Donation More than Doubles Initial Commitment
through Contributions from Employees and Business Partners
Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC) presented a $350,000
donation to the El Paso Community Foundation to support victims and
families affected by the tragic events on Aug. 3. The gift was made
by the Tenet Healthcare Foundation and will go directly to the El
Paso Community Foundation’s Shooting Victims’ Fund, a 501(c)(3)
organization.
As previously announced, The Tenet Healthcare Foundation pledged
to contribute $100,000 to the El Paso Community Foundation and
provide an additional match for the first $50,000 in donations.
Through the generosity of employees and business partners, the
final contribution of $350,000 far exceeded that initial
commitment.
With 5,300 team members in El Paso, Tenet is the city’s
second-largest private employer. The company operates four acute
care hospitals under The Hospitals of Providence brand and more
than 50 outpatient centers, physician clinics and other care
facilities throughout the area.
On Monday, Aug. 12, Tenet Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Ron Rittenmeyer, along with colleagues from Tenet and The Hospitals
of Providence, participated in a ceremony in El Paso to honor the
community and those who lost their lives during the tragedy. At the
ceremony, which was held at The Hospitals of Providence East Campus
and attended by caregivers and first responders, Mr. Rittenmeyer
presented the donation to the El Paso Community Foundation.
“The El Paso Community is inspired by the outpouring of
compassion shown by Tenet and the Hospitals of Providence,” said
Eric Pearson, president of the El Paso Community Foundation. “This
is a bittersweet embrace of our community, coming together in the
wake of this tragedy.”
Mr. Rittenmeyer said, “We have provided care to the El Paso
Community for over 40 years. The response from our Tenet employees
around the country as well as our business partners to support
victims and their families in El Paso was immediate and
heartwarming. I am extremely proud of our Tenet Family for their
generosity and kindness to a community still suffering greatly from
a truly senseless act.”
