Dear Friends, For some, a hospital is simply a building with beds, rooms, and special equipment where you go when you are sick. St. Mary Medical Center is vastly different! St. Mary is a special place where state-of-the-art medical care is delivered with skill and compassion to the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. St. Mary is a place where dedicated, talented people work together to not only heal, but also prevent illness before it strikes. It is where the latest diagnostic and treatment options in fighting cancer, cardiovascular disease, orthopedic conditions, and emergency medical problems ensure the highest levels of patient satisfaction. 2
For more than 30 years, St. Mary has joyfully fulfilled its mission of providing high-quality care to everyone, especially the poor and underserved, both at the medical center and through its Community Health Ministries in Bensalem. What inspires me to be part of the extended St. Mary family is to see the medical center’s technological growth coupled with hands-on, personal care from devoted staff. In 2005, St. Mary started one of its most significant expansion projects to meet the evolving healthcare needs of our community. To support this endeavor, the St. Mary Foundation launched a $5.5 million capital campaign to help fund the $60 million investment in facility, equipment, and technology upgrades. Through your generosity, St. Mary made great strides implementing its strategic growth plan in 2005. Some of the year’s highlights include: • Introduction of IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) at the St. Mary Regional Cancer Center • Construction of a $21.5 million Cardiovascular Care Unit and $5.5 million Emergency Department expansion, which includes a new parking garage • Construction of an orthopedic surgical suite and two new electrophysiology (EP) laboratories with biplane imaging • Enhancements in computer technology, such as a new digital radiology system known as PACS (Picture Archival and Communications System) and an Emergency Department patient information system known as IBEX • Diagnostic advances, such as new MRI capabilities for breast and prostate imaging, 64-slice CT scanning, digital mammography, and three-dimensional cardiac ultrasound • Modernization and expansion of the Clinical Laboratory • Renovation of the kitchen and introduction of room-service dining Much has been accomplished, but more work lies ahead. With your continued support, we can fund the next phase of service and facility expansions at St. Mary. Those expansions include a comprehensive breast center for early diagnosis of breast cancer and further enhancements to the St. Mary Regional Cancer Center. Together, we can ensure that St. Mary continues to serve our families’ healthcare needs – today and for generations to come. Sincerely, Frank Guarrieri, Esq.
