On any given day, there is a patient on the roadsomeone making ajourney to another city to see a physician expert. The added stressof travel and financial burden can be daunting. Jennifer Boss faced thisscenario. But thanks to your giving, and Setons recruitment of highly

specialized physicians, she found the life-changing care she needed, here at home.

I was so worried about having seizures that I became scared to be in front ofcustomers, said Jennifer. I asked to move from a business sales position to afinance position where face-to-face interaction was limited.

First diagnosed with epilepsy two years ago, Jennifer had experienced partialseizures for several years that were first mistaken as anxiety attacks. She triedmultiple medications, but the seizures grew more severe.

I became so frustrated and wanted relief, but the physician I had been seeingdid not want to perform surgery. I contemplated traveling to see specialists inother cities, like San Antonio or Houston. Then I discovered the ComprehensiveEpilepsy Program at Seton Brain and Spine Institute.

Dr. Jason Shen, a Seton epilepsy specialist and assistant professor for UT

Southwestern, gave Jennifer the hope she needed. Hes among a growing groupof physicians moving to Austin who are attracted by Setons expanding academicmedicine program and the teaching and research opportunities it brings.

Jennifer had a vascular malformation, or lesion, in the right temporal lobe.I believed this was the cause of her seizures, said Dr. Shen. Given her pooroutcome with medications, she was an excellent candidate for epilepsy surgery.

Until recently, removing Jennifers lesion would require a craniotomy which opensthe skull to expose the brain. A craniotomy can involve several weeks of recovery

and greater risks.

Dr. Shens colleague, neurosurgeon Dr. Mark R. Lee, offered the cutting-edgeprocedure Jennifer needed at University Medical Center Brackenridge. Under hissteady hand, Jennifer became the first adult patient in Central Texas to undergo anew form of minimally-invasive epilepsy surgery. The lesion causing the seizureswas successfully ablated with an MRI-guided laser probe. After only one nightrecovering at the hospital, Jennifer went home with just two stitches.

The hole in my head was smaller than the tip of my pinky finger, said Jennifer.This surgery was a night and day difference from whats involved with a fullcraniotomy.

GIVINGGENEROUSLY

THERES A SPECIAL FEELING THAT COMES OVER YOU when you witness something historic.

Thats how I felt at the groundbreaking for Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas.

Ive seen a lot of dirt turned on impressive properties in my 30-plus years of commercial real estate

development. But this was different. This event did not just kick off construction of a new hospital; it kicked off

a new future of care in our community.

Central Health and Dell Medical School partners, along with a medical resident and a former trauma patient,

spoke of four philosophical cornerstones that will guide the work of this new teaching hospital: improving

medical care, treating each patient with dignity, educating the next generation of clinicians, and innovating

through research.

Support from the community will bring these

aspirations to life and be the glue that holds it firmly

together for future generations. You can help. I

encourage you to give generously to meet the $50

million goal. We can elevate the health of our city, one

person, one commitment, one donation at a time.

Thank you for all you do to carry on Setons mission

and the work of the Daughters of Charity.

Dan Herd, CHAIRMAN

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR NOTEDans term as The Seton Fund Chair ended in September, but his wisdom and influence will continue to inspire our work

for years to come. Many thanks to Dan for his perseverance, ha rd work and generous engagement as chair the past two years.

that legacy by donating to the Continuing the Mission Campaign. These gifts honoring the

Daughters will support construction and equipment at Seton Medical Center Austin and

ongoing commitment to their mission for future generations.

As Sister Gertrude says, Nothing ever stays the same, but the mission of Seton will last. Its

in your hands now and it will be good. Each of us can play a role in keeping the memory

and calling of the Daughters alive in our community. To make a gift, please contact The

With the end of 2014 just a few months away, are

you starting to think about end-of-year gifts and tax

planning? If the answer is yes, in addition to giving cash,

there are two alternative giving options to consider:

Appreciated asset gifts, such as stocks or real

estate. By giving your appreciated asset to Seton

(not selling it yourself), you will bypass capital gains

tax, create a charitable tax deduction, and avoid the

tax on net investment income.

Charitable life income plans, such as a charitable

gift annuity, can be created with cash or, better yet,

with a low-yielding asset (e.g. a stock that pays a 1%

dividend) to give you a higher income stream while

making a generous gift to Seton. Benefits include

income to you or a loved one, a current income tax

deduction, and a bypass of all or a portion of the

capital gains.

Giving appreciated assets is one of the most

tax efficient ways to support The Seton Fund.

For more information, please see setonfund.org/

creative-ways-to-give, or contact The Seton Fund

at 512-324-1990.

Mike Gibbs was doing an everyday task

putting an empty bottle in the recycling

binwhen it hit him. Mike says he

became nauseous, broke into a sweat and felt like a

mule hit me in the chest. But, it was over quickly and

the retired software engineer felt fine so he didnt go

to the doctor until the next morning.

There, his doctor determined 78-year-old Mike

had actually suffered a heart attack. An ambulance

was called to rush him to Seton Medical Center

Austin, renowned for its cardiac service. After

running more tests, doctors discovered somethingeven more alarmingMikes heart was only working

at 30% capacity.

In Setons catheterization lab, cardiologist

Osvaldo Gigliotti put a stent to open a blocked

artery to get the blood flowing again to Mikes

heart. Still worried about Mike having another

heart attack, 90 days after the stent was put in, a

Seton electrophysiologist installed a precautionary

defibrillator in Mikes chest. It delivers an electric

shock to the heart that treats, in a matter of seconds,

any future cardiac episode or irregular heartbeat.

Through your generous support, Seton offers

some of the most advanced and comprehensive

cardiac care in Central Texas, care like Mike received.

Our experts use the latest technology to treat every

type of heart problem, for every person who comes

through the doors, no matter their health problem,

emergency or economic status.

Your gifts to the Leading the Way campaign

will elevate cardiovascular, oncology and intensivecare programs to a level that is unparalleled in the

region. With your support, we can continue to

provide world-class care to people like Mike.
