Today I will …

Express appreciation

Consider three people who have made an impact in your life. Perhaps a former teacher, your child’s soccer coach or someone who may have no idea about the positive influence they’ve had. Whether you call, text, write an email or letter, let that special someone know just how special they are.

Daily Devotional

— Galatians 5:13 (NIV) 

“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.”

HELPFUL TIPS

Show appreciation and gratitude often. Everyone needs to feel appreciated and valued. When practicing daily gratitude for others, you’ll become a more optimistic, less stressed, and generally happier and healthier person!

Franciscan Health Foundation – Doing Good in Our Communities

P E A C E Initiative Programs
The PEACE Initiative combines the strength of each of the Franciscan Foundation offices to bring together doctors, partners and community members along with 18,000 Franciscan Alliance employees to impact those in need.

Elevate
your community’s access
Elevate your community’s access to state-of-the-art care and specialized services. Gifts to Elevate support programs at the forefront in the fight against cancer; doctors who lead the way in cutting-edge diagnosis and treatments; and medical professionals who provide faith-based, integrated healthcare for our communities.

PROGRAMS

Among all the treatments and breakthroughs our doctors have made in managing side effects and treating cancer, the support and bond that brings us together is what makes us human. Our assistance extends to those who not only need emotional support, but financial as well. This is all part of why Franciscan Health is at the forefront in the fight against cancer.

A trusted leader in faith-based, integrated healthcare, Franciscan Health brings together the latest technology, innovative procedures and highly skilled and compassionate employees to serve our patients. Your gift to any of our hospitals helps us continue “Christ’s Ministry in our Franciscan Tradition” by serving everyone with respect and compassion.

One of the goals of Franciscan Health is to provide better care and better health at lower costs. Encouraging and stimulating pioneering ideas is one way to do that. Your support of our Innovation Fund gives us an opportunity to pursue innovative healthcare delivery models.

Your gift to Lynn’s Boutique in South Suburban Chicago helps women suffering from cancer regain a sense of personal pride that’s often lost or hidden during cancer treatment. The boutique provides a lovely and respectful environment for bra and prosthesis fittings.

When babies are born prematurely or with special health needs, they require specialized care. Franciscan Health’s Neonatal Intensive Care units provide the expert care and state-of-the-art technology needed to treat some of the most vulnerable newborn babies. Your gift to this unit is a gift to families in a time of crisis.
