The past 18 months have been difficult for everyone, but for employees who struggle financially, these times have been especially hard.

That’s why the KCH Care Fund is so important.

Several years ago, the foundation developed an initiative called the KCH Care Fund. It’s designed to help struggling staff get through a rough patch.

Emergencies, by nature, are unexpected and can cause a tremendous financial burden. And when one person struggles, it impacts those around them – patients, fellow employees and the hospital in general. Morale and performance can suffer too. When employees are free to focus on their work, they render quality service with helpful enthusiasm.

Employees and others interested in supporting staff in temporary financial need, due to an unplanned circumstance, can help by giving generously to the KCH Care Fund. Visit the fund's website, foundationkch.org/donate.
