Employee Giving

At St. Vincent Healthcare our employees offer wonderful compassionate care for our patients and their families in the spirit of our mission to raise up every individual, especially the poor or vulnerable.  One of St. Vincent Healthcare’s Nelles Nurse Scholarship recipients, Dana Barnes , who is an RN in the Orthopedic Care Unit, found his family in need of assistance last fall.  Dana’s lovely third child Samantha was born with a heart defect and required surgery in Denver.  Thanks to fellow employees who contribute to the Employee Crisis Fund through the SVH Annual Share Our Sprit Campaign, Dana and his family could focus on Samantha’s surgery and recovery with less financial worry.  Dana, his wife Mandy, daughter Charlee, son Tyler and baby Samantha are doing very well and greatly appreciate the many prayers and blessings they received.

“Thank you so much for your prayers, love and support for our family.  Sam’s surgery went better than we thought possible.  All glory be to God!  She has amazed so many by her strength.  We know her surgery and all the events around it would have been much harder without you.  We pray that the Lord blesses you beyond measure the way you have blessed us.”   With love, Dana, Mandy, Charlee, Tyler and Samantha.

Of the 1,990 St. Vincent Healthcare employees in 2011, more than 900 chose to make financial gifts to the "Share Our Spirit" annual giving campaign. Employees' gifts benefit the following funds held at St. Vincent Healthcare Foundation:

 

Community Crisis/ Children’s Programs Fund – benefits programs, organizations and individuals working toward resolution of crisis situations and children’s programs and organizations in our community

Rural Options Fund – SVH rural clinics’ staff choose a charity in their respective community to benefit by their gifts

Patient Compassion Fund – pays vouchers for patient’s family members for meals, lodging and cab fare so they can remain close to a loved one in the hospital

Employee Crisis Fund – assists fellow SVH employees who find themselves in crisis and need financial assistance

and support the United Way of Yellowstone County partnering agencies.

 

During the fall 2011 Campaign these generous and thoughtful SVH employees donated over $241,000 to benefit those in need at home and in our community. Since its inception, the Share Our Spirit Campaign has raised over $3.7 million in the spirit of the mission of our founders, the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, to provide compassionate care to all, especially to those who are poor or vulnerable.
