Advocacy Events and ActivitiesSt. Elizabeth Regional Health, its employees and physicians remain

steadfast in adhering to the tradition of our Franciscan values of respect for life, fidelity to our mission, compassionate concern, joyful service and Christian stewardship. As part of our mission, we work with a variety of community organizations and agencies to provide medical services and support to those in our community.

In 2008, the St. Elizabeth Regional Health teamed with other area health providers and businesses to raise funds for the YWCA’s Women’s Cancer Program through the Ultimate Pink Party. The event raised more than $18,000.

On Oct. 8 – 9, 2008, St. Elizabeth Regional Health hosted Camp Bluebird. The two-day, one-night retreat for adult cancer survivors is an informal educational experience in a relaxed nature-filled environment. The camp is open to patients who have had cancer in the past, who have been recently diagnosed or who have ongoing cancer issues.

On June 27, 2008, St. Elizabeth Regional Health fielded several teams for Tippecanoe County’s Relay for Life. St. Elizabeth Regional Health raised more than $2,000 for the event. Several St. Elizabeth employees volunteered to assist in registering participants for the CPS-3 study.
