DEARFRIENDS

John W. Bozard, PresidentOrlando Health FoundationArnold Palmer Medical Center Foundation

Celebrating pivotal moments in our history and partnerships makes me think about the number of celebrations our medical teams have helped our patients be a part of after receiving exceptional care at one of our facilities.

In just a few short months, we’ll be celebrating a major milestone when we host a rockin’ 25th birthday party for Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. This is an exciting opportunity to look back at all that has been accomplished, thanks to your generous gifts. It also allows us to look to the future and plan for the next 25 years.

The Walt Disney Company is helping us prepare for the future with a gift of $3 million to fulfill a critical need in the treatment of children that will enable medical staff to more quickly diagnose and provide life-saving care for children in their greatest hour of need. Our decades-long partnership with The Walt Disney Company has been critical in advancing the level of care we provide to some of our youngest patients. Read more about Disney’s support throughout the years on pages 4 and 5.

Another great partnership, with CNL Financial Group, has enabled Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC) to continue to provide exceptional trauma care to our community. For nine years, CNL has supported our annual ONE NIGHTSM to Celebrate Excellence in Trauma Care and continues to remain involved as we anticipate the opening of ORMC’s new patient tower in 2015. Without CNL’s partnership, trauma care in Central Florida would not be what it is today. Read more on pages 2 and 3 about how the trauma teams at Central Florida’s only Level One Trauma Center saved the lives of two teenagers.

Your gifts and dedication to the mission of the Orlando Health Foundation not only allow our expert teams to continue providing life-saving care, but they also allow our patients to have the opportunity to make more memories and enjoy more celebrations. You are philanthropic heroes who help our community thrive, because without your support, these patients may not have received the care that saved their lives.

Today, and every day, we celebrate you, our philanthropic heroes!

When Alisa Pelot and Elizabeth Harrison’s

lives hung in the balance, there was no time to wait for surgeons to be called in, specialists to be contacted or operating rooms to be prepared for their complex procedures. These resources needed to be immediately available. And they were.

In February 2011, Aaron Imeson, an off-duty paramedic, witnessed an accident on I-4 involving six teenagers, including Alisa and Elizabeth. The SUV hit an embankment, causing the car to flip over.

“Going to ORMC’s Level One Trauma Center was the only choice for these patients to have any chance of survival,” says Aaron. “There were multiple emergency rooms that were closer however they could not provide the extensive resources and level of care that these girls needed.”

“A Level One Trauma Center is different than a regular emergency room, in that we have resources in house all the time,” says ORMC nursing manager Michele Fackler.

The phone calls that each parent received were those that every parent fears. It was hard for each girl’s family to understand the severity of the situation.

LEVEL OF CARE AT ORMC IS UNSURPASSED “We didn’t realize we were at the only Level One Trauma Center in Orlando,” Karen Pelot, Alisa’s mother, comments. Both Alisa and Elizabeth sustained serious injuries in the accident that required the help of the expert teams at ORMC that could save their lives.

Despite feeling frantic, anxious and helpless, Alisa and Elizabeth’s parents put their faith and trust in the doctors and nurses who were working tirelessly to save their daughters’ lives.

“If it wasn’t for the trauma center, I don’t think Elizabeth would be here today,” adds Susan Harrison, Elizabeth’s mother. “I think if she went elsewhere she wouldn’t have received the level of care that she needed to get back to her old self.”

Both girls required multiple surgeries and blood transfusions throughout their stays.Karen recalls a particularly difficult moment as they prepared for one of Alisa’s major surgeries, requiring her broken

pelvis to be rebuilt. She listened to Mark Munro, MD, explain how he would perform the surgery and all she could ask was when her daughter would run again. Dr. Munro told her, “We are really a long way from talking about her running. Let me go save her life first and then we’ll talk about running.” Karen says, “That’s when it really hit me how serious her injuries must be.”

GIRLS ARE DOING ‘AMAZINGLY WELL’After undergoing extensive rehabilitation, today Alisa runs and exercises regularly and is a junior at Florida State University. Alisa’s mom Karen says, “She’s just doing amazingly well!”

Since recovering from her injuries, Elizabeth has received her AA degree from Valencia College and now attends the University of Central Florida. “She’s back to her old self,” her mom Susan adds. “And we’re just thrilled that she has made the recovery that she has.”

