Foundation Receives Komen Grant


The Grady Memorial Hospital Foundation received a grant from the Susan G. Komen
for the Cure Central and Western Oklahoma in the amount of $50,192.00 for a
cooperative project between the Foundation, Grady Memorial Hospital, and
Access Health Care to provide educational programs and mammography screening
for medically underserved screening and treatment.

Dana McElroy coordinator for mammography services at Grady Memorial Hospital
will serve as the educator for a variety of community seminars for women related
to breast health. She will also serve eligible patients that are referred through Access.
“We are very appreciative or this grant from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure that
will allow us to help educate and screen medically underserved women in our
community,” said McElroy. “With early detection of breast cancer, lives can be saved.”

Supporting Community Health Services

The Grady Memorial Hospital Foundation is a planned giving organization that supports
the outstanding medical services and programs of Grady Memorial Hospital. The nonprofit
Foundation is dedicated to fund-raising efforts on behalf of the Hospital, which has
achieved a reputation as a medical facility with the finest physicians, as well as an array
of specialty care services, community health programs and quality of life activities.

Since its founding in 1959, Grady Memorial Hospital has been fulfilling a mission to
provide compassionate, exemplary, cost-effective health care services that are responsive
to the ever-changing needs of our community. What began as a modest enterprise has
evolved into a multifaceted beacon of health care excellence. Grady Memorial is home
to many leading-edge health care services.

As a nonprofit organization, Grady Memorial relies on the generosity of friends within
our walls and within the communities we serve to uphold our exceptional standard of
care. The Foundation is a separate organization established to conduct fund-raising
activities for the sole benefit of the Hospital, and to manage and allocate revenues
to the Hospital in accordance with donor wishes. Over the years, many caring individuals,
corporations and foundations have played a significant role in bringing new medical
technologies, new facilities and enhanced patient care initiatives to our community.

Legacy of Caring
Legacy of Excellence

Generous community support is rooted in Grady's legacy of caring and is part of our
blueprint for the future as we move forward and continue to expand and enhance its
medical capabilities, bringing an ever-increasing quality of health care to our community.

A substantial number of forward-thinking supporters wish to preserve Grady Memorial's
legacy of health care excellence for future generations by including a gift to Grady Memorial
in their estate planning. Aside from the tax advantages associated with planned giving
strategies, making a deferred gift allows you to support a favorite charity without
jeopardizing current or future income. By including Grady Memorial in your estate
planning, you have the opportunity to affiliate yourself indefinitely with the Hospital
and ensure that outstanding health care will continue to enrich the lives of patients for
generations to come.

Any individual, corporation, foundation or other organization may make a gift payable
to the Grady Memorial Hospital Foundation. Gifts or bequests to the Foundation obtain
the same maximum tax benefits for the donor as contributions made directly to the
Hospital or to any other publicly supported institution. All gifts made to Grady Memorial
remain at Grady Memorial and are used for the sole benefit of the Hospital and the
community we serve.
