Memorial Commits $100,000 for New Bloodmobile
Following an emergency c-section,
Lauren’s kidneys and liver failed. For
several weeks she fought for her life.
After receiving 250 units of blood, she
rallied, recovered and is now doing
well.
Ninety-five percent of us who live to age
72 will need blood or blood products
at some point in our lives, yet only 5
percent of the population donates
blood on a regular basis. There is only
one source available for blood supply –
blood donors. A single blood donation
serves many purposes. Red blood cells
treat anemia and blood loss. Platelets
help stop the bleeding.
Plasma
transports cells, replaces volume and
assists in clotting.
needs for a reliable and dependable
source of blood. It now serves 19
area hospitals, although the largest
users by a wide margin are Memorial
and SJH. The old bloodmobile covered
81,000 miles, served nearly 2,000
bloodmobile operations and collected
nearly 40,000 units of donated blood.
The bloodmobile exceeded its useful life
– experiencing several fires as well as
mechanical difficulties. The increased
downtime lead to a decrease in the
volume of blood donations collected.
In order to better serve blood donors
in central and southern Illinois and
meet the community’s need, CICBC
purchased a new bloodmobile. The
new unit will be fully self-contained
Funding for the new bloodmobile was
provided by both hospitals. Memorial
Medical Center Foundation has
committed $100,000 to the project.
“The mission of the CIBC is to provide
the highest quality blood and related
services to meet the needs of the
communities we serve”, states David
Parsons, chief executive officer of the
CICBC. “The new bloodmobile will help
ensure that we can provide ample
blood supply for those who need it,”
added Parsons.

The Central Illinois Community Blood
Center (CICBC) was established jointly
in 1971 by Memorial Medical Center
(Memorial) and St. John’s Hospital
(SJH) to supply the two hospitals’
with five beds and two screening
rooms. It can be parked at the
worksite to accommodate employees
allowing them to remain at their place
of employment while donating blood.

Please consider making a contribution now to the Memorial Medical Center Foundation.
From the
Executive Director
We are very pleased
to announce a
$1.5 million gift we
received recently
from the estate of
Mary E. Munson,
who passed away
in 1981. You might
wonder why it took
nearly 30 years to
receive this gift. The answer is simple:
during those three decades, the Mary
E. Munson estate was providing for the
benefit of several relatives. When the
last of them passed away late last year,
the remainder of the estate passed to
Memorial.
Her financial advisors wisely used
a very effective means of satisfying
her wishes. They created a charitable
remainder unitrust to provide income
for several relatives, with a significant
remainder gift to support Memorial’s
healthcare mission.
The Memorial Medical Center
Foundation offers charitable gift
annuities and charitable remainder
unitrusts like Mary E. Munson’s. Both
are forms of charitable giving and
sound financial planning that allow you
to take an immediate tax deduction,
support the mission of a charity like
the Foundation, and secure an income
stream. In the case of a charitable gift
annuity, the annual income stream
provides additional peace of mind as it
is fixed for the rest of your life – and, if
you choose, that of your spouse.
Benefits of planned giving techniques
like these include:
 Large immediate tax deduction
 Annual annuity payments for life
 Capital gain is reduced and
spread over life expectancy if
funded with appreciated property
 Annuity income is partially tax free
2 VISION
Elena Kezelis
 Estate tax savings, depending on
future state of federal estate tax
These types of arrangements are
especially valuable for appreciated
stock. By transferring the stock to the
Foundation through a charitable gift
annuity, you can spread the capital
gain over your life expectancy (and, if
you choose, that of your spouse), and
guarantee a predictable future stream
of income.
If you prefer to explore possible
hedges against future inflation as
Mary E. Munson did, then a charitable
remainder unitrust may be advisable.
It provides a payout calculated on the
basis of the changing value of the trust
assets.
Her financial advisors wisely
used a very effective means
of satisfying her wishes.

Whether you are shifting hard-earned
income into your retirement portfolio,
are retired and living on the income from
an existing portfolio, or simply trying to
make ends meet, these times have been
challenging. Planned giving techniques
like these may be an effective way
to extract current income or plan for
future estate tax consequences. In
either case, your thoughtfulness and
generosity will support Memorial’s
healthcare mission.

