Giving Well - Summer 2014 - (Page 2)

New Vision, Same Great Care Dear Friends, This is a pivotal time for Erlanger Health System as we begin to embrace a bold, new vision for the future of healthcare in our region. Plans for enhanced facilities and services throughout the system will continue to focus on quality care while providing our community additional services in a newer, healing environment. This is also an opportunity to look back and recognize some of the wonderful supporters who have given time, talent and financial assistance. In this issue of Giving Well, we would like to highlight just a few of those who have helped us continue our mission of advancing excellence in healthcare by fostering the involvement of philanthropic partners. We would also like to remember a very special friend and staunch supporter of the foundation, Gordon Street Jr. Gordon served as chair of the Erlanger Health System Foundations board until his untimely death this past March. He will be remembered as a good, kind and thoughtful man with a generous spirit. We will miss his wisdom and guidance.

Gordon Street Jr., chair of the Erlanger Health System Foundations board, died March 14. Gordon served two terms on our board and was a tireless advocate for the advancement of healthcare in the Chattanooga area. He was a principled and committed leader who spent most of his life helping numerous philanthropic causes. We have been blessed that Erlanger Hospital was one of them. His leadership and enthusiasm will be greatly missed. Once, when asked why he made a generous gift, he said, "I just wanted to leave the world better than I found it." Because of his generous spirit and caring nature he has left the Erlanger Health System a better place.
