Welcome Letter from Tomi Ryba, 

Duke Adamski and Jack Ritt 

as we celebrate opening the new peter J. King emergency Care Center at united 

hospital, it is with mixed emotions. While it is an exciting time, it is also one 

marked with the great loss of a long-time friend and united hospital benefactor 

peter J. King. it is undeniable how truly committed peter has been both to united 

hospital and the st. paul community, and we are extremely honored to have his 

legacy living on through united and the care we provide. 

DESignED for yoU, maDE PoSSibLE bECaUSE of yoU 

after more than three years of planning and construction, we are extremely proud 

to now care for and serve our community in what is the finest state-of-the-art 

emergency care facility in the twin Cities metro area. 

the emergency department has truly become our community’s front door to 

the health care united provides with approximately 40 percent of emergency 

department patients being admitted to the hospital. and as we all know, a trip 

to the hospital, especially through the emergency department, can be a scary 

and anxious time for patients and their families. the peter J. King emergency 

Care Center was designed not only to technologically support a patient’s medical 

needs but also to treat patients in an efficient manner, reduce anxiety and foster 

patient and family healing. the model of patient-centered care, which includes 

technological advancements, enhanced efficiencies and emergency preparedness 

capabilities, has been the focus throughout the facility’s development. 

as we open our doors to the community, we have many people to sincerely 

recognize and thank for making the peter J. King emergency Care Center a 

reality. first, we would like to recognize peter J. King for his generosity, as well 

as numerous other donors for their philanthropic support. also, thank you to the 

emergency department Community Campaign led by co-chairs Jack Ritt and Joan 

thompson. and finally, we would like to recognize our emergency department 

physicians and nurses, emergency Medical services partners, construction and 

development partners and united hospital staff members who all played a critical 

role in the development of this new facility and the care that’s provided within it. 

it’s impressive and inspiring what can be achieved when a community comes 

together. and it is community that best represents what the new peter J. King 

emergency Care Center at united hospital is all about.

What started out as an anniversary 

celebration became a nightmare for 

Catherine Carey, a st. paul resident, 

when she was bitten by a bat and had to 

undergo treatment for rabies. 

each autumn, Carey and her husband, 

Brendan, borrow a friend’s cabin in 

northern Minnesota to celebrate their 

wedding anniversary. this past year was 

no exception, and the two headed north 

in september. shortly after arriving, a bat 

flew through the cabin’s open door. the 

Careys left the door open in hopes that 

the bat would escape. neither of them 

saw the bat a few hours later when getting 

ready for bed, so they assumed it had left. 

Carey was almost asleep with her arms 

wrapped around her pillow when 

something hit her wrist. she said it felt 

like “a warm, squishy hamster had been 

thrown at my wrist.” 

she turned on the light and saw the bat 

on the curtains. they were able to finally 

shoo the bat outside through the balcony 

doors. Carey examined her wrist, but 

didn’t see anything amiss. 

the next day, Carey noticed a bump 

on her wrist and what looked like two 

tiny puncture marks. once home she 

contacted the Minnesota department 

of health (Mdh), and the infectious 

disease epidemiologist suggested Carey 

immediately seek treatment in the 

nearest emergency department. the 

epidemiologist said that bats rarely fly 

into people unless they are ill and that 

she needed prophylactic rabies treatment. 

Patient Story: 

Catherine Carey’s 

Close Encounter 

Rabies is a viral disease that is spread 

through the saliva of rabid (infected) 

animals. the virus attacks the brain, 

causing fevers, muscle aches, confusion, 

agitation, seizures, coma and death. the 

only treatment is prophylactic; a person 

must be treated as soon after exposure 

to an infected animal as possible, before 

symptoms appear. the Centers for disease 

Control and prevention (CdC) report 

that the incubation period for rabies, 

the time from exposure until symptoms 

appear, can be anywhere from a week to 

a year in length. however, the sooner 

preventive treatment is begun the better 

because once symptoms start the disease is 

usually fatal. 

according to the World health 

organization (Who), about 55,000 

people die from rabies each year. in the 

united states, thanks to widespread 

vaccination of domestic animals, only 

two to three cases of human rabies occur 

each year. these are usually caused by 

exposure to nonvaccinated domestic 

animals or to wild animals, such as bats, 

raccoons, skunks and foxes, in which the 

patient does not seek timely treatment. 

