CHRISTUS Spohn Foundation 2019 Annual Report - Page 5
Thank You From The Foundation
As I reviewed the names of all the donors
listed in this Annual Report, my heart filled
with gratitude. The Annual Report gives us an
opportunity to thank the individual donors,
foundations and corporations who have
committed to improving the health care of the
South Texas region.
In 2014, our Board of Directors and CHRISTUS
Health identified a need to transform healthcare
delivery and improve access to care for the
residents of the Coastal Bend. Along the way, we
called on long-time donors and we reached out
to new members of our community. So many
had a “Spohn story” to share with us. We have
been privileged to give tours of both the new
North Tower at Spohn – Shoreline and of the
Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Family Health
Center to people who had never before had a
reason to set foot in our facilities. During this
campaign, old friendships have deepened and
new friendships forged, all for the sake of Spohn
being able to provide the best possible medical
treatment right here in Corpus Christi.
In 2019, you, our donors, successfully reached
our campaign goal. Every time you drive down
Shoreline Boulevard, you see the fruition of your
donations. Each gift towards the campaign has
made a tremendous impact on this community.
This report celebrates the culmination of the
most eventful four years I have enjoyed as
the Vice President for Philanthropy for the
CHRISTUS Spohn Health System Foundation.
I hope you enjoy reading it and your names,
knowing you and everyone listed built this new
tower for all of us to have great healthcare right
here at home.
Karen Bonner
Vice President of Philanthropy
