NOW, WITH CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS, THE CENTER IS TESTING A POTENTIALLY SAFER AND MORE EFFECTIVE FORMULATION OF THE MEDICINE. WITH FURTHER FUNDING, WE ARE EXPANDING OUR WORK WITH INTRANASAL INSULIN TO OTHER NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS. WE HAVE RAISED FUNDS FOR A CLINICAL STUDY INVOLVING FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA (FTD), THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF YOUNG ONSET DEMENTIA IN PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 60. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS FOR FTD. WE ALSO EXPANDED OUR INTRANASAL INSULIN TRIALS TO INCLUDE PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME (DS), SINCE DEMENTIA IS VERY COMMON IN PEOPLE WITH DS. NO OTHER ORGANIZATION IS CONDUCTING THIS TYPE OF TRIAL WITH THIS POPULATION. OUR SMALL STUDY SHOWED THAT THERE WERE NO SAFETY ISSUES AND THAT PARTICIPANTS TOLERATED THE TREATMENT WELL. WE HAVE SUBMITTED A MANUSCRIPT FOR PUBLICATION THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW. WE ARE APPLYING INTRANASAL INSULIN TO ANIMAL MODELS OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND SPINAL CORD INJURY TO IDENTIFY CORRECT DOSES AND TREATMENT FREQUENCIES. WE RECEIVED DONATIONS TO CONDUCT A PILOT STUDY ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TREATMENT IN SUPPORTING THE MEMORY FUNCTION OF PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE, AND THE STUDY WILL START RECRUITING PATIENTS IN EARLY 2020. WE ALSO RECEIVED A GIFT TO TEST INTRANASAL INSULIN IN PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE LEWY BODY DEMENTIA, AND OUR TEAM IS DESIGNING A STUDY. THE CENTER COLLABORATED WITH PARK NICOLLET'S INTERNATIONAL DIABETES CENTER TO RECEIVE A NONPROFIT RESEARCH GRANT FROM JDRF IN ORDER TO TEST INTRANASAL INSULIN AS A TREATMENT FOR PEOPLE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES WHO SUFFER HYPO-GLYCEMIC UNAWARENESS. THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL CONDITION OCCURS WHEN PEOPLE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES EXPERIENCE LOW BLOOD SUGAR BUT THEIR BRAIN DOES NOT DETECT IT. WITH ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS, WE WANT TO TEST WHETHER INTRANASAL INSULIN CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF ALZHEIMER'S AMONG PEOPLE WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES. SUCH INDIVIDUALS DEVELOP ALZHEIMER'S AT TWICE THE RATE OF PEOPLE WITHOUT TYPE 2 DIABETES. GENERAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CENTER HAVE BEEN USED TO FURTHER THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTRANASAL DEFEROXAMINE (DFO) AS A TREATMENT FOR ALZHEIMER'S AND OTHER DISORDERS. OUR RESEARCH WITH ANIMAL MODELS OF ALZHEIMER'S AND PARKINSON'S HAVE SHOWN THAT DFO CAN BE EFFECTIVELY DELIVERED THROUGH THE NOSE WITH SUBSEQUENT IMPROVEMENTS TO MEMORY AND MOTOR FUNCTION AND MINIMAL SIDE EFFECTS. WE ARE CURRENTLY FINISHING UP THE PRE-CLINICAL SAFETY STUDIES THAT THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION REQUIRES IN ORDER TO APPROVE HUMAN CLINICAL TRIALS. FINDING WAYS TO IDENTIFY, TREAT, AND PREVENT ALZHEIMER'S SYMPTOMS- IN 2019, WE RECEIVED $100,000 IN CONTRIBUTIONS TO DEVELOP A NEW NEUROWELL MODEL OF CARE FOR DEMENTIA. FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA WANT TO LIVE FREE AND INDEPENDENT LIVES; REMAIN AT HOME; ENJOY STRONG, POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS; AND CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE MEANING AND PURPOSE IN THEIR LIVES. YET THERE IS NO OTHER PROGRAM IN MINNESOTA AND ONLY A HANDFUL IN THE COUNTRY THAT PROVIDE "WRAPAROUND CARE" FOR THESE PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES TO MAKE THESE GOALS POSSIBLE. BY PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE BRAIN HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMMING WITHIN THE CENTER, PATIENTS AND FAMILIES WILL EXPERIENCE MORE EQUITABLE CARE, BETTER CONNECTIONS TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES, REDUCED STRESS AND DEPRESSION AS CAREGIVERS, IMPROVED CAREGIVER RESILIENCE AND OVERALL IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY OF LIFE. IN 2018 WE RECEIVED A FOUR-YEAR, $1.5 MILLION COMMITMENT FROM THE MERCK FOUNDATION TO CREATE AND MANAGE A NEW CARE ECOSYSTEM PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM IS EXTENDING THE REACH OF DEMENTIA SPECIALISTS VIA PHONE- AND WEB-BASED CARE TO PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, ESPECIALLY RURAL-DWELLING AND HOMEBOUND POPULATIONS THAT TOO OFTEN LACK ROBUST CHRONIC CARE MANAGEMENT. AS PART OF THE PROGRAM, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO TO DEVELOP CARE ECOSYSTEM TRAINING MATERIALS THAT CAN BE USED BY HEALTH SYSTEMS TO LAUNCH THE PROGRAM, IMPLEMENT THE CARE ECOSYSTEM AT THE CENTER FOR MEMORY AND AGING USING THIS TRAINING, AND WORK TO SUSTAIN THE PROGRAM AFTER THE GRANT ENDS. ULTIMATELY, WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE HEALTH SYSTEMS TO USE THE TRAINING WE DEVELOP AND THE LEARNINGS FROM OUR PROGRAM TO MITIGATE THE SUBSTANTIAL BURDENS EXPERIENCED BY PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA AND THEIR FAMILIES. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - EXEMPT PURPOSE AND ACHIEVEMENTS CONTRIBUTIONS HELPED US DEVELOP A PILOT EXERCISE PROGRAM CALLED MUSCLE2MIND. THE EVIDENCE IS STRONG THAT COGNITION IMPROVES OVER TIME IF PEOPLE DO AEROBIC EXERCISE, BUT MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO SHOW WHETHER STRUCTURED EXERCISE AND STRENGTH TRAINING CAN DELAY THE EFFECTS OF DEMENTIA THAT IS ALREADY IN PROGRESS. AS PART OF MUSCLE2MIND, INDIVIDUALS WITH DEMENTIA AND THEIR CAREGIVERS MEET WITH OUR EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST TO PARTICIPATE IN A STRUCTURED EXERCISE PROGRAM. IT CAN BE DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA TO TRACK THEIR EXERCISE REGIMEN, SO MUSCLE2MIND USES A NEW STRENGTH-TRAINING MACHINE THAT COUNTS EXERCISE REPETITIONS, EASILY ADJUSTS DIFFICULTY LEVELS AND RECORDS EACH PATIENT'S PROGRESS OVER TIME. CONTRIBUTIONS FUND SCHOLARSHIPS FOR PARTICIPANTS. EVENTUALLY WE WANT TO TURN THIS EXERCISE PROGRAM INTO A LARGE RESEARCH STUDY THAT COMPARES THE OUTCOMES OF PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA WHO PARTICIPATE IN AN EXERCISE PROGRAM WITH OTHERS WHO DO NOT. DONATIONS HAVE ALLOWED US TO FURTHER STUDY THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MINDFULNESS-BASED STRESS REDUCTION TECHNIQUES IN DEMENTIA CARE. IN THE PAST WE PILOTED A COURSE THAT ENCOURAGED NEWLY-DIAGNOSED ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS TO USE A MODIFIED VERSION OF SUCH TECHNIQUES TO HELP REDUCE THE STRESS THAT IS SO COMMON WITH A DEMENTIA DIAGNOSIS AND IMPROVE THEIR MENTAL HEALTH. GIVEN THIS STUDY'S SUCCESS, WE IMPLEMENTED AN EIGHT-WEEK PROGRAM CALLED MINDFULNESS-BASED DEMENTIA CARE (MBDC), WHICH HELPS CAREGIVERS FIND JOY IN THEIR LIVES AND REDUCE THEIR STRESS. ONLY A FEW OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY CONDUCT SIMILAR PROGRAMS. MBDC UNIQUELY INCLUDES EDUCATION ABOUT DEMENTIA. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT SUCH EDUCATION CAN INCREASE THE STRESS OF CAREGIVERS, SO MBDC GIVES PARTICIPANTS THE TOOLS TO DEAL WITH THAT STRESS. MBDC WAS OFFERED TWICE IN 2019, AND DONATIONS ARE USED TO FUND THE PROGRAM AND OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS TO HELP PARTICIPANTS AFFORD THE MINIMAL FEE OF $350. OVER A THREE-YEAR PERIOD, WE WORKED WITH RESIDENTS OF A LOCAL ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY TO TEST THE EFFECTS OF AROMATHERAPY ON THE SLEEP DISRUPTION AND AGITATION LEVEL OF ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS. THIS WORK WAS MADE POSSIBLE WITH THE HELP OF DONATIONS. DISRUPTION OF SLEEP AND AN INCREASED LEVEL OF AGITATION ARE COMMON SYMPTOMS OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND TWO OF THE MOST COMMON REASONS PEOPLE WITH MEMORY LOSS ARE PLACED INTO SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES. IT WAS BELIEVED THAT AROMATHERAPY WOULD HELP PATIENTS SLEEP BETTER, RELAX AND STAY IN THEIR HOMES LONGER. RESULTS OF OUR STUDY WERE POSITIVE: ON AVERAGE, PEOPLE WHO RECEIVED LAVENDER SLEPT 42 MINUTES MORE PER NIGHT AND HAD GREATER SLEEP EFFICIENCY THAN THOSE WHO RECEIVED THE PLACEBO. TO FURTHER TEST THIS GOAL, WE DEVELOPED A TOOLKIT TO HELP CAREGIVERS ADMINISTER AROMATHERAPY TO THEIR LOVED ONES AT HOME. WE ARE RECRUITING PARTICIPANTS FOR A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF THE PROGRAM TO SEE IF PEOPLE USE THE STUDY'S AROMATHERAPY PATCH, IF THE PATCH STAYS ON THE PARTICIPANT AND IF THEY CONSISTENTLY WEAR THE MONITORING EQUIPMENT TO MEASURE SLEEP. WE ARE ALSO STUDYING THE BENEFITS OF MUSIC IN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WITH MEMORY LOSS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS. THE CHORD STUDY IS FOLLOWING MEMBERS OF THE GIVING VOICE CHOIR IN ST. PAUL, WHICH INCLUDES INDIVIDUALS WHO EXPERIENCE MEMORY LOSS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS. WE ARE MEASURING THE BENEFITS OF MUSIC IN THE LIVES OF THESE INDIVIDUALS IN THE HOPE THAT SUCH ACTIVITIES SPREAD NATIONALLY. IN 2018 WE EXPANDED THE STUDY, SURVEYING PARTICIPANTS OF A FEW SIMILAR CHOIRS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. DONATIONS TO THE CENTER HELPED FUND THE MINNESOTA MEMORY PROJECT, AN ONGOING REGISTRY THAT FOLLOWS ADULTS WITH AND WITHOUT DIAGNOSED MEMORY LOSS OVER A SPAN OF TEN YEARS TO COLLECT INFORMATION ON HOW MEMORY CHANGES WITH AGING. THIS INFORMATION WILL HELP PHYSICIANS DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN MEMORY LOSS THAT IS COMMON WITH AGING AND SYMPTOMS THAT MAY INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF DEMENTIA. THE PROJECT ALSO COLLECTS INFORMATION FROM CAREGIVERS ABOUT THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH EFFECTS RELATED TO CARING FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH MEMORY LOSS. IN ALL, 654 COMMUNITY MEMBERS JOINED THE MINNESOTA MEMORY PROJECT AND THE FIRST PARTICIPANTS HAVE COMPLETED THEIR TENTH ANNUAL ASSESSMENT. WE ARE WORKING ON OUR FIRST MANUSCRIPT REGARDING THE RESULTS OF THE PROJECT, WHICH SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN FIVE YEARS. NEUROSURGERY GIFTS FROM A GRATEFUL PATIENT IN HONOR OF ASIF MAKNOJIA, MD, A HEALTHPARTNERS NEUROSURGEON, WERE USED TO CREATE A NEW FUND THAT SUPPORTS THE DEPARTMENT OF NEUROSURGERY WITH A FIRST PREFERENCE FOR THE WORK OF DR. MAKNOJIA. CONTRIBUTIONS WILL INCREASE THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH, EDUCATION AND CARE THAT CAN BE PROVIDED TO PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. THE FOUNDATION RAISED $27,500 FOR THE FUND IN 2019. CANCER CARE WITH THE HELP OF CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FOUNDATION, THE REGIONS CANCER CARE CENTER (THE CANCER CENTER) PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF SERVICES TO PREVENT, DIAGNOSE AND TREAT CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS. THE CANCER CENTER ALSO HELPS PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES NAVIGATE CANCER, FROM BEFORE A DIAGNOSIS IS MADE TO AFTER TREATMENT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED. THE CANCER CENTER'S STAFF MEMBERS DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO COMFORT PATIENTS AND VISITORS AND MAKE THEIR CARE CONVENIENT. THE FINANCIAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR SUCH HOLISTIC CARE ONLY GOES SO FAR. REGIONS