Both families are incredibly appreciative of the care and treatment their daughters received during such a difficult time. “I’m so grateful that she [Alisa] had the staff, the doctors, the nurses, the chaplains and the therapists that she did,” says Karen.

If it wasn’t for the trauma center, I don’t think Elizabeth would be here today.

Susan Harrison, Elizabeth’s mother

Elizabeth Harrison (L) and Alisa Pelot (R) were seniors at Boone High School in 2011 when they were in a serious car accident requiring them to be transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center, Central Florida’s only Level One Trauma Center.

FEATURE STORY IN THE MOMENT @ ORMC

2 foundation & friends - july/august 2014

YOU ARE PHILANTHROPIC HEROES

TEAMING UP FOR TRAUMA PREVENTION AND AWARENESSThe two girls, along with other families, have also become ambassadors for the Always Wear Your Seatbelt (AWYS) Foundation, which was created to raise awareness for seatbelt safety. The team at ORMC partners with the AWYS Foundation at outreach events throughout the year.

“Trauma is the number one cause of mortality in young people,” says trauma surgeon Michael Cheatham, MD. “To reduce this high mortality, we’re doing everything we can to encourage teens to be safer through our trauma prevention programs.”

Three years after receiving life-saving care at ORMC, Alisa and Elizabeth are both now attending college in Florida. Their story was featured at this year’s annual ONE NIGHT to Celebrate Excellence in Trauma Care held in May to benefit ORMC.

The ORMC Level One Trauma Center impacts all residents in the Central Florida community. A trauma team is always ready and available to provide life-saving care in some of life’s most tragic moments, setting ORMC apart from other hospitals in the area.

ORMC would not to be able to treat patients in these tragic moments without our caregivers, who make countless sacrifices to provide complex care. Our trauma team members are often called “trauma heroes.” And while only a special few are blessed with the skills and heroic courage to provide care when someone’s life is on the line, everyone can give. You can be a philanthropic “hero” by supporting Central Florida’s only Level One Trauma Center.

By supporting ORMC, you will help fund the construction of the new patient tower and trauma intensive care unit, as well as the expansion of the trauma bays and new operating rooms, all of which will increase our capacity to provide life-saving trauma care.

To make a donation in support of ORMC, please use the enclosed envelope or visit https://orlandohealth.fundly.com/ormc-expansion-renovation. If you would like to discuss your gift or learn more, please contact Jeremy Gamble at 321.841.8870 or [email protected].

DID YOU KNOW Orlando Health offers community outreach programs for trauma awareness? To find out more about these programs and to schedule sessions, please contact Susan Ono at [email protected].

ORMC provides the only Level One Trauma

Center in Central Florida, treating more

than 4,300 patients each year. As a Level One Trauma Center,

ORMC sees the sickest of the sick and the

most critically injured patients. Given the

extensive capabilities of the Trauma Center,

patients are often accepted from smaller hospitals in the region

that do not have the staff or resources

available at ORMC.

After receiving care at ORMC, Elizabeth and Alisa have become ambassadors for the Always Wear Your Seatbelt Foundation, which was created to raise awareness for seatbelt safety. ORMC partners with the foundation at outreach events throughout the year.


DISNEY HELPS BREAK GROUND AT CENTRAL FLORIDA’S FIRST HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN AND WOMEN

THE

DISNEY

The Walt Disney Company helped Arnold Palmer break ground on Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children & Women in 1986. Disney’s support of Arnold Palmer Hospital goes back to its founder, Walt Disney. The rich Disney heritage of compassionate support of children began with Mr. Disney in his early days in the business, when he frequently visited children in hospitals in Southern California. He guided the company giving toward supporting children and families in need.

The Walt Disney Company was an early philanthropic leader when the new hospital plans were announced. It gave more than $600,000 in cash and in-kind gifts to support the construction and opening of the first hospital in Central Florida dedicated to children and women.

The Walt Disney Company celebrated the opening of Arnold Palmer Hospital on September 10, 1989. Mickey Mouse and friends were on hand at the event. Disney not only helped celebrate the hospital’s grand opening, their Imagineers designed and installed a fun-filled atrium lobby to help children feel more comfortable when visiting the hospital. A 31-foot Cinderella Castle replica is the focal point of this design.

The Walt Disney Company provided $10,000 in 1991 toward the needed expansion

of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Arnold Palmer Hospital.

