At the hardest time in a kid’s life you’re giving them something consistent—SCHOOL
P.S. Have you rememberedSt. Vincent in your will? stvincent.planmylegacy.org
The gift that (literally) pays back!
Kids who are admitted to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent can stay on track thanks to you—no matter their school district and no matter their � nancial ability.
That’s something special. You should be proud!
Kids staying long-term in the hospital don’t have to worry about trying to catch up later. Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital has a full-time teacher on staff who works with kids who are in the hospital for 3 days or more. This program is fully funded by donations to the St. Vincent Foundation!
“School is a part of the healing process for our patients,” said teacher, Heather Wiselogle. “It’s part of treating the mind, body and spirit.”
YOU have made it possible for children from elementary to high school to stay on track, continue their education and heal mind, body and spirit.
Thank you, kind donors, and The Hoover Family Foundation, Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, Healthcare Initiatives, Inc., and Eric Medlen Memorial Golf Outing for helping kids be kids even as they face the unthinkable!
Deliver hope and care to those who need you most through a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA).
A CGA is a simple agreement in which you give cash or other assets, such as stock, in exchange for a fi xed annual amount—which then pays you (or maybe a family member you choose) for life. Assets that remain after your lifetime go 100% to the mission of St. Vincent.
For more about this and other a planned gifts, contact Steve Holwerda at [email protected] or (317)338-3267.

Donors saved Christina from stomach cancer via a mammogram.YOU are saving lives in unexpected ways through support of mobile mammogram screenings.When she turned 40, Christina knew she needed a mammogram. But, she was a working mom, chasing three beautiful kids at home. “Thank God the St. Vincent Mobile Screening van came to my offi ce,” said Christina.
Donors make mobile screenings possible. You save lives before cancer has a chance to take over!
Christina had breast cancer. Genetic tests also revealed that her breast cancer put her at a high risk for stomach cancer. “I had a screening [for stomach cancer] and thank God—no cancer. But because the gene that caused my breast cancer puts me at a higher risk I will have to have stomach screenings every 3 months for the rest of my life.”
“Without a mobile mammogram—I could be in a later stage of breast cancer AND be � ghting stomach cancer,” said Christina. Today her breast cancer is in remission and Christina’s doctors are vigilant to protect her from stomach cancer.
Thank you for being there for patients like Christina! Help is still needed—cancer will not be stopped without YOU!
