Greetings,<br />
“I have never had such great customer service from an entire team of<br />
medical professionals as I did in the 16 hours I was at your facility…<br />
No one made me feel like I was putting them out on a holiday and everyone was upbeat and<br />
professional. Your staff went way out of their way to make sure my husband was comfortable<br />
too. You have a great medical team. The atmosphere must be right to have such great<br />
customer service.”<br />
Every year we receive many notes of thanks like this one. Some are from yearround<br />
residents and many are from seasonal visitors, but each note mentions our highquality<br />
care and our compassionate, personal attention.<br />
Both Miles and St. Andrews enjoy some of the highest patient satisfaction rates in<br />
<strong>Maine</strong> and in the U.S. While you could easily attribute this to our top-notch medical<br />
staff and employees, ultimately it’s the generous support of the community that<br />
has sustained our organizations and helped us achieve our statewide reputation for<br />
excellence.<br />
Thanks to people like you (our donors, our volunteers), and the tireless work of our<br />
Auxiliary and League members, we were able to purchase vital equipment for our<br />
hospitals, including a new nurse call system and programmable I.V. pumps. We were also able to maintain programs such as the CMCC/<br />
LCH Education <strong>Center</strong> which help us build a brighter future for both our hospitals and our wider community.<br />
Each year we publish an annual report to update our communities on our goals and progress, and to thank the thousands of supporters<br />
who make our work possible. The many notes of thanks, like the one above, are the direct result of your thoughtful generosity.<br />
On behalf of the trustees, administration, medical staff, and employees of the Lincoln County Healthcare organizations, thank you<br />
so much for your generous support. And, as always, please feel free to contact me at (207) 563-4500 with any suggestions, questions or<br />
concerns.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
James W. Donovan<br />

Doing Whatever It Takes<br />
4<br />
When Pediatrician <strong>Steven</strong> <strong>Feder</strong> isn’t seeing<br />
patients at his offices in Boothbay Harbor and<br />
Damariscotta, he can often be found coaching<br />
them on the playing fields.<br />
<strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Feder</strong> has always been a team player, whether<br />
playing football in college and Scotland (he played<br />
a year of professional football for the Fife 49ers)<br />
or working with other providers to insure the<br />
best possible health services in schools as medical<br />
director of the Lincoln Academy and Boothbay<br />
Region High School health centers.<br />
That dedication has earned him accolades from<br />
the <strong>Maine</strong> Osteopathic Association, which named<br />
him <strong>Maine</strong> Outstanding Young Physician in 2002<br />
and Physician of the Year in 2006, and from the<br />
American Academy of Pediatrics, which gave him<br />
a 2010 Community Achievement Award.<br />
Now <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Feder</strong>, who lives in Boothbay Harbor<br />
with his wife, Amy Winston, has added a new<br />
responsibility.<br />
As the first <strong>Medical</strong> Staff President of Lincoln<br />
County <strong>Medical</strong> Partners, <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Feder</strong> will represent<br />
the medical staffs of Miles and St. Andrews<br />
Hospitals on the Lincoln<br />
County Healthcare Board<br />
of Trustees.<br />
<strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Feder</strong> said his top<br />
priorities include working<br />
to insure cohesion<br />
between doctors in both<br />
communities (including<br />
those employed by the<br />
hospital and those in<br />
private practice) and<br />
to bring the benefits of<br />
<strong>Maine</strong>Health, the state’s<br />
largest integrated health<br />
care system, to Lincoln County Healthcare<br />
patients.<br />
A more integrated health care system in Lincoln<br />
County means more cost-effective services,<br />
and it also means developing the cooperative<br />
relationships that are critical to responding<br />
effectively to health threats of all description, from<br />
the H1N1 flu to childhood obesity.
