Our History at a Glance Marin General Hospital, now MarinHealth Medical Center, has been a mainstay of North Bay healthcare ever since our founding as a community hospital by the Marin Healthcare District, back in 1952. By 2010, it had become abundantly clear that we needed to build a new hospital in order to best serve our growing community and fulfill the requirements of California's stringent new seismic mandates. Job one, of course, was finding the funds. We were able to meet our goal of more than $500 million through a combination of community support via a general obligation bond, the boundless generosity of our donors, and loans. We are proud to take care of this community, and so very grateful that our community takes such good care of our hospital. Fast-Forward with Measure F In 2013, the Marin Healthcare District Board of Directors placed Measure F on the Marin County ballot. The measure called for $394 million in bonds to finance the construction of a new, seismically safe Marin General Hospital building and modernize existing facilities. The Board's most pressing goal was to ensure that Marin County's trauma center would meet California's strict new seismic standards so the hospital could stay open in the aftermath of a major earthquake. The 60-year-old facility had to be disaster-ready, not just for quake- related injuries but also for everyday emergencies like heart attack and stroke. Two other major factors helped determine the amount of money requested. The Board understood that a state-of-the-art hospital would greatly enhance Marin's ability to attract the most dynamic and accomplished physicians. In addition, they wanted the hospital to reflect the community's love of nature and respect for the environment. That meant building a green hospital designed to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards. Voters rose to the occasion and the ballot measure passed overwhelmingly. As inspiring as it was to see the community come together to fund our new hospital, we were still millions short of our target. We moved forward nonetheless, hoping to make up the difference through loans and philanthropy. Our Community Came Through! In order to raise funds to build a healing place worthy of our community, the Marin General Hospital Foundation (now MarinHealth Foundation) launched the Building Better Health Capital Campaign. Historically, our donors have been exceptionally generous, but this campaign surpassed our greatest expectations. We have been blessed with contributions of all sizes, including several in the millions of dollars. We also received hundreds of smaller donations that added up to make a huge difference. Our donors included major philanthropists, community leaders, physicians, and grateful patients and their families. We also received generous support from our internal team. We launched the We're All In employee campaign and were touched to see many of our employees contribute their own hard-earned dollars. We needed the community's support and they delivered! We are so grateful and proud of this wonderful community for opening your hearts to benefit the health of the North Bay. Thanks to your generosity, we have realized our vision for Marin's Healing Place. We look forward to serving you well for decades to come.

Our donors didn't just give, many of them gave the biggest gift of their lives to help make this possible. We couldn't be more grateful for the investment these families made in this new hospital and, ultimately, in the quality of healthcare we can now provide for generations to come."
