Colleagues recognized for flying above and beyond for patients The Guardian Angel program is a way for individuals and families who are grateful for the service and dedication of St. Mary colleagues and physicians to show their appreciation with a financial contribution to the Foundation. A pin and certificate are presented to each person named through the program and an annual luncheon is held in their collective honor. Just over 200 physicians and colleagues were named as Guardian Angels by patients and families, friends or colleagues last year. The recognition luncheon for all of the 2015 recipients was held on June 1 in the St. Mary Outpatient Care Facility. The event is a small token of appreciation from the Foundation for all these special individuals do for our patients every day. One patient, Diane Weitz, recently made a contribution honoring two special angels – Stephanie Harkins, RN and Dr. Michael Jacobelli – who have both consistently provided her with exceptional care during several hospitalizations over the years. A personalized note for each angel was included with her gift to be delivered with their certificates and pins. As often as possible, being named as a Guardian Angel is kept as a surprise. The presentation is coordinated between Foundation staff and the honored colleague’s department. When offered the opportunity to be included in the surprise presentation for Stephanie, Diane readily accepted. On June 9, Diane showed up to St. Mary with balloons and a treat for her Guardian Angel and all of the colleagues on the MG3 unit. Joined by Lisa Yost, Nurse Manager, and several colleagues from MG3, Stephanie was...

Giving of Your Time With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering are enormous to you, your family, and your community. The right match can help you find friends, reach out to the community, learn new skills, and even advance your career. Volunteering can also help protect your mental and physical health. One of the better-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Unpaid volunteers are often the glue that holds a community together. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Even helping out with the smallest tasks can make a real difference to the lives of people and organizations in need. Giving of your time, or volunteering, comes in many forms at St. Mary. Formal opportunities exist in nearly every department, and event-driven openings occur throughout the year. Explore your area(s) of interest and register to volunteer here. Giving of Your Talent We hear from many people that they have a desire to do “something” to give back, but that their schedules do not allow for a regular ongoing office commitment. Opportunities abound at St. Mary for gifted members of our community to showcase their talents in a volunteer capacity. Specialized skills such as graphic design, photography, writing, financial or legal expertise, or strong local networking abilities are in high demand throughout the year in conjunction with a variety of events and programs. Please contact Lisa Juris, Event Coordinator, to explore the possibilities. Giving of Your Treasure Lives are saved every day at St. Mary as a direct result of the generous donations...

Learn WHY Dr. Richard and Mindy Goldstein GIVE BACK Dr. Richard and Mindy Goldstein have a long and rich history with St. Mary. After all, eight of their twelve children were born here. Dr. Goldstein began his professional association with St. Mary Medical Center in 1987, and since then has also served as president of the medical staff from 2001-2003, been an integral member of numerous committees, and helped to establish The Endoscopy Center at St. Mary, one of the first of its kind in the country. While raising a large family and building a thriving medical practice over the past 29 years, the Goldstein’s have come to appreciate the importance of local, advanced medical care. With two disabled children who often need extensive medical attention, the proximity and availability to acute care is critical. “There is a correlation between philanthropic support and the availability of advanced lifesaving technology and equipment. That is precisely why...
