Patient Comfort and Kindness Grants
Each year, Hospital staff submit applications to our Patient Comfort and Kindness Fund for grants of up to $5,000 to help cover the costs of those ‘little things’ that go a long way in providing comfort to the patients St. Joe’s serves. These grants are made possible through thoughtful donations from our community and an anonymous donor known as the Ever Hopeful Fund.
In the 2024 – 2025 fiscal year, the Ever Hopeful Fund increased their donation to $200,000 allowing us to fund 71 grants across 65 different programs and departments at our Hospital for things like translated materials to better support the diverse community we serve, breastfeeding pillows to support patients after the delivery of their newborns, personal toiletry and clothing items that promote dignity during addictions care, and updated waiting areas that feature new furniture, TVs, and children’s activities.
