伊甸园医疗中心已向圣莱昂德罗的戴维斯街家庭资源中心食品储藏室捐赠了1万美元。这笔捐款是萨特健康公司向北加州、俄勒冈州和夏威夷的28个食物银行捐赠26.5万美元的一部分。这个非营利性健康网络的捐赠使当地的食物银行能够向有需要的人提供健康的膳食或食品袋。
“Many of the most vulnerable people in our community—including children and seniors—worry every day about where their next meal is coming from,” said Stephen Gray, CEO of Eden Medical Center. “I’m very proud that Eden and Sutter Health have made this donation to support the Davis Street Family Resource Center Food Pantry. By helping feed our neighbors, we’re supporting a healthier community.”
“We’re thankful to Eden Medical Center and Sutter Health’s commitment to our community. Their gift will help replenish our barren shelves and support the thousands of working poor families and seniors that turn to us to help put food on the table,” said Rose Padilla Johnson, CEO Davis Street Resource Center Food Pantry.
Sutter Health’s donations to community food banks over the past 10 years total more than $2 million—which has fed countless individuals and families.
48年来，戴维斯街与阿拉米达县消防局、圣莱安德罗警官协会、当地学校、俱乐部、宗教社区和企业合作，向整个卡斯特罗谷、圣莱安德罗、圣洛伦索、阿什兰和切里兰的1000多个低收入家庭提供食品篮。去年，节日篮子计划为1002个家庭，包括212名老人和1600多名儿童提供了节日盛宴；其中包括火鸡、新鲜农产品、季节性商品，以及儿童的新玩具或礼品卡。

Sutter Health’s Commitment to Communities
As a not-for-profit organization, Sutter Health believes in giving back. Sutter Health’s total community benefit investment was $612 million in 2017. These funds supported traditional charity care, unreimbursed Medi-Cal costs, health education and community clinics. Locally Sutter Health and Eden Medical Center invest in Davis Street’s Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and the Tiburcio Vasquez Health Center to expand access to medical and behavioral health services.