1989

In 2006, the Walt Disney World Resort gave $75,000 to Arnold Palmer Hospital to update the hospital atrium it had created when the hospital first opened. Additionally, it provided 3,000 labor hours to complete the atrium renovation. The renovation added new elements to the lobby including several Disney characters and a beanstalk for children to enjoy while visiting Arnold Palmer Hospital.

2006

DISNEY & THE ARNOLD PALMER MEDICAL CENTER FOUNDATION


2008-NOWThe Disney Grants program has provided $10,000 each year for the past six years to The Howard Phillips Center to support the Children’s Advocacy Center, which helps treat and protect children who have been victims of abuse. The program’s main goals are to prevent the revictimization of children, to ensure abused children receive mental health counseling; to heal; and to effectively prosecute perpetrators of child abuse. Disney’s support gives these children the chance they deserve to heal.

Since 2007, the Walt Disney World Resort has been a top-level sponsor at ONE NIGHT, providing $25,000 each year for ORMC. Additionally, it has sponsored Taste For Learning twice, which benefits the Orlando Health Medical Education Program. The company also has been represented on both the Orlando Health Board and the Orlando Health Foundation Board. Currently, Brian Besanceney sits on the Orlando Health Board, preceeded by Meg Crofton, now president, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Operations - U.S. and France. Rilous Carter has been a member of the Orlando Health Foundation board for the past three years.

GIFT OF $3 MILLION TO HELP CHILDREN IN THEIR GREATEST HOUR OF NEED

Brian Besanceney, senior vice president of Public Affairs for the Walt Disney World Resort, and Rilous Carter, vice president of Catering, Convention Services and Park Operations at the Walt Disney World Resort, presented a gift of $3 million on behalf of The Walt Disney Company to Arnold Palmer Hospital at the annual ONE NIGHT event in May. The gift will help fulfill a critical need in the treatment of young patients at Bert Martin’s Champions for Children Emergency Department & Trauma Center, enabling the purchase of a new 3T MRI machine. This will allow medical staff to more quickly diagnose and provide life-saving care for these young patients.

2007 - NOWLEADERSHIP & SPONSORSHIP

2013In 2013, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts sponsored the Tiny Baby Ball, benefitting the Alexander Center for Neonatology at Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies. In addition to sponsoring the event, Disney provided all of the decor, which was based on a storybook theme. Several Disney elements were on display for guests to enjoy throughout the evening. Disney’s whimsical accents and decor complemented the evening’s focus – tiny babies – perfectly!

“Here in Central Florida, Disney’s gift to Orlando Health will enable medical staff to more quickly diagnose children in their

greatest hour of need. We’re pleased to support Orlando Health’s commitment to providing life-saving care for young patients.”

The evening included a champagne reception and silent auction, chaired by community volunteer Terri Bullard, followed by a seated dinner and an inspirational live testimony. The program featured Alisa Pelot and Elizabeth Harrison, two teenagers whose lives were saved at ORMC after the SUV they were riding in flipped over on I-4 in 2011 (see page 2 for their story).

CORPORATE PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

For the last 15 years, CNL Financial Group has supported the mission of the Foundation in a variety of ways. Their continued dedication and involvement ranges from signature event sponsorship to leadership on boards and participation in the annual ONE NIGHT to Celebrate Excellence in Trauma Care.

Recognizing the importance of Level One trauma care for the Central Florida community, CNL has been a major supporter of ONE NIGHT, which celebrates excellence in trauma care. CNL has served as a lead sponsor for eight years, including five consecutive years as the event’s exclusive presenting sponsor.

Because of a deep appreciation that their gifts inspire others to give, CNL doesn’t just sponsor events. They invest in the mission of trauma care and further, they seek opportunities for other community leaders to hear the critical message about trauma care and prevention.

Thanks in large part to CNL’s leadership and investment, ONE NIGHT has helped inspire others to give outside of the event itself, raising nearly $1 million in additional funding for trauma care.

Headquartered in Orlando, CNL has remained committed to supporting and encouraging others to support ORMC because Orlando Health is the only healthcare organization in Florida operating a Level One Trauma Center that does not receive local public funding. They recognize that trauma can happen to anyone, including their associates, and exceptional trauma care is critical to community.

Throughout its involvement with ONE NIGHT, CNL’s total giving is approaching $500,000 of cash and in-kind gifts. Additionally, for the second year in a row, CNL’s team members will participate in the Walgreens International Dragon Boat Festival Presented by PepsiCo, which benefits the Orlando Health Foundation. This year, they will be bringing two boats to the event.

