Community Regional Medical Center today announced a $1.65 million gift to support pediatrics and the emergency department in downtown Fresno.
 
The donor is anonymous, but shared their family received excellent care at Community’s facilities and wanted to give back to the hospital that cared for them in their time of need.

“This transformational gift will upgrade nine pediatric patient rooms at Community Regional with colorful designs, a new nutrition space and an upgraded playroom in the 5C pediatric unit,” said Katie Zenovich, Chief Fund Development Officer and Senior Vice President of Development & External Affairs. 
 
“This donation will give our pediatric patients a more comfortable, kid-friendly environment,” she said.

Gift will increase access to a vital diagnostic tool

Zenovich said the majority of the gift will secure a second CT scanner for the emergency department and build the necessary space to house it at Community Regional.

“On average, 75% of the patients who need a CT come from the emergency department. This new machine addresses a critical need, increasing access to a vital diagnostic tool which will help us provide better service to our patients,” she said.
