The Hospital Foundation in support of Advent Health Polk recently donated $4,000 to the AdventHealth Polk Teammate Care Fund. During the transition from St. Luke's Hospital to AdventHealth Polk, the Foundation was not able to accept donations from hospital employees to support the Teammate Care Fund. This fund is administered by Hospital and Foundation staff to assist hospital team members with short-term financial assistance. When the Foundation Board learned that the Teammate Care Fund was almost depleted during the transition, they voted to contribute an amount equal to what employees would have normally donated. The Teammate Care fund is now operating as expected and employees can begin contributing in early 2026.
The Hospital Foundation and AdventHealth Polk worked with employees to decorate gingerbread houses in preparation for the Christmas season. The winners were chosen from almost 20 entries created by departments or individuals.
