SPOONER FAMILY ASSURES KATHY’S HOUSE WILL RECEIVE SUPPORT INTO THE FUTURE

Since their children were young, the Vogel family were close friends with the Spooner family. Both families were active members of the same church in Mequon. After Kathy Vogel Kuettner passed away and Dick and Judy founded Kathy’s House, the Spooners were happy to be among the initial contributors, sponsoring many of the guest bedrooms.

The Spooners continued to be generous annual donors to Kathy’s House. In addition, five years ago the Spooners arranged for a segment of their main trust at the Greater Milwaukee Foundation to continue to benefit Kathy’s House beyond their lifetime.

“This has given me a great piece of mind,” said Jack Spooner. “We wanted to know for sure that Kathy’s House would forever be a beneficiary. As long as Kathy’s House existed, even long after we were gone, we wanted to be a part of their important mission.”

“I hope other supporters of Kathy’s House will join me in creating a planned gift that will help secure the future of the House,” continued Jack.

“When you name Kathy’s House as a benefi-ciary of your will or other estate plan, you create an enduring expression of your values while providing greatly needed support in the future,” states Patty Metropulos, Executive Director. “While these gifts may not involve an immediate, irrevocable transfer of cash or property, they do call for careful planning with the help of a qualified professional and we can help with that.”

If you have already named Kathy’s House as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement plan assets, or are considering doing so, please contact Executive Director Patty Metropulos at 414-453-8290 so that we can carry out your wishes as intended and thank you for your gift.

FROEDTERT & THE MEDICAL COLLEGE OF WISCONSINRANKED FOURTH IN THE NATION

“The growth of Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin has also led to tremendous growth at Kathy’s House,” said Patty Metropulos, Executive Director of Kathy’s House. “Doctors appreciate the care and affordable lodging we provide to so many of their patients and families from outside the area. We are proud to partner with an organization who is a leading force in healthcare today.”

In 2016, 94% of guests at Kathy’s House were referred from Froedtert Hospital.

For the second straight year, Froedtert Hospital ranks among the nation’s top performing academic medical centers, according to an annual study by Vizient an alliance of U.S. academic medical centers and hospitals.

The only Wisconsin hospital to be recognized, Froedtert Hospital rose in the new national rankings to No. 4 up from No. 5 in 2015. The Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network also was the only state health system recognized for excellence in outpatient care, and was one of just five organizations nationwide to earn this honor.

“Of the many health care quality rankings out there today, we view Vizient’s as most meaningful because it evaluates all care provided at our hospital rather than just a certain subset of patients or conditions, which is the methodology sometimes used by other ranking organizations,” said Froedtert Hospital President Cathy Buck. “In addition to this comprehensive approach, Vizient also stringently compares us to our national academic medical center peers in areas that truly make a difference in improving health care quality.”

The 8 top-performing academic medical centers that earned Vizient’s 2016 Bernard A. Birnbaum, MD, Quality Leadership Award are: • University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics • NYU Langone Medical Center • Mayo Clinic Hospital-Rochester • Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Froedtert Hospital • Rush University Medical Center • WVU Medicine West Virginia University Hospitals • Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center • Cedars-Sinai Health System

More than 100 academic medical centers and 124 hospitals participated in the study. The ranking is published in the Vizient 2016 Quality and Accountability Study, which assesses performance in quality and safety across a broad spectrum of patient activities. The study criteria reflect the National Institute of Medicine’s six domains of care: safety, timeliness, effectiveness, efficiency, equity and patient-centeredness.

For outpatient care, the Froedtert & MCW health network ranked second nationally among the five health care organizations earning Vizient’s Ambulatory Care Quality and Accountability Award: • NYU Langone Medical Center, Faculty Group Practice • Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin • University of Minnesota Physicians • Denver Health • University Health Care, University of Utah Medical Group

The ranking methodology measured the quality of outpatient care in five areas: access to care, capacity and throughput, quality and efficiency, continuum of care and equity.
