MultiPlan Congratulates Holiday Card Winners
MultiPlan, Inc., the nation’s oldest and largest independent PPO network, announced the winners of its annual Holiday Card Program:
— Edinburg Children’s Hospital, Edinburg, Texas — Metro Health Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio — Winchester Hospital, Winchester, Massachusetts
As one of MultiPlan’s most popular initiatives, the Holiday Card Program invites pediatric patients in participating MultiPlan and PHCS network hospitals to enter their drawings for a public vote on the MultiPlan website. The five drawings that receive the most votes are featured on holiday greeting cards, produced 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 4,800 people participated in this year’s voting. The top five drawings are featured on MultiPlan’s website at: http://www.multiplan.com/providers/holidaycardprogram.cfm.
“This program is extremely rewarding,” says Paul Goldstein, Chief Medical Officer for MultiPlan. “It offers hospitalized children around the country an outlet to express their creativity, while continuing MultiPlan’s longstanding support of the community relations objectives of our participating hospitals.”
In addition to the Holiday Card Program, MultiPlan provides participating hospitals with Jeep PowerWheels(TM) toy cars through its Toy Car Program, and awards annual grants to qualifying hospitals through its Rural Health Outreach Grant Program.
