Give to the Max - H.E.A.R.T. Nominations

November 19th marks Give to the Max Day in Minnesota but early giving begins November 1st. Every donation made throughout November enters the Foundation in a drawing to win a daily "Golden Ticket" worth $500.  Every donation made on the 19th, enters us into the golden ticket drawing that takes place every 15 minutes that day!
 

With all the craziness of 2020, there has been one stable spot that has never wavered: our local healthcare. In 2020, they sent us home, stood their ground, changed how they work, answered questions & worked tirelessly to protect & inform their communities. 

This Give to the Max season we are excited to kick off our Healthcare Employee Appreciation, Recognition and Thanks (H.E.A.R.T.) Grateful Patient Program. This is an opportunity for the public, patients, staff, friends or family to acknowledge the healthcare workers in our lives who have shown compassion, kindness, or went the extra mile. Healthcare workers come in all forms from Providers to Accountants, our technology or housekeeping crew to nursing and CNA's. 

 If you welcomed new life this year and felt the anxiety of not having family there, but the room was full of familiar, smiling faces – that is local healthcare.  If you faced a layoff and had to make a painful call to Patient Financial Services but were met with  warmth and solutions on the other end of the line – that is local healthcare.  Were you able to visit a resident of Fairway View in a safe and healthy manner?  Did you ask a question and receive an immediate response?  Maybe you came for a routine visit and, thanks to the housekeeping staff, you hardly noticed our remodeling project.  That is local healthcare.  

To nominate a healthcare worker for a H.E.A.R.T. award, click "Donate" above & share a brief description of who you chose to honor this Give to the Max Day.  Your nomination along with a donation to the Foundation will tell our essential employees that their efforts are recognized and valued.  These nominations will be listed in the Annual Legacy report as well as in social media.
