All across eastern North Carolina, your gifts are transforming lives and giving new hope to families, neighbors and friends. For this reason, our report this year follows the theme, “We are Grateful.” Literally thousands of individuals have much to be thankful for, thanks to your support. In the world of philanthropy, we often measure success in the form of dollars raised, the number of gifts or other yardsticks. In health care philanthropy, it’s important to realize there are real people behind these numbers. There are people who are sharing selflessly to give a chance at life to people they don’t know and probably will never meet. In this year’s report, you’ll meet a physician couple in Ahoskie, who along with their 10-year-old twin sons, have made a five-year donation supporting cancer care at Vidant Roanoke-Chowan Hospital. And, because we all know healing has a faith component, you’ll want to read about Denise Edmondson’s support for creating a chapel, family room and courtyard at Vidant Bertie Hospital. We’re also pleased to highlight the Taylor family’s gift to the Vidant Cancer Care campaign, one of many over the years. Again this year, Vidant Health employees inspired us all with their generosity. A growing number are giving at orientation, before they’ve even received their first paycheck. Some are continuing a decades-long tradition of giving bi-weekly through payroll deduction. Others are memorializing someone special through our Lights of Love program. Healing people and making them whole again is a tremendous part of what Vidant Health does every day. Equally important, we’re working to prevent disease and help people live the healthiest life they can to avoid a hospital visit. These outreach efforts are made possible through our Community Benefits Grants Program. You’ll be inspired to read of 142 grants totaling more than $2 million awarded last year to worthwhile, health-focused programs throughout the region. They’re making a difference in communities near and far, including Conetoe, Windsor, Murfreesboro and Ocracoke. The impact of your collective gifts over the years makes it exceedingly difficult for me to announce my retirement in March. I came here 28 years ago when Pitt County Memorial Hospital was a 600-bed stand-alone hospital. Today, 909-bed Vidant Medical Center is at the geographic center of a health system whose phenomenal growth has been spurred by a clear, uncompromising mission to serve the health care needs of this region. Your gifts have helped keep this mission alive and for that I am beyond grateful. Here’s to an even brighter future, fueled by your generosity. Joel K. Butler President, Vidant Health Foundation 5 Vidant Health Cancer Tower We are GRATEFUL for a shared vision of hope A Family Gives Together The Taylors—Etta, Donald and Jackie, Ronald and Nan, and their families—support the new Cancer Center with a shared vision of hope A family touched by cancer, and the uncertainty it brings, wants to make the experience less stressful for others in their community and beyond. The Taylor Family of Greenville has a long tradition of supporting the medical center and its programs, and when they had the chance to help build a new treatment center for the disease, they were all in. Led by mom and cancer survivor Etta, with her sons Donald and Ronald, and their families, the Taylors hope their support will change life for cancer patients throughout the region. That hope begins with early diagnosis, like the one that saved Etta’s life. “I was fortunate to have found it so early,” she says, gratefully looking back on the experience three years ago. She personally knows what it means to struggle through cancer, with its unknowns and emotional ups and downs. She is deeply committed to helping open this advanced center to the community, where it will improve life for people of all ages, with all types of cancer. Her commitment, like that of her family, goes beyond her own personal awareness, and expresses her vision for this place where all people can find the newest technology in a comforting setting. “Even without having Donald and Ronald grew up in the business, and their it myself, I would have supported the center,” she says. parents showed them the value of service, hard work, and giving to others. The Taylors know recovering from cancer depends on more than medical treatments. The new cancer center will provide services The brothers were about 13 when they began working at their in holistic, healing surroundings that comfort patients and Stantonsburg Road location, after leaving the first shop on allow them to mend from the inside out.

