Thanks to your generosity, the foundation has continued to enhance and enrich the services, programs and facilities of Centra and has helped meet a wide range of health needs of our community. Most notably in 2012, many of your donations helped ease the burden of patients and families throughout our region who must travel to lynchburg for medical care. Your support of our successful campaign to open the rosemary & George Dawson Inn means we have met a critical need for overnight lodging close to Centra hospitals and medical centers. The 20-room inn, which opened in December, provides family-centered, home- like lodging and support services to patients and their family members who are receiving medical treatment far from their own homes. Your donations to our new pediatric Center at Centra lynchburg General Hospital allowed Centra to create an 11-bed pediatric center in close proximity to the emergency department. and your support of the Centra Foundation’s annual Fund Campaign meant: • More than 16,000 people attended community health education seminars • 2,000 people received free and important health screenings • patients in need received financial assistance for their medical care • nursing students received scholarship support In addition to providing monetary support, many of you volunteered your time and talent to enhance the foundation’s projects and programs, and for that, we thank you. In this annual report, meet some of the people—like yourself—who have made a difference in the lives of many people in our region.