Ricki Waltz, RN, School<br />
Nurse at Lincoln Academy<br />
in Newcastle, has worked<br />
with <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Feder</strong> since he<br />
first came to the county in<br />
1998. He is also her two<br />
sons’ physician.<br />
She trusts <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Feder</strong> as a<br />
doctor, and she also knows<br />
she can count on him as<br />
medical director for the<br />
Lincoln Academy Health<br />
<strong>Center</strong> to keep students<br />
healthy.<br />
“The really big thing that sticks out to me about<br />
Steve is he is willing to do whatever it takes to<br />
provide services,” said Waltz.<br />
If a student can’t make it to an appointment after<br />
school, <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Feder</strong> sometimes stops by the school to<br />
see them in the morning, she said. Often, students<br />
will ask for him by name because they know and<br />
trust him, said Waltz.<br />
That sense of trust has long-term consequences,<br />
said Waltz. “It establishes a relationship with<br />
health care people that they are going to need at<br />
some point in their life, even if they are healthy.”<br />
<strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Feder</strong> said he learned the value of being an<br />
active participant in his patients’ lives from his own<br />
pediatrician, who was also the coach of <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Feder</strong>’s<br />
youth football team and a mentor when he first<br />
considered a medical career.<br />
That lesson has stayed with him throughout<br />
his own medical career. For <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Feder</strong>, taking<br />
good care of his patients is a job that extends far<br />
beyond regular office hours, whether that means<br />
volunteering, teaching health classes, coaching or<br />
working with others to insure good services for<br />
children.<br />
“I see it as part of the whole package. Teaching<br />
kids leadership, teaching them character, helping<br />
kids be healthy in a lot of different ways,” said <strong>Dr</strong>.<br />
<strong>Feder</strong>.<br />

The Best Care is With<br />
Those Who Know You Best<br />
Lincoln <strong>Medical</strong> Partners General Surgeons Matthew<br />
Zadrowski, MD, Mark <strong>Maine</strong>lla, DO, and Garth Miller, MD.<br />
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Wendy Nichols<br />
noticed the difference the first shift she worked at<br />
Miles Memorial Hospital ten years ago.<br />
6<br />
“The surgeons and the staff and everybody else really<br />
care about the patients. They care about every aspect of<br />
the patient,” said Nichols, an advanced practice nurse<br />
who lives in Hawaii but works on a temporary basis at<br />
hospitals across the United States.<br />
At other hospitals, the emphasis is often on<br />
performing surgery on as many patients as possible or<br />
using the latest technology, said Nichols.<br />
At Miles Memorial and St. Andrews Hospitals,<br />
where Lincoln <strong>Medical</strong> Partners general surgeons<br />
practice, the focus is simply on the patient.<br />
That focus and the professionalism of the surgical<br />
team she works with is the reason Nichols twice<br />
chose to have her own surgery performed by Lincoln<br />
<strong>Medical</strong> Partners surgeons, although her regular doctor<br />
is in Hawaii.<br />
That sort of decision by a member of a surgical staff is<br />
as good an indicator of quality as any statistic, she said.<br />
“If you want to know where to have surgery, ask the<br />
staff,” said Nichols. The people she works with won’t<br />
have surgery anywhere else, she added.<br />
“Our surgeons look at the patient as somebody they<br />
are going to be sitting next to in church or standing<br />
next to in the line at the grocery store,” said Nichols.<br />
Surgeon Garth Miller, MD, has been operating in<br />
Lincoln County for approximately twenty years, often<br />
on people he has known for years.<br />
<strong>Dr</strong>. Miller joined Lincoln <strong>Medical</strong> Partners last<br />
year because he wanted to spend more time with<br />
his patients and less time handling burdensome<br />
administrative duties.<br />
A specialist in laparoscopic (minimally invasive<br />
surgery), <strong>Dr</strong>. Miller has been gratified by the steady<br />
improvement in laparoscopic techniques and<br />
instruments over the years. Laparoscopic techniques<br />
allow surgeons to perform many common surgeries<br />
using minimally invasive techniques that cause less<br />
pain and disability.
