Introduction
The Next 25 Year Campaign is a multi--year major capital campaign undertaken to create a firm foundation to meet future funding needs for expansion, strengthening staff and technological initiatives. The Goal of the campaign is to raise $5 million over and above our annual fundraising requirements. As of June 2007, we are more than two-thirds of the way to reaching our goal of $5 million. Your donation will help us meet our goal and fund these important initiatives. We invite you to read the full text of the campaign below. We will be happy to discuss recognition opportunities.
Objectives
Our objectives are listed in random order, but are interlinked in their support
and dependence upon each other:
- Strengthen — staff and
facilities
- Enhance — quality of
services and value to patients and families
- Expand — existing and
new programs into the community and “outside our front doors”
The complexity of patient care has increased tenfold in the last decade as people live longer and as a
result, incur multiple conditions that require a highly skilled nursing staff to
manage symptomatic pain. Nurses are in short supply and therefore, we must help
“grow” our nursing staff by providing educational support through time and
money. Major improvements for in-patient care require constant facility
management and upgrades.
Enhancing the quality of services and value to patients, means that a stronger staff, educated to the
needs of a larger, ever-aging diverse population must be immediately available.
It also means reaching into unique cultures and adapting to their diversity.
Expanding our existing programs into the community and “outside our front doors” responds to the needs
voiced in the community for increased education on end-of-life issues. The new
programs in development allow us to meet these concerns while also supporting
the medical profession who readily admit that they are not adequately trained to
deal with end-of-life issues.
Use of Funds
Funds raised in this
comprehensive effort will support three key initiatives:
-
Capital improvements and equipment for our
diverse care delivery sites. Alternative usages of the building must be
explored to maximize the potential of the building and its location. Any
major renovation to increase income will require funds well into the seven
figures to accomplish.
-
Staff development for education, recruitment
and retention, physician and medical student rotation program. We must
recruit for specialized linguistic skills and grow teams of specialized
caregivers to accommodate the growing multi-cultural segment of our
community. Select valued program enhancement for bereavement support,
pediatrics, community and professional education.
-
Mergers, acquisitions of marginal hospice
providers, expand existing programs further into our community, manage
unforeseen environmental disasters, and permanently fund key positions,
collaboration with hospitals and other medical providers necessary for
long-range planning and growth.
Each and every donation is an investment in our work to meet the needs of the dying. Your
philanthropic support is crucial to help us provide critical programs and
services to meet our community's growing hospice needs. Please help us with a donation to the Next 25 Years Campaign. Thank you.
