AS SIMI VALLEY HOSPITAL
continues to grow and
change for the benefit of our community, it is so encouraging
to see the way our community reciprocates with such
wonderful support for the hospital.
In August, our 19th annual Simi Valley Hospital Foundation
Golf Classic raised approximately $100,000 for the Emergency
Services and Hospital Expansion Project, pushing the
foundation’s overall event-related fundraising total for the year
to 15 percent above last year’s mark.
Just last month, 30 physicians expressed their support for
the hospital as charter members of our new Caduceus Society.
(See related story below.) We’re so grateful for their leadership in the launch of this
exciting new annual giving program.
We’re looking forward to 2015, which is the 50th anniversary of Simi Valley
Hospital. One of the many places we’ll be celebrating is at our annual Hats
Off to Women event on Friday, April 17. (See the box at bottom right for more
information on that event.) We’re excited for the days ahead as our community
continues to provide for the future of health care in Simi Valley through their
generous support. Happy holidays to everyone!

Growing together
OUR HOSPITAL, OUR COMMUNITY
Philanthropic physicians
The Simi Valley Hospital Foundation
has launched the Caduceus Society, an
annual giving program for Simi Valley
Hospital physicians.
“Through their annual dues to the
Caduceus Society, physicians will
have the opportunity to generously
extend their personal and professional
relationship with the hospital,” said
Michelle Foster, president of the Simi
Valley Hospital Foundation.
Philanthropic support from the
medical staff is crucial to the hospital’s
success, said Simi Valley Hospital
Foundation board member Jonathan
Kurohara, MD.
“As physicians, we realize how
vitally important it is to have quality
programs, facilities and services,” he
said. “This is a great way to express
our support for Simi Valley Hospital’s
mission to serve our community with
high-quality, compassionate care.”
Physicians who joined the Caduceus
Society by November 1 became charter
members of the group. They include:
Join us for a fun day of learning, laughing and celebrating fabulous women!
