It’s so reassuring to know the Bronson Health Foundation is there when you need it.

For 24 years, Cindy Adams has helped to keep Bronson Methodist Hospital’s patient care areas and offices clean and safe. “I love working at Bronson,” Cindy says.

Outside of work, Cindy cares for her husband who has stage four cancer and can’t work because of his illness. “He used to make great money,” Cindy says. “But with him going through chemotherapy, along with the house and car payments, it’s been tough to save money.”

Last winter, the furnace went out and couldn’t be repaired. “I was struggling to figure out a way to buy a new furnace. I knew in the back of my mind that Bronson has a fund that might be able to help. It was hard to ask for help, but I knew with my husband being sick, I couldn’t just tough it out.”

Cindy applied for assistance from the Employee in Crisis Fund, and received funding to pay for a new furnace. “I felt overwhelmed that they gave it to me. I’m so thankful for what they could do for me as an employee. It’s so reassuring to know the Bronson Health Foundation is there when you need it.”
