Flexibility Means Generosity
Bon Secours encourages employees to care for themselves --- and for each other. One way is through donating Paid Time Off to a colleague in need. Consider this story from one grateful employee:
"I recently was out of work for several months following a bicycling accident. Though I am married and my spouse is employed, we had a really hard time with our finances after my PTO --- less than 30 hours' worth --- was gone."
"I have the good fortune of working with a nurse who saves her PTO as much as she can and uses it to donate to co-workers in need. She donated 30 hours to me, and I will be ever grateful to her for this generosity. She shared with me that she was once out for a time with no PTO and learned how difficult it can be. Now, when she takes vacation, she bunches her work days together, then takes time off and then groups days together again. That way, she can use a minimal amount of PTO in order to bank a lot of time, which she routinely donates."

Bon Secours Responds
to Haiti Disaster
 On Oct. 4, Hurricane Matthew struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti. Although a complete tally of the damage is still unknown, estimates indicate that between 20,000 to 30,000 homes have been destroyed, more than 800 people have died and more than 350,000 people need assistance. Click here for a prayer for the victims of the hurricane from the Catholic Health Association. In response, Bon Secours is contributing $60,000 to CMMB, a Catholic international relief agency, and $20,000 to Water Mission, to provide water solutions to vulnerable communities in Haiti. Bon Secours will also match employee contributions to the Mission Fund up to $10,000 to support Water Mission's efforts in Haiti.
To contribute, please make out a check to Bon Secours Mission Fund and note on the bottom of the check "Haiti Relief." You can mail the check to: Bon Secours Mission Fund, c/o Ed Gerardo, 1505 Marriottsville Road, Marriottsville, Md. 21104.
