PRESIDENT’S CORNER

FRANCISCAN CHILDREN’S AND DIGITAL FEDERAL CREDIT UNION: A POSITIVE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP

Dear Friends, I’d like to take a moment to personally thank you for your dedication to Franciscan Children’s and reflect on our truly momentous progress — that friends like you make possible. With your help in 2017, we made significant strides in our fundraising goals — raising 50% more than the previous year while also securing several transformative capital gifts that will be used to help us expand our campus, programs, and reach in order to treat more kids than ever before. Building on this momentum, we will continue to raise funds and awareness of the critical work we do here at Franciscan Children’s. Our medical rehabilitation and mental health services are in demand more than ever, and we need to expand to meet the rising need for these programs. With the help of partners like you, we will ensure that no child is left waiting when help could be readily available.

As one of only four children’s hospitals in the country that provide medical rehabilitation, mental health care, and educational services onsite, the demand for Franciscan Children’s programs is always growing. As we expand our campus to allow us to care for even more children, we are also taking steps to ensure that all of our current and future patients, students, and families are able to have the best experience possible during their stay at Franciscan Children’s — which can last weeks to sometimes years. Thanks to the partnership and support of Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU), we will be able to take steps to increase the therapeutic and recreational options at Franciscan Children’s so we can continue to fulfill our mission of helping children reach their full potential and live their best life.

This newsletter will provide updates about the incredible generosity of our donors and the inspiration behind their support. From all of us at Franciscan Children’s, thank you so very much for your continued dedication to our patients, students, and their families. Together, we are making great progress towards a brighter future, so every kid can. With gratitude,

John D. Nash, FACHE President and CEO, Franciscan Children’s
