Palmetto Health Foundation

Another year has come and gone and 2017 looks very good in our rearview mirror. There were many accomplishments and successes—all thanks to you, our donors and friends. More than 14,000 donors supported Palmetto Health Foundation during 2017 in a number of ways. Their contributions helped fund programs, equipment and services throughout Palmetto Health in Children’s Hospital, the Cancer Centers, the Breast Center, Trauma, Neuroscience, the Heart Hospital, Hospice, the Dental Clinic, Geriatrics and more.

With leadership from more than 100 committed volunteers who serve on our boards, giving society committees, event committees and hundreds more volunteers who staff our signature events, our entire organization hit the ground running and kept the pace throughout the year to help provide the best care possible right here in our community. We could not report our many successes on the pages that follow without help from these dedicated individuals. They heard the stories of a life saved or a child given hope and helped fund critical clinical equipment like Giraffe™ OmniBed™ Carestations™ for premature babies, telemonitoring devices for in-home monitoring of Hospice patients, a prostate biopsy system for cancer patients and a camp for hearing-impaired children. The list of needs is endless, however, and many have gone unmet.

The High Cost of Health CareYour investments in Palmetto Health are significant

because of the high cost of health care.

66.19% of total billings

were for patients without private

insurance

TotalFY2017Billings

only 14.97%

of chargeswere collected

WHY YOUR SUPPORT IS CRITICAL

61 PERCENT of children who were cared for in outpatient and inpatient facilities at Children’s Hospital were on Medicaid.

The Midlands has the HIGHEST PERCENTAGE of Medicaid pediatric patients than anywhere else in the state.

The Midlands has the LEAST SUPPORTIVE private payer mix in the state.

2 OUT OF 3 Children’s Hospital patients have health coverage through a government provider.

Medicaid reimbursements DO NOT COVER the full cost of the care provided.

Palmetto Health Trauma charges alone were $147 MILLION but only $31.5 MILLION in revenue was collected.

Palmetto Health invested $64.5 MILLION in new technology and equipment upgrades.

After sustaining serious injuries from an ATV accident in March 2016, Brandon Peake was taken to the emergency room at Palmetto Health Richland where a team of nurses, doctors and surgeons worked to save his life and his sight. And that was not the end of Brandon’s long road to recovery. He endured 13 hours of plastic surgery and had 13 plates and 200 screws put in his face and head.

Because this was the first time away from their children for so long, Brandon and his wife, who stayed with him in the hospital, were nervous and a little lonely. But several nurses went out of their way to make them feel more comfortable.

Ian Porter, Intermediate and Critical Care nurse residency educator, was special to Brandon because he would spend his lunch break each day talking with him.

“He never looked down at his watch, thinking ‘When can I get out of here?’ He was there for me,” Brandon said.

Brandon also remembers another nurse who spent hours with him, delicately

removing the blood that stained his beard so that his children would not be frightened when they saw him for the first time after his accident.

“It is that passion…going beyond their job description and a general love for what they do that makes a difference,” Brandon said.

A year later, Brandon returned to Palmetto Health Richland to thank the “unsung heroes” who saved his life. The visit had even more meaning because this was the first time Brandon saw many of the people who cared for him. While in the Surgical Trauma Intensive Care Unit, Brandon had bandages covering his eyes and could only hear the voices of the nurses and doctors. When he returned in April, he was able to match the voices with the faces, and meet them face-to-face to say “thank you.”

Brandon and his family made a gift to Palmetto Health Foundation to benefit the Trauma Unit and honor his caregivers. Brandon is still working with Dr. Richard Wasserman for reconstructive plastic surgery, but he is back to working as a general contractor and doing well.

Why we joined Rising Championsby Sara Ellison We have chosen to join Rising Champions, a young donors group benefiting Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital, because the Children’s Hospital is near and dear to our hearts. At only four days old, our younger son was admitted to the Children’s Hospital via the Children’s Emergency Room after it was discovered that he was born with a rare congenital defect. Requiring corrective surgery at one week old, the days spent in the Children’s Hospital were stressful and long, but we had absolutely no doubt that we were in the best place possible and that our baby was in the most competent and caring hands. The doctors and staff took the very best care of not only our baby boy, but mom, dad, and big brother, too!

The Children’s Hospital is never where you would choose to be with your child, but when the unexpected happens, you can have peace of mind knowing that your precious child is going to be provided with the finest and most compassionate care. By joining Rising Champions, our desire is to play a small role in ensuring that our Children’s Hospital remains a top-notch facility with leading pediatric specialists and staff. We believe this to be a worthy investment for the children in our community.

CAMP KEMO Programs of Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital focus on children with cancer and blood disorders. Programs are designed to educate, inspire and support the entire family so life is more manageable and enjoyable. It is important to provide emotional support from the moment of diagnosis through the end

of treatment and beyond. This includes late effects clinics for long term survivors and bereavement support for families whose children do not survive. CAMP KEMO Programs are fully funded with community support.

In FY2017, the Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders had 9,000 visits/procedures and saw—

children on active treatment for cancer

children newly diagnosed with cancer

patients treated in the Hemophilia Treatment Center

patients treated in the TRACE (late effects) Clinic

patients treated for sickle cell disease

patients receiving therapy for a blood disorder (excluding hemophilia and oncology patients; includes sickle cell chronic transfusion patients and patients receiving treatment for other life-threatening blood disorders)

$4,000 Palmetto Health Baptist ParkridgeOver-the-bed bilirubin light for the newborn nursery. The light is used to decrease newborn jaundice. Caregivers can now help babies who require double light phototherapy on site at Baptist Parkridge. Prior to the funding of the light, some patients had to be transferred to the Palmetto Health Baptist Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

$3,800 Palmetto Health TraumaDisposable brochoscopes and a monitor were funded for the Surgical Trauma Intensive Care Unit (STICU). Bronchoscopy is a regular procedure in the STICU.

1,008 hospice patients and 4,319 home health patientsPalmetto Health Homecare and Hospice served in FY2017.

$16,000 20 telemonitoring devices to extend in-home monitoring to more patients. Daily monitoring of vital signs and weights through these devices helps identify sudden changes in patient condition, effect more efficient management of home visits and reduce the likelihood of patient readmissions to the hospital. In FY2017, Homecare monitored 487 patients.

$2,500 5 doppler ultrasound devicesThese devices monitor patients whose pulses are very difficult to read by other means or patients who have LVAD devices (implanted cardiac assistive devices). Often these patients have very serious medical conditions and need close and careful monitoring of vital signs.

$25,000 Assisted hospice patients and their families with electric bills, medications, transportation, food and funeral expenses.

$4,000 Palmetto Health Heart and Vascular Medtronic Pacemaker This device offers lifesaving heart care for cardiac surgery patients.

The Log A Load For Kids program originated in South Carolina in 1988 to demonstrate logger commitment to community service and professionalism. The concept was for loggers and wood-supplying businesses to donate the value of a load of logs to CMN Hospitals. The program has grown with state logging and forestry associations in 39 states now participating in Log A Load For Kids fundraising activities.

In FY2017, Michael Walker and Chip Mallard coordinated the first Klays for Kids sporting clays event and raised more than