HOSPITAL IS THE EAST METRO'S SAFETY-NET HOSPITAL, SO THE CANCER CENTER ALSO SEES A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF UNINSURED PATIENTS AND PATIENTS INSURED VIA GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAN OTHER LOCAL PROVIDERS, AND THIS LEADS TO HIGHER LEVELS OF CHARITY CARE. THIS MAKES THE CANCER CENTER HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO FUND SPECIAL PROGRAMMING SUCH AS MEDICAL RESEARCH, NURSE NAVIGATION, BASIC NEEDS ASSISTANCE, INTEGRATIVE THERAPIES, PATIENT EDUCATION, THE CONTINUING EDUCATION OF STAFF, SUPPORT GROUPS, A CANCER LIBRARY AND MORE. IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $1,269,432 TO SUPPORT THE CANCER CENTER. THE FOLLOWING ARE HIGHLIGHTS OF THESE FUNDRAISING EFFORTS. CANCER RESEARCH WHEN CANCER STRIKES, PATIENTS NEED THE HOPE THAT COMES WITH ACCESS TO THE MOST ADVANCED TREATMENTS. MANY WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE LATEST CLINICAL TRIALS. WE ARE A LEADING PROVIDER OF CANCER RESEARCH, AND WITH HELP FROM DONATIONS, WE ARE ACCELERATING THE PROGRAM WITH A PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON EARLY-STAGE RESEARCH. THIS EXPANSION HAS MADE US A REGIONAL RESOURCE FOR THE LATEST CANCER RESEARCH AND GIVES LOCAL RESIDENTS GREATER ACCESS TO THE LATEST BREAKTHROUGH THERAPIES. EASIER ACCESS TO CLINICAL TRIALS ALLOWS PATIENTS TO FOCUS LESS ON THE DETAILS OF THEIR TREATMENT AND MORE ON THEIR DAILY LIVES. THIS ACCESS IS ESPECIALLY VALUABLE TO THE MANY LOW-INCOME PATIENTS WE SERVE, SINCE THEY OFTEN DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO ACCESS TRIALS ELSEWHERE YET DESERVE THE SAME ACCESS TO NEW TREATMENTS. IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $358,830 SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CANCER RESEARCH PROGRAM. CANCER ENDOWMENT FUND A GRATEFUL PATIENT CONTRIBUTED $50,678 TO THE FOUNDATION IN 2019 TO ESTABLISH THIS ENDOWMENT, WHICH WILL SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE CANCER CARE CENTER. DONORS ALSO MADE ESTATE COMMITMENTS WITH AN ESTIMATED VALUE OF $712,500 TO THE FUND IN 2019. HARDSHIP ASSISTANCE TREATMENT FOR CANCER CAN INTRODUCE CONSIDERABLE EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL STRESS INTO THE LIVES OF PATIENTS. WITH THE SUPPORT OF DONATIONS TO THE FOUNDATION, WE PROVIDE BASIC NEEDS ASSISTANCE TO THOSE WHO EXPERIENCE TEMPORARY FINANCIAL NEEDS WHILE UNDERGOING CANCER TREATMENT. IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED $19,970 SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PURPOSE AND ALSO USES SOME GENERAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CANCER CENTER TO PROVIDE BASIC NEEDS ASSISTANCE. THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL $17,067 FROM THE SAINT PAUL & MINNESOTA FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT PATIENTS WHO ARE UNDERGOING TREATMENT AND LIVE IN THE TWIN CITIES EAST METRO AREA. NURSE NAVIGATION CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES FACE THE CHALLENGE OF THEIR LIVES, YET THEY MUST OFTEN NAVIGATE A COMPLEX SYSTEM OF CARE, SPECIALISTS AND DECISIONS. A NURSE NAVIGATOR WORKS WITH PATIENTS FROM THE MOMENT A DIAGNOSIS IS SUSPECTED, HELPING ELIMINATE BARRIERS THAT MAY OTHERWISE PREVENT THEM FROM GETTING THE RIGHT CARE AT THE RIGHT TIME. IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED $10,000 TO HELP FUND A 0.8 FTE NURSE NAVIGATOR IN THE CENTER. THE NURSE NAVIGATOR FOCUSES ON PATIENTS WITH LUNG AND BRAIN CANCER. THESE CANCERS HAVE A HIGH PREVALENCE AMONG CANCERS IN THE TWIN CITIES, ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A HEAVY WEIGHT OF SYMPTOMS AND REQUIRE A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO CARE. THE NAVIGATOR ALSO ASSISTS PATIENTS WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF SARCOMA. THIS IS NOT A FEE-FOR-SERVICE POSITION, SO IT REQUIRES ALTERNATE FUNDING SOURCES SUCH AS PHILANTHROPY. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - EXEMPT PURPOSE AND ACHIEVEMENTS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TOGETHER, REGIONS AND HPMG'S MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ARE THE LEADING PROVIDERS OF COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL AND CHEMICAL HEALTH SERVICES IN THE TWIN CITIES EAST METRO AND WESTERN WISCONSIN. IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $713,951 TO SUPPORT VARIOUS MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVES. THE FOLLOWING ARE HIGHLIGHTS OF THESE FUNDRAISING EFFORTS. GROWING THROUGH GRIEF FOR 22 YEARS, GROWING THROUGH GRIEF HAS WORKED WITH TWIN CITIES SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES TO HELP GRIEVING CHILDREN FIND HOPE. THE UNIQUE PARK NICOLLET PROGRAM PROVIDES PEER SUPPORT GROUPS, ONE-ON-ONE COUNSELING AND DEATH-RELATED CRISIS SUPPORT, ALL AT NO COST TO STUDENTS OR THEIR FAMILIES. IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $328,872 FROM THE BENTSON FOUNDATION TO ALLOW GROWING THROUGH GRIEF TO EXPAND TO SOUTH WASHINGTON COUNTY SCHOOLS. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SOUGHT ADDITIONAL WAYS TO SUPPORT STUDENTS AFTER SEVERAL DEATHS IN THE COMMUNITY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAM THE FOUNDATION ADMINISTERS STATE GOVERNMENT GRANTS TO SUPPORT THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING PEOPLE, INCLUDING INDIVIDUAL, COUPLE, GROUP, AND FAMILY THERAPY; CONSULTATION TO OTHER PROVIDERS; AND A COMMUNITY WORKSHOP. THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAM IS OPERATED BY REGIONS AND THE FOUNDATION ADMINISTERED GOVERNMENT GRANTS WORTH $108,450 IN 2019. HOVANDER FAMILY MENTAL HEALTH ENDOWMENT THE ENDOWMENT SUPPORTS CLIENTS OF HOVANDER HOUSE, A SHORT-TERM RESIDENTIAL LIVING FACILITY FOR PATIENTS WHO EXPERIENCE MENTAL ILLNESS AND WHO ARE CLINICALLY AND PHYSICALLY STABLE BUT NEED FURTHER SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE BEFORE RETURNING TO THEIR COMMUNITY. IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED $101,325 TO ESTABLISH THE ENDOWMENT. THE LEE AND PENNY ANDERSON HEROCARE PROGRAM FOR VETERANS MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY EXPERIENCE SITUATIONS DURING THEIR SERVICE THAT CIVILIANS CANNOT IMAGINE, AND MANY SUFFER PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WOUNDS YEARS AFTER THEIR MILITARY SERVICE HAS ENDED. YET HISTORICALLY OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN SET UP TO BEST CARE FOR THESE HEROES. HEROCARE OFFERS THE BEST, MILITARY-INFORMED CARE TO VETERANS, MILITARY MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. THE PROGRAM ALSO ENSURES THEY RECEIVE THE ONGOING SERVICES NEEDED TO STABILIZE THEIR LIVES AND THRIVE. THIS INCLUDES THE SERVICES OF THE VA. IN 2019, HEROCARE SERVED 800 PATIENTS, AND THE FOUNDATION RAISED $50,345 IN SUPPORT OF THE PROGRAM. MAKE IT OK TO FIGHT THE STIGMA RELATED TO MENTAL ILLNESSES, HEALTHPARTNERS CREATED MAKE IT OK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON MENTAL ILLNESS (NAMI) MINNESOTA, TWIN CITIES PUBLIC TELEVISION AND 30 OTHER LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS. TOGETHER, WE ARE PROMOTING HEALTHY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESSES AND ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO SEEK THE HELP THEY NEED AND DESERVE. MAKE IT OK LAUNCHED ITS FIRST ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN IN 2013, BUT AT HEART IT'S A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT THAT USES TRAINED "AMBASSADORS" TO PROMOTE ITS MESSAGE IN LOCAL BUSINESSES, ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES ACROSS MINNESOTA AND BEYOND. THE CAMPAIGN ALSO SPONSORS "THE HILARIOUS WORLD OF DEPRESSION," AN AWARD-WINNING