Generous DonorsGift Baby GrandPiano to AltruHospitalGregg Halverson and Dr. Yvonne Gomezbelieve that holistic care is asimportant as regular care in a hospitalsetting. In April, 2016 they purchaseda baby grand piano as a focal point forAltru Hospital’s waiting room.
“Music holds a very personal andimportant place in Gregg and Yvonne'shearts,” said Jon Green, Executive
Director at Altru Health Foundation. “When they learned about the interestin securing a piano as part of Altru's holistic care approach to healing, theyimmediately came forward with their offer to purchase the piano. Thepiano will provide many hours of calming and soothing care to patients andtheir families as they go through very stressful times. I am veryappreciative that this opportunity both enables Gregg and Yvonne to havepleasure in providing the piano and the tremendous benefits it will provideto others in their time of need.”
“I am very excited about the piano donated for the front lobby,” says LeslieSaulsbury, Altru’s Music Therapist. “I see every day how music can changethe environment of a hospital room for patients. The great part is that it'snot just happening for patients. I see the benefit for family members,visitors, and for our own staff members who care for them as well. Musichelps take us to a different place within ourselves where we can be morerelaxed and mindful. Whether you are coming for an appointment orcoming for your shift, that is the kind of environment those entering theworld of health care can really benefit from. To be able to provide this foranyone who enters our doors in the main lobby is truly a wonderful gift.”

Altru Health Foundation received a gift of$190,022.21 from the Estate of Charles Swanson.Charles passed away at age 89 on November 27, 2015,after a long illness. Charles designated his gift to benefitAltru’s Renal Dialysis Department.
Charles was born and raised in Red Lake Falls, MN.After graduating from the Northwest School of Agriculturein Crookston, he served in the United States Army duringWorld War II, and then returned home to run the SwansonFamily Farm. Charles enjoyed the farm life, and raisedlivestock and small grains. He never married nor had kidsof his own. He enjoyed reading, bird-watching, andtraveling.
Charles grew close to the nurses at Altru’s dialysisduring his care. Julie Nelson, manager of the renaldialysis unit, described Charles as a “nice, kind man.” Hehad a passion for philanthropy and also left a large gift toNorthwest Minnesota Foundation. Patrick Thibert, CFP
and financial advisor with Edward Jones, helped facilitateSwanson’s philanthropy efforts. According to Thibert,Charles was really impressed with the kind and caringstaff of Altru’s Renal Dialysis unit. Charles felt he wasfortunate that he had local options to receive his care. “Itwas a pleasure to work with Jon and his staff at AltruHealth Foundation to insure Mr. Swanson’s wishes werefulfilled,” said Thibert. Thibert remembers Charles as acaring, knowledgeable, appreciative man.
“We are extremely thankful for Charles Swanson'sgenerous gift from his estate.

It is apositive affirmation of Altru's mission to deliver worldclass care right here at home in our region. His gift willenable us to replace equipment in our renal dialysis unitrehab program.

sk Merrilee Brown what makes her so passionate about giving back, andyou will truly learn what the word humble means.
“I was raised to believe that you never know what kind of day ormoment someone else is having. You always have something to offereveryone. Even if it is just a smile,” says Merrilee. “There is somethinginside of me and I’d like to believe inside of everyone, that allows us tofeel for other people as if their emotions were our own. I have learned thatit is always better to act on those feelings than to do nothing.”
Merrilee learned about the foundation many years ago when she wasasked to serve on the board. “I did not know anything about it actually,”says Merrilee. “I asked my brother in law, Dr. Eric Bakke, what this was allabout and he told me that he thought it would be a great board to serve onand thought I would like it.”
She says that her passion for Altru stems from the future. “None of usknow what the future holds for us as far as our health. All of thedepartment’s within Altru are important to all of us at every stage of ourlife. My passion is for Altru to succeed at being the best they can be inevery aspect. The better Altru can be the more at ease patients can feelabout staying close to home when they need care.”
Merrilee spent nine years on the Altru Health Foundation board andshe believes that it changed her life. “I learned so much and met fabulouspeople. You realize that these things don’t just magically happen, it takespeople. There are a lot of caring people in this community. If everyone doesa little a lot can happen.”
It is easy to see that Merrilee embodies the life of an Altruist. “I am soproud to say she is my mom! She is the type of woman that wants to helpso many people in so many different ways,” says Katie Bergner, Merrilee’sdaughter. “For some, she has helped get medical supplies when theycouldn’t get them in their town, she has bought airline tickets for people tofly home to be with loved ones who were ill and most of the time she isjust a really great listener. To sum up my mom, she is a doer and a problemsolver with a really compassionate heart and very deserving of this award.”
Merrilee has continued to be a huge part of Altru even after serving herfull 9 year board term, and through the years has been so giving to themission.“In this world we live in there are way too many families in need.My husband and I have been fortunate to be able to help others lightentheir load. Giving to different organizations that can give our gifts at a levelof 100% so that the dollars actually get to those who need the help meansa great deal to us. Altru Health Foundation does this. No administrationfees are taken out. 100% goes where you want it to go. It is almostunheard of.”

