare flexible enough for us to identify ordained ministries from thecongregations themselves and train the folks for these ministry, righthere in Missouri. These folks will likely keep their day jobs.
And they will provide the necessary, sacramental leadership intheir communities.
Mind you: I am not much interested in local ordinations as astrategy for survival. I am very much interested in local ordinationsas a means for mission and ministry. I say: Let’s do it. We have tohave resources of money, and my time, and trained staff for therevitalization of congregations and the starting of new ones.
Which brings me to the topic of the Thompson Fund, an in-come source for the Diocese of Missouri that will increase substan-tially, pending the sale of the Thompson Center.
Let me say a few words about that piece of property in WestSaint Louis County.
The Bishop of Missouri, as you probably know, is the sole trusteefor the Thompson Trust, a significant legacy given to this Diocesefrom the estate of Frank and Maddie Thompson in 1941. That legacyincluded the Thompson House in Webster Groves.
In 1962, Bishop Cadigan exchanged the Thompson House inWebster for a large parcel of land in Creve Coeur, subsequentlynamed the Thompson Center.
For some 40 years, the Thompson Center was home to an inter-continued
faith organization devoted to conferences and retreats. It had someyears of vitality.
Problems, however, accumulated. The property suffered a back-log of deferred maintenance. The Thompson Center board neveradequately developed the property for the changing demands of theconference market-place. And the Center gradually lost its payingclientele-dramatically lost clients in the past five years.
The interfaith program board never developed a base of faith-ful givers to the capital needs of the center. The Diocese of Mis-souri gradually lost a sense of ownership in the property, thoughpockets of devotion to it remained.
The Bishop, by legal definition and practice, was the sole trustee,so the Diocese, reasonably enough, felt removed from owning theproperty. The program board of the center included
Episcopalians-but it also included lots of other folks. Method-ists, Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, Jews, Disciples of Christ, toname the most evident players in the mix.
It was ours-but it was not ours. And eventually usage by Epis-copalians dropped off to nearly nothing.
A task force formed in 1995 recommended to Bishop Rock-well that he sell the property. He rejected the recommendation, choos-ing to pursue some other possibilities for the land. None of whichever came to fruition.
When the Diocese of Missouri engaged the capital campaignMaking All Things New in 1999, the question was put to the con-sultant: Would it be feasible to raise significant capital for the Th-ompson Center? The answer was, No.
When I became Bishop Coadjutor in March, the center waslosing money, and a lot of it. The likelihood of raising the hundredsof thousands of dollars necessary to cover deferred maintenanceand the additional millions to make it a viable conference centerwas nonexistent.
The table was set when I arrived. I merely stepped up to thetable and did what had to be done.
The only realistic alternative for me, once I became the trusteeof the Thompson property, was to sell it.
Now I have taken some time to tell this story, because I want toremove some of the mystery that surrounds the name Thompson, inthis Diocese.
My intent, over time, is to remove all the mystery around theThompson Trust, and its funds.
The Bishop of Missouri is sole trustee of the Fund. On yourbehalf.
The trust gives the Bishop sole discretion in spending the in-come of the fund. It prohibits spending any of the principle. So theproceeds from the sale of the Thompson property will not be avail-able to spend. The proceeds go into the Thompson Fund.
The sizeable increase in the fund will generate a sizeableincrease in income.
My intent is to make that fund as transparent to you as possible.I want you to know the income, and I want you to know how I, bylaw the sole trustee, choose for it to be spent, on your behalf.
Here’s the punch-line: My desire is to spend it on our bestdreams.
I hope to spend the large bulk of this new income stream to-ward the revitalization of existing congregations and the starting ofnew ones. The staff for this to happen. The training that all of usdesperately need. The education of the entrepreneurial seminarians
so crucial for the work we say we want to do. The internships to getsome of these entrepreneurs back in this diocese, where we needthem. And other similar projects, for the building up of the Church.
I want you to know how this money gets spent.At the same time that I remain sole trustee of the Fund on your
behalf, I want to pop the balloon of mystery surrounding these fi-nances.
