What is the Difference in Partners In Health and Community Giving Campaign?
Partners In Health is the internal giving campaign at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. All gifts from faculty and staff directly benefit areas within the Medical Center.
The Community Giving Campaign provides faculty and staff the opportunity to give to the community at large.
Why Give?
"As leaders, it is our responsibility to show our colleagues within the Medical Center and beyond that we support the mission and values of Vanderbilt. If we do not make a strong commitment to giving, we can’t ask others to contribute in this time of economic tightening."
~Corey Slovis, M.D., F.A.C.P., F.A.C.E.P., Chair and Professor, Emergency Medicine
We have so many accomplishments to celebrate at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Because of this strength, we are an organization with the ability and willingness to positively impact the world around us like few others. Giving to the Medical Center shows further support of the work we do here every day. It is a testament to the commitment to your profession and our mission.
We know first-hand the potential impact that theory and discovery by one researcher, or care and treatment from one nurse or physician can have on the scientific and health care communities. The same is true with a gift. Even small gifts plant the seeds of progress. By demonstrating strong support as a group through giving, we can show the world how much confidence we have in our ability to lead and effect positive change.
Every gift through Partners In Health directly benefits the work of the Medical Center, and you have the option to designate specific areas you would like to support. Investing in the work of our Medical Center truly has a visible impact on the global community and serves as an example for those in the communities we serve. As internal support builds, we begin a cycle of giving that promotes Vanderbilt University Medical Center as an instrument of innovation, change, growth and discovery—one putting philanthropic dollars to good use through the researchers, nurses, physicians and staff within our walls.
Thank you for your support of Partners In Health!
