Nancy Davis, Executive Director of Hancock Regional Hospital Foundation with Susie Billings, Kiwanian, Hospital Volunteer, and Hospital Foundation Board Member.
Nancy Davis, Executive Director of the Hancock Regional
Hospital Foundation spoke to Kiwanis about the foundation and its current activities. The hospital foundation partners with the
hospital to provide services to the community.
The current campaign to provide an endowed fund to help
bridge insurance and government reimbursement and actual cost of hospice care
has raised $1.8 million towards a goal of $3.0 million. Reimbursement averages only 30% of the costs
of hospice care. Currently the hospital has
a separate 7 room facility for care that provides patients with respite, palliative,
hospice or pain management care. Since
the facility opened in September 2011 it has served over 300 patients.
Some of the most public activities of the foundation are the
annual golf tournament and the Women Helping Women dinner. The golf tournament provides funds for
nursing scholarships. Women Helping
Women hosts an annual fund raising dinner to fund mammograms, breast health education
and MRI’s for uninsured or under insured women.
The dinner this year will take place at St. Michael’s Parish Life Center
on October 23, featuring comedienne Diana Jordan.