PODCAST PRODUCED BY AMERICAN PUBLIC MEDIA. MAKE IT OK IS FUNDED WITH CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FOUNDATION, WHICH RECEIVED $17,932 ON ITS BEHALF IN 2019. POWERUP HEALTHPARTNERS LAUNCHED POWERUP IN 2013 TO MAKE EATING AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY EASY, FUN AND POPULAR SO KIDS CAN GROW UP HEALTHY. OUR WORK WITH HUNDREDS OF PARTNERS ACROSS THE REGION HAS RESULTED IN A HIGH LEVEL OF COMMUNITY AND SCHOOL ENGAGEMENT, STRONGER SCHOOL WELLNESS POLICIES AND PRACTICES; MORE FREE AND LOW-COST OPTIONS FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, INCLUDING OPEN GYMS; PARTNERSHIPS WITH STATE AND LOCAL PARKS; TRANSFORMED FOOD PANTRIES, CAFETERIAS AND CONCESSIONS; AND COMMUNITY MOMENTUM TO CREATE CHANGE. COMMUNITY-WIDE SURVEYS OF RESIDENT FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN HAS SHOWN STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVELS AMONG YOUTH OVER TIME IN TARGETED COMMUNITIES. A REVIEW OF BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) DATA FOR CHILDREN 6-10 YEARS OLD SHOWED A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT AND POSITIVE DOWNWARD TREND IN THE BMI'S OF CHILDREN IN SPECIFIC POWERUP COMMUNITIES COMPARED TO OTHER PATIENTS IN THE BROADER CARE SYSTEM. THESE ARE EXCITING RESULTS, SINCE PAST INITIATIVES NATIONWIDE HAVE SHOWN THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO DEMONSTRATE COMMUNITY-LEVEL CHANGE IN BEHAVIORS AND HEALTH OUTCOMES. TO DEEPEN THE POWERUP STRATEGY WITH OLDER STUDENTS, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $250,000 IN 2019 TO PILOT AN EXPANDED POWERUP STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAM, WHICH ENCOURAGES MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO BECOME CHAMPIONS FOR HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES AMONG THEIR PEERS AND COMMUNITIES. THESE YOUNG ROLE MODELS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT PROJECTS THAT MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEIR FELLOW STUDENTS TO ENJOY BETTER EATING AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. WHILE POWERUP PROVIDES SUPPORT AND OVERSIGHT FOR THE PROJECTS, THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAMS. THE POWERUP STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAM HAS RECRUITED AND RETAINED 14 YOUTH LEADERS FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS WHO ARE HIGHLY ENGAGED IN DEVELOPING PROGRAMS FOR THEIR PEERS. THE TEENS ALSO PROVIDE CONSULTATION TO OTHER YOUTH PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS AND HAVE SHARED THEIR INSIGHTS AT REGIONAL CONFERENCES. CHRONIC ILLNESS ENDOWMENT FUND THIS FUND WAS ESTABLISHED BY A GRATEFUL PATIENT WHO WANTS TO ASSIST OTHERS WHO CANNOT AFFORD OR ACCESS THE CARE AND MEDICATIONS THEY NEED TO LIVE WELL WITH CHRONIC ILLNESSES. THE DONOR WAS INSPIRED TO GIVE AFTER WITNESSING HOW EVERY PATIENT OF REGIONS HOSPITAL IS TREATED WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT AND RECEIVES THE SAME LEVEL OF CARE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. DONORS MADE ESTATE COMMITMENTS WITH AN ESTIMATED VALUE OF $237,500 TO THE FUND IN 2019. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - EXEMPT PURPOSE AND ACHIEVEMENTS HEALTHPARTNERS INSTITUTE HEALTHPARTNERS INSTITUTE (INSTITUTE) IS A 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION WITHIN HEALTHPARTNERS AND IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF HEALTHPARTNERS MEMBERS, PATIENTS AND THE COMMUNITY. THE INSTITUTE USES MEDICAL RESEARCH AND CONTINUING EDUCATION TO DELIVER OUTSTANDING HEALTH AND EXPERIENCE AND GREATER AFFORDABILITY. THE FOUNDATION RAISED $211,959 FOR THE INSTITUTE'S PROGRAMS IN 2019. THIS INCLUDED $205,693 AS PART OF THE ONE CAMPAIGN, THE ANNUAL EMPLOYEE GIVING PROGRAM OF REGIONS AND HEALTHPARTNERS. THESE FUNDS DO NOT INCLUDE MONEY THE FOUNDATION RAISED FOR CANCER AND NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH, WHICH ARE ALSO UNDER THE PURVIEW OF HEALTHPARTNERS INSTITUTE. HEALTHPARTNERS HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE HEALTHPARTNERS HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE SUPPORTS PATIENTS AND THEIR LOVED ONES WHO ARE DEALING WITH SERIOUS OR LIFE-LIMITING ILLNESSES. IT ALSO HELPS FAMILY MEMBERS THROUGH THE GRIEVING PROCESS AFTER THEIR LOVED ONES DIE. