The Spirit of St. Mary's - St. Mary's Hospital
Dear Friends of St. Mary’s,
                      With 2018 coming to an end, I would like to take this opportunity
                      to say thank you for making this year incredibly successful for
                      St. Mary’s Health Care System and St. Mary’s Foundation! This
                      success would not be possible without the generous support
                      of our donors. On behalf of the entire ministry, thank you for
                      helping St. Mary’s as we continually strive to live our mission to
                      be a compassionate and transforming healing presence within
                      our communities.
I am excited to announce that St. Mary’s Health Care System was named 2018 Large
Hospital of the Year by the Georgia Alliance of Community Hospitals at its 35th Annual
Conference held on October 10-12. St. Mary’s was chosen for the award based on its
commitment to the preservation of Georgia’s network of community hospitals as well
as the future of medicine. This is the fourth time in 12 years St. Mary’s received this
recognition! I am extremely proud of this achievement and want to congratulate all
of our colleagues, physicians and volunteers who helped make this honor possible.
For the fourth year in its four-year history, the Internal Medical Resident Program at
St. Mary’s filled all ten openings for its new class of medical residents. The new class of
residents began practicing at St. Mary’s on July 1, 2018, shortly after the initial class of   MEET OUR BOARD MEMBERS
residents, who began practicing with us in 2015, completed their three-year residency
program and graduated in June 2018. It has been a privilege to be a part of the process        2018 St. Mary’s Health Care System Board of Directors
of helping this first class of residents become physicians, and I am excited to see the
continued growth of our residency program with this new class!                                 Chris Caldwell                 Dessa Morris

         The Foundation is excited to see how much BBBC raised in 2018 from their numerous

         and worked by Jay and Teresa Abbott, founders of BBBC, Dwight and Leslie Standridge
         and many other BBBC volunteers. A simple thank you does not express the Foundation’s
         appreciation for BBBC!

         special edition breast cancer jersey that was auctioned off after the game along with several

Giving Societies
                   Established in 2005, The 1938 Society is a philanthropic group of individuals who have come together with a shared
                  commitment to the continual enhancement of patient care and service quality at St. Mary’s. The 1938 Society is open
                           to those individuals donating a minimum of $10,000 to strengthen St. Mary’s facilities and services.
                    The 1938 Society name commemorates the year in which the Sisters came to Athens, at the request of area leaders,
                              to reopen St. Mary’s. The society supports today’s leaders who represent those same values.
