MarinHealth Foundation’s Black Tie Gala, Come Sail Away, will be held on Friday, April 11, 2025. We are pleased to acknowledge our event chairs Mike & Sharon Stone as well as our physician champion Natalya Lvoff, MD. This year proceeds will benefit MarinHealth Breast Health through the purchase of four new next-generation tomosynthesis mammography units.

This will make high-quality mammograms even easier and faster — improving the experience for patients and expanding our ability to meet a wide range of needs. Because early detection is the best protection when it comes to breast health, MarinHealth relies on leading-edge tomosynthesis mammography to serve our patients. Anticipating recommended guidelines for replacement, we are raising funds toward the purchase and installation of the new equipment in 2026.

Tomosynthesis is an advanced form of mammography that uses digital x-rays to create thin, detailed images of the breast. By enabling radiologists to see breast tissue in greater detail, the technology helps detect breast cancer early when it is easier to treat. Scrolling through images captured by the machine, radiologists are better able to distinguish between suspicious and normal findings, reducing the number of false positives.

We hope that you will consider joining us! Together with your philanthropic support, we will continue to ensure quality care and outstanding outcomes.
