At South Georgia Medical Center's Pearlman Cancer Center a picture is worth a thousand words. Last week the center unveiled a new photo kiosk donated by funds raised through employee giving. Cancer Center patients can use the kiosk to document their recovery milestones.

The need for a milestone celebration was identified by PCC nurses Michaela King, RN and Sue Roach, RN. Other cancer centers around the country use the ringing of a bell to celebrate, but King envisioned a way for our patients to take it to another level. They took their passion to enhance patient care and spearheaded a fundraiser, then connected with the SGMC Foundation’s employee giving campaign. “We wanted our patients to have a happy memory of their experience at Pearlman,” said King.

Elizabeth Vickers, SGMC Foundation Executive Director, commended the dedication of SGMC's employees to philanthropic efforts making a difference in our patients' experience. “Employee giving is a vital resource and rewarding avenue that allows employees to give back to the patients and community they serve,” said Vickers.
