We know that you, as MUSC employees, give so much of your time and talents to change what’s possible for this state and beyond. Make a gift today on MUSC Day to the Employee Initiatives Fund, formerly known as the YES Family Fund, and see firsthand how these contributions make a difference in 2024 and beyond. This fund will help with departmental needs as they relate to education, patient care and research. Below is a sampling of projects and initiatives that have been funded in the past.
Project: Home blood pressure monitoring
Department: Neuroscience, Stroke Clinic | Awarded: $2,500
The MUSC Stroke Clinic, part of the MUSC Comprehensive Stroke Program, is dedicated to improving stroke recovery, rehabilitation, and stroke prevention for patients and families. Stroke is a leading cause of death in the state. Gifting patients with home blood pressure monitors demonstrates MUSC’s commitment to supporting self-care and risk prevention in those we treat.
Project: Tablets for diabetes technology
Department: Mt. Pleasant After Hours Care and Specialty | Awarded: $1,177.98
Patients of the Mt. Pleasant Pediatric Endocrinology clinic rely upon their diabetes technology to manage their disease. Investing in Microsoft Surface tablets and related accessories will provide fast downloads of information from insulin pumps and glucometers. This process would eliminate untethering of pumps, promote increased safety by reducing the risk of accidental exposures of needle sticks and mislabeling of devices, and promote comprehensive care.
Project: Pediatric Family Meal Coupons
Department: Patient and Family Centered Care | Awarded: $2,500
Often, family members of patients at MUSC Children’s Hospital do not have a means to purchase meals for themselves during their child’s hospitalization. Gifts to this program allow us to purchase and distribute food coupons for families of children in units located throughout the hospital.
