St. Rose Hospital Foundation

What St. Rose Hospital Foundation does

St. Rose Hospital Foundation is a tax-exempt, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1977 to raise philanthropic funds for St. Rose Hospital, a 171-licensed bed general acute care hospital in Hayward, California. The Foundation channels donations through fundraising events (including the Spectacular gala, Jingle Bell Shop, and Charity Golf Classic), grant writing, planned giving, bequests, gifts of stock, and corporate sponsorships (Triple Crown Corporate Sponsorship tiers), having raised over $18 million cumulatively since inception. The Foundation operates with its own board chaired by Ronald G. Peck and is led by Executive Director Michael Cobb.

The supported hospital is a Designated STEMI Cardiac Receiving Center (one of only four in Alameda County and one of nine California hospitals certified by CDPH for Elective PCI), with a 24/7 Emergency Department handling over 40,000 visits annually, clinical departments spanning cardiology, emergency services, diagnostic imaging, clinical lab, hospitalist program, nursing units (ICU/Telemetry/Med-Surg), orthopaedics, outpatient care, rehabilitation, and surgical services, plus a newly opened Subacute Unit. Technical assets include a cardiac catheterization lab (achieving a 66-minute average door-to-balloon vs. the AHA 90-minute target), Meditech MHealth patient portal, a real-time ED clinical information system, and a 797-compliant IV Admixture pharmacy suite.

Revenue is generated primarily through patient services billed to insurance plans (PPO, HMO, Medicare, Medi-Cal, Workers Comp, Senior Advantage), government program reimbursements, and Foundation philanthropic contributions. The hospital serves as a safety-net provider to 400,000 residents of central and south Alameda County regardless of income or insurance status, and operates Charity Care (≤400% FPG) and Discount Care (400–500% FPG) programs. On November 1, 2024, the hospital affiliated with Alameda Health System to address a near-closure triggered by $2 million monthly losses, and on April 9, 2026, Stanford University and AHS announced a partnership to expand specialty care at the campus. Labor & Delivery services were suspended on February 18, 2025.
