HUGH COOPER ADMINISTRATIVE CENTER, WAS COMPLETED IN 2024. THE FOUNDATION CONTRIBUTED $3.3 MILLION TOWARD THE $6 MILLION CONSTRUCTION COST. THE HALL IS AN INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WHERE HEALTHCARE WORKERS CAN LEARN NEW SKILLS AND REFINE CURRENT SKILLS. THE HALL WILL ALSO HELP TO TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS.

(Expenses $ 5,456,849 including grants of $ 5,136,314)(Revenue $ 0) PRESBYTERIAN HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN FIRMLY COMMITTED TO A SINGULAR PURPOSE -IMPROVING HEALTH-SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1968 AS ONE OF THE FIRST 100 HOSPITAL FOUNDATIONS IN THE COUNTRY. IN THE PAST 56 YEARS, WE HAVE PRIORITIZED FUNDRAISING FOR FOUR CORE AREAS: 1) NURSING/STAFF EDUCATION; 2) PATIENT ASSISTANCE (FOR TRANSPORTATION, LODGING AND OTHER BASIC NEEDS); 3) PROGRAM SUPPORT; AND 4) CAPITAL NEEDS (FACILITY CONSTRUCTION/RENOVATION AND EQUIPMENT). OUR DONORS HAVE PROVIDED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR PATIENT-CENTERED WORK, WHICH OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT HAPPEN. PHILANTHROPY IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR PRIORITY PROGRAMS THAT AREN'T FINANCIALLY SELF-SUSTAINING, SUCH AS PRESBYTERIAN COMMUNITY HEALTH INITIATIVES ADDRESSING FOOD INSECURITY, AND PROGRAMS SUCH AS RESET, WHICH SUPPORT THE WELL-BEING OF OUR PHYSICIANS AND OTHER PROVIDERS. BECAUSE OUR FOUNDATION OPERATIONS ARE FUNDED ENTIRELY WITH INCOME FROM TWO ENDOWMENTS, WE CAN DIRECT 100% OF NEW CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO PROGRAMS AIMED AT IMPROVING HEALTH: NO PORTION OF NEW GIFTS SUPPORT FUNDRAISING OR ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. IN 2024, THE FOUNDATION RAISED $8,091,063 AND PROVIDED $10,152,336 IN IMMEDIATE FUNDING TO PRESBYTERIAN PROGRAMS.
