• Vascular Medicine – Cydar Medical AI Technology & Community Outreach
  Given the severe consequences of a ruptured aortic aneurysm, the demographics of our community, and the lives that can be saved with a proactive strategy, MarinHealth is making advanced vascular care a priority. With donor support for this initiative, MarinHealth Foundation will be able to extend its current screening campaign across the North Bay and purchase state-of-the art Cydar Medical AI software that greatly improves aortic surgeries. With screenings easily accessible, MarinHealth will be able to identify people at risk. Having innovative technology in place will save lives and distinguish MarinHealth as a leader in vascular care.

• Oncology Patient Assistance Fund
  From leading-edge treatments to cutting-edge healing environments, compassionate care teams to state-of-art technologies, patient and family support groups to an innovative Integrative Wellness Center — MarinHealth offers the full spectrum of cancer care opportunities. But even with comprehensive services, the cancer journey can come with obstacles. When you support the Oncology Patient Assistance Fund, your generosity helps provide resources for cancer patients in need.

New Graduate Nurse Residency Program
Nurses are the heartbeat of all hospitals and that is especially true here at MarinHealth. Advocate, care coordinator, pharmacy interface, therapy liaison — they do it all while providing essential, hands-on care at the patient’s bedside. In fact, a nurse’s skills and clinical judgment shape virtually every moment of the patient experience — and have enormous impact on the outcomes of a patient’s care. Anyone who has experienced care at MarinHealth can attest to this. Please help us invest in nurses who will carry MarinHealth’s care standards and values into the future and prepare them to evolve into seasoned professionals who can expand their skills, keep up with developments in medicine, and mentor the next generation of colleagues.
