T.J. Samson | Foundation Newsletter | Fall 2021

The Mission CONNECTION AMessage from the Director Benjamin Franklin once said, “Change is the only constant in life.” As each of us reflect upon the past two years, I think we could all agree that “change” would have to be the primary description of our lives. While many of the changes we have experienced have not been what we would have hoped for, there has been an incredibly positive change that has also happened right here in southcentral Kentucky. In 2014, the T.J. Community Mission Foundation (TJCMF) was created with the purpose of supporting and enhancing the mission of T.J. Regional Health. This newsletter will become a primary way that we at the TJCMF share with you exactly how donor partners just like you are helping fulfill that mission. In doing so, we will continue to build healthier communities for our family, friends, and neighbors to call home. Whether through the construction of the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home, through the creation of our Car Seat Program for families in need, or through placing lifesaving equipment in the hands of local law enforcement agencies, the T.J. Community Mission Foundation is becoming a force for positive change in this region. Thank you for being a part of that change! Serving one another, Executive Director Fall 2021 Thank You, Rotary Club! The T.J. Community Mission Foundation was honored to receive a donation in support of the construction of the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home from the Glasgow-Barren County Rotary Club. The $7,000 donation was the result of the recent Golf Scramble hosted by the Rotary Club in support of Shanti Niketan. T.J. Community Mission Foundation Executive Director, Randy Burns said, “We are just overwhelmed by this gift and so thankful to Glasgow-Barren County Rotary Club for their partnership with us on this wonderful facility that will serve so many for years to come.
