Approved Programs

NIP Tax Credits Awarded for the "Caring for Generations" Campaign:
The Foundation for The Thomas Memorial and Saint Francis Hospitals has been awarded WV NIP tax credits to give to individuals and businesses who donate to The Foundation. The following programs are supported through the "Caring for Generations" Campaign:

• The Drive-Thru Flu Shot Program provides 500 free flu shots to low-income elderly or at-risk residents who cannot afford a
  flu shot to help prevent them from getting the flu or more serious illnesses.

• The GAP Fund provides funding to assist low-income patients discharged from Thomas Memorial and Saint Francis Hospital
  and cannot afford prescription medications or other medical items prescribed by their physicians that will allow them to continue their recovery at home.  Without this financial assistance, these patients may have to be readmitted to the hospital or suffer an even worse fate.

• The Baby Bed Project provides a safe baby bed to newborns who are born at Thomas Memorial Hospital when it is determined that their parents cannot afford to purchase a baby bed.

• The Infant Car Seat Program provides babies born at Thomas Memorial Hospital who come from low-income families with a
  safety-rated infant car seat to ensure that they have a safe start in life.
