If your mailing address has changed 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.
