2009 Heart Walk: Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare’s team of 500 walkers raised $58,772 for the American Heart Association.
Commitment to Our Community We take our mission seriously and are committed to giving back to the community in a meaningful way. Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare continues to be the largest provider of TennCare services in the state, and our facilities provide access in all areas of the city and county. As a faith-based institution, access to healthcare for all of the community is important to us. Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare provides over $125 million of net community benefit expense* to Charity, Medicaid, TennCare, Medical Education, and community services. We work hard to become a part of the fabric of the communities we serve to be a good partner, a reliable neighbor…an irreplaceable resource. A medical mission team from Le Bonheur traveled to Haiti in early February 2010 to care for children and adult victims of the nation's catastrophic earthquake. During its two-week trip, the team treated 900 patients and performed 165 surgeries. The team included two pediatric orthopedic surgeons, a trauma surgeon, critical care specialist, anesthesiologist and certified nurse anesthetist, paramedic and surgery technician. More than 18,000 Mid-Southerners were screened at 420 health screening events, and we participated in community health fairs reaching more than 7,200 people and staffed first aid tents at various events. Methodist supported the American Heart Association with a $25,000 gift and our Associates raised $58,772 on their own for the AHA’s annual Heart Walk. A few of our highlights from 2009-2010 include: Methodist donated supplies and personnel for a variety of projects including over $1,530 in Cardioscans and mammograms for various charity organizations, over $15,000 in surgical items to CrossLinks and Missions of Mercy, over $2,000 in supplies and furniture to local schools. We also donated medical supplies to overseas mission trips. Le Bonheur led the nation with an innovative triage system during the H1N1 swine flu pandemic. Le Bonheur erected a 2,500 square foot, temperature controlled tent in its parking lot to offer flu screenings using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention high-risk protocol. In all, 1,145 children were examined in the tent, all within minutes of arrival. When the H1N1 vaccine became available weeks later, Le Bonheur Children's was the first in the nation to administer it. Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare was recognized by the Mid-South Food Bank for raising over $8,000 in support of the Operation Feed campaign. * Net community benefit expense is calculated using a standard approach as required for government benefit reporting. 15
