Each year the Foundation’s Board of Trustees develops an annual plan based upon the previous year’s income to strategically plan program funding for the upcoming year. For fiscal year 2012, the Foundation funded over $6.7 million for programs and services, capital improvements, equipment, and education. This is the largest annual funding in the Foundation’s history. A significant portion of this funding is from the success of the Cornerstone Campaign, which is the fulfillment of the Foundation’s funding commitment to Marian for the building of the new hospital.
Cornerstone Campaign $5,746,691 Beginning in 2007, the Cornerstone Campaign raised money to support the building of the new hospital facility.
Robotic Surgery Program $357,984 The Robotic Surgery Program, one of Marian’s newest technologies, utilizes the da Vinci Surgical System, a minimally-invasive approach to surgery so that patients have shorter recovery times, smaller scars, and less pain.
Palliative Care, Home Care, and Hospice $93,581 These funds help support Marian’s programs dealing with pain management at Marian Extended Care Center, home health visits from Marian Home Care Services, and end-of-life care offered through Marian Hospice.
Other Marian Programs and Services $261,727
These funds provide for the numerous programs and services offered by Marian, including maternity and newborn care, staff education, rehabilitation services, and many others.
Capital Improvements and Equipment $298,000 With the opening of the new hospital, many equipment items were purchased to enhance patient care and safety. Some of these items include a new nurse call system to complement the new pod-style setup of patient rooms, new ventilators for the Respiratory Therapy Department, and new medication dispensing cabinets that automatically dispense doses of medication and surgical supplies to help reduce medical errors and increase patient safety.
