April 3, 2026 – John C. Fremont Healthcare District officials announce some much-anticipated good news.
The new Hamilton T-1 ventilator is here and in use at John C. Fremont Healthcare District! Pictured with the new ventilator are JCF Hospital Foundation board president Heather Bernikoff, major donors Glenn and Kathy Sutherland, Healthcare District respiratory therapists Savannah Dent and Anna Duaro, and Foundation fundraising committee chair Beth Tomsick. The old ventilator is shown in comparison.
Last year, the Healthcare District requested the $25,000 modern Hamilton T-1 ventilator to replace old, outdated equipment in order to provide the best possible care to our community. Through the Foundation’s fundraising campaign, the community delivered!
With sincere appreciation, the JCF Hospital Foundation would like to recognize major supporters Glenn and Kathy Sutherland and Rick Roeche; large donors Mariposa County Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center, Steve and Rosemarie Smallcombe, and Cathi Boze; and the many community members who gave smaller gifts. With everyone pulling together, we created a powerful impact for patient care.
This will save lives. For many years, the top complaints patients have when visiting the Emergency Department involve respiratory health. A state-of-the-art ventilator is a crucial piece of equipment.
