From the Foundation
Dear friends ,
Over the past year , we have invited our community to come together in support of local healthcare . We ’ ve asked you to Join the J , both literally – last October in Spencer Smith Park as we formed the world ’ s largest human letter J – and figuratively , as we believe that by working together , we can make big things happen . And with your generous support , you are proving that to be true .
As a community you have come together to help make the new Michael Lee-Chin & Family Patient Tower and the future of healthcare in this community a reality . And we want to say thank you for your generous support .
There is more work to be done to provide this community with the healthcare that we all envision . Renovations to our existing tower will continue through 2018 , and we continue to need your help to support the ongoing critical needs of the hospital .
Thanks to the extraordinary leadership of the Pasquale and Anita Paletta Family and their match challenge we have raised more than $ 57 Million towards our $ 60 Million Our New Era Campaign goal . Our community has responded to the Paletta Family ’ s challenge and have continued to support our hospital with over $ 3.5 Million raised , and matched by the Paletta Family for a total of more than $ 7 Million raised since the Match Challenge was announced in September 2016 .
On the following pages , we are proud to share the stories of some of our donors and the impact their support is having on care . Your investment in our vision is truly transforming local healthcare and making a difference in the lives of our community .
Thank you once again for Joining the J and supporting leading practice healthcare close to home .
