Jackson Hospital | Partners | Winter 2020

www.jackson.org 3 DEAR FRIENDS, A new year is underway and 2020 looks to be full of excite- ment at Jackson Hospital. Last year brought many new service lines to The Jackson Clinic and exciting renovations through- out Jackson Hospital. These additions allow our teams to better serve our communities. We closed the decade with five Centers of Excellence, four Blue Cross Blue Shield Distinction Centers and the celebration of 20 years in pro- viding cardiovascular surgery. Our Jackson teams’ commit- ment to you is to continuously pursue quality and safety in all we do. As Jackson Hospital expands its healthcare capabilities, we also continue to grow our community outreach. Please be sure to review the 2019 Community Giving article in this issue of Partners , as well as the outstanding year of fund- raising by the Jackson Hospital Foundation. Also featured in this issue are the Foundation’s 2019 Partners in Health, whose gifts assist to strengthen our mission to improve the health of all members of our community. Thank you for choosing Jackson Hospital for your healthcare needs. I wish you and your family good health and prosperity throughout the New Year.
