Looking to the future

At St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center ®, we are deeply proud of our 100 -plus year history of excellence in patient care. Yet even as we celebrate our storied past, it also is critical for us to look ahead and be proactive in our efforts to shape a vision for the St. Francis of the future. The practice of medicine is continually evolving and St. Francis physicians are helping to carve new pathways for care. Whether in the form of OPCI fellowships and global conferences hosted by Richard Shlofmitz, MD, or through our Roswell Park partnership for clinical trials and research led by Bhoomi Mehrotra, MD, at the St. Francis Cancer Institute, our hospital is actively engaged in shaping the future of medicine for the community.

It is essential that the physical space at the main St. Francis Hospital campus and our growing number of ambulatory sites keep pace with the outstanding care offered by our clinicians. Philanthropy has a central role to play in ensuring that our physicians, nurses, non-clinical staff, patients and patient families all have world-class physical space and other resources to optimize healing. The future of St. Francis depends on the generosity of families who understand and value our passion for exceptional care. With their support, we know the future will be bright.

Thank you for choosing to be a part of the St. Francis family and giving your support to set the course for the next 100 years of excellence in patient care.

With gratitude,

Peggy Maher

Chief Development Officer, Catholic Health Vice President for Development, St. Francis Hospital Foundation
