Critical access hospitals are fairly unique as acute care hospitals go. They must have no more than 25 inpatient beds, have an annual average length of stay of no more than 96 hours for acute care, offer

6 Tips for Eating Right in 2016 SAVOR THE FLAVOR OF EATING RIGHT In honor of National Nutrition Month which is in March every year, here are six easy tips to get you on the path to a healthier lifestyle!
Eat Breakfast
Start your morning with a healthy breakfast every day by including lean protein, whole grains, fruit, and vegetables. Sound like a lot? Try making a breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, low-fat cheese, and salsa on a whole wheat tortilla. Or, mix up a parfait with low-fat plain yogurt, fruit, and whole grain cereal.
Watch Portion Sizes
Recommended serving sizes are often times smaller than our “best guess.” Break out the measuring cups to make sure you can see what one serving of whole grain cereal (1 cup) looks like in your dishes at home. Want to trick your brain into thinking a single portion is more? Use a smaller dish!
Fix Healthy Snacks
It is easy to sabotage your healthy lifestyle by quickly getting something from the vending machines at school or work. Do yourself, and your waistline, a favor by packing healthy snacks to keep on hand to help sustain energy levels between meals. Try raw veggies with low-fat cottage cheese, or a tablespoon of peanut butter with apple slices.
Get Cooking
When you have control over the cooking process, you can make sure you are adding only the best ingredients and cooking in the healthiest way. Don’t know how to cook? Start with some basics and add to your knowledge over time and you will be on your way to being a home chef in no time. For a collection of “How Do I….” videos, go to www.EatRight.org/howdoi - Your body and your family’s bodies will thank you for the home-cooked goodness!
Drink More Water
Your body is comprised of approximately 60 percent water and you need to replace what is used and eliminated every day! Drink even more water when you are active, live or work in hot conditions, or are an older adult. Drinking water also helps you to feel full and can help control cravings when you are trying to make better choices in nutrition.
Cut Back on Added Sugars
When considering your food and drinks, make sure you are aware of added sugars which contribute empty calories and little or no nutrition. Become a reader of food labels to catch those sneaky added sugars that can wreak havoc on your health. Visit www.ChooseMyPlate.gov for more information!
Healthy Snacks + Fun Activities = Happy, Healthy Kids! Tri-State Hospital Registered Dietician Nutritionists Jennifer Raykovich and Chelsey Woods were on hand October 15, 2015 to show 4th, 5th, and 6th graders at Holy Family School in Clarkston, Washington good nutrition education, how to make their own healthy snacks, and fun activities to get their bodies moving. This fun, energy-filled event was well received by the kids who left that day with their own kid’s cookbooks, kid-sized aprons, measuring cups and spoons, and many tips on making better nutrition choices. This event was sponsored through Tri-State Hospital Foundation by a grant from Clearwater Paper Corporation.

TRI-STATE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SPRING 2016
What is a Critical Access Hospital? You may have heard some hospitals called Critical Access Hospitals or CAH’s. But, what exactly is a Critical Access Hospital? This designation is given to certain rural hospitals by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It was created by Congress in 1997 in response to a string of hospital closures in the 1980s and 1990s. Rural hospitals typically have a very high percentage of Medicare patients (referred to as “payer mix”). Prior to the CAH program, rural hospitals were under the Prospective Payment System (PPS) and were only reimbursed 40 to 60 cents for one dollar of cost – not what was billed, but actual cost. Hence, rural hospitals could not sustain services in their communities under the Prospective Payment System, which resulted in many closing during that time and leading to the passage of the CAH program. The CAH designation was designed to reduce the financial vulnerability of rural hospitals and improve access to healthcare by keeping essential services in rural communities, accomplished through cost-based Medicare reimbursements. Specific requirements must be met to qualify for the CAH designation, such as have 25 or fewer acute care inpatient beds, providing 24/7 emergency care service, having an annual average length of stay of no more than 96 hours for acute care, and located in a rural community. Tri-State applied for and became a Critical Access Hospital in 2004. As of January, 2016, there were 1,332 Critical Access Hospitals located in the US; 39 of them located in Washington State. Critical Access Hospitals provide essential health care services to nearly 51 million people. Because of their size, modest assets and financial reserves, and higher percentages of Medicare patients, small and rural hospitals disproportionately rely on government payments. The CAH program has been a life-line for many hospitals across the country and has allowed them to survive and continue their health care missions to the communities they serve. Over the last few years, the CAH program has come under scrutiny from the President’s budget to CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) for a variety of reasons. The CAH program has changed and reimbursements have been reduced through this program; but, overall, it remains intact due to continued work to educate congress on the need and value that rural hospitals bring to their communities.
Did you know? One thing that makes Tri-State Memorial Hospital different from other community-owned hospitals (as well as most CAHs) in Washington State is that we do not have any property taxes funding our services at Tri-State. That is to say, we are not a Public Hospital District that receives revenue from taxes in our community. Because of the financial support offered by our generous community to the Foundation and the leadership and forward-thinking planning of our volunteer Hospital Board of Directors, Tri-State continues to prosper without having to access property taxes in our community.