Their mom, a Having complete services nearby will reduce the additional graduate of East Carolina Teachers College, took care of the effort needed to go from one location to another by patients and bookkeeping and customer relations. families who are already grappling with illness. Moreover, the center’s focus on early detection will lessen the hardship, and Through hard work and personal engagement the business cost burden, on them, too. thrived to include records and equipment storage in addition to moving services. The brothers participate in each move to “Early detection is the key for eastern North Carolina,” Donald assure their clients are happy. Taylor says. “The earlier you detect it, the earlier you can respond.” As the business has grown, so has the Taylor family’s support The Taylor family’s generosity stretches back many years. for their community. Their father set an example, serving as It began with an in-kind gift to Children’s Miracle Network a member of the Jaycees and Kiwanis. These days, Donald Hospitals more than 30 years ago. In additional to supporting and wife, Jackie, along with Ronald, and wife, Nan, serve as the Children’s Hospital, they supported the East Carolina Heart volunteers or members of boards for the hospital, university, Institute and the Service League Interfaith Chapel at Vidant and civic organizations. For many years their company has Medical Center. All three families have made a major gift to the stored without charge the equipment for the Children’s new Cancer Tower. Miracle Network Hospitals broadcast, and the family has also supported other programs and services. Etta Taylor and her late husband, William “Bill” Taylor formed their business, ABC Moving and Storage, in 1949. Their sons continued on next page Cancer touches everybody. This cancer center is going to mean so much for eastern North Carolina... 7 Vidant Health Cancer Tower – The Taylor Family continued “When you get involved, you know you’re doing something for the community,” Donald says. Their gift to the Heart Institute elevated their commitment to bringing life-saving care to their community. “Greenville and East Carolina University needed the support of the community,” Ronald Taylor says. Having heart care in their own community brought an end to traveling long distances for treatment. Together, the family provided funding for several catheterization labs. “People were having to go to other places.” With their support of the cancer center, they want to improve the outlook for people struggling with that disease. That means bringing services together in a single location, as well as offering the healing surroundings that have been shown to improve recovery. Their giving springs from a desire to help ease the pain and burden on other families who are struggling with the disease, reminded as they are that nearly everyone is affected by cancer. Nan believes their gift and the center will save lives. “With earlier detection, and local services, survival will increase,” Nan says. In addition to Etta’s experience, other family members have suffered because of it. Their experiences have inspired the family to support this project to make a difference—for everyone. “All of us have family members who have died of cancer,” Jackie Taylor says. “Cancer touches everybody. This cancer center is going to mean so much for eastern North Carolina, which has one of the highest rates of cancer in the country. It will be a world-class treatment center.” Rendering of the new welcome center and shared lobby for entering the East Carolina Heart Institute at Vidant Medical Center and the Cancer Center. Community Benefit Grants Program We are GRATEFUL for strong partnerships The Community Benefit Grants Program is a partnership People across eastern North Carolina have benefited from between Vidant Health, the Vidant Health Foundation and local the funded initiatives.

Their 2 year old son, Bryson, was diagnosed with a Wilm’s tumor, which is a rare form of kidney cancer. Clay, a family nurse practitioner in the transitional care unit at James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital suddenly found himself on the receiving side of care. Bryson had to undergo surgery to have one of his kidneys removed and he underwent several months of chemotherapy and other treatments at the children’s hospital. It became very important to the Parker’s to do something to show their support for the care their son received. The following year, they began participating in the Change Bandits program through the annual Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals radiothon and decided to put together a special event to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals program. The Parkers hosted an event at their home. They invited family and friends to a backyard barbecue, where they enjoyed games, a silent auction, food and good company. In return, their guests could make a contribution to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. From this backyard barbeque, Bryson’s Birdies for Kids was formed. Bryson’s Birdies for Kids has grown from this backyard barbeque to a two-day event with dinner, dancing, silent and live auctions on Friday night and golf on Saturday. In 2016, Bryson’s Birdies raised $33,000 bringing their collective total over the past six years to more than $100,000. Bryson’s Birdies for Kids has an incredible committee that assists in their event every year. In addition, Ironwood Golf & Country Club has co-sponsored the event for the past several years. The Parkers are forever grateful for the hospital and care their son received. They say they can never put a monetary value on what they received but their mission is to “strive to make every effort possible to pass it along to families undergoing the same situations that mine did,” says Clay. Clay and Marcie have three other children, Layne, Chase and Reese. [We] strive to make every effort possible to pass it along to families undergoing the same situations that mine did. 2016 CMN HOSPITALS CAMPAIGN GIFTS IN KIND AND FRIENDS 99.5 WXNR-FM 1070 WNCT AM 101.9 WIKS-FM 103.3 WMGV-FM 106.5 WSFL-FM 107.9 WNCT FM A1 Awards & Promotions ABC Moving & Storage, Inc./ Ronald and Donald Taylor Abram’s ASAP – Photo and Camera ASAP Tent Rental Atlantic Enterprises AVA Formals Marion P.