You should consult your personal
financial advisor to evaluate whether
these types of planned giving techniques
are appropriate for you. For more
information, including a complimentary
analysis of annuity payout rates within
your age bracket together with projected
tax deductions, contact Elena Kezelis at

Valet Service Provides
Assistance to Cancer Patients
Come rain, sleet or snow, the entrance attendants at
Memorial Medical Center provide an invaluable service to
patients and visitors. On an average day, the attendants
park and retrieve approximately 212 cars for patients and
visitors of Memorial and assist them with wheelchairs and
personal belongings. This complimentary valet service is
available to everyone. Many users are grateful - especially
on days when the central Illinois weather leaves more to
be desired - and offer monetary tips in appreciation. Since
2009, Memorial’s entrance attendants have been donating
their tips to Memorial’s Cancer Patient Assistance Fund,
which assists patients of Memorial’s Regional Cancer
Center with living expenses relating to treatment. Requests
for assistance greatly exceed funds available. More than
$1,300 in valet tips have been donated to the fund by
Memorial’s entrance attendants.

Memorial Introduces the
da Vinci ® Robotic Surgical System
For patients requiring surgical procedures, receiving the least invasive and most effective
surgical option can result in a quicker recovery time. Memorial Medical Center utilizes the
da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System, which is the least invasive and most effective surgical
option available today for certain minimally invasive procedures.
Two receptions were held in the Wedeberg Conference Center for the debut of the new
surgical robotic system. Attendees were given the opportunity to actually “test drive” the da
Vinci® for themselves.
An investment in state-of-the-art medical technology is an investment in the future of
healthcare. To support patient care technology, call the Memorial Medical Center Foundation

As the president of
Friends of Memorial
it is an honor to
continue a tradition
of
providing
health education
resources to our
community through
a commitment of
volunteerism. The
Friends of Memorial is a dynamic group
of advocates that represents Memorial
Medical Center in the community.
Continuing education, outreach
programs, health promotions and
disease prevention are the many ways in
which Friends make an impact. Friends'
goal of promoting the welfare of the
medical center and the communities
we serve continues today through the
presentation of community education
programs that have touched thousands
of lives throughout central Illinois.
Among the highly successful programs
we are offering this year are:
• Health seminars – Friends of Memorial sponsored a program on the
prevention and management of
diabetes. The event, held April 13,
at Memorial Medical Center, was free
and open to the public. An in-service
for healthcare professionals was
held the following day.
• Babysitting clinics for children age 11
and older who would like to prepare
for babysitting
• CPR for babysitters after completion
of the babysitting clinic
• Sibling preparation classes for
children expecting a new baby
brother or sister
• Pre-HOP for daycare centers and
pre-schools
• Crayons and coloring books for
children visiting waiting rooms in the
Intensive Care Unit and Emergency
Department
• Bereavement program which offers
support and comfort to those who
have lost an infant
In addition to Friends’ regular activities,
we are thrilled to begin offering annual
scholarships to nursing students who
will commit to employment at Memorial
after completing their studies. Friends
will partner with Memorial again on the
Women’s SportsCare Biathlon as well
as on a new health fair event focusing
on breast cancer awareness and other
women’s health issues. The new event,
titled Memorial’s Be Aware Women’s
Fair, will be held on October 16 in
the Orr Building on the Illinois State
Fairgrounds.
Our ability to offer these programs to
you depends heavily on the support
that we receive. Whether you can
volunteer or provide financial support
through membership in Friends of
Memorial, your commitment is vital.

of Memorial, please call Memorial’s
Volunteer Services Department at (217)

Primary
Stroke Center Certification
Memorial Medical Center Earns
Each year about 700,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke, the nation’s
third leading cause of death. Strokes occur when blood flow to a region of the brain is
obstructed, either by blockage in an artery that supplies blood to the brain or by bleeding
of ruptured blood vessels in the brain. On average, someone suffers a stroke every 45
seconds and someone dies of a stroke every 3.1 minutes. Stroke is a leading cause of
serious, long-term disability in the United States with about 4.7 million stroke survivors
alive today.
Memorial Medical Center has earned certification as a primary stroke center from The
Joint Commission. The certification recognizes Memorial for “exceptional efforts to foster
better outcomes for stroke care,” according to The Joint Commission.
Primary stroke centers tailor treatment to individual needs, adhere to national stroke
guidelines and continually assess and improve how care is delivered. Memorial offers a
collaborative, interdisciplinary approach to stroke care with an integrated program that
addresses the complete spectrum of care from prevention to rehabilitation. Comprehensive
care includes dedicated stroke response teams that provide a fast diagnosis and treatment
to stroke patients who arrive in Memorial’s emergency department to rehabilitation of
stroke survivors. Memorial’s rehabilitation facilities are among only four others worldwide
to hold a fivefold accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation
Facilities, including accreditation for our stroke specialty program.