In honor and memory of Dr. Richard J. Weiland, Jr. May 6, 1947 - February 20, 2015
Tri-State Memorial Hospital lost a treasured provider in 2015 with the passing of Dr. Weiland in February. Dr. Weiland was raised in Pomeroy, Washington and graduated from Gonzaga University and then University of Washington, where he received his medical degree in 1973. On September 11, 1971 he married Jenny and they had their daughter Angie in 1975. Dr. Weiland went on to do his residency and worked in emergency medicine for a time. In December 1984, the family moved to Clarkston where Dr. Weiland opened his private practice in 1985. In March 2011, Dr. Weiland became an employee of TriState Memorial Hospital as a primary care provider, where he worked full-time until his hospitalization in November, 2014. Besides being adored by his patients at Tri-State, Dr. Weiland also was the medical director of Home Health and Hospice (now Elite Home Health and Hospice) for 28 years, and the medical director of Prestige Care Center in Clarkston. He also served nine years on the Tri-State Hospital Board of Directors. He is truly missed by his patients, his colleagues, and this community.

TRI-STATE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SPRING 2016
Heartfelt Thanks I spend much of my time in the community talking about Tri-State Memorial Hospital and how to financially support the hospital through our Foundation. Someone recently asked me what makes Tri-State different. Sure, there are a lot of things that make us different: we are owned and operated by this community, we serve a rural population, we offer specialty care and resources that other POLLY KNELSEN Critical Access Hospitals Tri-State Hospital don’t. You can read about Vice President of Foundation other things that make us and Community Relations unique throughout the pages of this HealthBeat. But I think the real difference is found in the heart of our facility – our staff, volunteers, and providers – and in the way we love, respect, and care about our community and each other. We treat our hospital like our home, treat each other like family, and treat our patients like neighbors. It’s who we are and I am proud to be a part of this community legacy. Over 60 years ago, the community rallied to raise the funds needed to build a hospital for this valley. Many of you and your family members, along with a number of local businesses, were among those who helped to make Tri-State Memorial Hospital a reality. Today, the strength of our Hospital is still found through the dedication and commitment of this community. Through the generous gifts from 968 donors, the Foundation raised over $485,000 in 2015. Listed in the following pages are the individuals and businesses that chose to make Tri-State a philanthropic priority in 2015. Please read these names. You can also see the list of hospital needs met through our fundraising endeavors on this page. Tri-State Hospital Foundation is proud of our accomplishments and grateful to our loyal donor family. Your support enables us to continue our mission of providing TriState Memorial Hospital with the resources to offer the highest quality patient care to our community. And, there are even greater financial needs for this year. If your name is not listed in the following pages, would you consider making a financial gift this year and partnering with us to ensure a strong future in healthcare at Tri-State?
TRI-STATE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SPRING 2016
As we look to the future, I am confident in Tri-State’s ability to anticipate and meet the healthcare needs of our community. Thank you again for your ongoing dedication to Tri-State Hospital Foundation and our community-owned hospital. It is an honor and privilege to work with each of you and be assured that Tri-State Hospital Foundation will continue to be a partner in your health for years to come.
With a grateful heart,