In my travels around the Diocese, I have identified a missingpiece in the puzzle of renewed mission and ministry:
Folks know intuitively, in their gut, that we have a very goodthing going in our congregations.
But we hardly know how to tell others about it. We can’t quiteput it into words.
We are not entirely sure about our identify as Anglicans, aspeople of the Episcopal Church in the eastern half of Missouri, asactive worshipers in our congregations.
I want to do something about this. So I intend to form a work-ing group with the charge of bringing back to the next convention agreater clarity about our identity as Anglican Christians in the Dio-cese of Missouri.
Trained theologians, people in public relations and the media,people trained in process: I want to ask them to bring back to usthree formats —
• A simple one-sentence description of who we are. No com-mas. If at all possible. (That is a tough challenge.)
• A tri-fold leaflet describing who we are.• And a booklet. They can gather the data from you in any way
they see fit; they can pour into the tradition, in any way they see fit.But I want us to have clarity for our own sake-and for the sake
of telling our story and the Jesus story to the world. A great tool inthe initiatives toward reinvigorated mission and growing the church.
Finally, finally, finally. It is my hope as your bishop to exercisespiritual leadership, most of all, to engage in the ministry of episcope,the Greek word that means, literally, scoping over.
Episcope is the view from the balcony.I find that the institutional pressures of this job make it difficult
for me to find the way to the balcony and to exercise spiritual lead-ership.
The Church, I believe, needs someone dedicated to that view,and I think I am that someone.
I ask you for the support I will need to get that view. I ask yoursupport for choices I hope to make in the near future-such as (forexample) gathering with clergy regularly for the spiritual practicesof Bible study and prayer. To support their spiritual leadership inthe communities they serve.
And to engage in the practices and disciplines of a theologi-cally informed leadership.
So our congregations will indeed have a there, there, into whichto welcome the stranger, who for the sake of Jesus is to be trans-formed into a friend.
I love this ministry. You need to know that. And I am falling inlove with the land and most of all with the people of this Diocese.What great work I get to do among you! I am glad-very glad-to beyour bishop.

This year will be an exciting one in the Diocesan Archives.After several years of having the majority of our archival collectionand library in storage, the Diocese has leased space for the collec-tion in a building owned by St. Louis University. Over the next coupleof months, I will be packing, moving, and setting up, but I hope byspring to begin to have the Diocesan Archives available to congre-gations and individuals for research. We are grateful to the Mercan-tile Library for providing secure storage for our collection for thepast several years.
During the last two years, the registers, records, memorials,and artifacts from Church of the Epiphany in Des Peres and St.Andrew’s Church in Northwoods have been placed in the Archives.In the next few months, the records and part of the library from theThompson Center will be moved to the Archives. In packing theThompson Center library, I discovered that part of it had originallybelonged to Bishop William Scarlett, and other volumes belongedto the original Diocesan Library that had been established in thelate 1800s.
The Bishop and Chancellor have just approved a Policy andprocedure for lending service related items from the Archives andfor placing major architectural elements from closed churches withactive congregations. I hope congregations in need of these thingswill consider helping to place them, many of them memorials, backinto service where they belong.
This past summer we received a large collection of photographsof St. Stephen’s in the Hills, the summer camp that belonged to St.Stephen’s in St. Louis, from Virginia Kiefer, daughter of the Rev.Charles Washburn, longtime rector of St. Stephen’s. She also sent afew photographs of the church when it was located at Ninth andRutger. These are welcome additions to the Archives.
A large number of requests that I receive are genealogical innature and I am happy to provide the information from the registersin the Archives. Requests for information from records of openchurches are referred to the church offices.
If your congregation does not have an archivist or historian, Ihope you will consider appointing one. Preserving records and his-tory is not just something for long-established congregations. Evenif your congregation is young, preserving the past is important, andit is a job that can be very rewarding. I am happy to provide guid-ance whether you already have your parish or mission archives setup or if you would like to get started.

