Mount Carmel Foundation
2018 Community Impact Report
Dear Friends,
We are very grateful for you and your generosity in helping Mount Carmel Foundation further the Mission, Vision and Core
Values of our healthcare ministry. It is because of the difference you make that our physicians, nurses and colleagues are able
to provide exceptional healthcare for those who face insurmountable life and health obstacles every day.
Because of YOU, in fiscal year 2018, $22 million was allocated and approved to spend on targeted programs and capital projects.
$6.4 million was invested by the Foundation in 2018 to support more than 150 programs that change people’s lives in significant
ways. The difference you make every day impacts patients through your support of the Hospice and Palliative Care Fund, nursing
students when you contribute to scholarships, and new mothers with contributions to the Welcome Home Fund. Your donations
help us help the most vulnerable with community-based programs like Street Medicine and the Mobile Coach. These programs
transform lives by healing mind, body and spirit. And, as you’ll see inside, these are just a few of the lives you affect in a positive
way on a daily basis.
We are very excited about the new hospital, Mount Carmel Grove City, which will soon be serving all of central Ohio, but in
particular those in that rapidly growing geographic region. Please know that at our downtown campus we remain committed
to serving the people of Franklinton — where the Sisters of the Holy Cross first came to Columbus in 1886 to manage the
then-new hospital. Mount Carmel is investing more than $46 million in campus enhancements that will benefit not only
Mount Carmel College of Nursing, which continues to see record enrollment, but also the Franklinton community through a
freestanding emergency department, as well as outpatient health and wellness and outreach services.
We also hope you will enjoy reading the story of one grateful patient, former Columbus Mayor Michael J. Coleman, and how he
credits Mount Carmel East with saving his life. And we know you’ll delight in reading the history and impact of the Sisters of
the Holy Cross, who answered the call to serve Christ, Mount Carmel and people in need all over the world.
Finally, we are blessed to have Edward Lamb, FACHE, continue to lead Mount Carmel Health System as President and CEO.
Columbus Business First recently recognized Ed with one of its C-Suite Awards, which recognize the region’s most-admired and
accomplished business leaders. His leadership and dedication to Mount Carmel’s Mission has enriched our presence in central
Ohio and beyond.
It is with heartfelt thanks that we express our gratitude — on behalf of our patients, their families, our colleagues and our
physician partners — for your generosity and the important role you play in allowing the mission of Mount Carmel to manifest in
the lives of those we serve.
With Gratitude,
David Montgomery Deanna Stewart
Board of Trustees Chair President
