Corporate Champions Make a Difference

The St. Joseph’s Health Corporate Champions program is a partnership between the St. Joseph’s health system and leading business in our community. More than 50 New Jersey business executives joined U.S. Congressman Bill Pascrell and Kevin J. Slavin, President & CEO, St. Joseph’s Health, for the first Corporate Champions Breakfast recently, coming together in support of the health system.

Featured speaker at the event was Kaitlin Kurdyla, mother of St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital patient and young cancer survivor Delaney Kurdyla, who shared her daughter’s story of survival and courage. After being diagnosed with cancer as an infant and beating the odds, St. Joseph’s stepped in and supported Delaney and her family as they battled her illness.

“I stand here today to say that an investment in St. Joseph’s will touch the lives of so many families in need. It is an investment in hope and it is an investment you can be proud of,” said Kaitlin Kurdyla.

Becoming a Corporate Champion is an investment that will distinguish your company as a force of good, committed to the health and wellness of your neighbors. To learn more about the St. Joseph’s Health Corporate Champions program, click here (link to: Corporate Champions page)