Bat bites are particularly problematic as 

a bat’s teeth are so fine that many do not 

realize they’ve been bitten. the CdC 

recommends that any bat-human contact 

be followed by rabies treatment. the last 

case of rabies in Minnesota was in 2007 in 

a 46-year-old man who did not realize he 

had been bitten by a bat. 

Rabies treatment involves two 

medications. the first is rabies immune

globulin given in or near the site of the 

bite. this is followed by a series of five 

rabies vaccine injections across 28 days 

(since Carey’s treatment, the advisory 

Committee on immunization practices 

has changed the protocol to four rabies 

vaccine injections across 14 days). 

according to the CdC “approximately 

16,000 to 39,000 persons come in contact 

with potentially rabid animals and receive 

rabies postexposure prophylaxis each 

year” in the united states. 

United Hospital and Rabies 

the Mdh does not keep statistics 

on the number of people who receive 

postexposure prophylaxis treatment. 

they do keep statistics on the number of 

animals that test positive for rabies in the 

state. in 2010, 59 animals (skunks, bats, 

cows, cats and dogs) in Minnesota tested 

positive for rabies (for more information 

about rabies in Minnesota, visit www. 

health.state.mn.us/divs/idepc/diseases/ 

rabies). united hospital’s records show 

that about 20 people were treated for 

rabies prevention at the hospital in 2010. 

“the amount of immune globulin needed 

is based on the patient’s weight,” said 

deb Raptis, director of the united 

hospital emergency department. 

“and the immune globulin needs to be 

administered as close to the site of the 

animal bite as possible.” 

Because Carey was bitten on the wrist, 

which is a narrow, bony area, she could 

not receive all the immune globulin at 

once. the nurse had to break it down 

into a series of 24 shots, spread out over 

several hours. 

“the wrist shots were extremely painful,” 

said Carey. “immune globulin is thick and 

burns. But i’m so thankful for the nurse. 

she was so compassionate and kind.” 

following this treatment, 

Carey received her first 

injection of rabies vaccine and 

instructions to return in three 

days for her second injection. 

Allergic to the Treatment 

Carey’s problems were 

compounded that night when 

she awoke severely ill. she was 

having an allergic reaction to 

the rabies vaccine. 

“i thought i was dying,” said 

Carey. “all my internal organs 

felt like they were packed in 

ice. i couldn’t stop vomiting, 

and i was dizzy and shaking.” 

paramedics were called to help 

her return to the hospital, 

where she was immediately 

treated for anaphylaxis, a 

life-threatening allergic 

reaction in which a person’s 

breathing and circulation are 

compromised. 

Carey recovered but she had a problem. 

she still needed to continue the rabies 

regimen. for the next four weeks, she 

had to return to the united emergency 

department for her rabies shots and then 

to be watched and treated for anaphylaxis. 

through her ordeal, her symptoms were 

sweating, dizziness, vomiting, nausea, 

rapid heart rate and, at times, dehydration 

and confusion, followed by a bleeding 

ulcer. But Carey attributes her recovery to 

the staff, nurses and doctors at united. 

“i was extremely ill throughout the 

treatment,” said Carey. “it was a horrible 

situation, but i’m so grateful to be alive 

and so grateful to live only three blocks 

from a great hospital like united. they 

saved my life. More than once.” 

Catherine Carey, publisher of Town Life and 

author of “White bear: a History,” was treated 

in September 2010 for rabies following a bat 

bite. Unfortunately, she also was allergic to 

the only treatment that could prevent rabies.

visionary leadership for the nasseff 

neuroscience Center and allow united to 

continue its work in developing research 

and treatment capabilities for stroke care. 

