COVID-19

As the number of COVID-19 cases started trending up again this summer, Memorial Foundation Board Chair Geri Boyer wanted the Foundation to make a difference in the community.

For those who work in healthcare, we must accept that treating patients with COVID-19 will be just another one of the many illnesses we will see on a regular basis.

As the community continues to experience an increase in COVID-19 cases, we want to provide information about where you can receive a COVID-19 test if you are experiencing symptoms or if you have no symptoms.

COVID-19 didn’t stop Memorial Cardiac Rehabilitation employee and Zoar United Church of Christ parish health nurse Shelly Doerr, RN, CCRP, from pivoting one of the church’s popular annual events into a virtual one that raised money to benefit Memorial’s Healthcare Heroes.

In battling the COVID-19 virus, BJC HealthCare workers embody the essence of heroism.

Over the last several years, Memorial Foundation has hosted Un!que Spirits & Sweets, a fall fundraiser benefiting The Harold & Dixie LePere Breast Health Center at Memorial. Of course, COVID-19 made hosting such an event impossible, so the Foundation ventured into new territory with a virtual fundraiser.
