  • Manage the day-to-day operations of the Foundation office, including ordering supplies, processing mail, and coordinating with vendors and hospital departments.
  • Maintain organized filing systems (electronic and hard copy) and ensure adherence to privacy, retention, and confidentiality standards in all aspects of the job.
  • Support the development and implementation of office procedures and administrative systems to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Financial and Database Support

  • Assist with the preparation of invoices, expense reports, and credit card reconciliations.
  • Support gift processing and data entry in collaboration with the Finance Coordinator.
