University of Maryland Shore Regional Health’s foundations are joining together to promote #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide.

UM Shore Regional Health supports three different foundation organizations including Chester River Health Foundation, Dorchester General Hospital Foundation and Memorial Hospital Foundation. These foundations rely on their community’s support and generosity to continue to improve and upgrade their local hospital’s equipment and technology for the benefit of patients. In addition to equipment for the hospitals and various outpatient sites in their respective communities, it is through donations that the foundations have been able to support hospital staff through partial and full scholarships to further educate and improve the quality of care that patients receive.

By participating in #GivingTuesday, celebrated locally this year on each Tuesday throughout the months of November and December, UM Shore Regional Health’s foundations hope to raise awareness of the vital role philanthropy plays in providing local healthcare and to encourage community members to make a donation to support patient care at their local hospitals and outpatient sites before the end of the calendar year.
