The report from our CEO that follows highlights a number of reasons why we believe 2010 was a very successful year for the Foundation. These successes were due in part to the efforts of our extremely dedicated Foundation staff, but only made possible with the record-setting financial support of our donor group that continues to expand in both numbers and level of generosity.

All of us, I think, realize that public funding alone will no longer enable our hospitals to provide the level of healthcare that we seek for our communities. Available public dollars will simply not allow our hospitals to keep pace with the soaring costs of the state-of-the-art equipment that we all want to make sure is available to our family and friends when lives are at stake.

That is our mission . . . to bridge that gap with the support of all of you, whose donations have already meant so much to improving the equipment and resources at Regina hospitals that serve the people of southern Saskatchewan.

Our commitment at the Foundation is to make sure that every dollar our donors entrust us with continues to be applied for these purposes.

On behalf of the volunteer Board of Directors of the Foundation, I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you to all of our current donors, both large and small. Much has been done, but there remains even more to do. Your continued support and that of our new donors who will follow your lead remain ever vital.

Yours Truly,

Don WilsonVolunteer Chair, Board of DirectorsHospitals of Regina Foundation

MessageFrom the Board Chair

“Your continued support and that of our new donors

who will follow your lead remain ever vital.”

As I reflect on 2010, I think of so many accomplishments worth noting.

We celebrated the grand opening of the Rawlco Centre; we met our goal of raising $1.6 million to replace bedside monitors in Regina’s ICUs; and we saw the completion of the new Prostate Assessment Centre, to name just a few.

I am also pleased to report another major accomplishment in 2010: we raised over $11.3 million for our hospitals, and we owe this success entirely to our donors and their generosity. The role of the Hospitals of Regina Foundation is to unite people with a common purpose – to raise money to build a better, healthier community for us all.

This annual report not only provides a summary of our audited financial statements for 2010, but it also highlights some stories of the generous people who made a difference in others’ lives – and the families whose lives were changed because of it.

Malia, a baby who was born weighing just 1 lb. 12 oz. and survived, all because she had access to the latest technology, thanks to our donors. Oscar, a boy who had recovered from heart surgery shortly after his birth and inspired an annual event that will significantly improve pediatric care. Caron Hopfner and George Partyka of Partner Technologies Incorporated (PTI), who built a company that has given back to the community in a way that will transform cardiac care.

These are just some of the people you will meet in this report, and they are the kinds of people who define our community as one that cares about all of us who live in it.

Sincerely,

Judy Davis, CFREChief Executive OfficerHospitals of Regina Foundation

Inspiring Stories

For Michelle Montanini-Brown and her husband Travis Brown, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Regina General Hospital was their second home for three months.

Their daughter, Malia, had been born at just 25 weeks gestation, almost 15 weeks before her due date. Weighing just 1 lb. 12 oz. at birth, the tiny little girl had a tough road ahead.

“When Michelle delivered the baby, the NICU team rushed her to a station in the room,” says Travis. “Then we heard two little cries. That was the best feeling in the world.”

“It was hard, but we decided to be positive because that was the one thing we could control,” explains Michelle. “We focused on putting a smile on our faces and taking it one day at a time. We knew it would be a roller coaster, but the staff in the NICU was so amazing. They helped us so much.”

“Malia wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the equipment in the NICU,” Michelle says. “I know that it’s very expensive and that’s why it’s so important for people to donate. Without that equipment, we wouldn’t have our little girl. Twenty years ago she probably wouldn’t have survived, but now she’s healthy and amazing. She’s just a miracle.”

The 2010 Z99 Radiothon raised $360,946 for the NICU, and has generated nearly $3 million in total for babies in need.

We met Pat Cassell-Ogilvie when we began our spring campaign in support of bedside monitors for intensive care units. Pat had been stricken with mouth cancer, even though she never smoked a day in her life.

A short time after Pat’s surgery to remove the cancer, something went drastically wrong. She had a life-threatening, allergic reaction to the anesthetic and developed a blood clot in her lungs, meaning that she would need emergency abdominal surgery.

Pat was a patient at the Pasqua Hospital for more than seven weeks, and in unstable condition for much of that time. Given her unstable condition, medical staff relied on a bedside monitor for constant and accurate tracking of Pat’s vital signs. This equipment measured everything from her heart rate to her oxygen levels to her blood pressure.

Pat made a full recovery, which she and her husband, Don Ogilvie, attribute to both the medical staff and equipment available to her.

“If we didn’t have the bedside monitors,” Don stresses, “it’s hard to say what might have happened.”

Pat and Don2010 Annual Campaign

The 2010 Annual Campaign was part of a 2-year initiative beginning in 2009 and concluding at the end of 2010. The Foundation raised $1.6 million

to replace outdated bedside monitors in Regina’s intensive care units.

“We decided that we wanted to give back to the province that gave us the opportunity to grow and succeed,” say Caron Hopfner and George Partyka, co-founders of Regina-based Partner Technologies Incorporated (PTI), which supplies high-voltage transformers across North America and beyond.

What began as a small repair shop turned into a thriving company with over 100 employees and has been named one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies.

PTI donated $250,000 towards the purchase of a Mapping System for the Kinsmen Telemiracle Foundation Electrophysiology (EP) Lab. This marks the largest, single donation in PTI’s history. The Mapping System will significantly assist physicians in performing cardiac procedures.

