Corporator Updates
Emerson Hospital corporators play an important role in connecting residents of our community to the hospital. Their activities range from supporting grassroots promotion of hospital services to serving as a ready source of volunteers to fit the hospital’s many needs, from governance to resource development. Below are recent corporator updates.
Greetings from Chris Schuster, President and CEO
It is nice to think back to the beginning of the summer when I saw so many of you at Emerson Hospital Auxiliary’s 5k Run~Walk for Cancer and Family Fun day in June. Not only was it a perfect summer day, but we raised the largest amount of funds in the history of the Run~Walk, which benefits the Bethke Cancer Center.
The event’s success was due to overwhelming community involvement from hospital employees, volunteers, corporators, board members, auxiliary members, Thoreau Club members and community residents. There were so many familiar faces at the popular event.
I have enjoyed spending time with our new Emerson corporators at this summer’s “corporator coffees and conversation with the CEO/president.” I was able to meet most of the new corporators over coffee and muffins. This was a great opportunity for me to get to know each of you on a more personal basis and to remind you to contact me to share what you are hearing about Emerson in your community – good or bad.
We have a few important events coming in the next several months. First, I look forward to seeing many of you at the Verrill Farm Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 15, from 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm. The event benefits pediatric care at Emerson.
Also, I look forward to celebrating with many of you Emerson Hospital’s 100th-year anniversary at the Centennial Ball: A Big Party to Benefit Little Patients. It will be held on Saturday, November 12, at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel. I am pleased to say that advance table sales to our individual and corporate sponsors has ensured that the event is sold out. We couldn’t have done it without the generous support of the community. Thank you to all who are supporting this wonderful fundraising event!
