ECMC Foundation Inc

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. These 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 providing 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 healthcare education for youth. The internship program provides high school students the opportunity to explore careers in medical fields and the health sciences, while receiving mentoring by healthcare professionals in a hospital setting. ECMC Foundation also supports hospital staff training programs and employee education seminars. And ECMC Foundation periodically provides financial and administrative support for capital improvements at ECMC, including the new state-of-the-art KeyBank Trauma and Emergency Department, innovations in technology, medical equipment, and safety for hospital patients and employees.
