Bartlett Regional | House Calls | Spring 2019

If you’re like me, the longer days mean having more time and getting more done than during the dark, cold days of winter. The same is true for the Bartlett Regional Hospital Foundation. Our efforts to help finance projects and programs to keep Southeast Alaska on the cutting edge of patient care means there’s always something to do. As the days lengthen, so does our to-do list— and our ability to get it done. Here are a few highlights. Cheers to safe sleep Last fall’s Brewfest, put on by the Rotary Club of Juneau, provided the Foundation with much-needed funding to continue our infant safe sleep program, Bartlett Sleep Awareness Family Education (B-SAFE). We’re grateful to the Rotary and will continue to work throughout the year to raise more money for this important program. Bright minds, bright future We’ve presented our 2019 Behavioral Wellness Scholarship to Kim Hearn, a counselor at Juneau Youth Services. This scholarship for advanced training and certification will help our capital city enhance behavioral health care services and treatment by increasing the number of practitioners with advanced certifications and training. Spring cleaning As I write this, I’m thinking of our first- ever Give Back Garage Sale, scheduled for April 27, around the same time as the Juneau Community Clean-up. Get a head start on spring cleaning, sorting and decluttering by donating a treasure or two for us to sell that day. Call the office for more information or to volunteer or donate. Cruise for a cause It’s hard not to think about the longer days and warmer weather without thinking about our annual wildlife cruise. More than just a whale watch (although these gentle giants are the stars of the day), the cruise also features food and fun for the entire family—and it’s affordable. While this is a fundraiser for the Foundation, thanks to the generosity of Allen Marine, we will continue to keep ticket prices as low as possible. Keep an eye on the events page at www.brhfoundation.org to learn more and to purchase tickets—they have a tendency to go quickly! Join in the fun While the days are getting longer and we’re getting a great deal done, it’s never too early to think about attending our donor appreciation event later this year. For now, keep an eye on our website, Facebook page and Instagram to learn more about the Bartlett Foundation, all of our projects and upcoming events, and how you can be involved—especially during our long days ahead! 3260 Hospital Drive Juneau, AK 99801 Standard U.S. Postage PAID Portland, OR Permit No. 2901 Connect with us www.facebook.com/BartlettRegionalHospital www.twitter.com/BartlettHosp Provider directory: www.bartletthospital.org/providers Facebook “f”Logo CMYK / .ai María E.
