Message from Dr. Afable, President and CEO of Hoag Hospital
Hoag Hospital is at an important crossroad in time. Building on our historical strengths, we are challenged with the need to revive, rebuild and renew our campus and our health care delivery systems.
Renaissance Hoag is the Hoag Hospital Foundation response. Philanthropy will help us reach significance through program growth and development, expansion of our facilities, enhancement of technology, and broadening of our medical staff leadership.
Already, Hoag Hospital has achieved success by helping to create the future of how healthcare should be provided. Our vision for the next decade is to bring cohesion to quality care through a strong relationship of our most treasured resources including our people, technology and our innovative spirit.
Philanthropy through Renaissance Hoag will help transform the hospital from a great community hospital to an extraordinary medical enterprise. We look forward to this dynamic journey with you as a partner.
