TFHS Team Member Giving Campaign

tfhs team members

Our team members play a vital role in advancing TFHS’ mission of cultivating healthier, stronger communities. Their commitment extends beyond their daily responsibilities; when they generously donate to support the care they help deliver, it conveys a profound belief in the life-saving impact of our Health System.

This year we launched our internal fundraising campaign, Raising $75,000 for 75 Years of Tahoe Forest Health System. Team Member Giving funds raised this year will be designated to the Perinatal Emergency Readiness program. This program will focus on collaborative training and drills between the Obstetrics and Emergency departments to better prepare for obstetric emergencies as they arise. We are so close to reaching our goal of raising $75,000 with hopes to purchase instrument carts for both OB and ER as well as the maternal manikin, Victoria. This technologically advanced manikin can simulate a wide range of obstetric emergencies such as hemorrhaging and breach deliveries. With many Obstetric departments in the region closing their doors, preparation for these emergencies is crucial to our lifesaving efforts.

Hundreds of employees participate in the Foundation’s Team Member Giving Program. Read below to learn what inspired Jan Iida, Chief Nursing Officer, to become involved:

“I am a firm believer in giving back. I have a great deal of faith in our healthcare system, the staff that we work with every day, and in the care provided to our patients. We can help those who are in need by giving, and we can also give to purchase equipment to keep our expertise high or provide increased services to our community. TFHS team member giving is a great way to show my gratitude and to make a difference.”

By sharing valued skills, professional dedication, and charitable gifts with the Health System, staff members like Jan help provide critical resources and advance care. This benefits our patients, their families, your loved ones, and other employees. We are extraordinarily grateful for our staff’s commitment to your care!