“this generous gift will allow us to raise 

the bar on neuroscience leadership 

and program development,” said duke

foundation. “We are grateful to the

RichaRd Shank, Md, RetiReS 

united hospital staff, nurses and 

physicians bid a warm farewell and 

sincerely thanked Richard shank, Md, 

for 32 plus years of service, as he retired 

Jan. 31, 2011. 

shank has served in many leadership roles 

at united hospital, including chair of 

the department of medicine, chair of the 

pharmacy and therapeutics Committee, 

secretary-treasurer of the medical staff, vice 

chief of staff, chief of staff and chair of the 

Credentials Committee. since 1996 he 

has been the medical director of Medicine 

services at united hospital and in 2002 

Bentson family for being advocates 

for changing the way we deliver care 

throughout Minnesota.” 

the Bentson foundation was started in 

1956 by larry and nancy Bentson to 

support a variety of philanthropic causes 

throughout Minnesota. previous gifts to 

the united hospital foundation from 

the Bentson foundation have funded the 

nancy & larry Bentson Cardiovascular 

laboratories in united hospital’s nasseff 

heart Center and neurosurgery suites in 

the nasseff neuroscience Center. 

“neurologic disorders affect millions 

of americans and their families,” said 

laurie Kauth, larry and nancy Bentson’s 

daughter. “We are pleased to support the 

nasseff neuroscience Center as it 

seeks to advance the diagnostic and 

transitioned from his clinic practice 

to full-time work as a hospitalist 

at united hospital. as chair of the 

diabetes Management team, he 

championed a team effort culminating 

in united becoming one of the first 10 

hospitals nationwide to be awarded the 

certificate of distinction for inpatient 

diabetes care by the Joint Commission 

and the american diabetes association. 

dr. shank’s years of service were marked 

with an unwavering dedication and 

commitment that was well recognized 

by his colleagues. he received the 2010

treatment options for patients with 

neurological diseases. 

“it is our sincere hope that many 

other individuals, foundations and 

corporations will join us in supporting 

this extraordinary and innovative center 

for research and care.” 

larry Bentson, who died in april 2009, 

had a 75-year career in broadcasting, 

entertainment and communications. 

he was instrumental in putting what is 

now KaRe-tV on the air in 1953 and 

later founded what is now Midcontinent 

Media, a company that provides cable 

television, digital phone and broadband 

internet service in Minnesota and north 

and south dakota. nancy died in 2004. 

she and larry were recipients of the 2003 

service to humanity award. 

service to humanity award, the 2009 

allina uncommon Caring award and 

two united hospital president’s awards 

in 2008. 

dr. shank and his wife, Barbara, 

have been married for 40 years and 

have two adult children, Kate and 

dan. his retirement plans include 

spending more time with his family, 

continuing volunteering with the 

Boy scouts of america and completing 

many woodworking projects at his 

home and cabin. 

Operating Room 

Expansion Project 

patients at united hospital 

know when they need surgery, 

united will provide exceptional 

care. But this ability is being 

tested. united’s operating 

rooms are too small and too 

antiquated for today’s, as well 

as tomorrow’s, state-of-the-art 

technology and capabilities. 

the fact that our physicians 

and staff have continued to 

provide quality, exceptional 

health care in undersized and 

limited facilities is a testimony 

to their knowledge, expertise 

and dedication. 

the majority of united 

hospital’s operating rooms 

were remodeled in the late 

1970s, before the advent of electronic medical records, portable 

ultrasound units, image-guided and robotic devices and many 

other technological advances. surgeons and staff often find 

themselves crowded in small operating rooms, high-stepping 

cables, maneuvering between portable carts and devices and 

often having to manually shift equipment into and out of the 

room during procedures. all of which add time, thus incurring 

additional costs and reducing efficiencies. in an era of reduced 

reimbursements and increased medical costs, efficient use of the 

surgical spaces becomes paramount. 

the united hospital foundation has begun fundraising to expand 

and improve united’s operating rooms. the new design will 

incorporate larger room size, enhanced lighting and technology 

and will improve patient flow and use of space.

