St. Luke's employees and physicians continually open their hearts, supporting numerous community organizations. They participated in and raised thousands of dollars for causes as varied as the Komen Race for the Cure, AIDS Walk, American Heart Association (AHA) Heart Walk and St. Luke's employee crisis fund. At the corporate level, St. Luke's sponsored organizations and events such as Lydia's House, AMC Cancer Research, Family Resource Center and the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure.
For the first time, the WebMD Run to Breathe, a 5K run and 1-mile fun walk, was held at St. Luke's Hospital. Money was raised to combat teenage tobacco use. Other community partnerships included American Cancer Society Relay for Life and the AHA Red Dress Event, to name only a few.
St. Luke's residents see patients at People's Health Centers, federally funded health care facilities in St. Louis City and in North County. St. Luke's medical faculty supervise residents, who provide care to nearly 5,000 patients last year at the two locations. Professional fees generated through the arrangement are retained by People's Health Centers.
Meals on Wheels is another goverment-funded program that St. Luke's supports. Approximately 125 volunteers pack meals for 75 people Monday through Friday. The well-balanced meals provide nutrition for those with disabilities or individuals recovering from an accident or illness who are unable to cook for themselves. St. Luke's modifies meals according to dietary restrictions.
Together, St. Luke's and its employees strive to shape the evolution of medical care - one dollar, one step and one day at a time.
