Guadalupe Regional Medical Foundation is honored to provide funding support for our nationally recognized hospital, GRMC. Because GRMC is not part of a corporate chain, and because it does not receive tax-based funding, our efforts to augment the hospital’s income are especially important. Seguin and the surrounding region benefits greatly from the hospital’s continued and impressive achievements in providing top quality and compassionate care. It is rare indeed to have such excellent medical care readily available in our own backyard. We ask that the businesses and residents of the area continue to consider GRMF in your gift-giving plans, so that we can continue to support our unique community hospital. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GIVE: • Donate to one of several categories of funds including Hospice, Guadalupe Clinic, Prescription Assistance Program and/or Cancer Care • Make GRMF your charity of choice when ordering on Amazon, through Smile Amazon • Support our annual events, such as Race to Raise in April and Pistols and Petticoats in the fall of each year • Donate to one of two scholarship funds for the furtherance of staff education in the medical fields • “Pay it forward” to a particular department or service at the hospital • Bequests: Make a gift through your will • Charitable gifts, trusts, real estate or life estates • Establish a perpetual endowment, often made in honor of a loved one or specific cause • Sponsor a particular piece of equipment or contribute to a specific service Every dollar counts and adds up! If you share our pride and appreciation for the great work being done at GRMC, please contact me directly to discuss ways that you can make a difference in maintaining this community treasure of a healthcare facility. As I approach my 20th year as CEO at GRMC, I am full of pride and admiration for the many amazing individuals, leaders and teams who have worked ceaselessly to create our unique, awardwinning culture. It has been my honor to watch hundreds of staff members develop their skills and ability to lead others. The common denominators throughout this journey have been trust, relationships, communication, mutual respect and recognizing our privilege of making a positive difference in every life we touch. We are grateful to our supportive community, our dedicated board members, our phenomenal physicians and volunteers, and our hardworking employees for bringing such honor to our organization. While I have no doubts about our ability to continue to reach new heights, I also know and remind my team that there is no finish line. Our national awards only serve to prompt us to aim higher yet.
