Kadlec Foundation Celebrates Philanthropists at Annual Event

On November 2, many of our community’s most generous individuals gathered together to celebrate philanthropy at Kadlec. The annual event, Celebration of Philanthropy, is hosted by Kadlec Foundation to recognize charitable individuals and businesses in our community who give of their time and make impactful investments towards programs and services that benefit patients at Kadlec Regional Medical Center and members of our community as a whole.

This year’s recognized philanthropists are:

• Volunteer of the Year Award – Adam Lamberd
• Employee Philanthropist Award – Jim Hall
• Physician Philanthropist Award – TeamHealth Northwest accepted by Dr. John Matheson
• Sustaining Philanthropist Award – Dot Stewart
• Philanthropist of the Year Award – Ron and Lynn Nesse
  ​
  

After a brief program, guests were introduced to the ongoing work of our Community Health programs which include Kadlec Healthy Ages, Kadlec Academy, Kadlec Neurological Resource Center and suicide awareness and prevention. Generous attendees pledged over $149,000 towards sustaining these instrumental Community Health programs through Kadlec Foundation.

Kadlec Foundation is extremely grateful to everyone who attended, including our award winners and our generous donors. The community is invited to be a part of this ongoing work and can get more information by contacting Whitney Clark, development officer, at (509) 942-2661 or visiting www.kadlec.org/foundation.
