On Thursday, December 12, 2024, Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation hosted its annual holiday breakfast to honor and celebrate Employee Partners for their contributions to the hospital’s Foundation. During the event, Partners vote to fund a strategic project in the hospital’s area of greatest need, with the funds accumulated over the past year. In 2024, 622 employee partners participated in this unique philanthropic program and donated $51,948 through biweekly payroll deductions.
This year, at the Annual Partner Celebration, Employee Partners at Sheridan Memorial Hospital made a significant contribution to our community hospital by voting to support the hospital’s Behavioral Health Campaign for a second consecutive year. Their contributions to the Growing for You Campaign now total over $100,000, demonstrating their commitment to improving healthcare for the community. SMH employees’ generosity and dedication to improving patient care daily make Sheridan Memorial Hospital a truly special place.
The Growing for You Campaign, which kicked off in 2023, features multiple phases that impact several areas of Sheridan Memorial Hospital. The project began with the renovation of space on the hospital’s lower level in order to relocate the internal pharmacy and materials management. That phase of the project along with updates to the Emergency Department were completed in 2024.
Currently, renovations for a new Pediatric Unit are underway and will be followed by changes to a portion of the inpatient medical/surgical unit and construction of the new Behavioral Health Unit.
The Employee Partner Giving program at Sheridan Memorial Hospital has a long history of making a positive difference in patient care. The program was established in 2004 by a group of dedicated employees who wanted to give back to their community. Over the past 21 years, Employee Partners have contributed over half a million dollars toward patient care improvement projects at your community hospital. The program continues to grow, with new generous and passionate employees joining us and leaving a legacy through the Employee Partner Giving opportunities. Their efforts and generosity have opened doors and provided opportunities that will forever shape the trajectory of our organization.
“We are so grateful for our employees each and every day,” expresses Chief Development Officer Cody Sinclair. “The Employee Partner Program is just another example of how our employees contribute to our culture of kindness and care deeply for our patients. The Foundation would not be as successful without our employees’ unwavering commitment to care for our community. As we look to the future, we are grateful for the ongoing support of Employee Partners and the difference they continue to make in healthcare in our community. Together, we can build a better future for all who rely on Sheridan Memorial Hospital for their care.”
