Employee Spirit of Giving Program
Throughout its storied history, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center has relied on the inspiring talent, teamwork and leadership of our employees to advance our mission of providing skilled and compassionate care.
Employee giving is yet another way that we have historically shown our commitment to our community. This generosity supports vital needs, and our staff’s demonstrated generosity is especially convincing when we seek financial contributions from corporations, foundations and individuals in the Greater Hartford area.
Your personal generosity will enable us to continue to provide the lifesaving work that you, your family, your neighbors and co-workers have come to count on. Thank you for what you do each day at Saint Francis and for your special consideration to join our Employee “Spirit of Giving” Program.
ALL unrestricted contributions to this year’s initiative will support the following three Employee funds:
- Employee Children’s Scholarship – established in 2000, this fund has awarded 107 scholarships to children of Saint Francis Care employees toward their college education.
- Employee Emergency Loan – established in 2000, this fund exists to help employees in times of unexpected emergencies by providing financial assistance to aid in resolving the crisis. This program has assisted more than 400 employees to date.
