Our Stories

Each year we recognize the facility with the highest percentage of employees contributing to the Hope Fund within their category*. The Campaign Leader and CEO from these facilities will be invited to Nashville to attend the Celebration of Giving event taking place in April 2014, which includes the National Frist Humanitarian Awards. Additionally, these facilities will receive $5,000 to be spent on their employees.
