Cornerstone Employee Giving Spotlight

Valley View employees go above and beyond, changing lives and making a positive impact each day. Every gift made by a staff member supports comprehensive, personalized care to patients. A portion of each employee donation also benefits the Silver Lining Fund, which provides financial assistance to Valley View employees facing financial hardships. Thank you, team!

“I choose to donate to Valley View because when I went through orientation, it was apparent their values and passions aligned with my own. As I've continued working here, I have realized these donations allow Valley View to treat its patients and staff, not as monetary assets, but as members of the community. Since Valley View is an independently financed hospital, donations allow them to uphold these ideals and focus on the patient's well-being.”

-Celsea Killian, Pediatric Partners Clinic Registrar, Cornerstone Employee Donor

Letter from Dr. Murphy Valley View Chief Executive Officer

On behalf of Valley View and all of our incredible team members, please allow me to extend my deepest gratitude for your support and generosity in the past year. Your philanthropic gifts enable Valley View to embody our mission to care for you and your family, one patient at a time.

Thanks to you, our patients benefited from additional support and new advanced technology. For example, our cancer patients received complimentary integrated therapies and participated in support groups. For those in need, emergency assistance such as groceries and lodging was provided for patients receiving treatment. Those needing spine surgery accessed leading-edge robotic care with our new MazorX Spine Robotic Guidance Platform. You also helped Valley View acquire two rapid blood infusers to respond to the needs of our hospital patients experiencing trauma.

Your generous gifts truly make a difference in the care of our patients, and, in turn, the health and well-being of our community. Thank you for all you do to help Valley View.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Brian Murphy, MD CEO, Valley View Hospital

What Can Your Donation Do?

Across the Valley View network of care, your gifts make a difference for our patients. Take a look below at a few examples of what your donation can support:

• Your gift to the Spine Center can help patients experiencing chronic back pain return to their normal lives. Your donation supports the purchase of a Medtronic spine surgery navigation system, including an O-Ring CT scanner. This technology, combined with the Spine Center’s state-of-the-art MazorX Spine Robotic Guidance Platform, will enable Dr. Wade Ceola and his team to offer spine surgery patients a faster recovery time, decreased risk of infection, and less pain by performing ever more minimally invasive procedures.

• Your donation to support cancer patients makes an incredible difference for those receiving treatment at the Calaway•Young Cancer Center. Your gift provides patients in need with access to a variety of invaluable resources such as support groups, integrated therapies, overnight lodging, gas and grocery cards, and more, which can help address some of the most challenging aspects of the treatment process. If you would like to contribute to the endowment providing sustained support for cancer patients in perpetuity, please contact John Quinn at 970.384.6627 or John.Quinn@vvh.org

• Unrestricted donations allow Valley View to respond to the ever-changing needs of our patients and our community.
