Reflections from the President

Dear Foundation Friend,

2019 was an extraordinary year. More than 7,000 of us leveraged our contributions to grant our not-for-profit hospitals of Morton Plant Mease more than $10.4 million – the most in our history! This is a remarkable testament by you, our community of supporters, caring for the hospitals that care for us, our family, friends and neighbors.

As I reflect on our Foundation’s role in supporting our hospitals, I recall the work of motivational speaker and author, Simon Sinek. Mr. Sinek is best known for his Golden Circle model, popularizing the concept of defining an organization’s “Why, How, What.” He imagines a world in which most of us wake up inspired, feel safe at work and return home fulfilled at the end of the day.

Here’s how I envision this concept applying to our mission:

 Our “Why” is sustaining the health and wellness of our community.

 Our “How” is inspiring people (including you) to invest and give.

 Our “What” are the grants that impact the work of our hospitals.

At its core, the Philanthropy Report gives life to our Foundation’s "What" – specifically, the hospital’s nearly 40 programs and 20 capital projects funded through philanthropy. We invite you to discover “How” your gifts revolutionize patient care and advance medical technology. And “Why” our work invigorates a team of supporters and caregivers to improve and save lives, right here, throughout Pinellas and Pasco counties.

Thank you for being part of this record-breaking year. We remain steadfast in our commitment to continue sharing how your investments impact the future of health care.

Forever grateful,

Ernestine Morgan, CFREPresident and CEO, Morton Plant Mease Health Care Foundation

Celebrating the Extraordinary Life of Dr. George Morris A dear friend, colleague and longtime supporter of Morton Plant Mease Health Care Foundation, Dr. George Morris, age 84, recently passed away peacefully at his home. An orthopedic surgeon at Morton Plant Hospital from 1965 until his retirement in 2017, Dr. Morris served several terms as chair of our Board of Directors.

Nearest and dearest to his heart, though, was the Dr. George Morris Earn As You Learn nursing education program, which he established with help from a generous group of donors, to attract and retain the highest quality nursing personnel throughout our hospitals. This innovative program provides scholarships for our nursing students to relieve pressures created by the need to work full-time, go to school and provide for their families.

“I had the honor of going to his memorial service where there must have been more than 700 people there, and I thought, ‘Wow, that’s a lot,’” said Lisa Johnson, senior VP, BayCare chief nursing officer. “But as I thought about it, it’s actually a small group compared to the thousands of lives he touched ... all of those nurses will pay it forward. What a legacy.”

2019 Morton Plant Mease Health Care Foundation Board of Directors

Letter from Our Foundation Chair

Morton Plant Mease Health Care Foundation Supporters,

We’re fortunate to hear expressions of gratitude every day.

We hear them from patients who’ve had life-saving experiences, physicians whose research we’ve funded, nurses who’ve been awarded needed scholarships, team members who’ve received financial assistance after an unexpected emergency, and from you, our donors.

Community-based health care is all about being prepared and having resources readily available so that our neighbors continue to always receive quality care. Thanks to you, we celebrated an unprecedented year in 2019 – granting the hospitals of Morton Plant Mease the most in our Foundation’s history. Building on our remarkable work will be a challenge, but with the support of our community, it's a challenge I feel confident that we'll continue to uphold.

The entire board of directors is focused on meeting the needs of our hospitals and the health of the community we serve. We encourage you to remain involved as donors to our cause, and to bring your friends into the fold – letting them know not only about our superior physicians, nurses and health care services, but also the needs of a not-for-profit hospital.

I look forward to building on last year’s historical momentum as I work hand in hand with the leadership that oversee our hospitals, along with our top-level physicians, to ensure that highly dedicated health care is available to all of us.

Without you, none of this would be possible. The word “gratitude” doesn’t remotely convey how thankful the Foundation is for your support. It’s my hope that inside the pages of our Philanthropy Report, you’ll learn and appreciate how our generous family of donors, like you, help our hospitals provide the world-class service for which it’s known. Thank you.

With great appreciation,

Marion R. Rich | Chair, Morton Plant Mease Health Care Foundation

What Philanthropy Means to MeWe asked four supporters of Morton Plant Mease Health Care Foundation to weigh in on a single topic: Philanthropy.

Wanda Cruz-Knight, MD, MBA, CPEProgram Director, USF-MPM Family Medicine Residency Program, Turley Family Health Center

Philanthropy means giving of oneself to improve the human condition. Our work at the Turley Family Health Center is focused on helping to improve the health of patients who face challenges and ease the health care disparities that impact their well-being. Our programs offer assistance to underserved patients for vital medications and medical equipment

to manage their conditions. We provide testing to patients who don’t have access to specialty care. Delivering these types of resources to our vulnerable patients are philanthropic ways to improve the health of our community. The continued support of our partners and the selfless gift of time and energy by our team members at Turley define philanthropy and humanity at work.

