Mission Giving

At Mission Health, while making life better for others begins with our patients, residents and their families, it extends to our caring staff and the communities in which we all work, play, and live.

Through Mission Giving, our community involvement program, we are able to extend our reach collectively and individually through three initiatives that work together to provide social, strategic, and financial support to individuals and organizations that share our goal in fostering strong, healthy people and communities.

Providing care to someone who is suffering from an illness can be physically and emotionally draining – that’s why we created the Giving Back to Caregivers Initiative. We offer caregivers helpful resources, strategies, fun activities and support group options that not only encourage discussions about the stresses of caregiving but also celebrate the willing, supportive spirit caregivers share.

Many of Mission Health’s employees are passionate about donating or volunteering their own time to help others in their respective cities, towns and communities. Our Giving Back to Neighbors Grant Initiative is designed to encourage and recognize Mission Health employees who volunteer their personal time to support a registered 501(c)(3) charity by awarding $100 grants that, if approved, will be donated to that charity on behalf of an employee.

The Alzheimer’s Association and the American Heart Association are two national health organizations that do very important work on a local, regional, and national level. We created the Giving Back Together Initiative to work together as a company to champion the efforts of these organizations while creating meaningful and lasting relationships between the organizations’ chapters, our home office, and the areas in which we operate.

Mission Health encourages & facilitates charitable giving not only to our employees and residents, but towards our local communities to provide the best Mission Experience possible. At the Home Office, we have made it our mission to serve and contribute to our communities annually by supporting organizations such as R’Club Child Care based out of St. Petersburg, where we donate presents to a family in need.

Companywide, we participate in charitable events such as Carol For A Cause, where proceeds are donated to Hunger Relief organization, Feeding America. In 2020, Mission employees and even residents out at our communities got together to participate in Carol for A Cause fundraisers by singing songs that brought joy in a difficult year.

Mission Health also strives to provide our employees with an optimal working experience, and that includes giving back to those who work hard to provide the best Mission Experience possible.

Last year, Mission Health initiated the employee relief program for employees who have recently suffered unexpected hardships. The employee relief program serves as a temporary safety net program where Mission Health comes together as one to assist our devoted employees when disasters strike, and relief fund packages are dispersed based upon the extent and type of situation. This program was one of the most requested by our employees: not by those looking for relief themselves, but for fellow colleagues who may be in need of help.

Likewise, Mission believes in giving back to the greater community. After noticing many charitable giving organizations, particularly food pantries, struggle in 2020, Mission came together to decide on a new holiday season initiative: each community chose a local food bank/pantry to receive a gift of $500 on their behalf.

It is important to Mission Health that the CARES values of Character, Attitude, Respect, Excellence, and Service are reflected in everything we do, and that includes the ways we give back. Our communities also participate in a wide variety of local charity and fundraising events, organize teams for annual Alzheimer’s Association walks, and come together in support of each other when the need arises.

We look forward to continuing to have a meaningful impact on local, state, and national levels in the future.
