Employee Giving

Employee Giving Program

The St. Luke Employee Giving Program is an opportunity for staff to make a meaningful impact through voluntary, tax-deductible donations. By contributing to a collective fund, employees support projects that enhance patient care, improve safety, and enrich the work environment at St. Luke Community Healthcare. Since 2002, the program has raised over $575,000, funding initiatives like free mammograms, maternity care improvements, and essential medical equipment. Employees can propose and vote on projects, ensuring their contributions support causes they care about. Participants also enjoy recognition perks such as miscellaneous gift card drawings and the chance to serve on the grant review committee.

The St. Luke Employee Giving Program is a testament to the dedication of its employees, making a lasting difference for patients and the community.
