WELLSVILLE, NY (August 30, 2018) – Ron Sutton, Senior Vice President & Trust
Officer at Key Bank, stopped by JMH recently to deliver over $105,000 in grant
funding: $17,984 from the F. T. and Anna C. Manley Memorial Trust and $88,000
of proceeds from the Jeanette Dermit Trust.
According to Donna Bliven, RNC BSN MHA, Chief Nursing
Officer and Vice President of Patient Care Services at JMH, the Manley funds
will be used to purchase respiratory equipment for pulmonary patients. “I
applied for this grant for the purchase of a Bi-Pap machine,” she said, noting
that the equipment purchase is especially timely with pneumonia and flu season
around the corner. Each year, JMH applies to the Manley Trust for grant funding
to purchase a particular piece of equipment for patient care. “Last year the
Manley grant was used for two vital sign machines for Med/Surg and two CO2
monitors for the ICU and the ER,” she said. “We are so grateful to the Manley
Trust for the continuing support. It is always nice to see Ron Sutton at my
door!”
The Dermitt Trust was established by the estate of Jeannette
Dermitt, in her memory. An Allegany
County resident who passed in 1969, Ms. Dermitt left the trust to the benefit
of three hospitals including Jones Memorial.
“The unrestricted proceeds are received annually,”according
to Jim Helms, Vice President of Finance at Jones. “The money goes into the
operating funds and helps us to continue our mission of providing patient care
to the residents of Allegany County. We appreciate the generosity of the
Dermitt Trust and the legacy of Jeanette Dermitt.”
