Just one person
“Just one person” is where the philanthropy journey begins. As each
of us walks our own path, we meet other donors who join us, “…and
then another, and another…” All of us, doing just one thing…giving…
and changing so many lives in our community.
2013 was a year of transition and excitement. Jim Sealy, Foundation
president, announced his retirement and Mary Klinger was appointed
as his successor. Jim received the Founders Award at the June 13
Koehler Legacy
Society Celebration
of Generosity.
We received our largest
Guardian Angel gift
to date, a $100,000
anonymous donation
on behalf of 1West-
Behavioral Health. The
family that made the gift
has built a relationship
with Dr. Rick Larson;
this was their first gift
to the Foundation.
For the first time, we are including several pages on UnityPoint
Health – St. Luke’s Hospital. Please give special attention to this
section, which punctuates the importance of our role in supporting
the hospital and its innovative, patient-centered programs.
Looking ahead to 2014, we will be supporting the hospital’s campaign
for Eastern Iowa’s first Ronald McDonald Family Room®, a place
where families with an infant in the NICU or a child in Pediatrics can
rest and gather while staying close to their family members.
Thank you to the many generous donors who continue to give so that
our community has the best health care possible through St. Luke’s
Hospital. We are honored to work with you.

During the last week of his life,
Ron Mahany told his wife Pam,
“Be sure to send thank-you cards
to my nurses.” Remembering
those words nearly 12 years later,
Pam says, “Ron was always think-
ing of others.”
Ron’s caring nature was evident
when, despite the fact that he
was dying, he made it a priori-
ty to establish a memorial fund.
“Ron was very grateful to his
team at St. Luke’s Physical Re-
habilitation Division,” says Ron’s
sister, Linda Neilsen. “It was im-
portant to Ron to stay mobile as
long as possible.” Ron’s physical
therapists helped him strengthen
his muscles and offered encour-
agement. “Ron looked forward to
physical therapy,” says his father,
Gene. “It was hard work but he
enjoyed going.”
Ron would be pleased to know
his memorial fund also helped his
family. “It gave us something to
do, something to focus on after
Ron’s death,” says Pam. She and
Gene met with St. Luke’s Founda-
tion staff to work out the details
of Ron’s memorial fund. “They
suggested an endowment, which
allows us to spend the interest
without touching the principal,”
says Gene. “You don’t need a
million dollars to start an en-
dowment. We did it with $20,000
from family and friends.”
The Ronald L. Mahany Award
is presented annually to three
associates of St. Luke’s Physical
Rehabilitation Division who are
nominated by coworkers and
selected by a committee of
hospital employees. Ron’s family
attends the awards ceremony each
fall and enjoys meeting the recip-
ients, who use their $750 stipend
to attend continuing education
programs. Susan Klopfenstein, a
2013 winner, attended a workshop
on language growth in autistic
preschool children. “I am very
thankful to use these funds for such
an amazing workshop,” she says.
Says Pam, “Ron’s caring presence
continues today through his award.”

2013 Patient Care Excellence Award Winners
St. Luke’s Foundation’s Patient
Care Excellence Award Program
recognizes health care providers
who demonstrate outstanding
achievement in their chosen
field. The Foundation could not
provide these scholarships and
awards without the generosity
from our donors who have a
passion and commitment to fur-
thering health care providers’ ed-
ucation. For more than 30 years,
our donors have created funds
at St. Luke’s Foundation. Today
these funds provide the financial
resources for St. Luke’s associates
to continue their learning.

Philanthropy has made a difference
in the lives of St. Luke’s patients
from the hospital’s earliest days,
when donors gave bed sheets,
fruits and vegetables to be used
for patient care.
Every donor, with his or her gift,
makes an impact on the pro-
grams and services offered at
St. Luke’s. Be that one person to
step forward and inspire others
with your generous act of giving.

“Life’s most persistent
and urgent question
is, ‘What are you
doing for others?’.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
As in years past, our 2013
employee giving campaign, called
iCare, showed how passionate
associates are about St. Luke’s
and our community. More than
1,000 associates raised $279,689
when they gave to one or more
of the giving opportunities, which
included St. Luke’s Foundation’s
iGrant Program, St. Luke’s Auxil-
iary, United Way and Variety.
Funded through our iCare Cam-
paign, iGrant is an internal grant
program created to provide funds
for equipment, programs and
services that cannot be funded
in other ways. iGrants are dis-
tributed twice a year through
an application process managed
by St. Luke’s Foundation and a
selection committee comprised
of St. Luke’s associates.
Grants ranging from $500 to
$15,000 were awarded to 19
St. Luke’s departments.
Thank you for trusting us to
make decisions towards the
best use of your money.
“I’d like to thank associates
for their support of our iCare
Campaign,” says Mary Klinger,
St. Luke’s Foundation president.
“Donations of any size by just
one employee, and another,
and another truly come togeth-
er to make a difference for our
patients, their families and our
community.”

