Dear Friends

and Neighbors

I am chairing this capital campaign for a very personal reason: the care my family has received. I think we’re really fortunate to have this outstanding level of care delivered in a warm, friendly manner – and so close to home. It’s important we help Copley keep up with technology, with facilities that meet present-day standards. That’s why I encourage you to join me in supporting this campaign.

Elaine Nichols, StowePatient, Trustee and Chair of the Capital Campaign

Copley Hospital is one of our region’s treasures: a close-to-home medical center that delivers warm, personal care and is one of the nation’s top 100 Critical Access hospitals. The surgical facilities are its working heart — and Copley’s operating rooms were last updated in 1979. Our superb surgical team delivers top-quality outcomes, but they’re coping with severely cramped spaces not suited for today’s complex, technology- assisted procedures.

We’re asking you to join us in supporting Critical Caring: Copley’s Campaign for the New Surgical Suite. Our contributions will enable Copley to make every patient’s path through care as comfortable and

A strong Copley Hospital is vital to more than personal health. It’s also key to strengthening and maintaining the economic health of our region, as a place where families can thrive, businesses want to locate, and skilled professionals choose to live and work.

seamless as it can be, with facilities designed for workflow efficiency and the best in community medicine.

With the new Surgical Suite, we can ensure that Copley continues to provide the highest-quality care to meet the needs of our community, with an even better experience for patients and families. I think it’s a win-win all around.

Let’s step up together! Copley’s future is our future — and your gift will help make the new Surgical Suite a reality. Nancy PutnamJeffersonvillePatient and Chair Copley Hospital Board of Trustees

Efficient, tech-ready workspaces for surgeons & their teams

The design of Copley’s new Surgical Suite will make every patient’s path toward optimum healing as easy and supportive as the experience can be.

Copley’s New Surgical Suite will be built off of the main entrance, tucked in between the main lobby and the Rehabilitation Services building, and connecting to the back of Outpatient Services.

Easy entrance for surgery patients; dedicated waiting area for families

Optimally designed sterilization & storage areas

Comfortable, confidential space for consultation with surgeons

Improved privacy in transitions to other areas of the hospital

New combined Pre-Op & Recovery Rooms

Procedure Rooms, for minor & outpatient procedures, moved to Surgical Suite for efficient care

The BestPatient

Experience

3 ORs designed for top efficiency & “best practice” standards

Optimally designed sterilization & storage areas

I use the operating rooms as a surgeon, and we do a great job, but the facilities haven’t been updated in size for 35 years. With a new Surgical Suite, we can keep providing the best outcomes, with first-rate technology and more efficiency. That’s why I support the Critical Caring Campaign for Copley Hospital — because our gifts will make such a difference to the health of this community.

Lanny and I had never donated to a hospital before, but a local hospital is a critical resource to the community, for both permanent residents and the swelling summer population. I recently spent eight days as a patient at Copley — and I learned first-hand that the doctors, nurses, and staff care about their patients, listen to our needs, and do their very best to hasten our recovery. Copley is a small hospital that allows a very personal service. Their positive, caring attitude was vital to my recovery. We are fortunate to have Copley Hospital in our community, and we are delighted to support it.

As a physician who walks the hallways of Copley Hospital, I see the plaques recognizing prior donors. They remind me that a lot of people are involved in our institution’s success — not just the clinical teams and our dedicated staff, but also the wonderful people who back Copley financially. Working together, we can continue providing the best care locally, in a facility that meets the best standards of care. We really can change people’s lives.
