Dear Friends:<br />

This past year was truly a celebration of giving for Mercy<br />

& Unity Hospitals Foundation. In early January 2006,<br />

we celebrated the conclusion of our “Heart of the<br />

Community” Capital Campaign. I am pleased to announce<br />

that we raised more than $1,550,000 toward the purchase<br />

of the $2.7 million Magnetic Resonance Imaging for<br />

Angiography (MRI) technology. It was through your<br />

generosity that we were able to achieve this outcome. I want<br />

to personally thank Lary Carlson and Doris Schulte for their<br />

campaign leadership as well as our board of directors and<br />

campaign committee for their work on behalf of our patients.<br />

Another reason to celebrate is that this year we were able to<br />

award more than $400,000 in grants to hospital programs<br />

and community initiatives. Examples of these awards are<br />

Automatic External Defibrillators (AED’s) for Anoka<br />

County’s first responders, medical and nursing scholarships,<br />

the community based Parish Nurse Program and the Maternal<br />

Child Tobacco Intervention Program.<br />

My experience on the board since its inception as a<br />

Foundation has been one of the most rewarding aspects of<br />

my community service. It is because of your generosity that<br />

Mercy & Unity Hospitals continue to be an integral part<br />

of our community, providing the highest level of care to our<br />

neighbors. As I have said before, you remain, as always,<br />

our most valuable asset and the Foundation board and staff<br />

are very grateful for your support.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Jim Amundson<br />

Chairman, Board of Directors<br />

Mercy & Unity Hospitals Foundation<br />
