For over a century the Women’s Board and Auxiliaries have raised millions of dollars to fund diverse projects to support the Abington community.
Cancer Care
The current fundraising focus of the Women’s Board is for cancer care at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center – Asplundh Cancer Pavilion. Our completed pledge of $2 million supported the building of the Asplundh Cancer Pavilion. Our current pledge of $3 million, over five years, supports the Image Recovery Center, which brings the amenities of a luxury spa to patients interested in restoring their appearance before, during, and after experiencing the side effects of cancer treatment.
Newborn Care
Through targeted giving programs and events, funds are being raised to support newborn wellness for graduates of the level III neonatal intensive care unit (Cleary Newborn Wellness Center), uninsured or underinsured from birth to three months until primary care is established (Corrine Santerian Newborn Center), and the National Safe Sleep Program.
Underserved Community
The auxiliaries support underserved patients in our community through Hartnett Health Center, an OB/GYN clinic, a dental clinic, a community holiday program, patient special needs funding, and the Cards of Hope campaign.
Community
The Women’s Board and Auxiliaries support community members through Safe Harbor and Safe Center. We provide a safe and comfortable environment in the hospital by fundraising for the hospital’s elder life program and various hospital refurbishing needs.
Healthcare Education
Financial support is given for fellowships within the hospital, scholarships to Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School, clinical equipment at Dixon Campus of Jefferson College of Nursing, and employee training programs.
