Grateful Hearts

Grateful Hearts Gratitude through giving.

Lawn signs across our campus have uplifted our caregivers’ spirits during the pandemic. Each sign documents a contribution made through the COVID-19 Response Fund, and includes heartfelt words of thanks and encouragement from the thoughtful donors.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have grown accustomed to hearing the phrase “essential workers.” Huntington Hospital team members provide essential care to patients during the pandemic and always. In gratitude, many generous patients choose to give back through donations to our work.

When you make a gift through our Grateful Hearts program, you honor an exceptional staff member or members who have gone the extra mile to make your hospital stay the very best it can be. At the same time, your gift helps us to ensure the very best of care for other patients.
