Floyd Memorial Hospital & Health Services

Exemplifying the Foundation’s goal of providing a financial-support system for the hospital’s health and wellness initiatives, the organization introduced a new logo design. “The Foundation never truly had its own logo and this year’s board really wanted us to start to create our own identity,” said Linda Hendrich, executive director of the Foundation. “The logo features the hospital’s logo balanced atop a column representing the Foundation’s support of the hospital’s many programs and initiatives.”

Guardian Angel Program

The new Guardian Angel program offers patients and visitors a heart-felt way to say thanks to someone special who made a positive difference in their hospital experience through a tax exempt donation to the Foundation. Patients, their family members or friends can make a monetary gift of at least $25 to the Foundation to have an associate, physician or volunteer named a Guardian Angel. In return, the caregiver will be recognized with a card noting who nominated them, a Guardian Angel lapel pin, a photo taken of them receiving their recognition, acknowledgement in hospital communications and an invitation to an annual reception. The donor, along with acknowledgement of their donation, will receive a copy of the photo of their Guardian Angel. All donation amounts will be kept confidential.

Recognition Wall

The Foundation’s efforts would not be possible without the generous nature of its many donors. On May 21, the Foundation unveiled its Recognition Wall that showcases individuals, corporations, community organizations and philanthropic foundations whose cumulative giving totals $5,000 or more. As well as being recognized on the Recognition Wall, donors are also listed in a Recognition Wall brochure.
