This year on Tuesday, November 27, Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation
is participating in #GivingTuesday, a day dedicated to giving.
What is #GivingTuesday?
#GivingTuesday is a social media movement that aims to transform how people
participate in the giving season. Since its founding in 2012, #GivingTuesday
has inspired giving around the world, resulting in greater donations,
volunteer hours, and activities that bring about real change in communities.
#GivingTuesday is a call to action to make a difference in the world around you.
Last year, more than 45,000 organizations in 71 countries came together
to celebrate #GivingTuesday. Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation is inviting
you to join the movement.
What does Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation do?
Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation was established in 2010 as the major

healthcare. The work of the foundation supports the services of all aspects
of the Mile Bluff organization, maximizing its impact on the health of
the community.
The foundation strives to build and cultivate community partnerships that
ensure lifelong commitments to healthcare advancement, personal well-being