In Memoriam: 

Peter J. King 

on March 14, 2011, peter J. King, a long-time friend and benefactor of 

united hospital and st. paul, died. he was 83 years old. 

although born and raised in Boston, Mass., King made Minnesota his home 

for more than 40 years. he came to Minnesota in 1971 to work as executive 

vice president and director of american hoist and derrick. he also served as 

president and director of pentair and was a major shareholder and director of 

the savin Corporation. in 1974, King formed sunrise international leasing 

Corporation, which ultimately became the 50th largest leasing company in 

the united states. at the time of his death, King was still active in his role 

as chair of King Capital Corporation, the holding company composed of 

sunrise international leasing Corporation, sunrise investments, llC, and 

Vanguard investments, llC. he also was founder and chair of the peter J. 

King family foundation, a nonprofit organization whose focus is to provide 

“brick-and-mortar” facilities to local communities and organizations whose 

activities are dedicated to the improvement of children’s health, education 

and welfare and the family environment. 

it was in the 1970s that King’s relationship with the West seventh 

community and st. paul began. Mayor George latimer and united 

hospital asked King to construct a building in a blighted area that would provide safe 

housing for hospital staff and local residents and also provide badly needed space for 

independent medical specialty groups. King constructed the irvine park towers and 

fort Road Medical Center. his family foundation also funded two child care facilities 

and a playground facility for low income housing in the area. 

King’s legacy is reflected throughout the West seventh area. as Russell King, son, says, 

“as a business, we have had a philosophy of investing wisely to get the most benefit

for the buck. We apply this same philosophy to our family 

foundation. Bricks and mortar provide benefits for thousands of 

beneficiaries each year that should last at least 50 years.” 

in 2006 the peter J. King family foundation made the lead gift 

of $3.5 million toward the construction of the new home for the 

peter J. King family health Center. this center, which opened 

in 2009, houses united family Medicine, an organization 

dedicated to providing access to comprehensive primary care 

regardless of ability to pay. 

“in our foundation’s work, we always seem to come back to 

the West seventh community and its needs. united family 

Medicine really fit our foundation’s mission perfectly,” said 

Russell King, who serves as president of the family foundation 

and King Capital Corporation and is a member of the united 

hospital Board of directors. 

another legacy is the new peter J. King emergency Care 

Center, a state-of-the-art emergency medicine facility that 

opened in april 2011 at united hospital (see page 3). the 

facility was named to honor King for the lead gift to the 

new facility. shortly before his death, peter King stated in 

an interview for this publication, “When i think of united 

hospital, i constantly think about its presence and its 

dedication to the West seventh neighborhood. united is part of 

a large health care system, but it is still very much a community 

hospital. despite its size, the doctors and staff are compassionate 

and they are always sensitive to the community’s needs.” 

“When i think of peter, i think about his commitment, passion 

and dedication to the people of st. paul and the community,” 

said duke adamski, united hospital foundation president. 

“over the years, peter, and now Russell, have recognized the 

needs of the community and then aggressively found ways to 

take care of that need. peter was a wonderful friend to this 

community and the hospital, and he will be missed.” 

peter is survived by his loving companion, ann fankhanel, his 

sons, Bill (Beth) and Russell; his grandsons, Kyle, Ryan and 

Michael King, William and daniel Graham, and Kellin and 

alex sandeno. he is also survived by sisters, demetra Bowers 

and ann larouche; sister-in-law, helen Kalafatas; many nieces 

and nephews; and a large group of loving, devoted friends.

