Mission
Working as one to improve health through exceptional care for all, lifelong
wellness and healthy communities.
A letter
From the chair
W
e live in a community that
honors and celebrates history.
It is because of generous donors
that the Gettysburg Hospital
Foundation has developed a
rich history of philanthropy
in our community. Our donors contribute because they
truly believe in our mission and want to continue our
proud legacy.
The Gettysburg Hospital Foundation has a mission of
inspiring gifts to support the health and well-being of
people in Adams County and communities in adjacent
northern Maryland. Each individual, foundation or
corporation listed in this report has supported our
community over the past year. Without our donors we
would not be able to fund the many WellSpan Health
charitable initiatives that impact members of the
community, and our friends and families.
In this report you will also learn about a few of the people and programs that are an integral part of
the Gettysburg Hospital Foundation. Being a part of the foundation has allowed me to meet many
of these individuals and see donors’ support come to life. I am truly honored to serve as chair of a
foundation with such a great mission.
Saying “thank you” cannot mean enough when it comes to acknowledging donors’ support. Donors
impact the lives of many in our community, especially those who are in greatest need. On behalf
of all those who have benefited from a donation, a volunteer’s time or a staff member’s dedication,
I need to thank you. I am certain that with the continued support of community members we will
continue a rich and wonderful history of helping each other.

Gettysburg Hospital Foundation Annual Report
W
ellSpan Gettysburg Hospital has received numerous
awards and recognitions for its medical care, including
three VHA Mid-Atlantic APEX Awards for excellence in
patient care, an “A grade” rating for The Leapfrog Group’s
Hospital Safety Score and a Top Performer rating from
the Joint Commission on Key Quality Measures.
But as everyone knows, awards and recognitions don’t sit at your bedside to explain
a complicated medical procedure. Or offer a reassuring word when your child is in
the Emergency Department. Or flash you a smile and a friendly “hello” when you
walk through the door.
“WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital has spent the last decade very focused on ensuring
that it provides the highest level of quality care, and the awards we have won
demonstrate the success of those efforts,” says Jane Hyde, who serves as president
of the hospital and a senior vice president of WellSpan Health.
“But what makes the hospital a very special place is the commitment our physicians
and employees have to our patients. We are an organization that is very focused on
hope, healing and hospitality.”
In recent years, WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital has taken a number of steps to
improve the patient experience for both inpatients and outpatients. The hospital’s
new Emergency Department features all private treatment rooms. New menus
provide greater food choices. Nurses and doctors “round” more often on patients
to keep them informed about their care. A harpist regularly plays in the lobby and
ICU. And efforts to reduce noise on regular patient floors have been implemented.
“We have also added ‘huddles’ to our daily routine,” says Hyde. “For 20 minutes
each day, staff members on each hospital unit ‘huddle’ to share information and
discuss any concerns or issues they may have. It’s a great way for everyone to get on
the same page and work as a team. Information from these unit huddles then filters
up to a daily leadership huddle. This type of communication allows us to react very
quickly to any issues that may arise.”
Assisting WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital in its patient experience efforts is
a 10-person advisory council made up of past or current patients and family
members. The council meets every other month and provides hospital leaders with
a “sounding board” for what is working and what can be improved.
All of these efforts are paying off. Teams have been focusing on multiple areas of
improvement and, in recent years, have successfully increased patients’ perceptions
of the facility’s cleanliness by nearly 10 percent while bumping the “would
recommend” scores (on patient satisfaction surveys) by the same percentage.
“A great patient experience goes hand-in-hand with high-quality care,” says Hyde.
“WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital is a very welcoming organization, and there is
a lot of pride here. We want to ensure that patients and families have the best
experience possible.”

