Dr. Ron Pierce's excellent rehabilitation that got him back to work
at his clinic, and Seth Alsup and his amazing recovery after the
quick actions of health care workers in ALMH's emergency department.
New technology with a tremendous impact on patient safety is
highlighted, as well as the new hospital's capabilities to make
patient experiences even better in 2011.
"Our focus throughout 2010 continued to be preserving our mission
and putting patient care above all else," said Dolan Dalpoas,
president and chief executive officer of ALMH. "At the heart of
every story in our annual report is a cohesive team of health care
workers, volunteers and physicians that is dedicated to improving
health."
The report highlights the $4.2 million of donations ALMH made to
the community in the form of unpaid costs of public programs,
traditional charity care, and various health prevention and
education initiatives.

benefactors and a listing of all donors making gifts in 2009. For
the first time, those who have contributed to the Preserve the
Mission campaign are named in a special section.
"We are so appreciative of our donors, who understand that
community support of our mission is critical," says Marty Ahrends,
executive director of the Abraham Lincoln Healthcare
Foundation. "Thanks to their loyal support and all the additional
donations during our Preserve the Mission campaign, ALHF can provide