in this community. If everyone
does a little a lot can happen.”
- Merrilee Brown, long time Altru Health Foundation board member, donor to Altru Health Foundation, and the second recipient of the Altruist Award
“Philanthropy is extremely important because what good is anything if thereis no balance. Everyone can learn to give a little of themselves. Whether it ismoney or time, time can be one of our most important assets that can go a longway. It is priceless. Keeping the balance is what can make communities andpeople survive and thrive,” explains Merrilee.
The Altruist Award

“Merrilee is so deserving of this recognition for so many reasons. Merrileehas a passion for helping others in need,” says Jon Green, executive director ofAltru Health Foundation. “After having served her full eligibility on the AltruHealth Foundation board over four years ago, she continues to contact me withindividual's needs. She does this with no expectation of being recognized orrewarded, which puts all her efforts purely from her heart. Merrilee hasinstilled this passion in her children who have undertaken their ownphilanthropic programs and support. Merrilee is a shining example of what itmeans to be altruistic.”
“There are many, many people deserving of this award,” says Merrilee. “I am honored to have been chosen amongst them.”

Altru Health Foundation received a$50,000 grant from Brave Beginnings
In April, 2016 Altru Health Foundation received a $50,000 grant fromBrave Beginnings for a new Giraffe Omnibed and a Giraffe Shuttle. BraveBeginnings is a program of the Will Rogers Institute, and works to ensureventilators and life-saving neonatal equipment are always available to newbornsin critical need. Currently Altru has seven existing Giraffe Omnibeds but has thecapacity to house 16.
“Altru Health System’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit has had a steadyincrease in the number of Micro Preemies we serve. Micro Preemies aregenerally classified as infants with a birth weight less than 800 grams (1lb12ounces) or born before 26 weeks gestation,” explains Amy Zabinski, an RNPatient Care Supervisor at Altru Hospital. “These infants have increasingmedical needs and are at risk for immediate and on-going health concerns. TheGiraffe Omnibed that will be purchased with these grant funds will allow us tomaintain better thermoregulation for these at risk infants. By minimizing heatloss and decreasing risk for cold stress we have better fluid management whichallows for less lab draws and a decrease in other invasive procedures.”

The 14th Annual Altru Cancer CenterGolf Tournament Raises $101,000 forFilling the Gap and Caring for Kids
One hundred percent of the proceeds will support financially eligible patients ofAltru Cancer Center and the Caring for Kids Program with items not covered byinsurance.
Golfers, sponsors, and volunteers all came together for the 14th Annual AltruCancer Center Golf Tournament on June 9, raising over $101,000 for Filling theGap and Caring for Kids. In its history the tournament has raised over $1 million forpatients in need.
Filling the Gap helps provide financially eligible patients with gas cards,nutritional supplements, and lodging assistance when overnight stays are necessary.These items are not typically covered by insurance, yet can dramatically affect apatient’s quality of life.
Similar to Altru’s Filling the Gap program, the newly created Caring for Kidshelps to ease the financial burden of families with children receiving pediatriccancer treatments or treatments for chronic illness at Altru.
Patients with pediatric cancers are treated at Altru’s Main Clinic in thePediatrics department. Multiple trips to Altru per month are typically needed forthese patients, which can quickly become a financial difficulty for families travelingin from the region. Caring for Kids provides gas cards and lodging accommodationsto financially qualified families. These items are not covered by insurance, yet canplay a significant role in the financial wellbeing of the family.
Filling the Gap helps our patients immensely by meeting basic needs. Thisprogram provides for nutritional supplements for all patients regardless of incomeand also helps "fill the gap" with finances when they travel distances for their carethrough hotel stays, gas cards or even taxi rides if they live in town and don't have aride or feel well enough to drive.
In the past fourteen years, the Altru Cancer Center Golf Tournament has raisedover a million dollars for Filling the Gap. If you are interested in becoming asponsor or donating to Filling the Gap or Caring for Kids, please contact RandySchoenborn at [email protected] or 701.780.5618.
“To donors of Filling the Gap,
thank you so much for the gas
cards to use during my radiation
treatments! What a blessing….
The repeated 80 mile drive to
Grand Forks was much easier
knowing I had that help. Again
thank you! You obviously ‘filled
the gap’ for me.”
- Patient from Cavalier, North Dakota