Cedar Rapids hometown girl
Helen G. Nassif’s life has been
an exciting and fulfilling one. In
Washington, D.C., she attended
George Washington Law School
and became the first woman to
serve on a bank board of direc-
tors. Ms. Nassif also established
a successful real estate develop-
ment and construction company
in Maryland. But no matter where
Ms. Nassif’s journey took her, she
always carried Cedar Rapids and
St. Luke’s in her heart.
Just as she did in her professional
life, Ms. Nassif stepped forward to
lead by example. With a passion
for Cedar Rapids and St. Luke’s,
she has made giving a way of life,
supporting the hospital and shap-
ing how we provide care for our
community. Ms. Nassif’s generos-
ity and vision exemplify the idea
that just one person can have a
transformational impact.
Her most recent gift created the
Helen G. Nassif Community
Cancer Center of Iowa, which
celebrated its opening June 2013.
The Center is dedicated to im-
proving the quality of life for all
cancer patients and their families
through its philosophy of phy-
sician-driven, patient-centered
cancer treatment and care.
In addition to helping change the
way cancer care is provided in
our community, Ms. Nassif has
also transformed care at St. Luke’s
Hospital.
• The Nassif Heart Center (in
honor of her brother, Dr. John
G. Nassif)
• The Helen G. Nassif Center for
Women’s and Children’s Health
• The Helen G. Nassif Pavilion,
the hospital’s new main
entrance
Ms. Nassif shows that the legacy
of one person does make a last-
ing impact. Lives are changed for
the better through her vision and
ongoing commitment. We are
forever grateful for her gifts and
dedication to St. Luke’s.

Just one person“Too often we underestimate
the power of a touch, a smile,
a kind word, a listening ear,
an honest compliment, or the
smallest act of caring, all of
which have the potential to
turn a life around.”

Tallgrass Business Resources –
a local office furniture, interior
design and office supply com-
pany – believes in supporting
the community where they do
business. The company was
formed in June 2011 when third-
generation owners John and
Phil Wasta of Pioneer Workspace
Solutions in Cedar Rapids and
Dave and Doug Parsons of
Frohwein Office Supply in
Coralville decided to merge.
Tallgrass has donated to St. Luke’s
Foundation’s General Fund in
2012 and 2013 and foresees do-
nating to that fund in the future.
“St. Luke’s Hospital plays a critical
role in the Cedar Rapids health
care community,” says Phil Wasta.
“The hospital is also a key player
in Eastern Iowa’s regional health
care presence.”
While Wasta and his partners
appreciate the hospital’s quality
care, they are equally impressed
with St. Luke’s proactive work
to make Cedar Rapids healthier.
“By supporting the Foundation,
we’re supporting the community
outreach efforts of St. Luke’s in
addition to bricks and mortar,”
says Phil. “St. Luke’s programs
on diabetes prevention and
smoking cessation address many
of the issues that put people in
the hospital. The hospital shares
its expertise to help people live
healthier lives.”
St. Luke’s has been the Wasta
family’s hospital “forever,” says
Phil. “I became more aware of
how the hospital serves the
community when my mom was
on the hospital auxiliary board
several years ago.” Many of
St. Luke’s services came as a sur-
prise to Phil. “Since I had never
used some of their services, like
the Child Protection Center, I
wasn’t aware of all the needs
that were being met.”
When it comes to the entities
that give to non-profits in Cedar
Rapids, Tallgrass is a small player,
explains Phil. “But when enough
small players contribute, their
combined resources make a
significant impact.”

St. Luke’s Foundation received
a $100,000 anonymous Guardian
Angel gift in honor of Dr. Rick
Larsen and the entire 1West staff.
This is the largest Guardian Angel
gift received by UnityPoint Health
– St. Luke’s Foundation.
“We want to honor Dr. Rick Larsen
and the entire 1West staff for the
excellent care they provided our
loved one,” states the anonymous
donor. “Thank you.”
UnityPoint – St. Luke’s Hospital is
one of the largest mental health
providers in Iowa. 1West is a
secure center for older adults
who are experiencing either
acute episodes of mental illness
or dementia. Dr. Larsen has
provided psychiatric care for
St. Luke’s inpatients for decades.
He is well respected by the staff
and his patients.
“We are extremely grateful for
the generosity of this anonymous
donor,” says Mary Klinger, pres-
ident of St. Luke’s Foundation.
“There is often a stigma associated
with mental health or behavioral
health. This Guardian Angel gift
will provide us the opportunity to
talk about mental health in a way
that has never been done before
in our community.”