One retiree’s
desire to give back
Betty Fair, donor and former WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital employee

Gettysburg Hospital Foundation Annual Report
B
etty Fair spent the final nine years of her career working as a patient
financial counselor for WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital before
retiring two years ago. Together with her husband, a custodian in
the public school system, they raised two children and diligently
saved for retirement. But it wasn’t their hard-earned nest egg that
inspired Mrs. Fair to make a planned gift to the Gettysburg Hospital
Foundation—it was simply a desire to give back to a community that had given so
much to her and her family.
“You don’t have to be rich to give,” says Mrs. Fair. “We’re certainly not. I assigned a
small portion of my life insurance to the foundation. I feel a relationship with the
hospital, and I want that relationship to continue even after I’m gone. I trust they
will put the gift toward whatever is needed most at the time and will invest wisely.
Giving can come from any income level. No gift is too small.”
In her role as a patient financial counselor, Mrs. Fair met many people who
struggled to make ends meet while facing a challenging diagnosis or a long course of
treatment. On many occasions, she witnessed the Gettysburg Hospital Foundation
help patients buy groceries or pay for prescriptions.
“I could’ve been the one sitting in that chair needing those things,” Mrs. Fair
reflects. “It’s about connecting people to the resources they need, and I wanted to
be a part of that.”
Philanthropy and volunteering have been central to Mrs. Fair’s life. She served
as chair of the hospital’s United Way campaign for many years, participated in
the hospital’s employee giving campaign and was involved in other fundraising
projects at previous jobs. Today, her focus has turned to enjoying her two young
grandchildren and her knitting—though she says she might return to volunteering
when the grandkids start school.
Mrs. Fair says she is reminded of the impact giving can have every time she sits
outside in the hospital’s courtyard, which is lined with picnic tables made possible
by employee donations.
“It’s such a lovely space in the spring and summer,” she says. “It shows how giving
benefits everyone and that gifts can last a long time.”

a caring environment
for our most
vulnerable neighbors

Gettysburg Hospital Foundation Annual Report
W
hen it comes to handling some of the most sensitive
cases in the Emergency Department, Sexual Assault
Forensic Examiner (SAFE) nurses are the ones best
prepared to help.
At WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital, 11 forensic nurses
care for victims of domestic violence, elder abuse,
child abuse and sexual assault. Each SAFE nurse is specially trained in forensic
photography, injury documentation, evidence collection, getting a detailed history
and treating assault victims. To support this important work, the Gettysburg
Hospital Foundation provided funding to supply the Adams County Children’s
Advocacy Center with a forensic nurse in 2012.
“What we do isn’t part of standard emergency medicine training, so the ED staff
relies on us when these types of patients arrive,” says Jennifer McNew, RN, a
forensic nurse team supervisor at WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital.
“The ED is skilled in clinical evaluation and treatment, but the SAFE nurses go
beyond that. We know what to look for, what kinds of questions to ask and the
types of injuries that are consistent with sexual assault or domestic violence. We
also work closely with a multi-disciplinary team that includes law enforcement, the
Adams County Children and Youth Services and the district attorney’s office, and
we may be called to testify in court.”
Recent renovations to the WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital Emergency Department
make it easier for the SAFE nurses to do their jobs. The new department offers
added privacy so patients will be more comfortable answering questions about
difficult topics. The SAFE nurses also have more room to securely store evidence,
camera equipment and documentation.
“We tripled the size of the department,” says William J. Steinour, MD, medical
director of the WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital Emergency Department. “That
has led to improved quality of care and patient safety, a better patient experience
and an increase in patient volume—from 27,000 visits annually to 30,000 visits
during the first year in the remodeled facility. Donor support assisted in the recent
renovations.
“Patients, including victims of assault, are cared for in more comfortable private
rooms behind closed doors,” he continues.
According to Dr. Steinour, the renovations were meant to increase efficiency and
improve patient comfort.
“The idea is to not add to the stress of the patient as he or she is receiving care,”
he says. “Privacy helps with that. Now, the patient’s health information isn’t being
echoed down the halls, but is instead being discussed behind closed doors. The new
department puts the focus on the patient.”
