Your Gifts at Work
Every gift to the Foundation makes a difference in the lives of others. The following stories demonstrate how some of the life-saving programs and services made possible through donor contributions have changed the lives of men, women and children in our community.
When I arrived in the E.R., I no longer had a heartbeat or blood pressure, and I wasn't breathing. Using specialized equipment, the doctors and nurses brought me back to life after my heart attack! And they didn't stop there. Everyone provided such wonderful care the whole time I was recovering. The doctors and nurses were so caring and compassionate and did everything they could to make me better. My family and I are all so grateful for the care providers who made such a frightening time easier.

I owe my life to Metro's free prostate cancer screening, it's just that simple. When I decided to go, I didn't think anything would come of it. I felt just fine. But it's a silent killer, I would have never known. My mother died of cancer. My wife, too, has battled this disease. Now, she and I get a second chance. Metro's screening is the reason why I am here today and the reason I can shout with joy, "I am cancer free!"

As a nurse in the Emergency Department, it has been my experience that Metro Health has never been one to be satisfied with "good enough." Continuing education for nursing staff is a huge part of our constant efforts to improve the care of our patients. Thank you for making it possible for us to attend conferences that are vital to providing the highest level of care. Without the continuing education grants, there is no way I could have attend these conferences, and our patients would not be benefiting from significantly reduced wait times and other improvements we've made as a result of all we learned. You are making a difference in our efforts to provide the best patient experience possible.

As a full-time patient of Metro's Assisted Breathing Center,
I have never been able to visit my grandchildren in their home. They had rarely seen grandma outside the hospital before today. What a feeling, watching my two little granddaughters play and listen to their chatter as they ran around their house! I could hardly hold back the tears. I really don't know how to thank you for the new portable ventilator provided to me by the generosity of those who support the Metro Health Hospital Foundation. It's like you've given me back my life. What a wonderful gift you gave to me and to my darling little girls. I look forward to many more trips to come.