Hughes $1,800,000 Children’s/CMN Service Lines Community Benefit Cancer Tower Finance Officer 17 Vidant Bertie Hospital Development Council We are GRATEFUL for a compassionate heart Denise Edmondson, Nurse Case Manager at Vidant Bertie Hospital, has become a staunch advocate of Advance Care Planning and End of Life conversations. She has been meeting with patients and their families, in conjunction with her other case management duties, to have these difficult conversations and to discuss end-of-life decisions. Denise was often frustrated that there was simply not an appropriate place at Vidant Bertie to talk with patients and their loved ones about such an extremely important matter. When she learned about the plans to add a chapel and family room to the hospital, one of Denise’s first thoughts was, “Finally, there will be somewhere to discuss end-of-life care planning in private!” Since the Vidant Bertie Hospital Development Council began raising funds for the chapel, family room, and courtyard, Denise has consistently contributed to the project. Denise has given generously— from the heart. ...patients, their family members and the hospital staff continue to benefit from her compassionate and charitable heart. Since the ribbon-cutting for the Robert B. Spivey Chapel and the Perdue Farms Family Room on March 23, 2016, barely a day has gone by that Denise has not used the lovely, tranquil and spiritual spaces to meet with families during difficult times. She also seeks the peace of the chapel often—just to be alone for a few minutes—when she needs some personal quiet time to reflect. The chapel, family room, and courtyard were made possible, in part, from the generous support of many community businesses, churches, and individuals, not to mention Vidant Bertie staff members, and employees from through-out the Vidant system. Denise Edmondson is a wonderful example of someone who “cares local and gives local.” The Vidant Bertie Hospital patients, their family members and the hospital staff continue to benefit from her compassionate and charitable heart. 2016 VIDANT BERTIE DONORS Albemarle Area United Way Dr. and Mrs. Joselito S.

The neighborhood was gearing up for Christmas, with houses and yards decorated with lights, greenery, and red and green bows. Christmas trees, with presents piled underneath, sparkled in the windows. Everyone was filled with the holiday spirit. Everyone, that is, except Emma. Emma’s grandmother and her next door neighbor were in the hospital. This was not supposed to be happening at Christmas. Emma wanted to do something, something to help her grandmother and her neighbor. Something to help the hospital that was making them well. But, what to do? Emma got together with her friends in the neighborhood and came up with an idea… A week or so later, a call came to the Executive Director of Chowan Hospital Foundation. “There is a group of children selling handmade bracelets and other jewelry at Edenton Lake and Harbor. They are dressed up and really working hard to raise money for Vidant Chowan Hospital. You’ve got to see this!” Sure enough, there they were…11 children, some wearing various reindeer and Santa paraphernalia (and most in sock or bare feet since it was very warm!) And, indeed, they were working hard. When a car would drive around the circle, they lined both side of the street (and yes, they may have even jumped into the middle of the street) and waved their signs and arms to alert the driver of the wonderful “must haves” they should buy for Christmas presents that would also help Vidant Chowan. It was a very effective system, to say the least. At the end of the day, the group of caring young people had raised over $160 to help Vidant Chowan Hospital. continued on next page 21 Vidant Chowan Hospital Children’s Jewelry Sale continued When members of the group attended the Chowan Hospital We applaud these young people, and young people everywhere, Foundation January board meeting to present their earnings, who understand and act on the principle of giving of themselves they said simply, “We wanted to give back and help.

