Giving is at the core of our culture here at Hackensack Meridian Health. As team members, we know first-hand how critical it is to come together as a community. We see first-hand the great work that happens when team members join together, every day and in times of critical care.

For all that you already do, thank you. You support team members through various team member assistance funds, various initiatives, funds and events throughout the network, all with the goal providing world class patient care, innovative research, clinical excellence and academic growth. 

Since late December, Puerto Rico has been suffering from a multitude of earthquakes rippling through the island, hitting infrastructure already weakened from Hurricane Maria - a Category 5 Hurricane - back in September 2017. It has been difficult to watch the devastating effects these natural disasters have had on Puerto Rico. 

With Puerto Rico being a territory of the United States, we are doing what we can to help our fellow citizens during their time of need. Hackensack Meridian Health will be donating $20,000 worth of supplies to Puerto Rico Rise UP for the victims of the earthquakes.

To support the relief efforts on the island, we have also set up this fundraising page. Any donation, no matter the size, will have a tremendous impact on their relief efforts. Money raised will benefit the All Hands and Hearts charitable organization. To learn more about All Hands and Hearts visit www.allhandsandhearts.org/programs/puerto-rico-hurricane-relief/)

Our hearts go out to everyone suffering from these events and we thank you, in advance, for your generosity.
