r. Russell C. McLucas was more than a local family physician. He

was a teacher, whether he knew it or not. When diagnosing something unusual with a patient in his office, he would often pause to call in the office staff to show them and explain the nature of the infirmity. “The patient would learn and we would, too,” explained daughter Stephanie Crouse, who served as a member of her father’s front office staff. “In the evening, he would go home and grab a bite to eat, and then go back to the Fulton County Medical Center. He would hang out in acute care and the ER...that’s when he did a lot of his teaching.” His willingness to teach and train is still alive today through the Russell C. McLucas, MD,

Scholarship Fund, an endow-ment trust that was quickly established by his wife after the beloved doctor’s death in 1998. It annually awards a post-gradu-ate stipend to a student pursu-ing a direct delivery patient care career. In April, the McLucas Scholar-ship Committee gave the McLu-cas Scholarship Fund’s rights to the Fulton County Medical Center Foundation to continue in perpetuity the awarding of post-graduate stipends. “It is a tremendous honor to accept this responsibility be-cause of who Dr. McLucas was and what he stood for,” said Mike Straley, Executive Director of the FCMC Foundation. “We want to market and promote the Russell C. McLucas, MD, Schol-arship Fund because it’s such a good cause.” The FCMC Foundation has

its own scholarship program that awards stipends to graduating high school seniors and cur-rent college students who are pursuing health care-related careers. The McLucas Scholarship Fund will complement the current scholar-ship program with its post-grad-uate requirements. “Our committee looked at the medical center’s scholar-ship program and the nice job they’ve done with it,” said Clyde Bookheimer, a member of the McLucas Scholarship Committee. “Their scholarship program has access to the stu-

I was walking down the hallway one afternoon last month when I heard this little voice saying, “Come on, Cole.” As I turned the corner, there was Cambree Fletcher encouraging her big brother to keep up with her, much to the delight of their mom Tracey. Cambree was walking with-out any assistance. The key word here is walking. As you might remember, this is the little girl who needed the posterior gait trainer, in essence a walker for toddlers, a year ago. It was right around her birthday in early April that she took her first steps on her own. And she’s not looking back - see the photo on this page of Cam-bree and Cole. It is with great appreciation to the therapists who have worked with Cambree over the past 12 months and an equally impressive tribute to the little girl whose willpower continues to amaze all of us. ---------------------------With that said, this issue of InSpire is dedicated to your gifts in action. They are being used in the emergen-cy department, the wound center, acute care, long term care, essentially every department, and, of course, for Cambree’s benefit, in physical therapy. As you read this newsletter, please know your gift matters and it’s valu-able to the sustainability of our pro-grams. Your gifts better the lives of your family, friends and neighbors. ---------------------------Monica Mellott introduced herself on April 16, holding an envelope in one hand and extending the other for a handshake. “My father (Frederic Joel Knepper) left the medical center money in his will,” said Monica. “Here is the check.” When someone is kind enough to present a gift in person, I want to get to know them better; I ask them about their “story.” Come to find out, Monica’s grandfather, Joel Knep-per, was an original board member

dents’ applications for awarding schol-arships, which is a huge benefit. We felt we accomplished our purpose of getting it up and running, and maybe it was time for us to put it into another set of good hands.” “The scholarship idea was my mom’s idea and instead of flow-ers, she asked that memorial con-tributions be made to the McLu-cas Medical Scholarship Fund,” said Crouse. “The community responded back in 1998 and 1999 by contributing over $30,000.” Straley said the goal is to contin-ue to grow the fund so that more students can benefit from the scholarship while pursuing their career aspirations like McLucas, whose legacy needs to be kept alive. “It was never a job to him, it was his avocation,” said Crouse. “Someone once told me: ‘Any-body can be a physician, few can

be a doctor.’ I truly believe that about my father. He loved learn-ing and he loved teaching and he would gently guide us through his knowledge and understanding.”

at FCMC back in 1949. Monica’s father died in January - spry at age 82, she said he could be found many days cutting firewood on his farm in Hustontown. “Dad was a farmer who lived in Fulton County all his life, who thought very highly of the medical center. He wanted this money to be used to help others.” This is another example of some-one helping others through a bequest, which is simply the act of giving or leaving a gift from your es-tate, a transfer of cash, securities, or other property, made through your estate plans, which is usually a will. Most people through their financial advisor and/or attorney leave a gift in this manner. ---------------------------Speaking of gifts, as you probably read on the first page, the McLucas family and its Scholarship Com-mittee have entrusted the Fulton County Medical Center Foundation with their post-graduate scholarship program. This is a wonderful gift in memory of a wonderful gentleman. There are so many wonderful stories from so many people about the man many simply call, “Doc.” This endowed post-graduate scholarship will help students who are pursuing a direct delivery care career. Our hope is to grow the fund to offer financial assistance for the future healthcare professionals with the promise that a few will return to Fulton County to practice their trade. ---------------------------I will end my column much like I started it: with a brief overview about another young lady - 9 year-old Jessica from Biglerville, PA - which is a 90-minute drive east of Fulton County. She was treated in our Wound Center for severe burns. The story is compelling on several fronts, but it’s equally heartwarm-ing because of the care she received from the Wound Center staff and Dr. Freeman. You can read her story on page 4. Your gifts in 2013 made the Wound Center possible and for Jes-sica (and many others) to be healed. Blessings,