At Vidant Duplin Hospital, the grants program has enabled its Foundation—and by extension the hospital—to initiate and nurture partnerships with many small volunteer, non-profit community organizations, as well as towns and municipalities. Duplin County, one of the state’s largest agricultural counties, has no town with a population greater than 4,000. Each town and community is proud of and enjoys its own identity. One of these communities is the town of Greenevers with a population of approximately 650, about 85% of which is African-American. 4Brothers Community Outreach is a non-profit formed this past year by four young men in Greenevers who saw a need to serve their community, particularly its youth, through education and mentorship programs. The “brothers” who founded the organization are Harry Sutton, Jr., Keith Brinson, Bruce McCallop and John Carr. All are friends, and Harry and Keith were classmates at the local high school. With a main focus of addressing the needs of K-8th grade youth, the group’s first project was a “backpack buddies” event before school began this fall, helping to provide needed school supplies to elementary and middle-schoolers for the upcoming year. They have also provided volunteers throughout the year to offer tutoring and mentoring to students after school. A friend of Harry’s sister, a social worker at a local group home grant committee. “It is really amazing and gratifying to see the for youth, helped the organization arrange a special Thanksgiving great programs that come out of these small communities and dinner for about ten foster children in need. For Christmas, all the good they do for the lives of the people. It just gives you they sponsored a “Secret Santa Sleigh” to collect toys for needy such a good feeling to be a part of it.” children in the community.

We knew Vidant school is out for the summer, nutrition becomes a problem.” Duplin had recently started offering cancer care services, so we got in touch with the Foundation to see if they could use the funds.” Since good nutrition is essential to good health, especially for growing children, the summer nutrition program may be a good The Foundation was of course happy to accept the funds. They fit for the Community Benefits grants program. Vidant Health’s were perhaps even happier to make this initial connection with vision of “rural health and wellness” can be realized when its 4Brothers—one they hope will grow into a lasting partnership hospitals and foundations work within their own communities— to meet common goals. One of the best ways they may be able oftentimes the very small, rural communities like Greenevers— to do that is through the Community Benefits program. partnering with local organizations like 4Brothers. “The great thing about the Community Benefits grant program— It is those partnerships and relationships that will achieve besides the great projects it supports—is the new connections the mission of both Vidant Health and the Vidant Health and partnerships it engenders between the hospital and other Foundation of “enhancing the quality of life for the people and groups and organizations in the community,” said Penny communities” they serve.

Friendraising? Vidant Edgecombe Hospital likes to think of their annual gala as both. This spring gala is the hospital’s signature event of the year, raising money to help fund significant projects within the hospital. 2016 was the third of a three year commitment to use gala proceeds for cancer services at Vidant Edgecombe Hospital. With great support from donors, individual and corporate sponsors, ticket sales and silent auction sales, net proceeds provided a gift of $100,000 to the construction costs of the new Cancer Center that will be built in 2017. A formal capital campaign began in 2016 to begin fundraising for the new cancer center. This new cancer facility will feature eight infusion bays facing a tranquil healing garden for patients to gaze upon while receiving treatment, two private infusion rooms that also face the healing garden, treatment and exam rooms, nurse’s station directly across from the infusion areas, waiting room, conference room, and an image renewal and resource room. Currently there is a cancer center at Vidant Edgecombe Hospital, but unfortunately Edgecombe County has far outgrown the use of this facility, and the hospital is in need of a larger area to provide care for their patients. Donors, both individuals and corporate, have supported the Vidant Edgecombe Hospital gala for many years, and continue to support this event for many reasons. “We look forward to the hospital gala every year,” said Mrs. Ginger Taylor. “Not only is it a chance for my continued on next page 27 Vidant Edgecombe Hospital Annual Gala continued Construction of the new Vidant Edgecombe Cancer Center will begin in early 2017.

Over time, Carol and Ed began to donate their time, talent, and treasure to help support the community they love, while helping their fellow neighbors in need. “We can’t always give as much as we want to, but we enjoy keeping track of the work that nonprofits are doing to serve our community,” said Carol, who, along with her husband, firmly believe that a major benefit of living in a small town is having a deeper understanding of what is going on in that community. Over the past 15 years, Carol and Ed have been exposed to the many resources and programs offered by The Outer Banks Hospital and continue to be impressed with the hospital’s program growth and development, as well as its vision for the future. Because of this vision, Carol and Ed recently donated to The Outer Banks Hospital Development Council. “The Outer Banks Hospital is growing and making an impact on the healthcare in this community. We’ve experienced it ourselves and have seen it among our friends. And, we wanted to help make a difference,” Carol continued. “To think there was no hospital here when we purchased our lot in 1997,” she reminisced. continued on next page 31 The Outer Banks Hospital – The Cowells continued Carol and Ed have shown past support for the breast cancer programs offered by The Outer Banks Hospital, and in 2016, the Cowells decided to show an even deeper support for all of the cancer programs and services at The Outer Banks Hospital. “We hope to continue our support of the efforts of our community hospital for a long time to come,” Carol added.

