In Memory of Ricki

Throughout Ricki's journey, he was cared for with kindness, compassion, and dignity by the dedicated health care families of Highland and Fairmont Hospitals. With gratitude for the care and support he received, we invite you to honor Ricki’s memory by giving back in a way that helps continue that same spirit of care for others in our community.

Give a Memorial Gift

A financial gift to the Alameda Health System Foundation is a meaningful way to honor Ricki's life and support compassionate healthcare for patients and families throughout our community. When making a donation, please designate your gift "In Memory of Ricki."


Support Patients in Need

Highland Hospital's Emergency Room maintains a clothing closet to provide clean clothing and essential items for patients who may leave the hospital without their personal belongings after receiving emergency care.

Donations of items such as coats, shoes, and new or gently used men's and plus-size clothing help provide comfort and dignity to patients during a difficult time.

To learn more about current needs or coordinate a clothing donation, please contact Alameda Health System at guestservices@alamedahealthsystem.org.
