Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

TO ASSIST THE ERIE COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER CORPORATION IN PROCURING THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO BE THE MEDICAL CENTER OF CHOICE THROUGH EXCELLENCE IN PATIENT CARE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

2023 WAS A YEAR FOR ECMC THAT MARKED GROWTH IN SERVICES, IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY, SUCCESS WITH ACCREDITATION, EFFORTS TO SUPPORT OUR CARING AND INCLUSIVE CULTURE, AND OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS FROM THE LINGERING EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. IN ALMOST EVERY MEASURABLE CATEGORY, INCREASES DEMONSTRATED A SUSTAINABLE POSITIVE TREND IN PATIENT VOLUMES. POSITIVE OPERATIONS GROWTH WAS REFLECTED IN OUR OUTPATIENT SERVICES (8.2%), EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS (7.9%) AND GENERAL SURGERIES (6.7%). AND TOTAL ACUTE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY DROPPED BY 12.1%, WHICH IS VERY BENEFICIAL TO OUR PATIENTS AND OVERALL HOSPITAL OPERATIONS. WHILE THESE INCREASES HAVE NOT MITIGATED OUR FINANCIAL CHALLENGES, THEY ARE HELPING US SIGNIFICANTLY AS WE, LIKE ALL HOSPITALS ACROSS NEW YORK, RECOVER FROM THE EFFECTS OF RESPONDING TO THE COVID PANDEMIC. WE OFTEN SPEAK ABOUT ECMC'S UNIQUE CULTURE AND THE DEDICATION AND RESILIENCE OF OUR CAREGIVERS. THEY ARE THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR INSTITUTION. THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND NA

  • ON BEHALF OF THE HOSPITAL ("ECMC"), THE ECMC FOUNDATION RAISED, HELD, AND ADMINISTERED FUNDS THAT WERE INVESTED INTO ACHIEVING THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE AND TRAUMA CARE FOR PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE, GENDER, ETHNICITY, INCOME, OR INSURANCE STATUS. SUCH FUNDS WERE UTILIZED FOR FREE HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS, WELLNESS SEMINARS, AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN THE CITY OF BUFFALO AND WESTERN NEW YORK. ECMC FOUNDATION'S MOBILE MAMMOGRAPHY COACH IS AN EXAMPLE OF A HEALTHCARE/EDUCATIONAL/WELLNESS PROGRAM FOR WOMEN THAT HAS BENEFITED FROM THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED BY ECMC FOUNDATION. THE MOBILE SCREENING PROGRAM TRAVELS TO OFF-SITE LOCATIONS AND OFFERS FREE WALK-ON SCREENINGS FOR WOMEN, REGARDLESS OF THEIR INSURANCE STATUS, IN ADDITION TO BREAST HEALTH EDUCATION. ECMC FOUNDATION'S SUMMER YOUTH HEALTHCARE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW FUNDS RAISED BY ECMC FOUNDATION HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO IMPROVING HEALTH CARE EDUCATION FOR YOUNG CITIZENS. THE INTERNSHIP ALLOWS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO EXPLORE CAREERS IN MEDICAL FIELDS AND THE HEALTH SCIENCES WHILE RECEIVING MENTORING BY HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS IN A HOSPITAL SETTING. EACH YEAR THE SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM HAS 120 YOUTH PARTICIPANTS. ECMC FOUNDATION'S FUNDS HAVE ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO ADVANCEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE IN HOSPITAL STAFF TRAINING PROGRAMS AND EMPLOYEE EDUCATION SEMINARS. ECMC FOUNDATION PERIODICALLY PROVIDES FINANCIAL AND ADMINSTRATIVE SUPPORT FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AT ECMC, INCLUDING INNOVATIONS IN TECHNOLOGY, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, AND SAFETY FOR HOSPITAL PATIENTS AND EMPLOYEES. ECMC FOUNDATION'S ABILITY TO ADMINISTER DONOR REQUESTS AND/OR HOSPITAL NEEDS HAS HELPED ECMC BECOME ONE OF THE LEADING PUBLIC HOSPITALS IN THE CITY OF BUFFALO AND WESTERN NEW YORK COMMUNITY.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
