Message from the CEONorth Country has come a long way over the past 20 years. It has truly taken a village to become the mature organization North Country HealthCare is today. We serve as the medical home for some 50,000 Arizona residents and operate 23 clinics in 14 communities throughout northern Arizona. Our operating budget is $55M and we employ approximately 500 individuals. We enjoy the support of hundreds of local, regional and state stakeholders and look forward to exciting developments in the years ahead.

We have strategically launched the North Country Foundation to coincide with a few years of reprieve since final year capital campaign contributions which were made in 2012, economic recovery from the financial downturn along with a new program campaign on the horizon. Non-profit fundraising need not be accomplished through a Foundation but North Country believes it creates the structure from which numerous

current development activities and future efforts, including planned giving, can be most effectively launched.

A founding Foundation Board has been appointed and its first project is to launch a campaign for our nascent Family Practice Residency Program. This unique and exciting program will provide post medical school training for future primary care physicians, during which we plan to influence their practice choice to work and live in northern Arizona. We firmly believe that addressing the shortage of primary care physicians by improving supply and distribution in rural and underserved northern Arizona is an important and reachable goal through this new program. Stay tuned for more information in 2016.

In the meantime, thank you for your ongoing support of the North Country mission and we wish you a joyous holiday season and a prosperous New Year!

Warm Regards,

Ann Roggenbuck, MPH, MBA, PhD, Retired

Message from the Foundation Board PresidentHappy New Year,

I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself and share a few thoughts on the North Country HealthCare Foundation. My name is Marc Daniels, President of BEC Southwest, and I will serve as the North Country HealthCare Foundation Board President for the next three years.

As an Arizona native, I have a deep personal commitment to the communities and people that we serve. For over two decades BEC Southwest has been providing quality design and construction services across northern Arizona completing over 300 commercial, industrial and residential building projects. Running a successful business for over 22 years in Flagstaff has given me an understanding of the wonderful opportunities and difficult challenges facing the residents of northern Arizona. Accessible, affordable and quality healthcare has always been a top priority for me, my staff and the people and communities we serve.

My company has been actively involved with North Country HealthCare for the past 12 years. We have completed eight building projects in five communities across northern Arizona; everything from remodels to new builds. After working side by side with the

incredibly talented people at North Country HealthCare, I have learned the value of what North Country brings to each of their communities; kindness, compassion and most importantly, quality healthcare for all regardless of their ability to pay.

It is more than our shared priorities that has led me to accept the challenge of being the Foundation Board President. I have deep respect and admiration for the leadership and staff of North Country HealthCare and the way in which they go about the business of delivering high quality service. They, and the organization they run, are highly efficient, effective, innovative and tough but fair; just the kind of people I like to work with.

I am excited to be a part of such a special time for North Country HealthCare and the families they serve. The Family Practice Residency Program will be truly unique and I look forward to a successful campaign. Thanks to all for your support in this exiting and important effort!

Best regards,

Marc Daniels, North Country HealthCare Foundation Board President
