From the Foundation Chairman

Dear Friends,

I want to take a moment to thank all of you who supported St. James Mercy (SJM) Hospital through a donation to the SJM Foundation in 2009.

In spite of local economic struggles, our community members and businesses gave generously to help patients, residents and clients at St. James Mercy Hospital. With fundraising events, annual campaign, memorials, bequests, and the dedicated work of our auxiliary, a total of $184,000 was donated in 2009. This funding was used to purchase clinical care equipment, improve the look and feel of our facilities, and provide education for employees. Thank you!

The 2010 Annual “Health Partners” Campaign is now underway, and you may receive a letter from our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mary E. LaRowe, asking for your support. If you can, please join your neighbors and friends in donating to the 2010 Health Partners campaign or follow this link to make a convenient online donation.

You can be assured that every dollar will be used to improve health care outcomes of those we treat in our hospital, clinics, and nursing home…especially the poor, underserved and disadvantaged…the mission upon which the hospital was founded in 1890.

St. James Mercy Hospital is blessed to be located in a region that has supported its neighbors and residents for 120 years. And we anticipate more great things in the future!

Thank you for your support now and in the past.

Sincerely,

Jim Nicoloff
Chair, SJM Foundation Board of Directors
