TidalHealth Foundation adds development officer for Sussex

TidalHealth Foundation recently announced Isabelle Thompson as its new development officer for Sussex County. In this role, Thompson will lead fundraising efforts for TidalHealth Nanticoke, and work to engage donors and communities across the county.

Thompson will play an integral part in supporting several key healthcare initiatives, including patient assistance funding, the Allen Cancer Center, women’s and children’s services, cardiac care, emergency services and Brooke’s Toy Closet.

A native of eastern Sussex County and a graduate of Cape Henlopen High School, Thompson brings both local expertise and a wealth of experience to the foundation. Previously, she served as a business analyst at the Children’s Beach House nonprofit, and she has spent five years in mission-driven roles with Philadelphia-based nonprofits. Her background provides a unique perspective on community engagement and fundraising efforts.

Thompson holds an associate degree in health sciences from Southern Maine Community College and a bachelor of science degree in public health from Drexel University.

“We are thrilled to welcome Isabelle to the TidalHealth Foundation team,” said Jessica Hales, TidalHealth vice president, chief philanthropy officer, and TidalHealth Foundation president. “Her deep roots in Sussex County and her commitment to advancing healthcare access align perfectly with our mission. We look forward to the impact she will make in growing philanthropic support for TidalHealth Nanticoke.”
