Donor Funded Projects

Our history is a legacy of caring & support.

The foundation provides funds for critical needs of the medical center and community service programs that have totaled more than $9.1 million. Some of these projects include:

  • Renovating and expanding the operating rooms, surgery waiting room, pre-op and recovery areas and adding new equipment.
  • Expansion of the Emergency Room
  • Building the St. Mary's Medical Center Atrium which now includes the St. Mary's Heart Center, the Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine, Orthopedic Surgeons, Inc., the Holy Family Chapel, patient registration and other services
  • Equipment for diagnosing breast cancer (stereotactic breast biopsy system)
  • Imaging equipment for The Pain Center
  • High-tech care for premature infants in the neo-natal intensive care unit (NICU) in partnership with Children's Mercy Hospital
  • Expansion of our cardiology services, which, in partnership with Kansas City Cardiology physicians, now includes interventional procedures and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week
  • Waiting room renovations and many other important needs of the medical center

Current Needs: Quality Healthcare and Community Service

The foundation is currently seeking funds for projects that include:

  • Advanced Imaging Equipment - The foundation will help fund vital equipment needs for cardiac and other vital medical procedures.
     
  • Healthy Beginnings - This program provides counseling and pre/post-natal care for socially at risk pregnant women. Through one-on-one relationships with OB nurses, patients are encouraged to adopt healthy lifestyle choices including good nutrition, cessation of smoking and alcohol, and learning about parenting and child safety.
     
  • Mission Fund - Contributions to the Mission Fund help St. Mary's patients who have financial needs - those who are uninsured, cannot afford their medications or home health equipment. We are called to provide healthcare that leaves no one behind.
     
  • Continuing Education for Nurses and Other St. Mary's Staff - Donors can honor our dedicated nurses and staff by providing gifts designated for continuing education so they can receive training in the latest medical advances and practices.

Voice of the Patient

  • “I enjoyed both the classes and the exercise. I seemed to get better with the exercise program the longer I attended, which, of course, is the whole point!”
  • “I admired the professionalism of the staff. They were all very cheerful and kept the classes lively and enjoyable. They all are a credit to the hospital.”
  • “Everyone who knows me and my exercise regimen, including my doctors, did not think I would find value in Cardiac Rehab, but I did and it was thanks to the staff.”
  • “The bond that develops between the class participants was an unexpected bonus!”
  • “The most helpful part of the program was the quality care provided by the five nurses. While running on the treadmill, I watched them work with and encourage each of the other patients. You have a great staff!”
  • “The entire program was excellent. The classes were great and the nursing staff was very knowledgeable.”
  • “This program is excellent; it was vital to my full recovery and restored health.”
  • “The program was outstanding. All of it was well planned and the staff was very professional; I appreciated their pleasant smiles and friendly voices.”
  • “The most helpful part of the program was clearly the nursing staff. They took time to clearly define and answer all questions and their working knowledge of anatomy was communicated in terms that all could understand. I especially benefited from the in-depth reviews concerning how the heart worked and how procedures and/or drugs could work to correct issues.”
  • “Thank you for your support and for guiding me through this difficult time. Words cannot express my gratitude for all you have done. Your kindness and compassion is greatly appreciated.”
  • “I was overwhelmed with your kindness and caring.”
  • “Thank you for your extraordinary kindness, guidance and support.”
  • “I could not have done this without you.”
  • “You all are my angels.”
  • “Thank you for your support in a time when I was freaking out.”
  • “The Breast Center put the care in health care.”
  • “I really did not have any comment about how it could have been better. I have been to (patient named 3 other area hospitals) and have had surgery at all three of those facilities. None of them even compare to St. Joseph. I’ve had very good experiences there. Your staff is very welcoming and if I have to have another procedure done. I plan on going to St. Joseph.”
  • “I think that the nurses did an excellent job in taking care of me – they were always there. They did just an excellent job-that’s what I really have to say. And the doctor too did an excellent job taking care of me. I found I got excellent care at St. Joe. I had a very good experience there and I highly recommend it. I had no problem whatsoever.”
