Guardian Angel Program

Our patients and their families are accompanied through their healthcare journey by our qualified and compassionate caregivers. The nurses, doctors, therapists, and other healthcare professionals help you when you are weak, tired, and defenseless. However, their jobs can leave them exhausted, frustrated, and unappreciated. This program offers a meaningful way to show your appreciation for a healthcare provider who was your Guardian Angel by making a donation in their honor. The caregiver will be notified of your gift and any comments you wish to provide will be shared (though gift amount will remain confidential). They will also be recognized among their peers for this honor. Unrestricted donations will be used for education and training, but you may designate your gift to the hospital or clinical area of your choice. Give online to this fund.

Hospice Care

Hospice care provides support and care for persons in the last phases of progressive, incurable illness so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible. Hospice focuses on helping the person maintain quality and comfort during the final stage of life. A central purpose of hospice is to provide effective management of pain or other symptoms of end-stage illness and supportive services to the ill person and his or her family. The primary location for hospice care is the patient’s home setting. The home is typically the patient’s most familiar environment in which the greatest sense of security and comfort can be experienced. Hospice care can be given anywhere the patient lives, including nursing homes and assisted-care facilities. The hospice team strives to provide the family with the confidence and skills necessary to make care at home possible. Wellmont Hospice has a team of qualified nurses, social workers, chaplains, counselors and trained volunteers to provide the support needed in the home. Your donation to Hospice Care at Holston Valley Medical Center will provide support and a resource for future expansion of this program. Give online to this fund.

Pastoral Care

Hospitals have an innate spiritual focus because on a daily basis within its walls people face birth, death, suffering, and healing. Most think of spiritual support systems within hospitals as existing primarily for patients, but it actually extends far beyond - to family members, physicians, clinical care providers, and hospital leadership. Faith can be as much a tool of healing as any drug or procedure and the pastoral care staff at Holston Valley Medical Center helps to acknowledge and address this aspect of healing. Your gift to Pastoral Care will help strengthen and expand this important area of need. Give online to this fund.

Wellmont-King College Nursing Scholarships

Each year our hospitals hire many new nurses and each year the pool of nurses gets even smaller. In 2005 Wellmont Health System announced a strategic plan to help address this shortage by partnering with King College to form the Wellmont-King College School of Nursing. This program offers area students the opportunity to pursue nursing and offers our region a real world solution to the nursing shortage. Courses are offered in both Bristol and Kingsport locations, where students participate in both academic and clinical training. Your contribution to support student scholarships for the Wellmont-King College School of Nursing will help these current and future nurses achieve their educational goals while assuring our hospitals will have the best-trained nurses both now and in the future. Each scholarship recipient who is offered a position signs a length of service guarantee to assure that your support will help our Wellmont hospitals. The annual need for this program is approximately $500,000. Your gift to help fund scholarships can be made in honor or memory of someone whose life has been touched by nursing care.

Marsh Regional Blood Center

You may be well aware that the demand for blood constantly outpaces supply but you may not realize that only 5% of eligible blood donors take the time to give. Marsh Regional Blood Center collects, tests, stores and distributes approximately 25,000 units of blood and blood products annually to sixteen regional hospitals. To make donating as convenient as possible, Marsh utilizes three “bloodmobiles” that are driven throughout northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia. Unfortunately the mobile units currently in use are 16-20 years old and together the three must travel over 168,000 miles each year! New mobile units cost $250,000 each and the Blood Center would like to begin replacing them one at a time. Careful management of the Blood Center allows them to break-even despite uncontrollable factors such as indigent care and below-cost reimbursements, but vehicle maintenance has gone through the roof and there isn’t funding to purchase new mobile units any time soon. Your gift to Marsh Regional Blood Center will help assure the patients of our region will continue to have an adequate supply of blood. Give online to this fund.

Neuroscience Institute

Our focus is on the development of key initiatives that offer new capabilities for the treatment of critical health issues. The conditions these institutes treat represent the leading causes of death in our region, along with traumatic life-threatening injuries, and chronic diseases. These institutes will ultimately be represented by physical centers located at both Bristol Regional Medical Center and Holston Valley Medical Center—though an individual hospital may pilot programs initially. The institutes will house new, leading edge equipment and resources and develop best practice modalities that foster new developments in the continuum of care across the system. In addition, the institutes will bring new specialists to the area so that more people can stay close to home to receive the care they need. The development of new clinical research initiatives and partnerships with medical schools and universities will also be a part of the institutes. We will also focus resources on the advancement of existing centers to remain at the leading edge of care. Give online to this fund.

Together, we will lead the nation in best practices for patient safety and the elimination of medical errors.
