YOUR SUPPORT OF US

Support is a two-way street

Collaboration: This powerful action is prominent in the mission and vision statements of Bryan Health. Collaboration also is the central theme for our 2019 Community Benefit Report and our Annual Report on Giving.

Through your gracious support, collaborations are working. Gifts of both time and treasure from the community to Bryan surpassed $14.6 million in 2019.

Collaboration also is evident in our investment into our communities. Bryan’s quantifiable community benefit — more than $107.6 million in 2019 — is extraordinarily impactful.

As a Nebraska-owned and governed nonprofit, Bryan Health is acutely aware and attentive to the region ’s health needs and therefore many elect to give back through philanthropic support .

In 2020 and beyond, in order to move forward, we must continue to work together.

Thank you for your support — we are honored to care for your families and communities.

Kawasaki generosity helps Stop the Bleed education

Kawasaki provided funds for two high-end Stop the Bleed kits to be used for the Lincoln Pub lic Schools Career Academy — specifically for the Academy’s Manufacturing and Health Care tracks — that’s located at Southeast Community College.

The kits contain items need ed to control bleeding and care for individuals in emergency situations.

During the Academy, students

learn the importance of know ing how to use these tourniquet kits. Bryan has made these available throughout the community during recent years, and the Stop the Bleed educa tion and equipment have been proven life savers.

Bryan Trauma manager Jackie Wright (in the photo at left with Jason Hellbusch of Kawasaki) says, “We’re grateful for Kawa saki’s continued partnership.” n

Groups bring enthusiasm to Bryan projects

Many organizations assist as occasional helpers to Volunteers & Customer Care.

For example, in the photo at left, these Lincoln North Star Student Council members came as a group each month (until COVID restrictions went into effect) to help make crafts that were included in food insecurity backpacks.

The NRC employees at right are part of the crew that enjoys making the holiday season brighter. They help assemble crafts and favors for patient meal trays and Take Five events.
