2015 Renown Health Annual Report | Page 22

DONORS PROVIDE AN EVEN GREATER CAPACITY TO CARE 20 Renown Health stands ready to serve and perform at the top of our game when patients and the community need us most. To achieve this, we rely in large part on the generous support of our donors. Philanthropy allows us to grow and serve more efficiently. With donor funds, we are hiring great people, constructing additional facilities, purchasing the latest technologies, launching new services and providing help to those with the greatest needs. We commit 100 percent of donations received by the Renown Health Foundation to support initiatives that bolster our abilities to heal others. The David and Judy Hess Children’s Imaging Center, Wilbur D. May Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and William N. Pennington Nursery were all made possible through generous contributions. And just this year, charitable support has allowed us to: • Build new Pediatric Pre/Post Op Rooms and an accompanying Same-Day Surgery Family Lounge — funded by the Magic Gala and Children’s Miracle Network donors. • Begin designing the new Estelle J. Kelsey Simulation Lab, which will be used to enhance simulation training for nurses and doctors. It will also provide opportunities for University of Nevada School of Medicine and Orvis School of Nursing students to train side by side with our professional staff. • Fully underwrite Healing Arts, Child Life and Patient Assistance programs — allowing us to complement outstanding medical care with an extra dose of support and comfort. • Recruit the new Renown Children’s Hospital Chief Pediatric Officer/University of Nevada School of Medicine Chair of Pediatrics — funded in part by the Nell J. Redfield Foundation. We are so grateful for the way our family of donors is stepping forward to help us create a system of total community health — physical, mental and emotional — and making it readily available to all. If we are to make a large and enduring impact, we cannot do it alone. Philanthropy and the involvement of our contributors is mission critical. Every step of the way. Every day.
