Shared Values Inspire Collective Giving

If you've chosen a career in healthcare, it's likely because you believe you can make a measurable difference in peoples' lives. Together, members of St. Mary's medical staff have stepped up to make that difference a reality by launching the Medical Staff Giving Circle. It's a collective initiative, led by medical staff, to identify and fund patient care and programs with the philanthropic gifts of its members.

Members of the medical staff who contribute to the fund will review funding proposals submitted by members of the Giving Circle. They will then cast votes for their preferred initiatives at the start of each year. As direct caregivers, they will be in a strong position to make these decisions.

"It's rewarding to be part of a team that not only provides excellent care but also looks for new ways to support our patients and community," shares Triste Coulombe, MD, St. Mary's Surgical Associates. "The Giving Circle brings us together to fund meaningful programs and care initiatives that help people when they need it most."
