As we enter a new era in healthcare, we have more reasons than ever to
care about the quality and the future of our community hospital. Here
are eight of the most compelling ones.
Thanks to the private philanthropy of our many donors, we’re able
to treat everyone who walks in our doors—from the most affluent
to the most vulnerable—with the quality of care we would give to
our own parents, siblings, or children.
If you suffer a life-threatening injury in Napa, every minute counts.
You don’t have the time to be shuttled to San Francisco. Helicopters
must land at the airport, not within the city limits—and then transfer
patients by ambulance to the hospital. That’s why the Queen has
advanced her expertise and facilities to be comparable with university-level
medical centers. This hospital will be the one to save your life.
Day after day, the Queen’s administration and staff aim for the
highest standard of professional care. And year after year, we are recognized
for our best practices by leading accreditors.
The Queen has never wavered in her mission to treat every person, regardless
of their ability to pay. We actively strive to improve the health of our
whole community. Whether its childhood obesity or oral health screenings,
we deliver care to all of our neighbors, not just the ones who can afford it.
The health care industry is undergoing radical change. No hospital is
immune to the declining reimbursement rates or increased costs. While
we are considered a financially healthy hospital, we operate on narrow
profit margins that can only go so far. Our donors ensure we can improve
our facilities, update equipment and expand critical services.
The Queen must continue to invest in herself to remain current with continuous
changes and advances in health care delivery. From funding new oncology
services to building a new catheterization lab, we have determined nine
funding ambitions which identify our need for philanthropic support to
continue.
We’re fortunate to have received very large, high-profile gifts.
But that’s not the whole story. We also benefit from many smaller
gifts from thousands of people whose aggregate giving has made a measurable
difference. Our collective generosity ensures the Queen is here when we
need her.
Martin Brotman, M.D. said, “Hospitals will become more like public
and private universities, where core programs are funded by taxes and
tuition, but margins of excellence result from philanthropy.” It’s
that “margin of excellence” we want to achieve. We can do
it because of you.
