The Cancer Survivors’ Picnic is an annual event that honors community members for their fight against cancer. At the event, cancer survivors and their families are treated to a picnic luncheon on Licking Memorial Hospital’s front lawn. The goal of the picnic is to recognize cancer survivors for facing their disease with courage, determination and a positive attitude, as well as friends and family who supported them during the battle.
Community Leaders’ Roundtable luncheons are sponsored by the Community Relations Committee of the Licking Memorial Development Council. The luncheons are organized to provide for open communication between our community and LMHS Administration. LMHS President & CEO Rob Montagnese provides an update on Licking Memorial Health Systems and local and national healthcare issues. In addition, attendees have the opportunity to raise concerns or ask questions specific to LMH or about the healthcare industry in general. Invitation lists for the luncheons are generated by the members of the Development Council, and sessions are by invitation only.
The Licking Memorial Hospital Development Council’s Education and Membership Committee sponsors Corporate Breakfasts four times a year for area business representatives and community leaders. Past presentations have included the latest medical techniques, stress management, nutrition and updates on the healthcare industry.
The Annual Support Committee of the LMH Development Council hosts a Donor Appreciation Reception each fall.
