Letter from Ann Caulkins, President, Novant Health Foundation

As we approach the end of a year like no other, I find myself filled with gratitude for the incredible dedication of our team members at Novant Health. Each day, our healthcare heroes and front-line workers have shown up to care for our community in a tumultuous and uncertain time. That, in itself, is remarkable.

While 2020 has brought challenges, Novant Health has been here for you, and we will continue to care for this community in 2021 and beyond. Our promise is to bring world-class clinicians, care and technology to all people and to treat all our patients with compassion, patience, empathy and respect.

As president of Novant Health Foundation, I want to thank you for continuing to support this important work. Your contributions are used for lifesaving technology, patient care, upgraded facilities and initiatives to ensure all people have access to healthcare as we listen and respond to the most important needs of the Thomasville community.

Thanks to two recent grants, Novant Health will be able to better serve women and breast cancer patients in the community. One grant will enable our team to provide mammograms and diagnostic imaging to members of the community, including underserved communities throughout Thomasville and Davidson County. Novant Health also received a $150,000 grant to purchase a new stereotactic 3D breast biopsy system, allowing our team to offer a full schedule of biopsy procedures at Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center Breast Care Center. The Thomasville community also rallied around breast cancer patients in October through our Flamingos and Paint the Town Pink initiatives.

In addition to our work in breast health, Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center Foundation raised $21,000 for behavioral services in the wellness and education center. Novant Health team members raised nearly $1,300 in support of the Oncology Nutritional Supplement Program, enough to provide 264 cases of supplements to our community’s cancer patients in need. And contributions to the Hope for Remarkable Team Aubergine Fund have provided team members with the resources and financial assistance they need to navigate a challenging time.

As we get ready to welcome new board members and begin a new year, I want to thank you for your commitment to Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center Foundation. None of the work we do would be possible without you.

Wishing you and yours a healthy and happy holiday season.

Sincerely,

Ann Caulkins