The Kellner Family Gift
Nearly two decades ago, the Kellner Family began a partnership with Memorial Medical
Center. The Kellner Family - including the late H. J. (Hack) Kellner; his wife, Janet; son,
Bill; and Bill’s wife, Julie - have all served as volunteers. In 2000, the Kellner Family
established the H. J. Kellner Professorship in Cardiology in memory of Hack. Throughout
the years, M.J. Kellner Company has been a major sponsor of Memorial’s Festival of
Trees and provides support to the annual employee giving campaign, MASH. The Kellner
Family’s most recent contribution will help support patient care.

Celebrates 20 Years
It was 20 years ago that a
small steering committee was
formed to make plans for a new
community holiday event that
would raise funds for Memorial
Medical Center. Since then
Memorial’s Festival of Trees, as
it is known today, has grown into
a nine-day event featuring over
150 exquisitely decorated trees,
wreaths and centerpieces.
Approximately 30,000 people
from throughout central Illinois
attended the 20th Annual
Festival of Trees held November
21-29 in the Orr Building on
the Illinois State Fairgrounds.
This year’s Festival featured
a larger than life 20-foot
decorated tree in the center
of the building surrounded by
over 60 handmade gingerbread
houses, 20 student trees and
the Candy Cane Express train.
Over 2,000 local amateur
and professional performers
provided live entertainment
during Memorial’s Festival of
Trees. In addition, Santa and
Mrs. Claus were on-hand to visit
with children and have their
photo taken with them.
Pam Allen, the chair of the
2009 Festival, chose the theme
“Tinsel, Trees and Memories”
to celebrate the season. Over
$200,000 was raised from the
event which supports healthrelated projects and programs
in the community.

VISION 11
Please consider making a contribution now to the Memorial Medical Center Foundation.
Civil War Medicine:
Divided by Conflict; United by Compassion
The Civil War period is often perceived to have been a time of primitive and brutal
healthcare. What was the impact of medical care on the Civil War and what changes to the
field of medicine came out of this conflict? Betsy Estilow, Professor of Biology and adjunct
instructor in Civil War history at Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, provided answers
to over 300 guests at an exclusive event held June 4 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential
Library. The event, titled Civil War and the Practice of Medicine, gave participants the
opportunity to visit with Dr. Elvin Zook, Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, and
view his Civil War-era medical collection. The event was presented jointly by the Abraham
Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation and Memorial Medical Center Foundation.
Elvin Zook, MD with his collection of Civil Warera medical instruments at the Civil War and the
Practice of Medicine Event.

MASH - Memorial’s Annual Employee
Giving Campaign
Each year, Memorial’s Annual Employee Giving Campaign, MASH (Membership Annually Supports Health),
kicks off with a celebratory event in April. Donating to the MASH campaign is a way for employees to give
back to Memorial.
Last year employees pledged more than $225,000 for patient care initiatives, staff education programs
and clinical research.
Contributions to the campaign represented an increase of nearly 12 percent over the previous year and the number of employees
participating increased by more than 5 percent. More than $2.2 million has been raised through MASH since it began in 1988 for
projects and programs at Memorial.
Participants may designate their gift to a specific department or leave their gift unrestricted
to be used where the need is greatest. One popular designation is Memorial’s SystemCare
Fund, which provides financial support to Memorial employees who experience a personal
emergency such as a fire or catastrophic illness in the family.
SystemCare Provides Support to Employee in Need
One of the highlights of the annual MASH
Kick Off Celebration is a performance by
children of Memorial’s Child Care.
Andrea, a registered nurse on the 4G
surgical unit, is grateful for the assistance
she received from MASH donations
restricted to SystemCare – the employee
emergency fund. Andrea, her husband
and three children lost their home and
belongings in a house fire. They did not
have insurance to cover their losses. The
assistance she received from SystemCare
helped them get back on their feet again.
”Thanks to SystemCare, I was able to
purchase some basic necessities for
me and my family”, said Andrea. “I am
eternally grateful to my fellow employees
for their generous support of this fund.”
