Building Healthier Communities Campaign: Aurora Medical Center
Medical Equipment and Facility Upgrades
Patient centered opportunity
The Aurora Medical Center celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.
Combining the aging of the physical environment and the expansion of the
communities that we serve, it is anticipated that additional funds will be
needed to upgrade equipment and some areas of the facility.
As a not-for-profit health care provider, Aurora Health Care reinvests
every revenue dollar over and above its expenses back into the hospital
and the community. Whenever the balance between revenue and expense is
affected by negative economic pressures, the amount available to reinvest
in the hospital is constrained. More patients default on their bills,
delay elective procedures, and seek charitable care and assistance.
The “Building Healthier Communities” campaign can help to fill the gap
created by an unsteady economy. Where budgetary dollars are not available,
gifts from our community can help to expedite the purchase of equipment,
address facility renovation needs, and even bring new technology to those
we serve.
Our vision
We believe that every patient deserves the best care, technology and
healing environment when they are treated at Aurora Medical Center. Last
year, nearly 120,000 patient visits, 5,000 inpatient stays, 23,000
emergency department visits, and 4,300 surgical procedures were recorded.
Additionally, almost 10 million dollars in unreimbursed care was provided
to those who entered our doors. The hospital’s patients will benefit as we
work closely with the community to bring about such important advances as:
Medical equipment upgrades with enhanced technologies becoming
available.
Accessibility to new clinical technology in a world that daily is
benefiting from advanced medical research.
Facility upgrades that arise out of capacity and age issues.
Environmental opportunities to enhance the healing space so
important to those we serve.
