Our mission is to Partner with Mark Twain Medical Center and Dignity Health to optimize physician development through successful recruitment and retention strategies and processes, to review and evaluate lease agreements with Mark Twain Medical Center corporation and develop lease discussion processes.

The secondary goal of Mark Twain Health Care District is to collaborate with the Mark Twain Medical Center Foundation to establish it as the foundation of choice for health services in Calaveras County. Our mission is to assist in identifying strategies for building a strong donor base, fundraising for the new Angels Camp clinic, fundraising for new hospital equipment and continuing to provide strong support in community education.

Mark Twain Medical Center Foundation

The Foundation is a non-profit fundraising organization created by a caring community to help support its local hospital. In 1982, a concerned and dedicated Calaveras County community recognized the need and started organizing the first Hospital Foundation. In 1984, it became a reality and within two years, the Foundation raised $92,000 to purchase and install the first mammography equipment in Calaveras County. Since then, the Foundation has been instrumental in acquiring various equipment, updating patient care rooms, and donating $1 million dollars to the MTMC Building Fund. Learn more …
