Message from the
Foundation President
Dear Friends,
What an extraordinary time for the Mount
Carmel Foundation! Why? Because of YOU,
our donors, more than 100,000 people are
positively impacted through Foundation
support each year. It is your support of, and
dedication to, our mission that makes this impact possible. How?
Because of your commitment, we have funded over 160 programs
that provide quality healthcare and support for our patients, families,
visitors and colleagues. Where? Throughout central Ohio and beyond,
we are providing faith-based programming that heals body, mind and
spirit. The powerful Mobile Coach and Street Medicine Program are
one example. They ensure medical care and case management
services for over 6,000 homeless and underserved patients in central
Ohio. And, carrying our mission abroad, is the Mount Carmel College
of Nursing students, embarking on a medical mission trip to San Jose,
Costa Rica to provide critically needed care to the underserved, while
honing their compassionate and expert nursing skills. Because of YOU
and your generosity, it is inspiring and humbling to think of all we are
able to accomplish together.
This issue of Inspire shares how the mission fuels our work. We are
excited to have the leadership of Ed Lamb as our new Mount Carmel
Health System President and CEO. You will learn his vision for Mount
Carmel and his strategic plan for the system. You’ll also read stories
of how your philanthropy is changing lives. From raising awareness to
the needs of healthy moms and babies through the Champagne and
Diamonds gala, to celebrating a 7% increase in colleague giving from
last year, we are strengthening our communities. Finally, we hope you
will be proud when reading how our transformative care creates
grateful patients.
We can’t say it enough — Because of YOU we are changing lives. In the
Foundation we embrace every day with an owner’s mind and a servant’s
heart. Thank you for helping us continue to be faithful to who we are
and who we aspire to be — Your most trusted health partner for life.
All my best,
