Springfield Hospital Launches Annual Giving Campaign Nov. 10th 
Posted on 11/5/2009

Springfield Hospital will launch its Annual Giving Campaign at 10 a.m. on November 10, 2009 under the portico at the hospital’s main entrance. The event will include area residents, trustees, and local dignitaries.

Rick Bibens, Springfield native, CEO of Biben’s Ace Hardware Stores, and chair of the Springfield Medical Care Systems Board of Directors will host this year’s effort.

Bibens has long been a strong supporter of the hospital and says this year’s effort is absolutely essential to the health and wellness of the region.  “Vermonters are losing their health insurance in record numbers and the hospital’s free care has climbed to more than two and a quarter million dollars in the last year alone.  Our community must come together to support our friends and neighbors in Vermont during these difficult times,” offered Bibens.
 
Glenn Cordner, CEO, reminds local residents that “Springfield Hospital is ranked at the top of Vermont hospitals in measures of quality. If we are to provide that high level of excellent care to everyone across the region who needs it then we are going to need the help of our loyal donors.”   ###
