Annual Giving Campaign
Compassion is at the very heart of patient care and sees no age or gender. At Penn Highlands Healthcare, We recognize, that our community members have basic human needs. Needs that go beyond a discharge from the hospital or their stay in a long term care facility. We ask for your support and generosity as we embark down a path to support the compassionate needs of our patients. Please consider making a gift to our annual giving campaign, for the purchase of compassionate care items, to support our community’s needs. With you as our partner, we can adapt to the ever changing needs of our community, when you and your loved ones need us most.
Annual Giving Campaign Raises Over $152,000!
Thank you to more than 360 donors who made a generous contribution to the Penn Highlands Healthcare annual giving campaign. Because of you, more than $152,000 was raised to benefit the health system's emergency departments, as well as residents living in our nursing homes and being cared for in their homes.
The focus of the campaign "Compassionate Care for our Communities," put an emphasis on the need to provide patients with more than just caring for their health, but also recognizing that patients have other human needs too -- needs that go beyond a discharge from the hospital or their stay in a long term care facility. A mother may need a spare set of clothing as she and her child are flown hours away from home for critical care. A man may have tattered clothing, which is not able to be worn home after a visit to the emergency department. Lastly, an elderly patient may need a new robe or blanket.
Donations raised will be distributed to the eight Penn Highlands hospital emergency departments as well as three nursing homes and Penn Highlands Healthcare at Home.
Thank you again for your generous donations and watch for impact stories later this year!
