Dear Friends and Supporters:

It is hard to imagine how much our society and our world has changed in just 2 months. COVID-19 has changed virtually every aspect of how we live our lives. One thing that hasn’t changed is the importance of having a premier healthcare provider like Self Regional right here in Greenwood and the Lakelands region.

Self Regional Healthcare and the entire team continues to serve on the frontline in the response to the COVID-19 virus. We are indebted to the heroes who work at Self Regional. At the same time, we’re also grateful to a community that cares deeply about its hospital. The outpouring of support from area businesses and individuals that have made generous gifts of masks, surgical gowns and other vital medical supplies has been incredible. You’ll see the names of these caring donors in this report. On behalf of the Self Regional Healthcare Foundation, we say thank you!

In this report, you will also see a partial list of our donors that have made gifts to Our Vision in 2020 Campaign. As you may know, our Foundation set a minimum goal to raise $7.5 million by September 30, 2020. We are pleased to report that our Campaign has generated almost $8.5 million! What’s more, the Foundation has already given $3 million to Self Regional as part of its commitment to help find the renovation of the Childbirth Center and Surgery Center at Self Regional. The third piece to our Campaign was renovation of our Emergency Department. That project is on hold for now. We will have more information about this project later this year.

The Self Regional Healthcare Foundation is grateful to you for caring to make a difference in the future of healthcare in our community. Truth is… Self Regional wouldn’t be the stellar healthcare provider that it is today without support of caring people and businesses like you. We thank you!

We invite you to stay connected with us by following us on our social media platforms: www.selfregionalfoundation.org or on Facebook at Self Regional Healthcare Foundation.

If you wish to make a gift to the Foundation, you can do so online by going to www.selfregionalfoundation.org and click on Donate Now. Your past support has been critical. Your continued support will be more important than ever before.

All of us at Self Regional Healthcare continue to respond to this pandemic, but we are far from being over COVID-19. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, your friends and your co-workers. We urge you to be safe in the days and weeks and months ahead.

Sincerely,
Laine Orcutt, Chair
SRHF Board of Trustees
