Community Health Network Foundation announces recipients of annual It’s Our Community health care scholarships

Community Health Network Foundation, the philanthropic organization of Community Health Network, today announced a $9,000 investment in developing Indiana’s workforce by awarding $3,000 scholarships to three high school students committed to earning a health care degree at an Indiana college or university

The It’s Our Community scholarship program began in 2004 as a way to develop Indiana’s health and life science workforce by encouraging Indiana college students to earn a degree and seek long-term employment in Indiana. The Community Scholars represent schools located in the Community Hospitals East, North and South markets and were chosen based on academic performance, community service, school leadership and their commitment to pursue a health care degree at an Indiana college or university.

This year’s scholarship recipients are:

  • Mandi Dray, Warren Central High School, who will study nursing at IUPUI and represents the Community Hospital East market
  • Jessie Tucek, Fishers High School, who will study pre-medicine at Indiana University and represents the Community Hospital North market
  • Elizabeth Giesting, Triton Central High School, who will study biology and chemistry at the University of Evansville and represents the Community Hospital South market

Bill Kingston, president of the Community Health Network Foundation, said 69 students have been awarded $207,000 in It’s Our Community scholarships during the past six years.

“We are privileged to support these exceptional students and to help develop the next generation of Indiana’s health care workforce,” Kingston said. “We are excited to invest in their education and help them achieve their dreams while also making a positive impact in the economic future of our state’s health care industry.”

Employee campaign shatters goal, raises $370,000!

Thank you to our employees who raised more than $370,000 to impact the lives of patients, families, physicians and each other.

We greatly appreciate the 764 donors who contributed to the 2009 Community Health Network Foundation Employee Campaign. They gave because they care and helped shatter our $250,000 fundraising goal. In fact, they raised 68 percent more than last year!

Money raised will be used to fund programs and services that benefit our patients and families, our physicians and employees.

Nearly 40 percent of the donations were designated to our HELP Fund and the Dale Fleming Catastrophically Ill Employee Assistance Fund. Those gifts totaled nearly $71,000 and will be allocated to help employees in their most difficult time of need.

Other designated gifts will be used to support the expansion of Community Hospital South, nursing and employee scholarships and many programs providing exceptional patient care. Unrestricted gifts will be used to provide support throughout the network where the needs are greatest.

Community Health Network Foundation reaches capital campaign milestone

Community Health Network Foundation has reached an important milestone in its $1 million fundraising campaign to support the Next Evolution of Community Hospital South. Foundation officials have announced more than $636,000 has been raised to fund capital improvements that will deliver exceptional experiences for patients and families, as well as physicians and all employees.

To date, 122 donors have contributed gifts of many sizes to the campaign. However, a major gift of $160,450 made by 28 Community Heart and Vascular Physicians pushed the total over the half-way mark. That gift was made possible by the philanthropic leadership of Community Heart and Vascular President Ramu Yeleti, M.D.

Barbara Coury, Community Health Network Foundation vice president of development, is leading the fundraising for the capital campaign and is excited to see so many network leaders engage in the philanthropic process.

“I am delighted with the response we have received from our leadership to not only make their own gift to the campaign, but to also help us identify additional natural partners as we continue to raise funds for this and other opportunities across the network and central Indiana,” Coury said.

Coury also highlighted the success of a fundraising campaign led by the Sprit of South employee council, which has organized a series of fun events and sales that will raise money and increase employee donations for the capital campaign.

Patients, corporations, local supporters and vendors participating in the construction of the expanded facility have also contributed to the campaign. Substantial gifts will be celebrated with naming opportunities, including the new the Leach and Russell Board Room.

To support the Next Evolution of Community Hospital South, please call Barbara Coury at 317-355-4662 or e-mail her.
