Mary Carpenter, director of Obion County Library, points to the hospital’s leaf on the library’s tree of sponsors.

“The staff, parents and children from the Head Start centers in Kenton, Troy and Tiptonville express their gratitude to all of the colleagues at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Union City for the Christmas gifts that were given to the children in these programs...I appreciate the kindness Baptist Hospital shows to Head Start children and families.”

– Jonathan Vinson, Lake County & Obion County Head Start Center Coordinator

“I would like to thank you on behalf of Obion County Central High School for sponsoring a delegate to Volunteer Girls State. With expense budgets stretched thinly for many businesses, it can often be difficult for us to find sponsors for such activities...Again, thanks for your support!”

– Kay Cooper, Lake County & Guidance Counselor, Obion County Central High School

"We deeply appreciate your consideration and generous contribution to our Fire Safety Program. Your support allows our firefighters to continue providing our youngsters with Firepup fire prevention materials again this year..."

Baptist Union City colleagues have demonstrated their commitment by volunteering and supporting several organizations and events in 2004, including the American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association, American Red Cross, Chimes for Charity, Dyer County Chamber of Commerce, Head Start, Lifeline Blood Services, Main Street Union City Inc., March of Dimes, National Fire Safety Council, Obion County Cancer Agency, Obion County Public Library, Obion County School System, Obion County Youth Leadership, South Fulton School System, Union City School System, Obion County Chamber of Commerce, Obion County Fall Fest Inc. and Obion County Industrial Development Corp.

Baptist Union City also has strong affiliations with various educational institutions in communities across our region, supporting their nursing and allied health degree programs in various ways.

In 2004, Baptist Union City was a corporate sponsor for the Fourth Annual Hometown Walk of Hope, contributing more than $8,500 to the event that benefits the Obion County Cancer Agency, an organization that assists cancer patients with financial needs. In addition, the hospital donated more than $5,000 to the Obion County Industrial Development Corp., which promotes retention and expansion of industries. The hospital also provided $500 to the new Obion County Public Library and $2,000 to co-sponsor the Airport Extravaganza as part of the Fall Fest activities.

Baptist Union City colleagues collected gifts for more than 100 children who participate in local Head Start programs, as well as donating toys to Chimes for Charity.
