La Rabida Announces Release of 2009 e-Annual Report

Monday March 1st, 2010

La Rabida released its 2009 Annual Report, together, online exclusively on our website:

www.larabida.org/annualreport

The 18-page year-in review tells the story of how La Rabida meets its mission to care for children with special healthcare needs by working together not only with patients and their families, but also the larger community, donors and referring medical providers.

Central to its mission is La Rabida’s commitment to treat patients regardless of their ability to pay. Many of the hospital’s 9,000 patients have medically complex conditions, requiring more services more often. Some exceed the lifetime maximum of private hospital insurance and most depend on Medicaid.

“Working together, we identify what a child needs today to maximize his or her health and well-being in the years ahead,’’ the annual report states.

This is the second year the hospital has produced an e-annual report online, foregoing the cost of printing and postage, saving natural and material resources as supporters look for greater returns on their investments.

Postcard previews were sent to supporters notifying them of the report’s online availability.
