Thanks toyour<br />
support last<br />
year, countless men, women and children in our<br />
community benefited from the compassionate and lifesaving<br />
care at Unity and Mercy Hospitals. Whether you<br />
designated Unity or Mercy Hospital as a beneficiary in<br />
your will, donated to the expansion of the Emergency<br />
Departments, attended a special fundraising event,<br />
volunteered on a committee or provided leadership as<br />
a Foundation board member, you played a vital role in<br />
improving the quality of life in our community. That’s what<br />
the spirit of giving is all about: helping others by sharing<br />
our gifts of time, talent and treasure.<br />
Over the past year the Emergency Departments<br />
completed Phase I of their expansion and remodeling.<br />
The spaces now have private patient rooms, a new<br />
control/triage area and new equipment. Phase II is now<br />
underway to include additional patient rooms, control/<br />
triage areas, mental health suites, isolation rooms and<br />
remodeled waiting areas. This allows for the staff to treat<br />
more emergency and trauma patients than ever before.<br />
The Foundation has raised over $475,000 toward this<br />
expansion and remodeling.<br />
This annual report is dedicated to you—our donors—who<br />
believe in our mission of directing philanthropic gifts<br />
to innovative programs, life-saving equipment, and<br />
humanitarian funds which make our community healthier<br />
in body, mind and spirit. Your donations in 2007 did just<br />
that. These pages will show you some of the ways you<br />
made someone’s life better through your involvement<br />
with the Foundation.<br />
As we have stated before, the Foundation is built on the<br />
principle that “Our donors are our greatest asset.” For<br />
your generosity, we are deeply grateful.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Doris Schulte<br />
