Donor Spotlight
Notes from the Chair:
Many people are surprised to
learn that the government
doesn’t provide our hospitals
with funding for equipment.
As a community, we must
continue to give generously
to ensure our hospital
can purchase the
equipment it needs
to continue to deliver
exceptional care.
- Jennifer Olfert
