highest quality patient care.
The ongoing support of local businesses and community members has

Columbus Community Hospital Foundation May 2015 - April 2016 Annual Report
FROM THE FOUNDATION CHAIRMAN
Con Nosal, Chairman
It has been my privilege and an honor to serve
as Chairman of the Columbus Community
Hospital Foundation for the 2015-2016 fiscal
year. With the strong support from individuals
and businesses in the communities we serve,
the Foundation was again able to provide significant financial help to a number of important Hospital programs, and the Hospital staff
has been most supportive of our efforts.
A total of $542,000 was contributed by the
Foundation toward many important programs
and equipment for the Hospital. The major
project funded by the Foundation this past
year has been the addition of 3D Tomosynthesis mammogram equipment at the cost of
$385,000. This new unit, which went into
operation in January, has already identified a
number of breast cancers that were not and
could not have been detected by the machine
it replaced. Other major projects such as the
Alternative Gravity Treadmill for the new
rehabilitation facility at the Wellness Center,
a whirlpool for the Skilled Nursing Unit,
the STAR Cancer Rehab program, Patient
Assistance, and many others were funded by
the Foundation. It is the new objective of the
Foundation to provide $400,000 in the current
fiscal year toward the purchase of a state-ofthe-art Wide Bore MRI machine to replace
the current equipment.
Included in the funds raised for the Foundation this past year was a significant donation from the estate of a community individual. This generous donation provided
an excellent example of how individuals
can be remembered in the community
through their generous financial support.
A community lake near the Hospital was
named “Lake Esther” to honor the donor’s
mother. In addition, the many hours of
volunteer time required to conduct the
Foundation’s major annual fundraising
event – a golf tournament – resulted in
another $80,000 contribution to support
our programs. Our thanks to all who help
make this annual event possible, including
the many business sponsors and the staff
of the Elks Country Club.
Two important goals of the Foundation
are to help fund projects as mentioned
above, and to ultimately have major funds
available to assist in maintaining our Hospital system’s excellence as one of the top
providers of health care in Nebraska. A
long-term joint investment program with
the Hospital is in place to ensure that,
when the time comes, the community is
able to afford major updates or even a new
facility to keep up with ongoing changes
in health care technology. In this regard,
I am pleased to report that our major investment portfolio has been able to continue to
grow throughout the turbulent markets of
the past year.
I will conclude by offering a major “thank
you” to the countless ladies of the Columbus
Community Hospital Auxiliary who have
provided nearly two million dollars in support
of numerous major projects over the past 44
years, and look forward to their continuing
support as their time is now blended into that
of the many other volunteers helping out at
our Hospital. A special “thank you” to Shirley
Hroza, Auxiliary President, for her leadership
and tireless efforts over the past year. Finally,
thanks to the past members of the CCHF
Board of Directors who have concluded their
terms – Dr. Ron Ernst, Pat Anderson, Lee
Rupp, and Jamie Ferguson, as we welcome
Marilyn Murray, Dr. Jeremy Albin, and Jay
Trofolz to the Board.
Sincerely,
Con Nosal
