Meet Kimberly Cooley

From ER visits to the birth of their grandson, Kimberly and Don Cooley have experienced the care of Bon Secours St. Francis firsthand.

Meet the Saarloos Family

When twins Aiden and Gabriella arrived seven weeks early at just 31 weeks, they could not breathe on their own. Your gift supports the expertise, equipment and compassionate care of the NICU team at Bon Secours St. Francis that monitored every concern, celebrated every milestone and helped two tiny babies grow strong enough to go home.

Meet Paul Craven

For Paul and Leslie Craven, supporting the Bon Secours St. Francis Foundation is a year-round commitment with a festive kickoff. Each holiday season, the couple hosts their signature Martinis and Mistletoe Party and supports the Festival of Trees. Throughout the year, they give to programs like mobile mammography and Project SEARCH, programs they see making a real difference in Greenville's underserved communities. For Paul, the pride of giving back is personal and visible every time he spots the big pink mammography bus out in the community.

Julie’s Story

Health care providers give so much of themselves to their patients, but who looks after them? Thanks to donor support, the Dr. H. Earle Russell Physician and Associate Wellness Fund is bringing mental health resources, wellness events, and peer support programs to Bon Secours St. Francis physicians and employees. Medical Director of Wellbeing Dr. Julie Dangler is leading the charge, building initiatives one step at a time with the goal of ensuring that when associates thrive, patients do too.

Samuel’s Story

After suffering a stroke and facing recovery without insurance, Samuel Bryant didn't know how he'd manage the medications he needed. Your support made it possible. The Meds to Beds program at Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, supported by the Gallivan Family Medications of Hope, delivered his prescriptions directly to him before discharge and provided affordable access to the rest. Today, Samuel is back to work and on track with his treatment plan, grateful for the donors who stepped up when he had nothing to fall back on.
