Stewards of the CHRISTUS Difference These CHRISTUS Foundation Shreveport-Bossier team members make a difference for our Foundation, our hospital and our community. MARGO CLENDENIN, CHILDREN'S MIRACLE NETWORK (CMN) HOSPITALS PROGRAM DIRECTOR Margo joined the Foundation team in August 2016, bringing with her a wealth of experience in philanthropic work and fundraising. "At CHRISTUS, our CMN Hospital programs are life-changing for the children they serve, and I am honored each day I get to work to support these kids and their families," Margo says, "It is hard to imagine giving the gift of childhood, but that's exactly what our donors do for these children when they give to these amazing programs." JANIE HUDSON, CHRISTUS FOUNDATION SHREVEPORT- BOSSIER DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST Janie has been working in a hospital setting for more than 25 years. Nearly 10 of those have been spent serving as a development specialist with the Foundation, supporting the programs and team members who make our mission come to life. "It brings me great pleasure to be able to see all the wonderful things our generous donors make happen for CHRISTUS patients and families," Janie says. "The CHRISTUS Difference is lived daily here — it truly is a way of life." You It is truly a privilege to work for a faith-based organization with a mission of extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. CHRISTUS Foundation strives to support this mission, connecting the community to these vital services, and the Foundation is only possible with dedicated supporters like you.
