This holiday season, IntraHealth International is taking part in #GivingTuesday, a campaign founded by the United Nations Foundation and its partners to act as a counterweight to the shopping-focused Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

By taking part in #GivingTuesday, IntraHealth celebrates philanthropic giving and hopes to generate conversation about ways in which Americans can give more, give smarter, and make charitable giving part of the holiday season. IntraHealth also hopes to raise awareness of the issues health workers are facing around the world and to solicit donations for our work to address these issues.

#GivingTuesday will take place on December 3, 2013—the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. As part of the campaign, charities, businesses, families, and individuals around the world will work together to harness the power of social media to create an opening day for the giving season. #GivingTuesday provides a framework for Americans to make charitable giving a priority during November.

Donations to IntraHealth will help us ensure that more health workers are present, ready, connected, and safe. Every day, health workers throughout the world are saving and improving lives. But for too many health workers, adequate training, support, and supplies on the job are a luxury, not a given. At IntraHealth we work hard to make sure more people have access to health care and that health workers have the tools they need to do their best work.

Help us and other #GivingTuesday participants ring in the season of giving by making a charitable donation today.