im and Barbara Barlow attend church regu-larly, so when they walk

through the doors of the Fulton County Medical Center three times a week to work out in cardio pulmonary re-hab, they feel it’s comparable to their Sundays. “I was thinking about what I could compare it to - it’s re-ally like talking about church because people come to Fulton County Medical Center to get blessed,” said Jim. “You come here to get better, improve yourself physically, but for some, it’s mentally thera-peutic as well. You interact with people and those people become your friends. You get to know them personally and their stories...maybe they are recover-ing from surgery, maybe they just want to stay active – whatever their story, it’s a healing environ-ment in many ways.”Everyone knows your name After Jim had open heart surgery in 2010, it was recom-mended to the Southern Hunt-ingdon resident he go through a rehabilitation process. He showed up at FCMC and was welcomed with open arms. The friendliness helped ease his apprehension about the whole notion of go-ing through the 12-week closely monitored sessions.“Patti (Hess) and Kim (Harnish) were there to make me feel at ease,” said Jim. “They are two special ladies who are very good at their jobs, but also caring people who become your friends. It’s the reason cardiac rehab at this medical center is special.” He quickly learned that the room was filled with people with similar journeys, others with entirely different ones, but one

thing became quickly clear. “It became group therapy,” said Jim. “I learned this is a place of friend-ship, kindness and caring people. It’s a place you can walk the halls (as part of the wellness program) and not be asked questions. It doesn’t have that hospital institu-tional smell to it.” Throughout his 36 sessions, he also learned that he was making great progress from a physical standpoint with the structured program that was closely charted. “I made tremendous progress and my heart was improving from the valve replacement and two by-passes.” He encouraged his wife, who has three stents and a pacemaker, to join him so they could work out together. Barbara experienced the same warmth and “cohesiveness” as she explained, especially last year when she needed therapy after she fell and broke her shoul-der. It required a rehab assignment with the physical therapy staff.“Look at my shoulder,” Barbara said as she showed the circular

Jessica Montoya and her family are agradecido to

Fulton County Medical Center’s Wound Center. They are grateful because of the care and concern that was shown to the 9-year-old Biglerville resident after an overturned pot of boiling water severely burned her abdomen and upper thigh areas. “She was treated in Get-tysburg, but needed follow-up wound care services and couldn’t get them from other centers that were close to her because of insurance hurdles,” said Beth Lopez, Director of FCMC’s Wound Center. “Imag-ine having your daughter at home with severe burns and in pain without any pain medica-tion and nowhere to turn. We received a call from her primary care physician. They were all pretty desperate.”“Doing the Right Thing” Lopez said she always sub-scribed to the “do the right thing” theory and it was sup-ported by her supervisor and the FCMC CEO. She consulted with Dr. James Freeman, who just days earlier had joined her staff, and would be treat-ing Jessica. Hours later, Jessica walked through the door as the first pediatric patient at the one-year-old Wound Center. She was greeted with smiles and given an FCMC teddy bear. It would be the first of a month-long series of treat-ments. “I consulted with the Lehigh Valley Burn Center, which gave me some advice and we formulated a treatment plan for Jessica,” said Dr. Free-man. “She was burned very

badly. Burns are arguably the most painful thing, ranking right up there with child birth, kidney stones and broken bones. We got her pain under control and the burns were attended to...Beth did a great job of distracting Jessica during the debridement process (cutting away the dead tissue).”Speaking Spanish Lopez kept the fourth grader’s attention focused on such topics as her favorite singer Selena and included a Spanish lesson with each visit. “She is learning Span-ish in school so she was given an assignment of learning three new Spanish words for each re-turn visit,” said Lopez. “I know the first debridement wasn’t very pleasant and the intensive dressings initially were very painful for her, so we tried to make it as comfortable as possi-ble for her. She and Dr. Freeman developed a good rapport.”Healed And Happy “They explained everything to me each time and were profes-

sional and courteous in doing it,” said Nicole Montoya, Jessica’s mother, who made the 90-minute one-way trip sometimes three times a week. “We knew what to expect every step of the way; Jessica was well cared for by the staff.” “He was nice and so was Miss Beth,” said Jessica. “I liked it here because they made me feel better.” The affected areas were mois-turized and new islands of skin started to develop. “We got the skin to re-grow and it doesn’t ap-pear that any skin grafts will be needed,” said Dr. Freeman. Jessica was released in late April, one month after the fright-ful experience. She is back at school, but not yet allowed to run or jump; she is, however, better versed in Spanish. “People get very good care here at Fulton County Medical Center,” said Dr. Freeman. “The patient is always at the top of the list, and in this case, finances were put aside to provide the care that was needed.”

