I’ve been reading a bit about end-of-year giving lately and learned that 30% of annual giving occurs in December, and 10% of it happens in the last three days of the year. But that’s no reason not to get an early start on giving for 2020. If giving back to your community is among your New Year’s resolutions, a gift to the Bartlett Regional Hospital Foundation is a great way to make a difference. Your gift, no matter its size, goes toward keeping Southeast Alaska on the cutting edge of patient care—needed medical technology, resources, programs, and especially the education of young Alaskans. Looking back at 2019 Let’s just take a moment to review what we’ve done and begun in 2019: Higher education and continuing education for professional staff is one of our highest priorities. In 2019 we funded ten Grace & Phil Edelman Scholarships for regional students pursuing careers in the health sciences and two Behavioral Wellness Scholarships for Juneau area behavioral wellness providers, and we helped to fund an obstetrics seminar and certification exam for labor and delivery nurses in Southeast Alaska. The Foundation was also able to assist Bartlett Regional Hospital to obtain funding for its Emergency Department case manager. We can also look back on other projects, such as Bartlett Beginnings’ B-Safe program , which promotes safe sleep for babies, and sponsorship of Health Matters Diabetes Education ; our Art in the Hall program, providing brightly designed children’s artwork for hospital areas; and special events, such as our Wildlife Cruise in the spring, our donor- thank-you Whole Beast Feast at summer’s end, our Holiday Lights Bus Tour and Visit with Santa in December. I found another interesting statistic in my reading, the one that notes that 77% believe everyone can make a difference by supporting causes. Those of us involved with Bartlett Regional Hospital, whether as volunteers, donors or staff, truly believe you can help us help our hospital and the region it serves with your donation—it all comes back to you. And from all of us to you, we wish a happy, safe and, most important, healthy new year! María E.