Reports
Presence Among the Poor
The report to the 2001 Diocesan Convention listed the follow-ing assumptions:
• The Read to Succeed programs are a ministry of the localparish with support from the Diocese through funding and supportof the Program Coordinator.
• The New Hope Recovery Center is a program of the Diocesethrough the Presence Among the Poor Mission Group.
• The 12-step Addiction to Violence program is uniquely linked
to Episcopal City Mission with support from the Diocese.The 2002 mission group used these assumptions as the basis
for meeting with each service provider to assess the effectiveness ofthe respective programs achieving their objectives. In addition toassessing performance, the resources needed (financial and admin-istrative support) to achieve programmatic success were also exam-ined.
Each program director was asked to provide information abouttheir operations to assist the mission group in the decision-makingprocess. In addition to this information, members of the missiongroup visited two program sites to assess the effectiveness of theprograms. The following was gleaned from this activity:
• The Read to Succeed program may be a ministry of the localparish (Ascension), but it appears to be primarily a program fundedby the Diocese. The current structure of the program will not enableit to achieve its objectives. The program must be modified to achievethe ministry envisioned by the Diocese. A consultant was hired toevaluate the program and to provide the Mission Group with a re-port on the assessment by December 2002.
• The New Hope Recovery Program is addressing the needs ofits community but the program administration needs to be improved.The effective utilization of resources, including better utilization ofthe physical plant, is needed. The linkage between the New HopeRecovery program and Urban Ministry is not evident;
• The 12-Step Addiction to Violence program at Episcopal CityMission is providing a much-needed service. The objectivity of theProgram Director, in assessing the effectiveness of the 12-step Ad-diction to Violence program, was questioned because the EpiscopalChurch Ministry is partially funded by the Presence Among the Poormission group.
These observations resulted in some programmatic changes thatare reflected in the 2003 Presence Among the Poor budget. TheRead to Succeed program will be evaluated to effect change to en-able the program to achieve its objective of reducing illiteracy anda diocesan staff liaison will be assigned to the program. The NewHope Recovery Program will also have a diocesan staff report toenable it to more effectively deliver the services needed in the com-munity it serves. Funding of the 12-Step Addiction to Violence atEpiscopal City Mission will not be funded by the Presence of theChurch Among the Poor.
Financial MattersThe Read to Succeed director will be paid from the Diocesan
Office through 2002. Supplies for the program are purchased by thesite director and paid by the Diocese.
The New Hope Recovery Center director is paid from the Di-ocesan Office. Supplies for the program are purchased by the sitedirector from cash collected from the 12-step groups or fundraisingor requests to the diocesan financial officer.
ConclusionThe Presence Among the Poor Mission Group has limited re-
sources to fund requests for proposals (RFP) during the 2002 fiscalyear. Information on applications for these funds was never publi-cized and as a result, 50 percent of the resources were not used.
continued
One unsolicited request for funding was submitted by Trinityin Hannibal, titled “Kids in Motion — Habitat for Humanity,” inJune and this request was funded to meet part of its programmaticneeds. Since information on the availability of funds had not beendisseminated earlier in the year, I decided as committee chair, to notrequest proposals in mid-year because they would not have beenevaluated until September. This situation has been rectified as RFPsare available and can be obtained at the 2002 Diocesan Conventionor from the Diocesan Office.

St. Luke’s Episcopal–Presbyterian Hospital
IntroductionThe past year marked St. Luke’s Hospital’s 136th year of ser-
vice to the metropolitan area and its 27th year of service in Chester-field. We are pleased to highlight some of St. Luke’s most signifi-cant activities and accomplishments in what has been a year of growthand opportunity.
Operating as an independent hospital again for the first timesince 1994, we witnessed a renewed spirit in the culture and tradi-tion that is unique to St. Luke’s. Our independence has given us theopportunity to remain flexible and competitive in the marketplace,while focusing on the mission and principles that have guided St.Luke’s for more than a century.
True to our mission and dedication to improve the health ofthe community, St. Luke’s continues to identify regional health needsand expand our services appropriately.
