Grateful Patient & Family Giving Program

The SIH Grateful Patient & Family Giving Program provides patients, former patients and their families an opportunity to give back to honor those who so compassionately cared for them during their time of greatest need and to acknowledge the facility that provided outstanding care. Upon receipt of your special gift, we will send a card of appreciation to the facility and/or healthcare professional(s) you have recognized. The names of the facility and caregiver(s) will also be listed in select SIH publications. The amount of the gift is not disclosed and you may remain anonymous if you choose. Your gift will allow us to maintain state-of-the-art facilities and equipment and will provide direct patient support and services to those with the greatest need. Naming opportunities may be available.

"Everyone that I came into contact with at the hospital was very good to me. They explained everything in a way that I understood. The people in the Cath Lab were wonderful! I was a little scared, but they all made me feel at east. I will never forget them."  -- Patient at SIH Memorial Hospital of Carbondale.
