Did you know that for every 1,000 women who get a mammogram… 🩷 100 will return for an additional mammogram and/or ultrasound due to something seen in the initial mammogram 🩷 60 of those will be reassured that their imaging is normal 🩷 20 will be asked to return in 6 months for a follow-up exam 🩷 20 will be recommended to have a needle biopsy When breast cancer is found early and treated appropriately, women have a five-year survival rate of 98% to 100%. Unfortunately, many women face financial, environmental and other barriers that prevent or discourage access to care. That’s where Novant Health Mobile Mammography Cruisers expand access to remarkable care beyond the walls of our clinics and hospitals. Through Novant Health foundations, meaningful giving supports not only the buses that are built out for patient care, but also in some cases the technology built into the bus as well as mammogram screenings for under and uninsured patients. Thank you to all our philanthropy partners and dedicated team members who help ensure easier access and financial support when and where our patients need it.

Novant Health Foundation remembers the dedication of Tansukh (Tan) Ganatra and his family to healthcare. Their generosity through Novant Health Foundation embodies a deep belief in the power of community to foster collective well-being. Because of philanthropic hearts like theirs, we opened a state-of-the-art cardiac rehabilitation space in the Novant Health Claudia W. and John M. Belk Heart & Vascular Institute. It is also home to the Tansukh, Sarla and Rajesh Ganatra lobby, which stands as a testament to their enduring impact. We extend our love and condolences to the Ganatra family with grateful hearts for their unwavering support. Pictured above: Tan (left) with Sarla and Rajesh Ganatra

In honor of World Heart Day, we’re sharing the inspiring story of Wilburn "Wib" Manuel, a cherished member of our Novant Health family since 1995. Wib’s health journey began with his first heart attack at the age of 52, and over the years he has faced additional significant health challenges, including another heart attack and a courageous battle against lung cancer. Through every obstacle, Wib has been supported by the unwavering care of his Novant Health teams. In support of his health journey, Wib has discovered a caring community at the Cardio-Pulmonary Rehab & Wellness Center. It’s a place where Wib feels not just safe but genuinely cared for as he navigates his recovery and wellness. His gratitude extends deeply to the entire team, with special recognition for Hope Facemyer, a remarkable Cardio-Pulmonary Rehab RN 💜 To show his appreciation for Hope, Wib honored her with the Guardian Angel ceremony, where she was given her wings for the exceptional care and encouragement she provided. Her dedication was a beacon of hope and a testament to the healing power of compassionate care. Thank you, Hope, for being a Guardian Angel to Wib and many others. Your unwavering support lights the way to recovery and reassures our patients and their families that they are in safe hands.

We are profoundly moved by the strength of survivors, and Kasey’s journey is a powerful testament to the deep bonds that can form between patients and their caregivers. What truly sets the Novant Health caregivers apart is their commitment to personalized care. They listen, they understand, and they craft treatment plans tailored to the unique needs and wishes of each patient. This was especially true in Kasey’s experience with Dr. Buckingham. Today, "Ms. B." is back in her classroom, teaching and inspiring children, and she holds immense gratitude for Dr. Buckingham, expressing it in the most heartfelt words. “Thank you for everything you do, not just for me, but for all those whose lives you've touched. You have made an immeasurable difference in my life, and for that I am eternally grateful.” To express her deep appreciation, Kasey made a gift in Dr. Buckingham’s honor to support cancer patients, programs and team member education at the Novant Health Zimmer Cancer Institute, and awarded Dr. Buckingham with the Guardian Angel recognition award, an award that celebrates team members who go above and beyond for patients in their care. Remarkable medical care goes beyond safety, quality, and reliability. It’s compassionate. It’s personal. It's expertise built on years of education and hands-on training. If you or someone you know would like to say, “thank you” to a caregiver in a meaningful way, learn more about the Guardian Angel program ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gw3wvVdt #novanthealth #novanthealthfoundation #gratitude #NHguardianangel #guardianangel #ovariancancermonth #cancersurvivor #cancerfree | Michelle Hoadley | Jennifer Whitmore | Tanya Armour | David Hardin | Kasey Bienkowski | Dr. Lindsey Buckingham | Dr. Michael Papagikos | Joanie VanDerSchaegen

