First Matching Gift Campaign – A Resounding Success!

 

 

During the spring of 2018 the Foundation initiated a Matching Gift Campaign thanks to the generosity of Dr. Jitendra Sisodia (Batch of 1951). Dr. Sisodia, Director of Emergency Services & Trauma at Kingston Hospital in NY for twenty years, pledged $40,000 towards a matching gift campaign designated for the Trauma Center being constructed at CMC’s new Kanningapuram Campus.  Dr. Sisodia was inspired by CMC’s Founder Dr. Ida S. Scudder throughout his life prompting this donation in memory of his late children Sanjeev and Aroti Sisodia to leave a lasting dedication to “First Responders”. Dr. Sisodia’s wish is to designate his donation for Trauma training, Equipment, and EMS Training to further Trauma Care in the region.

The Campaign raised a further $38,000 for the Trauma Center, exceeding expectations for this initiative! CMC is building a state-of-the-art Level 1 trauma center and 1500 bed hospital at its 88 acre campus in Kannigapuram. There are only two Level 1 trauma centers in all of India; both are located in the North. The State of Tamil Nadu — where CMC is located — has the highest rate of road traffic accidents, traumatic injuries and related deaths in all of India.

We thank Dr. Sisodia, who noted that after meeting Dr. Ida Scudder “The inspiration and motivation she ignited in me have been constant companions throughout my professional career” for his generous donation to the Trauma Center. It has inspired many of our donors to follow his lead and give generously to this Project.
