Dear friends and community members,

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Dameron Hospital’s

Health Outlook

newsletter.

Health Outlook

is intended to let you know about our

focus on good health and how we can help our neighbors lead

vibrant, healthy lives. As a nonprofit hospital, Dameron exists to serve

our community, and we are here for the long run to help you with

your health care needs.

Founded in 1912, Dameron Hospital has been a part of this area

for generations. As I meet people in the community, they often

proudly say, “I was born at Dameron Hospital,” which reminds me of

our deep Central Valley roots and strengthens our resolve to continue

to be a vital health resource for local residents far into the future.

In order to prepare ourselves for what lies ahead in our second

century of health care delivery, we’ve been making some exciting

changes—like our new MRI unit. Some things will never change,

however, such as our unwavering commitment to striving to be the

hospital in the community that physicians prefer, patients request and

employees choose.

One thing is going to change right now. Many people say that they

don’t really know what we’ve been up to lately. Dameron Hospital

seems to have been one of the best-kept secrets in Stockton. It’s

clearly the right time for us to begin spreading the news about the

quality of our care and our broad base of services and programs—and

Health Outlook

is one of the ways we intend to do that.

We have something really special going on here, and we’re excited

to share some of that with you.

Yours in health,

Lorraine P. Auerbach

President and CEO

An inside look

Investing again in leading-edge technology

Today, many health conditions can only be accurately

diagnosed and treated using state-of-the-art imaging

technology—such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Dameron Hospital is excited to announce the addition of

an MRI unit to serve our patients’ needs and physicians’

requests here in our facility. Our new MRI service is

temporarily being delivered using a mobile MRI coach with

a state-of-the-art General Electric MRI unit. This will be used

until our permanent MRI facility is completed next year.

Your support makes a difference

Dameron Hospital is committed to incorporating advanced

technology to complement our compassionate patient care.

To support that goal, the Dameron Hospital Foundation’s

mission is to raise funds for medical equipment to support

the hospital’s delivery of excellent patient care and improve

the health of the community.

As community health needs grow, philanthropic support

provided through the generosity of individuals helps us in

meeting our mission. The Dameron Hospital Foundation has

giving opportunities for every size and type of gift.

While we now have MRI technology on campus, your

donation for our new, larger MRI facility and/or other new

equipment advances will help us respond to the rapidly

growing demand for critical health care services and ensure

that the residents of this community, for generations to

come, can benefit from our lifesaving patient care.

Show your support. Funds raised in 2016 will help to

underwrite the $1.8 million cost of our permanent

MRI facility. For more information, please call the