A new Lincoln County Healthcare three-year contract with<br />
Olympus, a maker of surgical optics, means Miles and St. Andrews<br />
surgeons will have access to state-of-the art optics as they become<br />
available.<br />
The new equipment offers surgeons an optical improvement<br />
roughly the same as the increase in clarity between an old cathode-<br />
ray television set and a new high-definition T.V.<br />
To a surgeon, that increase in clarity can be critical. The better<br />
optics help them see polyps or other abnormalities at an earlier<br />
stage and work more precisely around vital structures like blood<br />
vessels or nerves.<br />
“In many ways it will help operations go more smoothly and more<br />
quickly and safely,”<br />
said Miller.<br />
New electronic<br />
medical records<br />
systems at both St.<br />
Andrews and Miles<br />
also mean that<br />
surgeons have access<br />
to previous test results,<br />
diagnoses and other<br />
information about<br />
patients previously<br />
treated at Miles and<br />
St. Andrews, that<br />
can help prevent<br />
medical errors and<br />
also reduce costs by<br />
avoiding unnecessary<br />
duplication of tests.<br />
“We know that we<br />
can’t do everything that a big hospital can do and we try to limit our<br />
practice to what we can do well,” said <strong>Dr</strong>. Miller.<br />
What it does mean, however, is that patients needing many<br />
common surgeries, including gallbladder surgery, hernia repairs and<br />
colonoscopies, can be confident that they can have their operation<br />
locally without any sacrifice in quality.<br />
“You can get your surgery here and be assured you are getting just<br />
as good care as you can get anywhere else, or better, because we<br />
know you,” said <strong>Dr</strong>. Miller.<br />

Part of a Big Team<br />
Susan Endicott was examining a sump pump in a<br />
friend’s water-filled basement last summer when she<br />
felt a horrible pressure in her chest.<br />
Healthy and physically active at 56, Susan recognized<br />
the symptoms of a heart attack, but at first had difficult<br />
yconfronting the reality of her condition.<br />
“Heart attack went through my mind, but I thought<br />
instantly ‘I can’t afford that, so this has to be something<br />
else’”, she said.<br />
When she went upstairs to lie down, however, her<br />
husband, Robert Mitchell, quickly found his wife an<br />
aspirin and got her to the car.<br />
Moments later, Endicott was passing<br />
through the familiar doors of the St.<br />
Andrews Hospital Emergency Department.<br />
She had been in the Emergency Department<br />
several times over the years, but always as a<br />
caregiver, never as a patient. She realized her<br />
situation was serious, but she also knew that<br />
she was in a good place.<br />
“They were flying around taking care of me.<br />
All the angels were in place, they were just<br />
completely efficient,” said Endicott.<br />
<strong>Dr</strong>. Phelps Carter, an emergency<br />
physician with 38 years experience at <strong>Maine</strong><br />
<strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> in Portland, ordered an<br />
electrocardiogram and notified Susan that she<br />
was having a heart attack. Within minutes,<br />
a nurse had administered a medication to<br />
dissolve clots blocking the flow of blood to heart muscle,<br />
and <strong>Dr</strong>. Carter called the coronary catheterization<br />
laboratory at <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> to notify them that<br />
Susan was on her way.<br />
As a member of the <strong>Maine</strong>Health integrated health<br />
network, which was ranked 26 th in the nation in 2009 by<br />
SDI, a healthcare market insight and analytics firm, St.<br />
Andrews is a member of a network dedicated to using<br />
all of its resources to insure patients at every member<br />
facility receive the best care possible.<br />
<strong>Maine</strong>Health’s members include <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Medical</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong>, one of the top centers for cardiac care in the<br />
country.<br />
When <strong>Dr</strong>. Carter realized that Endicott needed care<br />
that couldn’t be provided at the small rural hospital,<br />
he arranged for her transfer to the large urban medical<br />
center.<br />
8<br />
“That is one of the great things about being part<br />
of a big team. You have access to help if you need<br />
it,” said <strong>Dr</strong>. Carter. “I can do the initial lifesaving<br />
procedures, but then I am going to need people who can<br />
carry the patient forward in his or her health care.”<br />
When Endicott arrived at <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, she<br />
