More Than $68,000 Raised in the 2026 Employee Circle of Giving Campaign by Parrish Healthcare Staff Members, Providers and Volunteers

TITUSVILLE, FLA. (July 24, 2026)—More than $68,000 raised in the 2026 Employee Circle of Giving Campaign by Parrish Healthcare staff members, providers and volunteers, will be used for projects to improve the quality of life for north Brevard residents, Parrish Healthcare and Jess Parrish Medical Foundation (JPMF) officials say.

By raising $68,000 the Parrish team, called Care Partners, surpassed its own fundraising goal by $8,000. In the employee giving campaign’s 20-year existence, Care Partners have pledged more than $1.5 million to build or support community projects.

This year's two-week campaign, Turning Back Time for a Healthier Tomorrow, kicked off on June 5 and concluded on June 19, said Melissa Lugo, JPMF board chair.

“Money raised in this year’s campaign, as is the case each year, will be used to help people in our area by furthering Parrish Healthcare’s vision, ‘Healing Families, Healing Communities,’” Lugo said. “Every day, Care Partners do invaluable health care work that serves all of us, and their generosity through the giving program is yet another benefit to the individuals and families of our area.”

Among the uses over the years to which Parrish Employee Circle of Giving contributions have been put:

• Digital Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Technology: Advancing early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer.
• Stop the Bleed Tourniquet Kits and Training: Donated to the Titusville Police Department (TPD), these kits equip officers with lifesaving resources and emergency response training. The kits have helped TPD officers save 23 lives since 2015.
• Healing in Motion Vans: Helping patients who need transportation for medical care.
• The Children's Center Playground Renovation and Expansion: Creating a safe outdoor environment that supports healthy childhood development for children of all abilities.

Employee Giving Campaign co-chairs were Kristina Crabtree, Parrish Healthcare Director of People Development, and Samantha Decker, Director of Communications and Community Relations.

“Our deepest thanks, on behalf of everyone who’ll be helped by Care Partners’ financial gifts, go to all who gave, our campaign co-chairs, and the planning committee,” Lugo said.