We cannot thank CNL enough for their continued partnership, philanthropic support and commitment to advancing the care at ORMC’s Level One Trauma Center and other Orlando Health programs and facilities.

More than Just a Sponsor, a True Community PartnerFor 15 years, CNL Financial Group has remained a dedicated partner of the Orlando Health Foundation and key supporter of Central Florida’s only Level One Trauma Center.

It wasn’t the birth that she had envisioned. Her husband wasn’t even in the room when she delivered their daughter. At 26 weeks of pregnancy, Melissa Harper gave birth to her “miracle,” Hattie, who weighed just one pound 13 ounces and

measured only 14 inches

long.

“I didn’t get to hold my baby on my chest immediately after I delivered her. But this was our experience, and it was meant to be that way,” Melissa says.

After Hattie was born, a nurse escorted Melissa’s husband Chris into the operating room, where he gave Hattie her first kiss. After that, Hattie was whisked away into the arms of several expert team members at Winnie Palmer Hospital.

For the next 80 days, Chris and Melissa developed an extended family with the doctors and nurses of the NICU.

Giving Back to the Place that Gave Them Hope

15K kick-off meeting. Knowing firsthand how critical the expert staff and latest technology is to all of the tiny babies in the NICU, she jumped at the opportunity to help with this annual fundraising effort. Melissa and Chris created a team and raised funds throughout the months leading up to the race. In total, they raised more than $1,500 for the future tiny babies that will need expert care in our NICU at Winnie Palmer Hospital.

“This place holds a special place in my heart. We believe the actions taken by Dr. Alexander and the nurses in the first few fragile minutes after Hattie was born saved her life,” Melissa says. “The advancements in neonatology make it possible for babies like Hattie, who wouldn’t have survived years ago, to have the opportunity to live happy and healthy lives. I will do everything I can to give back to the NICU

at Winnie Palmer Hospital for all they did

for our miracle

baby.”

Baby Hattie was born three months early and spent 80 days in the NICU in 2013. Shortly after Hattie’s birth, Team Miracle Hattie was formed to participate in the 2013 Miracle Miles race. The team raised more than $1,500 to give back to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies.

Hattie Harper was born at 26 weeks.

“We loved having primary nurses who really took ownership of Hattie’s care,” Melissa adds. “It sure made it easier – if leaving your baby can be described as easy – to leave. I will be forever grateful to them for taking care of her…and us.”

Not only did the nurses take a vested interest in Hattie and her parents, but the doctors were readily available to provide as much information as possible. “Dr. A [Gregor Alexander, MD] had such an incredible way of really listening to us and calming our fears,” Melissa adds.

“Mr. Palmer has been one of my sports idols since I was a young boy, and is the reason I started playing golf 52 years ago. I finally met him in November of 2011 and had a chance to see firsthand the amazing work that goes on in the hospitals that bear his name. It’s a pleasure to support that work and the exceptional care provided to the young patients they benefit.”

Just over three months before she would be blowing out three candles on her birthday cake, Evie Tanner was diagnosed with cancer. Medulloblastoma, a highly malignant brain tumor, starts in the base of the skull and tends to spread to other parts of the brain and the spinal cord.

Evie is just one of 2,000 children who are diagnosed with medulloblastoma each year. Fortunately, Evie survived her battle with this disease. Twice.

Thanks to Runway to Hope, the NeJame family and your support, Evie and her family were able to stay at home in Orlando during her second round of treatment. Philanthropic support enabled Dr. Amy Smith, pediatric neuro-oncologist, and her colleagues to join the team at Arnold Palmer Hospital.

UNEXPECTED DISCOVERYJennifer Tanner, Evie’s mom, had mentioned to the family pediatrician that Evie had been experiencing problems with her balance. In order to rule out the worst-case scenario, their pediatrician scheduled a scan of Evie’s brain.

“I remember that day so clearly,” Jennifer explains. “I remember the neurosurgeons came in very quickly. I don’t even know where they were but they were with us immediately. They showed us

the X-ray. It looked like a golf ball in Evie’s brain. I told them, ‘No, she can do all these things that other kids can’t do. That’s not what it is.’ I was trying to talk my way out of it [cancer].”

