Monroe Health Foundation is a recipient of United Way funds. Through donations from the community to United Way of Monroe County, we have purchased jaundice meters, a birthing room warmer, a colonoscope for the surgery department, emergency room stretchers, and blood pressure monitors for the recovery room. United Way also donated $25,000 to the capital campaign to build the cancer treatment center.
Art for Living showcases the artistic talents of individuals to create t-shirts and Christmas cards. Shirts are offered for gift giving at Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day. Funds from the breast cancer awareness shirt sold in October and from the Christmas t-shirts and photo greeting cards help to support the local cancer treatment center. The Art for Living program has contributed over $25,000 to the Foundation.
Other donations come in the forms of memorial or honorary gifts, jewelry sales and other miscellaneous donations and fundraisers. Donors can remember the Foundation in their estate planning by listing it in their wills. Stocks, bonds, and real estate are also excellent ways to contribute.
All foundation funds are used to better our community’s healthcare resources. Monroe County Hospital graciously donates the salaries and office space for the Foundation staff. |  | |
