ach year, gifts to Huntington Annual Fund from our diverse community of supporters — including patients, other local residents, employees, physicians and friends — help to strengthen the hospital. More than 3,000 donors provide approximately $5 million in flexible operating support through the fund on an annual basis. Their support helps bridge the gap between available revenue streams and the actual costs of providing care, and strengthens care and outcomes for our patients. We are deeply grateful. By making a gift to Huntington Annual Fund, you help us:
• Attract and retain highly skilled clinical staff. • Offer the latest advancements in care. • Provide opportunities for advanced nursing education, resulting in even better care at the bedside. • Upgrade technologies and maintain premier facilities to further enhance patient outcomes. • Support advanced clinical research that leads to new medical discoveries. Gifts to Huntington Annual Fund also help us meet unforeseen needs as they arise, without affecting our long-term financial stability or ability to achieve existing goals. Looking to the future, given the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, gifts to our annual fund will be more essential than ever.
ENABLING INNOVATION THROUGH ANNUAL SUPPORT
Huntington Annual Fund and President’s Circle Ways to give.
There are many ways to make an immediate — and often lifelong — impact on our patients and their caregivers. You may provide unrestricted support, which gives us maximum flexibility to use funds where they are needed most. This includes, for example, attracting the best and brightest clinical staff, providing ongoing caregiver education, maintaining and upgrading state-of-the-art facilities and more.
Alternatively, you may designate your gift to a specific area of our work that has special meaning for you. Funds will be used to support the greatest needs in the area/s of your choice. Donors to Huntington Annual Fund receive exclusive benefits (see opposite), including — for those providing gifts of $2,000 and above — membership in the President’s Circle of Huntington Hospital. President’s Circle donors provide approximately 80 percent of annual fund contributions and we particularly appreciate their generous support.
We encourage you to join President’s Circle members and other annual fund donors today, to ensure the continued availability of high-quality care close to home. For questions regarding the President’s Circle of Huntington Hospital or to learn more about our Benefactor Circle program, please contact Lia Peterson Miller, senior director of donor engagement and communications, at (626) 397-3241.