United Breast Center 

Earns National Certification 

the united hospital Breast Center 

received three-year full accreditation 

by the national accreditation program 

for Breast Centers (napBC), a program 

administered by the american College of 

surgeons, in november 2010. the Breast 

Center is one of only three in Minnesota 

to have earned this distinction. 

accreditation by the napBC is 

only given to those centers that have 

voluntarily committed to provide the 

highest level of quality breast care and 

that undergo a rigorous evaluation process 

and review of their performance. 

“We are proud of the achievement the 

napBC certification represents,” said 

Rosemary oolman, Rn, Ma, oCn, 

patient care manager at the Breast 

Center. “particularly gratifying is that 

the united hospital Breast Center passed 

all 27 standards on which the napBC 

evaluates programs. that’s a reflection of 

the outstanding care provided by our staff, 

Staff of the United Hospital breast Center 

and the superior technology and support 

services we all provide that ensures quality 

care and screening for patients with breast 

health concerns or breast cancer.” 

the napBC report on the united 

hospital’s Breast Center survey 

congratulated the center for its strong 

leadership and multidisciplinary program. 

during the survey process, the center was 

required to demonstrate compliance with 

standards established by the napBC 

for treating women who are diagnosed 

with the full spectrum of breast disease. 

the standards include proficiency in 

the areas of: center leadership, clinical 

management, research, community 

outreach, professional education and 

quality improvement. a breast center 

that achieves napBC accreditation 

demonstrates a firm commitment to offer 

its patients every significant advantage in 

the battle against breast disease.

Supporting Parkinson’s Disease 

and Movement Disorders Research 

if you or someone you know has 

parkinson’s disease you are not alone. 

according to the national parkinson 

foundation, approximately 50,000-60,000 

new cases of parkinson’s disease are 

diagnosed each year in the united states. 

Worldwide, nearly 20 million people are 

affected by this chronic, degenerative 

neurologic disorder. since the cause of 

parkinson’s disease is unknown and there 

is no cure, research is a critical factor 

for the continued improvement of its 

diagnosis and treatment. some of this vital 

and exciting research is being conducted 

right here in the east metro because 

of support from the united hospital 

foundation and united hospital Research 

and education Committee. 

in 2010, Jawad a. Bajwa, Md, medical 

director of the united deep Brain 

stimulation program for Movement 

disorders began leading a scientific study 

to research parkinson’s disease, essential 

tremor, dystonia and other movement 

disorders in seven east metro area patients. 

the study, which is a collaboration 

between united hospital, neurological 

associates of st. paul, pa, Capistrant 

Center for parkinson’s disease and 

Movement disorders and the university of 

Minnesota, uses magnetoencephalography 

(MeG) as its primary research method. 

MeG is a safe, noninvasive and painless 

procedure that provides information 

on how a person’s brain functions. it 

can detect small biomagnetic signals 

produced by the brain, 

either spontaneously 

or in response to 

stimulation and 

provides data about 

the location(s) of 

brain tissue that 

produce these 

signals. this could 

help scientists to 

understand abnormal 

brain mechanisms 

in disorders like 

parkinson’s disease, 

essential tremor and 

dystonia. 

While findings from the 2010 research 

cannot yet be shared, dr. Bajwa and 

his team are working toward publishing 

articles in peer-reviewed prestigious 

neurologic journals and also will be 

presenting posters at some international 

conferences this year. also, based on the 

pilot data, dr. Bajwa and his team have 

submitted medical research grants to the 

national institutes of health (nih) and 

dystonia Medical Research foundation 

and plan to submit additional nih grants 

this year. even if these grants are awarded, 

additional funding will be required and 

is critical for the continuation of this 

research endeavor over years to come. 

this may help the scientific community to 

understand disease like parkinson’s disease 

better and develop improved drugs and 

devices for treatment in the future.