found herself in a room filled with doctors, nurses and<br />
technicians highly trained in a very specialized field.<br />
Using state-of-the-art x-ray equipment and tiny optical<br />
sensors, the team found the source of the blood clot that<br />
had caused her heart attack and inserted a stent.<br />
After undergoing rehabilitation at <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Medical</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong>, Endicott returned home to an outpouring of<br />
support.<br />
The experience taught Endicott several things: She<br />
learned how much love and affection surrounded<br />
her in the Boothbay community, and that even with<br />
a healthy lifestyle, nobody can take their health for<br />
granted.<br />
It also left her with a deep sense of gratitude. She is<br />
grateful that she survived the heart attack, and also for<br />
her family and everyone who treated her or played a<br />
role in her care that day, including <strong>Dr</strong>. Carter and the<br />
staff at St. Andrews.<br />
“We love this little hospital and it has gotten better<br />
and better and better all the time,” she said.<br />

Stanley Freeman<br />
Since his great grandfather built the<br />
first cottage on Dogfish Head in 1887, six<br />
generations of Stanley Freeman’s family<br />
have spent summers in Southport.<br />
During that time, the Boothbay area<br />
has played a special part in the Freeman<br />
family’s life, a place to return each summer<br />
to reconnect with each other and a unique<br />
community.<br />
Part of that community is St. Andrews<br />
Hospital and Healthcare <strong>Center</strong>, which<br />
Freeman has given an annual gift to for<br />
many years.<br />
“One of my cousins was born at St.<br />
Andrews and my mother died at St.<br />
Andrews,” said Freeman. “As we have had<br />
aging experiences ourselves, we wanted to<br />
acknowledge that it was important to have<br />
a resource there.”<br />
Last year, however, Freeman gave an<br />
additional gift to acknowledge the high<br />
level of care he himself received at St.<br />
Andrews.<br />
At age 83, Freeman has had two heart<br />
valve transplants at Eastern <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Medical</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong> in Bangor, where he was also a trustee for 36<br />
years. Last summer, while staying in Southport, he<br />
woke up in the middle of the night with a strange<br />
sensation in his chest.<br />
After driving to St. Andrews at 7 a.m., Freeman met<br />
Emergency Physician Timothy Fox, MD. <strong>Dr</strong>. Fox and<br />
the St. Andrews Emergency Department team did a<br />
thorough check-up and provided Freeman’s Bangor<br />
primary care doctor with a full report.<br />
His doctor described the document as the “most<br />
complete and thorough report from another hospital<br />
he had ever seen,” said Freeman, who was not surprised<br />
after watching the St. Andrews team in action.<br />
“They obviously had a protocol they were using and<br />
everything went smoothly,” said Freeman, who served<br />
as chairman of the Education and Quality committees<br />
during his years on the Eastern <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong><br />
board.<br />
During his second heart operation, in 2006, Freeman<br />
took notes on every moment of his surgical experience,<br />
except when he was under anesthesia. He offered his<br />
observations to the board in a report entitled “Under<br />
the Covers.”<br />
Open heart surgery requires an extremely high level<br />
of precision and teamwork, said Freeman.<br />
“It is choreographed ballet. Each person has to be<br />
at the right place at the right moment to do the right<br />
thing,” he said.<br />
As in ballet, each movement arises from extensive<br />
training and practice, forming a seamless sequence of<br />
actions centered on offering excellent care.<br />
To Freeman, that level of teamwork and dedication<br />
is an achievement worthy of recognition, whether it<br />
happens in Bangor or Boothbay Harbor.<br />

The fabulous St. Andrews Sisters (Penny Thumith, Carol Lingard, and Brenda Donovan) were the headlining act at the<br />
2010 St. Andrews Spring Fling. The Spring Fling is just one way the St. Andrews Hospital Auxiliary members and<br />
volunteers supported the hospital, St. Andrews Village, and the John F. Andrews Family Care <strong>Center</strong> over the past year.<br />
By donating more than $95,000 to help the hospital keep up with changes in technology and support its education<br />
programs, the auxiliary plays a vital role in ensuring their community will continue to receive the best possible care.<br />
The donor list has been prepared to<br />
acknowledge the generous support<br />
