Truman Medical Center's tradition of giving sets us apart from other business and distinguishes us as a hospital that cares.

Each year, employees are given the opportunity to give back to the hospital through the Proud to be Truman Campaign.

Proud to be Truman is an employee-sponsored program organized by a committee of TMC employee volunteers to raise money annually for projects that directly benefit TMC patient care.  Each year, projects are selected for Hospital Hill, Lakewood, and Behavioral Health.  Projects typically include enhancements to the hospital that improve the delivery of patient care or patient satisfaction and create a pleasing experience for the patients of TMC. 

Since 2003, employees have contributed more than $200,000 to Truman Medical Centers through the campaign.

Employee contributions have provided landscaping and shrubbery around the walking trail and a meditation garden for employees and visitors at our Lakewood Campus; a transportation van and purchase of a bariatric wheelchair and an indoor scooter to enable patients an easier mode of transportation around the hospital at Hospital Hill; and well as patio beautifications at our Behavioral Health location.
