Profiles of Giving Together we can reach those in need! Commitment to Women’s Health Horizon Health Care, Inc. is now able to improve women’s health services and cervical cancer screenings for our patients with the purchase of two colposcopy machines for our Huron and Mission clinics. A colposcopy is a more thorough diagnostic procedure that allows the provider to examine the cervix for abnormal cells and/or blood vessels directly by using specialized equipment known, as a colposcope. This equipment magnifies the cervix so that the provider is able to directly view a magnified image of the patient’s cervix. During that procedure, if abnormalities are visualized, the provider may decide to take a small biopsy or scraping of the cells to send to a pathologist. “Being able to offer this service within our clinics to our patients will greatly improve cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services for Horizon Health Care, Inc. patients,” said Tonya Koepsell, Operations Director. Horizon Health Foundation raised nearly $10,000 in July by raffling off a chance for one lucky winner to visit San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. The trip included a 4-night, all-inclusive stay at the Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos, with airfare for two. The winner of the raffle was Tanya Black, who bought her ticket after hearing about it from her sister. The vacation was valued at $9,605, with each ticket costing $75 to purchase. 7

Employee Giving Campaign October 2017, the Horizon Health Foundation kicked off their second Employee Giving Campaign, “Planting the Seed for Healthcare.” Through this campaign, Horizon Health Care employees across the state were challenged to raise $40,000 in 40 days with over 40% of staff participating. For the second year in a row, employees exceeded the campaign goals and raised over $41,000, with 43% participation within the 40 day period. In 2016, the employee campaign raised $31,000, with 35% participation within 40 days. All donations raised through the employee campaign, will be designated to the Horizon Health Foundation’s funds of behavioral health, cancer care, charity care, diabetes, employee emergency, service area clinics, and the Horizon Impact – our greatest needs fund. Donations raised will be used to benefit Horizon’s patients and local clinics in these fund areas. One example of how funds were used from the first campaign was the recent purchase of over 100 gas cards for patients at every Horizon clinic. Patients that need help with travel are now able to get to the care they need.Gift of a SnuggleThe Horizon Health Foundation waspresented with a Christmas-themed quiltthat was donated by Marilyn Eggert, localHoward resident. The quilt was made byMarilyn’s niece. After losing her husband,Buck, to cancer, Marilyn decided to donatethe quilt to the Foundation to give to theHoward Community Health Center, withthe request that the quilt be given to a localpatient undergoing cancer treatment thatmay need an extra “snuggle” during theholiday season. Horizon Health Care andthe Horizon Health Foundation appreciateMarilyn’s generosity and thoughtfulness totouch someone else’s life this Christmas. 8

Tigers Step Up 2 Cancer Each year the Howard High School Student Council chooses a service project. This year they were challenged to do something big. In September, the Student Council, along with their peers, partnered with the Horizon Health Foundation and took on a challenge to raise awareness and dollars for patients with cancer in Miner County. The Tigers Step Up 2 Cancer Campaign ran the month of October with students selling t-shirts. The goal was to raise $2,500 and Rivers Edge Bank, Member FDIC, agreed to match all gifts, dollar for dollar up to $2,500. The students exceeded their goal and raised $3,071.75. Rivers Edge Bank announced that they would go beyond their original pledge to match up to $2,500 and match all the money raised dollar for dollar.The Horizon Health Foundationreceived $6,143 for their cancer care fund, which they will useto make an impact for Horizon patients in Miner County. 9

Profiles of Care Ensuring health care for rural communities! Hunter’s Story Watch Hunter’s video at www.horizonhealthfoundation.com. It started as a typical spring Sunday in Faith, SD for the Johnson family, watching their oldest son, Hunter, compete in the local high school rodeo on Mother’s Day 2016. Just days before his own high school graduation, Hunter saddled up his horse like he had hundreds of other times in his life. Hunter and his horse came out of the chute and made a few jumps, when he was knocked loose and kicked in the chest. “I took about four steps and I remember my legs kind of just quit working,” recalls Hunter. “I couldn’t figure out what was going on and everything went black.” As Hunter’s parents, Russel and Krissy, fearfully watched from the stands, they immediately knew something was wrong. As their son lay stretched out on the ground, Kris Escott, a local nurse with Horizon Health Care’s Faith Community Health Center, began CPR. When Hunter was kicked in the chest, it caused Commotio Cortis, which stopped his heart – meaning Kris needed to shock him multiple times to get his heart beating again. Commotio Cortis is a disruption in heart rhythm that occurs as a result of a blow to the area directly over the heart during the heart beat cycle, causing cardiac arrest.“It sunk into me that I was pretty sure I just watched my kid die.” -Russel, Hunter’s Father 16

Hunter’s StoryNow in his second year of college, Kris EscottHunter and his family can’t imagine & Hunterwhat the outcome could have beenif Kris Escott wasn’t at the rodeo thatfateful day.“Kris Escott is the lady thatsaved my life,” Hunter sayswith tears and gratitude. “IfHorizon Health Care wasn’t inFaith, SD… Kris Escott wouldn’thave been in Faith, SD.”Nearly 2.5 hours from the nearestcity, Faith is what Hunter describes asa small, tight-knit community where “I still to this day have noyour neighbors are always lookingout for you. Being that far away from words. There are no words toa city, means they also don’t have express having someone givelarge health care facilities nearby and your child back to you.”solely rely on their local clinic andmedical professionals to provide theurgent and day-to-day care when -Krissy, Hunter’s Motherthey need it. Being that far from ahospital means many of the medicalprofessionals in Faith, just like mostsmall communities, are not only thereto greet you at your appointment in the clinic, but also there in emergency situations likeHunter’s as an EMT. Kris Escott is one of those people; during the day she is a nurse at theFaith Clinic, but she is also a local EMT and the current Ambulance Director around the clockin the community. Kris began her career in health care by joining the ambulance crew as anEMT, which then led her to becoming a nurse.“I enjoy working in a small town because I feel that I am making a difference,” Kris says.“You are personally vested in your patients’ outcome. You know your patients in a criticaltime, thankfully Hunter’s situation turned out for the best.” 17

Profiles of Giving Together we can reach those in need! 7 Individuals IMPACTED Donors across South Dakota joined with Creative Printing of Huron, SD (who matched gifts dollar for dollar) to raise nearly $13,000 for Horizon Health Care patients unable to afford a colonoscopy. The Huron Regional Medical Center partnered with Horizon by offering a colonoscopy at a reduced rate to eligible participants. In 2017, we had 34 patients in need of a colonoscopy that are high risk and cannot afford to receive one. Because of the generosity of donors like you, the Horizon Health Foundation has earmarked $15,200 from the Cancer Care Fund to assist seven of these patients. We are grateful to you, but as you can read, that leaves 27 individuals (mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters) that are in need of our help. Each colonoscopy costs $2,000 with our partner agreement discount. Would you consider supporting a patient in need this year? YOU could be the hero that can help keep a mother or father here for their family this year. Howard Farmers Co-op has demonstrated the “neighbors helping neighbors” mentality by joining the Horizon Health Foundation’s efforts in providing life-saving care to South Dakotans. 24