Celebrating the 

Hearts of Women 

on february 17, 60 women gathered for an english 

tea at the saint paul hotel to celebrate the hearts 

of women. Guests’ showed their passionate support 

of bringing awareness to heart disease by wearing 

something red. the united hospital foundation event 

educated women on the risks and facts of heart disease, 

as well as the programs, services and resources of the 

nasseff heart Center at united hospital. 

the women heard presentations by tomi Ryba, 

president of united hospital, Julianne scott, director 

of the nasseff heart Center, Kris Coleman, leader 

of cardiac rehabilitation and the Milton M. hurwitz 

exerCare fitness Center, and Margaret Beahrs, Md, 

a cardiologist with united heart & Vascular Clinic. 

one feature was a presentation by Maureen Marshall, a 

heart patient. 

united hospital and united heart & Vascular Clinic are proud to be in the top 

10 percent of hospitals in the nation for quickly opening blocked arteries. the quicker 

a patient’s arteries are opened, the greater chance for less heart damage and a more 

successful recovery. this is just one of many remarkable achievements that showcase 

the quality partnerships, dedicated staff and state-of-the-art techniques that make the 

nasseff heart Center a state and national leader in heart care. 

a special thank you to Medtronic for supporting the afternoon of tea.

our community.

Enhancing EMS Partnerships 

the east Metro experienced an exciting year of 

growth with its emergency medical services (eMs) 

partnerships in 2010. 

united hospital saw continuation in the 

partnership with the city of Burnsville to provide 

medical direction to the fire department’s 

ambulance service. Joe Madigan, Md, and larry 

erickson, Md, provide physician oversight for the 

fire department’s paramedics. 

united also provides medical oversight for the 

dakota Communications Center (dCC). the 

dCC answers all 9-1-1 calls in dakota County and 

provides medical screening and advice for those 

calls involving medical emergencies. dr. erickson 

serves as medical director to oversee this activity. the training of the dispatcher and ongoing 

quality improvement are supported by allina Medical transportation’s dispatch leadership team. 

this year also saw the city of Woodbury contract with allina’s office of eMs for medical 

direction and continuing education support of the city’s paramedics. paul satterlee, Md, 

is the lead medical director and is also supported by drs. Jay Westwater, Chris Kapsner 

and Joe Madigan. other support for Woodbury includes providing medications through 

united’s pharmacy. 

these new and continuing partnerships reflect united’s growing commitment and influence in 

supporting eMs providers. through such partnerships, united helps improve the quality of care 

provided to patients in emergency situation, as well 

as the overall health of the communities we serve. 

Telling our Story 

if you have driven past united hospital on interstate 35e in 

recent months chances are you have seen banners promoting our 

nationally recognized outcomes in stroke and heart care. 

the outside banners are part of a hospital-wide effort to tell 

united’s story of earning national certification or accreditation, as 

well as general promotion of the hospital. as with billboards, the 

banners are designed to quickly share a brief message with drivers. 

throughout the year banners featuring different services, including 

our cancer care, diabetes program and others, will be displayed on 

the patient towers.

*The “donut hole” was 

created in 2003 and affects 

those enrolled in medicare 

who have prescription drug 

coverage medicare Part D. in 

2011, this means: 

• you pay out-of-pocket 

for monthly Part D 

premiums all year. 

• you pay 100% of 

your drug costs until 

you reach the $310 

deductible amount. 

• after reaching the 

deductible, you pay 

25% of the cost of your 

drugs, while Part D pays 

the rest, until the total 

you and your plan spend 

reaches $2,800. 

• once you reach this 

limit, you have hit the 

coverage gap called the 

“donut hole.” you are 

now responsible for the 

full cost of your drugs 

until your total reaches 

the yearly out-of-pocket 

spending limit of $4,550. 

• after this yearly 

spending limit, you are 

only responsible for a 

small amount of the 

cost, usually 5 percent of 

the cost of your drugs.

Federal Health Care Reform 

understanding the hundreds of 

provisions in federal health care reform 

and knowing which changes will affect 

you and your family can be a daunting 

task. under the patient protection and 

affordable Care act, the biggest change 

is that more americans will have access 

to health insurance. 

in 2014, individuals will be required 

to have insurance and large employers 

will be required to provide insurance or 

both will face a fine. individual plans 

can be purchased through new insurance 

markets and some will qualify for credits 

to help cover the costs. 

here’s a breakdown of some recent and 

upcoming changes: 

As of December 2010: 

• Young adults can stay enrolled on 

their parents’ plans until age 26. 

