NorthEast Foundation 2018 Annual Report

CAMPAIGN ANNUAL REPORT: YEAR TWO
2017-2020
We Give First so when you or someone you love needs medical treatment or care,
Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS) NorthEast is the First and Best choice for
healthcare.
We Give First is the annual giving campaign for the NorthEast Foundation and CHS
NorthEast. With an $8 million fundraising goal from 2017-2020, every dollar raised
through the campaign and the NorthEast Foundation stays at CHS NorthEast to
Improve Health, Elevate Hope and Advance Healing for all.
In 2016, the NorthEast Foundation Board of Directors approved to continue supporting
10 areas within our hospital. The fundraising model and campaign allows donors the
ability to designate which area of CHS NorthEast their gift will benefit.
• We Give First to Cabarrus College of Health Sciences to provide
scholarships to the best and brightest future nurses and care providers
• We Give First to Cancer Services so patients in our community can receive
their treatment close to home
• We Give First to Cardiac Services to provide the region with a full-service
heart care program
• We Give First to Emergency Services so the Emergency Department at
CHS NorthEast and the two freestanding Emergency Departments in
Harrisburg and Kannapolis can save lives
• We Give First to the NorthEast Foundation Endowment so donations
impact our hospital over a long period of time to sustain programs
• We Give First to the Greatest Need Fund so the most urgent needs and
areas of the hospital are supported
• We Give First to the Jeff Gordon Children’s Center so our neighbor’s child
receives the care he or she needs in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
• We Give First to Neurosciences because to someone having a stroke,
every minute and every second counts
• We Give First to Surgical Services because precision is key
• We Give First to Women’s Services so the 20,000 people seen annually
get reliable and cost effective life-saving mammograms
