As we brace for the impact of Hurricane Milton on our communities, Empath Health is taking swift action to ensure our colleagues are supported during this critical time. Our Colleague Assistance Fund will be key in providing emergency relief to those affected, helping them with housing, transportation, child care, and other urgent needs.
We’d like to express our deepest gratitude to the Empath Health Board of Trustees for their compassionate approval of a $500K dollar-for-dollar match, as well as to our Hospice of Marion County Foundation, Suncoast Hospice Foundation, Tidewell Foundation, and Trustbridge Hospice Foundation Boards for their unwavering support. This could potentially grow the fund to over $1M – a lifeline for our colleagues and their families.
In addition, our Foundations are partnering with our HR team to allow colleagues across the state to donate unused PTO to the fund, which will be converted into cash. This is just one more way we’re coming together to support one another.
Now more than ever, we need your help. The faster we secure our colleagues, the faster we can ensure they are ready to serve our patients and communities.
If you’d like to join us in this effort, please consider making a donation. Every dollar makes a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
