Jackson Hospital | Partners | SUMMER 2015

DEAR FRIENDS AND
COMMUNITY MEMBERS:
In the last issue of Partners , we were
preparing you and your family for
summer—things to do and how to stay
healthy. And in the blink of an eye,
we’re approaching the end of summer
and the children are getting ready to go
back to school.
As parents know, back to school
means class schedules, school supplies
and sometimes routine vaccines. In this
issue, we give you a guide to which vac-
cines your children need and what they
protect against. We’ve also included
the recommended vaccine schedule for
adults for good measure.
The first phase of our women’s
center renovations have been com-
pleted, and the second and final phase
is underway. This project was largely
funded by our foundation, which relies
on support from community members
and businesses. Their next big
fundraiser—the 10th annual Swinging
Fore Healthcare golf tournament—is
happening this month. Over the past
nine years, the tournament has raised
more than $860,000 to improve
services at Jackson Hospital. We ap-
preciate everyone who is planning to
participate in this fun and worthwhile
event.
I wish you and your family good
health and appreciate you choosing
Jackson Hospital.
Joe B. Riley
President and CEO