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PROGRAM FUND SERVICES NOT COVERED BY REIMBURSEMENT, INCLUDING MASSAGE AND MUSIC THERAPY, PROGRAM SUPPLIES, AND THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF STAFF. IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION SECURED $139,682 FOR THE PROGRAM. LITTLE MOMENTS COUNT WE WANT ALL MINNESOTANS TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF READING, TALKING, SINGING AND PLAYING WITH BABIES IN THE FIRST THOUSAND DAYS OF LIFE AND THE PROFOUND IMPACT THESE ACTIVITIES CAN HAVE ON THEIR HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT. LITTLE MOMENTS COUNT IS A COMMUNITY COLLABORATION THAT INCLUDES PARTNERS ACROSS THE STATE, MEDIA, BUSINESS AND HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE PARENTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN. THE CAMPAIGN FEATURES COMMUNITY AWARENESS EFFORTS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY BRAIN DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT ALL STAKEHOLDERS CAN DO, EVEN IN LITTLE MOMENTS, TO SUPPORT YOUNG CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE FOUNDATION RAISED $125,000 IN 2019 TO HELP FUND A PROPOSED FIVE-YEAR INITIATIVE. A VERY SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN LAUNCH IN NOVEMBER DREW NEARLY 600 PEOPLE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT LITTLE MOMENTS COUNT. A BETTER WAY TO TREAT PAIN AND OPIOIDS ABOUT 50,000 DEATHS NATIONALLY ARE CAUSED BY OPIOID OVERDOSES EACH YEAR. THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC HAS BEEN FUELED BY AN INCREASE IN THE PRESCRIPTION OF PAIN MEDICATIONS OVER THE LAST FEW DECADES. EIGHTY PERCENT OF NEW HEROIN USERS ARE INTRODUCED TO OPIOIDS THROUGH PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS. IN SOME CASES THEY RECEIVE THE PRESCRIPTIONS THEMSELVES; IN OTHERS, ANOTHER PERSON'S UNUSED PILLS FALL INTO THEIR HANDS. REGIONS HOSPITAL AND HEALTHPARTNERS ARE CHAMPIONS OF A BETTER WAY TO TREAT PAIN AND OPIOID ADDICTION. WITH THE HELP OF CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FOUNDATION, WE ARE EXPANDING THE PROGRAM TO COUNTERACT THE GROWING EPIDEMIC IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE WILL CONTINUE GETTING PILLS OUT OF CIRCULATION TO AVOID ABUSE. WE WILL INVEST IN DIFFERENT STRATEGIES FOR TREATING PAIN WHILE HELPING PATIENTS TRANSITION OFF OF THE LONG-TERM USE OF OPIOIDS. WE WILL SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE AWARENESS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF OPIOIDS AND PROVIDE THE EDUCATION AND TOOLS PEOPLE NEED TO SEEK TREATMENT FOR ADDICTION. IN THESE WAYS, WE CAN HELP PEOPLE RECAPTURE AND EVEN SAVE THEIR LIVES. THE FOUNDATION RAISED $100,993 FOR THE PAIN AND OPIOIDS PROGRAM IN 2019. BURN CENTER THE REGIONS HOSPITAL BURN CENTER SERVES PATIENTS FROM ACROSS THE MIDWEST, PROVIDING CARE AND SPECIALIZED TREATMENT FOR THERMAL, ELECTRICAL, AND CHEMICAL BURNS AS WELL AS FROSTBITE AND COLD INJURIES. THE BURN CENTER IS THE MOST COMPLETE AND EXTENSIVE FACILITY OF ITS KIND IN THE UPPER MIDWEST AND IS VERIFIED BY THE COMMITTEE ON TRAUMA OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS AND THE AMERICAN BURN ASSOCIATION. IT HAS THE LATEST EQUIPMENT, TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED PRIVATE ROOMS, SPECIALLY DESIGNED BATHTUBS, AND A