Grateful for Care

Grateful for Care

Say “Thank You” in a Meaningful Way

Sometimes the most meaningful moments in healthcare come from the people who take the time to listen, comfort, encourage, and care.

Whether a nurse held your hand during a difficult diagnosis, a provider answered your questions with patience and compassion, or a member of our staff made you feel seen and supported, the Grateful for Care program offers a special way to express your appreciation.

By making a gift in honor of a caregiver, you help ensure exceptional healthcare remains available close to home while recognizing someone who made a difference in your life.

Why Give through Grateful for Care?

A donation through the Grateful for Care program does more than say thank you.

Your gift helps support:

  • Patient care enhancements
  • Medical equipment and technology
  • Caregiver education and development
  • Scholarships for future healthcare professionals
  • Programs that strengthen healthcare close to home

Every gift, regardless of size, makes a lasting impact.

How It Works

1. Make a Gift

Make a donation in honor of a caregiver, department, clinic, or care team.

2. Share Your Story

Tell us why you are grateful and how that person impacted your healthcare experience.

3. We Deliver Your Message

The Foundation will notify the caregiver of your recognition and share your message of gratitude. The amount of your gift always remains confidential.
