Few would question that frontline nurse managers are critical to the success of any organization.  They are the key interface with patients, nursing staff, medical staff, other clinical and ancillary staff, and administration. This makes the role one of the most difficult and one of the most important in any healthcare setting.

 

The Hearts and Smiles Foundation's mission is to provide assistance to low-income families with special-needs children in Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Philadelphia counties, with a particular focus on the needs of siblings in those families. As a 501c3 nonprofit corporation, The Foundation is reliant upon the generosity of others to help fulfill their mission.

This past holiday season, Kirby Bates Associates provided toys, clothing, and gift cards to 5 families, with 19 children, through the Hearts and Smiles Foundation. The experience was wonderful for the entire Kirby Bates team, as we all assisted in the shopping, wrapping, and funding the project.