Tri-State Hospital Foundation
from the Board President I am honored to have been chosen to lead such a talented and hard working group of Trustees. Over the years, a combination of hard work and the great generosity of our community has enabled us to grow and support Tri State Memorial Hospital in an immense way. I am confident that our best is yet to come.
Corey Flerchinger, 2016 Tri-State Hospital Foundation President, Board Trustee since 2010
To achieve our best, we as Trustees will push each other out of our comfort zones, challenge the status quo and ask some tough questions. I believe this is not only essential, but our duty as Trustees, to properly steward and grow the Foundation efficiently and effectively. I am looking forward to engaging with the group to align what drives us all to better the Foundation. This is the heart of what I believe will allow us to reach the next level. With the constant state of change the healthcare industry finds itself in, we are going to be called upon to support our community hospital in a greater capacity than in years past. We need to be there to answer that call.
We are most grateful for the trust and support you, the community, have given us over the years and eagerly look forward to continue building on the legacy of the Foundation. You allow us to find new ways to do our part and constantly effect our mission. As we move into this year, we will continue to work tirelessly to support local health care needs and we are excited to have you join with us in this endeavor.

Don and Joanne Poe have been longtime supporters of Tri-State Hospital Foundation, turning to the hospital and our physicians for everything from the delivery of their children to emergency room visits. To ensure that the hospital is able to continue providing outstanding services for years to come, the Poes created a two-life charitable gift annuity for Tri-State Hospital Foundation. “I served on the board of Tri-State Memorial Hospital, Joanne worked closely with the Foundation on Festival of Trees, and we both participated in the Commitment for Tomorrow for a number of years, so we understand how the hospital relies on donors in order to succeed,” Don says. “When we learned about the charitable gift annuity program, we felt like it was a good match for us.” The charitable gift annuity – which is an arrangement between the foundation and the donor – allows donors such as the Poes to transfer cash or assets to the hospital now, in exchange for a guaranteed income from the Foundation for the rest of their lives. The income is based on a rate of return established in advance by the Foundation.
MAKING DONATIONS In addition to charitable gift annuities, there are numerous ways to donate to the Tri-State Hospital Foundation and reap tax benefits, including: • Appreciated stock • Bonds and mutual funds • Certificates of deposit, savings, accounts, brokerage accounts, and checking accounts with “payable on death” provisions • Charitable gift annuities • Multiple-year cash pledge
“It’s important for our valley that our hospital continues to grow, because we need to ensure that future generations get the kind of care that only a community hospital can provide,” Don says. “By making this gift to the Foundation, we were able to do our part now to contribute to the healthcare of the future.” To make a tax-deductible donation to Tri-State Hospital Foundation, call Polly Knelsen at 509.751.0222, or make an online donation using your credit card by visiting http://tristatehospital.org/donate

What is Tru-D SmartUVC?
We like to call it the Superbug Slayer! The Tru-D SmartUVC works by destroying germs and bacteria with safe, effective UV light, enhancing disinfection in a hospital environment and giving patients and staff peace of mind. By using the unit in a room vacated by a patient or in preparing a surgical suite, we can ensure the room is cleaner than would be humanly possible, while supplying valuable data used to create more effective and efficient cleaning. TruD’s SmartUVC “brain” measures the correct dose of UV light to destroy harmful germs like MRSA and C.diff in just one cycle. Coming soon to our hospital, this is just another way Tri-State is committed to making your health our first priority.

Record Numbers at…
The 31st annual Festival of Trees was a huge success! Our dedicated group of volunteers and community members helped turn the Nez Perce County Fair Pavilion into a holiday wonderland the week of Thanksgiving. Over 4,000 people made their way through the festivities! Our Vintage Style Show & Tea was SOLD OUT with over 560 people in attendance. Gala night was a magical evening as well; from the amazing décor and fun band to the fabulous trees and generous auction support, we raised $25,800 for the new Tru-D SmartUVC Disinfectant Robot through our "Raise the Paddle” portion of the evening (see page 18 for more information). With four, fabulous events, we netted over $108,000 to support the programs and special needs of Tri-State Memorial Hospital – the most we have ever raised in 31 years! It takes a village of behind the scenes individuals and businesses to make this grand event a success. Seven days, trees galore, set-ups, take-downs, yards and yards of fabric, hundreds of feet of carpet, a sea of tables and chairs, coat check, Gift Shop and more, and then, storing it all away for the next Festival! It is with sincere gratitude that we thank you all for the above and beyond work and hours you devote to make this event
TRI-STATE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SPRING 2016
such a success. An event of this magnitude would not be possible without the support of the hundreds of volunteers who come together each year and the many local businesses and individuals who are so willing to support community health care.

