Raising Hope at Work 2018

What is Raising Hope at Work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36tqKQYUSWE Raising Hope at Work engages UF Health Shands and UF College of Medicine employees in a culture of philanthropy across the organization through an annual employee giving campaign supporting UF Health initiatives. This is our opportunity to show the community that we believe in what we do. It demonstrates our commitment to a mission of excellence in education, patient care, and research that positively affects the lives of those we serve.

Culture of Philanthropy? Why Build a Culture of Philanthropy? Every gift our employees contribute through Raising Hope at Work counts toward our greater goal of improving health care. By giving back we are touching thousands of lives and enhancing the extraordinary work being done here at UF Health.