Cancer is a diagnosis that can bring families and friends together in times of need. When the Roanoke-Chowan community learned that Vidant Roanoke-Chowan Hospital had a need to expand cancer services, they came together in support for hope. “We recognized the critical need for a new healing environment for our local patients with cancer,” states Sandra Woodard, director of development at the hospital. “The Vidant Roanoke-Chowan Hospital’s Directors’ Council established an ambitious fundraising goal of $250,000 to make a new cancer center possible.” A donor campaign was initially kicked off with a ‘Hosts for the Hospital’ event in local community members’ homes. A formal ‘cultivation event’ was held in November 2015 for potential donors to share giving opportunities in the areas of cancer care services. The Vidant Wellness Center-Ahoskie dedicated funds raised from the annual 5K Run during Ahoskie Heritage Days. Employees have given to the cancer care fund through the employee giving campaign annually. In 2014, the Hospital dedicated the new cancer care center. Designed with input from patient and family advisors, the new center is spacious enough to accommodate more patients with shorter wait times for treatment. Maria, a patient who has battled cancer for some time, would have traveled out of town to receive the same services she can now have closer to home. “This is one of the best things to happen at our local hospital,” she remarked on her way to the cancer center one day. The addition of a patient navigator for cancer care patients has been welcomed by all. An experienced cancer care nurse meets with patients and assists with resources including medication and transportation assistance. She also opens doors to enhance the programs offered to breast cancer patients. “We have been so pleased with the response from local donors,” said Woodard. “The Ahoskie Garden Club led efforts to design and plant a ‘garden of hope’ right outside of the windows in the new cancer care center.” Recognition opportunities in memory or honor of a loved one with cancer were made possible and local business/industries responded by naming exam rooms and treatment chairs. When the Cancer Center Donor Wall ‘Reveal’ event was held in 2016 to celebrate over $100,000 in contributions from over 60 community members and area organizations, two cancer care patients gave personal testimonials about how much they had been helped locally to receive services. Efforts continue with the renovations of the radiation oncology department (in a separate building) scheduled to re-open in 2017 bringing the latest advances in radiation therapy for patients. Dr. Madhu Parmar and Dr. Jamie Udwadia, two members of the Vidant Roanoke-Chowan Hospital One family member summed it up by saying, “I feel so blessed that Vidant medical staff, along with their two boys, Arjan and Roanoke-Chowan Hospital has an awesome cancer center with exceptional nurses Alex contributed as a family to the cancer care center. and doctors.

The “party” they make is called the Darleen’s Flamingo 5K—the person it’s meant to honor and pay tribute to is Linda Darleen Smith. In 2005, Darleen began a 5 year battle with breast cancer. During that time she continued to work at Northeast Elementary School as the Media Coordinator/Librarian while she enjoyed life with her family and friends on her cherished Pungo Creek. Darleen’s life motto was simply put—“You make your own party” and she did, until she lost her courageous fight with cancer in April of 2010 at the age of 59. Since then, each year for one Saturday in October the close-knit community comes to life in her honor, not just to throw a party, but to fulfill a mission—a mission to continue the fight Darleen started against cancer. Over the summer of 2010, the Smith family decided to hold an event to honor their mother, wife, sister, aunt, and friend while raising awareness of cancer. The family appropriately decided to host a 5K so they could share the waterfront community she loved so much with others. Darleen’s friends, family and neighbors coupled two aspects of her life into planning their annual party for their beloved Darleen—her zest for life and her fondness for pink flamingos. In support of the fight against cancer, runners and walkers arrive early suited up in bright pink from head to toe as they set out to take in the 5K course lined with pink flamingos and gorgeous water views. Seven years later, Darleen’s Flamingo 5K continues to surpass all expectations. Each year the annual event attracts more racers of all ages. At the recent 2016 race, 157 runners/walkers crossed the finish line. While 50 spirited volunteers assembled to host the neighborhood 5K.
