A MESSAGE from the Avera McKennan Foundation President W. Tim Kromminga
Thank you for your support through this past year. The impact you have made can be seen every day through our patient and family experiences in a variety of areas. Your financial contributions have provided enhanced environments for Avera’s tiniest babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and aging seniors at the new Avera Prince of Peace, continued genomic cancer research for cancer patients at Avera Cancer Institute and lodging for out-of-town families at the Walsh Family Village. This list goes on, which demonstrates the significance of your support! Your support ensures our healing mission can continue serving those in need, extending the healing ministry of Jesus. Your gifts to benefit the NICU support babies and their families during one of the most critical times of their lives. The newly renovated NICU facility provides private rooms to improve the family experience, laundry facilities to allow for convenience during extended stays and access to the Women’s Center amenities and chapel to further our mission and help reduce stress during critical moments. Thank you for making these advancements possible. The ever-changing world of cancer care continues to make strides through cutting-edge genomic cancer research. Thanks to your contributions, genomic research improves our treatment approach which ultimately leads to more lives saved. We are fortunate to have philanthropic support from partners like you who pave the way for transforming cancer care. In conjunction with the cancer genomic research program, the Avera McKennan Foundation recently received the Community Innovation Grant from the Bush Foundation. With these funds, the Avera Rural Cancer Advisory Board was formed to aid in research and gain a better understanding of the unique circumstances of farmers when faced with a cancer diagnosis. We are excited to work with this volunteer group to glean their expertise and reduce barriers for cancer care in rural communities. The future of health care is ever changing. Thanks to planned gifts, Avera McKennan can ensure our healing ministry will be available for future generations. Just as Helen McKennan made her planned gift over 100 years ago, we are grateful to those who have included Avera McKennan in their estate or will. Your gifts impact our communities for centuries. Throughout our annual report you will see firsthand the impact you have made for patients and families. Whether it’s supporting an annual event, capital campaign or ensuring the mission of Avera is available for generations to come through planned giving, your support enhances the lives of the community. Thank you.

Avera McKennan Foundation
RURAL REALIZATION New Cancer Advisory Board Begins GroundBreaking Outreach Initiative
Hexad Farms
“Every oncologist has a tale of a farmer diagnosed with cancer around harvest time and the hopeless look on the face of the patient as a treatment plan is described.”
Thanks to a Community Innovation Grant from the Bush Foundation, the Avera Cancer Institute has developed an outreach effort to reduce barriers to treatment for rural residents of South Dakota and outlying states. To begin planting the seeds among local farmers and ranchers, a board consisting of rural residents, oncologists, community partners and Avera staff has been formed. Officially called the Avera Rural Cancer Advisory Board, its first official meeting was held on October 5, 2015. Earlier this summer, board member Walt Bones invited Avera oncologists to tour his family’s grain and lifestock operation, Hexad Farms, near Parker, S.D. The physicians gained a better understanding of the lifestyle of the rural patients.
Awareness, Screening & Education
“Regardless of their health, I think farmers are ingrained with how much is at risk when a crop is ready to be harvested. When it’s ready to go, it’s ready to go.” Walter Bones, Farmer, Hexad Farms Walt Bones
Those who work hard to feed others often find themselves in a state of starvation when it comes to cancer care. And it’s not necessarily access. The demands of traditional farm and ranch life are the main issues and serve as the driving force for this groundbreaking initiative. A farmer’s lifestyle is not always conducive to preventive health measures and treatments. This board is taking the time to explain first hand just how a rural resident lives, so Avera’s skilled team of providers can begin forming a plan to transform cancer care.
Jim Woster
Jim Woster, co-chair of Avera’s Rural Cancer Advisory Board, worked in the livestock industry for years. His advisory board role includes listening to rural residents, whose input will inform Avera’s work to improve its cancer-related care. He and other volunteer rural residents have committed their time and energy to form this board and welcome feedback from the community and others who wish to get involved. The Avera Health System is also working to establish a new call center to provide 24/7 support to its cancer patients in the future. For more information on the Avera Rural Cancer Advisory Board, please call 605-322-8900. 2014-2015 Annual Report

Thanks to the generosity of the community, guests gathered on May 15 to mark the grand opening of the new Avera Prince of Peace. Guests toured the new facility and had a fun time “Honoring the Eras” as they maneuvered through various areas of themed décor and music. Since 2013, the Avera McKennan Foundation has been raising funds to support the Caring for Community: Campaign for Avera Prince of Peace. Included in that campaign was the Focus on Faith Sacred Heart Chapel which was dedicated in honor of the late Jeremiah Murphy thanks to a generous matching gift and loyal donors. Through your gifts, more than $3 million was raised to construct the state-of-the-art facility which includes a centralized and expanded chapel, private rooms and unique Main Street concept. Today, residents, family members and staff are taking full advantage of the enhanced amenities and are thankful for the opportunity to further Avera’s mission thanks to your gifts.

HEROES IN PINK It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s the Avera 2014/2015 Avera Think Pink Ladies and they’re ready to take on breast cancer with a vengeance! This year’s survivors proved they have a lot of pink power as they proudly joined the group of courageous survivors. Thank you to these heroes in pink and to all the other Avera Think Pink Ladies for sharing their stories of strength with the hope to inspire others. Because of their work, and that of all breast cancer survivors in the community, increased awareness of the disease continues to raise dollars against the fight. Read their full stories at AveraRaceSiouxFalls.org. Photo courtesy of Evans Portrait Gallery.

This year, over $55,000 was raised to support the Arts in Healing program as well as navigation and patient assistance programs at the Avera Behavioral Health Center. A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors, artists, volunteers and guests for making this event a success.

Thanks to generous community partners and Avera McKennan employees for making Christmas the best time of the year for all. Through the Holiday of Caring Program, giving trees are stocked with “gift ornaments” for those who wish to purchase the suggested item. From supplies for the Walsh Family Village hospitality house to toys for pediatric patients at Avera Children’s Hospital, the trees quickly overflowed with gifts which brought smiles to the faces of many. Employees also had the opportunity to sponsor a family and provide them with a holiday meal. Thank you to all for delivering our mission into the hearts and homes of those in need during the holidays.

Compassion in Action! Annual Golf Tournament Supports Local Cancer Patients
Thank you to our generous golfers for their compassion and competitive spirit at the Compassion in Action Golf Tournament held on September 9, 2014. Because of supporters like you, over $16,000 was raised to help patients and families at the Avera Cancer Institute! Compassion In Action was created to raise funds to support patients and families battling blood disorder cancers with financial assistance for additional expenses associated with their illness. Working with the Avera McKennan Foundation, two families affected by leukemia and lymphoma created this fund as a way to give back and to provide others with an avenue to help those in need. Thank you to these families and those who have supported their efforts along the way.
