Scott & White Healthcare Foundation Update It’s very likely that you or someone you know has been treated by a Scott & White Healthcare provider. It’s also possible that your experience touched the lives of many people, because as we all know, when a person is sick, it can affect communities of people—families, friends, and neighbors. Restoring patients’ health is our life’s work. Yet the complex nature of healthcare delivery is balanced by the simple act of human kindness. It can be in the form of a compassionate gesture from a nurse, or a generous act from people like you, who are making a difference in the lives of others. The role of philanthropy has undeniably helped Scott & White Healthcare elevate the delivery of high-quality healthcare in the region. Because of you, we’ve soared to a higher level of healthcare excellence, with new locations, state-of-theart equipment and facilities, and some of the best medical minds in the country, who practice their craft right here because they believe in our mission and in our commitment to you. Each donation to the Vision Campaign has benefited someone. It may have helped your family, your friend, your neighbor, or even yourself. Each donation has a ripple effect, extending your goodwill to communities near and far. The synergy that’s generated is immeasurable. Together, we’re creating greater possibilities for the future.
