News for supporters of Community Home Health & Hospice Winter 2012
YOUR GIFTS MAKE A CARING COMMUNITY
Back in 1977, Lorraine Berndt, who worked as a public health nurse, was very concerned about the home health needs of the elderly population in Cowlitz County. She borrowed $10,000 and started Community Home Health, which she incorporated as a nonprofit agency with community support.
Your gifts these past 35 years have ensured that patients are not turned away because of their financial situation. Today, we continue to care for people at home by providing home care private duty, home health, hospice and grief support services. Your gifts benefit families right here where you live.
Community Home Health & Hospice continues to operate as a community-based nonprofit healthcare agency serving Washington and Oregon. We are one of the oldest hospices in the nation, having built the Pacific Northwest’s first freestanding Hospice Care Center in 1984.

FACING CHAllENGES TOGETHER
In 2012 we celebrate 35 years of caring for families in Southwest Washington. You have supported us all along as we delivered the highest quality, compassionate and dignified healthcare to individuals in their chosen place of residence. Thank you for entrusting us to care for you and your family. We are grateful, too, for your financial support and volunteer time given over the years, allowing us to provide excellent patient care and satisfaction.
We face the future with excitement, confident in our partnership to meet the challenges ahead. Our agency is prepared to manage the many changes taking place in the healthcare world. Costs are escalating, regulations are rising and government reimbursement is decreasing. In these difficult economic times, many are hard-pressed to afford healthcare, increasing the use of our charity care program.
We are making key investments to strengthen and grow our agency to ensure we are here for future generations. One investment includes a recently-installed state-of-the-art clinical information system so our staff can spend even more time focused on patients. We also implemented a new cost-saving telemonitoring program to help patients stay safe by staying in touch. We are expanding in Clark County to serve the growing senior population which is projected to double through 2030.
As a local, community-based nonprofit, our success depends on you—our patients, donors and volunteers. In this newsletter, you will see listed our many supporters who give their time, talent and treasure. We look forward to facing the challenges together.
Greg Pang, CEO
MEETING INCREASED NEEDS
During fiscal year 2010-11, more patients and families required care than ever before. We served 9% more home health patients and 13% more home care clients than the previous year. Our hospice service increased the most. We served 1,146 hospice families, which is an increase of 22% over the prior year. See our Community Benefit Report on page 13 for more information.

YOUR GIFTS
Thanks to you, we continue to provide the care, comfort and love that patients and families need wherever they live. A thoughtful family included this note with a memorial gift for their father:
“Over a period of months, you listened, reassured and guided us and even provided respite time toward the end. The nurses and aides began to feel like family. They were there for us when we needed help.”
Each gift from the heart is truly appreciated as we care for families now and in the future.
Donations received September 1-November 30, 2011 are listed below. Names in blue indicate gifts made in honor or memory of a loved one. We list all donations here, with the exception of those who wish to remain anonymous. If you see an error, contact Jonna at 360.415.5405 or jnicholson@chhh.org.
FREE GRIEF SUPPORT
Find peer support in a caring environment. Meetings are held in Longview and Vancouver. Anyone in our service area may participate, not just hospice families. Contact Linda at 360.414.5462 or lerickson@chhh.org about adult, teen and child bereavement support.

FREE PET CARE FOR HOSPICE PATIENTSPet Peace of Mind
Imagine a hospice patient who is unable to care for their beloved pet and worried if it will have a home in the future. With more than 63% of U.S. households owning pets, this situation confronts hospice patients every day.
Our agency is the first in Washington State to offer Pet Peace of Mind in partnership with Banfield Charitable Trust. This program helps hospice patients keep their pets home with them through their end-of-life journey by providing food, exercise, litter and other pet care. It will also assist with new home placement if needed.
Many pet owners consider their pets as part of their family. Studies show that a pet’s unconditional love and acceptance may be a very powerful coping mechanism for an owner experiencing major life transitions. Yet it may be difficult to care for a pet while on hospice. Fearing they will be separated from their pet’s emotional and spiritual support, some patients choose between keeping their pet or getting the hospice care they need.
The Pet Peace of Mind program keeps pets and hospice patients together, providing current pet care and future pet placement. Knowing their pet will be cared for provides great peace of mind to hospice patients and families.
PET vOlUNTEERS NEEDED!
Share your love of pets and support local hospice patients. Volunteers are needed to help care for hospice patients’ pets to include walking, feeding, cleaning and other pet chores.
Attend the first volunteer training in Longview on Thursday, February 23, 2012.
To volunteer or learn more about the Pet Peace of Mind program, contact Dev at 360.414.5465 or ddion@chhh.org.

“The Continuing Education Endowment is a way for me to ‘pay it forward’ and inspire others to participate in creating educational opportunities for future generations.”
~Rob Quoidbach
SCHOlARSHIPS CHANGE lIvES
A passion for education inspired Rob Quoidbach to establish the Community Home Health & Hospice Continuing Education Endowment. He made his initial gift through a tax-free distribution from his IRA and a bequest in his estate plans. Rob personally knows the value of scholarship support. As a student at Stanford in Palo Alto, CA, one of Rob’s professors recommended him for a scholarship based on his academic performance. The scholarship helped Rob graduate with a civil engineering degree in 1948. Rob also met his future wife at Stanford and they returned to Longview and built a successful construction business.
Rob endowed the fund so our employees can improve their professional skills while continuing to work. The power of education makes for successful stories like Sandra Hoven, RN. Sandra joined our agency as a Hospice Care Center and home care aide, earning RN and BSN degrees through scholarship support. She appreciated the valuable experience she was gaining as well as the flexible scheduling while working to obtain her nursing degree. Today, Sandra is a registered nurse and case manager for our agency.
Rob’s passion for education is reflected in the professionals and students who benefit from his philanthropy. In recognition of Rob’s gift, we are pleased to include him among the founding members of the Community Legacy Society. The Community Legacy Society recognizes and celebrates generous people like Rob who include Community Home Health & Hospice in their estate plans.
For information about this endowment or to become a Community Legacy Society member, contact Dev at 360.414.5465 or ddion@chhh.org.

“After surgery, the hospital expected to send me to a nursing home. We were surprised that you offered the level of care I needed at home. I believe it is important to support what you do.”
~ Lee, a patient and donor

EvERYONE SHOUlD HAvE ACCESS TO END-OF-lIFE CARE WHEN THEY NEED IT: ClARK COUNTY ExPANSION UPDATE
As a local, community-based nonprofit provider of hospice and bereavement services, our mission is to ensure that hospice services are available at the moment a patient or family needs it. This belief is the driving force behind our Clark County expansion in the Salmon Creek area.
In addition to our hospice program, we’ve provided home health and private duty home care in Clark County for nearly 25 years. We’ve seen our Clark County services grow by 500% over the past six years. With the population
of people 70 years and older projected to double over the next two decades, we’re building now to meet the current and future needs of Clark County families.
Our new 10-bed hospice care center will be the second hospice facility in the area, giving increased access to patients and families. Nestled among three acres of wetlands, the new facility will offer a homelike, serene setting with convenient interstate access. Also included will be space for visiting nurses, therapists, aides and other staff who travel throughout four counties to care for people wherever they call home. In addition, the grief support center, 150-seat conference center and an outdoor memorial garden will be added services for our community.
“There are not enough facilities for Hospice care in this area (Oregon and Washington). It is important that the services provided can be available to all who need it.”
~ Clark County resident supporter
