The holiday season is a time for giving. When you give to NMC Health, you’re not just helping those in need — you’re supporting patients, families, healthcare workers, and even your own health. Here’s how your donation can make a meaningful impact this season.
1. Bring Joy to Patients
During the holidays, many people find themselves in the hospital. Whether they are recovering from surgery or dealing with an illness, being in the hospital can be a lonely and challenging experience—especially during a time when most people are focused on family gatherings and celebrations. Your donation can help brighten their day.
By giving to NMC Health, you support our Sunshine Cart, a special program designed to bring small comforts to patients during their stay. These gifts — ranging from books to snacks and games — can make a big difference in helping patients feel a sense of normalcy and joy during their recovery.
2. Say Thank You to Nurses and Healthcare Workers
The healthcare workers in your community, especially nurses and doctors, work tirelessly to care for patients all year. While many people are off work during the holiday season spending time with their families, healthcare workers are on the front lines, providing care and ensuring that patients are well taken care of.
Giving shows your appreciation for their hard work. You are saying “thank you” to those who often work long hours during the busiest time of the year.
3. Bring the Community Together
When you give to NMC Health, you’re not just helping patients and healthcare workers — you’re helping bring the entire community together and showing you care about the health and well-being of others.
Donating to a local non-profit is a simple but effective way to give back to the community. When you give to NMC Health, you join a network of people who are dedicated to making the community a better, healthier place.
4. Boost Your Own Health By Giving
Did you know that giving to others can actually be good for your health? Studies show that acts of kindness, such as donating to a cause, can have physical and emotional benefits for the person giving. When you help others, it can reduce stress, boost your mood, and even strengthen your immune system.
The act of giving releases feel-good chemicals in the brain, like oxytocin, which can lower blood pressure and improve overall health. Donating to a cause you care about also creates a sense of purpose and satisfaction, which can improve your mental health. Those are reasons enough to give!
5. Spread Holiday Cheer
The holidays are a time to spread cheer, and your donation can help create a ripple effect of kindness. Every contribution counts. Your act of kindness can inspire others to do the same, making the holiday season brighter for everyone. It’s a way of sharing holiday cheer with those who need it most.
Your contribution, big or small, can make a real difference in the lives of those around you.
