SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Jenny Ruemmele, director of the St. Luke’s McCall Foundation has requested a letter of support for an
advance care planning program and cardiac risk reduction project at St. Luke’s McCall. As part of the letter
of support, she is also requesting a city representative to participate on the steering committee as part of the
health neighborhood. Ms. Ruemmele also requested that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) be
signed by the City indicating the city would host at least one presentation each year in a city facility such
as legion hall.
St. Luke’s McCall Foundation’s Mission is to assist the hospital in its efforts to enhance the health of the
community and advance medical excellence. This is accomplished now through directed giving and grants
and into the future through the development and management of the endowment.
Advance care planning means that you plan ahead for your future health care. Even if you're healthy, it's
important to make a plan in case the time comes when you aren't able to make decisions for yourself. If you
have a serious health problem that is getting worse, making decisions now about end-of-life care can make
things easier for you and your family. Clearly stating your wishes can help ease your mind.
A draft letter and MOU are attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Approve the Memorandum of understanding and authorize the Mayor to sign the MOU and the letter
of support.
2. Appoint a Council Member to serve as the City Representative representative to participate on the
steering committee as part of the health neighborhood.
