We want to say thank you again to the incredible sponsors who made the first Sip & Savor Soirée a success this past Saturday! Presented by Voya Financial Advisors - Jackson, TN, this event was a time of community and celebration with amazing dishes, drinks, and desserts to raise funds for healthcare initiatives in our region. Stay tuned for pictures to recap the night!

Thank you so much to Novolex's Jackson location for donating $1,500 to support breast cancer patients at Kirkland Cancer Center! Because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Novolex sold these pink shirts to its employees as a fundraiser. So many patients and their families will benefit from this generous donation. We greatly appreciate Novolex's support!

Today, we had the privilege of attending a reception at JMCGH for West Tennessee Healthcare's Heart Recovery Program. We were able to hear from several physicians as well as a local patient who shared his incredible story of how the Impella heart pump saved his life. This reception was a celebration of the patients and families throughout West Tennessee who have benefited from the Impella device and also of the hardworking healthcare providers who have cared for these patients. Thank you to Abiomed, the company that makes the Impella device, for sponsoring the event!

The Sip & Savor Soirée is already TOMORROW! We are proud to share that 100% of the money raised from this event will directly support our Patient Needs fund and our Making Room for Love campaign to bring the first hospice home to West Tennessee. Thank you to all of our sponsors, ticket purchasers, and vendors for being a part and for helping us to improve healthcare in our community. Watch this video to hear Dr. Steven Williams, a hospitalist at West Tennessee Healthcare, tell us from his physician perspective why the Patient Needs fund and hospice home campaign are vital for our region.
