Thank you again for making the GMC Foundation so successful. We are celebrating our 20th Anniversary this year, and indeed there is so much to celebrate!

Last fall, we announced that our Open Heart is in Your Hands campaign was transitioning from the quiet phase to the public phase of the campaign. And while we had the loudest “quiet phase” in the history of fundraising campaigns because of the very public and political debate with other hospital systems surrounding GMC’s efforts to bring open heart surgical services to the largest county in the nation without them; it is a real joy to report that to date we have raised over $6.5 million toward our $8 million fundraising goal.

While there is a lot to celebrate, we still need your help to get where we are going. Your gifts accelerate everything we do and allow us to bring life saving services much more quickly to the community we share. So, as you continue to consider your philanthropic objectives this year and into the future, I want to invite you to remember the great work GMC is doing and please continue to support the hospital’s Foundation. Together, everything is possible.
