How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKEPORT, Calif. – In 2014, Sutter Lakeside contributed to more than 30 local organizations and programs to positively impact people’s health throughout Lake County.
“Our No. 1 goal is always to deliver outstanding care to Lake County, and there are many organizations and events in our communities that share this goal,” said Sutter Lakeside Chief Administrative Officer Siri Nelson. “It’s not only our pleasure, but our responsibility to help these organizations.”
Sutter Lakeside provided funds and support this year to the American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, Lake Family Senior Center, March of Dimes, Mendocino College, Rotary Club and Terrace Middle School, to name a few.
One of the largest contributions went to sponsor the Lake County Office of Education Hero Project, a free, ongoing program that provides technology-based and live resources to help community members improve their parenting skills. Why? The program’s tagline says it all: “Because Every Child Needs a Hero.”
Another large Sutter Lakeside donation went to the Mendocino College Nursing Program to help train more registered nursing students in Lake County.
“The donation helped us retain a full-time faculty member for our nursing program,” says Mendocino College Nursing Director Barbara French, Ph.D. “Without Sutter’s generosity we were likely going to have to cut student admissions and accept a new class every two years instead of annually.”
In addition, Sutter Lakeside has participated in many health-related events throughout the year, from various Lake County health fairs to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, the Community Care AIDS Walk, the local Habitat for Humanity dinner, the Senior Center Meals on Wheels and the Sponsoring Survivorship Breast Cancer Walk.
“At Sutter Lakeside, our mission extends beyond the walls of our care facilities,” Nelson said. “We feel strongly about putting our mission into action by investing in local programs and events that promote health in our community.”
