Festival of Trees 2023

2023

Festival of Trees

I want to thank TriState Health’s Board of Directors, Trustees, employees, and our community for supporting the Festival of Trees each and every year. It is TriState Health Foundation’s largest fundraiser and supports some of our most significant endeavors that impact healthcare in our region.

Last year, the Foundation’s Raise the Paddle portion of the Gala focused on their surgery campaign. This year, they are shifting their focus to our imaging center project, which will fund two new CT scanners and a new MRI machine. The need for this state-of-the-art technology continues to rise in our region. Over the last three years, CT scan services increased 40%. By adding an additional CT scanner to our imaging department, our patients will have a quicker turnaround time for diagnosis and treatment plans. We hope that you consider donating to this much needed cause.

As our community-owned hospital continues to grow, the Foundation is vital to our success. The Festival of Trees presents a unique opportunity to invest in the health of our community that will last for generations to come.

I hope you all have the chance to enjoy viewing the beautiful trees, mini-trees, and wreaths created by many! Thank you again for your continued support of Festival of Trees. Your generosity does not go unnoticed. I wish you and your families a happy and healthy holiday season!

Sincerely,

Kym Clift, Chief Executive Officer, TriState Health

Going on a family trip to pick out a Christmas tree is a cherished memory for many. And now, with this eight-foot tree, you can bring that experience into your own home! Adorned with traditional holiday colors, red and green ornaments, and even cute little animals peeking out, this elegant tree will transport you to the snowy mountains. This winter scene has stunning trees, gorgeous deer, and many other items to take you outside.

COMPLEMENTARY ITEMS:

• Cord of wood, red fir & tamarack

• Dewalt, 60v max brushless 20” chainsaw kit

• Rocket stove

This tree holds a special meaning as it is dedicated to the memory of Violet Marker. She devoted 38 years of her life to TriState Health and loved Christmas more than anything else.  To honor her, our family decorates a tree every year in her name.

THANK YOU: Marker Family and Green Machine Ice Cream

Our Mission

TriState Health Foundation is devoted to helping TriState Health place people and their health as the first priority.

Why support a community-owned hospital?

TriState Health began with a dream 68 years ago. A group of community-minded citizens and the local War Mothers spearheaded the campaign to build a new hospital in honor of those who died in the wars in memory of their sacrifice. In one year, they raised $490,616, which was added to a federal grant of $295,000. In this

way, the community worked together to provide residents with a non-profit, communityowned hospital. TriState Health, previously known as Tri-State Memorial Hospital, opened its doors on July 17, 1955, providing quality, local healthcare access for our community.

Today, philanthropy continues to play an essential role at TriState. In 2023, we expanded on the dream to build a community hospital by adding our new P1FCU inpatient and dietary wing. And now, we need to sustain that dream by updating and expanding our Imaging Center. Together, we will follow in our grandparents’ footsteps, creating a lasting legacy that

will impact the health of future generations.

As a non-profit, communitybased organization, TriState Health does not receive tax revenues from our community. Therefore, charitable contributions play a critical role in project funding.

Contributions to TriState Health through the TriState Health Foundation provide an opportunity for our community to actively determine the quality of their own healthcare in our area. These contributions enable

the Foundation to support the hospital by providing new equipment, facilities, community programs, and services that might not otherwise be funded.

A contribution is your chance to make a difference in the health of our community, both today and tomorrow. It is your opportunity to demonstrate the value you place on a strong, local, independent healthcare system and your commitment to ensure its future. “Today’s Investment in Tomorrow’s Health” remains our focus.
