Dear Sisters Hospital Friends & Donors, Since joining Sisters Hospital Foundation in May, 2000 as Executive Director, it has been my pleasure to provide staff leadership and support for a engaged board, a professional fundraising staff, and serve as a leader within Catholic Health. Hospitals are often glamorized in television shows – daytime dramas, nighttime series, and more recently, a number of "reality shows” have focused on what happens at a hospital. What none of the television shows seem to capture is how very vulnerable most patients are when they are hospitalized. Outside of familiar surroundings, usually not able to get any "rest," having a number of people in and out of their room, often to take blood, check a vital statistic, or ask about a medication - it is an overwhelming experience for most patients. I believe this is where both campus' of Sisters Hopspital are different and unique to our community. The dedicated staff at Sisters, regardless of job title, seniority or department, or campus, go out of there way to help patients get well, to keep families informed and to support their fellow co-workers. As a donor to Sisters Hospital and/or the St. Joseph Fund,your gift helps this collective group deliver quality care to all of our patients. On behalf of our patients, their families, and our dedicated staff, thank you. I am honored to continue to serve in this challenging capacity and look forward to enhancing our impact at both campuses. Our mission remains the same: enhancing the care of patients, providing necessary equipment and programs to dedicated staff, and serving as strong stewards of donor's contributions. With gratitude, Julie R. Snyder |
