SUPPORTING HEALING
DEAR FRIENDS,
February marks National Heart
Month, and in keeping with that
theme, we want you to know our
heart and passion is for the health,
comfort and well-being of you and
your loved ones. Please join us for
our Heart Health Fair on Saturday,
February 25. This will be a great
time to check up on your health,
as well as fun for everyone.
Jackson Hospital is the state’s
first Joint Commission–certified
hospital for heart attack care, and
we are now pleased to announce
the installation of our new state-of-
the-art cardiac catheterization lab.
This lab will allow our cardiologists
and vascular surgeons to perform
many additional procedures. The
Jackson Clinic Cardiology also wel-
comes interventional cardiologist
Beverly Stoudemire-Howlett, MD,
to their team.
In this issue of Partners, we pay
tribute to the generous donors to
the Jackson Hospital Foundation
who have faithfully provided much
needed support for the hospital
and its programs. These special
individuals and corporations are to
be commended.
One of the most visible projects
is the Foundation’s Healing Art
Collection, featuring River Region
artists. This permanent exhibit of
works that has been gifted to the
hospital offers visitors and staff
a unique environment to sup-
port healing and reduce anxiety.
The program was recently given
the inaugural Helen Steineker
Community Award from the
Montgomery Business Committee
for the Arts. I encourage you to
stop by the hospital and view this
amazing collection.
