TRI-CITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
Programs
Emergency Services and Health Improvements
The Foundation is a supporting organization to the Tri-City Healthcare District dba Tri-City Medical Center (District) and provides grants for hospital programs, services and capital needs as approved by the Foundation Board. The Foundation is supported primarily through donor contributions and grants.The major projects accomplished this fiscal year under this program were:Emergency Department Remodel Project and Purchase of Digital x-ray units: $935,000A 2-3-year, $4.5 million redesign and renovation of our Emergency Department was launched in 2022. This redesign will allow the medical center to blend sustainable design elements with operational innovation to create efficiencies unique to an emergency department of the future. Comfort and speed will be central to complementing the outstanding clinical outcomes the medical center has become synonymous with. Once completely funded, this project will completely reimagine the medical centers emergency room entrance, patient and family waiting area, lighting, triage area, and Station A, one of three major treatment areas in the emergency department. This project will serve to strengthen our ability to provide critical emergency services to a community which is socioeconomically diverse with a large transient population. Additionally, we purchased a Digital X-ray unit, along with two state-of-the-art Portable Digital X-ray units to allow more accurate and efficient diagnosis. These units also allow for a better patient experience in times of great duress. Endobronchial Ultra Sound (EBUS): $408,600In order to launch a state-of-the-art early stage lung cancer detection program, we needed to purchase an EBUS. This device enables us to have all elements of this program to begin performing procedures for lung nodules. This program saves lives by capturing early stage lung cancer, which has a direct correlation to increasing survival rates for patients. Operating Room (OR) and Cath Lab Improvements: $489,200To continue to provide excellent outcomes and improvements for our OR and Cath Lab, the Foundation purchased a C-Arm and Hemo System for electrophysiology cases and Pacemaker Implants. It is critical to allow cardiac specialists to generate precise images and deliver accurate diagnoses and treatments and the C-Arm is versatile and allows mobile capabilities for various diagnostic and surgical applications.Neurology and Spinal Surgery: $387,100The purchase of a state-of-the-art neurosurgical microscope was purchased to be used by both, cranial and spinal surgeons. The current microscope was suboptimal due aging and volume capacity. Women & Newborn Remote Monitors: $149,200New remote monitors were purchased to provide full-time monitoring for expectant mothers in the Emergency Department and ICU. Wellness Center and MISC: $215,011Other support was provided for improvement and development at the Wellness Center, hospice services, case management, infection control education, Parkinsons Disease support, patient treatment and experience improvements.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.6MProgram 1 [2025]

The Foundation is supported primarily through donor contributions and grants.The major projects accomplished this fiscal year under this program were:Emergency Department Remodel Project: $2,494,800We committed to a transformative $4.5 million redesign and renovation of our Emergency Department, launched in 2022. This project integrates sustainable design principles with operational innovation to create a more efficient, patient-centered department. Improvements in comfort, speed, and access will enhance the outstanding clinical outcomes for which the medical center is known.Once complete, this project strengthens our capacity to deliver high-quality emergency care to a socioeconomically diverse community, including a significant transient population.Spinal Navigation & Robotic System: $1,491,900In alignment with our mission, we invested in a state-of-the-art Spinal Navigation and Robotic System to advance the precision and safety of spinal surgery. This technology enables surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater accuracy, resulting in smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and improved outcomes for patients.By integrating advanced imaging with robotic guidance, this system enhances surgical planning and executionallowing physicians to navigate even the most intricate anatomy with confidence. This investment represents our continued commitment to ensuring that patients in our community have access to advanced, compassionate care comparable to that offered at major academic medical centers.Telemetry Equipment: $1,323,786When our aging telemetry monitors began to fail, we identified an immediate threat to patient safety and continuity of care. In response, we prioritized replacement of this critical equipment to ensure every patient continues to receive the highest level of monitoring and attention.Telemetry monitoring is essential to the early detection of cardiac and respiratory distress, enabling care teams to respond swiftly when seconds matter most. This investment reflects our dedication to safeguarding lives through vigilance and innovationensuring no compromise is ever made when it comes to patient care.Hospice Support: $52,959Funds provided compassionate support for hospice patients and their families, ensuring comfort, dignity, and peace during end-of-life care. The foundations contributions funded specialized equipment, bereavement services, and patient assistance programs that enhance quality of life and emotional well-being to patients and loved ones at every stage of life.Miscellaneous Program Support: $19,058Funds supported staff development, patient safety, and community engagement initiatives. This included Outpatient Behavioral Health staff training, hand hygiene compliance efforts, and a donated Hoyer Lift (GIK) to enhance patient care and safety. The foundation also contributed to the TCMC Holiday Party, Physician Appreciation and Stroke Awareness events, and attendance at the International Stroke Conference to advance clinical education. Additional support was provided for Campus Beautification and Patient Experience initiatives, the State of the Hospital event, and Parkinsons disease equipment purchases to improve patient services and outcomes.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2024 – Jun 30, 2025Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$5.4M
