Guardian Angel ProgramOur 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.

Physical TherapyMedical technology and procedures in this age can do absolutely amazing things, but the road to recovery often begins with physical therapy. Getting you moving again, helping you overcome fear and pain, coaching and encouragement, and innovation are all part of a physical therapist’s work. It is also an area which is difficult to receive adequate revenue for building and maintaining equipment and training staff. Your support of Physical Therapy at Hawkins County Memorial Hospital will go a long way towards building this important area of service. Give online to this fund.

The overall goal is to help patients return to the highest level of independence possible and it offers a variety of clinical services to address their behavioral health needs.

Emergency ServicesIn many emergency situations, one of the most critical factors which can ultimately determine whether a person lives or dies is the proximity and availability of quality medical care. At Hawkins County Memorial Hospital we pride ourselves in our ability to provide top notch emergency services. This area of care, however, can be very expensive due to the nature of being ready for anything all of the time. A gift to Hawkins County Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Services will help support this important area of need by providing funding for equipment, training, upgrades, and ongoing support. Give online to this fund.

To attract and retain the best and brightest employees, especially in a rural hospital setting like ours, we need to be able to offer educational opportunities that will allow our caregivers to keep up on the latest developments in their respective fields. Your gift to the Hawkins County Memorial Hospital Employee Education Fund will help assure funding is available for employees to attend seminars, college courses and continuing education classes to keep them up-to-date with the advances in the healthcare industry.

Your support makes it possible for an exceptional level of care to be given to every child served at our hospitals. CMN funds support the programs and services of Wellmont Children's Health Services by purchasing equipment and materials. For many sick children, Wellmont is the only place they can go to get the sophisticated care they need without having to travel to a far-away city. A recent groundbreaking alliance with Knoxville’s East Tennessee Children’s Hospital further supports that commitment. East Tennessee Children’s Hospital is the pediatric referral hospital for the region and the only state-designated comprehensive regional pediatric center in East Tennessee. Give online to this fund.

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 CenterYou 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. Learn more about the Marsh Regional Blood Center Bloodmobile CampaignInstitute for Prevention and Healthy LivingOur 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. Safest Hospital Initiative FundFunding in this area provides a way for the people of our region to influence healthcare on a national level. Creating the safest, most error-free hospital environments is our highest aspiration. Existing national benchmarks for safety and error-free behavior are not sufficient to achieve the level of care we feel every patient deserves. Patient safety is paramount. Working with the world’s foremost experts, Wellmont has joined with other health systems devoted to establishing a new model. Together, we will lead the nation in best practices for patient safety and the elimination of medical errors. Funding to advance this initiative will result in landmark research and help us to quickly translate it to improved processes and performance. Give online to this fund. The Fund for Medical Innovation, Technological and Educational AdvancesThe Fund for Medical Innovation, Technological and Educational Advances will result in dramatic new possibilities for care. Funding in this area will allow us to seek out new equipment to diagnose and provide treatment, offering new hope to patients. Give online to this fund. |
