Avow Hosts Annual Giving Societies Luncheon

Avow welcomed more than 50 donors and dignitaries to its annual Giving Societies Luncheon on Tuesday February 13, 2024. The Giving Societies are comprised of three exclusive groups acknowledging individuals who have gone above and beyond in their philanthropic contributions to the growth and sustainability of Avow’s campus and programs. These groups include the 1983 Society, recognizing donors whose lifetime giving to Avow is $25,000 or greater, the Living Legacy Society, whose members have included Avow in their estate plan, and the Compassionate Care Society, honoring those who commit to giving $10,000 or more each year in support of Avow’s non-hospice palliative care program.

Luncheon attendees enjoyed conversation and companionship over a delicious lunch before Avow President and CEO Jaysen F. Roa took to the stage to give an overview of past accomplishments, current priorities, and future strategies for Avow. The keynote address included an overview of Avow’s care statistics from 2023, which included the largest number of hospice and palliative care patients seen in the organization’s history. Roa also went into detail regarding the use of new Artificial Intelligence (AI) and predictive technology tools to further enhance the patient and family experience of Avow’s services, including the implementation of these systems. When combined, these programs allow Avow staff to work more efficiently and effectively, providing the right care at the right time for patients and allowing real-time prognosis and instantaneous feedback from caregivers.

“2023 was a year of momentum for Avow. We have built a strong foundation with the help of our generous supporters, which allows us to plan for a wider array of care services while still providing the same exceptional standard of care our community has come to expect from us,” says Roa.