Evie was admitted and taken into surgery two days later to reduce the

swelling and fluid on her brain. She came out of surgery perfectly, but three days later she lost the ability to speak, walk and move because the area that was operated on controls those functions.

Despite this setback that would require therapy to regain those functions, Evie and Jennifer headed to Shands Hospital at University of Florida to receive a bone marrow transplant. “That’s where Dr. Smith was at that time and we were so grateful for her,” Jennifer adds. Evie received high-dose chemotherapy at Arnold Palmer Hospital following treatment at Shands Hospital.

NEW TREATMENT, DIFFERENT OUTCOMESAfter about a year and a half of clean scans, in November of 2010, Dr. Smith noticed a small growth. Evie’s second brain surgery went well and the doctors believed that at the age of five, Evie could begin receiving radiation treatment. Knowing it was an aggressive approach and Evie could experience many side effects later in life, doctors were still confident that this was the best course of action to give her a chance at survivorship, yet again.

“It [treatment] didn’t seem as bad as the first time,” Jennifer shares. “The radiation continues to work for a while afterwards and it wasn’t until about a year or two later that we really saw the developmental and cognitive effects of it. Right now, she looks like she’s five because it stopped her growth. The radiation destroyed her pituitary gland and thyroid gland’s ability to produce any further growth hormone.”

After two battles with brain cancer, nine-year-old Evie Tanner and her family are making good out of their experience.

They showed us the X-ray. It looked like a golf ball in Evie’s brain. I told them, ‘No, she can do all these things that other kids can’t do. That’s not what it is.’ I was trying to talk my way out of it [cancer].Jennifer Tanner, mom to Evie,a two-time cancer survivor.


ARNOLD PALMER MEDICAL CENTER NEWS

Mark NeJame, with two-time brain cancer survivor Evie Tanner on his shoulders, and his wife Josie honor children who are currently battling or have overcome cancer through Runway to Hope. This year’s signature event, the Runway to Hope Spring Fashion Soiree, raised funds that will go towards Runway to Hope’s $1 million pledge to Arnold Palmer Hospital.

HOPE AT HOME, ARNOLD PALMER HOSPITALThrough a generous gift from Runway to Hope and the NeJame family, we were able to create a brain tumor program dedicated to children, teenagers and young adults who are diagnosed with brain and spinal cord tumors. The program is led by Dr. Smith and team.

“I was thrilled when Dr. Amy [Smith] decided to come. She and her staff got Chris [her husband] and me through this more than anyone,” Jennifer says.

“Evie was one of the transition patients when she came over. Being at the dedication for the brain tumor unit was so amazing and so emotional.”

HELPING OTHER FAMILIES THROUGH RUNWAY TO HOPEAfter two battles with medulloblastoma, the Tanner family is dedicated to making good out of this unthinkable experience. “It changes the course of everything,” Jennifer says. “Chris and I are doing everything we can to make something great come out of this.”

For the past three years, Evie has participated in the Runway to Hope Spring Fashion Soiree. The event features more than 100 incredible and brave children, all who are currently battling or have overcome their cancer. Modeling much more than clothing, these courageous children walk the runway arm in arm with one of our dozens of national and local celebrity escorts as they show off their truest beauty of all – their unwavering spirits. Part of the funds raised will go towards Runway to Hope’s $1 million pledge to Arnold Palmer Hospital.

Evie isn’t really into fashion and clothes, but she loves this event because she likes Mark and Josie NeJame, Runway to Hope founders, and being on the runway with them. “Getting to tell people ‘thank you’ is big to her,” Jennifer adds.

Mark and Josie are great supporters of Arnold Palmer Hospital and the brain tumor program. They support this cause because “there is a moral obligation to give back to others when one is able. Our two daughters, who are six and eight, are our most precious gifts,” Mark and Josie say. “To imagine them going through what these other kids and their families endure is almost unthinkable. We are in a position to make a difference, so we do. Brain tumors and brain cancer are especially devastating.”

Because of Runway to Hope and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Program at Arnold Palmer Hospital, more than three times as many patients have been able to be treated right in Central Florida.

“Bringing the money to Arnold Palmer [Hospital] is huge,” Jennifer comments. “To see the brain tumor unit and Dr. Smith being a beneficiary of that funding is great because in her hands many things are possible. My husband and I truly believe if anyone can find a cure for our kids, it is her.”

