This year's campaign supports the purchase of a portable ultrasound, chemistry freezer, plasma thawer, Workstations on Wheels, Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and the Epic Electronic Health Record System and MyChart. These investments will strengthen diagnostic services and give healthcare teams the tools they need to provide timely, quality care according to Martha Hunt, CMH Foundation chairperson.

“As we celebrate 20 years of the Angels of Care Campaign, we are reminded of what our community can accomplish when we come together,” she said. “These investments will make a meaningful difference for our patients and healthcare teams.”

“When a patient arrives in Emergency, every minute matters. Immediate access to diagnostic images, laboratory results and medical history allows us to make critical decisions and begin treatment without delay,” said Dr. David Li, Chief of Emergency Department at CMH. “This equipment and technology are not simply tools that make our work easier; they are essential to delivering timely care and saving lives.”

Returning this year are The Matchmakers, a group of longstanding supporters who have committed up to $200,000 to match Angels of Care donations dollar for dollar.

“We are incredibly grateful for their continued generosity and commitment to better healthcare close to home. Their support means every donation can go twice as far,” said Hunt.

Gifts to the Angels of Care Campaign between now and Dec. 31 will be matched dollar for dollar by The Matchmakers, up to their $200,000 commitment.
