WARWICK — The Bon Secours Warwick Health Foundation recently reported that it had raised $14,750 in its 2013 annual year-end appeal to purchase of new medical technology and to upgrade patient care spaces.

The medical staff at the three Warwick health care facilities, which include St. Anthony Community Hospital, Schervier Pavilion and Mount Alverno, raised an additional $5,000 in matching donations bringing the final tally close to $20,000.

“We were delighted by the incredible response to our appeal letters from members of the community,” said Foundation Chair Raul Berina. “Their generosity and that of our medical staff will benefit many.”
