Corrections It always our most sincere intent to provide accurate information in our Medcen Happenings publications; unfortunately, we overlooked a crucial piece of information in our last issues’ story, Miracle Child Amare Threatt. We inadvertently left out Dr. Lane, the pediatric anesthesiologist who was a vital part in the medical team that was comprised to take care of Amare Threatt and his mother during the delivery process. Please know that this mistake does not undermine the important role he played throughout the delivery and subsequent surgery. We are sorry for the omission!

Donor Appreciation Party By: Debbie Schuchmann

16 Medcen Happenings SPRING 2012 When an individual or organization decides to make an investment of a major gift to the Hospital one of the first things we want to do is thank them and thank them profusely! We want to let them know how their gift will benefit the patients and families served, we Donor Appreciation Party want to show them we’re good stewards with their resources and we want to give them the honor and recognition they deserve. So once a year the Medcen Board of Trustees hosts a party for all our major gifts donors (Major Gifts are gifts of $10,000 or more).

This year the party was held on a Thursday evening, May 10th at the newly renovated home of Harriette and Marty Carter, major gifts donors themselves. Their beautiful home was the perfect setting to entertain and thank over 100 guests. It’s a special night when we’re able to bring so many of our supporters together ~ the common bond being they all share the same commitment to high quality health care right here in Macon, Georgia. It’s absolutely mind boggling when you look around and think about each person’s gift adding up to make vast improvements for the health care of the residents of Central and South Georgia.

Of course, Don Faulk, CEO and President of Central Georgia Health System is present to give his personal thanks to everyone there. With the costs of healthcare rising and reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid diminishing, he is acutely aware of the importance of each gift. In a brief statement of gratitude, he recognizes the generosity and dedication of our donors and emphasizes the fact their gifts are used to save and positively impact the lives of our patients and families every day at the Hospital.

We all like knowing how our gifts are used and how they’re making a real difference. One of the best reasons to give to the Medical Center of Central Georgia is because you can see your gifts making a tangible impact on the lives of others. In addition to special recognition from Mr. Faulk, we also invited May and Jim Davis, among our newest Callaway Society members to share their unique story. May had the rapt attention of every party goer as she gave her personal testimony about the care and treatment her mother received (please see page 8 to learn more).

Being surrounded by so many generous individuals and corporations is awesome. Most of them are not looking for thanks or any special recognition, but they do want to know their investment has been used wisely. This event allows us to assure them Medcen is a good steward of their precious resources and to give them honor and gratitude as well.
