Employee Crisis Fund
The Employee Crisis Fund provides funds to employees of Memorial Hospital facing a sudden and urgent situation. Assistance from the fund results in a significant turning point or resolves the crisis. If you are a Memorial employee and would like to apply, please see below. The fund is supported by Memorial employees who give to the fund through our employee giving program, SHINE. If you would like to give to the fund please click here or call Harrison Kajdan at 865-3048.
Eligibility
In order to apply for assistance, you must meet the criteria:
• Employee must have been employed by Memorial full time or PT +20 for at least 90 days, and
• Employee must have successfully completed probationary period, and have no disciplinary actions within the last 12 months or currently under investigation within any major area of concern, and have not submitted resignation or retirement, and
• Situation must be a naturally occurring emergency or catastrophe (fire, flood, tornado, etc) or unavoidable personal emergency (critical illness, unexpected financial loss such as burglary, etc).
The crisis should NOT be a chronic situation of a long duration or a frequent occurrence.
