2015 was another year of accepting change as it came...some expected, some

not. We continued to see changes in the healthcare marketplace on a local,

regional and national level. We adapted to the changes and always kept the

healthcare needs of our patients as a priority.

We have always met our patients where their lives are at the moment of service.

Commitments are made to treat each individual with the same care and kindness

we would provide our own family members.

We do this day after day, one patient at a time. At the end of every year we look

at the numbers and are continually amazed with the outcomes.

Our great team of medical and dental providers, along with the Crusader

Community Health and Crusader Foundation boards, remained steady to their

commitment of the Crusader mission and provided high quality health and dental

care with respect and dignity.

During the past year, we’ve made significant upgrades to many of our facilities.

These improvements made the patient experience, as well as our employee work

environments, more enjoyable and safe. 2016 will see the building of our sixth clinic

in the heart of Rockford -- where patient need continues to grow.

As it has been for our entire existence, the environments in which many of our

patients are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age are unique. They affect

a wide range of health and quality-of-life issues. Social and economic challenges

that our patients face are often difficult for many of us to understand. Yet our

medical and dental providers successfully address these challenges every day.

Crusader continues to enhance the quality of life for our patients. We give patients

reassurance and hope. Our teams engage our patients in a unique manner. The

results of our most recent Patient Satisfaction Survey indicate that our patients

understand and appreciate the many benefits offered them by Crusader.

The Crusader management team and I continue to be optimistic about the years

ahead. We will tackle each future challenge in the manner that has worked well

for us for over 44 years. Plan well for tomorrow. Be present each day. Treat every

patient with dignity and respect. Work hard and have fun. It’s The Crusader Way!

CRUSADER ON ALPINEGrowing to meet the needs of the community.

During its 44-year history Crusader Community Health has responded to the diverse healthcare needs of one in five area residents.

Over the years Crusader has witnessed a steady growth in patients. In 2015, Crusader helped 48,234 individual patients who had 205,934 health care visits.

Today, Crusader has five facilities at strategic compass points located throughout our service area.

The construction of a 21,000 square foot single story facility is projected to serve 4,500 clients within the first two years. The new facility will improve clinical efficiency and relieve patient demand at other Crusader facilities.

This space will allow for future expansion as demand for care increases. The development of the new clinic fits well with Crusader’s mission to provide healthcare access to the medically underserved in our community.

At the core of the decision to expand Crusader are three important facts:

1. Crusader is experiencing an un- precedented demand for care that warrants the construction of a new clinic in the center of Rockford.

2. Crusader has stretched the capacity offered by its current locations.

3. Facility expansion at current Crusader sites is not an option as these locations are land locked or not suitable for expansion.

Adding on to, or upgrading existing Crusader facilities is not possible due to land constraints. Engineering studies reveal it is nearly as costly to renovate

an existing structure as it is to build a new one. An efficient, single story

structure will enable Crusader on Alpine to meet

community medical needs well into the

future.

A high density of low income individuals, not served by health centers, has been

identified for zip code areas in the new site

location.

Crusader on Alpine will be built in the center of Rockford

at 1215 North Alpine...at the northeast corner of North Alpine and Guilford Roads.

The familiar, high-traffic location is on established city bus routes, has ample

parking and has been home to a medical clinic since 1972. People are accustomed to medical services on this familiar corner.

Because Crusader accepts most insurance, anyone can access medical care. In addition, a sliding discount scale is available for medical services.

This project will address need by offering preventive, acute and chronic disease management healthcare for:• Pediatrics• Family medicine• Internal (adult) medicine • Women’s health services

Special walk-in clinics for both children

and adults will be offered. The total cost of the new facility including land acquisition, construction and equipment is $7.1 million.

Crusader on Alpine is now scheduled to open early 2017.

Over 525 loyal Crusader fans filled the Giovanni ballroom to celebrate Crusader’s 43rd anniversary on Friday, October 16, 2015.

The theme TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK brought out the competitive team spirit and creativity as attendees dressed in

their favorite team costumes and colors.

In the height of the football season, even Chicago Bears and Green

Bay Packer fans put team rivalries aside for one evening to support Crusader Community Health. Many other professional, college and prep teams were well represented. There were awards for most creative team display.

Besides sports teams, many chose famous teams from Hollywood, TV

or history. Lucy Riccardo & Ethel Mertz showed up to the

delight of everyone.

After a delicious dinner, co-emcees Mimi Murphy and Mike Robinson entertained the crowd with their own special Team-TV Anchor humor.

Net proceeds from the event, totaling over $209,000, will support the new Crusader on Alpine facility. The new 21,000 square foot facility will address the primary healthcare needs of Crusader patients within the center of Rockford.

A raffle with great prizes, along with a silent and energetic live auction entertained guests and

helped support the new clinic.

Remember the need. Consider Crusader in your

Annual Giving and Estate Planning

Through Crusader Community Health Foundation, there are many ways to support Crusader’s mission of providing quality primary healthcare to the medically underserved in our region.

By naming Crusader Community Health as a beneficiary in a will or trust, insurance or retirement plan, or bank account, donors can be assured they have bestowed a legacy of caring for the health needs of the future.

Have you remembered Crusader in your will or living trust? You can do so by adding a simple codicil or amendment to your estate planning documents. The following is suggested wording, and remember, always consult your attorney when making any changes:

I/we give ______% of my/our estate.

- or -

I/we give a sum of $_______ to Crusader Community Health Foundation.

If there are Crusader programs that are special to you, adding these words to the above statement can provide for them “...to be used for the general purposes of the _______ program.”

The professional staff of the Foundation can assist you in identifying strategies to fulfill your estate planning needs. All inquiries are without obligation and held in strictest confidence. We also recommend that you consult your legal/financial advisor(s) and family members when planning your charitable gift in order to protect its value and tax benefits.
