Dear friends,
Over the past year, we have invited our community to
come together in support of local healthcare. We’ve
asked you to Join the J, both literally – last October in
Spencer Smith Park as we formed the world’s largest
human letter J – and figuratively, as we believe that by
working together, we can make big things happen.
And with your generous support, you are proving that
to be true.
As a community you have come together to help
make the new Michael Lee-Chin & Family Patient
Tower and the future of healthcare in this community
a reality. And we want to say thank you for your
generous support.
There is more work to be done to provide this
community with the healthcare that we all envision.
Renovations to our existing tower will continue
through 2018, and we continue to need your help to
support the ongoing critical needs of the hospital.
Thanks to the extraordinary leadership of the Pasquale
and Anita Paletta Family and their match challenge we
have raised more than $57 Million towards our $60
Million Our New Era Campaign goal. Our community
has responded to the Paletta Family’s challenge and
have continued to support our hospital with over
$3.5 Million raised, and matched by the Paletta Family
for a total of more than $7 Million raised since the
Match Challenge was announced in September 2016.
On the following pages, we are proud to share the
stories of some of our donors and the impact their
support is having on care. Your investment in our
vision is truly transforming local healthcare and
making a difference in the lives of our community.
Thank you once again for Joining the J and supporting
leading practice healthcare close to home.
