Employee Volunteerism
Far beyond the charity care provided through hospital resources, Siskin Hospital staff members created two internal initiatives to support the needs of patients, the Patient Care Fund and the Clothes Closet.
The Patient Care Fund is dedicated to meeting patients' needs not met by patient resources or payor sources. Each year, employees raise thousands of dollars for the Patient Care Fund through internal events and fundraisers.
For patients who are unable to afford appropriate clothing for therapy and their rehabilitation stay, staff members organized and continuously fill the Clothes Closet, making clean, suitable clothing always available.
Each year, Siskin Hospital staff initiate and actively support hospital-wide campaigns to benefit the United Way, the Forgotten Child Fund, Santa for All Seasons, the Chattanooga Food Bank and the Community Kitchen, and give of their personal time as volunteers for more than 20 local nonprofit organizations
