When you give a gift through our foundation, you're helping the only charitable hospital in our community. We receive no tax support like county hospitals do (Parkland in Dallas or JPS in Fort Worth, as examples) — and we have no help from shareholders like for-profit hospitals (Medical City).
It is gifts from donors that help us fund the purchase of new and replacement equipment, to help pay for continuing nursing and hospital staff education, and allow us to develop programs focused on getting and keeping people healthy.
In our last business year that ended June 30, 2019, donors gave more than $1 million for new medical equipment that otherwise could not be purchased from hospital revenues after expenses. Community contributions through our foundation also provided more than $25,000 in education for nurses and more than $200,000 for programs at our clinic for the uninsured and for our facility that provides assistance dogs.
