The Brookings Health System Foundation is pleased to announce the MyThanks Matters grateful patient program.  This program gives Brookings Health System patients an opportunity to honor a BHS employee for exceptional service or care they received during their stay.

“Our staff help bring comfort to patients and their loved ones during difficult times. MyThanks Matters provides opportunities for patients to express their gratitude for the care they or a family member received at Brookings Health System. It is a way to honor their caregiver while supporting the future of healthcare within our community,” said Sara Schneider, foundation director.

MyThanks Matters allows patients to give back to Brookings Health System by whichever means best suits them.

Share Your Contribution with a financial gift made to Brookings Health System Foundation that helps support ongoing programs within and throughout the health system. Your contribution may also honor a caregiver who made a difference in your stay, including a doctor, nurse, housekeeper, dietary aide or any team member.

Share Your Time by volunteering at Brookings Health System to help enhance the experience of patients, residents and visitors at our facilities.

Share Your Story by telling others about the exceptional care experience at Brookings Health System which helps bring more patients to our doors.
