The Foundation for Morristown Medical Center Mini Grant Program supports projects up to $20,000 that are not funded through the hospital’s annual budget but enhance patient care. A total of $40,000 is awarded quarterly ($160,000 annually) to fund a variety of projects that facilitate innovation for clinical, nursing and care teams. Awardees have utilized Mini Grant funds for a wide range of patient-centered initiatives, which include music therapy to enhance patient recovery, equipment needs such as vein scanners and mobility programs for critically ill pediatric patients. Mini Grant funds and the teams that carry out these projects make a lasting impact on Morristown Medical Center and Goryeb Children’s Hospital patients and their families.
