Shared Values Inspire Collective Giving

If you’ve chosen a career in healthcare, it’s likely because you believe you can make a measurable difference in peoples’ lives. Together, members of St. Joe’s Medical Staff have stepped up to make that difference a reality by launching the Medical Staff Giving Circle. It’s a collective initiative, led by medical staff, to identify and fund patient care and programs with the philanthropic gifts of its members.

Members of the medical staff who contribute to the fund will review funding proposals submitted by employees of the hospital. They will then cast votes for their preferred initiatives at the close of each year. As direct caregivers, they will be in a strong position to make these decisions.

“The goal of this inspiring circle is to increase awareness of St. Joe’s philanthropic efforts and magnify the expanded impact medical staff can have on their health system,” shares Kendra Paradis, DO, St. Joseph Family Medicine – Broadway. “Participating gives me an opportunity to discuss our community’s needs and determine how we can best allot funds to successfully address those needs. I’m incredibly happy to be a part of it!”
