Grateful Patient Program
How Can I Say Thank You?
While at Munson Healthcare, you may have a had a caregiver - doctor, nurse, staff member, volunteer - go above and beyond to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Amazing patient outcomes are a direct result of the compassionate, high quality care our team provides each and every day - and we know our patients and their families echo this. Whether it is as simple as a smile in the hallway or a therapy program that rehabilitated you back to your weekend adventures, we encourage you to recognize and thank our team members for helping you back to your “amazing.”
Make a Difference
Munson Healthcare Foundation has established the Grateful Patient Program as a way for patients to recognize and express their gratitude for the care received at a Munson Healthcare facility and for employees who impacted their stay in a time of need. Charitable gifts are an opportunity to thank a team member or a program that made a difference in your life and may be made in honor of a physician, nurse, or other caretaker who has been a part of a patient’s medical journey. Philanthropy funds excellence in health care by providing for new technology, techniques, programs, and services. To put this into perspective, every dollar donated would require $20 in billable services.
Charitable gifts to the Grateful Patient Program will:
- Support continued excellence in health care across the Munson Healthcare system by providing for new technology, training, programs, and services; and
- Honor and recognize a team member (by name or anonymously) who had a lasting impact on you or a loved one.
Your gift, large or small, truly makes a difference in the lives of our patients and is greatly appreciated by all of the caregivers and employees at Munson Healthcare.
