From our Foundation Chairman...your support please.

Dear Friends and Family of Saint Mary’s Hospital,

One of the privileges I have as Chair of the Foundation Board of Directors is hearing stories from patients and their families who are so grateful to Saint Mary’s Hospital.

Take Mary Rivard, whose husband Andre came into the Emergency Room having a heart attack. “I really felt so good with him being taken care of there. I could go home at night and know that he was well cared for.”

Or Michael Gay, who elects to drive to Saint Mary’s from his Torrington home for his rehab care because of the staff that have taken care of him. “Saint Mary’s is not the closest hospital to my home. But I choose to keep going back because of the care I get there. The people are amazing.”

Saint Mary’s Hospital continues to be a distinctive health care resource for all of our hometowns. Expert health care coupled with a community of compassionate caregivers are what patients have grown to expect from Saint Mary’s – particularly in their times of need.

Keeping pace with medical advances and ensuring a patient-friendly medical center is costly. We rely on the generous financial support of patients, neighbors and colleagues to ensure the quality of health care for our hometowns is unchanged. Your donations to Saint Mary’s Hospital are an investment in keeping the community we live in healthy.

In recent years, Saint Mary’s friends and family have enabled the Hospital to renovate the Emergency Department, enhance the Telemetry Unit, improve patient access and purchase new equipment. What’s more, donations from community members like you have helped Saint Mary’s Hospital provide health care without regard for a patient’s income status for over 100 years.

Your dollars go right to patient care, equipment and treatment centers. So whether the patient, is you, a member of your family, a neighbor or a complete stranger, the quality of care will never waiver. On behalf of the Board of Directors for Saint Mary’s Hospital Foundation, please accept our deepest gratitude for your gift to Saint Mary’s Hospital. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Eric D. Albert, Chairman
Saint Mary’s Hospital Foundation
