Your gift helps take care of the people who take care of others.

Through IGiVE, you can help team members, patients and students when unexpected hardships arise, providing practical support when it matters most.

Meet Kristin

“There were days I wouldn’t have been able to buy groceries.”

Kristin Niemeier spends her days caring for patients at The Christ Hospital Health Network while facing an extraordinary health journey of her own.

Diagnosed with Stage IV thymic carcinoma in 2021, Kristin has undergone multiple heart surgeries, chemotherapy and a clinical trial. Through it all, she has continued working because caring for patients gives her purpose and a sense of normalcy.

Years of treatment also created significant financial strain. When everyday expenses became overwhelming, support made possible by fellow team members helped Kristin and her husband afford groceries and other basic needs.

“Any little bit helps. It goes a long way.”
