Continued from Page 15 2011 Crossroads Annual Report 16 Methodist Mansfield Medical Center Auxiliary Thanks to its book fairs, accessory sales, and the popular annual Holly Days event, the Methodist Mansfield Auxiliary has given more than $150,000 to support programs, services, and equipment for the hospital since its inception in 2006. Most recently the group pledged $150,000 over five years toward the $9.1 million expansion of the Women’s Pavilion. Dee Lemser, president of the Methodist Mansfield Auxiliary, says Methodist Mansfield is like a second home to the volunteers. “We love to serve and want to make sure that every little incidental need is met,” she says. “We want people to walk in and recognize that we’re trying to be of service to them, to think, ‘I’m sorry I’m sick, but if I have to be sick, I want my care to be at Methodist Mansfield.’” Methodist Charlton Medical Center Auxiliary Formed in August 2010, the Methodist Charlton Auxiliary exceeded its fundraising goals for its first fiscal year, raising $5,000. Its gift-basket drawing, Tour of Tables, and holiday bazaar have brought financial and moral support to the hospital. “This is our community hospital,” Auxiliary President Marlies Peregory says. “In the challenging economic times that we’re in, everyone needs help, and that includes those who need medical assistance. We’re happy to do our small part in raising money to help Methodist Charlton keep giving back to the community.” To get involved with the auxiliaries or Guild, visit www.MethodistHealthSystem.org/WaysToGive.

You’re helping young people achieve their dreams Chase Excellence students observe medical professionals in action to learn more about their health care career options. this is your inspiration So many young people dream of becoming doctors, nurses, and a variety of other health professionals. Thanks to the Chase Excellence Junior Volunteer scholarship program at Methodist Dallas Medical Center, generously sponsored by the JPMorgan Chase Foundation, high school students are learning firsthand what it’s like to work in health care and how to plan for a future career. While most of the Chase Excellence students come from low-income backgrounds, each earned a spot in the program through a rigorous selection process. “Extending learning opportunities, especially in low- to moderate-income communities, is a key component of Chase’s corporate philanthropy,” says Michelle Thomas, head of the JPMorgan Chase Foundation in Dallas. “We’re thrilled to start our third year of support for Chase Excellence at Methodist and to be encouraging these bright, gifted young people to hone their talents and give back to their communities.” Stephanie Leopard, director of volunteer services at Methodist Dallas, says the JPMorgan Chase Foundation grant gives the hospital a unique opportunity to help these future medical professionals. “Chase Excellence allows us to provide volunteer opportunities for these high school students after school,” she says. “It allows us to provide education to introduce them to careers they may know nothing or little about. And I’d like to think that these kids will come back and work at Methodist, because they’re from this community and they’ve invested in this program, so they have strong ties. “I also hope that we’ve helped them find a career path and given them some role models that they can relate to and emulate.” And, of course, a key component to the educational experience is service. Throughout the year, each student volunteered 50 hours or more at Methodist Dallas. “Volunteering at Methodist Dallas has been a great honor!” student Emelia Beltran says. “I love helping out the staff as well as interacting with different patients. Every day at Methodist I learned something new that I know can be helpful in my future choices.” To help support Chase Excellence, call 214-947-4555 or visit www.MethodistHealthSystem.org/Foundation. 2011 Crossroads Annual Report 17
