HealthStream Research and its dedicated employees are passionate about improving the way healthcare is delivered in America.  That passion doesn’t just refer to hospitals and healthcare systems—any cause that supports the improvement of healthcare gets our attention. 

Kylie Eden, Account Executive for HealthStream Research, has been involved with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation for the last five years.  When she joined HealthStream Research earlier this year, she asked our Human Resources department if she could send out an email asking for donations for the October 2006 Race for the Cure.  Within seconds, Lisa Marrow (our Human Resources Manager) said, “Hey, Kylie—how about we form our own team?”  Once word got around about “Team HealthStream” and the Race for the Cure, our President stepped in and said he would match employee donations up to $2,000.  

We scheduled a “Management Car Wash” to raise donations, and it was a HUGE success!  A schedule was posted that showed exactly when each manager would be washing cars so that employees could pick their favorite manager.  No fee was set—employees were encouraged to make a donation. Of course, we had fun too.  The weather was fantastic—for most of the day.  The rain didn’t stop the managers, who actually kept on washing cars in the rain until thunder broke out around 6pm.  Only one employee who signed up for a car wash was missed.  Despite the rain and the electrifying end, the generosity of our employees brought more than $600 towards this wonderful cause through the car wash alone. 

HealthStream Research is thrilled to announce the initial outcomes towards our efforts to raise money for “Team HealthStream” and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation’s Race for the Cure.  Overall, we raised nearly $3,000!