Matt NovakPresident, Mease Hospitals

Philanthropy allows our hospitals the flexibility to provide our community with the most advanced technology available. Last year, philanthropy helped fund the new Radiosurgery System at Morton Plant Hospital, to ensure fast and accurate radiation treatments for tumors of the brain, breast, prostate, lungs and other areas of the body. Philanthropy also

made it possible for Mease Countryside Hospital to upgrade our cardiac catheterization labs with a new Image Guided Therapy Platform, allowing clinicians to provide potentially lifesaving treatment to more patients with certain types of heart disease. Cutting-edge projects like these speaks volumes about the impact that community philanthropy can leverage to take our community-based hospitals to the next level.

Benjamin C. Whited, DOBoard-Certified Emergency Medicine Physician

As one of the founding members of the Skip Cline Society, coupled with my decade-plus experience working in Morton Plant Hospital’s Cantonis ER-1, I’ve seen firsthand the impact philanthropy can make to ensure that our hospitals stay ahead of the curve with cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art facilities. But let’s not forget

the myriad of programs supported by philanthropy that can serve as a lifeline for so many people who lack access to quality care. Outreach programs with our community partners, like the Clearwater Free Clinic or Homeless Empowerment Program, have significantly helped the needs of the underserved living in our community to lead healthier lives and reduce nonemergent ER visits. It’s an honor to be part of a community that takes such pride in transforming health care through philanthropy.

D. Dewey MitchellCo-owner, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Properties Group

Philanthropy is an extension of my family, particularly my parents. We’re lifelong residents of Tampa Bay, specifically Pasco County, and my parents always believed that they should do everything possible to help the community that helped them. When my parents experienced health issues, particularly later in life, the care they

received was so extraordinary at the hospitals that my parents wanted to give back. I was so impressed with how well my mother's care team treated her. At first, I thought she was getting special care, but then I was moved as I saw how well the care team treated every patient, and I realized that this was the standard. My way of continuing my parents’ legacy of philanthropy is supporting Morton Plant Mease Health Care Foundation.

Women in Philanthropy hosted an educational physician panel luncheon at Ruth Eckerd Hall, featuring Dr. Payal Patel, Dr. Kamilia Nozile-Firth, Dr. Vanessa Lucarella, Dr. Chrisoula Kiriazis and Dr. Kate Allen.

Congratulations to the APG Electric team, who hit a hole in one, at our 30th Annual Golf Tournament, presented by Superior Uniform Group and benefiting the Dr. George Morris Earn As You Learn program.

Skip Cline Society hosted their 10th Annual Seawall Rodeo and Inshore Fishing Tournament at Island Way Grill and Carlouel Yacht Club to help raise funds for pediatric programs at the hospitals of Morton Plant Mease.

Men’s Giving Circle was joined by Dr. David Bernstein, Dr. Webb McCanse and Dr. Dan Sodano for “A Gentleman’s Guide to Healthy Living at Any Age,” moderated by Dr. Mahesh Amin at Bon Appetit.

Foundation Benefactors Doug and Sally Bailey joined their first class of scholarship recipients for a celebratory reception at the Sally L. Bailey Nursing Education Center on the Mease Dunedin Hospital campus.

More than 200 of our Morton Plant North Bay Hospital community of supporters joined us “Under the Sea” at Spartan Manor in New Port Richey to raise funds for West Pasco’s only not-for-profit hospital.

Technology and cybersecurity expert Julian Waits shared his expertise on how to protect your organization at our Corporate Associates Speaker Breakfast held in the Dimmitt Family Auditorium at Morton Plant Hospital.

Through their annual holiday toy drive, members of the Skip Cline Society collected more than 200 toys and games to distribute to pediatric patients at the hospitals of Morton Plant Mease.

The Planters Annual Fall Luncheon, with special guest speaker Lee Woodruff, featured the presentation of the Lois Odence Nursing Scholarship to 15 Morton Plant Mease nursing students.

Connected with Our CommunityPhilanthropy is based on voluntary action for the public good. Gifts from individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations have a profound impact on the ability of our Foundation to carry out their mission. We appreciate the generosity of all community members who have helped support our fund-raising events over the past year. These events present an opportunity to not only raise money but bring greater awareness to the programs we support.

Donor Bill of Rights

Led by benefactors Larry and Ernestine Morgan, Kate Tiedemann and Ellen Cotton, 1,200 individuals came together to collectively raise more than $7 million to ensure that Morgan Heart Hospital at Morton Plant will continue to remain at the cutting edge of care as it enters its second decade of nationally recognized cardiovascular care.

The overwhelming success of the Morgan Heart Hospital Community Challenge granted the hospital the capital needed to complete major construction upgrades and enhancements to its electrophysiology and cardiac catheterization labs. The final phase of the project will help build a second hybrid operating suite to perform lifesaving procedures for those with valve disorders, including the transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure (TAVR).

A testament to its high standards of quality, Morton Plant Hospital was the first hospital in Tampa Bay chosen to offer the TAVR procedure for patients with severe aortic stenosis, and the team has completed more than 1,000 TAVR procedures. Many patients who previously weren’t eligible candidates for surgery can now receive relief thanks to this monumental procedure.

Your support has been critical in upgrading the capabilities at Morgan Heart Hospital and enhancing the multidisciplinary team of board-certified physicians and caregivers to allow them to continue delivering exceptional care. We’re grateful to all our community members who stepped up to support this challenge, helping us to significantly exceed the campaign goal.
