Nationwide Title Clearing, Inc. CEO John Hillman and co-owner Ed Marsh recently donated $25,000 to the St. Joseph’s Hospitals Foundation Caregiver and Healthcare Worker Fund.
Hillman and Marsh also partnered with BeautyByEarth’s founder and President Prudence Millsap in donating 8,000 surgical masks.
“It’s times like these that give all of us the opportunity to give back and to support our communities when they need us most,” Hillman. “While the companies we serve are spread out across the country, the local community has given us a home and staff to do our work and achieve success.”
“It is the people and institutions of the Tampa Bay region that have enabled our success and when they have a pressing need, we will come to their aid,” Hillman said. “It’s what neighbors do for one another and I’m proud that our company was in a position to help.”
The Caregiver and Healthcare Worker Support Fund has been established as St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation’s most vital resource to combat the coronavirus and to save lives across Tampa Bay. It is an emergency fund to which team members may apply for financial help of up to $1,000 in the event of a crisis.
“The foundation has identified our biggest priority as our people on the frontlines and the most critical need is to provide them with the support necessary to help the rest of us get through what might be a marathon with miles yet to go,” said Deborah A. Kotch, president of St. Joseph’s Hospitals Foundation.
