2 For more than 40 years, people have turned to Call for Help when they face crisis and hardship. Today, Call for Help focuses on four distinct areas of need with quality programs that make a difference: Equipping homeless young mothers with skills and support to live independently; Responding 24 hours a day to victims of sexual assault, providing counseling to adult and child victims, and educating the community in sexual assault awareness; Preparing homeless adults with mental illness to live successfully in the community; and Connecting families and individuals with assistance for rent, utilities and other essentials. Our programs help people make permanent changes so they can break the cycles of homelessness and mental illness and heal from trauma. I invite you to visit our campus to see first-hand how we empower people to change their lives for the better, and find out how you can get involved.

Join us by investing in the nature of Southwestern Illinois. David C. Eustis President and CEO HeartLands Conservancy Hospice of Southern Illinois has provided hospice services for a number of my family members. While each hospice experienced was unique, the professionalism and care given was consistently excellent. Hospice of Southern Illinois is a not-for-profit hospice serving the people of this community for over 30 years. Part of that service includes the commitment to operate a beautiful, state-of-the-art hospice home. This home, named Relais Bonne Eau, located in Edwardsville, IL was built so that people who need hospice care would have a place to call home. I have been so touched by the end-of- life care provided by Hospice of Southern Illinois that I have chosen to be a volunteer for over 15 years. I currently work with Facility Dog, Magnum, who provides unconditional love to patients and their families. Hospice is a choice. My hospice of choice is Hospice of Southern Illinois. To become a trained volunteer, support one of the community fundraising events, or to donate in support of patient care and programs, please call for more information.

4 Construction of Memorial Hospital East, a 94-bed, $124 million hospital in Shiloh, Illinois is on schedule with the anticipated opening in April Memorial East will have all private patient suites, an emergency department, diagnostic services including imaging and cardiac catheterization, and intensive care unit. The hospital also will feature a Family Care Birthing Center as well as inpatient and outpatient surgical services. When plans to build Memorial were approved by the Illinois Health Services and Facilities Review Board in 2011, it was one of just two new hospitals approved by the state in more than 20 years. The completion of Memorial Hospital East in 2016 will pave the way to create 216 all private patient suites at Memorial s main campus in Belleville. Our patients expect more privacy, said Anne Thomure, Memorial Foundation s executive director. Research has shown that private rooms make people happier and healthier which promote the healing process. Memorial is a hospital of, by and for the community. Its rich history is rooted in dedicated community, business and church leaders who worked together raising funds decades ago to make Memorial a reality. Memorial Foundation invites you to invest in the future of our region by making a charitable contribution to Progress Rooted In Tradition the Capital Campaign for Memorial. A variety of named gift opportunities exist at both Memorial Hospital East and at the Belleville campus. Pledges can be made for up to five years.

St. John s Community Care is an outreach ministry of St. John Evangelical United Church of Christ in Collinsville. St. John s is able to reach out to families struggling alone to offer hope. We care for people who have given so much to our communities, we feel the right thing to do is to help them to live out their lives with dignity and respect. St. John s strives to make a positive difference in the lives of older and disabled adults through direct services that include non-medical inhome care; adult day programs in Collinsville and Edwardsville; Alzheimer s support group; medical equipment loans, education and outreach. Rich Skelton, Past Board Member & Active Volunteer Sherry Skelton, Board Member St. John s Community Care To learn more or to make a donation visit My prayers were answered when I was referred to St. John s Community Care. I had to find home care for my mentally challenged brother. I had a full time job. I tried several other home care facilities before St. John s and they did not work out. The day I met the caregiver director from St. John s I knew it was the one. I have been using St. John s for home care for over 12 years. They have made my life so much easier and my brother continues to be happy with their care. In 2011 my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer s. It was determined that he could stay at home but needed to attend a day program to keep his mind active. St. John s was there to help me again. He enjoys the activities and seeing all the friends he has made since joining the group. In addition to the care services, they also provide me with additional resources that give me more balance and hope. I cannot say enough great things about St. John s Community Care and all their services. It is like being part of a caring and loving family. Barbara Highlander
