2009 Charity Gala is a big hit!<br />
Less than a week before Thanksgiving, on November 21, 2009, guests of <strong>Waterbury</strong><br />
<strong>Hospital</strong>’s 2009 Annual Gala entered a harvest-themed wonderland. The Villa Rosa<br />
Wedding and Banquet Facility was transformed by cornucopias of flowers, wheat, and<br />
vegetables spilling out onto the dining tables. The silent auction gift baskets wove<br />
around the entrance to the Villa among strewn leaves and mums. With over 500 guests<br />
in attendance, a heated and colored floodlit tent framed the entrance, showcasing the<br />
many silent auction items. This, the tenth annual gala, was appropriately titled, “Let’s<br />
Celebrate” to honor the decade milestone.<br />

The proceeds from the Gala were earmarked for the<br />
Critical Care Unit of <strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> which helps<br />
over 1,300 people yearly. Infusion pumps with “smart”<br />
technology, advanced monitoring systems, specialized<br />
beds and updated ventilators are some of the unit’s current<br />
needs that the proceeds will provide. John Tobin,<br />
President and CEO of <strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>, thanked the<br />
clinicians, physicians, nursing staff and other professionals<br />
who serve in this key healing area.<br />
The diamond raffle attracted a flood of formally-dressed<br />
guests hoping to win the three stunning diamond jewelry<br />
pieces donated by Onyx II Jewelers of Watertown.<br />
Raffle ticket buyers were given small blinking orange<br />
lights to wear, sparking even more interest in the raffle.<br />
As guests dined on filet mignon and stuffed jumbo<br />
shrimp, a beaming Richard Smith, long-time <strong>Waterbury</strong><br />
<strong>Hospital</strong> social worker, was honored as the 2009<br />
Humanitarian of the Year. A taped tribute from colleagues<br />
and clients praised him for his tireless and creative<br />
approaches to bolster the lives of his clients. One<br />
highly visible effort of their’s is the <strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong><br />
Project Photography Club, whose president, Leroy<br />
Hilliard, praised Smith as not only a mentor, but a friend.<br />
Throughout the evening, guests were entertained by the<br />
driving sounds of Third Shift, headlined by <strong>Waterbury</strong><br />
<strong>Hospital</strong>’s own songstress Nadina Perry. The crowd<br />
appreciated the Villa Rosa’s large dance floor, filling it<br />
with energetic dancing.<br />
The guests were amused to see several hospital colleagues<br />
don various states of attire to promote the six<br />
live auction Packages. Emcee (and hospital Chief<br />
Development Officer) Tom Missett was ably assisted in<br />
his role as Auctioneer by several members of the Gala<br />
Committee, including Cyndi Lompert, Steve Jalowiec,<br />
Craig Carrigan and a Gala Co-Chair Dr. Carl Sherter.<br />
The Reverend Richard Bollea (Committee member and<br />
hospital chaplain), wearing a straw hat and tropical<br />
print shirt, sang about the beauties of St. Lucia, an auction<br />
get-away destination in the Windward Islands. The<br />
top money draw this year was a dinner in a private<br />
home, prepared by renowned chef Carole Peck.<br />
As the evening wound down, with only the diehard<br />
dancers left, all went home pleased that their good time<br />
had raised a harvest of money for such an important<br />
cause. The total raised was almost $95,000, which is<br />
“immensely gratifying in this uncertain economy, “ said<br />
chief development officer Tom Missett. “The <strong>Waterbury</strong><br />
<strong>Hospital</strong> community should be proud of itself. Sponsors,<br />
staff, donors and guests all came together to make a<br />
good thing happen.”<br />
<strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> Auxiliary President Linda Hamid with John Tobin, <strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong><br />
President and CEO (l.) and <strong>Waterbury</strong> Mayor Michael Jarjura at a reception honoring the<br />
Auxiliary's 120 years of service to the hospital.<br />
<strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong><br />
Auxiliary Celebrates<br />
120 Years of Service<br />
Founded as the <strong>Hospital</strong> Aid<br />
Society in 1890, The <strong>Waterbury</strong><br />
<strong>Hospital</strong> Auxiliary, Inc., recently<br />
