What makes our heart
skip a beat…
Launching an employee
giving program in December,
adding over 30 new donors
to the Annual Fund.
Receiving $230,000 from
the Trexler Trust to purchase
new X-ray equipment and to
support Parish Nursing.
According to a nationwide
survey, Sacred Heart
continues to have a
lower re-admission rate of
14.5% than the national
average at 15.2%. This
is due to the excellent
initial care patients receive
from our physicians.
Sacred Heart Hospital Foundation
Providing over 600
backpacks, polo shirts
and hygiene items to
children in center-city
Allentown at our
Healthy Kids Back to
School event in July.
Forging new partnerships with
community organizations, Sacred
Heart partnered with KidsPeace in May
to open a new outpatient behavioral
health facility. With over 300 referrals
thus far, this facility serves ages 3-65
and a great need in our community.
The opening of
5 Tower in February,
an 18-bed floor,
designed around
our patient-centered
care philosophy and
comforts for visiting
family members.
Dear Sacred
Heart Hospital
Foundation Supporter,
Greetings from 4th and Chew!
Greetings from 4th and Chew! My name is Jackie Jones and
I am the Vice President of Foundation here at Sacred Heart.
I joined the staff on Dec 1, 2014 having previously spent the
last 15 years at a number of educational institutions in
Development.
I am thrilled to share with you the Foundation’s first ever
Philanthropy Report. This report highlights all the events and
happenings in the Foundation. And most importantly, it
recognizes all of our donors for their invaluable support over
the last fiscal year.
The Annual Fund is the cornerstone of all giving to the
hospital, and is our greatest source of unrestricted funds used
to cover the most immediate financial needs of the hospital.
We sincerely thank you for your continued support, for
without you, Sacred Heart would be unable to continue to
serve the Allentown community. Attached in this report is a
pre-paid envelope for your convenience, we ask you to renew
your support for Sacred Heart Hospital and make your gift
for the 2015/2016 fiscal year.
We do our utmost best to ensure that all of our donors
names and giving levels are accurate. If you believe we have
made a mistake with your name or gift, please let us know by
calling the Foundation office at 610-766-4874 so we can
make changes to our online report, which can be found
at www.shh.org/foundation or on our Facebook at
www.facebook.com/sacredhearthospitalfoundation.
A special thank you to our
2014-2015 event sponsors!
Shoot for a Cause, Links to the Heart and Night of Chance all support the operating
budget of the hospital and the money raised goes directly back into the Annual
Fund. In total, the three events raised over $145,000. This year, we hope to
raise $200,000 so don’t forget to save the dates for our upcoming events!
Night of Chance Shoot for a Cause Links to the Heart LINKS TO THE HEART GOLF TOURNAMENT

Heart golf tournament was held on the 18th of
August, 2014 at Lehigh Country Club in Allentown.

Sacred Heart Hospital Foundation is pleased
to announce the establishment of a planned
giving society, created this past fiscal year. The
Legacy Society was created as a way to
recognize and thank donors who have made
provisions in their estate plans for a gift to
Sacred Heart Hospital, recognizing that the gift
may be postponed until after their lifetimes.
The name “Legacy Society” was chosen to
acknowledge the fact that the benefits of such
gifts create a perpetual legacy for our Hospital.
Additionally the Legacy Society helps the
hospital to build long term financial stability.
Uses of the Gifts
Legacy Society members, like all donors,
are free to designate the areas within the
institution where their gift is to be used and
applied. They are encouraged to enter into an
endowment or expenditure agreement with
the Foundation Office documenting for future
generations the mutual intentions of all parties.
This fall we will have a special
President’s Breakfast, for all Legacy
Society members where they will
receive a special tile for being a member
and receive an update from our
CEO/President John Nespoli.
