The 2013 Cornette Ball was another success and we have all of you to thank for it. Thank you very much for your generosity and support, as all of the proceeds from the Ball will help underserved children and families in the Tri-State… families who can’t afford to pay for their medical needs… families who trust St. Mary’s to give them hope when all hope appears to be lost.
We always talk about the importance of communities at St. Mary’s Medical Center. Our executives, leadership, physicians, nurses, associates, patients, families and Board members form our “Community of Faith†within the hospital. Our partnerships with community leaders and donors, like you, enable us to spread the word of our Mission into the region. It allows us to sell-out the West Baden Springs Hotel, once again, with additional rooms at French Lick, so those in attendance can learn more about our Healthcare Ministry.
This year, we honored the passion and dedication of Drs. David Cottom, Mariellen Dentino, Stanton Schultz and Stewart Smith with the Steward of St. Vincent de Paul Award. These pioneering Nephrologists changed the healthcare culture in Evansville and the Tri-State forever. These physicians introduced Nephrology to the area and made an immediate impact. Before they came to town, people suffering from kidney disease either moved away or died. Drs. Cottom, Dentino, Schultz and Smith definitely made a difference.
And, so did you. If you attended this year’s Cornette Ball or sent us a sponsorship, thank you for making a difference in the lives of those we serve who need help. If you couldn’t go this year, we hope to see you there next October and we thank you for your consideration.
That’s because the need will always be there. And, the St. Mary’s Medical Center Foundation will continue to do our part finding impactful solutions to those needs. But, we can’t do this alone. We need the help of our community partners. We need you. And, we appreciate your commitment to our Mission.
