This is a result of 9,335 donors who\u2019ve contributed to Asante to help improve the lives of the people who live in our community now and for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe community continues to amaze us with its generosity and commitment to transforming health care in Southern Oregon,\u201d said Andrea Reeder, director of campaign and operations at Asante Foundation. \u201cPhilanthropy enables Asante to expand its facilities and services for patients and enhance the programs and capabilities that happen within our walls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, Asante received the largest gift in its history \u2014 $5 million from Mary and Dick Heimann \u2014 whose names have a permanent mark on the new regional cancer center in Medford. Recently, other community leaders came forward with three historical gifts for AsanteForward:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>George and Susan Alameda&nbsp;\u2013 $1 million toward the patient pavilion, naming the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul and Geertje de Vos&nbsp;\u2013 $1 million toward the Heimann Cancer Center, naming the healing garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wanda Olsrud&nbsp;\u2013 $1 million toward the Heimann Cancer Center and children\u2019s hospital-within-a-hospital in the patient pavilion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese investment opportunities don\u2019t come around every decade. The need is there. I can point at that [pavilion] and say, \u2018We were a part of that\u2019,\u201d said George Alameda. \u201cAsante is a cornerstone of the community. We\u2019re glad to be able to support the AsanteForward campaign with our gift. We encourage everyone to take a moment to consider how they, too, can contribute their time or resources in creating a lasting legacy for our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2019, the community has moved forward several facets of AsanteForward initiatives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implemented the first two phases of the&nbsp;Behavioral Health Initiative, including a new Behavioral Health Unit at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center, which opened in June 2020, and rolled out trauma-informed care education and training called The Sanctuary Model\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expanded the Asante Three Rivers Medical Center&nbsp;Emergency Department&nbsp;and installed a new&nbsp;helipad. The expanded ED fully opened in December 2020, and the helipad was installed in August 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Built the new&nbsp;Mary and Dick Heimann Cancer Center&nbsp;in Medford and expanded&nbsp;Helen K. Spears Cancer Center&nbsp;in Grants Pass. Both facilities opened in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Broke ground on the new six-story&nbsp;patient pavilion&nbsp;at Asante Rogue Regional in November 2020. This facility will be home to a&nbsp;new children\u2019s hospital-within-a-hospital,&nbsp;cardiac care,&nbsp;critical care&nbsp;(CCU, ICU and IMCU) and&nbsp;advanced surgical services. Construction is expected to be completed in fall of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, a new campaign component was launched for Asante Ashland Community Hospital to become an&nbsp;Age-Friendly Health System, addressing the unique care needs for the aging population in Southern Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fundraising continues for all campaign initiatives, including programs and support services that will help patients who receive care within the new and enhanced facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you look at what it takes to make advancements like this possible, community investment is an important piece of the puzzle that allows Asante to continue our expansion efforts, even during challenging times,\u201d said Scott Kelly, president and CEO of Asante. \u201cAs your local, non-profit health system we believe it is our duty to be here for the community, and we\u2019re grateful the community trusts Asante with its health care and financial contributions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more or get involved today:&nbsp;www.asantefoundation.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asante Foundation has surpassed the $35 million milestone just four years in to its 10-year, $50 million capital campaign, AsanteForward.