• insurance companies can’t take away 

your coverage if you get sick or cap 

your lifetime coverage. 

• Companies can’t deny coverage 

to children with pre-existing 

conditions. and a new high-risk plan 

provides coverage to uninsured adults 

with pre-existing conditions. 

• if you enroll in a plan through work, 

you receive free preventive care. 

• You’ll get a $250 tax rebate if you’re 

enrolled in Medicare part d and hit 

the “donut hole.”* 

In 2011: 

• if you’re enrolled in Medicare, 

preventive care including annual 

wellness checkups will be free. 

• if you’re in the “donut hole,” you’ll 

get half-off brand-name drugs. 

federal health care reform is designed to slowly 

phase out the “donut hole” clause in medicare Part 

D prescription drug coverage that requires those 

enrolled to pay thousands in drug costs each year. 

• You’ll no longer be able to pay 

for over-the-counter drugs not 

prescribed by a doctor with flexible 

savings plans or health spending 

accounts. 

In 2014: 

• if you don’t have health insurance, 

you’ll face tax penalties that increase 

each year. 

• insurance companies won’t be able 

to deny you coverage or base your 

premiums on your health status. 

they also can’t cap your yearly 

coverage. 

• if you still don’t have coverage 

through work, you’ll be able to buy 

affordable plans through new statebased 

insurance exchanges. 

• all health coverage must meet 

new government standards for the 

benefits it provides.

United Hospital employees 

volunteered their time and 

talents to provide a Wellness 

fair at the 2010 East metro 

Project Homeless Connect, 

held at the Saint Paul river 

Centre. Such volunteer 

activities are part of allina’s 

commitment to the communities 

in which we provide 

health care services. 

24 

Allina Launches Community 

Engagement Program 

throughout the 

past year, allina 

hospitals & Clinics 

formalized a deeper, 

broader community 

engagement plan 

for the nine regions 

in which allina 

provides health 

care services. in the 

east metro, which 

includes united 

hospital and 21 

aspen and allina 

Medical Clinics in 

Ramsey, dakota 

and Washington counties, community 

engagement staff will manage a variety 

of activities focused on supporting 

employee volunteerism, developing 

health improvement opportunities for 

underserved communities, engaging in 

health care public policy and advocacy 

and formalizing charitable contributions. 

the overarching goal in all this work is 

to foster a culture and reputation as a 

compassionate, trusted community partner 

known for health, wellness and excellent 

health care. 

through extensive research and health 

needs assessments, allina discovered 

recurring themes and ongoing community 

health challenges around obesity 

and mental health. as a result, the 

community engagement program will 

center on helping members of underserved 

communities improve their nutrition, 

increase physical activity and enhance life 

balance – healthy, active living! 

East Metro Community Health Dialogue 

united hospital hosted a community 

health dialogue at the Wilder foundation 

where community leaders, social service 

providers, public health experts, elected 

officials, school representatives and others 

discussed community barriers and assets 

for achieving good health. they identified 

opportunities for allina to support and 

promote healthful eating, active living, 

maintaining life balance and generally 

foster improved community health in the 

east metro region. 

the most commonly cited barriers to 

community health in the east metro were 

unequal health care access for low-income 

individuals and communities of color; the 

increased influence of technology and 

“passive” entertainment; ease of access 

to cheap, unhealthy food; and lack of 

safe spaces for children to play outdoors, 

unsupervised. the group also identified 

adolescents, single adults with children 

and communities of color as those most 

negatively impacted by these barriers. 

in the coming months allina’s director 

of community engagement for the east 

metro, heather peterson, along with 

project coordinator patty Carlson, will 

be working with staff at united hospital 

and east metro clinics to develop specific 

strategies and activities within the east 

metro region that address these important 

health improvement issues.