Dr. Freeman and Jessica Montoya are all smiles after her recovery.

movement and mobility. “Boy, did I get great treatment.”Another kind of treatment The Barlows moved to Huntingdon County from West Virginia in 1975 after Barbara was diagnosed with breast can-cer. They moved to her family’s farm and commenced to work-ing the land in between trips to Hershey Medical Center. Her prognosis was bad and chemo-therapy had just been intro-duced to combat breast cancer. They gave her two years to live at best. That was 39 years ago. Today she is very active in the commu-nity and the couple of 44 years - they “met in a rock laboratory” at West Virginia University. His major of geology was her minor in college. Now they raise sheep on the same farm.Community minded When Fulton County Medical Center Foundation held its an-nual dinner auction in March, the Barlows were in attendance. Barbara serves on the board at Community State Bank of Orbisonia. She represented the financial institution that night. When a pair of NFL tickets to a New York Giants game became available, she bid on them and

won them and then donated the money back to the FCMC Foun-dation – four times! “Our bank is a small commu-nity bank that gives back to the community,” she explained. “We take care of our customers be-cause they take care of us – just like Fulton County Medical Center. When I saw the tickets were donated by Dr. Mandak, it made it even more special because that evening was about raising money for new cardiac equipment, and he is one of the best cardiologists around.” Jim added, “Our daughter Abby was in nurse practitioners

training and worked with Dr. Mandak; we got to know him quite well. You have some excel-lent doctors who travel here because they want to serve this community - it speaks well of them and for this medical facil-ity.” Barbara said, “In my opinion this medical center is a quality institution...I know some places with bigger populations that don’t have the services or facili-ties like we have here.” Jim agreed, “An amazing set-ting, too. I drive into the park-ing lot during the fall and the sunlight hits the fall leaves, it’s spectacular...” He continued with a laugh, “I drove in this morning and was wondering if the place was giving out free knee joints or something because the parking lot was full.” Together, they agreed, “It’s uplifting.” Without the church hymnal.

Jim and Barbara, who attribute their recovery process to the PT/OT Gym and

its coordinators, say it’s also an area of friendship and kindness.

Dinner Auction Delights Sold-Out CrowdEvent Raises $34,500 For Cardiac Equipment As Reed and Overly Entertain Audience

The community’s support of the 11th Annual Fulton County Medical Center

Foundation’s Dinner Auction was fully displayed on March 8 when

over 250 guests packed the Hus-tontown Fire Hall for an evening of fun, food and bid-ding on over 210 items. The event raised

over $34,500 for cardiac equip-ment. “We are still very blessed to live in a community that supports its local hospital,” said Jason Hawkins, CEO. “The way our res-idents come out and support an auction for much needed equip-ment for our ER, OR and inpatient services is very much appreci-ated. The new cardiac monitoring equipment will provide real time patient monitoring of our custom-ers to our nurses and physicians when you arrive in our ER and during the inpatient stay. This lat-

est technology will improve our quality of care, provide better outcomes and reduce the cost of providing care to our community.” The event was sponsored by Jacoby-Pawloski-Trexler Architects. “These folks stepped up to the plate and said they wanted to be the event sponsor, which helped us tremendously from the outset,” said Foundation Execu-tive Director Mike Straley, who noted that Peck Insurance, Martin Oil, State Rep. Jesse Topper and an anonymous donor (whose gift was in honor of Craig Paylor) were also supporting sponsors. Tom Duf-fey of Towne Fram-ing donat-ed at cost the fram-ing and matting for the assorted pieces of artwork that were given to the event. Auctioneer Lyle Reed and em-cee Helen Overly entertained the crowd during the traditional auc-tion with their banter and antics during the live auction.

One of the most memorable mo-ments came midway through the live auction when Com-munity State Bank of Orbisonia donated back four times the New York Giant tickets that were given by Dr. Mandak and his family. “Community State Bank didn’t know when to stop, but eventually bought them,” laughed Straley. “They said the event was to benefit new cardiac equipment and Dr. Mandak is a cardiologist, so they wanted to support the cause. Their goodwill showcased the eve-ning. Once again this signature event showed how people come together for one cause. From our many FCMC volunteers and their families to the individual and business donors, to the patrons who bought tickets, this is a tribute to them because only together, as a community, can this event be successful.”

