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.
Message from Chairs
It all begins with us. It all begins with me. To tackle a problem we want to change, the solution begins within us. As we kick off the Medical Center’s Partners In Health 2009 internal giving campaign, each of us has made a significant contribution to the increasing visibility of Vanderbilt University Medical Center on a global scale. Whether we teach, treat or research, our roles at Vanderbilt, by default, make us leaders.
As leaders, we meet our celebrations and challenges with the same rigor. Partners In Health offers an opportunity to accelerate the positive global impact of Vanderbilt—beyond our daily commitments through the work we do—by supporting our mission through charitable giving. We’ve all heard the current messages of persevering through tough economic times, and that has special meaning to us. We, as Vanderbilt University Medical Center, simply cannot step back and watch these challenges diminish the progress we have made. We must continue to grow and improve at an ever-increasing pace to emerge from these challenges stronger than ever. Charitable giving is vital to our mission, and it begins with us.
Welcome to Partners In Health 2009! We hope this Web site gives you a comprehensive overview of this year’s campaign. It will answer many of your questions about the campaign and give you the opportunity to give—here and now through an online payroll deduction option. You will also learn about other giving options.
Please take a moment to learn more about the campaign by browsing our site. If you still have questions, feel free to contact us.
