About Us
The Baroness Erlanger Foundation 
The Baroness Erlanger Foundation advances medical excellence in our region through investments in technology, clinical programs, medical education, research and facilities. The ultimate objective of our efforts is to improve clinical quality, expand access to care, drive medical innovation, enhance service and create a healing environment. The foundation's efforts are almost exclusively directed at enhancing initiatives to benefit adult patients. The foundation collaborates with Erlanger Health System and its academic partners. The foundation was created in 1992.
Recent projects include:
- Creating a new, digital, bi-plane cardiac catheterization lab to enhance heart care for children and adults
- Securing grants in excess of $2 million to create Erlanger Care Centers, which provides a system in Erlanger's emergency rooms to allow for separate treatment of non-emergency patients and to help connect them with a primary care physician for on-going medical management.
- Building a telemedicine system that will link most of our region with specialist care at Erlanger, provide continuing medical education to distant primary care physicians and ultimately improve the health of our residents in areas that previously had limited access to care from specialists.
- Collaborating with a local family to create an annual educational lecture series on incorporating humanitarian values in medicine.

- Champions quality and enhances patient safety through efforts such as quality and safety benchmarking and educational programs and capital acquisitions to implement best practices such as replacing every IV infusion pump in Children's Hospital with "smart pumps" that help eliminate dosage errors for IV medications to children.
- Expands and enhances the healing environment and key technology in clinical areas such as the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and General Pediatric Clinic.
- Enables the purchase of new technology in an environment uniquely designed for kids, such as the creation of the new Emily Ransom CT Ranch which provides high quality, low radiation radiology scans for kids in an area decorated to look like a Western Ranch to reduce the anxiety of young patients.