Recent tax legislation extended the 

Bush tax cuts for two more years as 

a compromise to dealing with tough 

economic times. although some in 

Congress called for making these cuts 

permanent, that did not happen. in my 

experience, no tax legislation will ever be 

permanent; however, with the extension 

of the Bush tax cuts and the certainty for 

estates for the next two years, we should 

be able to do a better job as it relates to 

charitable planning in this period of time. 

although charitable planning is often 

guided or determined by tax laws in 

effect at the time, we need to consider a 

number of other elements to truly make a 

difference. first, medical research is at the 

forefront of extending and improving the 

quality of life. let me say that once more 

– extending and improving the quality of 

life. now, more than at any other point 

of time, it is important that continued 

support for medical research occurs. the 

needs of many require continued financial 

support from those who can do so. 

second, it is easier to give of ourselves 

when we have ways to replenish those 

funds for family members who survive 

us. the use of charitable trusts and 

other irrevocable trusts can aid us in our 

long-term planning. 

third, tax legislation is never static. it 

will always change, which requires us to 

deal with the advantages that are present 

now and to spend less time worrying 

about the future. in my article in the 

fall 2010 united hospital foundation 

planned giving 

now is the time to act 

newsletter, i noted that carryover basis 

and better record keeping could become 

a concern. i also noted that by 

contributing highly appreciated assets, 

one might alleviate some of those record 

keeping concerns. 

the recent tax legislation continues to 

allow for stepping up the basis to date of 

death for deaths in 2010, 2011 and 2012. 

Whether it will continue after 2012 will 

depend upon the efforts of Congress. for 

gifts of assets prior to death, the basis for 

the donee is usually the same as it is in 

the hands of the donor. 

today, there has never been a better 

time where people who have substantial 

assets can make a difference in improving 

quality of life. through contribution 

of these assets to qualified charitable 

organizations, there is virtually no tax 

when those assets are liquidated, which 

leaves a greater amount of dollars that 

can be spent toward medical research. 

this means that greater benefits during 

the next two years and beyond exist in 

contributing highly appreciated assets 

to either charitable trusts or to donor 

advised funds, such as those of the united 

hospital foundation. With proper 

planning we can be certain to maximize 

tax savings in making those contributions, 

whether they are current gifts or legacy 

gifts from a will or trust. 

in conclusion, please consider making 

those gifts now when they can make a 

greater difference for us, our loved ones, 

our friends and our community.

celebRatinG national patient RecoGnition Week 

United Hospital’s nutrition Services Department celebrated national Patient 

recognition Week february 1-7. Staff visited patients and let them know that 

they appreciated being able to care for them and for choosing United Hospital. 

With help from the alumni Club nutrition Services staff offered hot apple cider, 

hot spiced apple tea or Sprite® to patients and their visitors. Crystal olson, 

nutrition Services, enjoyed working with the alumni Club. 

“i just loved working with the ladies, they were all so cute and excited to be 

here,” said olson. “i think the experience was a win for everyone involved. 

Thank you alumni Club for your dedication to our patients and making this 

day a great success.” 

national Patient recognition Week promotes observance of health care

patient satisfaction, health care providers can use the time to consider ways 

in which they can enhance it.

The Heritage Society 

the heritage society is our way of acknowledging donors who make the foundation part of their estate plan 

or who provide perpetual support of our hospital through the creation of an endowment fund. these generous 

individuals are shapers of the future, making their mark with gifts that will benefit generations to come. an 

estate gift is so much more than a donation. it is a charitable act that provides a steady stream of support that 

allows the foundation to respond to changing needs – forever. 

to become a member of the heritage society, all you need to do is inform us of the provision you have made 

for the foundation in your will or trust. the amount can vary and does not have to be disclosed. You may 

remain anonymous if you wish. 

for more information, please contact the united hospital foundation at 651-241-8022. Confidential 

consultation on charitable giving with foundation staff or other experts is available.
