Daily Devotional

— Genesis 2:2 (NIV) 

“By the seventh day, God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work.”

HELPFUL TIP

Plan ahead downtime. Set appropriate boundaries and make sure others know they are not allowed to interrupt during your downtime. Prioritize and get your “must do” tasks done early so that you have more free time to work with.

It’s ok to think about yourself

 Is it time for a mammogram, colonoscopy, or other health screening? Taking care of your own health means you are better able to care for those around you.

It’s music to my ears

Have you ever noticed how music affects not only your mood but also the pace at which you do things? Hmmm, maybe that’s more than just a coincidence.

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. Through a comprehensive giving program, each and every contribution has an impact on the future of communities where our patients and associates live, work, learn and play.
Protect
our most vulnerable

Protect our most vulnerable communities by providing access to safe, nurturing environments. Gifts to Protect support projects that nurture newborns, help people suffering from depression or grief return to a healthy lifestyle, advocate for seniors, care for sexual assault victims and more. 

PROGRAMS

Franciscan Health provides a full spectrum of behavioral health services that focus on treating the whole individual: mind, body and spirt. Many people dealing with behavioral health issues such as family difficulties, career pressures, anxiety, depression or a loss of self-worth, can get better with the help of Franciscan Health’s dedicated behavioral health team. Your support will go a long ways toward helping them take that first crucial step: finding the help they need to return to a normal life.

When a sexual assault victim arrives at the Center of Hope, they are arriving at a safe, secure, calm and compassionate place. Our specially trained nurses, certified Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE), help the victims relax and begin focusing on recovery. Your support for this center helps people heal emotionally, physically and spiritually.

This new fund assists the most vulnerable populations in the communities we serve by addressing economic stability, quality education and healthcare access.

The Grace Project assists families affected by the opiate crisis and has one purpose – deliberate acts of kindness. Your gift can provide formula and diapers, help with bills and enroll mom and dad in parenting classes. Extending grace motivates parents to stay employed, progress in their recovery and give their baby the best possible start in life.

Senior citizens or incapacitated adults without the support of nearby family, need an advocate to make sure they have access to the care they need. Volunteer Advocates for Seniors and Incapacitated Adults (VASIA) program in Northern Indiana trains volunteers to become temporary legal guardians for patients in these special circumstances who have no support structure of family or friends to speak for them.

Franciscan Health partners with women and children through every phase of their life. Your gift helps us provide free educational opportunities and health screenings in the community as well as special nursery equipment to provide a smoother and safer transition for babies born prematurely in our family birthing centers.
