Geisinger Health Foundation: Summer Donor Impact Update

Your philanthropy delivers world-class care in central and northeast Pennsylvania.

Geisinger Grateful

Generosity from donors like you allows Geisinger to invest in technology, treatments, programs and training that increase access to care for every person, everywhere we serve. Thank you for investing in the health of our community.

I give to Geisinger because...

I had my surgery June 12 and every single person who cared for me that day was amazing!

Shannon Kizer

Dr. Kovalick is so kind and so trustworthy. I trust him with my life.

How else do you thank someone who saved your child’s life? We are forever grateful to have received such world-class care for our daughter, close to home.

Your generosity at work:

Beyond the Bricks: expanding exceptional care closer to home

At Geisinger, we know that healthcare — particularly for children — can never be delivered by a “one size fits all” approach. Each child has unique physiological, developmental and emotional needs. Every patient in every community we serve deserves exceptional maternal-child and pediatric care. Your generosity has brought us within reach of this goal.

Right now, we’re preparing for our Beyond the Bricks Campaign Ball — scheduled for Sept. 14 — when we expect to celebrate the completion of the $10 million fundraising goal of this campaign and launch its implementation in full.

Learn more about how you can support the Beyond the Bricks Campaign Ball.

In preparation for that, we’re in the final stages of fundraising. Thank you to all the incredibly generous donors who have helped us get to this point!

Learn more about the Beyond the Bricks Campaign and how you can help make sure we reach the goal.

This is, of course, in addition to all our other priorities that you support, including:

Expanding care at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center
Expanding Geisinger at Home to help patients manage their health from the comfort of their own home
Providing scholarships to aspiring doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine
Funding a new mobile food pantry in Danville

Both my father and sister passed away from complications of diabetes at a young age, so I was devastated when I was diagnosed. Jill was extremely knowledgeable, helped me make a nutritional plan and checked in on how I was feeling. It meant the world to me.

I am forever grateful to the surgeons and nursing staff that took care of me when I broke my ankle. I was a nervous wreck, but everyone helped me stay calm by giving me positive words and vibes. Thank you to everyone that helped me!

Dr. Cardillo, the attending ER physician, and nurses Tori and Stacy took very good care of my wife Judy in the ER. Very professional, very personable, and answered all our questions. What a blessing to have such great people so close to home!

I was so nervous to get an echocardiogram. From the moment Lisa came for me in the waiting room, I felt reassured. Her calm kindness and obvious skill level immediately put me at ease. She made me feel comforted and cared for. Thank you, Lisa.
