Bethesda Foundation Wish List

• Paramedics know that every minute counts when saving a life. Bethesda knows the importance of supplying Greater Cincinnati licensed paramedics who can administer advanced, split-second medical care. Since 1994, Bethesda donors have primarily funded the program, which is widely recognized as one of the most successful in the state. Almost 50 percent of Hamilton County's licensed paramedics are Bethesda-trained.
  
  
• On a daily basis, Foundation-funded behavioral health clinicians identify problems and issues so that children receive intervention when intervention is needed most. This extra help can mean the difference between success and failure in the classroom and, potentially, success in life.
  
  
• When the celebration of life becomes difficult, Hospice of Cincinnati steps in to provide dignified, condition-oriented care for the terminally ill and their families. Through symptom management as well as emotional and spiritual support, Hospice helps patients live full lives until they die. A variety of support opportunities exist:
  
  
  • Bereavement Services
  • Patient Distress Fund (for the uninsured and underinsured)
  • Endowment
  • Special Patient Services Fund (pastoral care and holistic comfort services)
    
    
• Students get the support they need to obtain a degree and gain meaningful work through the Bethesda Scholars Program, supported by Bethesda donors and offered in partnership with Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. Targeted toward unemployed or underemployed people, the program helps students ease the financial, social and personal barriers of continuing their education.