health care projects that improve
the health and wellness of rural
residents. This year’s matching

Since then, the Foundation has
awarded more than $290,000
in matching grants to support
emergency medical services
in Benton, Cedar, Delaware,
Iowa, Johnson, Jones, Linn and
Poweshiek counties.
The Foundation created the Rural

2013A year in review
The future looks very strong for UnityPoint Health – Cedar Rapids as it was recently announced it’s the first and only health care organization in Iowa to be selected to join the Mayo Clinic Care Network.
Specialists at UnityPoint Health – Cedar Rapids can now consult Mayo Clinic knowledge and expertise using a variety of elec-tronic tools and services and connect directly with Mayo Clinic experts on complex diagnosis and treatment plans.
The collaboration benefits patients in Eastern Iowa in many ways, including:
• More patients stay home and avoid unnecessary travel for answers to complex medical questions
• High-quality, low-cost care right here in Cedar Rapids
• Doctors connecting on patient care at no additional cost to patients
“We would like to acknowledge the generous support this collabo-ration is receiving from St. Luke’s Foundation,” said Ted Townsend, UnityPoint Health – Cedar Rapids
president and CEO. “They rec-ognized this innovative program was something special to offer our patients and community and are funding the first year subscription to the Mayo Clinic Care Network. We are grateful for their tremen-dous support and vision.”
To learn more about the collabo-ration between UnityPoint Health doctors and Mayo Clinic experts go to unitypoint.org/mayo.
Dear friends,
Changes came fast and furiously
in 2013. Nationally, the health
care industry started to move
away from fee-for-service and
began placing a value on patient
outcomes. We knew this time
would come and St. Luke’s and
UnityPoint Health are uniquely
positioned to lead these changes,
which focus on care for a lifetime,
not a visit, test or admission alone.
Our network of providers incor-
porates all levels of care, from
hospital to doctor to home health,
and spans a sizable geographical
region. We are making a strong
impact in the communities we
serve. We are leading the change
toward health management and
disease prevention all while im-
proving care and lowering costs.
It makes sense our health system,
the Iowa Health System, chose
to change its name to UnityPoint
Health. The new name signifies
we are approaching health care in
a new and
better way,
focusing
more on
patients
and the
coordina-
tion of
their care.
And be-
cause we
are no longer just an Iowa organi-
zation, this new name also better
represents our partners in Illinois
and Wisconsin.
We have developed a team-based
approach with our clinic and
home health partners over the
years, and the name UnityPoint
Health demonstrates the way our
network has become a point of
unity for our patients. By unifying
all of the fragmented components
of a complex health care system,
our doctors, nurses and staff have
a renewed emphasis on putting
the patient and their family at the
center of everything we do. It is a
new and powerful way to ensure
we continue to live our mission,
which is to give the health care
we’d like our loved ones to
receive.
We are honored to care for you
and your family.

Patient-centered Medical Home
UnityPoint Clinics are undergoing
a transformation aimed at pro-
viding a team-based approach
to care called Patient-Centered
Medical Home (PCMH). Studies
indicate this approach to primary
care saves money, reduces un-
necessary services and improves
health.
The goal of the team is to im-
prove coordination of care.
The medical home serves as the
source for prioritized health
issues, striving to clarify and
prioritize health conditions.
Research-based guidelines are
then utilized to address problems
in a manner that results in the
best outcomes for every patient.
2013 was a great year for
UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s
Hospital
Our highlights by the numbers:
Fast heart attack care
59 minutes – that’s the average
time it takes for doctors at
St. Luke’s to clear blocked heart
arteries. The goal is 90 minutes or
less. We met this goal 100
percent in 2013.
LiFeGuard air ambuLance
308 flights for LifeGuard in 2013
means 24/7 lifesaving care for
rural Eastern Iowans. The familiar
blue helicopter was also replaced
this year with a 2013 Bell 407.
new prostate cancer treatment
46 doses of Radium 233 were
given to patients at St. Luke’s.
St. Luke’s is one of the first
hospitals in Iowa to offer this
treatment, which can extend
the lives of men with advanced
prostate cancer.
radiation therapy
2015: The year St. Luke’s expects
to open its standalone radiation
therapy services at the Helen G.
Nassif Community Cancer Center.
This service will complete the
continuum of care for nearly half
the cancer patients in Linn County
who start their cancer treatment
at St. Luke’s.
