SSM Supporting Haiti Relief Efforts
February 08, 2010(February 8, 2010) Throughout SSM Health Care, employees and physicians have been supporting - through prayer and donations - relief efforts in Haiti since the Jan. 12 earthquake. Among the efforts:
> SSM Health Care announced Jan. 18 that it was donating $50,000 to UNICEF Haiti Earthquake Relief for earthquake victims. Sister Mary Jean Ryan, FSM, Chair/CEO of SSM Health Care, said: "The magnitude of the tragedy leaves us feeling helpless. Perhaps this donation will help in some small way."
> On Feb. 4, SSM Integrated Health Technologies sent several pieces of medical equipment to Hopital Sacre Coeur in Milot, Haiti. The hospital, located about 75 miles north of Port-au-Prince has been inundated with the injured and other refugees. IHT continues to identify unused equipment in working condition that can shipped there. Also, the IHT's mission awareness team led a drive that netted enough toiletries for 55 kits and other donations.
> At St. Mary's Hospital in Madison, Wis., St. Mary's matched employee donations up to $10,000. Efforts included a partnership between St. Mary's employee Lisa Koenig (St. Mary's Renal Center) and students from O'Keefe Middle School and Lowell Elementary School. They set up a hot cocoa stand along a bike path - and raised $1,225 in just two hours for Haiti relief. Dean Health System, physician partners of St. Mary's, has made a similar commi tment to match its employees and physicians' donations up to $10,000.
> In Baraboo, Wis., St. Clare Hospital & Health Services, which has supported a medical clinic in Thiotte, Haiti, for many years, the hospital and employees raised about $8,500 and collected scrubs which will be shipped this week to the clinic.