of contributors to St. Andrews from<br />
January 1 through December 31, 2009.<br />

FY 2009 Lincoln County Healthcare Community Benefits Statement<br />
Lincoln County Healthcare, Inc.’s (LCH) day-to-day operations as a tax-exempt organization include many system-wide initiatives to<br />
provide inpatient, outpatient, chronic and acute health care services to the people of Lincoln County, <strong>Maine</strong>. With these programs,<br />
LCH hopes to fill existing local gaps, while making a positive impact in the communities we serve. This report will summarize LCH’s<br />
community benefits efforts over the last year. The final section (VII) will also provide a financial summary of charity care, bad debt,<br />
government-sponsored health care, and all subsidized community programs and other support.<br />
Lincoln County Healthcare’s mission is to ensure access to high-quality, patient-centered and affordable health care to the people of<br />
our region. As renowned rural healthcare centers, St. Andrews and Miles primary focus is patient care, comfort, and safety provided by<br />
a personable, professional staff, utilizing the finest technology and equipment. We are active members of the <strong>Maine</strong>Health® Family of<br />

degree program in Lincoln County, opened in September 2008<br />
to eight students. First year students have the option to earn a<br />
Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) within a year and will have<br />
a five year grace period to complete the requirements for the<br />
RN credential, should they choose, or continue on for a second<br />
year to become a Registered Nurse. The program collaboratively<br />
works with colleges, clinical departments of the hospital, long<br />
term care facilities, <strong>Maine</strong>Health, Lincoln Academy, and local<br />
businesses. Students receive classroom training at Central<br />
<strong>Maine</strong> Community College and in classrooms at the Lincoln<br />
County Healthcare Education <strong>Center</strong> located at 66A Chapman<br />
Street in Damariscotta. An agreement with Lincoln Academy<br />
will allow students to use their labs for a percentage of their<br />
work. Clinical training will be at Miles Memorial Hospital,<br />
and at our long-term facilities in both communities. Lincoln<br />
County Healthcare provides administrative services, clinical<br />
training, equipment, supplies, technical support, and two full<br />
scholarships to the school.<br />
Access to Care Programs<br />
CarePartners – The program arranges the provision of donated<br />
healthcare services for low income uninsured <strong>Maine</strong>rs in Cumberland,<br />
Kennebec, Lincoln, and Waldo Counties. CarePartners also provides<br />
administrative support to help serve the target population, including<br />

low cost or free pharmaceuticals.<br />
MedAccess – The program provided access to approximately $2.2<br />
million of free medications in FY09. CarePartners provides this<br />
community resource to uninsured and underinsured community<br />
17
members through the Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs). In<br />
addition to this service, MedAccess offers application assistance for<br />
other prescription access programs (Medicare Part D, etc.), local lowcost<br />
generic programs, and other state and federal programs either inperson<br />
or through a toll-free number.<br />
Lincoln County Healthcare’s Aggregate<br />
Net Community Benefit Investment = $7,108,718.00<br />
Billing and Collection Practices<br />
Lincoln County Healthcare charges all patients the same price for the<br />
same services, regardless of payor source. Individuals are not required to<br />
pay or make arrangements to pay prior to the services being provided.<br />
On average, the first bill is sent to a patient 7-10 days after services are<br />
provided. After that initial billing date, the patient has 30 days to pay<br />
for those services. Before collection action is taken, three notices must<br />
be sent to patients informing them of their lack of proper payments and<br />
continued attempts to communicate with them about a solution. In the<br />
absence of either full payment or a patient’s attempts to communicate<br />
in order to resolve the situation, LCH does use a responsible and<br />
professional collection agency, if necessary. A bill will become classified<br />
as “bad debt” if a patient has not paid the full amount within 120<br />
days. <strong>Maine</strong>Health hospitals may pursue legal action for collecting an<br />
outstanding bill only with prior Board approval. The LCH Board has<br />
not voted to pursue such legal action in the past several years. Member<br />
organizations offering long-term and residential care services have, from<br />
