MultiPlan Announces Holiday Card Program Winners
MultiPlan, Inc., the nation’s oldest and largest independent PPO network, announced the winners of its annual Holiday Card Program. As one of MultiPlan’s most popular initiatives, the Holiday Card Program collects holiday drawings from pediatric patients in participating MultiPlan hospitals and hosts a vote on its website. The five drawings that receive the most votes are made into holiday greeting cards, courtesy of MultiPlan. All hospitals that submitted drawings receive a supply of cards for use in fundraising, at holiday events and to sell in their gift shops.
Nearly 3000 people voted for the five winning entries. Winners represent patients from:
— Metro Health Medical Center, Cleveland, OH — Bethesda Genesis Health Center, Zanesville, OH — Palmer Lutheran Health Center, West Union, IA — York Hospital Community Health Center, York, PA
“This program is extremely rewarding,” says Kate Mathison, Senior Vice President of Network Development for MultiPlan. “It offers hospitalized children around the country an outlet to express their creativity, while continuing MultiPlan’s longstanding commitment to support the community relations objectives of our participating hospitals.”
In addition to the Holiday Card Program, MultiPlan provides participating hospitals with battery-operated cars through its Toy Car Program, and issues grants to qualifying hospitals through its Rural Health Outreach Grant Program.
