Philanthropy Matters
Philanthropy Matters is a monthly column authored by Kristen Willis, Director of Development at Day Kimball Healthcare, and serves to keep the community of Northeastern Connecticut informed about how DKH is moving forward with the support of the community. It is a place to read up on experiences, thoughts, ideas, and perspectives on how DKH can best serve the health needs of our local community together. Additionally it is a place to consider how you might put your own philanthropic priorities into action.
