The capacity for individual impact is
limited only by our own imagination.
Nine women in 1938 shared a vision for a community hospital in the mid-peninsula and
today that hospital -- Sequoia Hospital -- is a 2013 HealthGrades
TM
America's 50 Best
Hospitals Award
TM
winner, according to the leading independent healthcare ratings
company. In partnership with individuals like you, Sequoia impacts the lives of tens of
thousands of patients each year and together we are planning today for the care of our
community's future generations.
Our friend Kathy Cresci was one of those touched by Sequoia's care. In return, she left
her own indelible mark within our halls. She shared her story, increasing awareness of
the path she travelled so that others might travel the same road with comfort, dignity,
and care. She led by example, inspiring others to do what they could for those in
need. And when that was done, she took the time to reach out to those who had
listened by picking up the telephone on behalf of the Foundation to simply offer her
thanks to our donors.
I am inspired by the efforts of our hospital's caregivers, touched by the support of our
community, and humbled by the fact that Sequoia is where they choose to make their
impact. It is these individuals, and those who appear on the preceding pages, that
help to make Sequoia Hospital a special place.