Did you know there are creative ways to support Tri-State Hospital Foundation?
Mr. and Mrs. Scott Williams
Ways in which Tri-State, you, and your loved ones all benefit at the same time? Such giving techniques are called “planned gifts,” because with thoughtful planning, you create win-win solutions for you and the only community-owned hospital in the valley.

There are times in life when a card or flowers simply aren’t enough. That’s when a tribute or memorial gift to Tri-State Hospital Foundation may better express your emotion. A tribute gift is a wonderful way to celebrate a birth, anniversary, or other special occasion, or to let someone dear know she or he is in your thoughts. A Grateful Patient tribute gift is appropriate when you want to thank a doctor, nurse, or other health professional for exceptional care. Consider a memorial gift when you want to honor the life of someone special who has passed on. Many families, for instance, establish a memorial in honor of a loved one, and ask friends and relatives to make gifts to the memorial instead of sending flowers. Not only will your gift give joy and comfort to its recipient, it will also help Tri-State Memorial Hospital continue to provide excellent and compassionate care. Tribute, Memorial, and Grateful Patient gifts are tax deductible as provided by law. Tri-State Hospital Foundation 1254 Highland Avenue PO Box 636 Clarkston, WA 99403 509.758.4902

Annual Foundation Awards
SPIRIT AWARD
Stonebraker McQuary Insurance This year’s Spirit Award winner has been part of the legacy of giving to TriState Hospital Foundation longer than our records show. This community owned and operated business understands and believes in the value of our community owned and operated hospital and has been overwhelmingly generous to show support throughout the years. Financially, this business has supported the Foundation through all of the special events as a sponsor, including Summerfest from years past. Additionally, they are a Healthy Business Partner, and have offered committee members to numerous Development Council Committees. The leadership also gives as an Eagle Society member and has had family who were instrumental in opening the hospital now 61 years ago. Because of some room scheduling issues at the hospital, this business opened their doors to our Board for meetings for over half the year. We would like to honor Stonebraker McQuary Insurance as our Spirit Award Winner and thank them for always stepping up and being a leader in giving of their time, talents, and treasures.
LEE MARTIN AWARD
Dan Rudolph
In 1997, the Tri-State Hospital Foundation began a tradition to acknowledge the “above and beyond” support and dedication of one of the Trustees. The Foundation’s highest honor, the Lee Martin Award, is named for one of the founding Trustees. Lee Martin was a gentleman whose dedication and support of the Tri-State Hospital Foundation and Tri-State Memorial Hospital truly made a difference and helped mold the Foundation to what it is today. This award is voted on solely by our board members. This year’s Lee Martin Award goes to someone who is known for being not only enthusiastic but really smart! He has a passion that helps motivate and inspire his fellow board members as well as our staff, and he is excellent at his role as our Treasurer. He has served on our board since 2010 and has been active in our special events, as well as diving in deep with strategic ideas for the Foundation’s success. Dan Rudolph is Vice President of Commercial Relationship Manager of Washington Trust Bank in Lewiston. We couldn’t agree more that Dan Rudolph is deserving of this prestigious award.
TRI-STATE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SPRING 2016
OUTSTANDING TRUSTEE AWARD
Becca Dugger
Our Outstanding Trustee Award is decided upon by our staff. This award goes to someone who has gone the extra mile throughout the year to make the Foundation successful, often behind the scenes. This board member is not only well-spoken and brilliant, but she also is willing to do any job we give her. From helping with Festival of Trees before, during, and after, to serving on some of our development council committees, to being a speaker at events, and even bringing in new volunteers for all of our projects, she is an amazing asset to us. We scored big in 2013 when we added a board member that instantly became our “go-to-girl” on all tax and planned giving questions. She comes to meetings ready to work and with ideas to share. We also appreciate that she checks in during the week with opportunities she has found to make the Foundation stronger. The Outstanding Trustee Award goes to Becca Dugger. Becca Dugger works at Presnell Gage and has been a board member since 2013.
