Warm wishes to our LG Health Foundation donor family for a happy and healthy holiday season!

Below are some stories and updates from around LG Health that illustrate the impact philanthropy plays in our not-for-profit health system. We are so grateful for your generosity and for making such a difference in our community.

Gingham Gala Raises Over $95,000

The biennial Gingham Gala looked slightly different this year but was still an inspiring and successful fundraising event. Guests attended a drive-in-style event, watched a short film featuring LG Health physicians and staff reading letters written by their patients, and enjoyed powerful and uplifting musical performances.

The event benefits the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Patient Support Fund, which helps financially challenged patients to pay their household bills while they are undergoing treatment. Join us on a journey of gratitude by watching the film that was featured at the event.

Make a Gift to the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute

Your Impact on Breast Cancer Screening Services

The Suzanne H. Arnold Center for Breast Health team, in tandem with the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute team, gives hope to women diagnosed with breast cancer. In October, the LG Health Foundation hosted a virtual event, hosted by Dr. Nitin Tanna, Division Chief Breast Imaging. The event shared the bold steps that LG Health is taking to detect breast cancer at the earliest possible stage and treat the disease in the most precise way. The event celebrated how philanthropy has provided critical resources to advance breast cancer screening services and the need for ongoing support.

Our patients and their families often ask how they can “give back” to those who have made a difference in the care they received through Lancaster General Health. Our Healthcare Hero program allows you to recognize a caregiver who has made a meaningful impact on your life by making a gift in his/her honor.

Here’s are examples of what grateful patients say about Dr. Kerr at Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute. Thank you Dr. Kerr for making such an impact!

Although your gift amount remains confidential, we will notify your Healthcare Hero of your honorary gift. We'll also share your message of gratitude, acknowledging the good work they do for you and our community. Your gift of appreciation is guaranteed to stay local and change patient lives. Philanthropic support allows us to invest in people, programs, innovative technology, and new facilities across LG Health.