Over the past year, St. Luke’s opened an Urgent Care Center inSt. Charles County; provided pediatric care at St. Luke’s PediatricCare Center in north St. Louis County; established a partnershipwith the Lincoln County Medical Center in Troy; and began con-struction on a 70-thousand square-foot outpatient services buildingscheduled to open late fall. In addition to expanding our facilities,we continue to improve upon our current services by incorporatingthe latest technologies to better meet the needs of our patients.
During 2002, our dedication to providing exceptional healthcare was nationally recognized by the American Association of Re-tired Persons, U.S. News & World Report and Modern Healthcare.These accomplishments are as much a source of pride for us as ourcommunity outreach initiatives, which touched the lives of thou-sands of people over this past year.
Amidst this exciting time of growth and opportunity, we re-member the heart of our organization — our dedicated board ofdirectors, medical staff, employees, Auxiliary and volunteers, whosecombined talents make St. Luke’s a regional health care leader.
Thank you for your support of St. Luke’s Hospital as we con-tinue to achieve our mission of superior patient care and ongoingservice to the community.
Awards and RecognitionThe American Association of Retired Persons and Modern
Maturity magazine named St. Luke’s Hospital as one of Ten Lead-ing Hospitals in the nation for cardiac, pulmonary, renal and infec-tious care. U.S. News & World Report listed St. Luke’s Hospitalamong America’s Best Hospitals for respiratory care and geriatrics.
Modern Healthcare recognized St. Luke’s Hospital as one of 100Top Hospitals overall, and identified St. Luke’s orthopedic programsand cardiovascular services among the 100 Top programs nation-wide. In addition to recognition for its medical excellence, St. Luke’sreceived Honorable Mention in the St. Louis Business Journal’s“Best Places to Work.”
Culture of ServiceTreating patients and guests with the high-quality care they
expect begins by giving employees the respect and recognition theydeserve. It is no secret: when employee morale is high the ability todeliver exceptional customer service soars. Through frequent com-munications, quarterly employee celebrations, and personalized rec-ognition, St. Luke’s philosophy of treating employees like family isbrought to life.
Over the past year, St. Luke’s employees attended Even Ex-change and “Thank You” luncheons with hospital President GaryOlson; contributed to the employee newsletter, Around St. Luke’s;participated in employee meetings; volunteered time and expertiseat community outreach events; and nominated co-workers for Starawards and the 100 Club, St. Luke’s employee recognition programs.
A testament to St. Luke’s culture of service is the CustomerRelations Team. Formed by a dedicated group of employees, andencouraged by hospital leadership, this team helps to ensure thatemployees, patients and guests are welcomed, informed, appreci-ated and recognized.
Operating ResultsThe hospital continues to generate cash from operations and
remains in a strong financial position to ensure a solid foundationfor the future. Continued positive results provide resources neces-sary for recruitment and retention of quality staff through a compre-hensive market-based compensation and benefit program, growthand expansion of new services, investment in strategic capital ex-penditures and new technology, and retirement of long-term debt.St. Luke’s provided $6.8 million in charity care to the community infiscal year 2002.
St. Luke’s gain from operations for the fiscal year ending June30, 2002 was $11,207,000 compared to $10,526,000 for the prioryear. This represents operating margins of 4.5 percent and 4.8 per-cent respectively. Based on the hospital activity, total operating rev-enue grew to $248 million, a 14 percent increase over the priorfiscal year.
Building & ExpansionSt. Luke’s is dedicated to identifying communities’ unique health
needs in order to offer a wide range of services. In December,St. Luke’s opened an Urgent Care Center at Highway 94 and WolfrumRoad in St. Charles County.
In November 2002, St. Luke’s fifth Urgent Care Center will beopened in Fenton. St. Luke’s continues to explore additional oppor-tunities to meet the demands of St. Charles County and surroundingcommunities.
A major growth activity on St. Luke’s campus is the construc-tion of a four-level outpatient services building, adjacent to the hos-pital. This new building and adjoining parking facility will providearea residents with enhanced accessibility to a comprehensivemultidisciplinary cancer center and expanded outpatient services.
