It looks to me like both communities have been funding equipment and facilities for a long, long time with donated monies:

"Alliance Healthcare Foundation
The Alliance Healthcare Foundation endeavor is to create healthier communities through philanthropy, volunteerism and community partnerships.

Since 1977, the Foundation has supported the hospitals’ programs, services and growing needs.....

Charitable gifts to the Alliance Healthcare Foundation are one of the most important and fulfilling ways to make a positive difference in the well-being of our community, since every patient is treated regardless of their ability to pay." (from CFHA Foundation website)
