πEmployee Donor Spotlight: Reverend Roy Johnson, Manager of Chaplain Services for Harnett Healthcareπ
How long have you been with the health system? 22 yearsβ¦and many of those years, and currently, serving on the Harnett Health Foundation Board of Directors.
Why did you become an employee donor? In 2005, Betsy Johnson Hospital Foundation was founded and I was Staff Chaplain and one of the Charter Members of the Foundation. Through the Samaritan
Funds, donations were raised to help patients in need with transportation costs and other emergency needs requested by nursing staff. Thankfully, this Ministry has grown, and still active.
What inspires you to give? For the Cancer Center and Adolescence Center. I feel the Lord inspired me to give to these causes. The reason for these two, as Staff Chaplain, started at Wake Med in 2001 - until 2004, and started at Betsy Johnson on Feb. 4, 2004. I cherished the honor God has given me to serve as Hospital Chaplain (from 2001 to the present!). It was part of my job to be there in many instances to see and witness the care, compassion, professional skill and sacrifices our staff makes for the care of our patients. They have one goal, in my opinion, to give medical treatment to all and to save lives. For this reason, and Lord willing, I desire this cause to be part of my legacy.
Thank you, Reverend Roy, for being an employee donor and for your hard work and dedication to support our patients and programs! ππ
