Employees Giving Back
Employees at Memorial Hospital get it. They know the little things they do each day have the power to affect a great number of people. They give back to their community and to one another. In fact, over 60 percent of our employees participated in the Employee Charitable Campaign with gifts benefiting the United Way as well as the Foundation. Two of our more popular funds include the Patient’s Needs Fund and the Employee Emergency Fund.
Our employees provide care to their patients during their hospital stay and continue providing that care after discharge. Some of our patients were discharged from the hospital without the money for transportation, medications, or equipment needed for a full recovery. As a result, we established the Patient’s Needs Fund to help defray these expenses. Both employees and outside donors are encouraged to assist the Patient Needs Fund through charitable donations.
In addition to patient care, employees also care for one another. Created by employees for employees, the Employee Emergency Fund through the Foundation was established to help fellow coworkers with unforeseen and unexpected emergencies, including fires, floods, and sudden serious illnesses. A committee meets as needed to review applications for funds to cover expenses such as medical and emergency housing repairs.
If you would like to learn more about these funds or would like to donate to these funds, please call the Foundation Office at 419-334-6667.
