Leadership Retreat Generates Gifts

12/10/2015

On December 11, 2015, some forty directors and managers of Lodi Health and Lodi Memorial Hospital Foundation completed a two-day leadership retreat.  At 11:15 hospital CEO, Daniel Wolcott formed six teams and each person on the team was given a new $100 bill.  The assignment was to go to lunch as a team and buy gifts for Christmas to be exchanged upon return.  As with most gift exchanges there was a variety of offerings, but what happened that day was truly special.

Several teams opted to give their funds to support others.  One team spent their time driving all over Lodi supporting causes and people that have fewer opportunities than most.  Here is a list of the donations made within one hour:
  • Toys for Lodi Adopt a Child
  • Groceries for a needy family waiting in line at the checkout
  • Salvation Army
  • Prescription for an elderly gentleman at the counter
  • Gas for a mom and her teenage son
  • Cash to a disabled gentleman
  • Pizza for a senior 
  • Movie tickets for a family
  • Toy for a discouraged boy in the store
Philanthropy can take many forms but the heart to give is universal.  It is so encouraging to know that the leaders of Lodi Health and Lodi Memorial Hospital Foundation are dedicated to everyone in our community and recognize community health is much more than just medicine. ​
