Mission & Areas Served Statements Mission Statement Our mission is to provide financial support to the Liberty Hospital by funding programs that will have a positive impact on the patients and employees of the Liberty Hospital. The Foundation does this by raising money to support specific projects and by carefully managing the endowed funds entrusted to the Foundation. Background Statement The Liberty Hospital Foundation was established in 1984 to provide financial support to Liberty Hospital by funding programs that have a positive impact on the patients and employees of the Hospital, and therefore the community and the region. This includes constructing a Hospitality House (TreeHouse), Nursing Scholarship program, Hospice Fund, Care of the Community Fund, and new Mission-Based funds, areas designed to have the greatest impact on the hospital and Liberty community. Liberty Hospital is a public, non-profit hospital created for the benefit of its community and governed by a publicly elected board of trustees. Located just north of Kansas City, Liberty is truly a regional medical center serving Clay and Platte counties, as well as the northwest Missouri corridor all the way up to the Iowa border. Much like the area around it, Liberty Hospital has grown by leaps and bounds since it opened its doors in February 1974. What started as a 130-bed facility has now grown to 250 licensed beds and more than 1,900 employees, including nearly 300 physicians covering all specialties practice medicine at the hospital. Our physicians, nurses, and staff are extremely dedicated, and we have some of the highest patient satisfaction scores in the area. Liberty s commitment to the most up-to-date technology is evident. We were one the first hospitals to invest in the da Vinci robot, a surgical device that is used by surgeons to assist with prostatectomies and hysterectomies, allowing for better outcomes for the patient. In 2011 we upgraded our system to the latest state-of-the-art version, which further expands our capabilities in minimally invasive surgery. In 2010 the hospital installed the latest in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. The Toshiba Vantage Titan features a large 28.4-inch aperture, an ultra-short open bore and noise reducing technology. The Titan provides a more comfortable exam experience for the patient and a more precise image for the physician. Our new hybrid catheterization lab/operating room offers the best of both worlds. The room is fully equipped for both surgical and intravascular procedures. This allows the physician to act fast during an emergency situation. The Birthing Center at Liberty Hospital offers a Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Nursery. This means that we can take care of newborns with a wide variety of special care needs, allowing mother and baby to stay in the same hospital. Impact Statement 2015 Top Accomplishments: Over 2,000 patients and families stayed at the TreeHouse. Thanks to the ongoing generosity of individual donors, this one-of-a-kind hospitality house continues to provide comfortable, peaceful lodging close to Liberty Hospital, regardless of guest's ability to pay. Five local high school seniors pursuing a BSN received $2,500 scholarships and opportunities to volunteer at Liberty Hospital and learn more about their chosen career path. $50,000 was distributed to support community wellness initiatives through the LiveWell Community Grant Program. The 2015 beneficiaries included: Liberty Community Health Action Team, Rebuilding Together Clay County, Liberty Public Schools, and the Liberty Sertoma Club. The Liberty Hospistal Foundation donated $50,000 from the Professional Education Fund to Liberty Hospital to purchase a 3G Simulation Manikin to provide state-of-the-art clinical training to Hospital staff. Over $30,000 has been granted to 39 Liberty Hospital employees facing unexpected crisis situations through the Hughes Family Assistance Fund. This fund is sustained through employee donations. 2016 Top Goals: To develop a strategy and plan to pursue a capital campaign in support of Liberty Hospital To increase impact of mission-based funds and programs, in particular to broaden the scope of the Medication Assistance Fund and Kyleigh's Gift To reactivate and utilize Board Fund Development and Marketing/Public Relations committees 2

Programs Programs Kyleigh's Gift Description Category The Kyleigh s Gift fund was created in memory of Kyleigh Elizabeth Weller, daughter of Rodger and Leann Weller. Kyleigh passed away at birth on April 5, 2012, at the Liberty Hospital Birthing Center. The Weller family created Kyleigh s Gift as a way to not only keep her memory alive, but to recognize the loving care and support from the Birthing Center doctors, nurses and staff. As of March 2014, Kyleigh's Gift provides sleep sack swaddles for all newborns at Liberty Hospital. Sleep sacks are a powerful tool to help encourage safe sleeping practices for newborns and help prevent infant deaths. The fund is also exploring meaningful ways to serve bereaved families in the Liberty Hospital community. Health Care, General/Other Maternal & Infant Care Population Served Infants to Preschool (under age 5),, Short-Term Success Long- Term Success Program Success Monitored By Examples of Program Success In the short term, to provide 100% of families in the Liberty Hospital Birthing Center with safe sleep educational materials. And on a case by case basis, to provide safe sleep resources (crib/ pack 'n play, safe car seat, etc.) to families with great financial need. Additionally, to provide 100% of bereaved families with resources for both parents and siblings to cope with their loss. To significantly lower preventable infant deaths, including SIDS, in Liberty Hospital families through safe sleep education and to provide meaningful support to bereaved families at Liberty Hospital and in our community. The program is monitored by the Kyleigh's Gift Committee at the Liberty Hospital Foundation as well as the Birthing Center Director and dedicated Social Worker(s) for the Birthing Center. Input will also be given by the Bereavement Committee at Liberty Hospital. In 2015, a family came to the Birthing Center for delivery. In addition to the new baby, the family had several other young children and could not afford a crib or separate sleeping area for the baby. The parent was aware of safe sleep practices but had no means to carry them out. Kyleigh's Gift purchased a basic pack 'n play for this family to provide a safer sleeping option for the infant, and has since provided funds for 10 pack 'n plays for the Birthing Center. 4
Medication Assistance Program Description Category The Medication Assistance Program (MAP), established in 2014, provides patients with resources to help find affordable, life-sustaining medications and establishes primary care physicians to support their long-term health. As of 2015, 130 patients have been served and they are saving a combined total of $90,000 per month on their medication costs.

Solutions offered to these patients include: assistance with enrollment into Medicaid or Medicare programs, establishing a primary care physician relationship, seeking generic medications, transportation assistance to/from office visits, and working with physicians to streamline treatment plans. Only $995.55 of funds was needed to bridge a gap between long-term prescription coverage and immediate need. Long term success will be measured by continued positive outcomes for the patients. Outcomes that will be monitored by the MAP coordinator are: continued compliance with prescription regimens, keeping scheduled appointments, and reporting health and wellness outcome over time. Success can also be measured by reduced charity care dollars and reduced unpaid emergency department bills from repeated, preventable visits by the MAP patient population. The programs is monitored by the Director of Case Management at Liberty Hospital, the MAP Coordinator, additional Case Management staff and the Liberty Hospital Foundation. In 2015, MAP expanded services beyond inpatient Hospital referrals to include all of the clinics owned by Liberty Hospital, and all affiliated physician practices. MAP has also expanded to provide transportation services for qualifying patients to/from physician visits, as well as lifesustaining equipment including: Life Vests, blood pressure cuffs, and weight scales. 5

The William Jewel College RN to BSN scholarship is currently supporting five Hospital employees with 100% scholarships.

A recent recipient of the fund shared with staff that the assistance provided to her helped restore her passion for her work as a nurse.
