YES Campaign needs you April 25, 2003 Dear Colleague: At this time of year we ask you to join your co-workers in supporting the 2003 Yearly Employee Support (YES) Campaign. We strongly encourage you to consider supporting this important effort, which is so critical to meeting our goals in education, research and patient care. If you are not familiar with the program, the YES campaign is an internal fund-raising drive in which employees make a gift to the MUSC Health Sciences Foundation fund(s) of their choice. Some choose to support medical research, while others contribute to scholarships, outreach programs or even the work taking place in their own departments. There are more than 350 funds to choose from, so you should be able to find a program that has special meaning to you. As part of the Medical University of South Carolina family, we all play a unique and vital role in raising the standard of health care in this state. The YES Campaign provides us with a way to go beyond what we do as part of our daily efforts to improve the quality of life for countless people in South Carolina and elsewhere. Especially at this time of economic challenge, our commitment to this mission—and to the YES Campaign—is more important than ever.  We hope you will take this opportunity to help the Medical University reach even greater heights of achievement.  Your support of the 2003 YES Campaign will make a difference in more lives and more ways than you can imagine. With warmest regards, Raymond S. Greenberg, MD, PhD  President  Medical University of South Carolina  W.
