Hospital Support Program

Chairperson: Emily Campbell

The Notre Dame Club of Phoenix participates in the Notre Dame Hospital Support Program.  A national initiative of the Notre Dame Senior Alumni, this program is intended to assist members of the Notre Dame Family when hospitalized while away from home, whether planned in advance or the result of a accident or illness while traveling.

The Alumni Association has established a toll-free number for members of the Notre Dame family who are hospitalized and out of their home area.  The Program then contacts the Club to arrange for local support.  Support may include spending time with the patient and family, running simple errands, arranging for a visit by a priest, or introducing family members to places of local interest.

Because of the geographic size of the area, the Club is seeking to establish a wide group of individuals who would be willing to assist should the need arise.  As previously mentioned, support services are limited to simple tasks and can be spread out between volunteers, as not to overburden any one volunteer or group of volunteers.

If you would like to be involved, please contact our Chairperson, Emily Campbell at hospital@ndclubofphoenix.com or (480) 248-7117.  You can also download the NDSA's program guide in PDF format.

Hands & Hope for Haiti
This fall, ND alumni and current students will join together to collect 25,000 pounds of clothing for the people of Haiti. The Hands & Hope for Haiti clothing drive will take place on campus from Oct. 4 until the ND-Pittsburgh football game (Nov. 1).

There will be a friendly competition between alumni and current students to see which group can collect the most clothing. The type of clothing that is needed is good quality spring and summer clothing, as well as very gently used footwear. (Please note: winter clothing, as well as clothing in extra large sizes, will not be usable to the people of Haiti, therefore we ask that these be excluded from your contributions.)

Please help the people of Haiti by bringing clothing to the game watches in order to be donated. We hope to join together with other alumni in order to collect more clothing than the students, but more importantly, we would like to be able to provide support and resources to those in need. Thanks for your help!