time to time, taken legal action to collect amounts due from patients or<br />
residents who are not covered under the <strong>Maine</strong>Care program and have<br />
the sufficient resources to pay for the services they received.<br />
Charity Care Policies<br />
Lincoln County Healthcare’s policy of charity care and financial<br />
assistance is easily understood, prominently posted, and publicly<br />
available. A process exists for offering charity care or financial assistance<br />
to patients who are unable to pay after they have already been billed. In<br />
addition to monitoring collection practices, copies of the charity care<br />
policy are made available to patients at the main entrance and with bill/<br />
collection notices. The organization uses simple application procedures<br />
for charity care or financial assistance that do not intimidate or confuse<br />
applicants. LCH’s employees who work in billing, and accounts<br />
receivable are fully informed and educated about all financial assistance<br />
policies. These staff members identify unpaid bills where persons are<br />
unable to pay, and separates these potential “charity care” bills from<br />
other bad debt accounts.<br />
Notice Of Availability Of Uncompensated Services<br />
Miles Memorial Hospital and St. Andrews Hospital are required by law<br />
to give a reasonable amount of its services without charge to eligible<br />
persons who cannot afford to pay for care. To be eligible to receive<br />
uncompensated service, your family income must be at or below the<br />
following levels:<br />
100% write off 75% write off 50% write off<br />
1 0 – $18,953 up to $21,660 up to $24,368<br />

Good Governance and<br />
Executive Compensation Policies<br />
Good Governance<br />
LCH has a Board of 20 community members, the majority of whom are<br />
not practicing physicians, officers, department heads, or other employees<br />
with a financial connection or otherwise affiliated with the organization<br />
itself. The Board meets 12 times a year (on average), and has a written<br />
“conflict of interest” policy in place. The Board understands the specific<br />
mission of the organization, and approves strategic planning initiatives<br />
aimed at carrying out this mission. Trustees understand their fiscal and<br />
other specific responsibilities while serving on the Board, and further<br />
education/information is provided to Board members if requested.<br />
Trustees and Executive Officers of LCH do not receive loans on behalf<br />
of the organization. The organization ensures that a substantial part<br />
of its activities do not involve attempts to influence legislation, and<br />
that it will not take an official position or provide direct support for or<br />
against a political candidate. Moreover, in addition to the CEO, CFO,<br />
or both officially signing-off on the annual 990s and audited financial<br />
statements, the Board of Trustees must also have final approval of the<br />
annually audited financial statements. The Board has also adopted and<br />
maintains a corporate compliance program that includes a Code of<br />
Conduct for all staff education and training, monitoring for compliance,<br />
and a Helpline for staff to call, all intended to produce continual<br />
compliance with organizational policies and the law.<br />
Executive Compensation<br />
LCH has a formal written compensation policy in place. In consultation<br />
with Towers Perrin, The <strong>Maine</strong>Health Board Compensation Committee<br />
establishes appropriate compensation parameters for each member<br />
organization’s CEO and certain members of their Senior Management<br />
team. Working within those parameters, the LCH Board determines the<br />
level of compensation for its CEO. The findings of the Compensation<br />
Committee are made transparent to, and voted on by, the full Governing<br />
Board. This “total executive compensation” is filed publicly by the<br />
organization, and includes “total cash compensation” and “total value<br />
of all benefits and perquisites associated with position (such as housing<br />
allowances, social club memberships, signing bonuses, etc.).” The Board<br />
takes necessary action to prevent the CEO from voting or directly<br />
participating in the final Committee determination of, her/his, own<br />
compensation. The organization’s executive compensation procedure<br />
relies upon appropriate data for comparability (e.g. compensation levels<br />
paid by both taxable and tax-exempt similarly-situated organizations<br />
and independent compensation surveys by nationally recognized<br />
independent firms). Finally, the organization refrains from allowing<br />
executive compensation to ever be based solely on LCH’s revenues or<br />
other similar profit-sharing strategies.<br />
