Community Health Network Foundation

Health Literacy Foundation’s Dr. Joyner presented 100 holiday books to Community Health Network’s Vice President of Women’s and Children’s Services and Judy Christner, Community Hospital North’s director of pediatrics, which will be given to patients this holiday.

Last week, we got a call from Dr. Joyner who represents the Health Literacy Foundation, which was established in 2003 to enable medically vulnerable and underserved populations to gain access to the most reliable and relevant health information and materials. The foundation was calling wanting to donate free holiday books that we could pass out to our pediatric patients during the holiday week. We were thrilled to learn they wanted to give presents to our patients staying with us during the holiday!

The hard-back book, titled “Bear Crimbo,” is beautifully illustrated and was written by M.W. Goss. We’ll be distributing 100 of them to patients at Community Hospitals East, North and South and at some of our Community Physicians of Indiana practices.

Thank you to Dr. Joyner and everyone at the Health Literacy Foundation!

Happy Holidays to all of our donors and friends!
