Mariners Hospital

Fundraising at a Glance

Nurses play a crucial role on the front lines of community health, caring for our patients and ensuring their safety and well-being. Last year, Mariners Hospital honored the nursing staff by holding its 17th Annual Mariners Hospital Walk/ Run, benefiting the hospital’s Center for Excellence in Nursing. The Walk/Run was held virtually from November 15-20, giving many in the Keys community and beyond the opportunity to participate and show their support. Philanthropy helps the Center give our nurses the gifts of education, training, state-of-the-art equipment and technology — vital tools they need to offer high-quality care for our patients. The 17th Annual Mariners Hospital Walk/Run raised more than $44,000.

Looking to the Future

Patients at Mariners Hospital count on dedicated caregivers to deliver compassionate care and service in a safe, respectful environment. They also count on the hospital’s advanced technology and equipment, designed to perform with the highest standards of safety and effectiveness. The hospital is currently in need of a new, stateof-the-art Siemens MRI scanner. This new technology will allow for improved image quality, more accurate diagnosis and reduced patient anxiety with a larger opening and shorter scan times. Philanthropy will play an important role in making sure Mariners Hospital is equipped with the tools it needs to provide optimum care.
