A $200,000 donation from the Mallory Foundation supports triage area remodel
(CARSON CITY, Nev.) – The Mallory Foundation, a private foundation located in Carson City, announced a $200,000 donation to fund significant modifications to the Emergency Department located at the Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center. The “Mallory Foundation Triage Lobby” and renovated treatment areas, will allow better patient flow and improved access for the more than 33,000 annual visitors to the Carson Tahoe Emergency Department. The donation was made public at the November 4, 2011, Carson Tahoe Foundation fundraiser held at Genoa Lakes Resort.
“We are honored that the Mallory Trustees have chosen to support Carson Tahoe with this gift. They recognized the significant community benefits of enhancing Emergency Department processes and immediately stepped up to assist,” said Cheri Glockner, Carson Tahoe Development Director. “Gifts of this magnitude are appreciated now more than ever. Philanthropic support from individuals and Foundations helps to ease the financial burden of declining reimbursements and the funding gaps that arise from caring for our uninsured patients. This donation will allow us to begin construction right away and we look forward to completing the Mallory Foundation Triage Lobby in early 2012.”
