ANY HOSPITALS
have a separate nonprofit
entity called a foundation
that helps acquire necessary funds to
improve the hospital and provide health
care to the community. Memorial Hos-
pital Foundation is one such entity.
The Memorial Hospital Founda-
tion is the philanthropic arm of the
hospital that operates as a 501(c)(3)
organization. All contributions stay in
our local area to improve the lives of
our citizens.
By raising funds through grants,
private donations, fundraisers, etc.,
the foundation can meet the health-
care needs of the hospital and the
community.
Foundation successes in 2011
●
●
A grant acquired by the founda-
tion helped to purchase a 64-slice CT
scanner, which began operation
in April 2011. The scanner can gather
a high-resolution image of a heart,
brain or both lungs in less than
five seconds.
●
●
The Paint the Town Red Gala was
the foundation’s big event of 2011.
It raised funds used to purchase a
registration kiosk and a BiliSoft LED
Phototherapy System for newborns
with jaundice.
●
●
Project Pink was the foundation’s
awareness and fundraising campaign
in October in observation of National
Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
●
●
SEEDS (Sharing Every Employee's
Dedicated Spirit) is an employee giv-
ing program that began in September
2010. It raised over $7,000 from
hospital employees, funds that helped
purchase six pieces of hospital equip-
ment in 2011.
Looking ahead in 2012
●
●
The Boots & BBQ Gala will raise
funds to provide the hospital with a
new nurse call system. The new system
will give our nurses the tools they need
to respond quickly and efficiently to
patient calls and will help them moni-
tor response times. The system also
includes a quieter intercom, making
patient care areas more restful and
favorable to healing.
●
●
The foundation is in the process of
applying and finalizing more grants to
help fund community health programs.
●
●
Project Pink will kick off its third
annual breast cancer awareness and
fundraising campaign in October.
The Memorial Hospital Founda-
tion is committed to building goodwill,
encouraging community support, and
to conducting a philanthropic program
that will enhance the mission and ser-
vice of Manchester Memorial Hospital.
In support of equipment and programming to
build a stronger future for the people of Clay,
Jackson, Owsley and surrounding counties.