John Bozard, president, Arnold Palmer Medical Center Foundation, Josie NeJame, Mark NeJame and Dr. Amy Smith, pediatric neuro-oncologist, celebrate the unveiling of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Program, supported by Runway to Hope and the NeJame Family.


Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children truly is the hospital that golf built. Mr. Palmer has an unmatched legacy for giving back and caring for the future of our community. This legacy is often the reason people are inspired to support the hospital.

Jim and Kathy Dickerson are just an example of such. They have no children and had never given much thought to what they wanted to do with their assets at the end of their lives. After talking with an attorney about the option of leaving a significant portion of their estate to a charity, they began to give serious thought to a worthy organization.

After learning more about Arnold Palmer Hospital, Jim and Kathy decided to make a significant gift through their estate plan. “We have both been fans of Mr. Palmer our entire lives,” says Jim. “When we discovered the hospital and realized how many children are helped because of Mr. Palmer, the decision became much easier.”

Once Jim and Kathy decided to provide for Arnold Palmer Hospital through their estate plan they relied on local estate planning attorney Susan Sullivan to help them accomplish their goals. “Susan was very easy to work with and helped us through the whole process. When she found out what we were doing with our estate she was excited to help us make a difference at the hospital.”

Estate giving is an important source of support for the hospital and provides much needed funds that will enable the hospital staff to provide life-saving care to Central Florida families for generations into the future and continue Mr. Palmer’s legacy of supporting the youngest members of the community.

Inspired to Give

Jim and Kathy Dickerson recently made a gift to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children through their estate plan.

Plan for the Future with a Charitable Bequest

Charitable bequests take many forms. The most flexible way to make significant gifts to Orlando Health may be through a will, living trust or beneficiary designation on a life insurance policy or retirement account. Bequests represent a significant current and future revenue source for Orlando Health and offer the flexibility for our donors to control their gift assets during their lifetime or make changes to their charitable plans in the future. Such gifts are wholly revocable during a donor’s lifetime and may provide significant tax savings.

OUTRIGHT BEQUESTSThis is a gift of a particular amount of money or item of property (for example: “I bequeath $25,000.”).

RESIDUARY BEQUESTSThe residue of an estate is the amount remaining after all specific bequests have been distributed; the exact amount will not be known until the final accounting is completed. The residue may pass as a percentage bequest (for example: “I give one-third of the residue of my estate.”).

CONTINGENT BEQUESTSYou can name a secondary beneficiary to receive property in the event the primary beneficiary is not alive (for example: “I bequeath $10,000 to my father, but if he has predeceased me, I direct the $10,000 be paid to . . .”).

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTSMost accounts at financial institutions can be made payable on death to a person or a charitable organization. Ask the manager of the institution how you can arrange to designate a death beneficiary for your CD, savings account, share accounts, etc. In some areas, this is accomplished through a “P.O.D.” (payable on death) designation. Securities in a brokerage account can be left through a “T.O.D.” (transfer on death) designation.

RETIREMENT ACCOUNTSYour estate can save both income taxes and estate taxes if you make a charitable organization beneficiary of part or all of your IRA or other retirement account. Family members might otherwise keep only 30 cents on the dollar, after taxes, from these assets.

To make a bequest, your financial advisor will need the Orlando Health Foundation Tax ID: 59-2244943.

PLANNED GIVING NEWS

Model trains, carpentry, agriculture, family and community. These were just a few of George Sorn’s favorite things. He and his wife Joyce were married for 59 years after having met on a blind date at the Central Florida Fair.

Their support of the community through Orlando Health began in the 1950s with Joyce volunteering weekly at ORMC. In 2002, George and Joyce created the Joyce G. Sorn Nursing Scholarship that provides financial assistance for nursing students. Today, 54 years later, Joyce continues to volunteer, now in the Emergency Department. They are now members of the Heritage Circle, which honors donors who have included the Foundation in their estate plans.

George was a well-respected agriculture expert in Florida and President Ronald Reagan appointed him to the national Commission on Agricultural Workers in 1989. He was also named to the Florida Agriculture Hall of Fame in 2002, 10 years after retiring as president for the Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association.

Outside of his work in the agriculture industry, George loved model trains and using his carpentry skills. He spent much of his free time building dollhouses for Joyce. Before his death, he purchased a kit to make a replica of Joyce’s childhood home, but unfortunately wasn’t able to complete it. To honor her husband, Joyce had it built and donated it for the silent auction at this year’s ONE NIGHT event, a fundraiser which benefits ORMC’s Level One Trauma Center.

