Staff gives back to nonprofits

Over the holidays, our sites picked charities of their choice to give back to with sales of ornaments, candy and donations. Each tree was decorated to the theme of the charity.

Here’s a rundown of all the giving done at the sites:

George Street Dental – $82 for the York Hospital NICU

George Street Medical – $136.75 for the Wounded Warrior Project

George Street third floor – $116 for Nurse-Family Partnership

Hanover Dental and Lewisberry – $80 for the Children’s Miracle Network

Hanover Medical – $67 for the American Cancer Society

Gettysburg – $55 and canned food donations for The Gleaning Project (Did you know that the Gleaning Project provides our Gettysburg patients with fresh produce?)

Hannah Penn – 150 pairs of underwear in their HannahPants campaign for Hannah Penn students

Thanks to all of our staff and patients who give back to causes that are important to us all!

Staff-wide help to build a home

Look at all the stuff we have so far, and it’s just beginning!

Remember the story about Sarah – the Caring Together patient whose birthday was made when staff surprised her with a night in a king-sized bed at a hotel? 

Well, the staff continues to go above and beyond for her. Let’s get caught up.

Sarah continues to be resilient and brave about her recent HIV diagnosis and health battles. Case manager Carrie Prowell said:

“She makes me proud everyday with her determination to ‘be just fine’ for her girls,  and her story is truly nothing less than inspirational.”

The family is currently living in a crowded one bedroom apartment without a bed (hence the birthday surprise), but as of Jan. 1, they’ll be moving into a new three-bedroom apartment!

The problem is that the family has no household items.

You probably won’t be surprised that the minute Carrie shared this story, Shannon McElroy (her boss) and Courtney Lewis (director of development) started collecting things to bring in. Of course, Carrie did, too. Word spread to Sue Posey (practice manager at the George Street Center) and she started bringing in items.
