STPH Guild Raises $12,000 for Hospital Foundation

 

COVINGTON – As part of it mission to support hospital programs in addition to assisting patients and guests, the St. Tammany Hospital Guild donated $12,000 to the St. Tammany Hospital Foundation at its first quarterly meeting of 2016.

“The Guild makes donations to the Foundation on an annual basis to help them meet and exceed their goal to fortify the promise to provide world-class healthcare close to home now and for generations to come,” said President Ron Rome.

The Guild has donated more than $137,000 since the Foundation’s inception in 2003 and is recognized at the Partner Level on the Donor Wall of Honor in the hospital’s main lobby.

The St. Tammany Hospital Guild is an organization of about 100 members who donate 25,000 hours each year in 20 of the hospital’s departments. The Guild raises money through sales in the hospital gift shop and other fundraisers to provide nursing and allied health scholarships for fall and spring semesters. The scholarships are awarded to deserving hospital staff members who are furthering their education in medical fields.

For more information about volunteering with the Guild, contact Shirley Primes at 985-898-4008.
