Clara Barton employees pledge over
$132,000 to upcoming hospital expansion
February 26, 2014
The Clara Barton Hospital Foundation, in partnership with Clara Barton Hospital, is conducting a capital
campaign to raise funds for an expansion project. The campaign started off with a bang as the staff
completed their “Building Together… Caring for Life” Employee Campaign.
The employee campaign began with presentations to the staff to update them on changes coming to the
hospital and the upcoming fundraising effort. The staff then enjoyed their “Pledge Week” where they
were encouraged to participate by taking part in fun activities, drawings, and friendly competitions.
“The employee council, campaign, and foundation staff worked hard to make this an exciting event for
the employees,” Nancy Sorenson, Campaign Director said. “It was a really enjoyable and fun week, and I
am amazed with how this staff came together to make the entire event a success.”
And a success it was, with the employees pledging over $132,758, surpassing their goal of $108,000.
“What a wonderful show of dedication by this staff,” Hospital CEO Curt Colson added. “It builds my
excitement for the future even more to know that our staff can come together in such a big way.”
Most of the staff chose to give over a five year period through payroll deduction, personal time off, and
several gave through a one-time donation.
“We’ve got some work to do before the public starts hearing more about this campaign,” Michelle
Moshier, Executive Director of the Clara Barton Hospital Foundation said. “But we are thrilled to kick it
off with our staff showing the community how important this campaign is to them.”
CBH Foundation and Clara Barton Hospital are in the process of conducting a capital campaign over the
next several months to help fund an expansion to the Therapy Services department and the addition of
an in-house laundry service. The campaign and expansion can be followed on the Hospital’s website,
Foundation’s Facebook page, and the Hospital’s Twitter feed.
