MultiPlan Supports Hospitals, Lifts Spirits with Holiday Card Program
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 16, 2014 -- MultiPlan, Inc., the nation’s oldest and largest independent PPO network, today announced that voting is now open for its annual Holiday Card Program. Voting is open to the public on the MultiPlan website at: http://www.multiplan.com/providers/holidaycardprogram.cfm from September 15 through 26. Winners will be announced the week of October 6.
Through the Holiday Card Program, now in its 19th year, MultiPlan collects drawings from pediatric patients at hospitals participating in MultiPlan’s PPO networks and posts them on its website where the public can vote for their favorite drawings. (Participating networks include: PHCS, MultiPlan, Beech Street, HealthEOS, Texas True Choice, Arizona Medical Network (AMN), Rural Arizona Network (RAN), Health Management Network (HMN) and Integrated Health Plan (IHP).) The five entries that receive the most votes are made into holiday greeting cards, courtesy of MultiPlan. The hospitals that submit drawings receive boxed sets of the cards for use in fundraising and to sell in their gift shops. MultiPlan also provides the top five artists with posters of their artwork and their own holiday greeting cards.
“We look forward to this program every year. It’s fun to see the drawings from these young artists, who represent children from all over the U.S.,” says Dr. Anthony Sposato, Chief Medical Officer for MultiPlan. “Moreover, this program gives pediatric patients a creative diversion during their hospital stay and helps support the pediatric programs of our participating hospitals.”
In addition to the Holiday Card Program, MultiPlan provides participating hospitals with Jeep PowerWheels toy cars through its Toy Car Program, and awards annual grants to qualifying hospitals through its Rural Health Outreasch Grant Program.
