From the vice president & chief development officer Michael J. Duran
At Tucson Medical Center, we are committed to providing extraordinary care to our patients and their families. Every day, we strive to make a difference in the lives of those entrusted in our care. Exemplifying the best of Tucson’s past, present and potential, Tucson Medical Center stands as a leader in what community health care can and should be. Today, TMC is Southern Arizona’s leading provider for emergency care and pediatric care with top-notch intensive care units for adults, children and newborns. Other specialty areas include women’s, maternity, cardiovascular, orthopaedic, neuroscience, hospice, imaging and senior services.
We extend heartfelt thanks to our physicians, nurses, care staff, volunteers and all members of the TMC family for their many contributions during this past year of growth and success. TMC is the community’s hospital, and our donors are its backbone. Supporters like you allow us to continue to be an asset for the community and a regional leader in health care. Generations of donors have helped to ensure the delivery of the highest quality care in Tucson and Southern Arizona.
The TMC Foundation has been proud to provide the financial resources needed to advance this care. These resources have enabled the hospital to build on its excellence year by year through improving the facilities, purchasing lifesaving equipment, expanding opportunities for training and education, and collaborating with other community partners to benefit patients and the broader community. This past year was no exception.
YOUR BELIEF IN OUR MISSION AND YOUR GENEROSITY LITERALLY SUSTAINS US, ESPECIALLY IN DIFFICULT ECONOMIC TIMES. PLEASE KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR SUPPORT MEANS TO US AND TO THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES YOU HAVE HELPED TO IMPROVE. THANK YOU!
Our pediatric expansion campaign is closer to the goal line thanks to our donors; we supported the Hospital to Home program to ensure continuity of care for patients with chronic conditions; and our local Children’s Miracle Network sponsors have raised more funds for TMC for Children than ever before. Whether people give their time, money or expertise, the support for the TMC Foundation has been nothing short of inspirational. We would be remiss if we did not mention the incredible efforts and resources put forth by our donors, board members and volunteers.