EnDorsersFCMC Partners With CVBCA To Offer Area MammoGifts Perhaps the timing was a bit off, but the end result is a win-win situation for Fulton County residents and the Fulton County Medical Center as it has partnered with the Cumberland Valley Breast Cancer Alliance to offer free mammograms. The Fulton County Medical Center Foun-dation first contacted Sharon Brosious, CVBCA Director, last October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Needless to say she was quite busy, but expressed an inter-est in offering their services to FCMC. “The Cumberland Valley Breast Care Al-liance is very happy to bring their Mam-moGift Project to Fulton County Medical Center,” said Brosious. “Working together with FCMC, we anticipate being able to as-sist our friends in the Fulton County area. Women that are uninsured or underinsured may apply to the program to receive mam-mography services at their home medical facility.” For more information, contact FCMC at 717-485-6107.

FCMC Foundation Becomes A Member of National Alzheimer’s Group

Breast Cancer Survivors Unite At FCMC Reception Over 40 people attended the re-ception that kicked off 67 Women, 67 Counties: Facing Breast Cancer In Pennsylvania. Among those were 12 local breast cancer survivors. Three of those survivors shared their story with the packed room of onlookers. Billie Piper Hammond told of how she checked herself while watching Oprah, then later ap-peared on the show after calling them to thank them for sharing information that ultimately saved her life. Betty Shelley poignantly told of her diagnosis and the importance of getting a second opinion. Gwen Morral shared about the importance of getting regular checkups and the difference it made in her life.

For those who want to make a tax-deductible donation to either one of these programs, checks can be made payable to the FCMC Foundation, indicating on the memo line it’s designated for a the particular program. You may also go online to www.fcmcpa.org and click the “make a gift”

Fulton County Medical Center Foundation was recently accepted into membership by the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA). “The AFA offers a wide range of educational materials, services, grant opportunities and will be an excellent resource for our local Alzheimer’s Support Group,” said Mike Straley, Executive Director of the FCMC Foundation.

Think Twice Before Passing Assets to Loved OnesFor many of us, 401(k)s, IRAs and retirement plans constitute the bulk of our net worth, aside from our homes. Will these hard-earned dollars provide more comfort for the future of our loved ones? Maybe not.

More than likely, a substan-tial portion of your savings is in your retirement plan. As you plan your estate, you may be considering how to use those savings to benefit loved ones. But did you know that your most valuable assets may also constitute the biggest tax bill for your heirs?

Reality CheckA national research study shows that more than half of Americans aged 30 and older are largely unfamiliar with the way in which taxes can eat up the value of their retirement accounts when they name a loved one as ben-eficiary.

FACT: Income and estate taxes can consume nearly 60 percent of retirement plan funds when inherited by a loved one.

While the majority of people will pay less than 40 percent, anyone who inherits retire-ment plan funds will be subject to income tax on all withdrawals. Although there are ways in which spouses (and, to a lesser extent, oth-er heirs) can defer taxes on these assets when they defer receipt of the funds, they, too, are subject to income tax when they make with-drawals.

PlannedGiving

A Win-Win AlternativeAn estate planner can help you structure the inheritance so family members pay the least taxes. Experts sometimes

advise putting a charitable component into the plan because qualified charitable organi-zations, like Fulton County Medical Center Foundation, receive donations tax-free. Un-like family members, we receive the full value of your retirement plan assets—none is lost to taxes. Plus you can rest easy knowing you can change your mind at any time up until your death

Two Tax-Savvy Options for Leaving Your Assets BehindIf you’re determined to eliminate taxes alto-gether on your retirement plan assets, you could leave them to Fulton County Medical Center Foundation and build an inheritance for your loved ones from other less-taxed as-sets such as life insurance or property.

If much of your nest egg is tied up in a retire-ment plan, you may have little else to leave to family. In that instance, a more reasonable alternative may be to designate a percentage of your retirement plan accounts to us, thus taking greater control over how the funds in these accounts will be used while still provid-ing for family and friends.

For more information on planned giving please visit our website at www.fcmcpa.org/planned-givingThis is a robust section that carefully explains the many options of planned giving, regard-less of age. You can easily navigate through the information to learn about the various ways to give, what to give, goals and gifts, comparing the gifts and planning by age. There are downloadable e-brochures and plenty of free planning guides. Please note this infor-mation serves as a guide and you should always consult with your financial advisor.
