Friends of the Marin Healthcare District (FMHD) is a community organization whose members have extensive and diverse public service backgrounds, including significant expertise in the healthcare field. Our objective is to encourage and support an outstanding, financially viable Healthcare District comprised of a strong and vibrant healthcare network that provides excellent service to meet the health needs of our community’s diverse populations. As the District begins its transition of the publicly owned Marin General Hospital (MGH) from Sutter Health to public control, FMHD seeks to ensure that healthcare is high quality and comprehensive, financial challenges facing the District are managed appropriately and successfully, and District governance is open, fair and void of conflicts of interest. FMHD also strives to help build alliances and networks between the District and other organizations, and to encourage greater public participation in planning for the District’s future.
