EMPLOYEE GIVING CAMPAIGN
Inspired Giving
“ THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF THE PATIENTS .”
“ THE DIFFERENCE WE MAKE IN THE COMMUNITY .”
“ MY AMAZING CO-WORKERS .”
Those were some of the things Hawai ’ i Pacific Health employees said inspired them to give to the 2022 Employee Giving Campaign ( EGC ). The campaign theme was " Find Your Inspiration .” Employees were certainly motivated to give , raising $ 1,001,116 during the month of September . It was the sixth consecutive year in which the EGC raised more than $ 1 million .
More than 4,000 HPH employees contributed to the campaign . More than 70 fundraising events across HPH facilities — ranging from bake sales to a pet pageant show — helped raise money .
Many donations carried a personal meaning . Some gave in gratitude of colleagues who took care of them or their family members . Others were thankful to HPH for nurturing their professional careers .
“ Pali Momi has helped me grow as a nurse ,” said Crystal Hart , a registered nurse at Pali Momi Medical Center ’ s Emergency Department . “ They picked me up as a new grad and trained me . Giving to the Employee Giving Campaign is me giving back to HPH .”
• Child Life , Chaplaincy and Teen Resiliency programs at Kapi ’ olani Medical Center for Women & Children , which support the emotional and social needs of young patients and their families .
• Emergency Department funds at Straub and Pali Momi medical centers .
• Kapi ’ olani Children ’ s Miracle Network , which provides support for patient care , specialized medical equipment , emergency transport and other resources for children in Hawai ’ i .
“ We ’ re always extremely proud and humbled by our employees ’ passion for contributing during this campaign ,” said Art Gladstone , HPH executive vice president and chief strategy officer . “ Their generosity extends far beyond their daily commitment to providing the best medical care for patients . These donations will touch local families on an even broader scale as we continue our mission to create a healthier Hawai ’ i .”
