Nursing Education and Patient Assistance
PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITY #1 In keeping with its historical priorities, the Foundation directed significant funding in 2023 for nursing/staff education, patient assistance, equipment and programs. The Foundation funded 100+ scholarships for nurses and other staff to pursue bachelor's and advanced degrees. Patient assistance funds supported transportation, lodging and other critical needs, so patients can complete their treatment - without having to prioritize daily living needs over potentially lifesaving healthcare. A wide range of equipment needs - for example, a retinal camera for infants, cardiac imaging technology, and orthopedic and rehabilitation tools - were funded. An example of a program fully funded by donors was the Presbyterian Pace Academy, which has a full-time teacher who helps hospitalized children keep up with their school work.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.1MEnd-of-Life Care at Hospice House
