What is it?
Started in 1997, the Employee Giving Campaign gives JPS Health Network employees a chance to contribute a percentage of their salary to help their peers and patients in times of need. To date, the campaign has raised more than $1,051,693 with the help of 3,413 employees.
Sixty percent of funding goes to employees during times of emergency such as illness or death of a spouse, unexpected surgery, a house fire and more.
Twenty-five percent of the funds go to Social Services and help patients with supply costs such as wheelchairs, nebulizers, diabetic equipment and more.
Fifteen percent of proceeds helps fund Ladders in Nursing Careers, assisting employees in their educational endeavors. Funds provide tuition assistance, books, uniforms and supplies.
