A Special Message from Liz Kolcun, President

Liz Kolcun, PresidentDear Friends,

Thanks to the continued generosity of our donor community, MarinHealth Foundation is making vital strides toward ensuring access to the best possible care across Marin and the North Bay. Every gift – whether large or small – helps us support life-changing programs and services at our independent, nonprofit hospital and throughout our healthcare system.

As a community-based foundation, we rely on your support to fund breakthrough technologies, enhance patient care, and expand essential services – all of which you can explore on this website. Whether advancing heart and diabetes care, supporting cutting edge cancer treatment and surgical innovation, or extending access to critical screenings, your contributions help us care for our neighbors, families, and future generations.

In addition to ongoing program needs, in 2025, we are also raising funds to purchase four new Tomosynthesis Mammography Machines, which will make high-quality mammograms even faster and more comfortable – improving the experience for the patient and expanding our ability to meet a wider range of needs.

We are also seeking support for our Cancer Care Program, which provides comprehensive, compassionate support alongside exceptional clinical treatment. This includes funding our Oncology Patient Navigators, who guide patients through every step of their cancer journey and connect them with critical resources like transportation, nutrition, and emotional support. Additionally, the Oncology Patient Assistance Fund helps remove financial barriers that might otherwise interfere with a patient’s ability to receive care.

More information on these important initiatives, along with a full list of current funding priorities, is available on our Funding Priorities page.

Your partnership continues to be the cornerstone of our progress. On behalf of MarinHealth Foundation, thank you for your trust, your generosity, and your belief in the power of local, community-supported healthcare.

With Appreciation,
Liz Kolcun
President, MarinHealth Foundation
