Celebrating Employee Giving Month

Celebrating September: Employee Giving Month

This September, employees across our Adirondack Health system came together in an incredible way to support one another and our patients. Throughout Employee Giving Month, colleagues gave generously, proving once again that when we join forces, we can make a lasting difference.

With the leadership of our Employee Giving Committee, chaired by Natalie Miller, RN, and Connie Lawrence, RN, 96 employees made gifts during the month of September raising an amazing $24,045 in support of patient care and community health. We welcomed 20 first-time donors, while 38 chose to increase their existing giving. The most supported funds were the Annual Fund, the Oncology Travel Fund, and the Medical Fitness Center Fund.

In total, 257 employees have supported the Foundation in 2025, a remarkable reflection of commitment and care within our team.

To celebrate our employees and all they do, the Foundation was proud to host a “Make Your Own Sundae” bar with ice cream donated by Stewart’s Shops. And for the entire month, a candy cart roamed the halls, spreading extra sweetness and gratitude to employees throughout the system.

This success is about more than numbers, it’s about the power of coming together as colleagues, neighbors, and friends. This support reflects our shared commitment to care for each other and for every patient who walks through our doors. Together, our community of donors is creating a meaningful impact that touches lives every day.
