Gift Shop Matches Donations up to $50K for Jennie Edmundson Hospital Foundation Medi-Bus

To help the Jennie Edmundson Hospital Foundation (jehfoundation.org) reach their fundraising goal of $100,000 to replace their Medi-Bus as a part of their 2020 Transportation Campaign, the Jennie Edmundson Methodist  Hospital Gift Shop is offering a matching grant up to $50,000. For every dollar donated to the foundation, the volunteer-run gift shop will match a dollar. 

For nearly four decades, Jennie Edmundson Hospital Foundation has provided transportation at no charge to people dealing with chronic disease or undergoing therapy. Each year, the Medi-Bus Patient Transportation Program gives rides to approximately 3,000 patients and travels more than 28,000 miles. In many cases, the individuals who ride the Medi-Bus are elderly or low income, with few alternatives for transportation. Without this service, many individuals with limited means would simply not continue their treatment or make their appointment for physical therapy, chemotherapy, radiation treatment, wound therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, or other essential healthcare needs. This service is 100% funded by donations.

The campaign to replace the foundation’s Medi-Bus has already received tremendous support from employees, volunteers, and the Leadership Team at Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital. The campaign will continue through the end of the year, and the foundation is grateful for the ongoing contributions from the community.  

Please consider helping the Jennie Edmundson Hospital Foundation keep the wheels on the bus rolling by making a contribution to the 2020 Transportation Campaign.  For more information or to make a donation, go online to jehfoundation.org.