LARGE REHABILITATION DEPARTMENT. IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $87,489 TO SUPPORT BURN CENTER PROGRAMS. THIS INCLUDED $42,500 FROM THE BURN AID FOUNDATION, WHICH ENCOMPASSED PROCEEDS FROM THE 23ND ANNUAL BURNAID GOLF CLASSIC, SPONSORED AND PRODUCED BY THE NATIONAL FIRE SPRINKLER ASSOCIATION, MINNESOTA CHAPTER. WISHING WELL FUNDED BY THE ONE CAMPAIGN ANNUAL EMPLOYEE GIVING PROGRAM, WISHING WELL ASSISTS PATIENTS WHO HAVE IMMEDIATE HARDSHIP NEEDS. MOST ASSISTANCE IS GIVEN IN THE FORM OF BUS TOKENS AND CAB VOUCHERS TO HELP PATIENTS GET TO AND FROM REGIONS, BUT WISHING WELL ALSO HELPS PATIENTS PURCHASE FOOD, TEMPORARY LODGING, AND PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $76,993 FOR WISHING WELL. REACH OUT AND READ IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $49,474 FOR REACH OUT AND READ. OFFERED IN 53 HEALTHPARTNERS CLINICS, REACH OUT AND READ IS A NATIONAL PROGRAM THAT ENCOURAGES PARENTS TO READ TO THEIR CHILDREN AND HELPS CARE PROVIDERS IDENTIFY CHILDREN WITH DEVELOPMENT DISABILITIES. AS PART OF THE PROGRAM, CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF SIX MONTHS AND FIVE YEARS ARE GIVEN NEW BOOKS WHEN THEY GO IN FOR THEIR REGULAR CHECKUPS (BOOKS ARE PROVIDED IN 12 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES). TRAINED CARE PROVIDERS WATCH HOW CHILDREN INTERACT WITH THE BOOKS TO SEE IF THEY ENGAGE IN AGE-APPROPRIATE BEHAVIORS. IF CHILDREN APPEAR TO HAVE DEVELOPMENT DELAYS, THE CARE PROVIDERS CAN SET THEM UP WITH EARLY INTERVENTION AT LOCAL SCHOOLS. MOTHERS ALSO RECEIVE A NEW BOOK AT THEIR PRENATAL 32-WEEK CHECKUPS TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO READ TO THEIR BABIES EARLY. STUDIES SHOW THAT REACH OUT AND READ FAMILIES READ TOGETHER MORE OFTEN, AND PRESCHOOL AGE CHILDREN SERVED BY THE PROGRAM SCORE THREE TO SIX MONTHS AHEAD OF THEIR PEERS ON VOCABULARY TESTS. CARDIOLOGY REGIONS IS A COMMUNITY LEADER IN HEART CARE, AND HEALTHGRADES NAMED THE HOSPITAL AMONG THE TOP 5% IN THE NATION FOR CARDIOLOGY SERVICES FOR TWO YEARS IN A ROW. IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $14,185 TO SUPPORT THE PATIENT CARE, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION OF OUR CARDIOVASCULAR SERVICES. REHABILITATION REGIONS HOSPITAL OFFERS INNOVATIVE INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION THERAPIES, INCLUDING ACUTE INPATIENT TREATMENT FOR THE MOST SERIOUSLY INJURED PATIENTS. OUR SERVICES INCLUDE PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL, SPEECH, AQUATIC AND HAND THERAPY AND RECREATIONAL REHABILITATION. WE ALSO OFFER REHABILITATION PSYCHOLOGY FOR THE EMOTIONAL NEEDS OF PATIENTS. THE FOUNDATION RAISED $13,341 FOR THE WORK OF THE REHABILITATION CENTER IN 2019. EMPLOYEE GIVING IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED $441,257 FROM EMPLOYEES OF REGIONS HOSPITAL, HEALTHPARTNERS CORPORATE AND HEALTHPARTNERS CLINICS AS PART OF THE ANNUAL ONE CAMPAIGN, WHICH RAISES FUNDS FOR PATIENT CARE, RESEARCH AND MEDICAL EDUCATION. WITH A HEALTHPARTNERS MATCH, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $755,609 AS PART OF THE CAMPAIGN. PATIENT CARE FUNDS RECEIVED BY THE FOUNDATION FROM THE CAMPAIGN WERE SPLIT BETWEEN PATIENT CARE GRANTS, INTEGRATIVE THERAPIES, REGIONS HOSPITAL AND HEALTHPARTNERS DRUG ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, AND AN EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE FUND. TWENTY PROGRAMS RECEIVED PATIENT CARE GRANT SUPPORT FOR A TOTAL OF $68,095 IN ASSISTANCE. AS PART OF THE 2019 ONE CAMPAIGN, THE FOUNDATION ALSO RAISED MONEY FOR WISHING WELL, HEALTHPARTNERS HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN HEALTHPARTNERS, INCLUDING AMERY HOSPITAL AND CLINIC FOUNDATION, HUDSON HOSPITAL FOUNDATION, WESTFIELDS HOSPITAL AND CLINIC FOUNDATION, LAKEVIEW HEALTH FOUNDATION AND PARK NICOLLET FOUNDATION.
