Your investment in the 39th Annual Gala is fueling the Foundation's $30 million commitment to the transformation that is taking place at Good Samaritan Hospital through Good Samaritan Foundation's fundraising initiative, Forever Forward. We have an obligation to care for the next generation, as we’ve done for more than 170 years. Motivated by our mission to serve, a world-class care facility will bring the Cancer and Advanced Surgical Institutes, including Neurosciences, the Emergency Department, Women’s Services, cardiac services, and centralized diagnostics into one convenient location. By doing so, we will enhance access and patient experience, improving access and wayfinding.
