大侠行天下日记 我见我闻我思 0512



為公益事业解囊 送上社会温情

四千五百九十万巨额捐款给公立医院



成立於一九九二年的德州赫里斯郡医院基金会多年来在各界人士之热心捐助下 先后已经為赫里斯郡所属之五家公立医院捐助了超过一亿多美元 今天上午在一项捐赠仪式中 基金会再次向医院捐出了四千五百九十万美元


基金会成立為非营利组织其宗旨是唤起民眾对社区健康之重视 并协助赫里斯郡医院系统改进各项设备增进居民之福祉


在这项巨额赠中 将把三千万元用於改建本塔急救中心之改建和医疗设备 一千五百万元用在公立詹森医院紧急治疗中心之改建及其他设施 九十万元用於梅鐸紧急诊所之改建工程之用 為了感谢基金董事会对公衞事业之贡献,两大医院将把基金会董事名单刻在大门进口处 表彰他们之努力捐献


赫里斯医院基金会当初是由本鐸医院指献人本鐸家人成立 多年来其后代人一直主持基金会之工作 一直到去年才由民间企业家弗兰克林先生担任会长 赫里斯医院系统是由县政府每年以二十亿経费支持五家公立医院 尤其是公立本鐸医院绝大多数之病人都是没有医疗保险 而这些医院都是来者不拒 提供最佳之治疗 更显示我们社会慈善关怀的最高情操


过去十多年来 我也非常荣幸一直担任董事一职 経常参加在富人俱乐部之募捐活动 许多休斯敦地区之富豪名流常常是大笔一挥 捐上百万是家常便饭 我也真正目睹了这些慈善家之爱心

我们也希望大家都能发挥爱心慷慨解囊 為贫穷市民尽份心 

此次之巨额捐款 除了各大基金会之外主要还是来自市井小民 每当我们看到许多贫困居民遇有病痛 只有到公立医院求医 否则 一般医院之费用是非常高昂 老实说,我们的社会还是有十分温暖的一面。


赫里斯郡医院基金会多年之工作 受到社会各界之高度肯定 我成為其中一员 也是毕生之荣





Big Check To Harris County Hospital System


The Harris County Hospital District Foundation Board passed a resolution and an unprecedented grant to the Harris Health System, which included a $30 million restricted grant to Ben Taub Hospital Level I Trauma Center (the Ginni and Richard Mithoff Trauma Center) for construction costs and medical equipment only. Another $15 million grant to the Lyndon Johnson Hospital Level III Emergency Center construction costs and medical equipment was passed along with a $99,000.00 grant for the Ben Taub Hospital Level I construction costs. The total amount will be $45.9 million dollars.


The Harris County Hospital District Foundation, a charitable 501C3 organization, raises funds and awareness in support of the Harris Health System. Established in 1992, the Foundation already has granted in excess of $104 million for the Harris Health System programs and services.


Over the years, the Foundation has created and sponsored a number of annual events in the community with the goal of raising community awareness about the Harris Health System, while at the same time raising funds targeted for specific hospital programs and services.


Today the Harris County government supports five public hospitals and other institutions in our area. Most of them are services that empower people in the region. They have a budget of over $2 billion, but they still need the general public to help the foundation to continue to play a very important role in their development.


I am very honored and proud to have served on the Board for over the last ten years. I also want to urge our community and friends to open your checkbooks and donate your money to help those people who really need your help.


The work done by the Harris County Hospital Foundation is highly recognized by our community. Under the leadership of Mr. Theodore Franklin and many other Board members, we want to recognize and show our appreciation for your service.
