Welcome Fro m the Pre sid e nt and C EO

On behalf of French Hospital Medical Center, welcome to the eighth annual “Celebration of Caring” Gala. This spectacular charity event supports the good work being done by our wonderful caregivers at San Luis Obispo’s only not-for-profit hospital. Today, the hospital is undergoing a transformation that will bring advanced technology, enhanced services and upgraded facilities. This will allow our patients to receive the best medical care locally, where it is needed most. All of the funds raised tonight will help us to complete the “French – Well into the Future” campaign. With your help, we will usher in a new era in local medicine, one we can all be proud to have taken part in. Tonight, I invite you to celebrate the future of French Hospital, our friendships, caregivers, and community. Thank you and enjoy the evening!

Alan Iftiniuk President and CEO

Fro m the Gala Co -Chairs On behalf of the Special Events Committee, we welcome you to this evening’s Gala – “The Enchanted Sea”. This elegant event would not be possible without the many volunteers and event committee members, who worked tirelessly to design a wonderful venue, assemble amazing auction items and provide a memorable experience. The Gala is truly a culmination of many months of hard work to create a spectacular evening for our guests. Tonight, we are pleased to present Pour It Forward – Angel’s Share Wine, a special blend of red wine created exclusively for French Hospital. We hope you enjoy the evening and support our efforts to make a difference in the lives of those in need of health care services. Erin Steed Event Co-Chair

Recipient s of the 2013 Louis Tedone, M .D. Humanitarian Award

John and Sandy Dunn John and Sandy Dunn represent the true “spirit of giving back� to their community. Together, they have logged an incredible amount of volunteer hours to support a variety of non-profit organizations devoted to the arts, health care, social services and education. Both combine compassion and commitment with strong leadership and business skills. This combination has touched so many lives in our county; it is hard to imagine where their gentle but strong footsteps have not been. From the Performing Arts Center to the Symphony, from French Hospital to the Women’s Shelter, these represent only a few organizations that have benefited from their passion and dedication to make San Luis Obispo a better place today and in the future. Both John and Sandy represent the genuine meaning of human kindness and dignity. French Hospital Medical Center is proud to present the 2013 Louis Tedone, M.D. Humanitarian Award to John and Sandy Dunn, community leaders and revered members of our community. 3


Today, French Hospital Medical Center is at a pivotal point in its history. Though we have made many incremental advances, our 40-year-old facility was built to accommodate a different era in medicine. That is why we have launched the “French – Well into the Future” Campaign. This effort is driving our largest investment in over ten years. When the need arises, nothing is more important than access to a robust community hospital. As a not-for-profit, we continually reinvest any profits into the hospital to meet community needs. However, philanthropic support is a key element in our ability to continue delivering the high-quality, compassionate care that everyone in San Luis Obispo County has come to rely on.

As part of “Well into the Future”, five key initiatives will transform French Hospital:

Advanced C ar diac Hybrid Sur gic al Suite ICU E x pan sion and Remo del P r e and Post Sur gic al O ut patient Suite New Sp ecialt y Patient C ar e W ing Remodel and Expansion of the Family Birthing Center Your support at tonight’s Gala will help create a legacy of modern facilities and advanced technology at French Hospital that will serve the community for generations.

Classic Wrigley Field Rooftop Experience and Three Night Chicago Trip for Two Take part in a Wrigley Field tradition that goes back to the first Opening Day in 1914 by watching baseball from a rooftop on Waveland Ave. Kick back and enjoy the game with fantastic ballpark food and ice cold beverages! Don’t pass up your opportunity to experience a Chicago Cubs game from one of the official rooftop partners across the street from Wrigley Field. From these rooftops, you get an unobstructed view of the entire infield, as well as the outfield areas of Wrigley Field, and the historic Wrigley Field scoreboard. Avoid all the crowds and confusion of the ball park without missing any of the excitement of the game. Just pick the game and everything else will be arranged! Unlike the ball field, your rooftop admission provides your seats, beverages and appetizers, entrees and desserts with a large and varied menu of popular Chicago summer fair served over the course of the game.

Take home one of only 25 cases produced of this very special wine! For the first time, local wineries and winemakers have come together to create a special blend of fine wine for French Hospital – Angel’s Share. The 2012 Angel’s Share is a delicious blend of Syrah, Zinfandel, Grenache and Cabernet from some of the Central Coast best wineries. The name ‘Angel’s Share’ is a Kentucky coined phrase that is used to describe the process of evaporation that occurs while bourbon is aging in oak barrels. The evaporation loss is seen as a sign of giving gratitude to the heavens for the plentiful crop that is about to be bottled. A similar process occurs with wine aging and our Angel’s Share. Angel’s Share represents wine donated by local winemakers and purchased by supporters, our Angels, to benefit the patients at French Hospital Medical Center.
