From heartfelt patient journeys to behind-the-scenes glimpses of our team's passion, Voices celebrates the real people whose lives intersect with our mission of providing exceptional healthcare to our community.
1. What inspired you to support Rome Health Foundation, and why is its mission important to you personally?
"I support the Foundation because I believe Rome Health truly cares for the Rome community. By giving, in my small way, I hope to help enable the Rome community access to quality care at the best and worst moments of their lives."
2. How do you see your gift making an impact in the community or in the lives of patients and families?
"Having timely, quality healthcare right here in Rome could mean the difference between a positive or negative outcome for a friend, neighbor or family member in their time of need!"
3. What values or experiences shaped your decision to give back through philanthropy?
"I have always believed that if you have the time or the means to help your community that simply makes our community a better place. I would tell anyone that if you are able, there is nothing better than knowing your contribution makes a big difference."
4. Why do you believe supporting local healthcare is important for the future of our community?
"Having access to quality, state-of-the-art health care can mean the difference between a strong, growing community and one that is stagnant. A thriving community that has lots to offer attracts new families and businesses and keeps our bright and talented young people here."
