Recognize and Honor Extraordinary Caregivers

The Honor Your Caregiver program is a perfect opportunity for grateful patients, their loved ones, and community members to pay tribute to the compassion and unwavering commitment of our staff.

Making your own gift will offer you a special way to recognize the outstanding care of a talented and compassionate member of our staff—or an entire department or team. You can make your gift in honor of physicians, nurses, social workers, therapists, patient transporters, and any of the many others who directly impact patients’ lives every day.

By donating in their honor, you’ll not only celebrate them but also support our efforts to meet the most urgent health needs of our neighbors. Your gift will be put to immediate use and help bring our mission to life: to treat and care for all our patients and their families as we would a beloved family member.

Whoever you choose to honor will be presented with a certificate highlighting their commitment to compassionate patient-centered care, and their name(s) will be featured on our website.

They will be incredibly touched by your generosity and thoughtfulness.