“We know our investment will fulfill an urgent need in healthcare,” says Caron. “The state-of-the-art medical equipment will also help to attract and retain the best physicians, which benefits everyone in our community.”

The EP Lab will mean people suffering from irregular heart beats will no longer have to travel out of province for treatment, nor be put on expensive medications with potentially harmful side effects.

The O.S.C.A.R tournament is just one of many events that took place in 2010. The commitment of individuals, corporations and clubs to organize and support special events raised almost $1,000,000 for Regina’s hospitals.

Shortly after Oscar was born in 2008, he needed emergency surgery to repair an enlarged heart and close two of its holes.

“Oscar’s heart was trying to get blood flowing to his body, but the blood was building up at a narrowed spot, which could be potentially tragic,” recalls Oscar’s mom, Heidi Lindsay.

“The fear of the unknown was overwhelming,” adds Oscar’s dad, Jim Grundy. “To be honest, we didn’t know what the future held for our son.”

Oscar, however, fought hard and made a full recovery. Now, a happy, healthy boy, he receives annual check ups at Pediatric Outpatients, Regina General Hospital.

Heidi and Jim wanted to give back to Pediatric Outpatients in a big way, so they started an annual golf event in honour of their son. In 2010 they held their 2nd O.S.C.A.R. (Operation Someone Cares About Results) Charity Golf Classic, raising $20,000.

These funds will help improve the care environment and physical conditions of the unit.

“Our personal experience inspired us to do this,” says Heidi. “It’s not until you need healthcare services that you really start thinking about them.”

Our Hospital AuxiliariesUnwavering Commitment

The hospital auxiliaries have raised a combined total of over $5.3 million over the past 25 plus years.

Pasqua Hospital Auxiliary Regina General Hospital Auxiliary

Gift shop sales, used book sales, raffles and a number of other fundraisers translate into a big impact.

Giving over 36,000 volunteer hours in 2010, the Pasqua Hospital and Regina General Hospital auxiliaries raised more than $380,000 combined that year. These funds, supporting therapy services and numerous equipment needs, have made a significant difference in patient care for the two hospitals.

Thanks to the passion, dedication and hard work of auxiliary members, patients will have access to new sleeper chairs, blanket warmers, stretchers and many more patient comfort items.

“We volunteer because we want to give back to the community,” says Sheila Schlechter, President of the Pasqua Hospital Auxiliary. “We all know people, if not ourselves, who have needed to be in hospital. The equipment that is purchased from the funds we raise help to make patients’ stay more comfortable.”

“We are pleased to know our volunteer efforts generate support that reaches so many patients from various communities,” says Adeline Wuschenny, President of the Regina General Hospital Auxiliary. “It also makes the jobs of doctors, nurses and therapy workers that much easier. We are grateful for the skills, talents and time that our volunteers provide.”

Melissa Gerl’s son Ryder had the unique experience of being the first baby to receive care in the new Mother Baby Unit located within the long-awaited Rawlco Centre for Mother Baby Care. In fact Melissa stayed in both the new and old Mother Baby units and she could not believe the difference.

“It was like night and day. The new unit was so much brighter, larger and more welcoming,” says Melissa. “The biggest thing for me was having my own bathtub versus a shared one.”

The Mother Baby Unit now offers 36 private rooms with full bathrooms, baby baths and baby change areas. The Labour and Birth Unit includes eight patient rooms where women can deliver their babies in new birthing beds with leading-edge equipment close at hand. Donations also helped equip all 21 stations in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Dr. George Carson, Department Head of Obstetrics and Gynecology, who was involved in the planning of the Rawlco Centre for Mother Baby Care from the earliest stages, is excited about what the new centre will mean to families and staff.

“We’ve always had good people providing good care, and now we have an environment that’s as good as that care,” says Dr. Carson. “The new Rawlco Centre will also help us to recruit and retain top-notch staff and physicians.”

“As a first-time mom, I would like to thank every donor who contributed to this project,” Melissa says. “The centre felt like home. We almost didn’t want to leave.”

Renovations and construction to establish the new Prostate Assessment Centre (PAC) at the Pasqua Hospital were completed in 2010, thanks to donors who gave over $625,000. When you consider that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, the importance of the PAC is apparent.

For radiologist Dr. Ashok Verma, the PAC is a much-needed advancement in prostate cancer care for our community. “The new PAC will increase comfort and dignity for patients, which in turn will encourage men to come to the centre, get their prostate checked and receive care that is so critical to their health,” he says.

“One of our objectives is to detect any cancers in patients as early as possible, which results in more effective treatment,” adds Dr. Verma. “Donor support has helped us to advance the field of prostate cancer, increase efficiency and raise the overall profile of the PAC, which are absolutely key to attracting and retaining the most highly qualified physicians.”

Management has prepared the financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.The Foundation maintains systems of internal accounting and administrative controls of high quality, consistent with reasonable cost.

FinancialsAuditors' Report

To the Members,Hospitals of Regina Foundation Inc.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Hospitals of Regina Foundation Inc. which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2010, and the statements of operations and changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hospitals of Regina Foundation Inc. as at December 31, 2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
