St. Vincent's Grateful Patient Program thanks the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 488, which made a $30,000 donation in support of St. Vincent’s Medical Center’s Swim Across the Sound in memory of Tony Soter, a former IBEW colleague. This generous gift will help to ensure that oncology patients and their families receive the support they need during one of the most challenging times of their lives. We are deeply grateful for their support and proud to have them as a community partner.

The Grateful Patient Program is a way to say “thank you” and recognize those who have provided you or your loved one with exceptional care and compassion. Contributions from grateful patients help to support future innovations and positively impact our ability to meet the healthcare needs of our region.
