Outreach Opportunities: How Elkhart General Healthcare System Gives Back

At Elkhart General Healthcare System, our commitment to improving the lives of our patients and easing the minds of their families goes far beyond our walls.  Every year, our employees spend countless hours helping to make this amazing community an even better place to live.

Taking Care

Elkhart General Healthcare System has adopted Mary Daly Elementary as part of the CARES program, which allows EGH and other community partners to help students reach their full potential. Employees volunteer one hour per week to mentor a student one-on-one, an opportunity many EGH members describe as one of the most rewarding they’ve experienced. Activities are planned by the teacher, so you don’t have to be a homework guru to volunteer. Anyone who wants to help kids succeed is welcome.

United Way

EGH is a generous contributor to the United Way and its mission to serve community interests nationwide. In addition, many employees donate their time and energy to assist this non-profit organization.

Fighting Childhood Obesity

EGH recently joined a countywide initiative to reduce the alarming growth in childhood obesity and enhance the health of young people in the community. EGH plays a leading role in this initiative by directing efforts to improve school food, levels of physical activity, and parental involvement.