celebrated 120 years of service at<br />
the Poli Club of the Palace Theater.<br />
The oldest hospital auxiliary in<br />
Connecticut, it has grown from the<br />
original 40 members to a membership<br />
of more than 300.<br />
<strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> President and<br />
CEO John Tobin and <strong>Waterbury</strong><br />
Mayor Michael Jarjura applauded<br />
the Auxiliary’s long list of accomplishments,<br />
including donations of<br />
more than $2 million towards medical<br />
equipment and other hospital<br />
needs. <strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong><br />
Auxiliary President Linda Hamid<br />
remarked: “It is an honor and<br />
privilege to<br />
continue the<br />
legacy of<br />
providing funds,<br />
support and<br />
services to the<br />
patients, their<br />
families and the<br />
employees of<br />
<strong>Waterbury</strong><br />
<strong>Hospital</strong>, and to<br />
play a vital role<br />
in the life of the<br />
greater<br />
community.”<br />
The original founders’ vision was to<br />
“give aid by furnishing clothing,<br />
bedding, delicacies, papers, books,<br />
pictures and other needed articles”.<br />
In recent years the<br />
<strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> Auxiliary, Inc.<br />
has contributed funds to help build<br />
Joan Reed (l.) and Pat Fahey of the<br />
Auxiliary, with friends of the<br />
Auxiliary Dr. David Reed and Dr. W.<br />
Scott Peterson.<br />
the Harold Leever Regional Cancer<br />
Center, enhance the hospital main<br />
entrance and Woodward Lobby,<br />
and offer an efficient swipe card<br />
payment system for employees. A<br />
recent gift of $40,000 helped to<br />
facilitate the purchase of a reporting/monitoring<br />
system for the<br />
Cardiopulmonary Department.<br />
The Auxiliary established the lobby<br />
coffee bar, sponsors the popular<br />
gift shop and maintains the attractive<br />
art corridor. Since Auxiliary<br />
members keep close contact with<br />
the hospital community, they are<br />
especially good at devising ways to<br />
meet basic patient needs. They<br />
supply teddy bears to calm children<br />
undergoing medical procedures,<br />
knit items for newborns,<br />
award<br />
health field scholarships,<br />
and<br />
recently provided<br />
a “blanket<br />
warmer” for the<br />
CathLab.<br />
Successful fundraisers<br />
have<br />
included house<br />
tours, fashion<br />
shows, luncheons<br />
and the sale of<br />
signature chocolate butterflies. The<br />
dedicated Auxiliary Board and all<br />
hard-working members welcome<br />
people to join their mission of<br />
promoting <strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong><br />
and helping to fund strategic<br />
hospital needs.<br />

As the rain held off, golfers took their best shots at the 16th Annual Charity Golf Classic, which was fully booked at 144 players.<br />
16th Annual Charity Golf Classic a<br />
Swinging Success<br />
Overcast skies and an uncertain economy did not dampen<br />
<strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>’s 16th Annual Charity Golf Classic held at The<br />
Country Club of <strong>Waterbury</strong> on Monday, June 15, 2009. The fully<br />
booked event saw 144 golfers zip out in golf carts for an afternoon<br />
flight of skill and camaraderie. Despite a quick sprinkle, the predicted<br />
thunderstorms never arrived. One golfer even displayed a<br />
weather map on his cell phone showing the weather system dividing,<br />
like the parting of the Red Sea, around <strong>Waterbury</strong>!<br />
Besides playing the 18 holes, golfers also participated in a putting<br />
contest, a hole-in-one contest to win a car donated by Loehmann-<br />
Blasius Chevrolet, and vigorous bidding on nearly two dozen raffle<br />
items. A wheelbarrow full of fine liquors was one particularly<br />
enticing item. Each golf foursome had its picture taken by<br />
<strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>’s Project Photography Club, overseen by<br />
social worker Richard Smith. After play was over and the golfers<br />
went through the bountiful buffet line, they looked out over the<br />
beautiful Donald J. Ross-designed course from the Country Club’s<br />
elevated perch, and relived some of the day’s finer moments. One<br />
golfer, who has supported the Golf Classic for years, expressed<br />
