Kent Hospital Auxiliary reaches $1M pledge goal

WARWICK – The Kent Hospital Auxiliary has reached its $1 million pledge made to the hospital to help support important clinical services and advancements.
Kent Hospital, a Care New England 359-bed, acute care hospital, is Rhode Island’s second-largest hospital, serving approximately 300,000 residents of central Rhode Island.
In January 2012, the auxiliary pledged to raise $1 million for the ambulatory service pavilion, dialysis unit and renovations to the 3 North patient floor. Through the group’s annual golf tournament, the hospitality shop revenue and numerous fundraisers, this pledge was reached in about three and a half years, well under the five-year estimate.
Auxiliary members presented the check recently during their annual luncheon.
“The hard work and dedication the Kent Hospital Auxiliary has demonstrated is truly commendable,” said Dr. Michael J. Dacey, president and COO of Kent Hospital. “They are tireless ambassadors for the hospital and our community. Their generosity and ongoing commitment is a testament to their hard work and leadership for the growth and betterment of Kent Hospital.”
Mary-Jane Sweetland, president of the Kent Hospital Auxiliary, said giving back to the hospital for its community work is an honor.
“The auxiliary is thrilled to be able to present this million dollar donation to ensure the constant improvement of programs and services that daily help meet the needs of so many,” she said.
