Heartbeat December | 2018

The 2018 Candle Glow Gala held on December 1st.

From the CEO...

I don’t know about you, but I’m still savoring the success of one of our biggest fundraising events ever! Our 13th Annual Candle Glow Gala was the perfect way to wrap up a full year of celebrating the history of Hosparus Health. It was truly amazing to celebrate 40 years of compassionate care with 800 of our closest supporters, family and friends. Thanks to the Development team, the gala committee and all the volunteers, involved in making this event a success.

Yet another reason for celebration is our Joint Commission survey results! The Accreditation, Medicare and Palliative Care certifications are critical to our mission of providing the highest quality care, we are now accredited for another three years. There were many people involved and I am thankful for ALL your hard work in ensuring quality patient care for those we serve!

Another cause for celebration over the past month was a significant achievement for veteran care. During one of the two Veteran Memorial sitting area dedications held in November, we announced that we achieved the four-star level in the national We Honor Veterans program! Thanks to those who led the efforts to earn this elite designation.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to each of you. I look forward to continuing our momentum of serving more patients longer in 2019!

FORWARD MOMENTUM
