Greatest Need

Patient Care Improvement Projects In 2021 SMH’s Employee Partners put their contribution toward multiple equipment upgrades, directly enhancing the comfort and care for patients in numerous departments at SMH. The equipment purchases include patient recliners, transport chairs, a patient portable lift system, and new Stryker Stretcher. Over 475 staff members participated in the hospital’s Employee Partner Program and donated nearly $50,000 through biweekly payroll deductions. This unique philanthropic program allows SMH employees to vote on a strategic project in the hospital’s area of greatest need, with the monies accumulated over the past year. “We are so grateful for our employee’s each and every day,” expresses Chief Development Officer Cody Sinclair. “This funding opportunity is just another example of how our employees care deeply for our patients, their comfort, and the overall community we live in. Their kindness and care is what makes this program and SMH so rewarding to be a part of.”
