The stories in this year’s
Power of Giving
make one thing clear; your gifts
have a very real anddirect impact on the lives of our patients and the
community.With your help, we accomplished somuch.
Our oncology patients rely on us for cutting edge care and also receive
extra support from innovative programs likeCampOasis, and help to
pay for genetic counseling andmedications for our breast cancer
patients that insurance doesn’t cover. Our moms-to-be get extra help
with innovative prenatal education programsmade possible by a
generous gift to Virtua’s Center forWomen in Lumberton. Philanthropy
also allows us to continue to serve as a beacon of hope and healing for
our families inCamden. Our Joint Replacement Institute is at the
forefront of hip and knee replacements with innovative therapies that
are getting recognition nationwide through research studies. Research
that is only happening because of support from individuals like you.
As wework to continuallymeet the needs of our families, we are very
excited about plans for the future that will bringmore needed services
to the community. Enjoy a sneak peak in the pages that follow.
