patient” programs like Behavioral Health Services and the Ray Hickey
Hospice House. Employees also have the option of directing their
gift toward a specific department or program, or the “Area of
Greatest Need” fund which allows the Foundation Board to help meet
emergency or unplanned needs of the medical center.
Nearly 100 employees became members of the “Cascade Society” with
their gifts of $1,000 or more. Some 45 employees joined the “Mother
Joseph Club” with gifts of $500 or more, and another 450+ employees
made contributions in varying amounts during the four-month
campaign.
