We're proud to support the Bay Area
and the people who call it home
We believe our community deserves to share in our success – and that giving back means giving of ourselves. It’s a natural extension of the cooperation and service you’ll find in our unique workplace culture. The organizations and events we currently support include the John Muir Health Women’s Philanthropic Circle, Walnut Creek Chamber of Commerce, Friends of Clausen House Dance and the Global AIDS Interfaith Alliance.
John Muir Health Women’s Philanthropic Circle
John Muir Health Women’s Philanthropic Circle provides women an exciting opportunity to combine their resources to fund advanced medical technology and to maintain the healthcare excellence expected in our community. The Circle began in 2002 with 25 members and has grown to 56 members. In the nine years since its inception, the Circle has raised nearly $450,000. Its funds are distributed annually to various departments through a voting process and have been used for items such as a digital ultrasound system, patient tracking system, capsule endoscopy system and many other prioritized needs. Additionally, members are invited to attend three education seminar luncheons each year and are welcome to bring guests. These luncheon seminars are held in the spring and fall with a holiday luncheon in late November or December. Activities for 2011 include an oncology seminar on September 21, including a tour of the new Theresa M. Caygill Breast Health Center, and a holiday luncheon on November 30.