George was an unassuming man who epitomized the virtue of selfless giving. He did not want recognition or fanfare for the things he did. He simply enjoyed helping wherever he could. George passed away on February 23, 2014 at the age of 86. He will always be remembered for his generosity and lasting contribution to helping others through his gifts to Orlando Health.

Remembering George Sorn

They don’t just declare a day in someone’s name without it being warranted. That was absolutely the case in 2011 when the city of Winter Park declared June 8 to be “Albert Covelli Day.”

Albert Covelli, a successful businessman in the Midwest and in Central Florida, devoted many years of his life to giving back and being involved in the community. As the founder of Covelli Enterprises, the largest McDonald’s franchisee before selling those stores and now the nation’s largest Panera Bread franchise and fourth largest franchise company, Albert believed in order to have a successful business, he needed to give back.

The patients of Orlando Health have greatly benefitted from Albert’s dedication to giving back. For several years, Panera Bread has served as the top sponsor for the annual Miracle Miles 5K and 15K race, which benefits the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Winnie Palmer Hospital. Each year, Albert’s Panera Bread franchises participate in the Pink Ribbon Bagel campaign, where proceeds from the sales are donated to help breast cancer patients at UF Health Cancer Center – Orlando Health. Panera Bread has also supported Orlando Regional Medical Center, which provides the region’s only Level One Trauma Center. Thousands of adults and babies have benefited from this generosity.

Albert was born on April 6, 1920 and served during World War II. Upon returning, he opened his own open-air market in Kenosha, Wisconsin, kicking off his endeavors in the business world. He eventually became a franchisee for McDonald’s Corporation.

At the age of 75, Albert became intrigued about a new restaurant, Panera Bread (called St. Louis Bread Co. at the time). After heavy research into the company and the customer experience, he took a risk. His involvement in his company extended into his 90s, when he still remained involved in the operation and the customer experience. He was inducted into Central Florida’s Hospitality Hall of Fame and was awarded the first-ever “Pioneer Award” by Panera Bread for his innovation and accomplishments.

Albert passed away on May 3, 2014 at the age of 94. He is survived by his wife, Josephine, daughter and Foundation board member, Annette Ford, son, Sam Covelli, six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. His legacy of giving back to the community will live on through his family. We will greatly miss Albert and his selfless acts of kindness and generosity to Orlando Health.

Remembering a VisionaryAlbert Covelli, founder of Covelli Enterprises, gave equally to his customers and employees, as well as the community in which he lived.


Orlando Health’s growing Medical Education Program trains future healthcare leaders and prepares them to provide quality and compassionate care to patients when they need it most. Since 2012, the Orlando Health Foundation and the Valencia Foundation have teamed up in a unique joint philanthropic effort to raise funds for the Medical Education Program at Orlando Health and scholarships at Valencia College.

This year’s Taste for Learning event, presented by ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, was hosted by Rosen Shingle Creek. Through the generous partnership of Jess Bailes, Orlando Health Foundation board member and executive vice president, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, everything from the wine, food and décor was completely underwritten through the collaboration of benefactors, whose generosity allows every dollar contributed to support the event’s mission.

For Orlando Health, the money raised will help fund the new 3,400 square foot Medical Education Conference and Simulation Center. This will centralize various simulators and training devices that were formerly spread around the downtown campus for easier access by medical students, residents, fellows and attending physicians. The center also contains four small breakout training rooms and a large procedure training room, equipped with a series of task-specific trainers to help practice skills needed for different laparoscopic surgeries and other procedures.

With these contributions, the Medical Education Program at Orlando Health will be better equipped to provide the best training possible. In the new center, space is also dedicated to a computer-controlled, fully interactive, life-like mannequin that emulates real patient experiences. A separate control room allows instructors to train resident physicians in a range of procedures and treatments, providing exposure to medical situations they may see infrequently during their clinical training.

Thank you to our sponsors, donors and volunteers for their continued partnership through this very special event!

Thanks to ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, Rosen Shingle Creek, Rosen Hotels & Resorts, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Walt Disney World Resort, Freeman and McCree General Contractors and Architects, this year’s Taste for Learning event raised needed funds for Orlando Health’s Medical Education Program.
