Memorial Hospital?
“Linda and I hope everyone will
support our hospital, which like
Blue Hill’s small mountain and its
lovely bay, shines like a jewel on
the coast of Maine.”
- Bob and Linda Slaven
“BHMH saved my life.
I am returning the favor.”

- Sara Leighton Sara and Richard Leighton
“Blue Hill Memorial Hospital is here Bob and Linda Slaven
for everyone in the community.
Healthcare affects everyone at
some time in their life. By giving to
the hospital, I feel like I can make a
small difference in the quality
of life for the peninsula
community. As an employee,
it’s easy to donate with
payroll deduction.”
- Sandy Smallidge, RN
“BHMH has been there for us.”

“Peace of mind. That is what we
have knowing that BHMH and
quality healthcare are nearby.
It is priceless.”

We are delighted to present you with our spring edition
of House Call, which is devoted to our patients and
donors. In this issue, we want to share some exciting
news about the direction of Blue Hill Memorial
Hospital, as well as the important role philanthropy
has played in the hospital’s success and its continued
importance as we move forward.
In our last issue of House Call, we discussed how, as
a member of EMHS, we are helping to pave the way
in developing new models of patient care that will
better position us for the major transformation in
healthcare that is currently underway. To summarize,
the new model aims to improve quality of care while
keeping people healthier and out of hospital inpatient
Frank Wanning and Greg Roraff beds. Recently, the Board of Trustees approved a
new strategic plan that will guide Blue Hill Memorial
Hospital into the future.
The strategic plan helps prepare Blue Hill to be a national model of excellence in rural healthcare delivery by 2020.
While more details of the plan will be forthcoming, our main focus is to enhance much needed primary and selected
specialty services for our patients. This enhancement will be accomplished through improved access to primary care
and an increase in related services such as behavioral health, specialty consultations, and telemedicine through our
relationship with Eastern Maine Medical Center.
BHMH’s primary care clinics deliver patient centered care that focuses on a team approach to providing high quality,
comprehensive primary care. The strength in this model is that it facilitates partnerships between patients, providers,
and other members of the care team, helping patients more easily navigate their path to better health. We look forward
to sharing more about this new model of care in the coming months!
While this “patient-centered” model of care is already in place in our primary care clinics, we know the clinic’s physical
space is not conducive for this new era of health delivery. A large piece of the strategic plan includes a master facilities
plan, which will better position us to deliver the best in patient services as we move toward our 2020 vision, including
a new strategically designed space for primary care. The goal is to ensure that each patient get the right care, at the
right time, and in the right place, and the proposed physical changes to Blue Hill Memorial Hospital will ensure that
goal is met. Once the campus plan receives final approval, our care teams will occupy much of a new addition that will
be connected to the hospital. This will centralize our primary and specialty care clinicians, rehabilitation and physical
therapy programs, behavioral health professionals, and infusion/ oncology services so that we can better provide the
healthcare services crucially needed by our community.
The philanthropic support from our friends and neighbors will play a necessary role in the fulfillment of our master
facility plan. We look forward to partnering with the community as we move forward with this ambitious strategic plan
to continue providing high quality, compassionate care in an ever changing healthcare environment. To that end, we
plan to begin a capital campaign feasibility study in early June, which will run through the end of August. The results of
this study will help determine the goal for this fundraising effort.
Thank you for your continued support.

Donor Profile:
Sara Sara’s
Since 2008, Blue Hill Memorial Hospital has hosted an annual
Fun Run. Last year, more than 180 participants ran for their
health and to raise money for the hospital’s wellness programs.
Sara Leighton, owner of Sara Sara’s, a retail clothing store with
locations in Blue Hill, Castine, and Gardiner participated for
the first time in 2012. Describing her running experience, Sara
commented, “Before last spring, I had never run farther than
the distance between two telephone poles.”
The BHMH Fun Run was the start of something bigger for Sara
and her customers. Originally, Sara thought of the run as a way

The Financial Year in Review
Over the last 12 months, Blue Hill Memorial Hospital has
continued to solidify its financial position. The period covered
by the accompanying graphs includes the first quarter of our
current fiscal year. As you will see, some year-over-year trends
are starting to emerge.
Clinic operations are becoming more efficient. More people
are using our primary care practices, a result of extra time and
hard work by medical staff and support personnel. Starting in
2013, the primary care clinics also added evening and early
morning appointments.
BHMH’s membership in EMHS continues to bring value. The
general and professional liability insurance program operated
by EMHS has decreased BHMH’s costs by 35 percent and new
communication technology has helped lower travel costs by
25 percent.
The state of the economy affects the hospital as much as it
affects everyone else. The cost of providing uncompensated
care has increased by 15 percent. State taxes, which were raised
to help close the State’s budget gap last year, are up 17 percent.
While it may seem difficult to describe any financial future as
bright, Blue Hill Memorial Hospital continues to work on the
fundamentals and competencies necessary to excel in this era
of healthcare reform.
