14 Memorial Medical Milestones • Winter 2023 Supporting local patients The Foundation at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital serves as the philanthropic arm of the health system. Every dollar raised is used to assist the health system in funding programs and projects, advancing facilities and technology, and directly impacting the lives of our patients. Pamela, a patient of the Heart and Vascular Center, was recently gifted a new wheelchair from the Foundation. An LCMHS employee learned of Pamela’s difficulties with her previous wheelchair, so she made the request to the Foundation to fund a better, sturdier one. “You saw a need, and you met that need,” says Pamela. “I am so forever grateful because I really needed this chair!” It is through the support of generous donors that we are able to continue the rich tradition of caring that began 70 years ago. This year’s highlights: Employee Giving Campaign The employees of LCMHS uniquely recognize the need for support of patients and special projects. Their support, through the annual Employee Giving Campaign continues to advance the mission of Lake Charles Memorial Health System. In 2022, the Employee Giving Campaign raised $58,000, benefitting various funds.