his pleasure that the historic Country Club of <strong>Waterbury</strong> had<br />
become the event’s home. During dinner, Golf Committee<br />
Chairman Glenn Marx of Webster Bank emceed the raffle which<br />
raised additional funds for hospital needs.<br />
The full turnout and support by nearly fifty sponsors, with Carmody<br />
& Torrance again the Champion Sponsor, enabled this year’s Golf<br />
Classic to raise over $73,000 for <strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>’s Critical Care<br />
Unit. Dr. Jo-anne Cosgriff, Director of Critical Care, said that<br />
many of the Unit’s current needs include a monitoring system,<br />
ventilators, specialized beds and other “smart” medical technology<br />
to enhance patient care.<br />
<strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>’s Charity Golf Classic has been one of the hospital’s<br />
major fundraisers for nearly two decades. The enthusiastic<br />
support of the Greater <strong>Waterbury</strong> business community and the<br />
cooperation of the weather ensured that this year’s event was<br />
another great success.<br />

WATERBURY HEALTH<br />
ACCESS PROGRAM (WHAP)<br />
IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE<br />
Leslie Swiderski is <strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>’s<br />
Program Coordinator for the <strong>Waterbury</strong><br />
Health Access Program (WHAP). When<br />
Leslie’s mother, Ann Kopp Scranton, died on<br />
November 1 this year, her family asked that<br />
gifts in her memory be directed to the<br />
support of this program, to bring hope and<br />
healing to many lives. This request stemmed<br />
from Ann’s strong belief in equal access to<br />
healthcare. These gifts are currently helping<br />
to supplement the diminished<br />
level of federal funds available<br />
for the uninsured. “The program’s<br />
mission is to provide<br />
access to medical care<br />
regardless of one’s ability to<br />
pay,” said Swiderski.<br />
An estimated 30,000 adults and<br />
children in the Greater<br />
<strong>Waterbury</strong> Area live without<br />
health insurance. The <strong>Waterbury</strong> Health<br />
Access Program provides bilingual, coordinated<br />
case management services that link<br />
these patients to existing medical entitlement<br />
programs, a medical home, and the coordination<br />
of individual care. Qualified patients are<br />
enrolled into the WHAP donated-care component<br />
(<strong>Waterbury</strong> Project Access) in which 340<br />
area physicians, three community clinics, and<br />
the two area hospitals (<strong>Waterbury</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong><br />
and Saint Mary’s <strong>Hospital</strong>) provide donated<br />
care. “The perception is that these are destitute<br />
people,” said Swiderski. “However, it is<br />
estimated that 80% of the uninsured in the<br />
U.S. are from working families. Others just<br />
need assistance during a period of unemployment.<br />
WHAP is able to leverage $1.56 of<br />
donated services for every $1.00 contributed,<br />
so each gift is worth a gift and a half!”<br />
Significant state grant funding for WHAP will<br />
end in June, 2010. While the program also<br />
receives support from the Connecticut<br />
Community Foundation, the Naugatuck<br />
Savings Bank Foundation, HUD, and the<br />
United Way of Greater <strong>Waterbury</strong>, it will now<br />
rely on contributed income more than ever.<br />
“With the economy in its current state and<br />
the area unemployment rate of about 11%, I<br />
can’t imagine how the growing number of<br />
uninsured will access healthcare<br />
without the services provided by<br />
WHAP,” said Swiderski. Through<br />
November, WHAP evaluated<br />
7,759 referrals in 2009, and has<br />
averaged over 3,000 active<br />
patients serviced each year.<br />
WHAP has begun to implement a<br />
shared electronic medical<br />
record in all outpatient clinics in<br />
<strong>Waterbury</strong>, eliminating duplicated services<br />
that stretch everyone’s budgets. Patients are<br />
also enrolled in a Pharmacy Assistance prescription<br />
drug program to obtain generic<br />
medications. Since its inception in 2005, care<br />
and medication for uninsured and underinsured<br />
residents of the Greater <strong>Waterbury</strong><br />
Area provided by WHAP and its volunteer<br />
medical professionals is valued at $3,437,147.<br />
