Colleague Giving Campaign 2016-2017

Colleague Giving Campaign 2016-2017

St. Mary Colleagues got onboard! While it is true that many patients come to St. Mary seeking life-saving care from doctors and nurses, every colleague in every department can be a lifesaver. Each year, hundreds of colleagues participate in the Colleague Giving Campaign with a one-time gift or a payroll pledge supporting a St. Mary fund of their choosing. This year was no different. Over 500 colleagues raised nearly $100,000 during the campaign that ran September 6 through October 14. Weekly pledge collections in the cafeteria provided opportunities for colleagues to sign up to make a difference as well as enjoy a light snack compliments of the Colleague Campaign Committee. Two special events offering free coffee and pastries were held to thank colleagues for their support. Funds raised through the Colleague Giving Campaign stay right here at St. Mary and are used to ensure that we have the best quality facilities, equipment and skills to care for our patients. If you are a St. Mary colleague and wish to support the Colleague Giving Campaign, there is still time. Contact Kat O’Connor at 215.710.5894 /koconnor@stmaryhealthcare.org or donate at StMaryFoundation.org/colleague.   Fall 2016 FOCUS —...
All in the Family

All in the Family

United in mission and vision new CEO embraces a promising future. Friends and supporters — Thank you for welcoming me so warmly to the St. Mary family. This strong sense of family is one of the first things that impressed me during my first visits to the campus. Among the many colleagues who work here, there is a strong bond of collaboration, friendship and genuine concern for each other and for the patients they serve. This is also true of the community that surrounds the medical center. The faith that you have in the mission and vision of St. Mary is evidenced every day in the support you provide. There has been so much accomplished through your partnership with St. Mary over the years. Even in the short time that I have been here, I’ve seen many impressive projects take shape. We recently completed the multi-phase renovation to our Labor & Delivery area and initiated an update to the Central Sterile Supply area that offers crucial support for our surgical services. There has also been major progress in our Cancer Center. Work on our infusion room has begun and when finished will afford our patients a more private and comfortable setting in which to receive treatment, complete with room for visitors and views of the beautiful healing garden. The Bee Well Boutique, located just outside the Cancer Center, is now open thanks to the efforts of the Community League providing clothing, spa products, wigs and other items for patients undergoing chemotherapy and other procedures. An additional improvement that is both cosmetic and safety-enhancing is taking place in various areas...
Legacy carved in stone

Legacy carved in stone

Sidney Yates’ generosity and friendship lives on. St. Mary colleagues, community leaders, friends and family of Sidney T. Yates gathered at St. Mary on September 28th to honor his memory and legacy. In a ceremony led by St. Mary President and CEO, James Woodward, the existing outpatient building was renamed the “Sidney T. Yates Outpatient Building.” A monument located at the flagpole circle outside and bearing the facility’s new name was unveiled during the ceremony. Mr. Yates was a founding member of the St. Mary Board of Directors and Trustees when the hospital opened in 1973 and remained an active member of the Hospital Authority Board until his death in 2013. Sidney was also a member of the Foundation Board from 1989 until 1998. Giving back to the community was something in which he strongly believed. In addition to his involvement with St. Mary, Mr. Yates was active in numerous community organizations. His faith in the mission and vision of St. Mary was evidenced by his generous contribution of both personal service and financial gifts exceeding $12 million. Renaming of the building in his honor is a reflection of the gratitude of the St. Mary community and a lasting tribute to his leadership, dedication and support throughout the years. The three-story Sidney T. Yates Outpatient Building currently houses many St. Mary services including Same Day Surgery, imaging, blood lab testing, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, Cardiovascular Catheterization Lab, Wellness and Holistic Services Center and a portion of emergency and trauma services.   Fall 2016 FOCUS — Full...