This week, we’re so excited to celebrate the more than 1,000 remarkable Novant Health APPs during this National APP Week. While we acknowledge the value of these advanced practice providers all year long, we want to take an extra moment to pause and honor them and their contributions 💜 We know that Novant Health could not create a remarkable patient experience, deliver access throughout our communities, provide expert care, and address health equity without the courage and compassion of our APPs. At Novant Health Foundation we partner with leadership to understand the needs of our patients and team members to help our teams excel at providing remarkable care. “The support from donors helps to remove practice barriers, decrease moral distress and assists in sustaining APP practice over time,” shared Ginger Sims, director of growth and development for Novant Health APPs. To each of our nurse practitioners, physician assistants, certified nurse midwives, clinical pharmacist practitioners, and certified registered nurse anesthetists - thank you for living with purpose and providing remarkable care! If you’re interested in supporting team members in honor of National APP week, consider giving through a regional Novant Health Foundation serving your community ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g4Jgu-kK #novanthealth #APPweek #nursing #novanthealthfoundation | Emily Epling | Detra Chambers Robinson | Rand Pennington MSN, FNP-C, AGACNP-BC, BC-ADM | Melissa York-Tharpe | Tina Hayes | Danny Menser, MHA, MSNA, CRNA | Isaac Rowner | Adam Kokoszka | Victoria King, MD, ACC | Navin Bhojwani, MD, FACOG | Pamela Oliver, MD | Aram Alexanian, MD, FAAFP | David Priest,MD,MPH,FIDSA | Benjamin J.

For Pediatric Cancer Awareness month, we’re honored to highlight the incredible generosity of Cory Reed with J&A Service. In partnership with KB Titan Racing, they’re making a profound difference for children battling cancer in our pediatric oncology & hematology clinic at Novant Health Hemby Children’s Hospital. This mission is especially personal for Cory Reed, a professional drag racer with the NHRA, as his son, Theodore Reed, was diagnosed with leukemia at just two years old. The care and support they’ve received during their journey have inspired them to give back to families facing similar challenges. Through his efforts, with J&A Service and KB Titan Racing, they’re helping bring comfort and joy to these brave children with toys, food, blankets, and more. To finish this month on a strong note, join Cory and his team in giving to support our littlest patients. Your support makes a direct impact in brightening the lives of young cancer warriors like Theodore, during their toughest days ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e9wrAj6d Want to cheer on Cory at his upcoming races? He’ll be at the NHRA Midwest Nationals, September 27-29, sporting the Novant Health Hemby Children’s Hospital logo on his car 🏎️💜 #novanthealth #pediatriccancerawareness #hembychildrenshospital #NHRA #novanthealthfoundation | NHRA: Championship Drag Racing

Our dedicated members of the Women’s Council, a group of philanthropy partners who have been supporting women’s health needs in Winston-Salem for over 16 years, recently gathered to explore new areas of support for their 2025 philanthropy project of the year. Each year, the Women’s Council philanthropy project is determined through membership voting, ensuring that dollars raised support the projects of greatest importance to council members. Last year, thanks to their collective giving and generosity, we introduced a high-risk maternity patient navigator, providing crucial assistance for expectant mothers in the area. This year, Women’s Council has been busy raising funds for a new ultrasound machine, which supports patients receiving care at Novant Health Today’s Woman OB/GYN, located in Winston-Salem’s historically Black Boston-Thurmond community. After today’s gathering, members will vote on which philanthropy project they want to support in 2025! Stay tuned for more updates on the important work ahead - we will announce the Women’s Council philanthropy project for 2025 at the Impact gathering in November!

Earlier today, we held the ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the expansion of the St. Jude Affiliate Clinic at Novant Health Hemby Children’s Hospital. Through this renovation and expansion our patients will be transported from the Amazon to the Arctic surrounded by our expert team of clinicians. The newly opened space will allow us to better support our research team, in partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, give us space to host multidisciplinary clinics and create space for even our sickest patients to still experience the joy of childhood.

Earlier this week, we celebrated an awe-inspiring 25 years (!) of patient support through the Novant Health Kemp Bessant Support Center. That’s 25 years of our philanthropic community and team members providing services to those in our community as they traverse their personal cancer journey or the journey of a loved one. As care teams offer compassionate care and a helping hand for patients and patient families during some of their most challenging times, our sincere gratitude for what our partners make possible through philanthropy continues to grow. Over the past six years alone, well over 2,300 lives have been impacted by you, our philanthropic partners. Because of your meaningful giving, you have provided access to counseling services, case management sessions, medication assistance and special care items including wigs from our lending boutique through Novant Health Foundation to Novant Health patients. Your generosity makes a tangible difference in the lives of every person who steps through the doors of the Kemp Bessant Support Center. Tiffany Young, supervisor of Psychosocial Oncology for Novant Health Cancer Institute, Kemp Bessant Support Center, summarized the work of the center perfectly: “Along with advances in cancer treatment, Novant Health Kemp Bessant Support Center has evolved in our approach to providing psychosocial oncology care. A genuine passion to improve the experience of individuals whose lives have been changed by cancer is what guides our work. The endorsement of Novant Health’s leadership drives us to develop specialized programming, counseling, and case management. The generosity of our donors and community partners makes it possible to provide help and hope when it's needed most. I am deeply grateful for the past 25 years, and I am excited for what the future holds.“ Because of you, the Kemp Bessant Center remains a beacon of care and community, changing lives for the better each and every day.
