HaysMed associates once again rose to the United Way challenge contributing $60,000 to support local agencies. A special event was held Wednesday morning at HaysMed, where Dr. John Jeter, HaysMed CEO, presented a check for $60,000 to Sherry Dryden, executive director of United Way of Ellis County.
“Our associates are dedicated to Ellis County. Every year, you can count on them to contribute generously to the community,” Jeter said.
HaysMed associates had a successful internal United Way campaign and participated in the following fundraising activities in addition to the traditional annual pledge drive: a Basket Extravaganza during Hospital Week and, during the month of October, Chocolate Frenzy and jean badges. This year, 141 associates were first-time donors to the pledge drive portion of the campaign.
