“The Giving Tuesday goal at Jones Memorial is $50,000,”
explained Jodi Pearson, Foundation Coordinator at Jones Memorial. “We have
earmarked these funds to enhance our surgical services department with
equipment that will support our new surgeon, Dr. Du Nguyen, who has expanded
the procedures available locally to including thyroid surgery, lung procedures,
and laparoscopic bowel surgery, laparoscopic hernia, and laparoscopic
fundoplication.”
Now recognized around the world, #GivingTuesday started as a
way to encourage people to do good by supporting causes they care about. This
is the first time Jones Memorial has participated in the movement. “Our theme is Give Where You Live:
#GIV2JONES,” said Mrs. Pearson. “This
community has a long tradition of supporting Jones Memorial Hospital and we are
proud of the care we provide to our families, friends, and neighbors.”
