2007 in review
Continuing a Tradition of Care
As the Sisters of St. Francis have done since 1999, they continue to look for investments that benefit the communities we serve. In 2007, we began numerous hours of planning the 9,000+ square foot cancer center that will offer radiation therapy, a service that local residents currently have to leave the community to receive. In addition to radiation therapy, the cancer center will provide chemotherapy and healing gardens that will be visible from the chemotherapy treatment rooms.
Due to some creative thinking and planning this year, we were able to put together our largest MUFFY (Montgomery United Fund For You) internal campaign. Forty-five percent of our employees have committed more than $26,000 to benefit local non-profits in Montgomery County, up from a 26% participation rate in 2006.
We continue to see a steady demand for health care services in Montgomery County and surrounding areas. In 2007, we provided more than $1.9 million in charity care and more than $8.9 million in un-reimbursed costs of Medicaid and Medicare, showing our commitment to caring to the rising number of uninsured or underinsured.
As we look into the future of St. Clare Medical Center, we are focused on continuing to provide quality, compassionate medical services close to home. From prenatal care to bereavement counseling and everything in between, life really does happen right here.
For more than 106 years, we’ve been here for you – and we intend to be here for years to come.
