St. Rose Hospital Foundation Receives $75K Grant from Fremont Bank Foundation

Grant will fund facility upgrades to ensure best possible care

HAYWARD, Calif., November 21, 2013—St. Rose Hospital, a nonprofit health care organization serving the East Bay community, will soon begin facility upgrades to improve care for the thousands of Alameda County residents it serves each year. The work is made possible thanks to Fremont Bank Foundation, which recently contributed a $75,000 grant for the improvements.

“We are thrilled to receive this grant and grateful to Fremont Bank Foundation for its generous support of our work,” said Michael Cobb, executive director of St. Rose Hospital Foundation. “Because we are a nonprofit and an independent hospital, grants like this are needed so that we can continue offering excellent, cost-effective care to all of our patients.”
