Cornerstone VNA Announces 110 Giving Challenge

Cornerstone VNA Announces 110 Giving Challenge

 

Rochester, NH:  2023 marks 110 years for Cornerstone VNA, a local nonprofit home health and hospice organization, and to celebrate this important milestone, they are embarking on a special giving challenge. Through their 110 Giving Challenge, their goal is to get 110 donations in the last 110 days of 2023.

 

All donations received through this challenge will support uninsured patients, as well as programs with the greatest need. This includes critical programs that receive little to no insurance reimbursement, such as Palliative Care, which provides care for patients with chronic illnesses, and remote monitoring and support for high-risk patients through their Telehealth program.

 

According to Erika Lee, Advancement Director at Cornerstone VNA, “Throughout our milestone anniversary year, we have been recognizing our healthcare heroes through history and celebrating our continued efforts to go above and beyond for those we serve.” Lee adds, “This special Giving Challenge is an exciting way to honor our 110th year and will help keep us moving forward in providing the very best care to our patients of all ages.”

 

As an added bonus, FedPoint, administrator of large-scale insurance and benefit programs, has partnered with Cornerstone VNA to provide $11,000 in matching funds. This means that all donations will be matched, effectively doubling gifts made through the challenge.

 

Julie Reynolds, President/CEO of Cornerstone VNA shares, “We have developed a wonderful partnership with FedPoint, and we are thrilled to have their generous matching support to double donations made to Cornerstone VNA.” Reynolds continues, “With the kind support of FedPoint and our donors, I know we can reach our goal of 110 donors in 110 days and raise $22,000 and beyond!”

New Certified Therapy Dog at Cornerstone VNA

New Certified Therapy Dog at Cornerstone VNA

 

Rochester, NH – Maureen E. Steer MDiv, Holistic Disciplines Manager at Cornerstone VNA, is proud to share that her beloved Australian Shepherd, Lucy, has recently achieved certification as a therapy dog. Lucy’s training was comprehensive, and she graduated with great reports. Starting as a puppy, she trained for over a year and became certified as a K-9 Good Citizen by Inspire K-9 in Barnstead. She was officially certified as a therapy dog by Love on a Leash, a national program. According to Love on a Leash, “A therapy pet is trained and certified with its owner as a team to provide comfort and stress relief to others in a variety of situations.”

Lucy will now be lending her compassionate presence and unwavering support to Hospice patients. Moreover, she will play a special role in bereavement sessions and group grief support meetings, offering comfort and solace to those in need. The addition of Lucy to the Cornerstone VNA team will undoubtedly enhance their ability to provide holistic care and bring moments of joy and healing to those they serve.

Lucy has spent the last year working on a variety of competencies and situations in the community and in the Cornerstone VNA office, where she was surrounded by a supportive and caring team. Whenever Lucy arrives at the office, team members can be heard exclaiming, “Oh good, I needed a Lucy day today.”

 

Cornerstone VNA is proud of the response they’ve received from this wonderful Therapy Dog Volunteer duo of Maureen and Lucy. Katherine Michaud MS, OTR/L, Cornerstone VNA Behavioral Health Coordinator explains, “Pet therapy dogs provide comfort, encourage communication, decrease stress, and reduce loneliness. A visit from a dog can really brighten someone’s day.” The pet companion volunteer opportunity is a wonderful way for volunteers and their dogs to provide support and friendship to patients and community members. For more information about the pet companion volunteer team, contact Ann Vennard at 603-994-6941 or AVennard@cornerstonevna.org.
